Act Of Filial Piety

This time, the Chimera Ant incident was part of Beyond's plan.

According to Beyond's original design, with Netero's character, once he learned of the Ant King's existence.

As someone who sought opponents, he would surely want to face the other party in battle.

At that point, the script would have already played out as Beyond had planned.

If Netero had won, it would have been a brutal victory, perhaps a mutual destruction.

At that time, Netero would have needed to focus entirely on healing, leaving him with no energy to hinder the exploration of the Dark Continent.

If Netero had lost, the worst outcome would have been dying at the hands of the Ant King.

Naturally, Beyond's objective would be directly achieved, and that would be the end of it.

Even if Netero survived after losing, he would lose all his spirit and resign from the position of chairman of the Hunter Association, just as Beyond had anticipated.

After all, the most powerful Nen user in the world would have no equal.

If he lost in the battle, that title and status would crumble.

Netero would then follow the current trends, withdrawing from an era that no longer belonged to him.

He would become a remnant of the old era, and the new era wouldn't have a place for him.

The Kakin Empire had long been ready to rise, and the Black Whale ship that was about to set sail had no position for Netero.

"So, rest easy, your majesty..."

Beyond said, hands tucked into his sleeves, standing proudly.

"Once the new chairman of the Hunter Association is elected, that's when we'll begin our plan."

Beyond directly gave the king a clear timeline.

"Is that so?"

The king slightly lifted his eyes: "You seem very confident about the Hunter Association changing its chairman?"

"Of course!"

Beyond grinned: "I know that old man better than anyone!"

Well, Netero, the chairman, was his biological father, so naturally, as his son, Beyond had thoroughly studied and understood his father.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have formulated the plan to bring the Chimera Ants from the Dark Continent to the six continents.

This action was a huge act of filial piety, one that could almost be said to kill Netero with kindness.

Of course, Beyond didn't place much importance on family ties.

He had many offspring in the Kakin Empire.

Beyond first found a young senior soldier in the Kakin Empire and then arranged a fake marriage for him.

And this was not a one-time thing; Beyond had many illegitimate children in this world.

Beyond would have his children raised by these soldiers and their wives as if they were their own, then send them to the Royal Military Academy.

It was expected that whenever a new prince was born, such events would occur.

Eventually, Beyond's illegitimate children would become personal bodyguards to the prince.

The majority of them had awakened Nen's abilities.

Unless something extraordinary occurred, Beyond's main goal was to secure the most important position close to the next king.

He was willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goal.

Whether it was his biological son or father, he could be indifferent to all emotions.

Everything that followed was progressing exactly as Beyond had planned.

The news about the powerful unknown creature from an unknown location, which nearly destroyed a country, began to spread.

The V5, unable to suppress it, started secretly investigating the source of the news.

Originally, the Kakin Empire was one of their primary targets.

However, at this moment, the remnants of the Chimera Ant, led by Zazan, were invading the Kakin Empire.

This somewhat helped clear the Kakin Empire's name of suspicion.

As for how to deal with these remaining Chimera Ants…

"Aren't the Phantom Troupe also causing trouble in our country?"

Beyond scratched his nose with his pinky finger: "Let them deal with each other. Isn't that fine?"

He smiled at the king: "I believe this should be easy for Your Majesty to guide, right?"

For Nasubi Hui Guo Rou, this wasn't much of a challenge.

Even though the Phantom Troupe was a group of dangerous criminals with strong Nen abilities and high IQ. However, that group of Chimera Ants is not a smart guy.

It would be very easy for Nasubi Hui Guo Rou to provoke them and guide them into fighting the Phantom Troupe.

It was like letting two groups of dogs fight each other.

Meanwhile, while the Kakin Empire and Beyond were pushing forward with their plans.

On the other side, Lan, along with Gon and Chairman Netero's group, returned to the Hunter Association.

As soon as they arrived, Mr. Beans hurriedly came running to greet them, presenting a big surprise.

"You, what did you just say?!"

Mr. Beans, panting and barely catching his breath, looked stunned.

"Chairman, I think I just misheard or didn't catch it properly..."

"Hohoho, you didn't mishear it."

Netero chuckled while stroking his beard.

"I've decided to resign from the position of chairman of the Hunter Association."

"This return is mainly for the handover of duties."

With that, Netero waved his hand.

"Alright, go gather the people and prepare for a meeting!"

"This might be the last time I host a meeting, hohoho!"
