Gourmet Hunter (HxH Fanfic)

When it comes to individuals, Nen is ultimately a limit that is difficult for ordinary people to cross.

Although they had an absolute advantage in numbers and the combined power of guns and rocket launchers was formidable enough, Law took less than a minute after appearing to kill over a hundred people on the spot, causing the rest to be frightened out of their wits.

Among the sixty or so who abandoned their weapons and fled, the nine Mafia's leaders were included. Their habitual tendency to stand back had saved their lives, though it was only temporary.

They ran out of the castle-like mansion with almost desperate fear, as if there was something extremely terrifying inside the building.

The five people who came here after hearing the young man's orders were very surprised when they saw this scene.

Based on their judgment, the Mafia Alliance with the rocket launchers their boss provided should have already wipe out Barney's remnants, taken the mansion, and begun looting spoils.

However, the facts happening before their eyes were completely different. The Mafia's members, who ran out of the mansion, all had fear on their faces, and they looked as if they wished they had an extra leg as they ran.

Through the equipment carried by his subordinates, the live feed of the scene was transmitted back to a certain hotel.

The young man sitting on the sofa was also surprised when he saw this scene.

Clack!

Except for the middle-aged leader who did not take any action, the other four men directly raised their submachine guns and aimed at the fleeing Mafia's members. They would open fire decisively as soon as they received the order.

The Mafia's members, who was scared to death by Law, finally ran out of the mansion. Even though they saw the battle formation of the five people outside, they had no intention of stopping.

All they wanted now was to get away from the calamity behind them, and not even a line of armed individuals could suppress that urge.

Seeing that the panic-stricken Mafia's members showed no intention of halting, the middle-aged man's face darkened. When he was about to order his companions to incapacitate them, something strange happened.

After running more than ten steps at full speed, the fleeing Mafia's members suddenly began to stagger and collapse one after another.

Before they hit the ground, their terror-stricken faces contorted to near grotesqueness.

The sight of them dropping soundlessly to the ground left the four men with guns momentarily dumbfounded.

The middle-aged man, who is a Nen User, turned pale. When the feeling Mafia's members fell inexplicably, he sensed a wave of Aura emanating from the mansion, a force so overwhelming that he couldn't possibly contend with it.

Meanwhile, the Virus Hunter hiding in the dark also sensed the wave of Aura coming from the mansion, and a solemn look appeared on her face beneath the mask.

Just from this wave of Aura and the scene of more than sixty people falling to the ground for no apparent reason, she can judge that the unknown Nen User in the mansion is very powerful, far beyond the middle-aged man's level.

'Should I give up…'

The Virus Hunter looked hesitant.

Hunters rarely abandoned their prey, often employing all possible means to obtain it. Originally, the Virus Hunter's only obstacle was the seemingly unimpressive middle-aged man, but now, an unknown powerhouse had appeared.

After hesitating for a moment, her thirst for the mysterious virus won out, and this Virus Hunter, whose face remained mostly hidden except for her eyes, did not want to just give up and continued to wait and see.

Her goal was only the virus and its related data, and she had no intention of harming anyone.

While the Virus Hunter decided to stay, the middle-aged man decided to evacuate without much hesitation.

"Something is wrong..." However, before he could utter the word 'retreat', Law, who is unarmed, had already walked out of the mansion and walked toward them.

The four subordinates, who are already on edge from the bizarre events, immediately pointed their guns at Law who walked out of the mansion.

"Kill him."

At this time, an indifferent male voice came from their earpieces. It was the young man in the hotel and the boss of these five people.

He was not present, nor did he know Nen, so he couldn't grasp the oppressive presence felt by the middle-aged man.

No matter how strange the scene before his eyes is, no matter who the young man walking out of the mansion is, in order to eliminate the uneasiness, he has to get rid of the other party as soon as possible.

"Don't!"

Upon hearing the boss's command, the middle-aged man's heartbeat accelerated sharply. He immediately tried to stop his companions, but it was too late.

The four people had already pulled their triggers, and along with the sound of gunfire, numerous bullets fired towards Law.

"The last five, huh..."

When Law walked out of the mansion, he had already withdrawn his Aura Domain. When the bullets flew towards him, he once again suspended them in mid-air right in front of him.

The four men emptied their magazines, only to watch in stunned disbelief as every bullet froze eerily in midair before Law.

Law extended his hand toward the hovering bullets, and Aura gushed out from his palm, pushing the bullet to shoot towards the five people at the front at lightning speed.

The four gunmen didn't even have time to react before they were riddled with over a hundred bullets and their bodies turned into a hornet's nest, killing them instantly.

No matter what, the middle-aged man was still a Nen User, so he been more alert. The moment Law extended his hand, he quickly grabbed one of the green cases and crouched down, attempting to shield himself with it from the bullets.

However, when the bullet hit the case, despair immediately filled the middle-aged man's eyes.

Those thoughts, which were faster than bullets, emerged from his head and told him one undeniable truth: 'I'm dead.'

The heavy, solid case was pierced effortlessly by the bullets, which then embedded themselves into the middle-aged man's Aura-clad body.

"Pfft…!"

As the bullets struck, the middle-aged man's body convulsed before succumbing to the same fate as his companions, riddled with holes and collapsing to the ground.

Interestingly, the bullets that were fired back were not facing them with the pointed tip, but with the flat bottom. However, it was able to penetrate the box, showing that it had considerable penetrating power.

Thump.

The seemingly heavy case fell to the ground faster than the middle-aged man's body, making a dull sound as it shattered.

The G2 Virus stored in the case spilled out, and the moment it came into contact with the air, it immediately transformed into a colorless gas and floated in the air.

Law did not realize this, and slowly walked towards the five corpses that were riddled with bullets.

'These seemed to be the last batch of enemies.'

"Don't go near the bodies."

At this time, a high, clear, and distinctly female voice came from the bushes on one side.

Hearing the voice, Law's eyes changed and he instinctively stopped in his tracks. Before the voice appeared, he did not sense that there were other people in the yard.

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a girl of similar height to him, who was completely covered with only a pair of eyes visible. Judging by her voice and height, she didn't seem to be very old.

"What do you mean?" Law turned slightly at this person of unknown origin, with vigilance in his eyes.

"The thing in that case is a virus!" The girl said anxiously.

Hearing the girl's words, Law's face changed slightly, but he did not move.

"Stay back, will you?"

When she saw Law standing there motionless, the girl's voice grew more frantic and concerned for reasons unclear even to her.

…

Meanwhile, in the penthouse suite of a nine-star hotel, the young man dropped the red wine glass in his hand onto the carpet. He looked at the display screen, now reduced to static, with a look of shock.

Less than ten seconds after he issued the order to kill Law, five of his trusted subordinates were killed instantly. It was so fast that he couldn't believe it and his mind was unable to process it for a long time.

The device transmitting the live footage had been destroyed by stray bullets, so he could not see what happened next.

"Boss, we need to leave this place immediately." The middle-aged man standing next to the young man suggested calmly.

"Why?" The young man's eyes trembled slightly.

"That boy is incredibly dangerous." The middle-aged man replied calmly.

The young man fell silent upon hearing this.

'Dangerous? Do I need your reminder for that?'
