Unfortunately, Ging was clearly not the type to put on an emotional, tear-jerking father-son reunion with Gon under such circumstances with so many people watching.
Clearly, such a scene, under so many watchful eyes, would have made Ging feel deeply embarrassed and uncomfortable, making him shiver with awkwardness. He would never do something like that.
Moreover, he felt that he had already seen Gon many times.
After all, he had been following Gon's growth since he was a child, all the way up until now.
Although, ever since Gon became aware, they had never really met face-to-face.
Ging had only held Gon when he was little and even took him to Greed Island as a child.
Not just Gon, even Lan and Netero, Ging had never come here to meet any of them in person.
He just left a simple message for Lan, saying they would meet again if there was a chance.
He came and left quickly... Almost in a rushed and embarrassed way, like someone trying to escape from a mess.
Furthermore, he seemed to be quite clever.
It seemed he already knew that Gon and Lan could sense his presence, location, and situation.
So, this guy had gradually figured out how to mask his own presence.
He learned how to reduce his aura to the lowest possible level, making it impossible for anyone to detect or sense him.
His learning ability was unusually strong, even a little freakish.
Of course, his irresponsible and cowardly approach to avoid being found by his own son was truly baffling.
Ging was often called the most despicable bastard, and it was not without reason.
Sometimes, Lan couldn't help but feel like beating him up a little.
"Thankfully, the chairman is alright..."
The members of the Chimera Ant Extermination Team didn't pay too much attention to Ging's situation.
When they saw that Netero seemed to be fine on the surface, they all sighed in relief.
"This is really great!!"
Everyone felt genuinely fortunate and happy.
They all clearly knew the terrifying and dangerous nature of the Chimera Ants. Especially the strength of the royal guards, which was something they had experienced firsthand.
The result was that facing such enemies, none of them had any casualties during the operation.
This was certainly a stroke of luck and a very smooth operation.
In fact, things went so smoothly that everyone had a surreal feeling as if it wasn't real.
How could such a dangerous disaster be resolved in just one night?
Morel and Kite subconsciously looked at Lan standing there. They all knew that this time, in successfully resolving the Chimera Ant crisis, this man's important role was absolutely indispensable!
What's more...
They silently looked at Knov, who had come out of the four-level mansion.
"It's all arranged."
He pushed up his glasses and said quietly: "Neferpitou and the blind girl, Komugi, have already been properly arranged inside."
Well, there is one of the three royal guards who is not in the state of being captured.
Heaven knows what happened when Morel and the others arrived, expecting to celebrate and vent their emotions after such a thrilling and deadly night.
However, as soon as they entered, Morel almost dropped his pipe.
Neferpitou stood behind Lan and Chairman Netero, and it seemed like she was using her Nen abilities.
In that moment, Morel's brain, aside from a brief shock, began to think quickly about possible scenarios, including but not limited to Neferpitou using her abilities to control Lan and Chairman Netero…
Then perhaps she'd send a message, tricking them into coming here to be killed or controlled.
It had to be said that Morel's experience in dealing with enemies was extensive, so such thoughts naturally crossed his mind.
But fortunately, the chance of something so outrageous happening was very low.
Moreover, since Lan had greeted them directly, and with Gon and Killua standing nearby, looking relatively normal, and after explaining the current situation, Morel temporarily put down his pipe and ceased being on guard.
Especially after realizing that while Neferpitou was indeed activating her Nen abilities, they were directed at the unconscious blind girl lying on the ground.
This clarified things for everyone in the room.
It turned out that, indeed, in this palace, things had gone in a way they hadn't anticipated.
However, it was clear now that the Ant King was no longer in this world.
The greatest crisis had officially been averted.
As for what was going on in the room… though Gon and Killua didn't know Komugi's identity, they knew she was very important to the Ant King.
So important that Neferpitou, who was one of the royal guards, stayed behind to treat and rescue her.
There was also the so-called last command left by the Ant King before departing this world: "Take care of her, protect her safety from now on..."
After hearing this, Morel slowly chewed those words, and his gaze under his sunglasses grew increasingly complex as he looked at Komugi.
He was a veteran, so he understood the deeper meaning behind the Ant King's words.
Especially the emotional weight of those last words.
Even the members of the Chimera Ant Extermination Team who understood human nature slowly started to understand what was happening.
One by one, their eyes turned toward Neferpitou and the blind girl, but most of their attention was on the blind girl.
