Family Group X Going Their Separate Ways
"What's the meaning?"
Kiy, showing a look of confusion.
No matter what, Killua is still just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.
Perhaps because he is a member of the Zoldyck Family, he is very precocious and has done things that have already exceeded the limits of what adults can do.
But this still cannot deny the fact that he is still a child.
Both Qi and Gon are exceptionally talented children.
Within the realm of Nen ability, strength can, to a certain extent, solve most problems.
The children's talent allowed them to easily reach the strength level of adult Nen user.
They skipped the world of children and went straight into the society of adults.
And because of their precocious nature, they were able to integrate into the group.
However, due to their immaturity and underdeveloped minds, they are prone to extremes.
Gon is like this, and so is Qi.
In Qi's view, it was simply because of his love for his younger brother, his guilt, and the entanglement of various emotions.
She wanted to rescue her younger brother.
All he could think of was negotiating with his father, or if that didn't work, forcing his way in.
So he didn't quite grasp what Kevin meant by seizing power.
Like Kevin, Melusina was quite familiar with the Zoldyck Family's internal affairs, couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Although she was also unfamiliar with these things when she was in the Village, she has come into contact with society thanks to Kevin's rescue and has learned quite a bit about these matters.
"You've been traveling for so long, have you thought about the power structure of your family?"
Kevin asked.
He and Kiy have known each other for many years.
Although he was just a precocious child, Kevin considered the other person a friend.
However, because I am indeed much older than the other person, I have a certain responsibility to guide them.
Of course, more importantly, it's because Qi is different from the rest of his family.
But he couldn't escape.
"Our family is different from normal families, isn't it?"
To Kiy, Qi Ya hadn't really thought about it much; he just wanted to escape the oppressive atmosphere of the Zoldyck Family.
How could someone who has left possibly still think about or miss that family environment?
Upon hearing this answer, Kevin simply smiled.
"You're a member of the Zoldyck Family. I don't know if it's a tradition, but out of your five siblings, you seem to be the only one with white hair, right?"
"Because of your talent, from the moment you were born, you should have been the designated future head of your family. That's how they raised you and what they expected of you."
"Although you have left the family now, in your family's eyes, this is just a trial for you. If you want to become the head of the family, you can't be bound to the family forever, simply doing the work of an assassin."
Upon hearing Kevin's words, Kiy to show an angry expression, which was uncommon for him.
He frowned and said very seriously.
"I will never go back to being an assassin."
He felt that Kevin didn't trust him.
Kevin reached out and pressed it down.
"Don't rush me, of course I believe you, but as the future head of the family, can you really break free from the Zoldyck Family?"
"Can you really get rid of the name Zoldyck Family, break free from the constraints of your bloodline, and sever the bonds of family ties?"
Kevin is also one of the few people who has spent a long time in the Zoldyck Family.
In addition, he was an important guest, so he could roam freely within the Zoldyck Family's territory, except for a few secret places he couldn't go.
Preparing the right medicine doesn't take much time.
In addition, Kevin was curious Zoldyck Family were a family of assassins.
So he observed for a long time.
I can't say I fully understand it, but I at least have a general understanding.
Although this family is twisted and cold, it is indeed bound together by blood ties and kinship.
There is indeed such a thing as "love" within this family.
Perhaps it is precisely because they are a family of assassins that they are both twisted and powerful.
Therefore, this kind of love is still very precious.
Even if it's distorted when it happens to someone.
Therefore, Qi, who grew up in this kind of environment, could not possibly bring himself to sever this bond.
If he could sever ties, he wouldn't have left the family.
It's because he can't break free that he wants to escape, that he needs to catch his breath, that he craves freedom.
Qi opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a moment.
He knows himself too well.
He couldn't fool himself, especially not at this time.
Kevin continued.
"However, it seems to me that your family doesn't follow the established rules very well; ultimately, it's strength that matters."
After all, they are a family of assassins.
"Is there?"
Qi scratched his head. Some of the rules in his family were quite strict.
"For example, your Illumi, he did many things that violated the family rules. Although your father and grandfather disapproved of his actions, they didn't stop him, did they?"
"He seems to have a lot of autonomy and shares power with your father and grandfather; he's probably one of the people in charge."
According to Kevin's observation.
Except for Illumi.
The other children both respected and feared Silva.
After hearing Kevin's words, Killua began to think about it carefully.
It seems that this is indeed the case.
Because he had always been Domination Illumi, he had never thought about whether Illumi's position was wrong.
Now that I think about it, it really is true.
"In my opinion, among you five brothers, besides Illumi, the only one who is different is Migg, who is your second brother."
"He seems to be outside the realm of power, and although he appears to obey your father and grandfather, the wording is more about deals."
Kiy couldn't help but think of his second brother.
His only brother with whom he had no emotional entanglement was, in fact, the one with whom he had the most normal interactions within the family.
"He should have distanced himself from the power struggles within your family; he seems to be just giving up."
"Then I----"
Kiy wanted to say something, but Kevin was staring at him.
After thinking about it, he didn't say it.
Kevin then conveyed his meaning.
"You're saying you can break away like that, right? But you can't. Your position within the family is clearly wrong."
"You are the future head of the family, and this is how they are raising you. And most importantly, have you thought about what you will do after you rescue your younger brother?"
This is the most serious problem.
Although Qi didn't say there was anything wrong with his brother, Kevin had already guessed it.
Although others were unaware of the details, they could discern from Kisaki's Kiy statements that it was some kind of secret of the Zoldyck Family.
Rescuing them is just the beginning.
That's the important part that needs to be addressed.
"He's important, and he's dangerous, right? So what are you going to do? Protect him every step of the way? Or lock him up again? Only the cage is bigger now."
Kevin's words made Kiy ponder.
Only now is he beginning to truly understand what he wants to do and what kind of result he wants to achieve.
No one else disturbed them.
Gon waited quietly nearby.
"I think, I think he shouldn't be like this now, imprisoned in a small room. He should at least be free and able to do what he wants."
Kevin nodded.
"Then seize power, or rather, make your voice heard within your family. Under the rules that cannot be broken, take control of yourself. The future head of the family is your greatest strength."
Without waiting for Qi's reply, he spoke directly.
"You can think about it carefully first. There's no rush. After all these years, it's not worth rushing it in a day or two. Once you've made up your mind, I'll offer you more help."
"And you need to think about this: I am ultimately an outsider, not a member of the Zoldyck Family. You'd better have a clear distinction in your mind between what are family matters and what are matters in which I can contribute."
After speaking, Kevin stood up, chatted with the others for a few words, and then left, with Melusina following behind.
The people in the Airship hall dispersed.
Only Qi and Gon remained, sitting on the sofa.
"Go do what you want to do, do what you believe is right, even if there are many obstacles, even if family ties stand in your way."
Looking at Qi, Gon suddenly clenched his fist and said as if to encourage himself.
This was his aunt's teaching, which he always remembered, so he told Qi about it.
Qi nodded heavily.
Then he began to really think about what the Zoldyck Family was really like.
Unlike before, I no longer try to avoid it.
Moreover, even without the control of the Nen needle, his hidden memories still exist, and those feelings and emotions are still his own.
Looking back now...
No, why should Illumi?
My father taught me, and my grandfather would occasionally offer his advice; these were all things that should be done.
Although he was annoyed by his mother, it was normal for her to teach him and instill various ideas and behaviors in him.
But why, Illumi?
Just because you're my brother?
Migg is still my brother, you know. See if I don't beat him up.
Thinking about it this way, with both his parents alive and two generations before him, what right did Illumi, who was of the same generation as him, have to control him?
I am the future head of the family.
You're so capable, why don't you become the future head of the family?
Analyzing this point reveals that the power structure within one's own family differs from that of other groups outside.
After analyzing it carefully in this way...
Kiy idea gradually formed in Qi Ya's mind.
The most important thing is definitely to break free from Illumi's control, to break free completely and utterly.
He's so annoying.
Moreover, Kiy can be very vengeful about the matter of the Nen needle.
The best way is to beat the other party up and completely defeat them.
Moreover, it seems that Illumi doesn't have many people in his family who speak up for him, except when it comes to his upbringing, where his mother is on his side.
As for Mom, she doesn't need to worry about it.
As long as you've agreed with your father, your mother's words have no authority.
As for Dad, to be honest, he still respects his father very much.
If you express your thoughts properly, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Grandpa usually doesn't get involved. As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, he'll generally go along with it.
Just get Dad on.
Thinking about it this way, the outline in my mind becomes clearer and clearer.
The Airship quickly landed in the nearest city for resupply, and also because Kite was about to leave.
"Morel just called. The Hunter Association should be evaluating our achievements, and this time we might all get a star up."
Kite stood in the doorway and addressed the group.
This is no small achievement; the upper echelons have already assessed the Danger Level of the crisis.
The overall risk level has reached B-Rank.
A country's total national strength is generally between B+ and A-.
This achievement is tantamount to the destruction of a nation.
For Kite, Kite could very well be promoted to three stars because of this achievement.
As one of the earliest discoverers, participants, and trackers, and an absolute participant until the very end.
His achievements are beyond question.
One of the main reasons why he would jump directly to three stars is that neither Gon nor Killua are Star Rank Hunter x Hunter.
To some extent, Kite has a responsibility to guide these two individuals.
Although Biscuit counts too.
However, when the Hunter Association assigns a two-star rating, it doesn't mean you have to have a one-star apprentice. Rather, it means that you have produced a one-star junior through your teaching and assistance.
Therefore, the possibility of jumping directly to Samsung is not low.
As for Kevin, that's a done deal.
As for the others, they will likely either be promoted or remain at one star.
A major reason is that they failed to fulfill their responsibility to teach.
However, their achievements will certainly be preserved.
"Okay, that's all for now. Goodbye."
Kite waved to everyone, especially Gon.
Where are you two?
Kevin looked at Gon and the other person.
"I plan to go straight home and talk to my father first, to sound out his opinion."
Kiy, this decision was made.
First, find out what your father thinks and what he says, and then make a specific plan.
Kevin nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, that's it."
After they finished chatting, the two ran off the Airship and went out to play.
The Airship needs to resupply here for a day before continuing its journey tomorrow.
Kevin returned to the hall.
Gowen and Kurapika were talking about something, while Men Qi and a few others were chatting nearby.
What are you talking about?
"In the Kakin Kingdom of the Kakin Kingdom, when Pairo and I were operating there before, we were received by quite a few Prince, and some of them were very open to extending olive branches."
Kurapika doesn't really want to get involved in these things, but since the company needs to develop its business in the Kakin Empire, it's impossible not to interact with these upper-class elites.
"In recent years, there have indeed been undercurrents in the Kakin Kingdom. I wonder if it's the Chairman's son who's behind it."
They now know of Beyond's existence, and they also know that Beyond is very likely one of the participants in this incident.
Furthermore, Beyond has spent a considerable amount of time in the Kakin Kingdom, this blame will inevitably fall on his head, both morally and logically.
"Don't worry too much about it. The reason we're involved with him this time is mainly because of the Chairman. It's best not to get involved in other people's father-son conflicts."
Kevin said from the side.
And that is indeed the case.
Netero himself doesn't care, so why should they worry about it?
