Kite has already had the intention to kill Menthuthuyoupi.
In the current situation, a dead royal guard is considered a good Chimera Ant.
He was decisive and very resolute; it was precisely because of this decisiveness that he had made it this far alone until now.
"I think it's best to imprison it first..."
Shoot beside him let out a heavy breath: "It's already in a Zetsu (Suppress/Null) state. I can use my Nen ability, Hotel Rafflesia, to seal it up..."
When used in combination with Knuckle's Nen ability, the two of them working together would yield excellent results.
Just like when facing Menthuthuyoupi, who had already been stripped of his aura, their teamwork had always been effective, and because of this cooperation, Shoot was influenced by Knuckle to avoid killing whenever possible.
Of course, he wasn't rigid about it. If there was an absolute need to go for a killing blow, he wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
"After sealing it, we'll bring it to Chairman Netero and follow his instructions..."
Shoot paused and glanced at Kite, whose bloodlust hadn't diminished in the slightest.
"Also, once we capture it, we can use it as leverage or a hostage."
"In case something goes wrong on other battlefields, or our companions are in danger..."
"If we have Menthuthuyoupi, we'll have the bargaining power to negotiate."
Hearing Shoot's words, Kite fell into brief silence, and then his bloodlust gradually began to subside.
Kite was focused on decisively completing the mission, while Shoot was more concerned with the safety of their companions.
These two different modes of thinking stemmed from their different backgrounds and experiences.
Morel watched the discussion of these young people, smacked his pipe, and did not express any opinions.
With his experience, he supported Kite's approach, but in terms of personality, he was more inclined to support Shoot.
He was willing to support both approaches and had no objection to whichever one they decided to go with.
In the end, it was Shoot who took the lead and stood in front of Menthuthuyoupi.
"You damned, annoying creature, you should have left this world a long time ago..."
Menthuthuyoupi was still shouting in a helpless, furious manner: "Give me my power back, you despicable bastards!!!"
Without his aura, he was like a toothless tiger... In fact, he was even weaker.
Now, he relied solely on his physical strength to cause some destruction, but it didn't cause any real harm.
Even Shoot, who wasn't particularly good at combat, stepped forward and knocked Menthuthuyoupi's head around with several blows.
He didn't give Menthuthuyoupi any time to recover or react and immediately used Hotel Rafflesia.
In no time, Menthuthuyoupi was sealed away inside.
"Now that it's done, the battle on our side is over."
Shoot let out a sigh of relief after finishing everything.
Knuckle, who had been lying flat on the ground in a relaxed manner, also stretched out, and even Kite loosened up his stance, making everything seem much more casual.
"Beep beep beep."
Morel took out his phone and pressed a few buttons.
Then, he looked at the reply on the screen and showed a satisfied smile: "Palm has been rescued, and we even captured a key hostage."
"The mission at Knov's side was also completed well..."
Morel gave everyone a brief report on the current situation.
Previously, when Knov rescued Palm, he hadn't sent out a report immediately since he didn't understand the situation inside the royal palace.
But now that Morel had gone to find him, Knov naturally reported the good news.
Everyone else also let out a sigh of relief after hearing that Palm was safe and sound.
There was nothing better than knowing that all their companions had made it out safely.
"And, apart from Palm..."
Morel continued looking at his phone: "Everything else is also pretty much settled..."
Ding dong.
As soon as Morel finished speaking, he received a message on his phone: "Gather at the guest room."
He didn't know which number had sent the message, but Morel knew it came from their team.
Most likely, it was from Lan or Ging.
"Let's go; it's time for the debriefing."
Morel put down his cigarette, patted his back, and stood up.
Morel was right; the moment their side had finished, Lan sensed the movement here through his Nen ability.
He sent Morel a text message, and not just him, even Knov, who was in the four-level mansion, received the same message.
As for why they could receive signals even in that different space, don't ask; just know that it was because of Ging's high level of technology.
Thanks to Ging's mobile phone, everyone in the Chimera Ant Extermination Team received the message and quickly gathered at the same location.
"Looks like this operation has been a complete success and is coming to an end."
Lan glanced around and nodded in satisfaction.
Everyone in the Chimera Ant Extermination Team looked at everyone, especially Gon.
He widened his eyes and looked around, and after nearly drying his eyes from scanning every corner, he was forced to realize one thing: "Ging... He's still not here..."
Gon couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed and lowered his head.
Despite Ging's promise to meet him again in the future, it didn't change Gon's desire to see him right now.
