Greed Island x A Tycoon's Love

Nosra Manor.

The building at the very center of the Manor, directly opposite the entrance, is the core of the Manor. Kevin and the others reside here.

This building has five floors and is equipped with all kinds of functional rooms.

One of the dance studios was just a week ago a warehouse full of junk.

Perhaps the designer had a wonderful vision when designing this building.

For example, imagine a wealthy person living here whose children or wife are dance enthusiasts, or a family that needs such a place.

Light probably had a similar dream, imagining that Nion would love to dance.

But the reality is, Nion is a total lazybones.

Before Kevin and his friends arrived, Nion was heading in the direction of becoming spoiled.

Her hobbies are buying and purchasing clothes.

After Kevin arrived, Nion's "hellish training" began.

The dance studio has now been cleared out.

A graceful figure is dancing among them.

The morning sunlight streamed in through a row of floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the dance studio like a golden palace.

Kevin sat to the side, watching with a smile.

Dancing in the center is Melusina, whose legs have recovered.

Since her legs recovered, Melusina's favorite thing to do now is to do all kinds of leg exercises.

Running, hiking, and dancing are her favorite activities, as if she wants to make full use of her legs, which she hasn't used for more than a decade, in this short period of time.

Melodious music flowed gently around, filling the entire dance studio.

As the music played, Melusina danced like a Butterfly in the palace. When the music ended, Melusina twirled and fell into Kevin's arms.

Did you have a good time dancing?

"It'll never be enough," Melusina said with a smile, gently stroking Kevin's face.

"Let's wait until next time then, I have something important to do today."

With that, Kevin stood up and picked up Melusina.

"No, put me down, I want to walk by myself."

"Sounds like a little kid."

However, Kevin still did as he was told and put her down.

Upon reaching the door, Melusina became troubled.

There was a row of all kinds of shoes displayed at the entrance.

Which pair do you think I should wear?

Besides her passion for leg-related sports, Melusina is also particularly interested in all kinds of shoes and socks.

Since I couldn't walk before, I naturally didn't have that need.

Wearing pretty shoes and socks has now become her hobby.

Kevin fully supported her hobby.

I have to say, this hobby is really great!

However, after struggling with the choice, Melusina ultimately put on the cotton slippers.

It's a little bit of a pity.

The two walked to the living room.

Light was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and flipping through the newspaper in his hand.

Kurapika and his two companions were also sitting on the sofa nearby, chatting about something.

Upon seeing Melusina, Nion stood up, quickly walked over, took her hand, and pulled her aside to whisper to her.

Kevin sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of tea.

"How is the situation?"

Light Te nodded.

"Batler certainly desperately needs medical resources, but it seems not for himself, but for others."

Regardless, he has started contacting me, though he seems very cautious.

He also had Nen user acting as bodyguards.

This information was revealed by Daznuer, who was responsible for his personal protection.

Kevin nodded and said, "Then tell him that if he wants treatment, he has to bring the patient here. He doesn't need to bring him to the Manor; the hospital in the city will do."

No matter what the illness is, I can't guarantee a cure before I see the patient, so I need to at least examine them.

Light nodded; this was within his expectations, and that was also his response to Batler.

Kevin then looked at Kurapika.

Kurapika returned the Hunter License, saying, "According to the information I found, this wealthy man has been recruiting various Nen user and Professional Hunter to complete the game. This has been going on for many years, but no one has yet been able to complete it."

The pay he offered wasn't low, but it wasn't high either, considering he was hiring a lot of people.

However, the fact that he offered a reward of 50 billion to those who completed the game, plus the fact that those who met the conditions could enter the game for free, made many people willing to join.

Although it's unclear which specific card in the game he wants, it's certain to be a healing card.

In addition, Kurapika learned a lot about the game, but since they haven't even gotten their hands on the Game Console yet, this information is temporarily useless.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. We'll make further plans once that wealthy man's patient arrives."

After the discussion, Pairo said, "Sales of the potion have begun to expand steadily. According to records, each member has purchased it at least twice."

Recently, many Hunter x Hunter and Nen user have heard about this and gone to physical stores to buy the potion, but the purchase quota is limited.

Therefore, there have recently been instances of Hunter x Hunter attempting to steal potions along the way. In just the last two months, Locke has been intercepted twice.

Upon hearing this, Kevin frowned.

Kurapika and Pairo are very talented and spend most of their time training at the Manor, occasionally taking turns guarding the shop.

Gowen, who joined in the last few months, will participate in the rotation in addition to training.

This gave everyone some more free time.

But if we have to send someone with Locke to transport the medicine, that would be a bit troublesome.

Having Locke in charge of transportation is fine in itself, but if he's left unattended and allowed to frequently encounter ambushes along the way, it would be too dangerous.

It must be admitted that Locke's Nen ability is indeed not good for combat, especially when he is ambushed, he is easily put at a disadvantage.

In the two interceptions, Locke only managed to turn the tables once; the other time, he barely managed to escape.

Kevin underestimated the allure of his potion and overestimated the limits of these Nen user.

Unable to buy, purchase limits? Then just grab it!

They had no qualms whatsoever; one of their robberies even took place in a city street, resulting in the deaths of at least three ordinary civilians. As for the so-called "tweezers," they were practically meaningless to Nen user.

There are quite a few Nen user who are obsessive and have low moral standards.

Furthermore, when Kevin returned earlier, he had planned to take Kurapika and Pairo to the Sky Arena.

That was a small training ground for them; fighting several battles on the 200th Floor had almost become a traditional activity for them when teaching students.

However, that's where the problem lies.

Because of the Pharmacy, staff allocation has become a problem.

If you're bringing Kurapika and Pairo, you'll have to bring Nion too.

This leaves Rosana as the only remaining person in the shop. Rosana's Nen ability is highly functional, allowing her to defend herself without problems, but she lacks offensive capabilities.

It's not that Kevin doesn't want to hire people, it's just that he now understands that whether it's Professional Hunter or those Nen user are just doing it in their spare time, their strength isn't that great.

What's the point of recruiting people who are untrustworthy and weak?

Unless Nen ability have other special functions.

Just like the professional breeders on the Manor, although they are not very strong, their Nen ability are exactly what Kevin needs.

"How about we consider going to Meteor City?" Light suggested.

After all, he had only been the company president for a year, and had spent most of his life in the underworld; his mindset hadn't fully changed yet.

"Meteor City?" Kevin frowned; he seemed to have heard of this place before.

Kurapika and Pairo looked grave and remained silent.

Light then realized that their enemy seemed to have come from Meteor City.

"I remember now, it's that 'garbage dump,' right?"

Light Te nodded.

"In the past, gangs from all over the country preferred to recruit from there."

Meteor City can be described as a terrible product created jointly by various countries.

The personnel registration systems of various countries are so rigorous that they seem out of place in this era.

Despite ongoing conflicts between countries and frequent wars between smaller nations.

But there is, by chance, an internationally recognized personnel information registration system.

Anyone born into the human world must register.

Moreover, its network information protection is extremely robust, far exceeding the technical standards of this era.

It's clear that various Nen user are involved.

And those political figures from various countries, those with privileges, and those with connections can easily use this system to find the information about the people they want.

Kevin suspects that such an information registration system is itself a condition for some kind of Nen ability.

This suspicion intensified, especially after learning about the Dark Continent.

However, the fact that everyone's information can be accessed is very inconvenient for some politicians.

Someone has to do something shady, right?

But it's too troublesome because the information is easily traced after the illicit work is done.

Thus, the unexpected Meteor City came into being.

Any unwanted "trash" from the human world can be thrown there.

In addition to actual trash, discarded items are also included.

This even includes infants.

In other places, even abandoned babies must be registered, but babies abandoned in Meteor City are exempt from registration.

In other words, it was a gathering place for unregistered people; no information was registered for those who came out of there, and no registration record was left.

They are perfect for acting as the masterminds behind things.

If this wasn't intentional, Kevin would write his name backwards.

Therefore, all sorts of shady organizations, global gangs, assassins, and criminal groups treat Meteor City as a talent market, recruiting there every year.

For the people of Meteor City, these organizations are also a good place to go.

Because Meteor City is a dog-eat-dog world with absolutely no moral bottom line.

They were completely indifferent to all kinds of murder and other crimes.

It's fair to say that the two sides were perfectly in sync.

It's hard to imagine that such a place could exist in such a modern era.

The infamous Phantom Troupe is the most famous criminal organization that emerged from Meteor City, and has become the benchmark for this type of organization.

The slogans they left behind after committing their crimes became famous sayings used by Meteor City to intimidate external forces.

However, Kevin felt that this was meaningless.

From the perspective of the major powers that truly need Meteor City, the Phantom Troupe is like a laughable Chimera Ant.

Recalling these memories, Kevin waved his hand.

"Forget it, forget it, we shouldn't go to places like that. It's not to the point where we absolutely have to recruit people from there."

Just recruit normally. Send the recruitment information to [Thousand Ears Society]. Daznuer, you're in charge of this.

"Ah? Yes." Daznuer hadn't expected to have this task.

Kevin then looked at Gowen behind him. "You are responsible for testing the strength and character of the recruits. Their strength should not be weaker Daznuer's, or their Nen ability should have practical value."

As for character, as long as they aren't too wicked, they're acceptable.

Gowen nodded; this was not a difficult task for him.

Kevin plans to recruit a large number of people to completely solve the staff shortage problem.

After Light made contact with the wealthy man, he acted swiftly.

Two days later, Light found Kevin again.

"Batler has arrived; he has bought a hospital in the city and renovated it."

The area is heavily guarded now; the patient should have already been taken inside.

Hearing this, Kevin was somewhat surprised, then nodded.

It seems the other party is indeed in a hurry.

"Then lead the way."

The two took a car to the city center and went into a hospital.

The hospital looked no different from any other hospital, but Kevin keenly sensed that it was surrounded by hidden sentries.

The defense was indeed tight.

It seems the patients inside are of great importance to this wealthy man.

After getting out of the car, they were led into the hospital by bodyguards.

A middle-aged man with an impressive appearance came forward.

It was the wealthy Batler.

"Mr. Nosra, and who is this?"

Light shook hands with the other person and introduced, "This is my partner, Kevin Beg. A one-star Professional Hunter, and also the doctor in charge of the treatment."

When Batler heard that Kevin was One-star Hunter, his eyes lit up.

Although he had previously asked Star Rank Hunter x Hunter for help with his treatment, hearing Kevin's identity reassured him considerably.

This is the reputation effect of the Hunter Association.

While being Star Rank Hunter x Hunter doesn't guarantee a successful treatment, this status at least demonstrates Kevin's capability.

"This Mr. Beg"

"Don't be so polite, just call me Kevin."

Without further ado, Kevin said, "Let me go see the patient first. I need to check if I can treat him."

If possible, we can discuss this in more detail; if not, there's no point in saying more.

Batler nodded and led the two directly into a luxuriously decorated hospital room.

A woman with a pure and beautiful face lay on the hospital bed.

Is it a daughter?

"This is my lover."

Oh, so it's your lover. There's quite a big age gap between them.

Then Batler began his narration.

He started by talking about his illness, but as he went on, he began to tell the story of how he met and fell in love with the woman in his bed.

As a wealthy man, Batler was certainly not stupid, and he was never short of women.

So when he first met this woman, he didn't reveal his identity, nor did he intend to.

He thus concealed his identity and fell in love with her.

Only after confirming the other person's feelings did they reveal everything.

However, the result was beyond his expectations; the woman was more happy than angry.

But she was still very angry because of his deception and wanted to leave him.

This made Batler realize that the woman truly loved him, so he pursued her relentlessly and won her back with his sincerity.

As for how much of it is true, Kevin couldn't judge, after all, it's their private matter.

However, the woman later fell into a coma due to her illness and is now in a vegetative state.

This caused Batler immense grief, and he searched tirelessly for a way to save her.

"I originally wanted to complete the game [Greed Island] so that I could get three cards to use after completing it."

One of the cards is called "[Breath of the Archangel]", which can only be used once, but can cure any ailment, including acquired physical disabilities and organ loss.

Kevin listened without showing any emotion.

He became increasingly curious about the game; if what he said was true, how was that possible?

Can Nen ability really reach such unimaginable levels?

How deep is Gin's understanding of Nen ability, being at the forefront of the world?

"Let me see."

As he spoke, Kevin walked to the bedside and took out a vial from his belt.

Clearly, Light and Batler had communicated beforehand and did not obstruct the process.

Because the woman was in a vegetative state, Kevin used Syringe to inject the medication into her body.

This potion has only been used on Melusina before, to probe the condition of enemies.

As the medicine took effect, Kevin infused his Nen Aura into the woman's body.

Half an hour later, Kevin opened his eyes.

"It's a neurological disorder, and the problem is in the brain."

No wonder no one has been able to cure it, and no one has dared to treat it.

If something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?

However, there should be someone among the Hunter x Hunter who can cure him, but Batler hasn't found anyone and has no way to do so.

Essentially, this is the same type of illness as Pairo 'Pairo, only more severe and located in a more difficult-to-treat area.

"It will take some time, but a full recovery is not a problem."

"Really? That's wonderful, that's wonderful, I—"
