Silva X Clarity

Kevin is undoubtedly a normal person.

He hated pointless armed conflict, but after all, this was a violent world with extraordinary power.

Although there are normal social rules for humans.

But disliking pointless armed conflict and the absence of armed conflict are two different concepts.

He is a normal person.

I'm also interested in some tidbits of gossip and interesting little secrets.

Especially when these little tidbits have nothing to do with him.

Is he related to the Zoldyck Family's interesting structure?

To be honest, it doesn't really exist.

However, if you understand this, your future cooperation with the Zoldyck Family will be clearer and easier.

That's when digging into these little secrets and gossips becomes interesting.

Kevin certainly wouldn't intentionally spend too much time and energy doing anything.

But if you just spend a little effort observing carefully...

He would be very interested.

This might also be a form of training for Pairo.

After all, he was considered Pairo's godfather.

I rested for a night.

The next day.

They then learned that Silva had returned.

A butler they had never seen before found them.

"I am Amayne, one of the Zoldyck Family's butlers. I will lead you to the head of the family."

A tall, thin housekeeper with a somewhat aloof expression stood before them and spoke.

Kevin glanced at it.

Their capabilities are decent; they're probably not weak in the butler industry.

Although Kevin and his group only arrived yesterday, the butlers they encountered along the way varied in strength.

Based on what I saw yesterday, Gotoh is one of the more obviously stronger ones, especially compared to other butlers.

The girl in front of me, named Amayne, is about the same strength.

Kevin certainly wouldn't compare himself to his own standards.

Compared to all the Nen user he knows, these two are already considered to be among the strongest.

"Lead the way."

Kevin nodded and said.

The three followed behind him.

Pairo, meanwhile, was deep in thought.

He couldn't determine the exact level of the female housekeeper's abilities.

But what puzzled him was why it wasn't Gotoh.

We walked along a path through the woods.

It must be said that the Zoldyck Family's territory is indeed very large.

Besides the extinct Volcano in the center of the forest, the surrounding dense Sea of Trees is also part of its territory.

Moreover, it is located in the mountains, and there is only one mountain path that peas can reach.

Are there that many surveillance devices inside?

Kevin followed suit, pondering the matter in his mind.

He felt constantly being watched throughout his journey.

It wasn't the kind of direct gaze.

It's more like watching surveillance footage.

Soon they arrived at a wide, flat area in the middle of a forest.

A burly, upright, white-haired man with a cold expression stood there, wearing a loose martial arts uniform.

This was Kevin's first meeting with Silva of the Zoldyck Family.

Silva seemed to notice Kevin's gaze and turned to meet his eyes.

Very strong.

These were their initial assessments of each other.

Judging from what he could see on the surface, Kevin felt that the man in front of him was definitely one of the top Nen user in the world.

What truly alarmed Kevin was...

It was this man's constant calmness, even bordering on indifference, that gave him that aura.

This aura made him very discreet, perhaps due to his profession as an assassin.

Even though this man is so striking in appearance, his long-standing demeanor and hidden relationships make him easily overlooked when he stands there.

Like a sculpture standing on the street, it seems to have stood there for a hundred years, and passersby have long been used to it.

Kevin, of course, was not fooled.

When you see through this natural concealment and face this man directly.

Kevin could sense the threat emanating from the other person.

His strength definitely surpasses Biscuit's, but it certainly doesn't reach the level of the strongest person he has ever seen, namely the Chairman.

As for comparing him to Kim, to be honest, it's impossible to make a judgment.

Because of Kim's personality and temperament, people who see him for the first time will not feel that he is threatening.

And the assassin in front of me.

His threat was so obvious in the face of the strong.

Silva was also looking at Kevin.

This can be considered his first face-to-face meeting with Kevin. Before this Kevin other people's words and through information and intelligence.

Without a doubt, Kevin is not a killer.

Furthermore, his experiences in the Dark Continent over the past year have made him no longer able to conceal the power he wields.

Although things have changed somewhat over time.

But for someone like Silva, it was far too obvious.

A monster that seemed to be wandering in the wild.

The subtle aura emanating from him seemed to be telling those unfriendly predators not to disturb him.

Therefore, Silva instantly placed Kevin in a certain position in his mind.

Any related commissions should be refused, because the commission fee offered is completely insufficient to cover the costs he would have to pay.

Simply put

Regardless of the type of commission, if it relates to the other party, it will be a losing proposition.

To avoid trouble and being implicated.

This admonition should also be shared with other members of the family.

Not to mention that the other party was the source of the drug.

In that brief exchange of glances, the two seemed to have already gained a certain understanding of each other.

"Mr. Silva, I've long admired your name."

Kevin nodded and greeted him.

Silva maintained his expressionless demeanor, but he nodded as well.

Thank you for your help.

Kevin smiled and shook his head.

Just then, a noise came from another path.

The group turned to look.

Gotoh, whom I met yesterday, is leading Qi Zheng this way.

Apart from these two, no one else followed.

Gotoh first bowed respectfully to Silva, and then stood behind Qi.

Why wasn't he standing behind the head of the family, but behind Qi?

Parrow watched this scene quietly.

"Kevin!"

Qi first greeted Kevin, then looked at Silva and called him "Dad."

This time, the attitude is completely different from yesterday's.

Not to mention Kevin, even Melusina noticed it.

Qi showed obvious closeness and respect for his father.

Yesterday, however, he was indifferent to his mother, even showing dislike; there was absolutely no affection whatsoever.

There was even a slight fear of Illumi.

Kevin then felt even more gazes upon him.

He glanced at the Gotoh, focusing mainly on Gotoh eyes.

A camera?

The feeling of being observed used to be only from one person, but now there are several.

Someone is watching the situation here remotely via surveillance.

It's obvious without even thinking that he's a member of Qi's family.

Were they not present in person, but watching remotely?

Although Kevin had anticipated the complexity of the situation in the Qi family, it turned out to be even more complicated than he had imagined.

Is this the family background of the world's number one assassin family?

"Then, Mr. Silva, tell me your request."

Silva nodded and spoke calmly.

The demands were no different from those I had heard from Qi's mother yesterday.

However, the tone was calmer, with almost no fluctuation, and the meaning was clearer.

Kevin stated his judgment once again.

Unlike his mother, Silva clearly didn't misinterpret Kevin's meaning; instead, he pondered for a moment.

"So, what's your opinion?"

Silva chose to consult a professional.

This was, after all, the other party's Nen ability, and their experience in this area was clearly greater than his.

Knowing the target yesterday, the fact that they didn't leave but waited, and even now show a calm attitude, indicates that they have their own ideas and are not as lacking in potential for further improvement as they claim.

Pairo observed quietly from behind.

To be honest, he's been acting strangely since yesterday.

If he wasn't mistaken, Qi shouldn't have mastered Nen ability yet.

To be honest.

This is very strange.

Because he met Killua's younger brother yesterday, the one dressed as a woman named Kalluto, who clearly possessed Nen ability.

So here's the question.

Why has the younger brother already learned Nen ability, but the older brother hasn't? And judging from the family's opinions, Qi's talent is definitely the strongest among them.

Is it because of the company's peculiar internal educational policies?

At this point, Kevin spoke up.

"First of all, it must be stated that Qi has reached the physical limits of his current age."

The only reason your so-called training for him is still improving is because he is still growing, and it has little to do with the training you are providing.

Simply put, his fundamental qualities have already been built to a perfect level; all that's needed is to add the finishing touches, and the solid foundation will make everything stable.

Having briefly explained the current strange situation...

Kevin looked at Silva.

"Your goal is for Qi to quickly realize his talent as he grows up, because only a living genius is a genius, right?"

Since you've accepted someone's commission, you naturally need to complete it.

So what is the client's most desired goal? That's something we need to figure out.

Silva nodded calmly.

Ki is undoubtedly the most talented child in the Zoldyck Family's history.

Without a doubt, he will be the next head of the family.

But they come from a family of assassins.

If Qi is to realize his talent and become a powerful Nen user, facing danger is essential.

Geniuses are those who are alive.

Although Silva never felt the need to be in a safe environment, why not increase the survival rate if it could?

Not to mention the ability to quickly realize one's talents and improve one's strength.

"Therefore, a definite goal does not necessarily have to start from the aspect of physical fitness."

I can create a custom potion for Qi, the effect of which is equivalent to piling more building materials on Qi's foundation, making his construction faster and more solid as he begins to build upon the existing foundation.

That is, what you need is to more quickly turn your talent into strength.

It's a very strange metaphor, especially at a time like this.

But Silva nodded.

To Kiju, who doesn't understand Nen ability, what the two said was just a metaphor.

For the two Nen user.

Kevin's words were quite clear.

He was able to allow Killer to unleash his accumulated potential at the moment he first began to explore Nen ability, making Killer's improvement as Nen user much faster than normal until the accumulated potential was exhausted.

This is also a rapid realization of talent. Compared to Pairo, he clearly knows why Silva, or rather the Zoldyck Family, wouldn't let Killer learn Nen ability. It seems they were even deliberately hiding it from Killer.

It's easy to understand once you know the structure of Nen ability.

Qi is too small.

Even with great talent, if Nen ability is poorly constructed, it can severely damage that talent.

So they let it go.

Although Kevin has never met all the members of the Zoldyck Family, he has only seen the three offspring who have already appeared.

One thing he had to admit was...

Qi was arguably the most normal child among them.

They yearn for friendship and freedom.

I understood what Kevin meant.

Silva fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, he finally nodded.

"Then I'll trouble you. Just tell the housekeeper what materials or assistance you need, and they will provide them."

Kevin nodded.

He never expected the other party to refuse.

Because this is already the best possible outcome.

"In that case, shall I start working now?"

Silva nodded.

The commission has now officially begun.

"Then, for the time being, Qi will be in my care. I need to fully understand his condition in order to customize the most suitable medicine for him."

Silva simply nodded, said "okay," and left.

Amayne followed them away, leaving only Gotoh beside them.

"Aww!"

After Silva left, and Qi was sure that the other person was no longer around, he jumped up, clenched his fist, and cheered.

Looking at the other person, they seemed quite free.

"What are you so happy about?" Kevin asked, amused.

"I'm free now. You're not going to make me train every day during this time, are you?"

Qi said happily.

After all, Kevin is his friend, and a friend shouldn't harm him.

Kevin smiled and shook his head.

"Don't worry, my checkup is very simple, and the intensity should be much lower than your usual training."

"Yay!"

Qi began to cheer; now, he was finally acting like a little kid.

He then ran over to Pairo, as if asking him something.

Pairo looked somewhat embarrassed.

Kevin stopped paying attention and instead looked at the Gotoh that was staring intently at Qi.

Noticing Kevin looking at her, Gotoh looked at him with a questioning look in her eyes.

"I need to tell you about some materials; could you help me prepare them?"

Gotoh walked over and nodded.

"Yes."

Kevin began writing down some materials that he thought might be useful, and then spoke to Pairo in the distance.

"Have Locke send over a few Golden Egg; they should come in handy."

To avoid any misunderstanding, he looked at Gotoh and explained briefly.

"Golden Egg are a unique material of mine, which cannot be obtained from outside."

A room inside Volcano.

The group of people looked away and stopped focusing their attention on the surveillance cameras.

"So we're just handing over this opportunity to an outsider?"

Kikyo asked, dissatisfied.

"It's only been a few days."

With that, Zeno left the room with his hands behind his back.

Kikyo bit his lip, looking very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

"You two, keep an eye on him, don't let him corrupt Qi."

She spoke to her two sons and stormed off.

"Ugh, this is so troublesome. Qi isn't a child anymore, really."

Milluki, the second son of the Zoldyck Family, who looks like a fat otaku eating potato Migg, said irritably, but obviously he did not refuse.

Illumi watched the footage on the monitor, his expression remaining unchanged, like that of a fake human.
