"Mm... In this incident, there are indeed some unreasonable parts."
Mizaistom Nana hesitated slightly, but still opened his mouth and said this.
But he still put a layer of protection on himself: "But I have not personally handled the case, and I haven't seen the files, so I can't make a reckless judgment."
"What I say is only a deduction based on the legal articles of that country."
"Perhaps in this case, there are some hidden circumstances or special situations that require special treatment."
Not sealing the statement too firmly was exactly what these people skilled in legal articles, known for their rigor, were best at doing.
"No problem, we'll just go take a look together then."
Luke smiled, completely unconcerned. "Mr. Mizaistom, you just need to check and confirm the procedures and steps."
Mizaistom Nana: "... Um, you can just call me Mizaistom."
Being called Mr. Mizaistom made him quite uncomfortable.
This was the first time someone had addressed him like that.
"Alright, Mr. Mizaistom, no problem, Mr. Mizaistom."
Luke nodded and responded casually.
Mizaistom Nana: "..."
Alright then, call him whatever you want.
Then he saw Luke's calm gaze turn toward Ging Freecss: "Afterwards, I also need you to help me look it over."
"So we can avoid certain people intentionally creating trouble, using this matter to make an issue of it."
"Don't worry..."
Ging Freecs smiled, a rare occurrence, and that unshaven face instead gave off the air of a particularly mature man: "I've experienced this kind of thing many times. When it comes to handling such situations, I'm the most experienced. Just leave it to me."
"Alright."
Luke replied with just this short sentence, then raised his chin slightly at the group: "You all continue."
"I'll wait until you finish, then we will talk about my matter."
With that, he folded his arms and waited for the group to continue discussing whatever they needed to.
From beginning to end, he simply had not paid Pariston any attention.
This was also seen by everyone present, making the strange color in their eyes even stronger.
Although everyone here did not really give Pariston much face, because of Pariston's consistent underhanded style, and his undeniably practical methods and ability, even if they were annoyed, they wouldn't do anything too excessive.
Someone like Luke, who came in and didn't respond to Pariston at all, even outright ignoring him, the other professional hunters present would definitely not be as bold.
But they could also clearly see that Luke didn't care for Pariston at all.
He didn't even hide his hostility toward him.
As for that... The other professional hunters were instead happy to see it.
They were uncomfortable with Pariston, and in terms of methods and ability, they seemed unable to match him; thus, they were unable to do anything to him.
Aside from Ging Freecss, basically no one could make Pariston react.
Even the extremely senior professional hunter, Botobai Gigante, couldn't achieve that.
Let alone people like them, they simply weren't qualified.
But now, with Luke's arrival here, everything was different.
They could clearly see what Luke's attitude toward Pariston was like.
And he also adopted an extremely distinct method of dealing with him.
Not to mention anything else, at least he wasn't afraid of Pariston and seemed to have considerable skill.
Toward such a figure who had just recently emerged in the past few years, they still felt he was very mysterious.
If he possessed such unpredictable methods and was willing to confront Pariston head-on, this was exactly the situation they were delighted to see.
After all, no one wanted to see Pariston go unchecked in the Hunter Association, dominating everything alone.
No one was able to restrict him, letting him do as he pleased.
"At the very least, there needs to be someone able to oppose Pariston..."
Those from the rational camp, Cheadle Yorkshire, Mizaistom Nana, and the others, all had such thoughts.
Their goal was simple, just one thing: They could not let Pariston fully grasp the discourse power and initiative of the Zodiac Twelve.
Perhaps they couldn't personally go against Pariston, or they had their concerns.
Or they simply believed they were not his match, and opposing him wouldn't achieve good results.
For these kinds of reasons, everyone present didn't reject Luke's arrival.
The primary reason enabling all of this was Chairman Netero.
He sat there calmly, both hands tucked within his robe sleeves, leisurely watching this situation.
More precisely, he was watching Luke's performance, the scene where Luke didn't put Pariston in his eyes at all.
Chairman Netero's gaze revealed an interested look.
The other Zodiacs: "..."
They were all extremely familiar with Chairman Netero's current look.
Although he loved to play around normally, he was never sloppy with serious matters.
Especially regarding the current issue about establishing the upper-level structure of the Hunter Association.
It concerned the entire Hunter Association and all professional hunters, so there was no room for negligence.
Chairman Netero did not intervene or stop Luke's actions.
Instead, he watched everything with such an expression.
This alone clearly showed his attitude toward Luke.
Furthermore, Luke had been brought here into the conference room personally by Beans...
What that represented was self-evident.
Since Chairman Netero had already acknowledged Luke, that was equivalent to Chairman Netero vouching for him.
Even if Luke were, on the surface, a heinous murderer, they wouldn't say much more.
Not to mention merely the possibility of him being connected to the Phantom Troupe.
These professional hunters in this meeting room greatly trusted Chairman Netero's judgment and choices…
Even the most senior professional hunter, Botobai, although he had some opinions, still chose to reserve judgment, quietly watching the situation develop.
As for Pariston, who had been completely ignored by Luke, he did not show any particular reaction.
He simply continued smiling while sitting there and remaining silent.
But a dog that bites doesn't bark; the quieter he stayed, the more people felt he was brewing some scheme.
Fortunately, just as everyone was calculating things in their minds, Chairman Netero finally made a move.
Or rather, he spoke: "The reason I called everyone here this time is mainly to confirm the structure of our Hunter Association's upper-level leadership."
Chairman Netero lightly cleared his throat: "I previously reported it to the V5, and the V5 agreed."
"In addition, our association's internal review committee was also persuaded by me through reasoning and emotion, and they all agreed."
The Hunter Association's review committee, in theory, was responsible for determining whether decisions of the association, big or small, could be smoothly implemented.
