I didn't expect the benefits of a Two-Star Hunter to be this abundant!
If a One-Star Hunter is considered comfortably well-off, with no worries for the rest of their life, then a Two-Star Hunter steps directly into the billionaire class, the kind where no further effort is needed.
Every month, one can receive a generous stipend from the Association, and the price to pay is also incredibly light—rely responding when the Association needs a favor.
"According to the Pro Hunter Handbook, doesn't promoting to a Two-Star Hunter require completing relevant commissions and eting seniority requirents? I don't seem to have reached that yet."
Riku was sowhat surprised.
"Special cases require special handling. This is sothing I, this old man, specifically permitted. I am the Chairman of the Association, after all; if I couldn't even manage this little thing, wouldn't my title be for nothing? Don't worry, this license of yours is absolutely genuine, and with your strength, you are completely qualified to be a Two-Star Hunter."
"I am rely handing this over to you ahead of ti, that's all."
Netero chuckled endlessly.
"Oh, then I thank the Chairman for your kindness. Since it's sothing given to , I won't hold back."
Riku had no intention of being polite. After all, this Two-Star Hunter License was equivalent to a bound identity, impossible to lose, and it ca with all sorts of benefits all over the world.
It would be a waste not to use it. It would make things much more convenient for him in the future, as its authority was much greater than a regular Hunter License.
"No need to be polite. By the way, young friend Riku, what is the deal with your lightning ability?"
Netero's face blood into a smile, but his words left Beans completely bewildered.
What lightning? What Riku lightning?
How did he not know? He was the statistician responsible for all candidate data.
Right now, he was worrying about how to help Chairman Netero gloss over this. After all, those guys at the V5 were constantly glaring at the Chairman like tigers watching their prey, wanting to find dirt on him to force him to step down.
Issuing a Two-Star Hunter License without reason and abusing authority—although this wasn't enough to make Chairman Netero step down, it would absolutely cause him no small amount of pressure.
"This young friend Riku is none other than Examiner Kenpachi! Hahahaha, young friend, why don't you let Beans-kun take a look, otherwise he's going to keep blaming !"
Looking at the bewildered Beans, Netero couldn't help but laugh.
"That is true. Hello there, Beans-kun! With your height, you can only jump up and hit my knees, you know!"
Kenpachi Riku appeared, his burly and tall physique casting a massive shadow with a beast-like gaze over Beans. The pitiful Beans trembled all over in fright on the spot, finally snapping back to reality.
"You! You!? You... you are Examiner Kenpachi!? Candidate Riku!? Ah!? What is going on!?"
Beans finally reacted. Only now did he understand why Chairman Netero, who usually handled matters very steadily, would act so recklessly this ti.
If it was this Examiner Kenpachi, obtaining a Two-Star Pro Hunter License was absolutely not a problem.
But he never dread that this terrifying examiner was actually the seemingly harmless teenage candidate. This was simply too unexpected.
"Alright, now you can rest easy, right, Beans-kun? This old man's decisions are always very wise, hahahahaha!!"
Netero said proudly.
"Chairman Netero, regarding the Lightning Nen..."
Riku returned to normal, but he was interrupted by Netero before he could finish.
"I do not an to pry into your secrets, you don't need to spell it out. I just wanted to remind you that Lightning Nen is quite unique and is very likely to attract the attention of the Zoldyck family. Although this old man has so ties with them, there's no guarantee these guys won't receive certain missions, so you must be cautious around them at all tis..."
Netero rambled on for a bit, sounding exactly like he was instructing his own junior.
He had a relationship with Zeno, or rather, he had watched Zeno grow up, but he couldn't guarantee that other mbers of the Zoldyck family wouldn't receive a mission to assassinate Riku. He certainly didn't want this monstrous prodigy to die prematurely.
Of course, judging from current performances, the probability of Riku being successfully attacked was very low. But it was always better to be safe than sorry. Assassins didn't necessarily kill through direct combat; poison, orchestrated accidents, and various other thods were endlessly diverse.
"Thank you, Chairman Netero. I understand your good intentions, and I will accept this Hunter License. Oh, right, there was this card at the hotel today. Could you help see what this is about?"
Riku took out the unique card that had been placed on his door.
"Oh? A Zoldyck family marker card! It seems you've already been marked by soone from the Zoldyck family. You just need to log into the Association's official website and enter the code string on the back of this card to see their ssage. Let do it for you."
"Uh, I'm not very good with computers, Beans-kun, you do it."
Netero awkwardly handed the card to Beans, and soon, under the little guy's operations, a special interface was accessed.
"I saw you!"
"If you don't want your secrets leaked, co find !"
...
Just these two sentences.
Then the entire page disappeared; the information left inside was set to self-destruct after reading.
Interesting, it seed he had been targeted.
Among the mbers of the Zoldyck family present in the Association who could target him, who else could it be besides that guy Illumi?
As expected of a top-tier assassin. It seed highly likely that the other party had deduced that Kenpachi Zaraki was him through yesterday's battle, otherwise, he wouldn't have left such a card on the door.
It seed he was going to have to make a trip to the Zoldyck family estate. Originally, he hadn't planned on traveling all that way, and Gon-kun was also clamoring to go.
Furthermore.
The Zoldyck family possessed a massive amount of traits. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it was equivalent to the next top-tier secret dungeon, enough to farm a huge haul in one go.
His current strength was indeed very good, but once the Chira Ant crisis erupted, that would be the true massive crisis for all of humanity.
To be honest.
Although Old Man Netero was sowhat stubborn and obstinate, watching him die helplessly at the hands of the Chira Ants...
Riku still couldn't bear to let that happen. At the very least, this old man had treated him very well, practically looking out for him this entire journey. He was not so cold-blooded person who repaid kindness with enmity.
The matter... could be considered.
"Don't worry, young friend Riku. I will contact Zeno's side and have him look into exactly who in the family harbors hostility towards you. I will settle this matter for you, there's no need to worry. However, other assassination families might not listen to this old man's words, so you still need to pay extra attention."
Netero said with a smile.
Although he was recognized as the strongest among humanity, not every organization or faction in this world was willing to listen to his words after all.
Netero's deterrent power was still limited.
"There is no need, Chairman Netero. Gon-kun is currently clamoring to go find Killua, and I am also very interested in the Zoldyck family. What's more, the Zoldyck family's use of Nen is world-renowned, and I plan to spar with them anyway, so there's no need to trouble you."
"Ah? Hahahaha!! Good, good, good, hahahaha. However, since the Zoldyck family has never violated the Association's rules, if anyone from their side offends you, please, on account of this old man's face, leave them a way out. This old man would be endlessly grateful!"
Netero laughed heartily.
