The sheet that Silva carried on his broad shoulders was slowly seeping blood.

Jorar and Xia looked at each other in bewilderment.

Without hesitation, the group quickly got into the car and headed towards the Sharku Family's castle after hearing his words.

Along the way.

Silva fell into deep thought.

He said those things to Jorar and Xia because he felt he had made a mistake in his judgment.

In the hospital.

He had already subjected the man named Dreyn to a period of torture.

But unexpectedly...

The other party stubbornly refused to say a word.

It all boils down to one sentence: he's just an ordinary person who knows nothing.

If you continue to press them, they're already contemplating suicide...

You should know...

Even if not all of the torture methods used by the Zoldyck Family are employed, they are the result of countless trials and tribulations, and are generally unbearable for ordinary people.

The other person is just an ordinary person and shouldn't have such awareness.

And... all the other party's forbearance was for the sake of others.

This is precisely what's troublesome for Silva —the guy who can make an ordinary person so patient...

It was almost like a devout faith.

A person who can inspire such dedication in others is no ordinary individual; they possess exceptional leadership qualities...

It is currently known that the other party is Nen user.

Exceptional leadership, gang operations, and Nen Abilities —these all introduce many variables...

This would be a very difficult situation to deal with.

In general, the other group was not a group of indiscriminate killers. If he hadn't taken action, he might have been able to choose to negotiate in another way. But Silva understood that since he had already taken action, a conflict had been created between the two sides.

Silva had naturally considered all of the above.

Unfortunately, they misjudged the other party's resilience, and as a result, the situation is heading towards the worst possible outcome.

Silva didn't hide anything from Xia and Jorar, explaining everything in detail.

After all, his appearance was specifically for the sake of the Xierku Family.

We've unintentionally gotten them into trouble. If we don't tell them now, and the problem drags on, this family won't be able to afford the retaliation from Nen user.

Upon hearing Silva's words, Xia and Jorar gasped.

No... this is already provoking a powerful figure?

They quickly looked towards the back of the car at the blood-stained figure wrapped in a bed sheet!

Should we go back to the hospital?

Let's see if there's any chance of saving it!?

Ian woke up the next day with a slight frown.

He clutched his chest with his small hand, feeling as if he had experienced sleep paralysis last night.

Otherwise, why would I feel even more tired after taking a nap?

I left home in the morning.

When he greeted Machi, he sensed that Machi's expression was a little off; her face was flushed, and her eyes kept darting around.

Ian didn't think much of it and went to a Wallpaper House where he met the captives Mina and Walker.

Mina's previously swollen face had already recovered.

However, although she has regained her previous delicate features, a closer look reveals that the little girl is noticeably plumper than before.

There was no other way; Ian had been in a good mood these past few days, and the little girl had been behaving herself ever since she was captured, not daring to be stubborn again. So, Ian would always use a "Tasting Spoon" to give her some treats.

Kids are easy to please when there's something delicious to eat.

Well... seeing that this little girl's personality has improved a lot, I estimate that if she stays here for another month, she'll be able to get rid of her previous willful princess temper.

This method works much more realistically and effectively than Certain Plan...

Walker was by Mina's side.

Walker's face was bruised and swollen again after just one night.

What's going on?

Ian had a general idea, but he didn't say much.

It's definitely that Uvogin guy!

Thinking about the gadget Uvogin received yesterday, he roughly understood.

"It's nothing, he just bumped into the wall..."

Walker remained stubborn; there was no way he would admit to being beaten by some pervert in front of this hateful brat who could control people!

The thought of that perverted man coming to him last night and telling him to take a gamble made his jaw ache.

A whole night!

Every time its venomous fangs are about to bite the other person.

That damn bastard always inexplicably lets out a weird yell of "Haohyougen!"

Then, all he could see was his opponent's figure, shining like a light bulb, as his opponent slowly threw a punch into the air in a bizarre pose, knocking him out!

It wasn't very powerful, but it was embarrassing!

Walker was a tough nut to crack; the more he fought, the braver he became, and the more brave he became, the more he fought. In the end Uvogin "slept Haohyougen" all night, then patted his butt and went to sleep, completely satisfied.

He was left with bruises and swelling on his face.

Ian did not expose the other party's clumsy lie.

Men care about their reputation. As the saying goes, "Don't hit someone in the face." Since the other person has already gone this far, saying anything more might just provoke him.

"Ahem... Well, we've spent a lot of time together these past few days, it's time to visit your relatives and friends."

Mina and Walker, a younger sister and a best friend.

Friends and family, no problem...

Ian was also somewhat interested in the prodigy from the Sharku Clan named "Xia".

Of course, it's nothing...

He just wanted to see if the other person was also a time traveler.

After all, they had never heard of the other person's name in the comics before.

To be able to befriend Nen user like "Rabid Dog" while remaining an ordinary person is no small feat.

And then he heard what Ian said.

The two men's facial expressions and reactions were completely different.

Mina's little face was beaming with joy. After being kidnapped for so long, she was finally able to go home. She longed to see her loving father and brother.

Walker, however, straightened up.

Over the past few days, he had roughly discovered that although the group consisted of children, they were all Nen users.

Moreover, what's truly terrifying is that he couldn't determine what kind of Nen Ability the other party possessed.

After all, just two days ago he had seen Uvogin, who clearly possessed enhanced Nen abilities, "swim" across the floor of their room with such a lively and graceful manner.

This is not something a "Enhancement can do!

In the team in front of us.

There must be someone with Nen Ability that is extremely strange, even beyond the comprehension of common sense. In Walker's opinion, the most likely candidate is this smiling brat in front of him!

Their arrival at the Sharku Clan was certainly not a friendly affair...

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do to help Xia at this point; he could only tell her to fend for herself.

Walker remained silent.

Mina, who was standing to the side, had already spilled the beans, revealing all the daily residences of the Sharku Clan.

Not long after.

Ian and his group are ready to depart for the Xierku Family.

This morning, Palu went back to his wife's parents' home early in the morning.

He had waited all night to bring the "Longevity Lock" to his child, and he wondered if his wife would complain about him again this time.

This time.

Ian was genuinely going to visit the Sharku Clan, and he even brought Mina and Walker with him.

He had prepared for both scenarios.

One approach is soft, the other hard; it all depends on which one the other party responds to.

With his current weapon in hand, Ian exudes an aura of absolute confidence.

The group quickly drove away.

At this moment, everyone was no longer the rookie who was chased and slunk away from Meteor City.
