Around Palu's house.

Like a lurking cheetah, Silva lies hidden in the shadows, patiently waiting for his prey.

A whole day.

He followed the clues from morning until he found Ian and the others' hideout, but unfortunately, he found the house empty.

A top-tier assassin never lacks patience.

Silva's original plan was to wait until the other party returned.

However, the other party did not return by evening.

Silva thought for a moment and decided to go back first to explain the situation to Jorar and Xia.

Perhaps, they missed each other by sheer chance, only to find each other's locations by sheer coincidence.

Night has fallen.

Silva acted swiftly and soon returned to the Sharku Clan Castle.

This night... seems unusually quiet.

Silva didn't notice anything unusual about the castle and slowly walked in.

In a corner of the castle, Pakunoda, whose entire body was hidden in Invisible Cloak, noticed the newcomer. Her pretty face tensed, and she tried to regulate her breathing, trying to keep it even.

The opponent is very powerful; Ian has already stated that.

However, even with such a powerful opponent, according to their plan, as long as the opponent makes the slightest mistake, they will surely be captured!

They had been lying in ambush for a long time.

The two sides are currently in a state of information asymmetry, so they are not without a chance!

Thinking of this, Pakunoda remained calm, her fingers silently resting on a prop that resembled a weighing scale.

[Gravity Regulator] By adjusting the knob, you can adjust the amount of gravity in a space!

"Three... two... one!"

She watched the distance the other person had traveled into the castle, silently calculating it in her mind.

Just when she judged that the other party would have difficulty escaping quickly.

The next moment!

Her eyes narrowed, she abruptly turned the knob, and then shouted.

"Now!!"

"Let's all join forces!"

"There's a murderous aura about him!!"

Silva's previously calm expression changed slightly, his pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints, and a powerful burst of Nen erupted from his body!

His silver hair danced in the air.

The next moment, his figure vanished from his spot, yet his imposing physique was remarkably agile, almost becoming a blur, like a Thunder- striking Leopard moving swiftly!

The enemy who just made that sound is there!

At this moment Silva's eyes were cold and sharp; in the darkness, his eyes resembled those of a wild beast.

Even though he couldn't see the other person's location, he trusted his own judgment.

"Is Nen user with the ability to become invisible?" Silva wondered to himself.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye!

In that brief moment, Silva realized that the enemy he had been searching for had already come knocking on his door before him.

The opponent is a group of Nen users, so there's no need to hold back. Let's take care of one enemy first!

"Thunderclap!"

Silva rapidly approached the location from which the sound originated, his Silva icy, two blinding balls of electricity gathering in his palms!

However, at that moment, he suddenly slipped and almost fell over.

Silva's pupils contracted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

How is that possible!?

Is it the other person's Nen Ability?

How could a seasoned assassin like him make such a basic mistake?

He suddenly twisted his waist, using exceptional control to steady his body.

Just as he was about to make another move.

He felt an immense force pressing down on him indiscriminately, his feet suddenly sinking, his knees buckling, and a look of horror appearing on his face.

This is...!!

At this moment, Ian and the others who appeared from the second floor all had flushed faces, as if they were enduring something.

"Take action immediately!"

"Even with Threefold Gravity, we can't last long."

Upon hearing this, Franklin, who had been acting foolishly, immediately knelt down, set up his "Infinite-Fill Gatling Gun," and began unleashing a barrage of fire at the opponent!

"Da da!"

The flames spewed out relentlessly, and even in the environment of Threefold Gravity, where accuracy was completely lacking, they still destroyed everything in their path.

Silva's expression hardened, and the instant he saw the other party move, he swiftly sprang into action.

The three times the gravity seemed to have no effect on him.

"Damn it, as expected... this didn't affect him much!"

Ian's expression was rather grim.

At this moment, he was actually glad that he hadn't made a move. If he had revealed his intentions, the chance for a decisive victory would have been completely gone!

At this moment, he held up the "Cursed Camera" in his left hand and wore the "Good Friend Ring" on his right, waiting for the opponent to reveal a momentary opening so he could strike!

"Tap tap..."

Under the Infinite-Fill Gatling Gun, the wooden structures inside the castle were reduced to utter devastation.

Even though Franklin's marksmanship was decent, and he adjusted his aim in time, unleashing a barrage of fire that followed Silva's back, unfortunately, he failed to inflict any damage.

"We've finally found you."

At that moment, Silva looked up at Ian, his eyes icy cold.

Although the other party used strange abilities to restrict his movements, it was only a slight constraint.

Ian stared intently at the other person, his expression grave.

This isn't an anime; we're directly facing a top-tier assassin like Silva. It would be a lie to say there's no sense of pressure.

However, he had also told Uvogin and the Uvogin that the newly formed Dawn was not one to be bullied!

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!

Just then...

"Whoosh..."

Two figures suddenly leaped out of the ground beneath Silva's feet!

A powerful punch!

Uvogin's figure was like a fish leaping out of the water; his attack missed, and he fell heavily back into the "ground".

"Laugh!"

A cold glint flashed, Silva, without even blinking, dodged backward, his gaze fixed on the two people in front of him, seemingly deep in thought.

Nobunaga was not discouraged despite missing his first strike.

He learned from Ian that the other party was already one of the best Nen users.

If one could easily strike such an opponent, it would be a gross underestimation of these powerful individuals who have fought their way out of death.

Everything was just to create an opportunity for Ian!

Moreover, with Ian's props around, they weren't too worried.

Among the team, only Nobunaga and Uvogin unconditionally trusted Ian, who was constantly creating miracles.

"Tch... No wonder he's a strong member of the Zoldyck Family clan..."

After Nobunaga finished speaking, his figure disappeared back into the ground.

Silva watched all this with a cold gaze, inwardly quite surprised.

These children, who were clearly not much older than Illumi, all possessed incredibly strange Nen Abilities...

At the same time.

Ian looked a little nervous.

The plan failed somewhat; the Threefold Gravity environment couldn't suppress the opponent's speed much at all.

If you want to control the other person using the "Cursed Camera" or the "Good Friend Ring," you'll need a bit of luck.

"Call..."

"It's up to you now, Feitan!"

Below.

As Franklin's Nen was almost completely depleted, the bullets that had been flying everywhere finally stopped firing.

Silva stood still, feeling the weight on his body, and surveyed his enemies on the field.

"One is invisible, two can burrow underground, and... that gun, is it Conjuration...? However, it seems their Nen is exhausted..."

"And then there's... the invisible force of gravity."

"Sure enough, these kids are quite troublesome to deal with, especially once they grow up."

Thinking of this, Silva's eyes turned cold, and finally, his gaze shifted to Ian on the second floor, and he thought to himself.

"Most importantly... is this child their leader...?"

"You've held back until now without making a move. Are you very confident in your abilities? What are the conditions for activating your abilities? Do you need to wait for a certain period of time or are there any prerequisites?"

"Let's test the waters first, no matter what!"
