Hunter x Hunter Rise Meteor Street
Chapter 18 Funeral and Trash
After one night, the news of the death of the king and queen was broadcast on the TVs of the Menbis Empire. The whole country was grieving. King Orson could not bear such a blow. He suddenly suffered a stroke and was speechless.
Under the influence of various forces in the political and military circles, the Chief of Police chose not to offend anyone. He appeared worried every day in interviews with reporters, but in fact he was waiting for the situation to change and determined the strongest direction before following the trend. .
There is a black gold-encrusted coffin in the hall of Walter Manor. Emma's body lies inside and will be officially buried with Baron tomorrow.
Today, everyone in the Walter family is wearing black and holding a funeral ceremony in great grief.
Emma's mother could not sit still for a long time looking at her daughter's portrait. The shock of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person away made this equally strong mother collapse. She had not eaten for a day.
Emma's father, Commander Walter, endured the great pain in his heart and began to manage relationships, stabilize his position, and sent people to strengthen the security of the manor.
Walter also arranged many private investigators to secretly search for the whereabouts of his two grandsons. He knew that Orson was old and had no real power.
Because this trip was exposed, he concluded that the police and the underworld must be related, and he could only rely on his own strength.
The eldest prince Dolan was far away in the border area. He was shocked when he received the news of Balon's death. He quickly brought a group of people directly to the capital to attend the funeral and see what other princes were doing.
At the funeral, all the ministers, generals, and nobles from the major families were present. Balon's mother, the old queen, appeared on behalf of King Orson and presided over all matters.
After the funeral ceremony, everyone had a dinner together. Several ministers expressed regret for the early death of King Balon and then made some remarks to the old queen. The banquet triggered a debate about the new king.
"A country cannot live without a king for a day, otherwise neighboring countries will take advantage of it. Queen, I suggest that the fourth prince Carl be elected as the new king. He does things well and officials from various departments often deal with him. I believe he will succeed to the throne soon. It will be easy for you.”
"I don't agree. I think that in terms of ability and contribution, the eldest prince Dolan should be given priority. His military ability is obvious to all. The Frontier Corps, which has always had mutinies many times, has been very stable since he took over, ensuring peace in the country. He should do king."
"I think you have all overlooked one person. The fifth prince, Jayne, is humble and has a dignified appearance. Our army is willing to support his succession to the throne."
The old queen looked at these courtiers who were usually respectful to Orson and thought that they were so aggressive now. They were really bullying me, a woman who has no right.
She silently set her sights on Commander Walter. Now only this powerful father-in-law could be counted on.
"My son-in-law and daughter were brutally killed, and the whereabouts of my two grandsons are unknown. I feel sad and I really don't know what to say. But since the prince is recommended to succeed, the third prince Dandi should also be qualified. Before he makes a statement, I I won’t support anyone.”
Walter felt the signal in the old queen's eyes, and he expressed his thoughts, giving the old queen the confidence to fight back.
"Walter, you are an old fool. Everyone knows that Prince Dandy has no interest in national affairs and travels all over the world to explore and play. Now that the king is dead and he didn't even show up for the funeral, he will definitely not be able to be a king."
A minister who supported Prince Karl excitedly refuted Walter.
"Every prince has the right to succeed to the throne. Unless he voluntarily gives up, it is not your turn to judge the king's son. Now organize a cabinet meeting, composed of generals and ministers. I appoint Walter as Prime Minister, and you will discuss all major matters. Vote to decide who will be the next king. The decision I am talking about is the decision of King Orson. This decision represents the majesty of the Munro family for three thousand years. Anyone who opposes it is against the royal family. Pick it up, this country needs stability, that’s all I’m saying, goodbye.”
The Queen made her final decision, stood up and left the banquet, escorted back to the palace by the Royal Guards.
No one here expected that the old queen would be so decisive. These politicians underestimated the old woman's skills.
She used Walter, the largest legion leader, as a trump card to suppress the opposition forces. For a while, no one dared to act rashly. After all, the children of the Walter family were all capable of fighting and were not easy to mess with.
But this is also the brief calm before the storm. The Menbis Empire is irreversibly facing a huge chaos that will last seven or eight years, and all forces are ready to move.

Morning on Meteor Street.
While the sun is not so dazzling, the mountains filled with garbage are filled with busy figures.
In the eyes of the people of Meteor Street, this mess of rubbish is like a treasure that needs a pair of eyes to discover it.
There are many types of garbage, some of which are medical waste, with toxic drug residues or deadly viruses hidden in them.
Some of them are domestic garbage, broken furniture and appliances, sheets and clothes, leftovers, etc. Ants, flies, and mosquitoes are the first creatures to share them.
Some are industrial waste, metal scraps, plastic fragments, various pipes, etc.
With so many types of garbage mixed together, it is determined that picking up garbage is also a behavior full of dangers.
But this is Meteor Street, where garbage is the most common thing, and most of the hope for life comes from this.
Some people wearing protective clothing were working together to divide the work. They picked out a lot of iron slag mixed with water, loaded it into carts, concentrated it in the sun, and screened out the impurities, so that they could sell it at a good price.
Some people were picking up garbage alone. They didn't wear protective clothing at all. Maybe they were immune, or maybe they didn't have money to buy one.
A girl with purple hair tied in a ponytail was looking down and carefully turning over every piece of garbage under her feet.
Not far from her, a tall and strong boy was also turning over the garbage. His hair was long and messy, and his face was rough.
As he turned over, he saw a flash of light in the layers of garbage. He pulled the garbage apart with force and found a hand exposed.
There was a watch on the wrist. The boy took off the watch, shook it hard, and heard the creaking sound of the gears turning and biting when he put it to his ear, revealing a happy smile.
"Maggie, look what I picked up?"
Maggie looked up and saw her companion Wo Jinzheng shouting, throwing a golden object towards her, and she immediately caught it with her hand.
She opened her hand and took a closer look. It turned out to be a small gold watch, which was a rare treasure.
He quickly looked around and found that many pairs of eyes nearby were attracted by Wo Jin's loud voice.
Maggie quickly walked up to Wo Jin and whispered:
"You guy, you are always so arrogant, do you really want to fight someone?"
"How can a man become stronger without fighting?"
Although he is still a teenager, Wo Jin's body is already quite sturdy and strong, as strong as an ox.
"Hey! Those two guys, you should share the good stuff!"
"That's right, everyone who sees it should have a share."
Seeing the gold watch in Maggie's hand, the jealous people around surrounded the two teenagers.
Wo Jin began to smile excitedly, and his two eyes emitted murderous light like a wolf seeing its prey.
His fists began to clench tightly, and his knuckles made a squeaking sound.
Please recommend. Today I recommend the first and second parts of the movie "Hitman Fable", which is adapted from a popular comic. It is a must-see for those who like gun fighting. The second part is simply amazing.
