You're My Little Brother Now!
Night.
Sharku Manor.
Inside the luxurious and spacious restaurant, Ian, Uvogin, and others were enjoying a hearty meal at the dining table.
For Ian...
Having fought such a hard battle, he was starving. His stomach was growling with hunger, and the fierce fight with Jin had exhausted all his energy. He felt his body desperately needed to replenish itself.
He is usually quite polite when eating.
Just like Uvogin Nobunaga, he was now completely in gluttony mode, frantically devouring the food on the table.
Tonight, the chefs of the Xierku Family were on high alert, with servants pushing food carts in and out.
"Hey... that's delicious, Uvogin, eat up, eat up!"
"It tastes really good, Ian! Nobunaga, pass me that plate!"
"Uvogin, are you a pig? You eat a whole plateful in one go, what about everyone else?!"
"You guys... watch your table manners a little."
"Feitan, no wonder you're not tall enough! You're never enthusiastic about eating, and you always hold everyone back!"
"Uvogin, are you looking to die!?"
"Tch, if you're so capable, let's see who can eat more!"
"Idiot..."
"Stop arguing, eat up... Food tastes so much better after a fight!"
Ian, with a plump chicken leg in his left hand and a roasted rabbit head in his right, his mouth stuffed full, quickly tried to comfort him.
Machi sat next to Ian, her pretty eyes constantly fixed on him.
Every few bites of food, she would look up at Ian from time to time, and if she saw that Ian was choking, she would quickly take a cup of drink and hold it to Ian's mouth.
Only after seeing Ian finish his meal did he pick up his chopsticks again to eat, a barely perceptible smile of satisfaction appearing on his lips.
Ian eating like this is quite a sight...
For some reason... he's kind of cute...
Just then...
"Ugh... Ma... Machi... Water... Water..."
Ahead of her, Uvogin choked on a mouthful of rice, desperately pleading for help from Machi.
Machi, expressionless, handed over a glass of water.
Uvogin, that idiot...
The food was so dirty...
Tsubone and Illumi Milluki were also at the table, watching the others devour their food and the lively scene of clinking glasses, and they couldn't help but fall silent.
Although Illumi's eyes were lifeless, he still stared blankly at the actions of the group of people.
Milluki, on the other hand, covered his eyes and peeked through his fingers, his expression one of utter disgust.
This scene.
It's absolutely impossible for this to happen to the Zoldyck Family.
Tsubone glanced at the boy on the table with a complicated expression.
Who would have thought that these children were already Nen user of easily killing ordinary people...?
At least.
Of all the Nen users I've encountered in the Tsubone, I've never seen anyone so "simple and honest"...
"What an enviable friendship..."
Tsubone thought to himself, then gently wiped the corner of his eye. As people get older, they feel moved and appreciative of the warmth that is revealed in human nature.
"Belch!"
This meal took a long time.
Ian let out a loud burp, his belly bulging. He and Uvogin leaned against each other, so full they had to lean back, a contented expression on their faces.
"Please forgive me, Tsubone, but the battle with that guy Jin during the day was extremely exhausting..."
Ian was lying on his back when he noticed that Tsubone was looking at him.
He tried to get up several times but failed. Finally, with Machi's gentle help, he stood up, gave an apologetic smile, and said...
"By evening, I couldn't resist my craving for food and ate too much."
"It's alright, Ian. Seeing how much you young people eat makes this old woman feel that youthful energy again. It's really great."
Tsubone smiled gently as he spoke.
"Was the guy you fought during the day also Hunter from the Hunter Association? That young man's strength is quite astonishing in this old woman's eyes..."
Tsubone asked with some curiosity.
There is no doubt that Kim's strength also shocked her.
The Zoldyck Family clan also needs to obtain information about these Hunters.
After all, if they were given a mission to assassinate a powerful individual, the Zoldyck Family clan could simply refuse the job.
Ian was taken aback.
Does Tsubone not know about gold?
That's also true... Kim's reputation may not yet be fully established...
This guy isn't one to show off. Even as Ruin Hunter, he doesn't care much about his achievements in discovering new Ruins, nor does he report them to get a Hunter rank upgrade.
For Jin, the only thing that matters is the process of exploring the unknown.
"Hmm, that guy's name is Ging Freecss. Knowing his name through the Zoldyck Family clan's intelligence network should allow us to find out more about him..."
Ian thought for a moment, then decided not to hide anything and spoke directly.
"However, the information about that guy might not be that accurate. In short, we just need to overestimate his true abilities..."
My advice to the Zoldyck Family is: don't become enemies with each other.
"That guy... is one of the Hunters who surpasses Netero and is destined to stand at the pinnacle of Nen users."
No way!
The protagonist's father...
Looking at the fathers of various anime protagonists, which one isn't incredibly imposing...?
A glimpse into a village!
Revolutionary Army Leader!
Five top-tier Nen Ability users... don't seem so impressive anymore...
Ian had been quite subtle; he hadn't even dared to mention his family background or bloodline, hoping the other party would understand.
Tsubone indeed contracted, and he froze on the spot.
At the same time, I also gained a real understanding of the Kim that Ian mentioned...
Young people who surpass Netero...
Such Hunter with great potential definitely needs to have his information recorded by the Zoldyck Family clan to ensure he isn't targeted for assassination...
"Gratitude for reminding me, Lord Ian. I will inform the head of the family about this matter. At the same time, I will prepare a generous gift to express my gratitude for your goodwill towards the Zoldyck Family clan."
Tsubone said solemnly.
Upon hearing Tsubone's words, Ian waved his hand and smiled.
"No need to be so serious..."
"For me, it's just a casual chat with you, Tsubone, no need to be so formal..."
"However, I also have some doubts..."
Ian glanced at Illumi and Milluki, who were sitting upright, pondered for a moment, and then said quite seriously.
"What exactly does Silva want by sending his two children?"
This is an event that deviates completely from the original plot, and no one can predict how it will develop. Therefore, Ian is quite cautious about it.
Tsubone sensed Ian's seriousness and answered seriously in return.
"It all started because young master Milluki wanted to see... just what kind of person the boy who defeated the head of the Silva family was..."
"After discussing it, the head of the Silva family and Lord Zeno believed that this might be an opportunity, and also a completely different way to train the family's offspring... If they could come into contact with you and receive your guidance, perhaps these two children could achieve even greater things in the future!"
Tsubone had mentioned before that the other party hoped the child would receive his guidance.
At the time, he assumed that Silva had some other purpose.
But right now.
It seems they're serious...?
"Hiss..."
Ian scratched his head, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
He wasn't very good at saying no, but he didn't have any particular opinion about the Zoldyck Family clan.
If Silva hadn't suddenly appeared and ambushed them...
It's unlikely they'll have any dealings with the Zoldyck Family clan, and besides, their feud is over. As for the protagonist Killua, he's still a long way from being born...
I never expected them to pull something like this...
The most important thing is to be honest...
"Hey, chubby kid, come here for a second..."
Ian Milluki.
Milluki frowned and reluctantly walked to Ian's side, inwardly grumbling.
"Damn it... how dare he call me fat... this scumbag... does he think he's so great just because he's handsome!"
Although he was cursing inwardly, Milluki's body still obeyed his will.
After all, he had witnessed the opponent's strength firsthand.
Neither his elder brother nor Tsubone could probably save him, so he came to Ian, forced a smile, and said quite consciously.
"Brother, what do you need me for?"
Ian paused, first glancing at Tsubone, then at the chubby boy in front of him.
Illumi's expression twitched slightly.
Tsubone looked at Milluki with an extremely complicated expression on his old face.
Once upon a time...
I never imagined that Young Master Milluki would be so shrewd...
Fortunately, the head of the Silva family didn't witness this scene...
Ian glanced at Milluki from left to right, suppressed a laugh, gently patted the other's shoulder, and smiled.
"I'll take you in as my underling!"
