Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Creak, creak——

After wiping away the blood under the straight bridge of her nose, Paknoda held the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair with both hands and slowly pushed the wheelchair forward.

"The battle just now," Chrollo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was covered with a blanket from the waist down, "I saw it all."

"You did a good job." Chrollo raised the corners of his mouth and showed a peaceful smile.

The cross tattoo on his forehead was covered by his bangs, which made him look much younger.

"But," Piconoda lowered her head and glanced at Chrollo's head, then raised her head again, "it's not us who decide the victory or defeat, and it's not us who save Meteor Street."

Chrollo nodded slowly. "It doesn't matter... to be able to do this, you have done your best."

The bandaged vigilante walking on both sides and Madge, whose hairband broke and had to dishevel her hair, remained silent.

In Chrollo's current posture, he could no longer turn around on his own, so he just turned sideways and looked at the uneasy Sheila who was following behind.

"Sheila."

Silla originally lowered her head and rubbed her knuckles, but then she raised her face blankly, revealing several band-aids on her face.

These band-aids were caused by the claws of the demon squeezing her neck, and it was only now that she had time to put on the band-aids.

Chrollo also showed a calm smile to her.

"I don't mean to blame you, nor am I qualified to blame you. In fact, I am very grateful that you made such a choice. It was you who made Meteor Street find hope at a time of life and death."

Silla hesitated to speak at this moment. In the end, she just lowered her eyes and chose silence.

The situation in front of her was completely unsolvable, and nothing she said made sense.

The atmosphere was solemn, and the clatter of everyone's footsteps seemed monotonous, but Chrollo seemed to be in high spirits.

Pike Noda pushed the creaking wheelchair and arrived at a simple but spacious room deep in the corridor of the base camp.

After the door closed with a creak, only Chrollo, Knight Rider, Madge, Pak Noda, Germain, Xiaodi, Kurapika and Sheila were left in the room.

Outside the base camp, Chrollo made a suggestion to German. They went indoors to talk, and all the irrelevant people were screened out. German agreed.

There is not much furniture here, sofas of different colors are randomly put together, and the only things hanging on the walls are clocks and maps of Meteor Street, with almost no decoration.

Paknoda changed the direction of the wheelchair so that he could face the crowd, and then she and Madge lit more candles.

In the dim light, the reflection of the candle swayed in the night wind.

Chrollo asked Germain and others to sit down, but he did not ask Paknota to bring water. At this time, there was no need to do anything that might arouse suspicion.

Everyone can be more open and the conversation can go smoothly.

"Feel sorry."

Chrollo pointed to the light tube on the ceiling and looked at Germain and others.

"The circuit has been destroyed by Zailuo forces before. Every time it was repaired, casualties were incurred, and then it was simply shelved."

"The few remaining generators here are all used in the air raid shelters below. We can only talk in the shadows."

"Although I have already said it outside, I still want to express my most heartfelt thanks to you again."

"Without your help tonight, the base camp will definitely be breached."

He lost his entire right arm, and both legs disappeared below the knees. At this time, he could only raise the arm without his left palm and put the round end in front of his chest.

Chrollo bowed his head to everyone and tried his best to show his gratitude. After a moment of hesitation, Knight, Madge and Paknoda followed suit.

However, no one from Germain's side responded.

Sheila, who was in a neutral position, was breathing hard. She wanted to close her eyes, not to see or hear, but she was afraid. When she opened her eyes again, there was blood in the sky.

Her emotions towards Paknoda, Machi, Chrollo and the knights are always complicated and difficult to distinguish.

Chrollo didn't expect to get much response from Germain. He just made a gesture, raised his head and smiled calmly.

"I know what you are here for."

"One of the goals has been achieved. Zairo is dead, the old priest is freed from control, and Meteor Street is saved from a critical situation."

"As for the other purpose, of course it is towards me... However, I hope you can give me some time to make the final arrangements."

The vigilante, Madge and Pecnoda all reacted strongly at the same time, but Chrollo raised his hand to stop him and stared at Germain.

Germain spread out a hand and made a "go ahead" gesture.

Chrollo had to admit that he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he looked at the vigilante, Ma Qi and Paknotda standing aside.

"In the name of the only remaining elder of Meteor Street and the former leader of the Phantom Troupe, I order you to immediately disband the Phantom Troupe and never rebuild a similar organization."

"From now on, Meteor Street is a friend of Germain and his partners, and we must never do anything detrimental to them again."

Knight, Madge and Paknotah were all startled when they heard Chrollo's order.

Silla still lowered her eyes and made a dull expression.

"At the same time, you will succeed me as the elder of Meteor Street and handle all subsequent matters."

"Including but not limited to treating the wounded, burying the dead, cleaning up and expelling demons, gathering scattered Meteor Street people, rebuilding Meteor Street, etc."

Chrollo signaled them to stop with his eyes before anyone could react.

"This is my final decision and order. I hope you can respect my decision and order and agree to my request."

"Believe me, your future tasks will not be easy at all. Just defeating demons is a difficult task, but I will make it much easier."

"You have to keep going. This is our original intention. I don't want to see more senseless casualties."

The vigilante, Madge and Paknota either turned away or lowered their heads and clenched the corners of their clothes. With their intelligence, they had certainly heard what Chrollo meant.

They really wanted to follow Chrollo, but reason told them that Chrollo's decision was the right one. If they followed him and died, it would be nothing more than willfulness.

But if they were asked to agree, they really couldn't do it, so they could only respond in silence.

This is actually an answer.

Chrollo looked at them happily for a while, then turned his head and looked at Germain, Xiaodi, and Kurapika with a serious expression.

"I will let you deal with it, but please let them go and let them become the spark for the reconstruction of Meteor Street... Meteor Street will never be your enemy again."

"This is not a deal, because I know that our life and death, and the survival of Meteor Street, are in your hands, Germain. This is just my plea."

Sheila finally raised her head. Ever since the Phantom Troupe was officially established, Chrollo has never shown his true weak side to anyone.

Salazar's death seemed to have taken away all his weakness, leaving only another Chrollo who could handle everything coldly.

Chrollo, who always smiled confidently as if he had everything under control, completely gave up his dignity for the future of Meteor Street.

Germain did not rush to respond to Chrollo, but mentioned other things.

"Regarding that group of demons, the Hunter Association has set up defense lines outside the territory of Meteor Street to hunt and kill the escaped demons."

This is the limit of what the Hunter Association can do.

Nitro will issue missions for willing hunters to hunt the scattered demons, just like the NGL Autonomous Region and East Kota Republic at that time.

However, they will not enter Meteor Street without permission, and those who help Meteor Street will only walk around the edges at best.

Because that will cause dissatisfaction from V5, who believe that they are wasting resources and energy on completely unnecessary things.

Hot knowledge, V5 has the power and the ability to dissolve the Hunter Association.

The current result was achieved through negotiations with Nitro on the grounds of preventing demons from invading neighboring countries and regions and exacerbating the situation.

However, even so, it is of great help to Meteor Street. They and the hunters can complete the encirclement in some vague areas.

The knight also has a hunter's license. He is familiar with the operations of hunters and knows how to avoid political and procedural issues.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart again." Chrollo said, "If the Hunter Association needs any help, please tell the knights and others."

Only then did Germain continue to speak, but he pointed at Chrollo's figure in the wheelchair.

"Before we make a decision, I'd like to know what happened to you?"
