Chapter 108: Neteroâs Invitation Part 1
Allan just smiled at Menshi and didnât take her words seriously.
Entering the Twelve Zodiacs isnât an easy thing, and even though Allan is a super newcomer and has the qualification to be a member, he knew that his achievement wasnât enough for that.
And defeating a one-star bounty hunter wasnât something to be proud of.
Even if Netero is optimistic about his future, he canât just become a Twelve Zodiacs member.
After all, each member had a certain qualification that he should meet.
Furthermore, Allan never thought of becoming a member of the Twelve Zodiacs. Becoming a Professional Hunter was enough.
âAllan, the Chairman is looking for you.â At this time, Cheadle came over and said.
âLooking for me?â Allan scratched the back of his head and asked: âWhy is he looking for me? Is it because I injured Adolf-Senpai?â
âYouâre overthinking it.â Cheadle assured: âEven if someone wanted to settle the score with you, it wouldnât be the Chairman.â
Allan knew this, as the one who would deal with him is Pariston.
When it comes to scheming, Pariston was a master.
As for his power, it should be alright since he could become the Vice-chairman.
Allan then asked: âWhy is the Chairman looking for me then?â
âI donât know. However, based on what I know, it seems like he is itching for a fight.â Cheadle guessed.
âItching for a fight?â
âYeah, simply put, the Chairman wants to fight you,â Cheadle explained.
Allan froze: âFight?â
âProbably because he saw your battle and decided to spar with you.â
As a member of the Twelve Zodiacs, Cheadle knew Netero very well.
âis this a joke?!â Allan exclaimed in his mind.
âSo Chairman Netero wants to fight me?!â Allan murmured.
But thinking carefully about it, Allan knew that Cheadleâs guess was spot on.
After all, he knew Netero was a battle maniac.
He liked the challenge, and even though he seems like an idiot at times, he spends his entire life pursuing martial arts and always welcomed a challenge.
However, because he was too strong, he didnât have anyone to challenge him anymore. Although his strength declined due to his age, he was still the strongest known figure in the world.
And now, such a monster wants to fight him.
Allan first thought about slipping away as he didnât want to fight against a monster like Netero, but his 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva is the strongest known Nen ability in the world so far.
His attacks were so fast the Meruem could only get slapped by it. Such a speed would render his Observation Haki useless.
And the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva power wasnât something the current him could defend against.
He didnât even know if the Elementalization of his Devil Fruit would work or not.
All in all, Allan didnât want to fight Netero.
[Ding! Make a Choice]
[1: Promise Cheadle to meet Netero in the Association. Reward: Senzu Bean.]
[2: Slip away and ditch Netero. Reward: Increase Nen by 3,000 Points]
âSenzu Bean?!â
Allanâs eyes lit up. The last time he got a Senzu bean, he had to give it to Gon.
Allan decisively chose the first option and decided to go see Netero.
[Ding! You have obtained a Senzu Bean. The reward has been stored in the Inventory.]
Allan directly took a look at it. He bid farewell to Gon and Hanzo before he took Hancock along and then followed Cheadle to the Association.
Cheadle was a little envious of the seemingly close relationship between Allan and Hancock.
Suddenly, Allan stopped ahead of him, and someone blocked the road.
He was a tall person with a cigar in his mouth.
It was Adolf who came looking for Allan for revenge against the previous humiliation.
âAdolf, we need to go,â Cheadle said in displeasure.
She was a member of Neteroâs Faction, while Adolf was someone under Pariston, so she wasnât polite at all when talking to him.
Allan smiled disdainfully and said: âIs there something you need?â
âYouâŠâ Adolf looking at Allan gloomily and gritted his teeth: âThe duel at the Banquet was my carelessness. Letâs fight again, and this time, you wonât be able to sneak attack me again.â
âSneak attack?â
Allanâs smile receded as he said: âDo you really think that you lost because I sneak attacked you?â
âYes.â Adolf nodded.
âSo you want to fight me again now?â
âYes.â Adolf grinned coldly: âIf you donât want to fight, then you wonât leave this place.â
âExcuse me, Iâm going to see Chairman Netero, and I donât have time to fight with you.â Allan waved his hand and didnât pay attention to Adolf.
However, as soon as he finished his words, the System intervened.
[Ding! Make a choice.]
[1: Beat Adolf down. Reward: Increase Nen by 1,000 Points]
[2: Mock Adolf and crush him completely with your strength. Reward: Marineâs Six Powers-Soru.]
A thousand points were too little, which made Allan take the second option.
Looking at Adolf, Allan shrugged and said: âSince you want to be beaten so much, then I will reluctantly fight you.
This time, I will fight head-on. We will use our fists to determine the winner.â
Adolf sneered at Allanâs proposal.
âDo you want to you directly attacks? Donât regret it later. Donât you know my Title?â
Allan shook his head, and Adolf directly announced proudly: âItâs Adolf the Iron Fist.â
Allan puckered his ear and said: âWell, letâs see whose fist is stronger.â
Suddenly, Adolf unleashed his Nen before strengthening his fists.
âCome on!â Adolf punched with all his power, while Allan didnât release his Nen from the start.
He raised his fist and greeted him with Armament Haki covering them.
As soon as the fists collided, a small shockwave spread.
Since Adolf was an Enhancer, his fist was indeed hard after he used Nen to strengthen them.
âSee, My Iron Fist isnât weaker than your black fist.â
âBlack fist?â
Allan was speechless as his Armament Haki was described as a black fist.
(T/L: In Chinese, Black hand means someone who is unlucky.)
Ignorance was terrifying.
âI didnât use my full power yet,â Allan said.
âReally? Then come on, I, Adolf of the Iron Fist, wonât lose to a newcomer.â
As soon as Adolfâs voice fell, Allan has already raised his hand clenched his fist hard.
Busoshoku: Koka (Armament Type: Hardening!)
Adolfâs face was full of disbelief as his face was smashed. He flew away and hit the ground.
Iâm so sorry for making you wait so much for chapters, but chapter 163 of HxH: G.O.C.S isnât available as the author wanted to edit it or something and I had to wait to see if it will be uploaded or not.
Unfortunately, it hasnât and there will be one missing chapter in the story. I have all 15 (10 normal releases and 5 stacks in the last tiers of Patreon.) chapters for this month translated already, and I will be publishing 3 each day and fill the last tiers on the last day like always.
Also, Iâm taking this month a break from TSH, and I will resume updating it next month.
