Ejin City.

Inside a low-key yet luxurious castle.

"Haven't they come back yet?"

Inside the room, a young man in a black suit frowned and asked the burly man below him.

"Yes... yes, young master, there has been no news of Miss Mina until now!"

"As for the helper you hired... we haven't heard from him since..."

The burly man hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Um... young master, could you have been tricked? How could that kind of guy possibly rescue Miss Mina!"

He had met that guy named Walker before.

He was dressed in tattered clothes and looked extremely thin!

He's clearly like a drug addict, yet he always acts like he looks down on people.

He doesn't even look at himself in the Mirror!

With his pointed face and monkey-like features, he doesn't look like a strong person at all!

Young master... young master...

How could your discerning eyes not see that I am the one who can rescue Miss Mina!

The young man, too lazy to pay attention to his subordinate's words, waved his hand dismissively.

"You can go now. Keep an eye on things, and have someone keep a close eye on the Kalie Gang. If any news comes through, let me know immediately!"

The burly man left with a look of resentment.

The boy was left alone, sitting in his seat, fidgeting with his hair, and muttering to himself.

"How could that be...?"

"Walker is Nen user!"

"Why, he still hasn't rescued Mina...?"

He had witnessed the Nen users firsthand; they were worlds apart from ordinary people.

It was because he met Walker that he understood.

In this world.

Besides gangsters, there's an even more deeply hidden group of people... Nen users!

It was precisely because of the knowledge of the existence of Nen user they learned of it.

His original plan to purchase a large number of firearms in Yorknew City was cancelled at the last minute; it was simply unnecessary.

With the power of Nen user, even if it's just a simple decapitation plan targeting gang leaders, he could quickly wipe out the Kalie Gang.

Moreover, he genuinely made a friend who is a Nen user!

But.

Just then, he suddenly looked up, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and his face turned somewhat grim.

"Could it be... that the Kalie Gang also has its own Nen users?"

Thinking about this, he became restless.

If Walker really can't come back for this reason...

So... he needs to make plans as soon as possible...

I wouldn't dare gamble on something like this!

Having witnessed the power of Nen users, he knew all too well what would happen if a potential Nen user were to launch a surprise attack on his family.

They, a group of ordinary people, have almost no chance of winning!

"No, even if there's only a possibility, we must tell Father as soon as possible!"

At this point, he couldn't even care about Mina anymore...

This moment!

This concerns the very survival of the Xierku Family!!

Young Xia Sharku walked with heavy steps to an old-fashioned room deep inside the castle.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and a refined-looking middle-aged man was sitting there.

Before him were various violins and sheet music, placed in prominent positions, clearly indicating that the refined middle-aged man was quite accomplished in music.

Seemingly noticing the distress on his son's face, the middle-aged man paused for a moment before speaking.

"Xia, what happened?"

"I'm sorry... Father, I messed things up..."

Soon, with a brief recounting, Xia told the middle-aged man in great detail about the recent events.

Upon hearing that Mina had been kidnapped by the Kalie Gang, the middle-aged man's expression darkened slightly.

When he heard Xia say that she had asked Nen user she knew in Yorknew City to save Mina, the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly.

" Those with the Nen user..."

He muttered a few words to himself, his face growing increasingly grim.

"Father?"

Xia was puzzled, wondering why her father would react so strongly to the mention of Nen user.

"Sigh... I didn't expect you to reach this level so quickly, Xia..."

The middle-aged man looked at his child with a rather complicated expression.

Jorar Sharku considered himself to be among the most mediocre members of the Sharku Clan, but he never expected that his son would be born intelligent and resourceful at a young age.

Xia is only fourteen years old, but in reality, she has already been in charge of the family business for almost half a year.

He wanted to engage in conflict with the Kalie Gang, but he knew he couldn't; he didn't have the ability.

But after Xia took over the family, her first important decision was to completely break ties with the other party and resolutely eliminate the entire underground forces in Ejin City. This kind of courage was something he did not possess.

He was genuinely proud of his son, trusted him, and let him do as he pleased.

Everything seemed to be progressing according to Xia's plan.

But he didn't expect that.

In such a short period of time, Xia came into contact with Nen users.

He naturally knew about those who possessed the mysterious power of Nen.

The Hunter Association's president, that old man who's lived for so long, still occasionally appears on television...

But no media outlet or public opinion has ever mentioned the special nature of their extraordinary abilities!

That's the other side of the world, a secret unknown to ordinary people.

"Your concerns are valid, Xia."

"In battles between ordinary people, if Nen user intervenes, the ordinary person has no chance of winning..."

Jorar closed his eyes, considered it carefully for a moment, and then spoke.

"This kind of thing doesn't just happen in gangs; there are too many past examples to prove it. These are all recorded in your great-grandfather's diary. I've read it. Although some of them seem unbelievable, we really don't dare to gamble on such a probability..."

"My great-grandfather's diary?"

Xia was somewhat surprised; it was the first time he had heard of this.

Jorar looked at him, his eyes softening.

"I originally intended to give this to you on your eighteenth birthday as a formal gift to celebrate your becoming the head of the Sharku Family, but I didn't expect that I would have to tell you earlier."

"Your great-grandfather was also a Nen user..."

"However, for some reason, he didn't leave behind much knowledge about Nen users..."

Xia was taken aback for a moment, then quickly processed the information. She lowered her head, thought for a while, and was still quite puzzled.

Why...?

"Did my great-grandfather think that we couldn't become Nen users?"

He learned from Walker that becoming Nen user required certain aptitudes.

But he couldn't understand why his grandfather seemed so certain that his descendants lacked the aptitude to awaken Nen Abilities, leaving behind not a single word about the techniques and knowledge of using Nen Ability. It simply didn't make sense.

Suddenly, a possibility seemed to pop into his mind, and he said in a deep voice.

"Unless... our great-grandfather didn't want us to become Nen users..."

Upon hearing this, Jorar was slightly taken aback.

Then, his expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes involuntarily glanced into the depths of the shelf displaying all kinds of violins.

However, the thought of Xia quickly made him look away again.

Xia noticed this, but he lowered his eyes and pretended not to see it.

Jorar frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

"In any case, we can't gamble on the enemy's mercy right now, and besides, Mina is still in their hands..."

At this point, he clapped his hands, as if he had thought of something, and quickly added.

"Got it!"

"Your great-grandfather left behind a Seals, saying that if the family encountered a crisis, they could contact the other party. At the time, I thought he was getting senile..."

Thinking of this, he quickly led Xia out of the room, saying as they walked towards the castle's basement.

"Perhaps, this is a token between Nen users!"

"Or maybe... he's just getting senile and talking nonsense..."

"But given the current situation, we have no choice but to give it a try!"

Xia looked curious and asked in confusion.

"Seals?"

"Your great-grandfather also studied this?"

Jorar chuckled softly, as if reminiscing.

"Who knows? In their time, they always liked to study strange and unusual things."

"I remember once your great-grandfather got drunk and shouted that humans were just tiny ants trapped in the middle of a lake, and that there were giant hands outside that blotted out the sky and other nonsense. Your grandfather and I were terrified at the time."

"But thinking about it now, maybe he was telling the truth..."

"In short, we don't know anything about the world of Nen users. Who knows?"

"Arrive!"

The two arrived at a door.

Xia had been to the basement many times, but this time, he was a little nervous.

He seemed about to witness a strange world.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and Jorar quickly began searching the basement.

Found it...

A hazy yellow "Seals".

It read, "125,101 kills in his career."

Certainly.

Neither Jorar nor Xia could understand the words on it; they only felt that it was a strange and complicated Seals.
