Nen ability are the product of the fusion of past experiences and one's own will. Because of this, each Nen ability has a very distinct personal style, a unique mark formed by unforgettable past experiences.

Pairo stood in the partitioned room, his mind churning with thoughts.

He couldn't help but recall that day.

This means that in Aunt Rosana's mind, home does not necessarily represent absolute safety.

However, she also desperately wanted her home to be an absolutely safe haven, free from any disturbance.

Therefore, in her actual home, she had specifically created a completely safe space that outsiders were prohibited from entering. At this moment, Rosana was explaining to the group:

"This space was copied from the space designated as [home], so it's absolutely safe." As she spoke, she pointed to the Family Portrait.

Only those who appear in the Family Portrait and receive the key are allowed to enter this space.

Looking at the Family Portrait, Nion thought to herself that everyone was there, except for her father.

However, she was no longer an ignorant child; she understood that Aunt Rosana and her father did not have much interaction and rarely had any close interactions.

Their relationship seems similar to that of a father and his friends.

So, although she felt some regret, she could understand.

"Why isn't Uncle Kevin in this painting?" Kurapika asked, looking puzzled.

Kevin is in the Family Portrait, but not in this picture.

Although the drawing only depicts simple stick figures, the features of three of the figures clearly identify them.

"Because Kevin hasn't gotten the key yet." Rosana produced a key with Kevin's signature in her hand and gently shook it.

The key matches the image in the Family Portrait.

Only those who are in the Family Portrait photo and have the key will appear in this painting.

Anyone who isn't a fool can understand the meaning behind this painting.

It signifies the Danger Level in their current situation.

The green grassland represents safety, while the area in the middle may represent encountering battle or facing danger.

The final area, however, seemed to represent a deadly crisis.

"I can sense if your little people leave the green meadow," Rosana said, pointing to the long, rectangular painting.

Then, she demonstrated how to move between the inner and outer spaces of the room using the key.

According to Pairo, this ability is a huge advantage when playing at home.

Based on the demonstration, people outside cannot see people inside, but people inside can clearly see people outside and can move to the corresponding positions, thus traversing between inner and outer spaces, and their bodies will appear in the corresponding places.

"Are there any requirements regarding the size of the room? What if it's a large, warehouse-style room?" Pairo couldn't help but ask.

After all, the larger the area that can be called "home", the stronger Rosana's abilities will be.

"The larger the area of my home, the more Nen I consume," Rosana explained.

The size of this Nen Space depends entirely on her Nen limit; once a "home" is set, the corresponding Nen limit will be deducted directly.

Just like Pairo's Butterfly eyes.

"However, the most crucial point is that, centered around the home, within a 10-kilometer radius, you can easily open any door with a key to return home."

Before anyone could ask questions, Rosana added a further explanation of the restrictions, "Only one exit can appear at a time, either for returning home or leaving home."

This restriction even prevents doors to the outside world from being opened from the inside.

That means they jumped out of this space, but they can't open the door outside.

"Mom, does this space have to be based on real space?" Kurapika asked.

His main concern was whether, since a different alternate dimension could already be constructed, there really needed to be a corresponding real-world space.

Rosana looked at her son, smiled, and gently patted his head.

"Kurapika so smart. Having a ready-made room as a reference can greatly reduce the amount of Nen your mother needs to use."

"If this space were constructed without relying on the real world, it would look like our original home—fixed in size and unchangeable, and the consumption of spiritual energy would increase significantly."

Rosana explained it this way.

Kurapika fell into a brief silence as he thought of his former home.

Their original home was probably the one they used to live in the Kurta Clan.

That concludes the introduction to Rosana's Nen ability.

Without a doubt, this is an extremely powerful Nen ability.

"And then, what happens after you activate the Fiery Red Eye?" Pairo asked.

Just like his own Nen ability, once he activates the Fiery Red Eye state, a powerful change occurs, directly altering the strength and nature of his Nen ability.

Rosana knew about this Nen ability, and she must have considered it during the development process.

Everyone turned their curious gaze toward Rosana.

Rosana smiled slightly and gently tapped the painting behind her.

"Once you've crossed the [danger] and entered the [desperate situation], then I can activate my Fiery Red Eye and forcibly bring you home."

Forced to go home?

It seems this painting does indeed have its uses.

Otherwise, merely noticing the dangerous situation each family member is in seems meaningless and only adds to their worries.

Clearly, this ability is a prelude to actions taken after activating Fiery Red Eye.

With such capabilities, there is no doubt that Aunt Rosana will become a key figure in logistical support.

Become everyone's strongest support.

With Rosana's Nen ability— [Home] —Nion's safety level increased exponentially.

That's practically the best bodyguard ability imaginable.

Of course, this ability is limited to protecting family members.

But that's enough.

Based on this Nen ability, Kurapika and the others replanned their operation.

Kurapika then had Nion take over again.

With Rosana's Nen ability and their preparations, the future should have changed.

[Silverwing nests atop the treasure vault, while malicious thieves tear it apart in the storm. Your beloved star, beneath its wings, remains untouched by a single grain of sand.]

[Following the rusty trail of the hunt, birds pecked through the filthy nest. The young beast's skeleton bore its father's eyes; beware, the beast will not give up so easily.]

After the divination was over, Nion, though eager to see Kurapika's Prophecy Poem, refrained from doing so and turned to leave the room.

The children present began to interpret these Prophecy Poem.

Unconsciously, all three people present turned their gazes to Kurapika.

Kurapika pretended to be nonchalant, staring intently at the Prophecy Poem as if it had nothing to do with him, but Pairo clearly wouldn't let him off easily.

In Kurapika's eyes, the words "beloved" in the Prophecy Poem were specially circled in a heart shape and were constantly flashing with light.

This is clearly an emphasis mark.

Kurapika glared fiercely at Pairo.

At this moment, Light spoke up, "But the real spy behind this isn't so easy to deal with."

They have already killed two of the Shadow Beasts and also eliminated the Ten Elders' son.

The problem is, the Ten Elders are still alive.

Having a powerful gang leader eyeing them is ultimately not a good thing.

Gangsters are ruthless and capable of anything, and since they're operating in the shadows, they could strike at any moment.

"So, we'd better find a way to wipe them all out in one fell swoop," Pairo couldn't help but say.

Upon hearing this, Rosana frowned and said directly, "I will not allow you to act rashly. No matter what, the other party is one of the top ten gangsters in the world. They must have Nen user in their hands besides the Shadow Beasts."

"Given the limited information we currently have, rash action could lead to unforeseen and unforeseen consequences."

Although Rosana's vote was driven by her maternal protectiveness, her words were not without merit.

Dealing with the attacking enemy and eliminating the mastermind behind it are two completely different things.

The risks they face are not even in the same league.

Pairo and Rosana have been Nen user for less than six months, while Kurapika, due to an agreement, is not even able to develop his own Nen ability yet.

Unless they are given another year to grow, they are far from capable of eliminating one of the Ten Elders with their current strength.

"Shouldn't we be able to hire Hunter x Hunter? After all, Uncle Kevin is Hunter x Hunter, isn't he?" Kurapika suddenly suggested.

They may not be strong enough now, but there will always be someone strong enough.

The Ten Elders can hire Nen user, and they can also hire them for money, and they are not short of money right now.

To everyone's surprise, Rosana shook her head. "I've looked into the Hunter Association; they're better at handling professional matters."

Or they could work as bodyguards.

"It's difficult to get them to engage in illegal activities or assassinations; reputable Hunter x Hunter wouldn't get involved in that line of work."

However, Kurapika's words did serve as a reminder to everyone.

They don't necessarily have to do everything themselves.

Protecting Nion and Light from threats may be something they'll have to handle themselves, but eliminating external threats is also crucial.

Pairo, Piro slowly pulled a card from his pocket.

It only contains a simple phone number.

"What is that?" Kurapika asked.

"This was given to me by my uncle before he left. It's the phone number of a very skilled assassin," Pairo said.

Hearing this, Light smiled and said, "It seems Kevin anticipated this. In that case, there's no need to hesitate."

Light's trust in Kevin was beyond question; upon hearing that it was Kevin's arrangement, he immediately nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

"So, it must be Nen user killer?" Kurapika asked.

Pairo wasn't sure either.

After all, Kevin only said before he left that this was a very skilled assassin, but since Kevin said that, it's highly likely that he's Nen user.

He said he was Zoldyck Family assassin.

"Zoldyck Family?!" Light suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"You know this family, Uncle Light?" Kurapika asked, turning his head.

Light nodded seriously. "I've heard about it. They say their prices are very high, but they've never failed."

"As long as you can afford the price, they can even help eliminate a national leader."

"National leader!"

Everyone was truly shocked; this was no ordinary gang.

After all, gangs are just forces that operate in the shadows and can only do things that can't be brought to the light.

Since the discussion has turned to resolving the problem once and for all, hiring a hitman seems to be the only option.

Although Kurapika felt somewhat resistant, both prophecies indicated that the other side would not let them off easily.

The three remaining Kurta Clan were now closely bound to Light and Kevin, sharing both glory and ruin.

Faced with such a threat, even Kurapika no longer hesitated to resort to assassination.

Seeing that everyone agreed to hire an assassin, Pairo said, "In that case, let's finalize it and then do another divination. This time, I'll be the one to perform the divination."

Just as they planned at the beginning of the month, after each important action, they would occupy the territory.

To ensure that subsequent events unfold as they expected.

Night.

Vasa City.

In a villa in the city.

Saro was sitting on the sofa, leisurely smoking a cigar and listening to his subordinates' report.

"Nosra Manor is heavily fortified. If we launch a forced attack, we will suffer heavy losses and may alert the enemy."

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Saro nodded.

He then turned his gaze to the two people sitting on the sofa opposite him.

One of them had wide, staring eyes, but his eyeballs seemed unfocused, constantly moving around.

The other person had dark purple skin and a bizarre, deformed body, resembling a long, mutated maggot.

These two are the owl and the Worm, respectively, from the Shadow Beasts.

"According to my intelligence, Kevin isn't at the Manor, which means that right now, for the two of you..."

"The Manor is completely undefended," Saro said, looking at the two members of the Shadow Beasts.

"Heh heh, even if that guy were here, he wouldn't be a match for the two of us," the Worm said with a sharp laugh.

Saro smiled broadly and nodded in agreement, "That's right, he escaped unscathed. However,

We can kidnap Light's traitorous daughter and force him to take Kevin to the location we specify.

"Then I'll trouble you two to teach that arrogant traitor a lesson."

The two members of the Shadow Beasts were already used to such actions and casually waved their hands.

"No problem, it's no big deal."

"Shall we go and kidnap the Nosra Family's young lady tonight?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you two." Saro nodded.

With two members of the Shadow Beasts on the scene, and Kevin, whom he feared, not being in the Manor, Saro felt there was nothing to worry about in this operation.

Just rush in and kidnap them.

Time quickly passed to midnight.

A black sedan slowly drove through the pea-lined mountain road and swaggered to a stop at the Manor gate.

The two members of the Shadow Beasts got out of the car immediately.

They gazed at the Gate of the Manor.

"Quite a few people are hiding here," the Worm chuckled.

The owl continued to roll its mismatched eyes, without uttering a sound.

"Who goes there? Get out! This isn't a place for you!" A gang member placed his hand on his waist.

"Etc."

A boy's voice came from the Gate.

Upon hearing the voice, the gang members turned around and saw it was Pairo. They immediately bowed their heads respectfully.

"Young Master Pairo."

Pairo nodded. "Have your men disperse and not come any closer for now."

The gangster hesitated for a moment, then nodded and gave the order.

Looking at Pairo standing at the door, Worm chuckled, "Did you see that, Owl? That kid Saro's intelligence skills aren't very good."

"There's another Nen user here."

For Nen user, as long as the other party doesn't deliberately hide it, it's easy to tell whether the other party is Nen user like themselves.

After all, there is a big difference between the aura emitted by ordinary people and the aura that Nen user maintain in a [tethered] state.

"Even though he's just a child."

Pairo, who looks like a child, stared at the two of them without looking to the side.

The two men stared directly at Pairo without flinching, their malice pressing down on Pairo without any attempt to hide it.

The brat dares to glare at them.

As members of the Shadow Beasts, they have never done anything honorable.

They will always be the darkest presence in the underworld.

The blood and sins on their hands are countless, and the malice emanating from them is chilling.

"Compared to those guys, they're nowhere near as good."

Pairo stared at the two of them, feeling the malice emanating from them, and silently made his judgment in his heart.

I accidentally put the mark in the other person's eye.

"I don't recall inviting either of you to the Manor. It's getting late, so please leave if you have nothing else to do."

The Worm seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and let out a sharp, shrill laugh.

"He actually let us leave, hahaha."

Suddenly, Xiao's eyes seemed to detect movement within the Manor in the distance.

His body moved instantly, vaulting over the fence, passing Pairo, and rushing into the Manor.

Seeing this, Pairo rushed over to stop him.

But the Worm was faster, emerging directly from the ground in front of Pairo.

"You cunning brat, how dare you stall for time!"

Seeing the owl's actions, the Worm realized that the other side must have been aware of them long ago, and they were probably shifting their target now.

Although they wouldn't let the other escape, tracking was ultimately a hassle.

However, the kidnapping was more than a task that Xiao could handle alone.

"You brat, have you ever tasted what it's like to be buried alive?" The Worm glared fiercely at Pairo.

At this moment, Pairo seemed to be anxiously looking into the Manor.
