Chapter 30: Meeting with a Powerhouse

When Soren woke up the next day he was called to gathering room for potential candidates. When he entered multiple people started to stare at him, some even mumbled words like "who is this kid?" or "Did someone set us up as fools?" the people who said these things thought they could not be heard but Soren heard it all.

[So… where is the Old Man? Why did he call us here?]: soren

Some of the people spit out the drink that had when they heard Soren say such bold words. And that he was called here as well.

[Quit bluffing kid… you need to scamper out of here before the higher ups get here, you don't want to get in trouble do you?]: ???

Soren looks at the person who said that, he didn't recognize them.

[Why do you think I'm not supposed to be here?]: soren

When Soren said this someone he did recognize spoke up.

[We are here to be picked as the next Chairman… Even if we didn't want it in the first place]: ???

The person who spoke was none other than Ging Freecss, Gon's dad.

[So look who finally shows up to something, I haven't met you, but I know a lot about you. At least as much as your son does… Ging]: soren

[You know my son? How is he?]: ging

[Dying… He sacrificed his Nen to attain power, now he is in critical condition]: soren

[Oh… So he is hurt? Well at least he has friend there to support him… Also, if you are his friend why are you not there?]: ging

[Because I was called here… And you are surprisingly calm for being his father… Why are you not worried?]: soren

[Because he's my son… If he died I would be sad… But because he is my son I know he will pull through]: ging

[...*Sigh* you must really not know what state he is in… Let me show you, watch carefully]: soren

As Soren said so he called for someone to come into the room, Soren had prepared this person beforehand. When the person entered he carried with him a couple of photos, when the photos were placed down people started to grab and look at them.

[This is Gon right now… these were taken approximately 3 hours ago, do you really think something like this is okay to be calm about?]: soren

Ging grabbed the photo and looked at it, when he took a look, his face changed just a little.

[I believe he will pull through and get better… otherwise, why would you still be here instead of being with him?]: ging

Soren thought to himself when Ging stated this.

'He really is an idiot, but his instincts are spot on. He could tell that somehow, or some way Gon will be okay'

[I had my brother Killua go home to get our little sister, she has a specific ability that will help heal Gon]: soren

[So there is no need for me to worry then right?]: ging

[Shut up, you really are an idiot, same as Gon, I told him not to do anything rash but now he is hurt and in the hospital]: soren

Ging broke from his gloating look after his instinct about Gon being okay was right, when Soren told him to shut up and called him and Idiot.

[So… why did Netero call you here then squirt?]: ging

[The name is Soren… and I am here same as all of you]: soren

Everyone in the room had a face of shock except Ging.

[Th-there's no way, how can you be here to be a candidate for the next Chairmen?]: girl hunter

[Uh, because I am a 3-Star Hunter same as you and I Exterminated all of the Ants with minimal help]: soren

Everyone's mouths dropped at this point, even Ging.

[Well… I came to say what I wanted, now tell Netero or whoever, when they get here that I will be dropping from the Candidacy]: soren

[Hey! Unfair, I want to drop as well]: ging

[No… Ging must stay, this kid can go because we don't know him]: hunter

[Cya later then… I will be going to see Gon now]: soren

When Soren left the room he walked past Netero who gave him a smile and continued to the room that Soren left.

[Looks like he does not care if I drop from being a candidate]: soren

After Soren left the building he made his way to the place Gon was being healed. When he entered he was warned that Gon might not pull through for much longer.

[It will be fine… I have my brother going to get something to help]: soren

[But Mr. Zoldyck… We advise that no outside help be used as it might make the patient react in a horrible way, possibly killing the patient… Will you still use this means?]: doctor

[Yes… Keep him under constant surveillance. If something happens, contact me immediately]: soren

[Yes Sir… I will notify you immediately is something happens]: doctor

After that Soren had gone back to his hotel and took a nap. When he fell asleep something strange happened, he began to float in a dark room.

[What the fuck happened?... Where am I, is this me transferring to a new world?]: soren

Soren did not know what was going on, he even tried to call Sakura, But to no avail.

[Did I die again? If so what did I die from?]: soren

As Soren is pondering over what has happened a faint voice could be heard coming from behind him.

[Young one… You will be the last person to speak with me]: ???

As Soren turned around to meet with the faint voice he seen an overgrown shadow, when Soren saw this he felt powerful pressure emitting from it.

[Good… It looks like you are worthy to meet with me… I am the strongest person in this world… I have been in this world for 300 years, but sadly I have reached an age that my body can't keep up with me anymore. I will soon die from Old age, I used the last of my power to search for a successor of my power… And here you are… My heir]: ???

[... Do you even know me Old man? What if I just kill you right now… then your life's work will be ruined]: soren

[Ohoho… Such a rowdy brat… When I reached 160 years old I met God… He gave me the power to see Truth… When I look at you all I see is a 34-35 year old man… and you don't seem to be from this world]: ???

'This guy is dangerous… I must kill him now'

As Soren thought this, the man spoke again.

[Ohoho… Don't worry… I am at death's door. but, before I go I want to give this power to you… My name is Zenkai I am the strongest being in this world… and now I leave all that to you my heir]: zenkai

As Zenkai spoke those words Soren blacked out and heard Sakura boot up.

{HOST HAS ACQUIRED (Eyes of Truth) DOES HOST WISH TO INTEGRATE INTO THE BODY?}

[Fuck Yes! Integrate please… Thank you old man]: soren
