"Could it be that, according to the process, we shouldn't first replenish the missing members of the Zodiacs?"
Pariston, with a beaming smile, gave people an even more dangerous feeling.
Cheadle focused all her attention on thinking about the purpose of Pariston proposing these two things at this time.
"Since you've said it, then we should indeed replenish the members of the Zodiacs. You have recommended candidates, right?"
'Is he testing me?' Pariston smiled. "How about we let Mr. Loki join the Zodiacs?"
Loki joining the Zodiacs? Was that possible?
Cheadle's expression changed. If it had been before, this proposal wouldn't have been able to pass, but now it really might be able to pass.
Because Loki had resolved the Chimera Ant incident. And had shown all the Hunters in the world his unparalleled power.
The current Loki had almost taken over Chairman Netero's position among Nen users.
If they announced to the outside world that Loki had joined the Zodiacs, she believed that the Hunters would be very supportive.
Even though Loki had committed many crimes, just the Chimera Ant incident was enough to offset his crimes.
Thinking of this, Cheadle was somewhat tempted.
Being able to have Loki join the Zodiacs would, on the one hand, allow Ging to continue to guide Loki onto the right path.
At the same time, it could also greatly strengthen the prestige of the Hunter Association.
But just as Cheadle was about to open her mouth to express her agreement, she suddenly noticed a problem.
That was that after the Zodiac members were replenished, the next step would be the election of the new chairman.
If Loki joined the Zodiacs at this time, wouldn't that mean that he wouldn't have the opportunity to become the chairman?
It wasn't that Loki had to become the chairman. But Loki would lose the qualifications to run for chairman.
If Loki became a Zodiac, then the credit for exterminating the Chimera Ants would make up for the crimes he had committed before.
The chairman election wouldn't have his share. Credit was something that would be offset as long as a reward was given, no matter if the reward was worthy or not.
If Loki couldn't participate in the chairman election, then Pariston would be very likely to become the next chairman.
'So that's how it is. Pariston, you're after the position of chairman?'
Raising her head, Cheadle looked at Pariston faintly. "Loki can't join the Zodiacs."
"Oh! Why?"
"There are many reasons. The Association hasn't decided how to handle his affairs yet. How can we let him easily join the Zodiacs?"
"What a pity. Then does Cheadle have any good candidates?"
Cheadle only thought for a moment before raising her head and looking at Pariston. "Morel is very good. He also shone brightly in this Chimera Ant extermination operation. It's enough for him to join the Zodiacs."
"Morel?" From an objective and fair point of view, Morel did have the qualifications to be a member of the Zodiacs.
However! Pariston's eyes were full of smiles. He didn't think that Morel would agree to become a member of the Zodiacs.
But that wasn't important.
What was important was that the power in the Association was now divided into two, with one half in his hands as the vice-chairman, and the other half in Cheadle's hands.
And because the Zodiacs supported Cheadle, Pariston was even a step below Cheadle.
Now, there were two vacant members in the Zodiacs. Cheadle had recommended one person, so Pariston could naturally recommend one person as well.
"Morel is good, then let Morel join the Zodiacs too!" Pariston actually agreed directly, making Cheadle feel very strange.
"Then I'll recommend another person too!" Pariston narrowed his eyes. "This person is also very good!"
"Chris."
Cheadle asked loudly.
Chris? Wasn't that the guy who was self-righteous, almost died as a result, and caused Ging and the others' plans to be completely disrupted?
Based on these points alone, Cheadle instinctively wanted to reject Pariston's proposal.
But once she refuted Pariston, then Pariston would definitely refute Morel's joining as well.
If they continued to stalemate like this, it wouldn't be good for anyone.
Compared to Pariston, Cheadle would have to bear much more pressure at that time.
After the Chimera Ant incident, the election of the new chairman was imminent.
It couldn't be delayed. Biting her teeth, "Fine!" Cheadle agreed to Pariston's proposal.
The candidates for replenishing the Zodiac members were determined just like that.
Leaving Cheadle's office, Pariston shook his head boredly. "How boring."
His purpose had been achieved.
This time, he wasn't trying to get Loki to join the Zodiacs from beginning to end. He was trying to get Chris to join the Zodiacs.
Pariston also understood that he wouldn't be able to stay in the Association for long.
He needed someone to take over his position. Someone who was too smart wouldn't do.
Instead, someone who was obedient would be enough.
Chris! A jumping clown.
He should have been discredited this time. His clown-like behavior had been seen by all the Hunters.
From now on, he would probably only be able to withdraw from everyone's sight and live quietly.
But Pariston had a way to make Chris, who looked like a clown, transform into another image.
For example, courageous and fearless, even if his strength was weak, he dared to launch a challenge against unknown, powerful creatures.
A leader of the new generation of Hunters!
As for the candidate for chairman... Pariston actually hoped that Loki would take this position.
Because even though he had only contacted him a few times, Pariston knew very well.
Loki. He was definitely not the kind of person who was good at managing a large organization.
In terms of combat power, in terms of the training of Nen... Loki's talent was uniquely blessed.
Even Pariston had to admit that. Loki was an out-and-out freak.
But managing a large organization wasn't something that anyone with strong combat power was suitable to be a leader.
Returning to his room, Pariston sent out a short message.
Soon, a new message appeared on the information website.
Making the world, which had already been shaken by the century war between Loki and the Chimera Ant King, tremble again.
Loki grabbed Morel's phone.
Looking at the text displayed on it, he read it word by word.
But before long, Loki felt incredibly ashamed.
He had never felt so ashamed before.
The article on the phone was information posted by a Hunter who claimed to be proficient in analytical abilities.
Starting from Loki being valued by Netero and personally taught the training of Nen abilities,
it analyzed the 'hidden' truth behind every sensation that Loki had caused.
From the first time that Loki had been wanted by the Association, the person analyzing it pointed out that this was completely unreasonable.
Was Loki really wanted just because he had destroyed a building and caused too much impact on society?
There must be an unknown secret hidden behind it, a secret that even the chairman had to compromise with.
The people who saw this felt that it made a lot of sense.
"Loki solved the Phantom Troupe, this gang of thieves who had been rampant and unscrupulous all along, but instead of receiving any credit, he was wanted."
"Thinking about it now, there are indeed a lot of problems!"
After that, bounty hunters and criminal hunters were dispatched to exterminate Loki.
Loki had killed so many people, but it was actually said to be self-defense.
The things that happened later were even more outrageous.
Attacking the Hunter Association, Loki just wanted to ask Chairman Netero about the truth in person.
Killing the Zodiac members was an act of anger after learning the truth. It could be forgiven!
Seeing this, Loki was speechless. This could also be forgiven?
This was a completely thorough article that helped Loki whitewash his image.
This article, which had no clues, shouldn't have attracted people's attention.
But in this special period, at this special time, it actually made most of the Hunters feel that it was true.
They believed that the truth of the matter was like this.
As for why people would rather believe in something that couldn't provide any real evidence,
the fundamental reason was still because of Loki.
The strength that Loki had shown, the terrifying power, made the Hunters feel worried.
They were afraid. However, if the situation was different, if Loki was a good person, a kind person, worthy of trust...
