People from the V5 Restricted Voyage Agencies came to Netero, wanting to investigate whether the Hunter Association had recently been involved in any illegal crossings.
Someone had reported that something suspected to have come from the Dark Continent had appeared within the Hunter Association.
Naturally, Netero flatly denied it. The two sides wrangled back and forth for some time, and in the end, because V5 truly could not produce any evidence, the matter was dropped.
However, Netero remained one of their key targets of attention, because according to the information they had gathered, Netero did indeed have something extremely unusual in his hands.
During the period when Netero and V5 were busy arguing, Pariston made quite a few small moves inside the Hunter Association.
Roy took some time to check on Milluki's condition. The custom weighted turtle shell was working very well. Milluki had clearly slimmed down now, and his skin had turned tanned.
Roy was quite satisfied with Milluki's transformation. The look in Milluki's eyes had also clearly become much steadier and more determined, and his physical fitness was much stronger than before.
Then, in order to make Milluki's weight-loss results faster and better, Roy specially brought out his exclusive temptation again.
"Milluki, I'll draw a brand-new manga. Its name will be Attack on Titan. There's a captain character in it called Levi."
As Roy tempted him like this, he took out some draft pages.
After Milluki took the manuscripts with his already darkened hands, he realized that this captain called Levi dressed very similarly to how he himself had dressed back when he was young and not fat.
"Roy nii-san!"
Milluki looked at Roy excitedly, while Roy smiled and nodded at him.
"Levi and Milluki. Don't you hear the similarity in the pronunciation of those two names?"
It was quite strange, but in the Hunter world, the Hunter-language pronunciations of "Milluki" and "Levi" were extremely close. They were practically homophones.
"Because you're a member of the Zoldyck family, your real name can't be revealed, so I used the name Levi instead. You understand what I mean, right?"
"I understand! I understand!"
Right now, Milluki's mind was completely filled with one thought: he was going to become a character in Roy nii-san's new manga. He was so excited! So happy!
Looking at Milluki's dazed expression, Roy could not help but grin wildly.
This move worked on otaku, so naturally, it was very effective on Milluki too. With the motivation of becoming a character in the new manga, Milluki would definitely work even harder to lose weight.
Roy left a bit of Black-White Fish and Seven-Treasures Glass Wine with the Four Bodies Technique clone that had stayed behind to supervise Milluki's training, so they could be used to strengthen Milluki's body.
With the support of these things, Milluki's training speed would definitely increase greatly.
After Roy became completely reassured about Milluki, he returned to Greed Island once again.
However, Ging had already left by then. In his own words, he was not someone who would stop and remain trapped by the past.
Fine. As the wanderer among the Zodiacs, and an idiot who did whatever he wanted, Ging was indeed a carefree and uninhibited person.
However, Roy still had something he wanted to find him for, so he directly used Instant Transmission and brought Ging, who was looking at him with dead-fish eyes and a stifled, aggrieved expression, back to Limeiro Castle again.
Ging felt utterly helpless toward Roy's Instant Transmission. If Roy had not threatened him by saying he would directly use Instant Transmission to bring Gon and his friends right in front of him, Ging would have flipped the table in anger long ago.
Roy, Ging, and Dwun had a proper discussion about the development of the Dragon Ball League game.
With the worldview and influence of Dragon Ball, Roy believed this game would absolutely be successful.
Ging was extremely interested in games. The moment the topic of game development came up, he became as happy as a child and talked nonstop, having long since thrown the previous matter to the back of his mind.
He was very pleasantly surprised by the MOBA-style game Roy proposed. He had never expected that games could be played in such a way!
So, after discussing it with Dwun for a while, Ging hurriedly left to find his companions and explore the feasibility of this matter.
Next, Roy relaxed a little and played Greed Island for a while. Aside from Razor's Plot of Beach, which he still had no way to obtain, he had basically acquired everything else.
Even some ambitious people were starting to lose patience and wanted to stir up trouble.
For example, Genthru and his Bomber trio.
They were faintly preparing to make their move ahead of time, but it was useless. Roy alone held card number 001, Patch of Forest. Without that card, they could not clear the game.
After that, Roy received a message from Linne about a new cooking method for Black-White Fish.
Naturally, Roy rushed over immediately. When he saw Linne again, she no longer had that lifeless air from before. In its place was a vigorous, spirited feeling.
When Izuk placed the newly prepared fish dishes in front of Roy, Roy was startled.
There were not many new dishes, four in total.
The familiar hand-pressed sushi, sashimi sliced as thin as cicada wings, smoked fish marinated with all kinds of seasonings, and a fish soup prepared together with Seven-Treasures Glass Wine.
Three dishes and one soup. Smelling the aroma that was different from the fragrance released by simple grilling alone, Roy felt deeply moved. As expected of a professional Gourmet Hunter, she could create so many different variations.
Linne's aged and hoarse voice sounded, but her tone was clearly much lighter than before.
Roy nodded, indicating that Linne was right.
"Then have a proper taste of this old woman's cooking. Eat as much as you like. I've already prepared Netero's portion."
As Linne spoke, Izuk, who was beside her, stepped forward carrying a lunch box.
"In that case, I won't hold back."
As he spoke, Roy picked up the chopsticks and carefully tasted every fish dish.
Linne truly deserved to be called a top-class Gourmet Hunter. These four dishes were so delicious that Roy nearly bit off his own tongue. The flavor was simply amazing.
And Linne was completely right. Seven-Treasures Glass Wine and Black-White Fish did indeed have a mutually enhancing effect.
After Roy drank the last of the fish soup, he could clearly feel the movement speed of the Ki inside his body increase a little. It was equivalent to greatly enhancing his cultivation speed.
