Chapter 309: Leorio's Admiration! Rainy Day? Bright Sunny Day! (Subscribe Please)

"No, please, absolutely not."

Jin hurriedly replied, then hung up the phone at top speed.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd picked up some kind of supernatural phone call, the way he was avoiding it.

Luo Ge stared at the already-hung-up phone, the corner of his mouth twitching, not knowing what to say.

Being a father to this extent—Jin was truly the first of his kind.

Gon looked at Luo Ge curiously.

His hearing was excellent; he'd caught the voice coming through Luo Ge's phone.

He always felt a vague, inexplicable sense of familiarity.

And there was another key point!

"Mr., how did you know my name?"

That was what puzzled Gon.

He hadn't even introduced himself yet—how did Luo Ge know what he was called?

Luo Ge pocketed his phone and said casually:

"I can read minds."

"I knew your name the instant I looked at you."

"Huh? That's amazing!"

Gon believed it straight away.

With an expression as if he'd witnessed something heaven-sent.

Just then the old captain happened to walk over.

He didn't want to bother with anything else, but the problem was that a fish this big couldn't just be left alone.

"Excuse me, passenger, how do you think we should handle this fish?"

The old captain was no fool.

Anyone who could reel in a fish this big was no simple matter—better to tread carefully.

He'd heard that during last year's Hunter Exam, a candidate had actually gotten into a fight with an examiner, and supposedly the examiner couldn't even beat the candidate.

Though he was no spring chicken, he still wanted to live out his natural span in peace.

"It's fine, I'll have it taken care of in no time."

Luo Ge turned around and said.

In that single glance, a name suddenly flashed through the old captain's mind.

Luo Ge!

The founder of the Gello Company—Luo Ge!

"Y-you… are you that Luo Ge?"

The old captain had only taken a couple sips of wine, and the sudden nervousness made him stammer a little, but the people around him could still hear him clearly.

And quite loudly at that—everyone heard it.

A man swallowed hard and said with some difficulty:

"Luo Ge…"

"Could it really be that Gello Company one?!"

The name Luo Ge was far too famous across the six continents.

It had nearly reached the point where everyone under heaven knew him.

The world's strongest!

The strongest floor master and champion of Heavens Arena!

The boss of the world's number one conglomerate, Gello Company!

These were the titles that circulated among ordinary folk; those in the know about Nen would know even more.

Gon scratched his head.

"So your name is Luo Ge, huh? Seems like everyone knows you?"

"Are you really that famous?"

The reason Luo Ge hadn't truly achieved 【everyone under heaven knows him】 was precisely because of people like Gon.

The people of Whale Island knew of him to some degree.

Gon's ignorance was purely because he never bothered to learn about such things.

Leorio couldn't hold back any longer; he stepped forward, his face full of astonishment, and said:

"Kid, you actually don't know Luo Ge?"

"He's the legendary figure who single-handedly built that behemoth, Gello Company!"

"Gello Juice, Gello Pharmaceuticals—both are extremely well-known industries."

"Oh, oh."

Faced with Leorio's impassioned speech, Gon put on a look of sudden realization, though how much he actually understood was anyone's guess.

Leorio saw this, pressed his lips together, sighed, and said nothing more.

In truth, he paid a great deal of attention to Gello Company, especially Gello Pharmaceuticals.

He was genuinely grateful to Gello Company.

A childhood friend of his had fallen ill, suffering from a lack of financial means, and the sickness had steadily worsened.

Later he learned that Gello Company had launched pharmaceutical products, and depending on the situation, would select certain patients each cycle for free treatment.

His friend had survived precisely because of Gello Company's aid.

Because of this, he resolved to become a doctor, then join the Gero Company and contribute his share.

As for coming to take the Hunter Exam, it's because a Hunter's identity is a tremendous help for getting into the best medical university.

So he came to give it a try.

Thinking of this, he grew excited again and said to Luo Ge: "Mr. Luo Ge, my name is Leorio!"

"I want to thank you — it was the Gero Company you founded that gave me a direction to strive for, and it saved my best friend's life.........."

"Right now I'm working hard to become a student at a top medical university, and I'm determined to join the Gero Company."

"Please give me a chance in the future to prove myself."

Leorio didn't want to give up this opportunity.

Running into the boss of a top company by chance outside — that's the kind of scene you'd only see on TV dramas.

But today it happened to him, so he wanted to seize this opportunity well.

Luo Ge raised an eyebrow.

It seemed Leorio held the Gero Company in quite high regard?

Actually, Leorio isn't bad either — as a member of the main cast, his talent naturally couldn't be low; with proper training, becoming a first-class Nen user would be no problem.

"Fine, I'll give you a chance."

"Setting aside becoming a great doctor — if you pass this Hunter Exam, I'll recruit you into the Gero Company."

"And into management."

Leorio's face lit up, he became brimming with motivation, and hurriedly thanked him.

Seeing Leorio's behavior, Xiao Jie gained a bit more understanding of Luo Ge.

This incident was just a small interlude; the ship kept moving forward steadily.

That giant fish, meanwhile, was casually kicked into the sea by him with a single foot.

A while later.

The sky turned pitch-black; a stretch of dark clouds appeared, densely packed and blotting out the sky.

Rolling thunder rumbled back and forth within the dark clouds, every so often letting out thunderclaps that pierced the heavens.

At the same time, a terrifying gale rose over the sea, whipping the ocean into towering waves, with spray crashing over again and again.

Accompanied by another crack of thunder.

A flash of unusual-colored light appeared.

The old captain frowned and exclaimed in surprise:

"It's St. Elmo's Fire!"

The ship kept rocking under the pounding of the great waves.

In an instant, panic spread through the crowd.

Legend has it that seeing St. Elmo's Fire at sea means nine deaths out of ten!

Extremely perilous.

Luo Ge sat calmly in his chair, unmoving as a mountain.

He casually extended his right hand and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, countless dark clouds parted on their own, and the great wind and waves calmed down.

It was sunny again..
