Who would have thought that Oboro would seem not to have heard her, and directly walked past her, closed the door, and left.
"..."
Biscuit's words hadn't finished, and her smile also froze on her face.
The room was silent for a moment.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Ahhhhhhh! Damn it, that little bastard... He has this great beauty in front of him, but he's not using her, and he's going to find someone else?! Don't you regret it! Don't even think about coming to ask me again!"
Biscuit's cheeks began to heat up and turn red, and then, she shouted angrily.
Bean picked up a handkerchief, and slowly wiped the saliva that had been sprayed on his face, looking very calm.
He looked at Netero, and asked: "Chairman... Aren't you being too rash by doing this... Even if Oboro has a certain amount of strength, he has no experience in completing this kind of mission. He's a complete rookie. Moreover... The danger level of this mission isn't low, and there's very little relevant information, which means everything is unknown... Originally, the Association was planning to send an investigation team... Now it's just him alone..."
"This little guy has been moving forward in a stable environment all along. He has deployments and understanding of information, danger, safety, and even the roles involved in his plan... All factors are controllable. To put it bluntly, he's growing in a framework that he's familiar with and can predict changes in, and he's adjusting his response policies at any time... But this way, he'll never become an excellent Hunter."
Netero said softly: "To measure whether a Hunter is truly powerful, you have to look at his ability to face the unknown..."
"An unknown environment, unknown enemies, unknown dangers... Hehehe..."
"But... He'll die."
Bean understood the Chairman's meaning, but he still couldn't help but say this.
He felt that the speed was a little too fast... Oboro might not have the strength to handle it now.
"Death is what he needs to face the most right now."
After Netero finished speaking, he looked at the sky outside the window.
His gaze was deep... As if he was lost in some kind of thought.
Biscuit also fell silent.
Whether Oboro could come back from this trip... Meant whether he would be transformed...
With the help of the staff, Oboro first registered the mission within the Association.
There were two types of registration. One type was for missions that involved achievements and points in related fields.
This way, it would attract Hunters of the matching type to join.
After completing the mission, the Association would give a basic reward... Most of the people who chose this kind of mission looked down on this little bit of reward. They were just here to increase their star level.
The second type was where the project leader of the mission paid out of their own pocket, and added to the basic reward to hire Hunters within the Association... This was also the most common method.
From Oboro's understanding of the Association, the factional divisions of the internal members were quite obvious...
It was worth noting that the form of mission posting that Oboro had chosen was only for Association-affiliated Hunters.
They privately liked to call star-level Hunters 'starred grandpas'...
Association-affiliated Hunters referred to those who specialized in undertaking government or enterprise missions that were first accepted by the Hunter Association.
They were different from other Hunters such as Gourmet and Music Hunters, and could be seen as... employees hired by the Association. Rather than the kind of relatively free Hunters who went out alone to form a private squad...
There were many reasons for becoming an Association-affiliated Hunter, such as a relatively stable number of jobs and funding, or their strength was relatively poor, or they had no way out if they worked alone, etc...
Before they had the capital to stand on their own feet, they still had to rely on the Association, this big platform, to grow.
In the Hunter Association, Association-affiliated Hunters were the norm... And were also the choice of most people.
In addition, there was the matter of accepting missions... There was a special review agency inside the Association. If you accepted a certain mission, you had to pass the assessment of the review team in advance to determine whether you had the ability and qualifications to complete it. You couldn't accept some missions just because you wanted to.
Like Oboro this time, he had been directly entrusted by the Chairman. Otherwise, with his qualifications... It would have been impossible for him to take on such a big project as soon as he came in.
"It's been announced. If there are any suitable candidates later, the Association will notify you personally."
At the office counter, a female staff member smiled at Oboro.
"How long does it usually take?"
Oboro asked.
"This... It depends on the content of the mission."
"Thank you."
Oboro nodded, and turned around and left.
It was probably going to be difficult...
This method was the same as forming a team in a game.
Even if someone was interested, they would probably give up as soon as they saw that the person in charge was an unfamiliar newbie...
Secondly, the relevant information about the mission was completely blank, and the danger level was also very high.
Even if Oboro gave a rich salary, they would still retreat.
"There's no way around it, I can only use the manpower of the Fiers Family..."
Oboro thought to himself.
In the past few months, the Fiers Family had been expanding its foundation, and restoring the vitality after the death of the former Ten Don, Brown.
They were buying people and thugs from Meteor City, and were also spending heavily to hire powerful Nen users... With the foundation of the Mafia, it wouldn't be a problem to temporarily form a team.
However... These people might not all be professionals.
There was also the fact that... Their level would be very poor.
Most importantly, there was the strength... At a critical moment, there was the possibility of them holding him back.
The members and number of the team were valued for their refined, not for their quantity.
Besides, entering the Republic of East Gorteau required some entry procedures, and there were also restrictions on the number of people.
When it involved the official side, things would become very complicated.
It wasn't as simple as sneaking in. Once you were discovered, it would be a 'major diplomatic incident'.
Thinking this, Oboro had just walked out of the Association, and was planning to return to the Fiers Family first, when his phone rang.
After answering, it was the staff member from the Association.
She said that someone had applied to join his mission...
"So fast? And they don't even need to review it?"
Oboro was a little surprised.
The fact that the review department had directly 'released' it meant that the applicant must have solid qualifications, and be very powerful.
This was a good thing!
Having a veteran join a rookie team would greatly reduce casualties...
The Association's review was for the sake of the completion efficiency of the mission, and the safety of the Hunters, so they made a recommendation.
As for the final decision on who to choose, it was still up to Oboro, the person in charge, to decide.
The Association had already transmitted the information to his phone. Oboro had been a little expectant at first, but after seeing the applicant's information, he directly deleted it.
Zodiac Rat, the current two-star Hunter, Pariston.
This guy was targeting him...
The reason was nothing more than the fact that he had attracted the Chairman's attention, and Pariston's 'meaning' was to go against the Chairman, and find fun from it.
The best way to deal with this kind of person was to ignore him first...
With Netero around now, even if Pariston wanted to drag him into some situation, it wouldn't be easy to do.
"This guy has already started to cultivate people within the Association-affiliated Hunters, huh..."
Oboro snorted.
He turned off his phone.
He got into a taxi and went to the airport.
A few days later, he arrived in the Republic of Padokea, and returned to his territory.
As he had expected, the Association hadn't contacted him after the first phone call.
In other words... His mission was very likely to become invalid.
There was a set time for entering East Gorteau... Oboro also had to organize a team in advance, report it to the Association, and go through a series of procedures.
...
The residence of the Fiers Family.
Oboro slowly explained that he needed manpower, but he didn't reveal any content or reasons.
"Do they all have to be Nen users?"
After listening, David fell into deep thought, "You also need experts in various fields such as reconnaissance, language, and wilderness environment..."
"That's too detailed... It's no problem to find these people. We can hire them, but it will take time."
"That's why I came back, because there isn't enough time..."
Oboro sat on the sofa, and rubbed his temples.
Actually, he could also go alone, but that would also mean that he would have to bear all the dangers, and no one would help him share them.
Everything he was facing now was unknown.
With one more person, there would be one more strength and hope...
David was silent.
He had some understanding of the family head's strength.
Seeing that Oboro was so serious, it meant that the members he required had to have excellent skills, and couldn't be ordinary small fries...
Otherwise, as long as he issued an order to all the Mafia families in the territory, he could gather countless people overnight.
The problem was... These weren't what Oboro needed.
"How long?"
On the side, Lily, who was sitting in a wheelchair, asked softly.
"Two days."
Oboro said in a deep voice.
"David, first go and notify all the families and groups in the territory, and have them provide and recommend a list of relevant personnel, and then screen them... Secondly, call the members of the security team that have been recruited during this time." Lily instructed.
