Illumi emerged from the darkness.

When Kevin and Melusina looked at him, he slightly raised his hands, indicating that he had no intention of doing anything dangerous.

Of course, Kevin knew this all along.

He didn't sense any malice from Illumi.

Malice is not the same as murderous intent. As an assassin, Illumi was able to control his murderous intent well during assassinations.

But malice is a manifestation of will; as long as there is a desire to harm others, it cannot be hidden.

Unless one possesses the relevant Nen ability.

Illumi silently watched the two people in front of him.

His first notice was naturally of Kevin.

My first feeling was that I had become stronger.

This surprised even someone with his naturally calm and aloof personality.

He had only met Kevin three times in total.

The first time they were evenly matched, and if he was willing to pay the price, he could defeat his opponent.

The second time was vastly different; let alone killing the opponent, he could only try to escape in a direct confrontation.

This third time, he keenly sensed that even if he wanted to escape, he had no chance.

It's truly incomprehensible.

He then turned his gaze to Melusina.

He had information about this woman who had an extremely close relationship with Kevin.

While I can't say I know everything about Melusina, I do have a general idea.

He just hadn't expected this strange woman to be so perceptive of danger.

They found him so easily.

"You didn't take some job to kill me, did you?"

Looking at Illumi, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, Kevin asked with a smile.

Illumi simply shook his head in response to Kevin's joke.

He extended two fingers, flicked them, and the gold Member Card was sandwiched between them.

Looking at this Member Card.

Kevin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Is it another customer coming in?

What happened today?

When I came back, I found that business was surprisingly good.

Before his disappearance, Kevin's Pharmacy had been open for quite some time, but he had almost never received a custom order for a potion.

Of course, it also depends on the membership level.

After all, only gold-level members have the authority to customize medicines.

At that time, the gold members were probably still observing and had some doubts about the potion's efficacy and effects.

"Custom-made medicine?"

Illumi wasn't surprised that Kevin had guessed his purpose for coming; he simply nodded.

"My father Silva Zoldyck Family, invited you to my home to prepare a potion for my younger brother Zoldyck Family." Illumi explained his purpose.

Strange, Kevin thought of the little boy with the white hair.

Speaking of which, he used to be Xiao Qi's friend in the Sky Arena, and he even secretly learned some combat techniques from him.

Kevin never saw Qi again after that, but he did hear about it from Pairo, because Qi was one of the people who accepted the order when Kevin placed it.

Of course, it's mostly for exercise.

Therefore, Kevin is not opposed to such customization.

But-

"Going to your house? Can't we go inside Qilai Manor?"

If Kevin brings Qi directly to the Manor, Kevin can also take the opportunity to check it out and plan how to customize it.

This won't have any impact; in fact, it will improve efficiency somewhat.

However, if we go to the Qi family, we can only do so after Kevin finishes his two custom orders.

Upon hearing Kevin's words, Illumi nodded without hesitation.

"That's right, come to our house."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and even offered an explanation.

"Qi is still very young, and his family is worried about letting him stay outside for long periods of time."

Illumi didn't care whether his family's attitude was truly like that; he simply believed it was.

He hadn't forgotten how close Kevin and Qi were a few years ago.

Go to the assassin's house.

Kevin thought for a moment.

Honestly, Kevin would probably refuse if it were anyone else, since it would be quite troublesome.

The problem is, if it's the Zoldyck Family, then we need to think about it a bit more.

As Kevin learned more about the Nen user, he gradually realized the prestige of the Zoldyck Family.

Moreover, the Zoldyck Family are truly major customers.

No, we can't use "major client" to refer to them; we should use "number one client."

Purchase volume far exceeds that of other countries.

They really have plenty of money.

Faced with a client like this, Kevin should personally visit their home.

And another very important point is that Kevin is genuinely curious about where this assassin family lives.

Curiosity is the biggest reason.

"To your home— Kukuroo Mountain?"

"Certainly."

Illumi gave him a strange look. Did they have anywhere else besides this place?

They're really sending me to their hideout? I'm actually kind of tempted.

With that thought in mind, Kevin no longer hesitated and nodded.

"It's possible, but I'll have time after I finish the two orders I have on hand. Two clients have customized requests."

Completing their customization request will conservatively take about a month, meaning your customization can only begin a month later.

Upon hearing this, Illumi nodded without much thought, as it was within his expectations.

"No problem."

After saying that, Illumi turned around without hesitation and disappeared into the bushes.

"That's really decisive and efficient?"

Melusina, who had been listening to their conversation, couldn't help but mutter a comment.

"Assassins, it's normal for them to be a little eccentric."

Upon hearing this, Melusina nodded involuntarily, seemingly thinking of some manga.

The next day.

Kido and Koto left the Manor yesterday afternoon to make the necessary preparations.

Kevin arrived at the Training Ground early in the morning.

The moment you enter, you feel a sense of warmth and familiarity.

To be honest, Kevin felt that he had ultimately brought some habits from his previous life with him.

After all, it's something I can't give up.

The habit he was referring to was "staying at home".

In the few years since he came into this world, he has almost never left the Manor unless necessary.

Most of their time was spent in the Training Ground and the Pharmaceutical Room.

And very early in the morning.

There were already quite a few people in the Training Ground.

Unlike before, the Training Ground in the Manor are now basically used only by Kevin and Kurapika.

Now, Gowen is also a regular at the Training Ground, almost every day.

Basho and the others would occasionally appear here.

This has led to the Training Ground being much more lively than before.

However, I didn't see Nion.

It seems that while I was away, Nion, having lost some of her control, started to act up.

However, Kevin was just coming here out of habit; he had no intention of exercising and simply sat in the stands watching the people below the field.

Kevin wasn't exactly a hardworking person.

When ordinary exercise is of little use to him and is just a waste of time, Kevin naturally won't make things difficult for himself.

Gowen, Pairo, Kurapika.

The three of them have improved considerably compared to a year ago, indicating that they have also been using [Digestion Potion] since I left.

Come and exercise.

Kevin beckoned to the two of them, signaling them to come over, only after Pairo and the other man had rested.

Seeing the two approaching, Kevin patted the stools on either side, gesturing for them to sit down.

After they sat down, Kevin asked the question.

Have you started collecting eyes yet?

Kevin had always known that the two of them were monitoring the auction situation of Fiery Red Eye, chasing clues, and trying to find out who had Fiery Red Eye. To this end, the two even built a simple intelligence page to track the condition of each pair of eyes in real time.

Kevin never stopped the two of them from making the necessary preparations, nor did he stop them from collecting information.

However, neither Pairo, Kurapika, nor Rosana participated in the collection of eyes.

Kurapika shook his head. "No, we've just been keeping an eye on the news."

Upon hearing this, Kevin glanced at Pairo again.

"And you?"

After all, Pairo's Nen ability and the collection of eyes are strongly correlated. Every time he collects a pair of eyes, Pairo's Nen ability will become stronger. Pairo seemed lost in thought and remained silent. He only came back to his senses after hearing Kevin's question and shook his head.

"No, I—I don't want to collect the eyes before the revenge is complete, so they won't be able to see, won't be able to see the blood of their enemies."

At this point, Pairo's emotions fluctuated slightly, and his voice sounded somewhat strained, but he managed to suppress these emotions well.

"Can't you see?" Kevin remained silent for a moment.

Pairo's Nen ability, Funeral Butterfly, will Funeral the eyes to their final resting place.

It's somewhat similar to the feeling of a soul passing away, and it can also eliminate Resentment from the eyes.

But if the enemy hasn't been eliminated, is it right to try to quell the Resentment of the clan members and force them to die?

To be honest, Pairo secretly regretted sending his father away to Funeral his eyes.

But thinking back, when my father stayed behind, he probably had already taken his revenge.

That's the only way he could think of it.

For this reason, the three of them only tracked down information about the eyes and did not collect the eyes for the Funeral.

Kevin could understand.

"In that case, I won't force you. You know what I mean."

The next time the entire Phantom Troupe can reunite will be at most one or two years later.

A gang like this is a leopard that can't change its spots; they'll definitely reunite and commit more serious crimes. As long as Hisoka doesn't leave the group during this time, everything will be fine.

The Phantom Troupe's unique member system makes it difficult for Hisoka to leave the group, unless someone kills him.

But Kevin thought it was unlikely.

Although Hisoka posed almost no threat to him, he had to admit that among Nen user, Hisoka's combat ability was among the top in his age group.

Moreover, they are purely Martial Faction.

There are already few Martial Faction users among Nen user.

"Judging by the timeline, every pair of these glasses should have already been available on the market, right?"

Kurapika nodded.

"As early as six months ago, all of the Fiery Red Eye had already been auctioned off, and we have been tracking the auctioneers' trails and paths."

Therefore, we have recorded and locked onto the eyes of all the tribespeople.

Simply put, as long as revenge is achieved.

They should be able to reclaim all their eyes within six months.

"But there's one guy who's a problem; it might take some time to get the eyes out of him."

For some reason, Pairo suddenly spoke.

"Who?"

Kevin asked curiously.

"The Fourth Prince of the Kakin Empire."

"Prince?"

Kevin's understanding of this society and its countries is limited; he has only specifically studied V5 and does not pay much attention to other countries.

However, the Fourth Prince, the Kakin Empire.

Kevin suddenly remembered something.

He remembered his first time going to Auction House.

He recalled his past tracking of Fiery Red Eye.

It's him.

Kevin remembered that the Prince was collecting Fiery Red Eye back then.

He's just Prince, not King.

And it's not V5 either.

So if you want it, it's not like you can't get it.

Kurapika seemed to notice Kevin's confusion and offered a brief explanation.

In short, it explained the strange system of the Kakin Empire, as well as its current national strength and influence in the international community.

All of these Prince have the potential to inherit the throne, and the Fourth Prince is one of the strongest contenders.

After hearing these accounts, Kevin suddenly realized...

It turns out to be a superpower that could become a V6 (or similar) level.

"It's just a bit of a hassle, after all, he has so many things to deal with, so there's no need to worry about the afternoon."

Koto arrived at the Manor first, bringing with her his needs.

Kevin immediately got to work.

The requirements for the Koto are two kinds of medicine: one is Nutrient Potion that the plant can easily absorb.

The fact that she has such a need indicates that the seeds she has are extremely demanding in terms of nutrients from the soil and the surrounding environment.

If I'm not mistaken, it's probably another thing from the Dark Continent.

This is actually not unusual in human society.

The second need is for agents that can give plants stronger resistance to external environmental factors.

It's actually not bad.

Because the data for these two plants is very clear, and Koto, as Plant Hunter, has access to a large number of materials.

Add to Kevin's current experience.

Combining these two potions wasn't difficult, Kevin quickly came up with an idea. However, turning that idea into a tangible result would require some time and tedious procedures.

Once things are on track here...

Kevin then looked at Koto and asked curiously, "You're Plant Hunter, so could you take one of my commissions?"

"Your commission?"

Koto found it a little strange, but not too strange.

After all, Kevin also needs materials, and many plants are materials themselves. It seems that Kevin wants to cultivate some himself.

So he nodded.

It's only right to reciprocate, so completing a commission during this time is a good thing.

"I have some seeds and young plants, but they may be experiencing some issues with adapting to the local environment or suffering from malnutrition."

Furthermore, I don't quite understand the environmental requirements of these plants, so I would like you to help me build a Plant Greenhouse on the Manor so that I can plant and cultivate these seeds and seedlings."

As for these seeds and young plants, they were naturally some plants from the Dark Continent, which Kevin brought back with him.

These are all carefully selected, can play a very good role, and are almost harmless. In his opinion, their requirements for environment and nutrition should not be too strict.

Simply put, he selected plants that could potentially be cultivated in the Manor, but since he wasn't a professional, having this Star Rank Plant Hunter in front of him for help was the most suitable option.

Koto nodded.

It was indeed a good match for her major, so she agreed, but she didn't think too much about it.

That is, until Kevin took out the seeds and seedlings.

Koto then realized something was wrong.

What is this thing?
