Conrad took a ticket to the Rokario Republic.
This place and the country were the first places that Gon and Killua met with Palm and Knuckle and Shoot.
It was a country that was in the Mitene Union and bordered by NGL and the Republic of Hass.
It was an interesting place for Conrad, as in the end, it was so close to the NGL, Gyro, and the future events of the Chimera Incident and everything.
"In the end, I am not going there for the reasons that do not concern me."
"I am going there to deal with my own purposes."
Conrad believed that just because he was in the Hunter x Hunter world, it did not mean that he needed to follow the storyline.
He is his own person; he has his own purposes and wishes in the world.
Why would he need to be friends with the original characters and move with them? He would not avoid them too much but would not go their way if the situations do not demand it.
"In the end, if I were to meet with Gon and Killua, or any other characters."
"What I would say and move may change everything."
"My best advantage in terms of future understanding is that I know what would happen as long as I do not touch the original storyline."
"Second that I start to mess with it, everything may change, and I would lose my advantage."
"Not that I would need such an advantage."
Conrad thought as he boarded the airship.
After he placed his belongings, he left the passenger area and started walking.
Now that he does not have much of a money problem, he prefers to buy high-level airship tickets, where passengers are given booze, food, and many other necessities.
The airships in the world of Hunter x Hunter are much more luxurious than all the airplanes in the world.
Of course, they were much slower, but that is acceptable for him.
Conrad sat down in front of a window with a great cocktail from the bar and watched the surroundings as he drank.
"The first part of the creational condition involves spending time in a poisonous environment."
"It would be great if I were to buy some antidotes for poisons."
"Spending time in the environment does not mean that I should resist the poison."
Conrad wanted to go step by step.
First clear the conditions of the first creational condition and then work for the second one.
The second one was more of a mission than just training.
When he finishes these missions, he should have enough merit to reach the star-level hunter.
He may even have two stars in the future.
He did not care about the stars much, but it was still okay for him to aim for the stars.
In the end, what he does affects the stars; it is not like he needs to do something that he does not want to get the stars.
While he watched, he noticed a woman that came to her side. One look at the woman, Conrad could tell that she did not sit close to him just because of a coincidence.
The woman was red-haired, tall, and wearing a black dress with a gray-colored jacket to cover her back.
She looked at Conrad for a moment and then said it.
"Hi."
Conrad smiled and nodded.
"May I know your name? I am bored."
"There are not many people that fit my taste to talk to at the very least."
Conrad grinned and then said it.
"I am not a clown, you know," he said.
The woman did not seem to have a problem with the demeanor of Conrad. Which made Conrad more suspicious.
A beautiful young woman who is accustomed to high-level societies is used to getting hit on by all types of men and women together.
It would take a really capable woman to not get involved in these types of situationships and have her ego stay in a down-to-earth position.
For a woman to not care that Conrad is not giving her the attention she seeks, she is used to something not to be expected.
At least rare.
"It seems like you are not a person that would like to be bothered."
Conrad said nothing again and just kept on drinking from his cocktail.
"I will leave you to be alone then," the woman then added and then left the general bar area.
Conrad closed his eyes for a moment and then said to himself:
"I can only hope that there is no idiotic group of enemies in this airship trying to hunt me down."
Conrad did not forget about the events that he was taken against in the Matilda Kingdom.
Light Upon Us lost all their members, and they have no real capability to take revenge on him.
The Herivo Mafia family and the Mafia already did not care about him anymore.
If there is a power that may try to take revenge, it is the Matilda Kingdom.
"I mean."
"It would be fun at the very least," Conrad thought.
The reason for not answering the woman and not trying to talk to her much is not that complex.
There are a number of new abilities that may involve interaction with the target.
He remembers that there was a woman called Baise, a manipulator who was a Nostrade family bodyguard.
She had a manipulator ability called "Instant Lover." When she kisses an individual, she takes control of them for about 180 minutes.
Conrad did not want a similar thing to happen to him.
As he thought, he smiled as he noticed a relatively young man in the corner who entered the bar.
For a moment, the young man made an amateur mistake of side-looking at himself; it is subtle and hard to notice, but at this stage, Conrad would not miss something like that at all.
"Oh..."
"It seems I was right, and there will be a fun event in this airship."
"I can just think of it as an experience, I guess."
