However, Uchiha Hiko's sudden disappearance gave Zeno Zoldyck quite a fright. He had vanished without a trace, completely undetected. What kind of power allowed for such a method of movement?
Netero looked at his frustrated old friend and suddenly laughed. "My old friend, my old friend, you still haven't figured things out."
"What haven't I figured out?"
Zeno Zoldyck still had not caught on.
"You should never have stated your purpose outright. He let you talk, and you fucking actually said it? Are you stupid?"
It was rare for Netero to curse. It showed just how smug he felt inside.
"Uh... I thought he was easy to talk to just now. I thought he was pretty straightforward."
"Wrong. You didn't listen carefully. What he really meant was that people like you should know better than to tell the truth and get lost. You just had to make him say it outright. You really are something else."
"Uh... I see. So I guess I gave him a rather unpleasant impression just now?"
"Obviously. That was simply ridiculous. Who do you think you are? You wanted to test his strength? Are you sure you weren't looking to get yourselves killed? One finger from him could probably crush your entire Zoldyck Family so thoroughly that you'd never recover."
"Pfft... Isn't that a bit too serious?"
Netero said nothing. In truth, he knew Uchiha Hiko's personality. He would not stoop to argue with a lowly family like this.
As long as they did not provoke him, it would be fine.
So Netero said, "You know what to say when you get back. His disappearing into thin air just now should have shown you that he's different, right? Don't overstep your bounds. If anything happens, you'll carry it yourself."
With that, Netero waved his hand.
