Chapter 287: Kurapika is my subordinate

After being repaired, the [Guardian Pot] no longer had other restrictions, but it did have a rather harsh quantity limit.

Currently, it only allowed for five Guardian Spirit Beasts.

It couldn't be increased any further.

At least, he couldn't find a way to increase it for now.

So, with Machi and the other three women, they each had one.

Machi and the others had gestated theirs quickly, but his own Guardian Spirit Beast remained in a gestation state, still just a mass of phantom shadows.

He personally suspected that the longer a Guardian Spirit Beast took to gestate, the greater its potential and abilities might be.

It specifically related to each person’s aptitude.

Knock, knock, knock…

Luo Ge tapped his fingertips on the table.

Two or three years had passed since he took control of the Kakin Empire.

In that time, everyone in the Kakin Empire had become his people.

Although Kakin had immense strength and deep foundations, not everyone was a Nen user.

The vast majority of officials were ordinary people.

The important officials among them had either signed a contract and become subordinates controlled by Nen,

or had been directly replaced by talent cultivated by Zhu Di over the years.

Up until now, every aspect of Kakin had been firmly under his control.

Even several of Nasubi’s princes had signed contracts and become loyal subordinates.

Their aptitude was quite good, especially the First Prince and a few others.

Their potential was at least first-class, and with increased cultivation, reaching super-first-class would be a breeze.

Now, they were all first-class Nen users.

The most terrifying thing was that the outside world knew nothing of this; for instance, other countries were completely unaware that Kakin had changed hands.

To this day, people still thought the King of the Kakin Empire was Nasubi.

Only those who had signed the contract knew that Kakin now belonged to Luo.

With the great nation of Kakin as his foundation, his Gero Corporation had entered the fast lane.

His influence was developing at an even faster rate!

Luo Ge pondered for a moment and said slowly:

“How is Kurapika doing now?”

“Loto-loto, under deliberate influence, he has become an elite subordinate and is currently in the conference room signing the contract.”

The Kurapika he referred to was one of the main protagonists.

After occupying Kakin, he had accidentally thought that the Kurta Clan ruins would be a good place.

Activating Nen abilities there might yield good results.

He might even encounter a Pokémon.

So, he mobilized his influence and found Kurapika with ease.

At that time, Kurapika was feeling depressed due to his clan’s extermination, thinking every day about becoming stronger to avenge them.

With a little reminder to join Gero Corporation and show his value, he could gain strength.

And so, Kurapika had taken the initiative to ask to join.

By now, he had signed the contract and become one of his subordinates.

Well then, it was time for this last surviving member of the Kurta Clan to take him to see it.

The Kurta Clan.

Who knew what might be there?

……

Lukso Province,

Here, mountains were layered and trees were lush, forming a sea of forest, and the once-famous Kurta Clan had lived here.

But that was old news.

After all, the Kurta Clan had already been wiped out.

Kurapika, now one of his own, led Luo Ge toward the ruins where he had once lived.

Swish—

“We should be almost there; I remember it being right around here.”

Kurapika wove through the forest.

Not long after, Kurapika stopped in front of a large tree and did not continue forward.

“Finally here?”

Luo Ge looked around.

“The entrance is right here.”

Kurapika walked forward; in front was a large tree, and next to it was a rock the size of half a person.

The rock was covered in moss and had some fine cracks, looking as if it had weathered many storms.

Kurapika walked straight toward the gap between the tree and the rock.

The space here was just enough to accommodate one person’s body.

Seeing Kurapika walking toward the corner for no apparent reason, Luo Ge was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

Suddenly.

Kurapika seemed to touch something, and a layer of white ripples appeared out of thin air around his body.
