Chairman, May I Borrow Your Power!?

Without a doubt.

Ian's words instantly made Knov nervous.

He was well aware, of course, that battles between Nen users were, to a large extent, battles of intelligence.

That's why he was confused.

Could it be that during the battle just now, I inadvertently revealed my Nen Ability through some habitual or subconscious action?

Despite his "Hide and Seek" Nen Ability.

It has also come to light within certain circles of familiar Nen users.

But.

Information that is actively disclosed to others, and information that allows one's Nen Ability to be detected during battle!

These are two different concepts.

The former are often teammates who can fight together.

The latter.

This indicates that his combat awareness is too weak, and revealing his Nen Ability is a sign of incompetence!

Why would you say that...?

Knov ignored the bloodstains on his hands, remaining calm as he casually raised his hand and adjusted the frame of his glasses.

Ian smiled, waved his hand, and said calmly.

"It's nothing, I was just curious about what kind of strange gadgets you, also Conjuration user, would create..."

Certainly...

I'm not Conjuration ability user...

I'm just trying to mislead you. If you believe me, don't blame me...

Knov looked rather grim.

There's something strange about this smiling little brat in front of me.

When did he find out that he was Conjuration ability user?

And.

The other party's words were so certain, coupled with what they had said before!

This guy... must have found out about my Nen Ability through some means or method...

The thought of this made him feel terrible!

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, Hunter Guild Master Netero, seemingly not content with just watching the spectacle, came over and fanned the flames.

"It seems the battle just now ended inconclusively, which is a bit of a shame. However, in my opinion, it was a very exciting fight."

"Shall we continue the battle?"

His deep gaze darted between Ian and Knov, as if trying to ascertain their opinions.

Knov fell silent for a moment, still Ian how Ian had discovered his Nen Abilities...

Suddenly, Netero clapped his hands.

As if suddenly remembering something, he said to Knov.

"By the way, Knov, I think the tools used to maintain order in this city are this child's creation."

Then, he glanced at Ian and smiled.

"Little one, I wasn't wrong, was I...?"

Upon hearing Netero's words, Ian paused for a moment, then laughed.

"The president is referring to the Justice Rope... Yes, they are indeed tools I created..."

"You should know that we have always upheld the Hunter Association's mission of maintaining peace!"

"We've made great efforts to ensure a stable and harmonious living environment for the residents of Ejin City, and we've finally found a perfect solution..."

"The Justice Rope is performing quite well so far; the media calls it Evil's Nemesis, and I think its future performance is worth looking forward to..."

Hearing Ian's words.

Netero nodded thoughtfully, then said softly.

"So, Knov's assessment of this item is somewhat incorrect. Clearly, you've considered this from a long-term perspective?"

Ian paused for a moment, then glanced at Knov meaningfully and smiled.

"Of course, even if the chance is small, you have to try to find out the result..."

"After all, we don't want to just hide in our comfort zone and be indifferent to everything. In my opinion, that's the behavior of a coward, don't you think, Chairman?"

Netero's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile.

Funny little devil...

When did you become aware of Knov's Nen Ability?

Even I didn't notice. Was it intelligence obtained through some kind of ability?

These young people these days are truly astonishing...

Meanwhile, listening to Ian's seemingly indirect mockery of him, Knov's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Coward... coward?

This brat... is he insulting me!?

"Call..."

Knov took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

The other party is just a kid; there's no need for him to bother with them.

We'll find out what kind of person this brat is after a fight.

It doesn't matter if the "Hide and Seek's" abilities are exposed...

My abilities have virtually no weaknesses!

Even if the other party knows the truth, it's impossible for them to defeat me!

And...

As Conjuration Fruit user, he wastes his innate memory... creating some boring, toy-like things!

With someone like you, what right do you have to make me agonize over this?

"Kid, have you said enough? If you're done and want to humiliate yourself, then continue fighting..."

Speaking of which...

He glanced at Uvogin, who had just been dragged down from the roof by Nobunaga and the others, and sneered.

Your companion escaped unharmed, but you might not be so lucky!

Hearing this from a distance, Uvogin's face flushed red.

"You bastard, what are you saying? If I hadn't missed, you'd be lying on the ground right now!"

He longed to rush forward again and fight the enemy a few more times, but he was firmly held down by Nobunaga and the others.

The prop is called "cool boxing gloves".

Every time I use Uvogin, there are always unexpected situations that I can't control.

Fortunately, he has found another path.

He made a decision.

After today, I'll ask Ian to make him a new custom item!

Ian looked at Knov and sneered.

"Luck is such a fleeting thing; I don't need it!"

"As for you, since you're so confident in your abilities, I hope you won't hide later. Fight me like a man and give it your all!"

After saying that, Ian turned to look at Netero and smiled.

"President, may I borrow your power?"

Hearing Ian's words.

Netero slightly opened his eyes, his deep, weathered eyes fixed on Ian, a smile playing on his lips.

"Oh? That's a strange statement... Is there anything I can do for you?"

Ian laughed at this.

"Just as I said, I simply wish to borrow your power once..."

"If you'd like, please shake my hand; this is a condition for activating my ability."

"If I could get your support, I think the upcoming battle would be very interesting?"

Hearing Ian's words.

Netero rubbed his chin, and just when Ian thought he would refuse, Netero suddenly nodded, a curious smile playing on his lips.

"Interesting. I'd like to see how much power you can borrow."

"Knov, you won't blame this old man, will you?"

Not far away, Knov shook his head.

Although he didn't believe his opponent was capable of defeating him, he was still somewhat curious about Ian's claim of "borrowing power."

Isn't this kid Conjuration Devil Fruit user?

Wasn't making those boring gadgets enough for him? Did he develop other Nen Abilities?

Knov frowned.

In his view, this was an extreme waste of Nen Ability!

On the other side, watching Netero extend his hands, which didn't look particularly old, Ian could sense the old man's trust and his strong confidence in his own strength.

Fortunately...

When the battle with Uvogin ended, he had already summoned the [Ability Copy Gloves], which became transparent and he put them on his hands.

"Gratitude for your trust, Chairman!"

Immediately, Ian gently grasped Netero's hands.

Ability activated!

The next moment, everything seemed to slow down suddenly before Ian's eyes.
