As Conrad was in his room and training, he saw the message from Elena and called her.
"What is it?" he asked.
Elena spoke.
"A friend of mine, higher up in the Hunter Association, would like to meet you about a private matter."
Conrad thought for a moment and asked.
"What is the name of this friend of yours?"
Elena smiled and answered.
"It is Mizaistom Nana."
Conrad stopped for a moment and then took a deep breath.
Of course, he knew about Mizaistom. One of the managers of the Hunter Association and a member of the Zodiac.
It would be pretty weird for him to not know such an individual.
"I think I can find time." Conrad said after some silence.
Elena nodded.
"Good."
"The meeting should be in Swardani City, Hunter Association Headquarters."
"Be here in two days."
"I will be giving you his phone number; call it when you arrive."
"He should be arranging the time."
Conrad listened and then smiled.
"Okay."
"Thank you," he said, and then he put the phone on the table.
About ten minutes later, Elena sent him the phone number of Mizaistom.
"I wonder what he wants." Conrad could not help but think.
In the series, it was not much explored, but the authority of a Zodiac member is only second to the vice chairman and the chairman of the Hunter Association.
It is also known that Mizaistom himself has a private security company, which means that he should have numbers of NEN users under himself.
"I do not think he has any ill intentions."
"From what I know, he seemed to be a relatively okay man."
"He is a lawyer too." Conrad thought about everything he knew about the guy and then sat down on his computer and checked for tickets to Swardani City."
Not long after, he prepared everything and then kept on training and spending time.
-
Two days later, Conrad arrived at the city in the morning and looked around as he nodded.
"A big city."
"Great and technologically advanced too."
"Similar to Yorknew City."
Conrad believed the city was great and advanced due to the fact that it is known to be housing the headquarters of the Hunter Association.
When a city houses such a big organization, it is only to be expected that the city too would be improved and have more funding to improve the area in general.
He then hired a taxi and asked him to go to headquarters, and then two hours later, he arrived at the door of the big building with the Hunter Association symbol on the top of it.
"I am now standing at the same place where Ging first revealed himself with other Zodiacs."
Conrad then called the phone number.
"Hello?"
Conrad spoke.
"I am Conrad Everest. Am I speaking to Mizaistom?"
Mizaistom then nodded.
"Oh, yes."
"You have arrived, I presume?"
Conrad spoke.
"Yes, I am the headquarters building."
Mizaistom smiled.
"Great."
"I will be coming down to meet with you."
Conrad then waited for the man to arrive. In five minutes, the man arrived alone.
Conrad then saw him for the first time with his own eyes.
"He looks exactly the same as in the anime."
"But the air he gives off, mastery of nen, intelligent eyes, and charisma."
"All different and easy to see in this real life."
"I can see why Zodiacs are powerful."
"It is more than likely that this man can give me a great fight and would be able to take me on without any problem."
"But of course, in my state, it is really hard to decide on who would win if we were to fight."
"I know his ability but not the category of it."
Conrad made comments within his mind, and then Mizaistom came to the side of him and nodded.
"Thank you for arriving in such a short time."
Conrad nodded.
"It is not a problem," he said.
Mizaistom nodded.
"Please, follow me."
"We can go to a meeting room and then talk there."
Conrad nodded and followed Mizaistom to the building and then went to the elevator.
In no time, they arrived in a small meeting room.
"Would you like anything?"
Mizaistom asked.
"A beer would be fine," Conrad said, smiling.
Mizaistom nodded.
He used to phone in the room to order a beer and a coffee and sat down again.
"The reason I called you is because I am in need of the assistance of a NEN user with strong combat capabilities and high individual combat power."
"Now, I am going to tell you some things that are very secret and only known to some nen users and high-level people."
"You should not make it known to others..."
Conrad nodded and let the man speak. He knew it must not be only about this; if Mizaistom wanted a strong fighter and a Nen user, he could find it easily.
Mizaistom then added.
"On an unnamed island, in the south, there is a place called the Monist Research Facility."
"In this research facility, some sort of a new product is stolen by a crime group called Light Upon Us."
"I know it sounds weird, but honor me."
Conrad nodded and kept on listening. Truth to be told, he did not know anything about this research facility or Light Upon Us.
What a weird name for an organization or a group.
Mizaistom then continued.
"This new product is capable of enhancing the human body for some short duration."
"The formula was secret, and the product is the prototype."
"The people who stole it can easily find a buyer and then sell it to them to make more than fifty billion yen..."
Conrad thought for a moment and then said it.
"Those buyers then can use the prototype and the formula to enhance their men and then wreak havoc on battlefields or slums."
Mizaistom nodded.
"Yeah."
"The name for the drug is 'P-100.'"
"I can also tell you that the drug and its secret have some sort of connection to other places."
"If you know what I mean by that."
"Other Place." Conrad murmured and nodded.
"Why me?" Conrad then asked.
Mizaistom nodded and got up as he spoke.
"I was the one who gave you the mission about the Matilda Kingdom."
"Your performance and actions impressed me greatly."
Conrad thought again and then.
"Let's discuss details then."
