"Outliers" are beings that are completely different from the vast majority.

Every group has its "outliers".

Even Silva himself was once Zoldyck Family.

"To be an enemy of the world...?"

Silva pondered the other person's words carefully, and when he looked up, his expression was somewhat complicated.

"Young man, do you... really know what you're saying?"

Some say that the sign of a man's maturity is whether he still believes he is the center of the world.

As a young man, Silva also believed that he was the protagonist of this world.

Born into a prestigious family of assassins, he honed his skills through rigorous training, enabling him to easily complete his family's assassination missions.

On the path of Nen, he has gone further than many of the older generation of powerful individuals, and his understanding of Nen is more profound than that of 90% of Nen users.

But when he suddenly looked back...

Only then did I realize that I had lost the courage to fight against this world.

He didn't know when he started to abandon those naive ideas he once had.

It's about challenging yourself, facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and realizing the limitations of human nature...

While on a mission, witnessing the inexhaustible, deep-seated malice originating from the very depths of the human heart...

In short, he began to become like his father Zeno, becoming taciturn and no longer thinking too much, simply treating himself as a tool to carry out killing missions.

He told himself that this was the destiny of the Assassin Family, and also Assassin Family final destination.

And that is precisely why.

He would be taken aback and fall silent when he suddenly heard something similar to what he had said to his father when he was young, "I don't want to be just an assassin, I want to stand at the top of the world."

But.

Silva didn't know was that the boy in front of him... had a cheat code.

Ian dares to say it, and he really dares to do it!

"You think I can see into the future? Do you really think I don't know what I'm facing?"

"I have no grudge against the Zoldyck Family, but I am very unhappy with what you did to my subordinates. Whether or not I kill you is entirely up to you."

At this moment, Ian looked at the other person calmly.

"While the Zoldyck Family is strong, they still fall short compared to the behemoths among human organizations."

"And my opponents are them. You should know how insignificant so-called family power is in the face of an organization like this."

He did not lie to Silva.

The 4D Objects he possesses have functions far beyond the scope of normal Nen users. If this information were to leak, those at the top of humanity would inevitably covet his abilities!

There's no need to even think about it.

Humans are such greedy creatures...

He, of course, would not compromise, and a battle between the two sides was inevitable sooner or later.

It is precisely because we are very clear about the level of enemies we will be facing in the future.

So.

Ian wants to recruit as many talented people as possible.

Upon hearing the other person's words, Silva fell silent.

Only then did he realize that the child in front of him was not the same as himself.

The other party seemed to know very well from the beginning what they were about to face.

Perhaps it was due to his Nen Ability to foresee the future, or perhaps it was due to the other party's precociousness, but the reason they ended up in this situation stemmed from one of his misjudgments.

Since that's the case...

"Kill me, I hope you can abandon your prejudice and desire for revenge against the Zoldyck Family..."

"I will leave a will, telling my family members to abandon my revenge against you. This is my choice, and also my way of explaining myself to you."

"If you could see the future, you would understand that I am not lying."

Silva spoke slowly and calmly.

Ian paused slightly, scrutinizing the other person carefully, as if trying to discern whether that was truly what they thought.

Silva, on the other hand, remained calm and composed.

He was not afraid of death.

He simply didn't want to create a terrifying enemy for his family before he died.

This young man before me is destined to become a top-tier Nen Ability user. If my misjudgment causes a rift between us and my family...

Then one's own death would be meaningless.

He doesn't need his family members to avenge him.

If the opponent's Nen Ability wasn't so extraordinary, he wouldn't be waiting here waiting for orders.

However... the combination of that Cursed Doll and his Nen Ability, which could nullify his attacks and even affect his Nen circulation, was far too troublesome.

Even Silva felt powerless.

His power was not even fully utilized before he ended up in this situation.

They couldn't fight back, and they couldn't run away either.

Even if his father came, he probably wouldn't return. Until the mechanism of the other's Nen Ability is understood and a solution is found, anyone facing this boy would likely suffer.

This is also why Silva judged that the other party would inevitably become a top-tier Nen user in the future.

There's no way to counter this Nen Ability mechanism for 99% of people.

Perhaps someone can find a solution.

But that would probably be long after this young man had already become famous...

Silva didn't want the Zoldyck Family clan to become one of those who had followed in his footsteps and died before him, all for his sake.

Ian frowned upon hearing Silva's words.

Are all Zoldyck Family people this tough?

He didn't intend to kill the other person.

After all, the other party's clan seemed to have some ties with the Dark Continent. If he really killed Silva here, Ian dared to say that they would definitely face the full-scale assassination of the Zoldyck Family clan.

This isn't something that Silva can simply decide won't retaliate on his own.

Maha, that unfathomable Nen user, is still alive...

And there's Zigg.

Perhaps, like Don Freecss, he is currently traversing the Dark Continent.

And.

He was not a bloodthirsty person.

He has made it very clear that whether or not to kill the other person is entirely up to him.

So you're not going to apologize or offer compensation after hurting my person...?

Just as Ian was hesitating whether to remind the other party...

"Squeak--"

Located at the entrance to the fourth-floor staircase, under Machi's guard.

Jorar, Yamina, and the others slowly walked out.

"Ian..."

Machi hesitated, as if she had something to say to Ian looked puzzled.

Jorar looked much older, and seemed relieved. He was carrying a stack of items wrapped in sheepskin. With Xia's help, he walked over unsteadily.

"My lord, please spare Silva..."

Even without showing their faces, those on the fourth floor could directly feel the terror of the battle between Nen users!

That was a fear more terrifying than being on a battlefield.

That chilling, malevolent Malice clashed and seemed to devour everyone—a terrifying aura that neither Jorar nor Xia wanted to experience a second time.

That's why they understood their great-grandfather's good intentions.

The world of Nen users is a realm ordinary people can't even enter; it's terrifying!!

My great-grandfather was the most thoughtful.

It would be best if their family were just treated like ordinary people...

"Jorar..."

Below, Silva Jorar appear, his expression silent.

It seemed she was thinking of her father's words of advice at home.

Unexpectedly, his only mission that wasn't a formal operation was about to end in failure.

"My lord, this is a treasure passed down through generations of our family. Please, for the sake of your men who are still alive and for Silva who has not committed a grave offense, spare him."
