Tsubone, Ian's Misjudgment

Since they were enemies, Ian naturally wouldn't hold back.

But.

Fortunately, the "Cursed Camera" cannot kill directly; unfortunately, death itself becomes a luxury at this moment.

"Hehe..."

The Nen user was clutching his neck, his face turning purple from the intense suffocation, his eyes bloodshot, and his mouth gaping open as if trying to say something, but he was completely unable to utter a sound.

"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot that if I keep choking you like this, you won't be able to speak."

Ian seemed to have just realized the problem, but there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.

Until... due to severe suffocation, the other person fainted.

Ian stepped forward, casually dragged the other person along, and tossed them out like a dead dog.

He glanced at the growing crowd of onlookers, frowned, and said to the police officer beside him.

"The rest of the cleanup is up to you. There's only one requirement: make sure these gang members experience the 'hospitality' of Ejin City! Humanitarianism doesn't apply to gangsters. Do you understand what I mean?"

Upon hearing Ian's words, the older police officer immediately responded respectfully.

"Rest assured, we will use our unique skills to make these scum taste the righteous passion of Ejin City!"

Ian gave him a thumbs up in appreciation.

Good heavens!

A very insightful police officer, not only does he understand his views on Ejin City, but he also has a flexible mindset; no wonder he got promoted!

Then, he dragged the unconscious Nen user toward Tsubone and the others.

"Since you've come to see me, could you do me a small favor?"

"I'm not good at torture, although one of my companions is an expert in it, but unfortunately he's not here. As the steward of the Zoldyck Family clan, Tsubone, you should have some knowledge of it."

Ian made no attempt to hide his knowledge of the Zoldyck Family.

Upon hearing Ian's words, Tsubone was taken aback, then a radiant smile, like a chrysanthemum, appeared on his face. His powerful physique and every gesture exuded a refined manner.

"Of course, as I mentioned before, you are a friend of the Zoldyck Family clan, and it is my honor to have the opportunity to help you solve your problem."

A short while later.

The group, along with Milluki Illumi and others, left the place in the Sharku Clan carriage.

Fortunately, the car has enough interior space.

Otherwise, Tsubone's burly body would feel rather cramped inside the car.

Machi, Pakunoda, and the others looked at the appearance of Tsubone and the other strangers with some doubt, but they did not ask Ian at this moment.

The Milluki little guy, Miki, stared curiously at Machi and the others with his big eyes.

There aren't that many pretty young ladies on Kukuroo Mountain. The only people he sees all day are his older brother, his mother, and the housekeeper.

Illumi's eyes were vacant, and he seemed lost in thought, sitting in the back seat like a lifeless puppet.

Milluki glanced at his "dull" older brother, then at the handsome Ian, who was deep in thought in the back seat, and couldn't help but purse his lips.

Hey bro, that's so embarrassing... Look at that guy, he's the same age as you and he's already had several girlfriends!

However, the thought of the other person having several girlfriends made him pause, and his chubby little fists clenched involuntarily.

Ugh, what a scumbag!!

As for Tsubone, she secretly observed the people in the car, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

A group of remarkable children, all of whom have awakened Nen at such a young age, and most importantly, Ian is guiding them.

Young Master Silva, I think I know why you made that judgment...

This child truly stood out from the crowd from the very first glance.

They're clearly not that old.

But under the gaze of those eyes, it was as if they knew everything...

It was a kind of confidence that gave me absolute control over everything that happened...

If I absolutely have to say something...

Tsubone had only experienced this with two people: one was the old master who lived in seclusion deep within his family, and the other was Netero, the current Hunter Association Chairman.

A short while later, the car stopped in a secluded spot.

Without Ian lifting a finger, Tsubone casually pulled the Nen user out of the car. He was still unconscious, but soon, he would face his own hell.

About ten minutes later.

A heart-wrenching scream echoed across the empty field.

A flock of birds took flight from the surrounding woods.

Tsubone expected of the senior steward of the Zoldyck Family clan, this rather old woman, from the moment she appeared in the original work, gave people a strong sense of oppression with her burly inverted triangle body.

Aside from his Nen Ability [Yamato Nadeshiko Seven Transformations], which allows him to materialize his body into various modes of transportation, Ian didn't think it was anything special.

In other respects, this person is undoubtedly an all-rounder.

At the same time, he is also someone who strives to reach the pinnacle of human achievement through arduous training and self-cultivation.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The torture was briefly halted, giving the ordinary Nen user a much-needed chance to catch his breath.

He was panting heavily, his body drenched in sweat, his eyes wide open and bloodshot, and dozens of long silver needles were stuck in the sides of his head.

Tsubone, however, stood with his hands clasped, expressionless, and spoke slowly in a calm tone unique to the elderly.

"Next, I hope you can honestly confess everything I've been asked. If your answers are wrong, I doubt you'd want to experience that pain again."

"I'll confess... I'll confess everything... Ask me all you want, please... please stop torturing me..."

The man spoke weakly, his face contorted in pain.

Gazer never imagined that he was simply receiving orders from his boss, just like any other day, to eliminate some ordinary people.

To think we'd encounter such a powerful group of Nen users...

If I had the chance to choose again!

He certainly wouldn't board that Airship bound for Ejin City.

Looking back on those ten minutes, the extreme pain that felt like his brain was being torn apart was like a nightmare for him!

He used to be like that.

Because of his Nen user, even within the infamous Black Axe Gang of Yorknew City, he was a powerful figure who was fawned over by countless people wherever he went!

But he never imagined that an ordinary mission would turn him into a fish on a chopping board.

Just like the ordinary people he killed at will in the past, they ended up being at the mercy of others!

At that moment, he had already foreseen his fate, and was filled with despair...

"Lord Ian, please ask."

Tsubone judged that the other party's will had weakened to the extreme, and then a smile appeared on his face, completely different from his previous indifference, as he spoke to Ian, who was not far behind him.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Ian. After all, you are an elder. Although I don't understand what Silva is trying to do, I believe that your Zoldyck Family clan has no ill intentions."

Ian walked over slowly and said calmly.

He knew the Zoldyck Family clan well; even if they had some unexpected plans, they wouldn't send their offspring to test them, as their clan wasn't particularly large.

Tsubone's smile remained unchanged, but he gave Ian a deep look, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Ian didn't pay any attention.

He walked up to the Nen user, glanced down at him, and was taken aback.

Wow... such a super stylish look...

If it weren't for the Hunter World, you'd be the undisputed top fashion icon of the year!

His hair was covered in quills, making him look like a hedgehog.

No wonder they were shouting like they were about to slaughter a pig for the New Year.

However, this acupuncture technique is quite similar to that of a certain old friend...

Ian raised his hand to touch his chin and nodded silently.

Tsubone, you're truly amazing! I'll have to call Feitan over to learn from you another day. Stop making all this gory stuff, like an American horror movie. Even torture scenes should be done in a more literary way!

This is the art of interrogation!

"Tell me, why did you come to Ejin City, and why are you hiding among ordinary people? Who are you targeting by infiltrating here?"

Ian showed no sympathy for the other party, who was traveling with gangsters, and asked indifferently.

"I... I was sent by Black Axe Gang leader Tadas to clean up the local gangs and some media outlets promoting Evil's Nemesis..."

He spoke weakly, Ian was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowing and his expression becoming quite complicated.

What is this all about!?

That's completely unrelated to what he was thinking, especially that Axe Gang!

The first thing that came to his mind was, "Who else!"

"Wait... you mean, you were sent by a gang to wipe out another gang and media organization!?"

The other person was panting heavily. He looked up with difficulty and opened his eyes to glance at Ian, then nodded quickly.

"Yes... yes..."

Ian was speechless. It turned out he had misunderstood!

But.

The next moment, his eyes narrowed, and he asked seriously.

"How many Nen users did you deploy in total...?"

"It's... it's just me alone..."

When Gazer answered, he almost cried; he deeply regretted his choice...

Ian frowned after hearing this.

There's only one Nen user!?

Then... who was it that appeared at Uvogin!?

"Machi, give me the phone!"

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate any longer and quickly turned around and shouted to Machi.
