Chapter 263 What's Your Relationship With Netero?

The next afternoon.

Just after Moses had completed the ten thousand swings, he saw Menchi answering a phone call.

A few minutes later…

Menchi hung up the phone and ran over to Moses.

"Master, the Poseidon I ordered is in stock!"

"Is that so?"

Looking at Menchi's excited look, Moses smiled slightly.

Menchi nodded vigorously and exclaimed excitedly: "Yes, yes! I've already instructed the people at the 'Linne Ingredient Market' to deliver Poseidon directly here. It might arrive in two or three days."

"Oh?"

Moses was surprised.

'They also provide door-to-door delivery to such remote places?'

'But considering the price of Poseidon, it's not surprising.'

…

A few days later.

Moses and Menchi came to the beach.

A few hundred meters away on the sea, there was a modern-style ship.

Seeing this highly modern ship, it is inevitable to think of the mast ship, Ellen that brought them here. The two vessels were in opposite directions in terms of their age feel.

This was a common phenomenon in the Hunter x Hunter World.

Moses and Menchi waited on the beach for the delivery of Poseidon.

Later, Moses's attention fell on the leading man.

He has short white hair, a broad forehead, small sunglasses on his face, and a very recognizable hook-shaped nose.

'Morel…'

Through his highly recognizable facial features, Moses recognized the other party's identity.

But what truly confirmed his identity for Moses was the huge smoking pipe slung over Morel's shoulder.

Unexpectedly, the person responsible for delivering Poseidon to the Linne Ingredient Market was none other than Morel, a Single-Star Sea Hunter who had shone brightly in the Chimera Ant Arc in the original work.

Moses was deeply surprised, but suppressed his emotions.

After a while…

Morel, along with several crew members, brought a Poseidon weighing about 700 pounds in front of Moses and Menchi.

Menchi went over to talk to Moro Five, while Moses watched quietly from the side.

It was quite unexpected to meet Morel here, but Moses had no intention of interacting with Morel at this time.

Right now, Morel is taking away the money to buy Poseidon from Menchi.

After completing the delivery, he did not stay any longer and simply left.

Before leaving, he glanced at Moses.

'Does that kid know me?'

A hint of doubt flashed through Morel's heart, but he didn't dwell on it.

Delivering this Poseidon today was just a way for him to make some extra income on the side.

After all, his work is not very profitable, instead, it cost a lot of capital.

What surprised him more was the age of Moses and Menchi.

He didn't expect such youngsters actually splurged on buying such a large Poseidon.

On the beach.

Watching Morel and others leave, Moses and Menchi then transported Poseidon back to their base.

"Master, I've kept that person's contact number. If we need to leave in the future, we can contact him to pick us up."

Menchi said. She placed Poseidon gently on a cattail leaf, and her eyes gleamed.

The trident spear on the head of this Poseidon fish was very outstanding in color, and the deep blue water patterns on its body were also captivating.

The quality was unquestionable, even exceeding expectations.

Menchi was already thinking about how to turn this Poseidon into various delicacies.

Hearing that Menchi had kept Morel's contact information, Moses thought that they really didn't need to worry about leaving Porter Island in the future.

He looked at the Poseidon lying on the cattail leaf, curious about the taste of this deep-sea fish worth hundreds of millions.

With a knife in hand, Menchi prepared to cut open the deep-sea fish they had purchased at a high price.

At this time-

An old woman's voice sounded from nearby.

"The quality of this Poseidon is quite remarkable."

The voice came suddenly and was so close that both Moses and Menchi were startled, reflexively releasing their Aura to cover their bodies.

It's because they hadn't sensed the presence of the owner of the voice at all before she started speaking.

"Who?"

Moses immediately looked towards the source of the voice, and what caught his eyes was a short, very old woman.

Times have carved irreversible wrinkles on the old woman's face, and it had also robbed her eyes of their luster, making them dull and lifeless.

There was no doubt that she is a very old woman.

But it was unknown why she appeared here, and…

The Ayra flowing in the old woman's body was so quiet that Moses instantly thought of Netero.

'Another old monster?'

Moses remained on guard and secretly prepared to use the 100 Hundred-Type Guanyin: First Palm at any moment.

Although he didn't sense any killing intent from this old woman, he could sense the dangerous Aura lurking beneath her calm demeanor.

Menchi also gazed at the suddenly appearing old woman. At first, her expression was as vigilant as Moses', but gradually, it turned into astonishment, shock, and then delight.

"Linne Horsdoeuvre?"

She looked at the old woman with wide eyes.

Hearing this, Moses quickly glanced at Menchi.

He didn't know the old woman, but after Menchi called out the woman's name, he couldn't help but associate it with the Linne Ingredient Market.

'There must be some connection between the two.'

'And judging from Menchi's reaction, whether it was astonishment, shock, or more likely, delight, it seemed more like the kind of surprise one feels when meeting a life idol.'

"…"

The old woman called Linne slowly glanced at Menchi.

She wasn't surprised that Menchi recognized her.

After all, during this period of time, she occasionally came to observe Menchi and Moses, and learned that Menchi was a Gourmet Hunter who had not yet obtained a Hunter License.

But whether it was professional Gourmet Hunters or amateur ones, they would all be aware of her existence.

Because she is the most experienced and prestigious Gourmet Hunter in the world today, and can be said to be standing at the peak.

Withdrawing her gaze, Linne turned to slowly look at Moses.

Originally, she hadn't intended to reveal herself, but seeing a rare deep-sea fish that she had not seen for a long time made her unable to hold back.

Now that she had shown herself, there was a somewhat important question that she could throw out at this moment.

"Young man, what is your relationship with Netero?"

Linne glanced at Moses, who had prepared himself to take action any time in advance, and suddenly asked.

Hearing Linne's sudden question, Moses was slightly startled. While he remained silent and frowned, he pondered in his heart.

Seeing that Moses didn't answer, Linne didn't mind, and she said lightly in a hoarse voice: "Ten thousand sword swings, no more, no less. If you say it's a coincidence, I don't believe it."

"…"

Moses was silent for a moment, and he was basically sure that the other party must be familiar with Netero.

Thinking of this, he still didn't answer, but glanced at Menchi.

Menchi instantly understood. Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she quickly said: "Linne Horsdoeuvre is the best Double-Star Gourmet Hunter in the world."

"Double-Star…"

A piece of information suddenly flashed through Moses's mind.

'It turned out to be her.'

'The oldest Double-Star Gourmet Hunter in the Hunter Association, and also Netero's best friend.'

'No wonder she suddenly asked such question.'

'In that case, there should be no threat...'

Moses looked at Linne, thought for a moment, and calmly said: "I do have a relationship with Netero, but it's not as complicated as you think."

"…"

Linne, upon hearing this, scrutinized Moses closely.
