Seed X Sitting on a Nuclear Bomb

It will take time to purchase the materials Kevin needs.

Even the Zoldyck Family.

The housekeeper in charge of purchasing materials looked at the list in his hand, and even though he didn't say anything, he was still puzzled.

Some of these materials can be viewed from a normal perspective, while others are quite strange. It is very difficult to purchase them directly on the market; one needs to obtain them through certain channels by issuing commissions.

This invisibly lengthened the time.

The transportation of the Golden Egg obviously takes time.

This created a gap period.

Kevin claimed he wanted to check Killua's physical condition so he could make targeted adjustments.

But is an examination really necessary?

Obviously, it's unnecessary.

With just a little blood or skin, it's very easy to create a potion suitable for Killua.

Not to mention that Kevin now also possesses the technique of Double Refining.

This method is the simplest way to create custom potions, as it allows you to combine blood with suitable targeted attributes without sacrificing the potion's effectiveness.

What do you usually do at home?

Kevin followed Killua through the woods and asked.

To be honest, he was quite curious.

"Training, killing, playing."

Killua answered simply, holding a twig in his hand and tapping it among the surrounding bushes.

Behind them, Gotoh kept a roughly equal distance, following quietly.

"Do you play at home?"

"Yeah, either they run around in the woods or they play games."

When I was little, I certainly liked playing with toys, like heroes fighting monsters and the like.

As I grew older, I felt a little ashamed.

Kevin listened without offering any comment.

It seems that Killua has no friends, let alone friends his own age.

Or rather, it's extremely difficult for a child like Killua to have a friend his own age.

Even with these conditions, he would still struggle to find a suitable target.

Not to mention, the Zoldyck Family would never offer such terms.

"Did you make all those pills I took before? How could you be so mean?"

Killua, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and asked.

"I did it. What do you mean I'm so bad? I'm just a medicine maker. Whoever gives you the medicine is the bad one."

Gotoh followed behind, listening to Kevin's words in silence.

Is this considered sowing discord among family members?

He's hard to comment on.

Killua pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

But he hasn't had a good year or two, because Kevin's drugs have greatly increased his training volume, and his already limited leisure time has been further reduced.

The pressure from his elders made him feel suffocated.

"Did Dad ask you to come and make some medicine for me this time? Is it one of those medicines that requires a long training session to finish?"

This is Killua really doesn't want to see.

He had barely escaped the effects of the medication for less than a month or two.

The good days have only just begun and are about to end again.

He could hear the worry in Killua's voice.

Kevin smiled, patted his shoulder, and laughed, "Don't worry, would your brother harm you? This time, the medicine I customized for you won't require much training."

The essence of this drug is to allow potential to accumulate without causing it to explode.

Simply put, it means starting to train one's Nen ability itself.

Those who have practiced mindfulness, those with Nen ability, all know this.

The quantity of thought is a very important basic data.

Like physical fitness or stamina, it is the foundation of everything.

A person with high mental capacity is not necessarily powerful, but a powerful person will certainly not have low mental capacity.

And even the most talented person...

Even when developing such fundamental skills, it still takes time to realize their benefits.

Just like the potion Kevin provided before, which rapidly improved Killua's physique.

This is a true ability to shorten growth time and extend peak period.

That's why Silva values it so much.

The faster one grows, the longer their peak period lasts.

An increase and a decrease result in a win-win situation, meaning winning twice.

"Really? I don't believe it?"

Killua shook his head, indicating his distrust.

He may be a child, but he's not stupid.

There is no such thing as gaining growth without effort.

"Don't believe me if you don't want to. Just wait until I make the medicine and you experience it for yourself, then you'll know how good I am."

Kevin chuckled, offering no explanation, and glanced sideways at Killua, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Gotoh followed behind.

He was the only family member who accompanied Killua and Kevin during these past few days.

One thing he had to admit was...

Killua's relationship with this Mr. Kevin is better than that with most other members of the family.

The root cause is...

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say it.

That is, Mr. Kevin is a normal person, and among normal people, he is someone who doesn't treat Killua like a child.

This is fatal for a precocious child like Killua.

And he can say with absolute certainty that Kevin did it on purpose.

While he was thinking.

Killua and Kevin had already moved on to other topics.

"What do you do outside? Do you also keep making potions for different people like this?"

Although Killua is friends with Kevin, he doesn't really know much about Kevin.

"That's just a side job. My main job is being Hunter x Hunter. I'm a one-star Professional Hunter, kid."

Kevin is not a vain person, but he is a normal person.

He also values the prestige of being Star Rank.

Of course, he wouldn't do anything intentionally to increase his Star Rank.

But if you have something to brag about, why not do it?

What is that?

Kevin was stunned.

He looked at Killua with the kind of look one would give a country bumpkin.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? Doesn't he know this?"

"Ha?!"

Killua is angry.

Kevin pressed his advantage. "Aren't you an assassin? How come you don't even know this kind of information? Are you still too young?"

Killua angrily kicked out.

Kevin easily dodged it, and then grabbed her by the Kevin and lifted her into the air, leaving her helplessly flailing her arms.

How did you become so amazing?

Killua was genuinely surprised this time.

His impression of Kevin was still from the time in Sky Arena. Although Kevin seemed to be stronger than him back then, he wasn't without a chance to fight back.

In some ways, Kevin was also secretly learning his abilities.

But now he was completely powerless to fight back.

The technique used to dodge and lift him into the air left him with absolutely no chance of dodging.

As he spoke, somewhat unwilling to admit defeat, he began to attack more seriously.

Kevin stood still and swayed easily from side to side.

Killua dodged left and right, but it was completely useless.

Seeing Killua becoming more and more serious, and even his emotions changing.

Kevin narrowed his eyes, then suddenly reached out and struck Killua on the neck.

Gotoh followed behind, suppressing her urge to act.

Killua was instantly powerless and about to fall to the ground when Kevin lifted him up into the air.

"We're friends, you can't have bad thoughts about your friends."

Kevin gave him a serious lecture.

"Snort!"

Killua seemed to realize his mistake, but he was too embarrassed to apologize, so he forcibly turned his head away and snorted.

Seeing this, Kevin actually smiled.

Really.

Perhaps due to his age, Killua is noticeably different from the other members of this family.

It clearly leans more towards a normal child.

However, the emotional fluctuations have already begun to turn in a negative direction.

Kevin couldn't help but sigh.

This is, after all, someone else's family matter.

After thinking for a moment, he placed Killua back on the ground.

Don't you know what Hunter x Hunter is?

He steered the conversation back to what had happened before.

Seeing that Kevin had given him an out, Killua chimed in.

"The kind of Hunter x Hunter who hunts?"

Kevin shook his head.

"No, they are Hunter x Hunter from the Hunter Association. Hunter x Hunter is—"

Kevin gave a brief introduction to the Hunter Association.

Listen to his brief introduction.

Killua seemed to have taken a liking to it, and unusually, he didn't interrupt, but instead stood beside Kevin, listening attentively to what he was saying.

After he finished speaking, Kevin realized this and rubbed his chin slightly.

I had an idea in mind.

"You wanted to know exactly what I do? Well, I'll tell you what I've been doing since I became Hunter x Hunter."

They started chatting casually.

Killua's eyes grew brighter the more he listened.

Ngg8

The Zoldyck Family's residence on the Volcano.

A hidden room.

This is a room filled with girlish whimsy.

A child, who looked like a little girl, was sitting in the middle of the room, playing casually.

Suddenly.

The girl seemed to sense something and raised her head, her features undergoing a profound change.

His eyes became lifeless, like pitch-black Black Hole.

Its mouth was also slightly open, so the inside of its mouth could not be seen.

His whole body turned gray and lifeless, as if he had completely transformed into another kind of creature, no longer resembling a human.

"E-"

A while later...

The inhuman face faded, and then it switched back to the innocent and naive face of the girl.

"Nanika - do you feel anything?"

She muttered to herself, clearly puzzled.

And the direction that inhuman face was looking.

Piercing through layers upon layers of mountain rocks and boulders.

At the Volcano's summit.

Melusina and Pairo are entering the Zoldyck Family's territory.

They went there for some business collaborations.

The main purpose was to invite Pairo.

Melusina followed along purely out of curiosity about the inner workings of the assassin family.

Two butlers were leading the way.

As they walked uphill, Melusina suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction on the mountain.

A dark, Resentment aura emanated from her body, but she quickly withdrew it.

Her sudden stop made Pairo frown, glance around warily, and then ask.

"Sister Melusina? What's wrong?"

Coming to her senses Melusina smiled and shook her head to indicate that she was alright.

Pairo understood and nodded.

Dusk.

Kevin returned to the villa where he was resting.

Melusina and Pairo have been back for some time now.

"Did you meet any other members of the Zoldyck Family today?"

Pairo nodded.

"I've seen everyone except the oldest."

Then he added, "Just like you said before, Uncle, they are indeed like a whole and also like individuals."

Among the Zoldyck Family, three members have Member Card.

Illumi, Silva, Killua.

Only the first two people will make the purchase, and both of them are Gold Card.

But today.

Pairo distributed Member Card to every family member.

Apart from Zeno, the others are all Silver Card.

Interestingly, Pairo also exchanged work contact information with different members of his family.

Pairo's business acumen is quite impressive.

During Kevin's absence, Pairo was in charge of the external Pharmacy business, including identifying members.

Before Kevin disappeared, Pairo had already begun to take charge of this matter.

Kevin delegated the authority to Pairo to determine who should receive which type of Member Card.

Therefore, Pairo saw it very clearly.

The Zoldyck Family is a group made up of individual members.

Perhaps some future business assignments can be delegated to different members of the Zoldyck Family, based on what we know today.

After understanding the situation, Kevin nodded.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to leave soon. Most of the materials arrived today."

A small number of them will arrive in the next day or two, and I will officially start working tomorrow.

Based on my expectations, it shouldn't take too long.

Customizing a potion for Killua is not difficult.

Kevin has accumulated a vast amount of knowledge about these medications.

To be honest.

Although it may seem more difficult than the custom-made potions needed by Koto and Qiduo, it is actually easier for Kevin.

He has extensive experience in this area.

We've finished discussing the important matters.

Melusina suddenly waved her hand, and Four Maids appeared and then dispersed around the villa to make sure no one else was there.

Little Wang, who hadn't come out for a long time, also emerged from Xiao Hong's body, maintaining the body shape of a normal snake, and coiled around Melusina's body.

Kevin's expression turned serious as he waited for Melusina to speak.

"When we were climbing that mountain today, Little Wang told me there was a bad guy hiding inside."

The seriousness of this matter has suddenly increased.

Kevin's brows furrowed.

It made Little Wang sense it, give a warning, and then call him a bad guy.

They are creatures from the Dark Continent without a doubt.

Moreover, it is very likely something of the same or even higher level as the Resentful Snake.

This thing is hidden inside the Zoldyck Family?

Good heavens!

Is this the world's number one assassin family?

He hid a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment under his butt.

Did Little Wang say what it was?

Melusina shook her head regretfully.

It was precisely because Little Wang couldn't describe what it was that they were worried.

"However, she said it didn't feel like a natural enemy, but more like a competitor."

As he had more contact with the two, Little Wang, who already possessed advanced intelligence, began to learn human ways of communication.

Simply put, she became more humane because of the influence of her surroundings.

"Is it similar to biometrics etched into genes?"

Kevin muttered to himself.

They are competitors, not natural enemies.

Are they Nen Aura beings?

Moreover, the guaranteed minimum level is the same as that of the Resentful Eater Snake, and there's a good chance it's even higher.

At this moment, Pairo suddenly spoke.

"Today I saw one family member, to be precise. Of the five children, I didn't see the fourth, but we saw the fifth when we arrived."

This is perfectly normal; what if someone simply isn't interested in the potion?

After all, they are such a strange family of assassins.

However, because of this current situation, this point of doubt must also be raised.

Kevin was deep in thought.

He was debating whether or not to pay attention.

Because in essence, this seems to be just about satisfying curiosity, and the process might touch on the Zoldyck Family's privacy, potentially leading to serious conflict with the Zoldyck Family.

Killua's words.

Hmm, no rush.

"Give up, ignore it for now, we'll talk about it later."

Kevin decides to plant a seed in Killua that yearns for freedom.
