I'm Really Not A Nen Exorcist (HxH Fanfic)

Soon after, the two set off to the coordinate given by Netero.

That coordinate pointed to the border of the West Gorteau Republic, separated from the East Gorteau Republic by only a river.

It took two days for Moses and Kurapika to arrive at a small town on the border, and they soon found Netero, who had been waiting in a tavern for a long time.

In addition to Netero, there are two assassins from the Zoldyck Family, namely Zeno Zoldyck and Silva Zoldyck.

If it was Netero's own private money, he could only hire Zeno at most.

But with the 10 billion Jenny added by Moses, they had barely scraped together enough to invite the Zoldyck Family's old monster.

However, the old monster doesn't want to take on commissions like 'Dividing the Battlefield'.

Left with no choice, Netero had to spend all his money to hire Zeno and Silva.

Fortunately, they have a good relationship, otherwise, the Zoldyck Family would never have gotten involved.

As soon as Moses walked into the tavern, his eyes briefly met Zeno and Silva's.

The two sides are not familiar with each other, but they know each other.

If there is any problem, it is regarding the matter of Illumi being cut into a human stick.

Seeing that Zeno and Silva showed no particular reaction, Moses silently withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Netero.

After not seeing each other for twenty days, Netero had shaved his head and beard, and he had also changed his loose robe into his favorite 'heart' t-shirt he specially used for combat.

It can be seen that during this period of time, Netero had accumulated a lot of strength and made mental preparations for the final battle.

"Hohoho, Morel's already briefed me on your Chimera Ant hunts."

Netero looked at Moses and habitually raised his hand to stroke his beard, but he touched nothing. Then, he put his hand down calmly and said slowly: "You've done well, Moses."

"No need to praise me."

Moses shook his head slightly and sat down opposite Netero, gesturing for Kurapika to sit down as well. He then looked up at Netero and asked, "Did you get me an extra rose?"

"…"

Netero chuckled helplessly, then picked up the small satchel at his feet, and pushed it in front of Moses.

Moses opened the bag and immediately spotted the Poor Man's Rose peeking out. He then picked it up and threw it into the Shadow World.

'With this rose bomb as a backup, I won't have to worry about lacking insurance even if I do something out of the ordinary.'

Netero watched Moses throw the Poor Man's Rose into the Shadow World without saying anything.

The higher-ups had already authorized their use of the bomb, but the consequences, including the potential accountability, would fall entirely on the Hunter Association.

But in order to completely eradicate the threat posed by the Chimera Ants, Netero had no objection.

His position, perspective, as well as the scenery he could see...

Were fundamentally different from those guys who hold the world's power.

Therefore, his perspective on various things and the motivation for solving problems have nothing to do with power.

This was why the Hunter Association and Pro Hunters existed.

The second rose in Moses's place is to provide a margin of error and ensure the success of this assault.

But in Netero's opinion...

It would likely go unused.

As long as he can accurately split the battlefield, Netero has absolute confidence that he can 'checkmate' the King.

This was his resolution.

Moses looked at Netero and asked, "Old man, when does the operation begin?"

"Once everyone is gathered, we will take action immediately the next day."

At this point, Netero narrowed his eyes slightly and he chuckled, "The Chimera Ant King really picked a good place."

"Oh?"

Moses raised a brow.

Netero lowered his eyelids and said quietly, "The East Gorteau's palace is surrounded by barren wasteland. That... simplifies things."

When Moses heard this, he immediately understood what Netero meant by what he had just said.

The East Gorteau's palace stood on desolate red earth. If it is that kind of place, even if Poor Man's Rose is used directly, there is really no need to consider too many things.

Moses only thought about it for a moment and understood the fundamental reason why Netero made such a decision.

This is the chain reaction caused by Pitou's death...

Due to the lack of Pitou's Puppeteer Ability, the King did not manipulate King Deigo to manage the East Gorteau's citizens after occupying the palace, nor had he initiated the selection plan like in the original work.

Since the civilians did not approach the palace, they had fewer concerns about the use of Poor Man's Rose and did not have to worry about affecting too many innocent people.

So, based on this premise, Netero's attack plan became very simple, which was to launch a general attack on the palace directly, and then make adjustments according to the situation.

In Netero's view, only two things need to be done in this assault.

One is to confirm the situation of the hostages in the palace and let Knov use his abilities to ensure the safety of the hostages.

The other is to separate the King from his Royal Guards, creating a one-on-one battleground.

If he could defeat the King, then everything would be fine. Not only would he not have to activate the rose, but they could also ensure the safety of the hostages in the palace who might be used as food reserves.

If he was defeated by the King, they would not have the energy to take care of the hostages and he would have to directly activate the rose loaded in his bodies, sacrificing a few people in exchange for the demise of the Chimera Ants.

This is roughly what Netero thinks.

In fact, if they deliberately ignore the fact that 'there are hostages in the palace', they can directly drop a rose into the palace.

But Netero would never do that...

If he were that type of man, he would not have quit the Seirin Group years ago, and he would not have chosen to end the Seirin Group with his own hands because of ideological differences.

Sometimes-

The strength of human beings is not reflected in the amount of Aura, nor in the mastery of their techniques.

But in responsibility and conviction.

…

The next day at noon.

Morel and his group finally arrived at the border of the West Gorteau Republic. The next step was to launch a final assault on the palace where the King was.

However, what surprised Moses was...

Killua had come, but Gon was absent.

"Why are Grandpa and Dad here..."

Killua hid behind Moses, not daring to look at Silva, who was meditating with closed eyes.

Moses thought for a moment and explained, "Chairman Netero hired them."

In fact, if he hadn't provided the 10 billion Jenny, the only person who would have come would have been Zeno.

And for Killua, Silva's existence is the fundamental reason why he seems timid.

Moses knew this clearly and calmly put the blame on Netero.

"Killua, why isn't Gon with you?"

"Gon, he...went to find Kite."

Killua lowered his head and murmured.

Hearing this, Moses suddenly understood.
