Up to chapter 76 is available at my Patreon. com/0DayDream0
===========
Botobai, full name Botobai Gigante, codename, Dragon.
Triple-Star Terrorist Hunter, prosecutor, and military analyst.
He is also the most straightforward among the Zodiac Twelve and is closest to President Netero in both reputation and strength.
The Zodiacs, also known as the Zodiac Twelve, are the twelve hunters whose abilities are recognized by President Netero.
When he was busy, he entrusted them with the managing of the Hunter Association. When he was free, Netero treated them as playful opponents.
Each of these people was given a codename based on the Twelve Zodiac, and these people who were completely devoted to President Netero were willing to change their names in order to match the codenames.
They even changed their attire.
Of course, there are some exceptions.
For example, Pariston Hill, who is also the Vice Chairman of the Hunter Association and with the codename Rat.
He is Beyond's spy in the Hunter Association.
He's very keen on ruining other people's plans and enjoys the process of competing with others and frustrating them.
He will feel happy only when you're sad.
He is one of the only two people who did not change his appearance and name to be related to the animal he represents.
The other one is Gon's biological father, Ging Freecss.
Because he is the only member among the twelve zodiac signs who opposes Netero. Netero wants to have an opponent of the type he is least good at dealing with by his side.
So, two years ago, he became part of the Zodiac Twelve.
He did not disappoint Netero's expectations and caused all kinds of trouble for Netero in order to remove him from the position of Zodiac before Netero died.
To him, Netero is his opponent in the game, and causing trouble for him is part of the game.
After Pariston became the Vice Chairman, many dark events occurred in the Hunter Association.
For example, 18 hunters went missing, an annual average that is 10 times higher than before he took office.
This time, the very controversial Togari was arranged to serve as the examiner of the Hunter Exam, which was intended to cause trouble for the association.
"Is that so."
Netero thought for a moment: "If I remember correctly."
"Lan, it seems like he's a member of a mafia now?"
"Um."
Mr. Beans nodded. "He was born in Meteor City and then was recruited by the Nostrade family and became the leader of the guard team."
After taking out the magical bean in the Heavens Arena, Mr. Beans finds out Lan's information without Netero's instructions.
"Another one from Meteor City? Wow, interesting."
Netero laughed; no one knew what he was thinking of. "Let's just follow the normal process first."
He made the decision with a wave of his hand.
On the other side, at Ralfa Royal School.
"This number looks better to me."
Lan took the number plate 251 with a smile and thanked the security staff: "Thank you very much."
Holding the new number plate, Lan actually walked into the official venue of this year's Hunter Exam.
This is the huge sports playground of the Ralfa Royal School.
Many candidates have already found this position and are sitting here.
"There are still quite a few acquaintances."
Looking at those familiar and vivid faces, a smile slowly appeared on Lan's lips.
Of course, the most important thing is that the blind boxes with white light around them are so attractive!!
"One, two, three..."
Lan silently counted the number of blind boxes, and then, in an instant, he was attracted by a blue light.
Blue luster, Uncommon level blind box!
A character with this level of status and influence, similar to Neon, seems to be the most popular character in this Hunter Exam…
"Are you new here?"
An uncle wearing a blue vest jacket and with a comb-like hairstyle came over with a simple smile on his face.
"This should be your first time taking the Hunter exam, right?"
The square-nosed, short man asked in a simple manner: "I have never seen your face in previous Hunter Exams."
"Yes, this is my first time attending."
Lan also smiled at the familiar person in front of him:
"So next, should I ask questions like 'In the past, Uncle, you have participated in the Hunter Exam before, right?' to get into the rhythm of your conversation and let you lead me around?"
"Well..."
Rookie Killer Tonpa's face, which was originally smiling because of Lan's first words during his first participation, instantly froze.
"Thank you for coming to me, though."
Lan patted him on the shoulder and said: "This proves that my hiding ability is pretty good."
"Otherwise, even the Rookie Killer, Tonpa, who is always steady, very good at reading people's expressions, and able to identify danger signals, wouldn't have failed to notice my abnormality and come directly to me."
Some sweat gradually appeared on Tonpa's fat face.
"Uh, it seems I interrupted you."
Realizing that he might have hit a wall, Tonpa quietly put away the powerful laxative drink that he had not yet taken out of his arms.
Just as he was about to move away, he found that the hand on his shoulder seemed to have turned into steel.
He simply pressed his body to the spot, making him unable to move at all.
"I'm actually quite curious…"
Lan spoke slowly.
Under Tonpa's gaze, whose honesty and simplicity had faded away, instead, it turned pale and revealed a wretched look, he pointed towards a corner in front of him.
"You should have come before him, right?"
Lan glanced at the number plate No. 25 on Tonpa's chest and then glanced at the number plate No. 33 on the chest of a poker clown figure in the corner.
"As a Rookie Killer, have you ever talked to him?"
