The possibility of extracting information about the mastermind from the assassins was very low.
However, for Cheadle to co all this way specifically ant they had managed to obtain relatively important intelligence.
"What intelligence?"
Law sat down on the sofa, looking directly at Cheadle.
Salin and the others were not far away, each occupied with their own tasks, not paying attention to this side.
"It was soone from the military who commissioned the Blackstone Family, but it's unclear exactly who," Cheadle said.
"The military of which country?"
"There's only one country on the Azian Continent," Cheadle replied seriously.
"Kakin Empire," Law interjected.
Among the Six Continents, only the Azian Continent was unique, with just one major country across the entire landmass, unlike the other continents which had nurous large and small nations.
Like a Gu Insect, through countless years and wars, it stood out from countless countries to beco the sole empire… that was the Kakin Empire.
So, why would a military figure from the Kakin Empire commission the Blackstone Family to assassinate Netero?
Lacking key information, Cheadle absolutely could not guess the reason.
But Law was different. Pariston had revealed so information to him before, so in an instant, he connected many things.
For a while, neither spoke, sinking into silence.
Law knew so things, but he did not intend to tell Cheadle.
"Regarding Netero's matter, which side currently has the advantage?" After the silence, Law directly changed the subject.
"The hawkish faction."
Cheadle had always felt that Law directly using Netero's na was disrespectful, but over ti, she got used to it.
"Is that so."
Law pondered for a mont, then said, "The Blackstone Family caused quite a commotion that night. Perhaps you can use this incident to attack the hawkish faction and gain an advantage."
"You an framing them?"
"Correct."
"Since the assassin incident has nothing to do with the hawkish faction, using such thods against them seems rather unscrupulous," Cheadle shook her head.
Law imdiately looked at Cheadle with a strange expression, beginning to doubt whether Cheadle could actually help Netero in this matter. After all, an attitude of strict impartiality wasn't suitable here.
Nevertheless, he felt that this sowhat rigid character trait had its own comndable aspects, so he had no intention of trying to persuade Cheadle.
"The decision is in your hands. In short, if there's any area where you need my help, just let know."
Law adjusted his expression and offered Cheadle a faint smile.
Cheadle noticed the shift in Law's eyes. Her mind was always sharp, and she seed to sense the reason for Law's brief change in attitude. Then, hearing Law's assurance, she was montarily speechless.
This feeling was strange, as if Law had generously patted her shoulder, indicating she could freely rely on him.
But having Law, this powerful ally, offer his help was a situation every mber of the moderate faction would be happy to see.
"Thank you very much," Cheadle expressed her gratitude.
Law also didn't stand on ceremony, straightforwardly accepting the gratitude of a Triple-Star Hunter.
Every Star Hunter was a precious connection… making efforts to maintain good relations could only be beneficial.
After seeing Cheadle off, Law suddenly found himself with free ti. Rembering he had been at the association for a while but hadn't visited Sanbica yet, he sent her a text ssage.
At this ti, Sanbica was probably working, and her phone would be in the changing room. She likely wouldn't see his ssage.
The day passed quickly. Law didn't pay attention to the internal situation of the Association, and Cheadle didn't bring any news either. Everything seed calm.
For now, Law wasn't clear on how he could help in this incident. In another two days, he would leave here, head to Whale Island to et up with Ging, and wait there for Beyond's arrival.
Of course, if sothing ca up, he would rush back imdiately.
That evening, Knov suddenly visited.
He wasn't alone, he ca with Nique.
Welcoming Knov and Nique inside, Law invited them to sit on the sofa.
After sitting down himself, Law smiled at Nique as if looking at a laborer.
If Tonpa were here, he'd probably feel deep pity for Nique, as if seeing his forr self.
Feeling Law's gaze, Nique felt his heart was bleeding.
"You'll stay here for now. That's decided."
Law directly settled Nique's stay without giving him any chance to object.
Circumstances were stronger than the individual. Nique could only submit and obediently keep his head down.
"Knov, are you interested in the Dark Continent?" Law suddenly turned to Knov and posed the question.
Knov was taken aback. The question was too sudden, leaving him unable to answer imdiately.
Regarding the Dark Continent, he only had partial information. To say he was interested felt sowhat forced, but to say he wasn't interested... he was indeed a bit curious about the Dark Continent.
Seeing Knov seed to be hesitating over how to answer, a smile appeared on Law's face.
In his view, aside from directly stating disinterest, any other reaction indicated interest.
"Co with , to the Dark Continent!"
Not giving Knov any ti to think, Law directly extended his hand towards him.
Knov's eyes slowly widened, as if bright light was radiating from behind Law.
'Following Law to the Dark Continent... Why... couldn't I refuse?!'
"Okay."
Without really understanding why he was going to the Dark Continent, Knov agreed just like that.
Seeing Knov agree, Law's eyes lit up, and he even stood up excitedly.
The sudden movent startled both Nique and Knov.
"That's fantastic! Your Nen Ability is unique. With you, the success rate of exploring the Dark Continent would increase by at least fifty percent," Law stared intently at Knov, his tone full of excitent.
Seeing Law get so excited because of his ability, in that mont, Knov seed to have found a reason to go to the Dark Continent.
His Nen Ability was unique and possessed unparalleled importance for exploring the Dark Continent. Most importantly, he could follow Law.
Nique stayed at the Lawlin Museum, while Knov left after half an hour.
Honestly, Law hadn't expected Knov to agree so easily, given the terrifyingly high danger level of the Dark Continent.
Now with Knov joining, as long as Ging could persuade Shiro to join, the frawork of the logistics system would be basically established. What was lacking afterwards would be a toxin antibody expert.
Once the logistics system was perfected, exploring the Dark Continent would beco much easier.
Law handed Nique over to Sabro. The latter was practically beaming, feeling like he'd found a laborer.
Afterwards, Law returned to his room to be with Machi.
Not long after, a call from Ickshonpe made Law leave the room to find Kurapika.
Ickshonpe had already identified who the holder of the final batch of Scarlet Eyes was.
The Fourth Prince of the Kakin Empire… Tserriednich.
The intelligence Ickshonpe brought included a photograph.
Law was hesitating whether to show this photograph to Kurapika.
Moreover, the fact that the final batch of eyes was with the Fourth Prince of the Kakin Empire felt too coincidental. Several lines were converging on the Kakin Empire.
Sending assassins.
Beyond's partner.
And finally, the eyes.
