Chapter 155: Preparations
..........
None except Yasuo who is just messing around and Pariston who couldn't help but do something that baffled everyone else, something extremely rare from someone like him, he let out a small genuine laugh then he stood up saying, "I appoint Yasuo Zoldyck as the vice president and... I resign."
Just what's going on? Everyone wondered watching the strange sequence of events play out, they already had Parsiton to keep an eye on and now they'll have another hindrance to worry about especially considering he will be the new president, however, none of the Zodiacs knew what actually happened.
None of them know that the two strange humans wrote each other's names and before any of them can voice any complaints or opinions they have regarding Pariston's actions, Yasuo slowly stood up with a small on his face and uttered the baffling words.
"I appoint Cheadle as the vice president and... I resign." Then he walked out of the room with Pariston following closely after him, Pariston who has a joyful smile on his face enjoying the previous sequence of events.
He followed Yasuo until they left the building and only then did the latter stopped and asked, "What do you want?"
"Well, I'd like you to meet someone and have a chat, it should only take thirty minutes max, and trust me, you'll be glad you meet him. Also..." Pariston directly answered as if he was waiting for Yasuo to ask that though Pariston didn't get to finish what he wanted to say before Yasuo interrupted him saying, "Lead the way."
Pariston smiled and did as told, he walked towards a certain direction with Yasuo following closely after him until they reached a tall building not far from the headquarters, a hotel. Pariston directly headed to the elevator as he already has the keys to the room.
They walked through the hallway in silence until Pasristo stopped in front of a specific room and brought a key from his jacket pocket and opened the door. f𝚛e𝐞𝐰𝚎b𝚗o𝚟𝚎l.c𝗼m
What came in their view is a strange middle-aged man sitting comfortably on the couch with a big smile on his face.
Someone Yasuo knows and was expecting. The man has long black hair enclosed by a band and a long black beard.
His most distinctive feature is his scar which is shaped like an X, located in his face. His clothing resembles that of an ancient Chinese commander, with long robes that reach down to his arms.
Most importantly, he looks extremely similar to Isaac Netero and that's for a very logical reason, the man is Netero's son, Beyond Netero, his personality is also extremely similar to Netero though there is a large difference between them, Beyond wants to go to the dark continent at all costs, his interest in it is extreme in contrast to Netero who is mostly interested in challenges.
Yasuo remained standing and waited for Beyond to say whatever he has to say, however, he simply asked a question, "Do you know who I am? Do you know what I want?"
Yasuo nodded without any change in his expression, "Yeah, your father told me a lot about you and I know you want to go to the dark continent and is probably preparing for it, and well, perhaps we can work together later, I believe you already investigated me and got enough information to know how much power and influence I have so it depends on what you bring to the table."
Then Yasuo turned around leaving as he said, "I will contact you later." And this is how Yasuo completely hijacked the surprise meeting leaving Beyond speechless, he expected the meeting to a bit weird but this is beyond what he expected.
Pariston looked in amusement as Beyond's face continued to twitch until the latter burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, I really didn't expect this to go this way, now I don't look cool at all hahaha..."
Yasuo left the building and headed to a nearby coffee restaurant where he ordered his favorite drink, coffee, and just waited for Killua to contact him.
killua who dearly wants to heal Gon at all costs yet he wasn't able to, every Nene user they brought to Gon failed to do anything, in fact, they all saw it as a hopeless case.
Gon's friends however didn't give up and continued to try whatever they can yet nothing worked leaving Killua no choice but to consider making a wish to Nanika,
He thought about telling Yasuo first but he didn't know if the latter will allow him, Yasuo spent much more time with her than Killua so its only natural he knows much more about Nanika.
So if there is really a hidden price to granting wishes, he should know it especially with all the information Killua found about Yasuo,
They're vague but are enough to make a few conclusions and in his point of view, he really wanted to heal Gon and if it's possible, he couldn't risk Yasuo knowing of what he's trying to do.
However, he knew he needs to ask Alluka first, she's his dear sister so how could he not tell her and he is sure she will understand though there is something that has been bugging Killua, something he was scared to look for answers to, since Yasuo left Alluka with him, she hadn't once made a request nor did Nanika ever show up.
Usually, back then she will make a request whenever possible yet she hasn't made one request so far, in fact, she has been acting like an older sister asking if he needs her to pat him and such.
He knew he could only find out if he asked her so he did just that as they stood not far from the specially made small hospital for Gon.
Alluka noticed Killua's nervousness immediately once he told her to come with him but she remained silent throughout the way thinking of why he's acting as such and remembering Yasuo's teachings on how humans work, his deep analysis that he taught her just in case proved to be quite beneficial.
She also proved to be a little genius as she absorbed everything he taught her like a sponge, every subject he presented she mastered without offering any objection, she knows when to act mischievous and complain and when to not and in her mind, anything Yasuo teach her is something she can't forget.
Though acting as the older sister isn't something she learned from Yasuo, instead, it's something she learned through video games, and she thinks she's quite mature due to spending time with Yasuo so she decided to see how it feels.
So once they reached enough distance from the hospital with no one being close by, she did something she has been doing a lot since Yasuo left her with him, she lifted her hand and gently patted Killua who looked frozen not comprehending the situation clearly.
With a gentle caring expression on her face, she told him, "You don't have to be nervous, you can tell me anything, and if I can help I will, ok?"
He looked stunned for a few seconds before he took a deep breath and nodded, her patting was something he started to get used to and her encouraging words were something he really needed, he didn't want to feel like he's using her especially considering that could have some negative consequences on her.
And just like she expected, he said the words she already predicted, "I need your help, I want Nanika to heal my friend please?"
Even with her previous words, he still looked a bit worried since the possibility that she can't grant wishes anymore is possible, perhaps Yasuo forbade her from making requests.
Alluka nodded in understanding already confident in Yasuo's teaching, most humans work by emotions and desires and in Killua's case, it was too obvious. What do his emotions tell? What does he desire? How can he achieve that desire?
She already knows his friend is sick though she didn't see him and she saw his desire to help him yet nothing happened yet meaning they couldn't heal him so its only natural he'll seek the last resort which can absolutely heal him, Nanika.
Alluka seemed thoughtfully for a second going through the process of coming to that conclusion again for future reference and only then did she inform Killua of something he kind of expected.
"I can't, Oni-chan told Nanika not to ask requests anymore and she can't grant wishes because he wished that only he can make wishes, and most importantly, he told me that I can't ever use Nanika's power. However, I can tell him and he will probably help."
And she didn't wait for him to respond as she brought her phone and sent a message to Yasuo with the latter appearing a few seconds later as they're basically in the same city and he directly started patting Alluka who jumped to his arms.
"I know the general idea of what happened so you don't have to explain but in the next months I'll leave Alluka with you, you can't ever ask anything about Nanika or try to know anything about her and most importantly, don't tell anyone about Nanika and I mean no one no matter who that person is to you."
Killua was utterly confused by the sequence of events, 'Does that mean he'll help me? does that mean he'll let Nanika heal Gon?'
He wasn't given any chance to answer before hearing the words that brought hope to his heart, "I'll heal him but just remember my words and don't do anything that can put her in danger."
Yasuo then put Alluka who was quietly dozing off as always down then gently kissed her forehead while saying softly:
"Take care of yourself ok? And remember everything I taught you, I'll be away for a few months. Killua, wait here for about an hour then go inside, he should be healed by that time."
Then he disappeared leaving them still comprehending his words...
