A mission requiring the participation of at least six Zodiacs' members-
Moreover, this order was personally issued by the Chairman.
In Beans's understanding, something like this had never happened before.
What's more, the mission's target was another member of the Zodiacs-
Monkey, Moses Isaac!
Beans's first reaction was that the Chairman was joking.
But judging from Netero's demeanor, not only did it not seem like a joke, but he was also dead serious.
"Chairman…"
Beans's eyes shifted away from the paper again and turned to look at Netero on the hospital bed, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Netero slowly suppressed his smile and nodded at Beans.
This directive-
Might very well be the last one he would issue in his lifetime, so how could he possibly joke about it?
And for Netero,
This directive…
Was also a personal test he had set for Moses.
"Okay."
Turning his head to look at the quiet night outside the window, Netero's eyes showed none of the lifelessness typical of old age. Instead, they were filled with anticipation for a certain future.
He was looking forward to the life-and-death duel with Beyond, and he was also looking forward to the future of the 'fresh blood'.
Beans understood that Netero took this matter very seriously, so he could only silently tighten his grip on the paper.
He needs to convey this mission directive to the other members of Zodiacs except Moses tomorrow.
The minimum required number of participants was six.
The response requirement was voluntary.
The mission content is-
On September 9th, to restrain or control the Zodiacs' member, Monkey, Moses Isaac, by any means necessary.
As for the mission rank…
Without a doubt, it was A-Level!
And September 9th was the day Netero and Beyond would engage in their life-and-death duel.
Beans slowly let go of the paper.
'Why would Chairman issue such an order?'
'Was he worried that Mr. Moses would disrupt this duel?'
'But before Mr. Moses left last time, he had clearly expressed his respect for Chairman's wishes and choices...'
'So why would the Chairman go out of his way to do this?'
Beans didn't understand.
He wanted to get to the bottom of it, but he was afraid that his behavior might have overstepped his bounds.
"Sigh…"
In the end, he could only sigh and think about passing this mission directive to the other members of the Zodiacs first.
After all, the mission's content was only to restrain Moses.
Though it was officially classified as the highest mission rank, when it comes to actual implementation, at least there is no need to worry about casualties.
This was pretty much the only thing Beans could find optimism in.
…
"September 9th…?"
In the Kakin Empire, inside a magnificent and grandiose palace, the pot-bellied Nasubi Hui Guo Rou raised his hand to support his cheek and looked down at the stairs under the throne with eyes as calm as water.
Beyond's awakening, and his decision to finally commit to the act of 'patricide' for the sake of his grand ambitions...
This behavior earned Beyond's approval.
In Nasubi's opinion, those who achieved great things should be unconstrained by trivialities, spare no cost, and stop at nothing.
Thus, Nasubi did not mind satisfying Beyond's wishes on this matter and halted further assassination attempts on Netero.
Originally, Nasubi had planned to spend a huge amount of money to hire top-tier assassins, and then use the method of Post-Mortem Nen Curse to assist them.
With both approaches combined, he didn't think Netero, in his current state, would be able to survive.
Now that Beyond had formally challenged Netero to a duel, there is no need for Nasubi to get involved anymore.
This life-and-death duel-
Though it hadn't yet begun, Nasubi was already certain that Beyond would be the victor.
And what he needed to do now was wait.
Wait for Beyond's victory, wait for the right moment to officially announce the 'New World Exploration Plan', wait for the moment when tens of thousands of sacrificial offerings would willingly gather into the Seed Urn...
Nasubi's eyes were deep and he couldn't wait any longer.
But it was almost time.
At least for this period of time, he was willing to wait.
'My name will be written in the most prominent place in history.'
'The Kakin Empire will usher in its most prosperous moment in my hands.'
'I will become…'
'The first of my kind, with no predecessors and no successors!'
Nasubi slowly raised his eyes and looked towards the palace dome that was adorned with a myriad of gorgeous decorations.
Behind him, there was an Aura that distorted the space.
It was his Guardian Spirit Beast, a semi-humanoid Nen Beast with distinct female features.
Perhaps influenced by Nasubi's thoughts, the Guardian Spirit Beast at this time showed intense emotional fluctuations.
If Nasubi were to visit his harem for intercourse at this moment, he would undoubtedly impregnate his concubines, and there is a high probability that a fetus with strong talents will be born.
Reproduction.
This was one of the abilities of Nasubi's Guardian Spirit Beast.
And this ability aligned with Nasubi's views and values on certain matters.
In Nasubi's opinion, only the inheritance of sufficiently superior genes could sustain the long-term continuation of the Kakin Empire.
By leveraging the Seed Urn left behind by his ancestors, which held the potential to bring prosperity to the Kakin Empire, he rooted his philosophy into the lineage's heritage.
Then, the Kakin Empire will surely last for thousands of years!
As Nasubi's desire intensified, the semi-humanoid Nen Beast, with its spider-like limbs and twelve pairs of female breasts features, grew increasingly excited.
…
Anyone who knows the situation is waiting for the arrival of September 9th.
However, aside from Moses, all the other Zodiacs' members received a message from Beans.
To be more precise, it was a special directive issued by Netero.
In a barbecue restaurant in Swardani City.
Kanzai picked up his phone with his greasy right hand and saw the message Beans had sent.
"What the heck???"
Seeing that the mission's content was to restrain Moses and required at least six Zodiacs' members to participate, Kanzai was confused at first, and then shocked.
"Why would Chairman issue such an order?!"
Kanzai was afraid he had misread it, so he read it a few more times.
But the directive was indeed about dealing with Moses, and the mission rank was set at the relatively rare A-level!
More importantly-
This special directive was personally issued by Netero himself.
In Kanzai's entire tenure as a Pro Hunter, he had never encountered anything like this.
And because the target of the directive was Moses, Kanzai's first reaction wasn't to consider whether to accept it, but to wonder why Netero would issue such an order.
While Kanzai was still struggling with this, the other members of the Zodiacs in different locations also received the same special directive from Netero.
