Law said he had a way, so Biscuit considered it settled.
Capable people often only need a single sentence to make others believe they can do it.
"When are you going to the Dark Continent again? After the book is published?"
While waiting for the TV series to air, Biscuit asked.
Law slightly shook his head, looking at the TV drama playing. "Uncertain when we can go to the Dark Continent again."
"If you want to go, you can set out anytime, right?"
"Yes, but there's someone not as free as me."
"Who?"
"Ging."
Hearing Ging's name, Biscuit was surprised.
'That man indeed was a reliable teammate, no matter which aspect...'
Law didn't wait for Biscuit to ask, he proactively explained, "Ging was tricked once by Netero. They made an 'agreement'. Ging got something from Netero, and Netero demanded Ging could only go to the Dark Continent through official channels."
"..."
Biscuit drooped her eyelids, speechless.
She thinks that Netero's bad habits would never change in his lifetime.
"Before I invited Ging, he was actually always enjoying his journeys, not in a hurry to obtain permission to go to the Dark Continent. So over all these years, of the four major criteria, he hadn't achieved even one."
"But now it's different. He has to keep up with my pace, but due to the 'agreement', he must obtain permission."
"So, during this upcoming period, after I publish the book, I'll assist Ging as quickly as possible to obtain permission. Under the premise of satisfying the 'agreement', he'll go to the Dark Continent with me."
Law softly spoke about the upcoming plan.
"Even though there's a ship he could stow away on, he has to properly buy a ticket. The Chairman truly remains sharp," Biscuit sighed.
"Right? An old guy good at creating trouble," Law said with a smile.
Hearing this, Biscuit smiled knowingly. But such an old guy was the most suitable for that position.
The Hunter Association wasn't an ordinary civil organization. There were many members with high abilities but strange personalities. Only someone like Netero could keep them in line.
After a brief silence, Law suddenly said, "I haven't asked you yet."
"What?"
"Coming along?" Law asked seriously.
Biscuit tore off her facial mask, revealing her sticky, exquisite face. "Need you ask? Someone has to be responsible for restraining your curiosity."
Hearing this, Law raised a hand to scratch his cheek.
"But before setting out for the Dark Continent, you need to reserve some space to prepare Oleya, Kutzding, Beautiful as Flower, and various other brands of skincare products for me," Biscuit very seriously stated her condition.
Law felt helpless. "However much you want, I'll prepare it for you."
He thought that if he got Knov on board later, the space for storing supplies would be very ample, much more convenient than Kuro's space.
Biscuit smiled brightly, suddenly looking toward the hallway where the rooms were. "Will you take Machi with you to the Dark Continent this time?"
"No." Law answered quickly.
"That's right. A common fault of men," Biscuit said.
Law couldn't respond to that sentence, so he chose silence.
The danger level of the Dark Continent was simply too high. How could Law let Machi go along? Moreover, Machi wasn't like him… she didn't have that pursuit to explore the unknown.
Including Buhara. As long as Law believed Buhara didn't have the capability to explore the Dark Continent, no matter how much Buhara pleaded, he wouldn't agree.
Just then, the TV started playing the idol drama Biscuit was following.
Five minutes were up. Ickshonpe kept his promise.
Biscuit's attention was immediately captured by the TV, eagerly wanting to see if the following plot would indeed be as Law said: the male lead and second male lead appear to help the female lead regain her footing, then immediately compete for her favor.
In that instant, Biscuit's eyes sparkled!
Seeing this, Law shook his head, picked up his water cup, and headed toward the room.
Passing through the hallway, he soon returned to his room.
The room had a night light on, dim yellow, soft light covering the bed area.
Machi lay on her side on the bed, back facing the door.
A corner of the thin blanket fell away, revealing Machi's smooth, beautiful back and the faintly visible curve of her buttocks.
Under the soft light, traces of sweat on Machi's back were faintly visible, remnants of the earlier intense exercise.
Law closed the door, walked over quietly to the bedside, gently placed the water cup on the nightstand, then got into bed carefully, embracing Machi's slender, flawless body from behind.
One arm encircled the soft curves… warmth transmitted through their close contact.
Machi wasn't asleep. When Law embraced her, she immediately turned over, her completely nude body pressing tightly against Law's, squinting her eyes, emitting a lazy, cat-like low moan.
"Not asleep yet."
Law felt the warmth from Machi's soft body, gently stroking her satin-smooth back with his hand.
"Woken up by your door opening."
Machi murmured softly and gave a slight yawn.
The earlier 'exercise' had already tired her somewhat. Being woken by Law's very low door-opening sound was just due to her long-nurtured habits.
"Sorry."
Law apologized.
"Hmm~"
Machi just hummed softly, her face resting on Law's chest, wanting to fall asleep like this.
Hearing Machi's somewhat alluring low moan, Law couldn't help but react.
Feeling the sudden heat below, Machi's closed eyes immediately opened. Then she immediately felt Law's right hand wandering over her body.
She reflexively let out a moan, then grabbed Law's hand, stopping his next actions.
"No more."
A flush appeared on Machi's cheeks. With her strong personality, she couldn't utter words of surrender.
"Hmm, then rest."
Hearing this, Law overcame his desire, withdrawing his restless hand, instead holding Machi.
Machi sighed in relief, adjusting her position slightly so Law could hold her more comfortably.
Several minutes passed. Machi noticed the heat and hardness below hadn't subsided. She couldn't help but look up at Law. Although Law's eyes were closed, she knew he wasn't asleep yet.
"Is it uncomfortable?" Machi asked with difficulty.
"No, sleep."
Law opened his eyes, stroking Machi's hair, a classic case of lying with eyes open.
Machi obviously knew Law was lying. She thought of a certain method that could help Law, immediately feeling very conflicted.
"O-Otherwise, I, I'll use..."
With her strong, assertive personality, even with all her strength, she couldn't completely utter that sentence.
"I know you're tired. Don't think too much, sleep."
Law lowered his head to kiss Machi's forehead, couldn't help but think of the earlier conversation with Biscuit.
Regardless of responsibility or not-
A place like the Dark Continent was truly too dangerous. Even if Machi wanted to come along, he absolutely wouldn't agree.
Machi didn't know Law's thoughts at this moment. She carefully felt Law's gentle, considerate intentions, a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, slowly closing her eyes.
