152 Chapter 152 No Time, Huh?

The finger compass could lead the Hunter Association to Davison's location, but it couldn't be too far from Moses.

This means that, if the Hunter Association wants to use the finger compass ability to find Davidson, they would have to have Moses accompany them on the mission.

Hence, from the moment Cheadle returned to the law firm, she began to struggle.

From the perspective of the greater good, in order to solve this disaster that may endanger the whole world, she needs Moses to take risks and participate in the operation.

However, from a personal perspective, she genuinely didn't want Moses to take risks.

Just when she was in a dilemma, Moses took the initiative to express his stance, jokingly saying that he could join the mission together.

In fact, Moses also hopes to resolve Swamp Man Ability, which had a wide range of effects as soon as possible.

"Moses…"

Cheadle's dilemma disappeared from this moment.

She is originally even at both ends.

But now, Moses's response has easily tipped the scales to one side.

"Thank you…"

This is the second time Cheadle has thanked Moses today.

Moses just smiled.

To be honest, he always looked forward to some Nen battles within his capabilities.

This time, the need to collaborate with the Hunter Association might provide a decent opportunity.

Most importantly…

Perhaps he can experience Netero's charm with his own eyes, as well as the extremely oppressive 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva.

If given such an opportunity, Moses would like to measure how big the gap that exists between himself and Netero, who was once the world's strongest Nen User, with his own eyes.

After a while…

Moses and Cheadle returned to the office and briefly explained the reason to Lisha.

"Eh?"

Hearing that Moses was going back to Swardani City with Cheadle, Menchi couldn't sit still.

"Master, I want to go too!"

She opened her eyes wide and looked at Moses with pleading gaze.

Moses shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Menchi, there are no ingredients there that would tempt you."

"But…"

"During this time, I want you to stay here for meditation."

Moses interrupted Menchi's, and said solemnly: "When I come back, I will test your training results, so be mentally prepared."

"…"

Menchi realized that Moses couldn't take her with him, so she could only nod with a bitter expression.

Regarding the training methods of Ten and Ren, Moses had already taught Menchi on the airship before.

During this time, Moses originally planned to supervise Menchi's training from the side, or train together with Menchi.

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and now Menchi can only stay in Spice City alone.

However, there is Lisha taking care of Menchi here, so Moses didn't need to worry too much about her.

There were still a few months until the Hunter Exam, and Moses hopes that Menchi can make good use of this time to improve her Nen Skills.

It is best if she can develop her own Nen Ability before the Hunter Exam begins.

"Sister Lisha, I would like to ask you to supervise Menchi during this period."

Moses entrusted the responsibility of supervision to Lisha.

"Sure."

Lisha glanced at Menchi and nodded.

Menchi wanted to say something but held back.

After a while…

Lisha and Menchi arrived at the law firm's front door, watching Moses and Cheadle leave.

One hour later…

Moses and Cheadle boarded the airship heading to Swardani City.

"Have you figured out how to explain it?"

On the airship, Moses glanced at Cheadle, who was frowning in contemplation.

Upon hearing Moses's words, Cheadle raised her hand to push her glasses and said calmly: "A minor issue."

Moses had been invited by Pyon to join the response team and had played a significant role.

So now, even if he participated in the mission to capture Davidson as a non-Hunter Association's member, it is justifiable.

Moreover…

If necessary, Cheadle could reveal that Moses was the one who discovered the Swamp Man Phenomenon.

As for explaining the origin of the finger compass, simply stating that it was a Post-Mortem Object would suffice.

The only thing to consider is that Moses couldn't be too far from the finger compass.

Fortunately, there was a range of at least 500 meters. The maneuverable space is so large that there is no need to go out of their way to explain anything.

A few days later, the airship landed at Swardani City Airport.

After getting off the airship, Moses and Cheadle took a taxi and rushed to the Hunter Association's Headquarters without stopping.

Before arriving at Swardani City, Cheadle had already informed Netero about the finger compass and Moses's situation in advance.

At this moment, in Hunter Association's Headquarters, in Zodiac Twelve's Meeting Room.

In front of a rectangular table.

Netero sat on the main seat, while the other members of the Zodiac Twelve sat on both sides, and only two chairs were empty.

One is Ging's chair, and the other is Cheadle's chair.

"How long has it been since then? That Cheadle is too slow!"

Kanzai crossed his arms, looked up at the clock, and couldn't help but complain.

Pyon lay on the table, playing with her phone, and lazily said: "Compared to this, the Chairman actually arrived early. I still can't believe it."

"It probably has something to do with the second operation."

Mizaistom Nana looked at Netero, who was sitting on the main seat. The latter seemed oblivious to Mizaistom's gaze, holding a straw with his lips and enjoying himself.

The other Zodiac Twelve's members, led by Botobai, also looked at Netero.

The topic of this meeting was unclear, and the always late Netero had actually stayed in the meeting room early waiting for them to come.

It's so unusual.

However, they also tended to agree with Mizaistom's statement.

Recently, the only thing that could make Netero take on so seriously must be the matter of capturing Davison.

They wanted to ask Netero to reveal something, but after seeing Netero playing with a straw, they could only sigh secretly in their hearts and gave up the meaningless idea.

Among the Zodiac Twelve present, Pariston is the only one who seems to be indifferent from the incident.

He looked like an elementary school student, with his arms neatly resting on the table and a gentle smile on his face. He neither paid attention to Netero nor care about the upcoming meeting's topic.

Time passed slowly.

Faint footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Except for Netero and Pariston, everyone in the meeting room turned their attention towards the door.

Under their gaze, Cheadle pushed open the door and entered the meeting room.

To their surprise, Cheadle was followed by a young man.

'Kester??!'

Pyon, who always keeps her phone in her hand, suddenly let go of her phone after seeing Moses and, with his upper body raised, stared fixedly at Moses.

'No time, huh?'

'What's the meaning of this now?'

'Why did you come with Cheadle?'

Her eyes were like electric sparks, burning Moses continuously.

'Unexpected.'

Moses responded to Pyon with a look.

Pyon on the other hand, glared back, then put her small fist against her chest, and then waved her fist towards Moses.

'Is it because Cheadle older than me?'

'…'

Moses simply ignored her.

He didn't know why.

It was just eye contact, yet he could accurately receive the message the phone-addict girl wanted to convey.
