Nothing You Do Changes Anything [Edited]
*Click*
"And now sir?"
"Please click on the bartender", Rex said to a lady.
Yes, that's right, once Netero told Rex that the boss was not a bad person, Rex desired to do his own investigation.
For that he needed the Hunter website, but his EN can't differentiate the colors of the pixels since he's blind, so he needed assistance.
The lady helping him sat on the chair while he stood behind her and gave her instructions.
[What kind of Information would you like?], Said the bartender in the computer, as he polished a glass mug.
"What does it say now?", Asked Rex.
"Um, are you sure this is the right website, Mr. Hunter?"
"Oh, don't worry about it, just tell me already."
"Ehm... First of all, contacts with other Hunters, then information about individuals-"
"Yeah, please click on that one."
"Roger that Sir... Um, what name should I type in there?"
"Naiki."
"And the last name?"
"Hmm... He's a Hunter, write that in the details and specifics, there has to be something like that when you search for people."
"Oh, I see it!"
After she typed in the name with the special information, the Bartneder started talking again. [It will cost 50 million Jenny.]
Rex hit the enter key.
Suddenly a golden light came from the computer and Rex...
And Rex was suddenly in a bar, the same bar he has seen in the anime.
'It's really the Hunters' Tavern!'
(Small reminder how the bartender looks like ->)
But before Rex could further analyze the tavern, the bartender just started talking. "The 38 year old Naiki Cai is a member of the honorable Jappon Cais tribe.
Every seven years, the families of the Cais tribe gather their kids, who range in age from 5 to 12, and only the best of the bunch, is taught Nen.
It is fairly certain that Naiki was not the chosen one, since he did not have Nen prior to the Hunter exam, which he completed at the age of 15.
He calls his Hatsu ☆Saisoku☆ and nothing is really known about it, even it's abilities remain a mystery to us."
"..."
"..."
"And further...?"
"Further information will cost you 1 billion Jenny."
Rex mouth was wide open. "1 b-billion Jenny? That's almost all my savings...
Tsk, take my money."
Rex took his card and gave it to the bartender to scan. "Thank you for your purchase!"
Then he received his card back.
"The person who taught Naiki Nen, who recruited him and gives him daily orders till this day, was at that point in time, the 1 star Hunter, Aziel.
Despite the fact that both are now 2 Star Hunter, Naiki still listens to Aziel's orders. The orders can appear very random from time to time, but they never break any of the Hunter Code's ten principles."
'If he still continues to obey Aziel's commands... Doesn't that only indicate that he regards this Aziel as his superior, in this case his Boss...? Maybe this Aziel is the Boss...'
"What does Naiki also refer to that Aziel as?", Asked Rex, handing over his card again, hoping it wouldn't cost too much.
But the bartender just kept on talking. "He calls him Boss, but to find out more about Aziel I would need 100 Billion Jenny."
'From 1 to 100 Billion...'
"It's okay", Rex replied. "Just tell me how to get out of this tavern."
"We hope to meet again!" said the bartender.
Suddenly a golden light had enveloped Rex's body.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Haha just a little joke)
"Sir Hunter!", The woman who just helped him with the computer shook his body.
"Huh...? What am I doing on the floor?", Rex muttered as he straightened up.
"You collapsed so suddenly. However, a kind man who just so happened to be behind you saved you from the fall!", She pointed at the man.
Rex stood up and shook the man's hand.... "Thank you ver...?!"
But this turned out to be a big mistake, which became clear only after he analyzed the person with his EN the second after he gave him his hand.
"No problem, young sir!"
"..."
"..."
"W-why are you here Naiki?!"

『Exactly one month prior』
After his conversation with Netero was over, and Netero assured him that these guys weren't dangerous and wouldn't do evil to him, there was still a little doubt in Rex's heart.
{Meet me in exactly one month, in Yorknew City, Naiki}
That's what the note said.
"Huh, if Netero really believes that they aren't evil... Then they wouldn't do anything bad to me if I wouldn't come...", He looked at the note again. "Besides, didn't I even agree to all of this!"
Rex threw the pearl necklace on the floor and crushed it with his feet.
The following month, Rex flew to the Federation of Ochima, the farthest land to Yorknew City.
And right there he had his body checked by a Nen exorcist, from whom Netero had told him about. The Exorcist had costed Rex a lot of money tho.
However, once the Exorcist had completed the analysis, he found out that there was no Nen curse, nor a Nen tracking device attached to Rex, or that there is any evidence of someone observing or stalking him.
After the analysis, Rex was a bit relieved and gave him the money... Even though it was a waste of money...
But knowing that everything was fine with him was better for his heart than the money.
However, the exorcist offered Rex the contact information of another Nen user who had a Hatsu suited to get a lot of information through fingerprints before he bid farewell to him.
After a week, Rex reached this Nen user, and handed him the note, which he kept in a plastic bag. It was the note he got from Sanbica in the hospital.
However, all he discovered were his own fingerprints and those of Sanbica, who was now identified as Sanbica Norton. Which to be honest was not very helpful to him.
Of course, he also did plenty of training to get his muscles back, possibly even more.
He also trained Zetsu in his sleep and used Ren daily.
But was aware that he couldn't pull any more information with the help of Nen User...
Which is why he headed to the Ochima Desert to create his ☆Spare Body☆ deep in the ground.
Why he didn't do it a couple of weeks earlier?
Because his Hatsu increases the hostility of the people around him a bit... Which could have made the meetings with these Nen Users a bit problematic.
After leaving the desert and returning to civilization, he headed straight to a public library to check out the Hunter website, which was his last remaining hope for information.
On this day, Naiki should have been in the other side of the world...
He should have awaited Rex outside the casino, in Yorknew...
He could never have stood in front of Rex... But he did...
"W-why are you here Naiki?!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmm... I hope this has shown you that no matter what Rex does, he won't get away from these guys....
Did you like the chapter?
And what did you think of the flashback? It was the first one I did here...
(Well, here's a map that shows how far Rex actually was from the 'agreed' meeting point-->)
(Btw does anyone know how to write in cursive on webnovel?)
