Hey... Old Lady... I'm Traumatized, You Know

"Hey bro, is this type of Magical Beast... Plant Magical Beast?"

"This is the first time I've seen such a peculiar creature. It looks quite interesting. Should we capture some and take them back to Kukuroo Mountain to keep as pets?"

Among the onlookers.

A chubby little boy, his eyes shining, spoke without restraint. He was holding a large rainbow ring candy in his hand, licking it as he spoke to the tall, slender boy with short black hair beside him.

I advise you not to have such thoughts...

"That kind of thing... is not something you can get your hands on..."

The tall, slender, black-haired boy had somewhat empty, lifeless eyes. He stared intently at the "Justice Rope" writhing in the distance, binding the gang members, and spoke in a completely flat tone.

He could see the Nen swirling around the other person.

Clearly, this "creature" is not Magical Beast.

"What a spoilsport, Brother Illumi! You always say such strange things..."

The chubby boy said somewhat impatiently.

"I really advise you not to have such thoughts..."

"Also, I've said it many times, don't reveal the names of family members outside..."

Illumi lowered his head, staring intently at the chubby boy, and said calmly.

Little Fatty Milluki seemed to sense a hint of danger, pursed his lips, and quickly whispered.

"I know, I know, I was just careless for a moment..."

Seeing that Milluki realized his mistake, Illumi withdrew his gaze, his tone still flat.

"Your father and mother are very angry that you secretly ran away from the family..."

Upon hearing this, the chubby boy was not afraid at all; instead, he showed a hint of excitement and said rather excitedly.

Is it true? Does Mom care about me?

In response, Illumi gazed calmly ahead and said indifferently.

"No, Mom only cares about Killua now, and she's very disappointed in your irresponsible and willful behavior."

"Your father is demanding that you complete the goal you set when you escaped the family. If... you don't achieve that goal, your fate when you go back might not be good..."

Upon hearing Illumi's words, Milluki was about to feel wronged, but after hearing the rest, he showed an embarrassed expression.

My mom might beat me if she gets angry.

If Dad gets angry, I'm afraid I'll be facing hellish torture...

Upon thinking of this, he quickly perked up.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's find that guy named Ian quickly!"

"I'll see what's so special about this guy who can beat Dad!"

The instant his words fell to the ground.

The surrounding wind seemed to have frozen for a moment.

"Oh, are you looking for me?"

"Strange... how could Silva dare to let you two little ones come here..."

Suddenly, a soft, questioning voice rang in the ears of the two boys.

In that instant!

Milluki and Illumi's pupils both contracted sharply.

The bloodlines of the two, originating from the Assassin Family, seemed to awaken instantly at that moment. A strong sense of unease reminded their bodies of some extremely dangerous approach, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end, as if they were about to explode.

At the same time.

In the shadows not far away, a burly figure with pigtails froze, his movement halting abruptly as he was about to attack!

A fine layer of cold sweat broke out on Tsubone's back. Her eyes, which were covered by glasses, widened and her pupils contracted sharply.

What just happened!?

When did that boy approach Illumi and Milluki?

"When... when was it!?"

A hint of emotion finally appeared on Illumi's face; his expression turned grim, and he stiffly turned around.

Those once calm and empty eyes were now filled with shock as they stared at the boy who had suddenly appeared behind them, a boy with a puzzled expression.

This guy... this guy is the boy who injured his father!

At that moment, he was absolutely certain of his inner suspicions.

Milluki, as if struck by a ghost, dropped his rainbow-ring lollipop and jumped forward, looking back with lingering fear.

When I saw Ian.

He couldn't help but feel bewildered by the unconscious behavior his body had just exhibited.

What's going on? He's just a kid about the same age as my older brother!

But... why does my brother look so pale!?

"How?"

"Is it just the two of you from the Zoldyck Family clan? That can't be right."

"If I remember correctly, your family is quite protective of the younger generation..."

Just then!

"Whoosh!"

A burly figure suddenly appeared in front of Illumi and Milluki; it was Tsubone, who crouched slightly in a defensive stance.

Just as she was about to speak to the person in front of her, her vision suddenly blurred.

"Hey, old man, don't suddenly jump out and scare me! If I didn't know better, I'd think an enemy was about to ambush me. I've been ambushed so many times lately, I almost got traumatized!"

Before she could react, a pair of slender, fair hands were already on her shoulders from behind, and teasing words reached her ears in a casual manner.

Tsubone's forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat.

This moment.

She understood that the young man before her was powerful enough to kill her easily!

The other party's speed was so fast that even she found it unbelievable!

What a terrifying boy...

This child, isn't he the one who injured young Silva...?

Tsubone knew very well that in the world of Nen users, age was irrelevant, and the strong must be given due respect.

She did not retaliate; instead, a flower-like smile bloomed on her wrinkled old face as she praised him.

"You must be Lord Ian..."

"Please rest assured, the Zoldyck Family clan has no intention of being your enemy. The appearance of Milluki and Illumi is merely a trial arranged by the clan. Of course, Silva also hopes that they can learn some skills from you."

Please don't overthink it...

Upon hearing Tsubone's explanation, Ian nodded secretly.

He removed his hand from the other person's shoulder, stepped in front of him, and looked up at the other person's imposing figure.

It must be said that observing Tsubone up close was quite an experience.

This guy... he's really strong...

This type of body is the result of decades of tempering and refinement, brimming with explosive power.

Unfortunately... he was no match for someone like himself who was cheating.

He also guessed that the Zoldyck Family wouldn't dare to retaliate against him easily, otherwise they wouldn't have only sent two children.

However, just to be on the safe side, he still asked out of curiosity.

"How many people from your Zoldyck Family clan came this time?"

Tsubone remained calm and smiled.

"There are only three of us: young master Milluki, young master Illumi, and this old servant of mine..."

At this point, Tsubone seemed to have noticed that the other person had something on their mind, so he asked.

"Excuse me, what problem are you facing? If possible, the Zoldyck Family clan is quite capable and can do its utmost to solve your problem..."

"This is the Zoldyck Family clan's sincerity..."

Tsubone's words were impeccable.

Illumi was standing nearby, noticed Tsubone's appearance but didn't react much.

As for Milluki, he was staring blankly with his mouth wide open.

He never expected that, despite running away from the family, he would be caught by his eldest brother first, and then followed by the family's old steward.

What kind of "prison break" is this...?

So my dad and his family were just playing a trick on me...

Ian frowned upon hearing Tsubone's words.

Based on this, the Nen users on the Xierku Family's side at this time should have no connection with the Zoldyck Family.

But that's fine too. He believes Uvogin and his group can easily handle ordinary Nen users...

As long as you don't get involved with the Zoldyck Family, there shouldn't be any problem.

Just now, at a certain moment, he thought of this, and he genuinely considered killing him...

After all, if Zeno and the others were to actually make a move, Chrollo and his companions would likely have no chance of survival; these veteran assassins are no joke...

"Thank you for your sincerity, but I don't think it should be a big problem..."

He glanced at Milluki and Illumi and asked.

"Tell me about them. I don't think sending two children to the territory of an enemy who just defeated us is a funny idea. I won't feel at ease until I understand the situation clearly."

"By the way, please wait a moment..."

As he spoke, under the curious gazes of Milluki Illumi and Tsubone, Ian raised the [Cursed Camera] in his hand and took a picture of the Nen user was about to be taken away by the police in a police car from a distance.

"Laugh..."

With a soft sound, under their questioning gazes.

A strange doll slowly emerged from the camera.

Seeing this, they all stared wide-eyed in curiosity.
