Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 159 Too Conrad

Faced with such a clear offer, not all candidates would be willing to accept.

Among the candidates who are able to participate in the Hunter Exam, there are also some who are arrogant.

Of the candidates who became hunters, none accepted the recruitment offer, while others needed to consider it further. Of course, some chose to join the Conrad family directly.

His goal remains to become a hunter, and he wants to leverage the power of the Conrad family.

After learning about the hunter's true power, they all develop some ulterior motives.

Those recruited would become Russell's faction.

"What's so smug about? He only became a hunter because of his family's influence!" In a corner of the banquet, several young members of the Conrad family gathered together, and Russell, who was looking on with smugness, said irritably.

"Does our contribution mean nothing to our aunt?!"

The people speaking were all women from the Conrad family.

In the world of gangsters, it is rare for women to become family leaders, but since Julia became the head of the Conrad family, there was naturally no such discrimination, and the women in the family were all trained.

This has also instilled a competitive spirit in these young women.

As for Julia's generation, unless Julia died unexpectedly, no one could shake her position.

"Perhaps in my aunt's eyes, only great strength is valued, but isn't that how it is in our world?" a blond boy said.

He is the youngest member of the Conrad family, only thirteen years old this year, and his name is Yate Conrad.

"It was just good luck. I should have taken the Hunter Exam too." This time, it was a few male members who spoke.

Ye Tai merely squinted his eyes and offered a few words of slight flattery.

Although he is the youngest in the family, don't assume he doesn't understand anything just because he is young. In this kind of family environment, there are no innocent children.

He understood the complaints of his older brothers and sisters.

They simply didn't see the true nature of the matter. Even Russell's brother, who was feeling quite pleased with himself, didn't believe he had grasped the true nature of the family.

However, his goal was not to become the head of the family.

Now that Russell's brother has also awakened Nen, it's just unknown whether his special sensory ability will evolve into a special Nen ability.

That's quite a curiosity.

Then, their attention turned to the candidates, with a particular focus on Jin. The fact that he was valued by his elder brother and not deliberately recruited but treated as a friend speaks volumes.

Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, Charlier was also observing.

He had no intention of joining the Conrad family.

Now he is thinking about his next steps.

He took the Hunter Exam to fulfill a certain request.

Now that I have a hunter's license, I can continue, but I don't know if the situation has worsened, or if those guys have kept their promise.

His original plan was to go back immediately after obtaining his hunter's license.

But the situation has changed somewhat now. Going back now, I'm afraid I won't be able to change much. My strength is still too weak in the face of that place.

Perhaps we can seek "help".

In other words, he didn't have any money; otherwise, he could have simply used his hunter's license to post a commission.

Charlier's previous job was the owner of a jack-of-all-trades shop, where he was willing to do anything as long as he was paid.

Until they met a girl who had run away from home, they formed the Yorozuya duo and spent a pleasant time together.

Then something really dramatic happened.

The girl's identity is actually not simple; she is from a large family.

The fact that she was able to form the Yorozuya duo with Shariel also means that the girl is a Nen user.

The girl was being hunted by her family because she had taken an important item from them.

The daughter didn't want to return the item, and her actions led to the accident.

Finally, Sharil was entrusted by this family, but he would only be recognized if he had a hunter's license.

Sharil thought that perhaps only a powerful Nen user could solve that situation.

The Heaven's Arena has no shortage of powerful Nen users, but how can one get them to help them?

I am unable to give anything of sufficient value.

Instead of thinking about his own affairs, he focused his attention on his surroundings.

Surprisingly, this family has a lot of Nen users!

However, it seems that most of them are not Nen users.

Charlier looked toward the group of people including Yonex Conrad.

After all, such a small group, with their arrogant expressions, makes it easy for people to guess their identities.

Then he met someone's gaze.

Yes, that's too much like Conrad.

What a perceptive kid!

Is it just my imagination? This kid seems like he might also be a Nen user?

Charlier quickly shifted his gaze.

Unbeknownst to them, Konrad was the fleeting look of surprise followed by a surge of joy on his face.

The banquet went relatively smoothly, and everyone achieved their goals.

Charlier declined their offer to stay and left the Conrad family.

After leaving the Conrad family area, Charlier stopped.

Because a car blocked his way.

"Mr. Charlier, my young master wishes to see you." A butler-like figure was waiting beside the car.

It seems they've been waiting for him all along.

He opened the car door and invited Charlier to get in.

Inside the car, a familiar figure was smiling at Charlier.

It was none other than Conrad, whom Charlier had noticed briefly at the banquet.

Does the other party have any special purpose in contacting me? Is it also to recruit him?

Charlier guessed at the other party's purpose.

This inevitably brings to mind the power struggles within these large families.

Charlier got into the car and, not sensing any danger, decided to listen to what the other party wanted to do.

After Charlier got into the car, the butler/driver outside closed the door and walked away, clearly not wanting to hear their conversation.

"Hello, Mr. Charlier, I am Yate Conrad. We met once at the banquet."

Let Konrad introduce himself.

"After the banquet, you even waited for me on my way back. What's the matter? Just say it quickly." Charlier got straight to the point.

"Mr. Charlier must be troubled by something," Yone Conrad said with certainty.

"Troubles, who doesn't have troubles in life?" Charlotte thought to herself, "Could it be that the other party has investigated me?"

But that shouldn't be the case, it's only the first time we've met!

Even if they had investigated him, shouldn't it have been Russell Conrad?

"Mr. Charlier, is your trouble caused by a book?" The question had barely left his mouth when...

Two streams of spiritual energy rose up in the car.
