After Netero mentioned his intention to resign as the chairman of the Hunter Association, the joy of completing the extermination task was somewhat dampened.
Old hunters like Morel and Knov knew very well what would happen after Netero made this announcement.
To put it bluntly, this would cause an immense upheaval, even shaking the entire world and altering the overall situation.
Although the Hunter Association was a civilian organization supported by V5, in reality, even the real leaders of V5 would not dare to let the hunters within the association roam the world recklessly without any constraints.
In the end, besides the civilians, those at the top of the hierarchy would eventually be affected if they spread chaos.
This is why the stability of the Hunter Association was crucial. If Netero resigned as chairman, the focus of the world would immediately shift to the election of his successor.
Morel and Knov, feeling the impending turmoil and chaos, left with heavy hearts.
Meanwhile, Knuckle and Shoot, after experiencing this event, began to reflect once again on the differences between species.
They were eager to continue exploring the world's more unusual animals and learning about the diversity of species.
As for the Hunter Association, if it indeed faced future unrest, they could return when needed.
"I plan to head back to the Kakin Empire first and join my companions to await orders..."
Kite also bid farewell to Gon and Killua. His companions were still in the nearby country, waiting to report after the mission concluded.
"Monta Yuras and the others plan to accumulate achievements and take the next round of the Hunter Exam, hoping to pass."
Well, the next round, that is, the Hunter Exam next year, according to this situation… It will be very difficult at that time…
The Kakin Royal Family was about to officially step onto the global stage and capture everyone's attention. By then, many factions, including the Hunter Association, would undergo significant changes.
Gon and Killua couldn't see that far ahead, and besides, it didn't concern them much.
After a good talk with Kite, they asked him to convey their words to Monta Yuras and the others before leaving.
Of course, Kite also asked Gon to say a word for him to Ging when they met.
As for the extermination task, Morel and Knov, being seasoned veterans, would take care of it.
They were well-acquainted with many departments within the Hunter Association and the complex dynamics between them. They would smoothly complete the task, and the rewards would be fought for on behalf of others.
Gon and Killua didn't care much about that. Right now, what concerned them was Ging Freecss and…
"I think I'll head home first."
Killua suddenly spoke, his hands in his pockets.
"Huh?!"
Gon, still full of excitement, froze for a moment. "Why, Killua?!"
"Weren't we supposed to go meet Ging together?"
Gon grew a bit anxious. "I want to introduce you to Ging and tell him you're my best friend..."
"I know."
Killua pressed his hands down and looked at Gon's smiling face. "I understand your feelings."
"But, without your father's permission, for me to go meet him casually..."
"For me, that would be impolite and would offend your father."
"But..."
"You wouldn't want your father to think that your best friend is an impolite guy, would you?"
"That's different!"
Gon insisted: "I have to introduce you to Ging!!"
"I believe you..."
Killua smiled, placing his hands behind his head. "And I really do want to meet your father and see what he's like."
"Then you..."
"However, we'll wait until you've met your father first before we talk about other things."
When Gon wanted to say more, Killua simply waved his hand and smiled.
"You and your father can meet first. We'll talk later... There will be opportunities in the future."
Well, lying is not something that people who don't understand the world do.
At first, he didn't know much about Ging Freecss, so he still wanted to meet him with Gon.
But later, through what he learned from Kite and Morel, Killua came to realize that Ging Freecss might be a very awkward and stubborn person.
If it was just Gon, it would be fine, but adding another person would probably make Ging uncomfortable.
Killua understood that by tagging along, he might even disrupt the meeting between Gon and Ging. Moreover, Gon's father, Ging Freecss, might already be secretly planning to separate him from Gon.
Instead of being subtly pushed aside by Ging, Killua figured it would be better to leave on his own accord, thus leaving a good impression.
Besides, there was still something important awaiting him back at home.
"I have an important matter that I need to take care of back at home."
Killua said seriously to Gon. "And there's someone very important to me waiting at home."
"After you meet your father, I'll bring that important person, and we'll meet again."
"Then, we can talk about your reunion story!!"
After the silver needle in Killua's mind was removed, he clearly recalled his sealed memories.
His family had deliberately arranged for him to forget certain memories.
More specifically, they wanted him to forget one particular person.
His younger sister, who he had grown up with, Alluka Zoldyck…
