Inside the house, Oboro's expression was somewhat solemn.
Given Ging's personality, if it could be said that he could be prevented from succeeding as president, then there must be a way.
Judging from the current situation, Ging's strength, reputation, and popularity gave him overwhelming advantages over the Twelve Zodiacs.
You know, the Fells family has been training a new generation of Nen users and sending them to the association
"If he wants to ruin my plan, the best way is to destroy my reputation," Oboro pondered.
In the original timeline, after Netero's death, Ging found the Bean-faced Man to "collude" privately, and had already prepared to propose drawing lots when discussing the selection of the chairman of the council. During this period, there was also a secret game between Ging and Pariston In the end, all members of the Hunter Association voted to choose the new candidate.
If the plot remains unchanged and the new president is still elected by votes, popularity and fame will be crucial. The only thing Ging Freecss can do is to destroy the image that Oboro has carefully cultivated.
Reveal his true colors.
Pariston might have wanted to do the same thing at first.
Using ants
Oboro and his team knew the truth but kept it secret, which indirectly led to Netero's death.
Now Killua has made an agreement with him not to reveal any information about him, and the coincidence of his appearance in NGL has also been covered up by the Fells family, so there will be no loopholes. Unless Killua acts as a witness, but this is impossible.
Or Ging and Pariston will join forces to deal with him.
"Since there's no place to attack regarding the ants, the only thing left to stop me from becoming the president is to change the method of succession. It's no longer a drawing of lots, and all members of the association are no longer involved Is it a vote within the Twelve Zodiacs?" Oboro narrowed his eyes.
If only the association's management has the right to vote, then he does not have any advantage.
The prerequisite is that Pariston has to help Ging Ging alone cannot do it.
"But it's useless" Oboro put down the phone and said coldly.
The Kakin Empire has issued biological survey commissions for many years The association has just realized that this is a typical case of poor management. Oboro can bite back and use the management ability of the Twelve Zodiacs as a gimmick to insist on becoming the new president claiming it was because the Zodiacs weren't vigilant enough that Netero had to clean up the mess for them, failing to discover the ants early enough to eliminate the threat. In addition, the grassroots staff of the association are dissatisfied with the star hunters and the old system. He will definitely have a large number of supporters in the name of reform and justice.
Besides, this time it was Netero who had to take the blame for the mess, so what about next time?
Who else could handle this level of threat? There are only a few people with this ability.
He had refused to join the Twelve Zodiacs twice before, which created an image of not liking power. At this moment, he had to "compromise" and stand up to take over the baton of the president This is more convincing than those who only want to become the president.
Ging Freecss, Cheadle Cheadle, Pariston they may all have the ability to become presidents, but they need supporters.
Pariston has a certain advantage in numbers because of his connections in the association, but his image within the association is of no use.
And Oboro is the representative of being "close to the people."
Kite is already dead If Ging makes a fuss about the ants again, Oboro can also take the opportunity to prove the ability of his team. It was they who provided the information and intelligence to the association, but they did not expect the ants to be so dangerous at the beginning, and it was also because they trusted the president too much.
If the successor is chosen from the Twelve Zodiacs, Oboro is capable of launching a "revolution"
Although the hunter's license is for life and will not be revoked for any reason, if association members withdraw from the association and no longer recognize that they belong to the association
You know, the number of people in the entire Hunter Association is not large.
He didn't believe that the Twelve Zodiacs could confront him head-on.
The most important thing is, as soon as the old man died, Beyond immediately launched an expedition At this critical juncture, who else can step forward?
Therefore, no matter how Ging tries to disrupt his plan, Oboro can respond.
His battle with Ging was not a fight to the death, but a contest to control the situation.
Ging doesn't like to have grudges or fights with others easily. He is not like Pariston, who always takes the initiative to find faults
"What's wrong?" Fant and Anthony, who were standing by, saw what he was saying and realized something was wrong.
"It's okay someone just wanted to add some seasoning to this bowl of soup hehe, it becomes more delicious" Oboro smiled.
"Golden Freecss what on earth is he thinking?" Fant exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a deep voice.
To say that Ging and the captain are enemies not really. It seems that he has always been just observing the captain. Rather than really tripping people up like Pariston did.
If there is no hostility, Ging's actions are very targeted at Oboro
This man made them a little confused.
Time passed little by little, and soon, the association's punitive team against the Chimera Ants set out.
Led by President Netero, Knov, Morel, and Morel's disciples, Knuckle and Shoot, among others.
Biscuit naturally arrived as well. She did it for Killua and Gon.
Now these two little ghosts, like Wing, are considered her disciples.
All the characters in the original timeline are included.
The Twelve Zodiacs and other association members did not participate. The reason was simple: President Netero stepped in and everyone was extremely confident in his abilities.
Including Netero himself.
Because before coming, Ging Freecss had a private talk with him in which he mentioned that there would be danger to his life and the Ant King that Oboro mentioned.
But the old man didn't care.
In addition to believing in himself, there was another reason, which was that he could not refuse the direct appointment of V5.
Biscuit found Gon and Killua and began to give special training to the two little apprentices again.
However, Netero, Knov and Morel went directly into NGL and began to investigate the ants.
With Oboro's warning in mind, the three did not dare to go deep into the ant nest. They just explored the periphery, looking for some lone Chimera Ants to capture and study, observing the ants' physiological structure and studying their habits. The results were the same as the information provided by Oboro. Even the physical strength of ordinary soldier ants was terrifying and some elite special soldier ants, in addition to having obvious biological characteristics, also have a fighting style that incorporates mature thinking similar to that of humans.
This is scary.
Morel cooperated with Knov and captured a soldier captain who had awakened his mind.
It also made them once again clearly aware of the threat posed by this creature.
He is just a captain of the troops, and above him is the division commander and the terrifying Catwoman who seriously injured Kite with one blow.
A member of the King's Royal Guard.
During this period, Oboro has been wandering around and observing secretly, and confirmed that Pouf and Youpi have been born.
The only one missing is the Ant King Meruem.
With the appearance of Pouf and Youpi, the ants, who had been afraid to show up because of Catwoman's death, began to expand their activities again
The queen ant's production has reached a critical moment and food cannot be cut off.
In Knov's dimensional apartment
Netero once again put on his long-forgotten casual clothes: a heart-emblazoned tank top, half-sleeves, and shorts.
This outfit was what he wore when he was young, whenever he fought with all his strength and challenged the strong men from various martial arts disciplines He hasn't touched it for many years, which shows how much he values this mission.
In order to regain his original fighting form, he had asked Knov and Morel to capture various "sparring partners." In addition, the latter two had also been studying the Chimera Ants, striving to have a more thorough understanding of these creatures.
At this time, in the dimensional apartment, on the ground of this independent space
The dead bodies of ants scattered all over the ground they were all alien species that had been killed by Netero.
A door behind the old man opened, and Knov, wearing glasses and a suit, walked in.
Looking at the Chimera Ant, a soldier captain who had just died at the feet of the president, he said calmly, "Did you get an answer?"
"Um" Netero grinned calmly.
Seeing this, Knov closed his eyes and sighed, "So, he really did hide the truth from us The cat girl is dead, killed by Oboro, and judging from the time he showed up, he didn't come to NGL on a whim Even now, he might not have left yet."
Oboro's affairs could be hidden from them, but these ants knew everything They all knew that a human was "making trouble" in their territory and even killed a member of the King's Royal Guard. The news about Oboro's appearance and clothing had spread in the ant nest.
So Netero and the others would know the answer with just a little questioning.
"President I advise you to be careful with him. This person has other intentions," Knov said calmly. "I'd better inform the association"
"No need!" Unexpectedly, Netero suddenly spoke up to stop him.
"As for Oboro's affairs, just pretend you don't know anything and don't tell anyone." The president stroked his beard and smiled without minding at all.
"President" Knov frowned.
I feel that the president is too lenient towards Oboro Even if he is a privileged person, there are still some rules that he has to follow.
"Oboro has done what he should do The cat girl's strength is extraordinary. Even if I personally took action, I may not have been able to kill her. But he took the risk to get rid of her."
"Yes He provided us with the information and killed the ant, but he didn't tell us! If we had planned and acted on this right away, before the queen ant gives birth to the King, and before the other two Royal Guards wake up" Knov wanted to say something else.
"Knov" Netero put away his smile, stretched his neck, and waved his hand, "You have seen the danger of ant colonies. Even if the cat girl dies, with the number of these ants, including those division commanders, do you think we can deal with them in a short time?"
"With the genes of these ants, their birth is inevitable. It's just a matter of time. Even if I enter the ant nest in advance, those two Royal Guards and the Ant King will still appear they will just be born prematurely."
""
"I can break in by myself, but it's not a sure thing" The old man talked to himself.
"But that situation is better than now. Two members of the Royal Guard have been born and are wary of humans." Knov's eyelids drooped, "I think he did it on purpose!"
"Yes he is gambling." Netero showed his teeth.
"That little guy thinks I will lose to the ants!"
Netero sighed, "My old bones are underestimated"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Knov with a serious expression, "Remember, don't tell anyone about Oboro. This is an order."
Knov's breath paused.
Finally, he nodded.
It's to protect me Knov thought secretly.
In addition, he was also aware of Oboro's influence within the association.
If we fall out with Oboro, the association will be in chaos, which is not a good thing.
He really didn't think it through.
And Knov heard another meaning behind the president's words.
It seemed to contain some kind of awareness
This made his heart sink.
At the same time, in the wooden house where Oboro and the other two stayed.
Oboro was lying on the floor with his legs crossed, dangling on his toes.
"You are just too kind Even in this situation, you still want to prove yourself, thinking that this will suppress all unstable factors. People's personalities are really difficult to change."
"It's a dead end but it doesn't have to be a dead end"
"I can see everything clearly"
"Why go to this extent? Living soberly is too tiring"
He whispered softly.
