Deceptive Looks

Gugurian.

The city streets were peaceful.

"Whoosh!"

A pink door suddenly appeared on the corner of the street, and then Ian, along with a panicked Younian and Elena, appeared there.

Both were ordinary people, and in the blink of an eye, they passed through a door and returned to their familiar city, naturally looking quite surprised.

This moment.

Only then did they understand what amazing ability this boy possessed!

Their actions were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like them.

No wonder even a monster like Sashado is so wary of him.

"Lord Ian, you..."

Younian wanted to speak, but Ian stopped Ian with a raised hand and Ian.

"I know, I know..."

"You want to plead for those noble ministers, right? I understand how you feel, but don't worry, I've already tried this in Ejin City."

As he said this, Ian had a smile on his face, but his eyes were slightly cold as he spoke indifferently.

"The result is very good, and you've seen the current state of Ejin City..."

"Making a city better is actually quite easy; just eliminate the parasites. Similarly, governing a country requires surgical intervention to ensure a better life for all the people at the bottom."

"I think you wouldn't disagree with that, would you?"

Upon hearing Ian's words, Younian was at a loss for words.

Ian ignored him.

Once he has made up his mind, he will naturally not give up halfway.

However, he was not familiar with Gugurian, the capital of the Gogar Kingdom, so he decided to meet with Egina and that guy Jin first.

"Now, I'll trouble you to lead the way. This is Gugurian. Before dealing with those guys, I'd like to meet with Princess Egina first."

Younian and Elena exchanged a glance, Elena quickly spoke.

"Of course, that's precisely why we've come to Ejin City to see you. Now, please follow me..."

With that, Elena led the way.

Ian followed her, and soon they arrived at the mansion where Egina lived.

Egina's residence was not in the royal palace, but the two were not far apart, separated only by a street.

Ian stood outside the princess's residence, admiring the buildings' distinctive Gogar style, and praised them.

Princess Egina has good taste...

"What a pity, Gon Jie..."

In the original story, Gon never met his mother, and his clothing and appearance were noticeably different from Killua's from a young age.

Ian didn't know whether he had changed the plot or what.

But I imagine that in this life, Gon will grow up by his mother's side. In such a privileged environment, he will surely grow into a handsome protagonist.

When Egina received Elena's message, she paused for a moment, somewhat surprised, and looked at Kim beside her, as if asking a question.

Jin spoke helplessly.

"I knew that guy would come. Don't worry, he has a device that allows him to travel long distances..."

"Even in Ejin City, it's a matter of a moment if you want to come here."

Egina gave him a reproachful look, as if to say, "Why didn't you tell me this sooner?"

Jin sighed helplessly, but his eyes became slightly more serious.

"Egina, I never interfere in your affairs, but regarding your plan to use Ian against the royal family, I must say something: the outcome may be beyond your control."

Seeing Jin's seriousness, Egina was taken aback.

Jin continued earnestly.

"There's no need to worry too much, but... what you should be aware of is that Ian might be... a little different from the people you usually interact with, a very special feeling... how should I describe it..."

Jin scratched his head vigorously, seemingly pondering how to phrase it, and finally pointed helplessly to himself.

"It's probably like how you feel about me; that guy, once you get to know him, you'll immediately sense his peculiarity!"

"So..."

As he said this, he raised his head, his eyes looking very serious.

"Egina, under no circumstances should you harbor any ill intentions towards that guy; that's absolutely forbidden!"

When Egina heard Kim's words, she was slightly taken aback; she rarely saw Kim so serious.

Then, she relaxed slightly, couldn't help but chuckle softly, and playfully patted Jin.

"Hey, Jin, it's rare to see you so serious."

"But... what kind of person do you take me for? Do you think I'm an evil witch? Ian is still your friend, no matter what. I won't scheme against him, you can rest assured about that!"

"My contact with him was simply because you two knew each other, and I wanted to see if we could work together. I didn't have any other ulterior motives."

Egina said just as earnestly.

As someone who rose from an ordinary royal daughter to become a princess with immense power, Egina is naturally exceptionally capable. Her schemes and shrewdness are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Most importantly, she is not stupid.

Knowing full well that the other party was powerful, how could she possibly rashly use tactics to scheme against Ian, just as she had told Jin?

She simply hoped to try and persuade the other person to help her.

This is all a mutually beneficial arrangement...

Even if the other party was unwilling, she couldn't think of any way she could possibly offend them.

It was with this in mind that she decided to try to arrange a meeting with the other party.

I thought this would be a long process.

To her surprise, the other party arrived as soon as she sent someone out, which took her by surprise.

After speaking with Kim, the two tidied up and soon met with Ian.

Upon meeting, Ian immediately spotted that guy, Kim.

He still looked disheveled, but the woman next to him caught Ian's eye.

The woman had a beautiful face and wore a gorgeous dress. As she walked, she gently supported her slightly swollen belly, but this did not diminish her composure and elegance in the slightest.

"Jin, although I'm not one to judge people by their appearance..."

"But, in front of such a beautiful woman, isn't your appearance... a bit excessive...?"

Looking at Egina, and then at Kim's refugee-like appearance, Ian shook his head and sighed.

"Hey kid, you're targeting me the moment we meet..."

Jin said irritably.

Ian shrugged helplessly.

"Just telling the truth..."

After saying that, he looked at Egina and smiled.

"You must be Princess Egina. It's a pleasure to meet you. Just call me Ian..."

Seeing the conversation between Kim and Ian, and noticing that the other person acted like a polite young man, Egina breathed a slight sigh of relief and smiled.

"It's nice to see you, Ian. That guy Kim is awful; he didn't tell me anything."

"If I had known, I would have just called you about something so small..."

Who could have imagined that this young man was a terrifyingly powerful figure capable of easily destroying a nation?

When she saw Ian, this thought involuntarily popped into Egina's mind.

It's just... Ian's appearance is so deceptive...
