Faced with the Fourth Prince's incredulous question.

Kevin simply stood up, still holding his teacup in one hand.

She looked at him with a smile.

"Because you saw it, and what you saw is what I saw."

The Butterfly flew onto Kevin's hand again.

Butterfly is an eye.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince realized that what he had just seen was an illusion, and he returned to his room once again.

Taisa looked at herself sadly.

The other two women, whom he didn't recognize, seemed to be watching him make a fool of himself.

And that man, he was just holding his teacup, looking at me.

When I saw that Butterfly.

The Fourth Prince understood instantly.

Those eyes possessed some kind of Nen ability, allowing him to see what he saw.

I see.

In addition to his recent experience, he can also change what he sees.

My eyes have been deceived.

Is this what a battle between Nen user looks like?

"Your Nen ability was exposed from the very beginning."

Upon hearing this, Taisa immediately touched her eyes.

The Fourth Prince understood as well.

His entire practice process was observed by others.

It's unclear when, Taisa's eyes were likely invaded by someone else, which resulted in Taisa seeing only what others saw.

It was like a surveillance camera, pointing directly at the Fourth Prince, transmitting his every move and every action.

"How do you know that I would be affected by other Nen ability after I activate my power?"

This was something the Fourth Prince couldn't understand.

The other party was far too arrogant; their sense of ease and control left him feeling utterly defeated.

It was as if they knew he posed no threat.

He was completely seen through.

Even so, there should still be some information that is not visible.

"Because you were affected by that solo flute performance, right?"

As soon as he said that, I understood.

He extended an olive branch to the Melody.

At that time, he happened to be using his Nen ability.

So the other person was very likely also infected at that time, and was able to personally experience that feeling.

The other party could see through Taisa's eyes and thus knew that he had used Nen ability at that time, and that he had later extended an olive branch to Melody.

Therefore, it can be inferred that he was influenced by other Nen ability during the use of his Nen ability.

We lost.

From the very beginning.

While he was still basking in his own Nen ability, arrogant and conceited.

He felt that his enemies, who had offended him, had long wanted to kill him, relentlessly gathering intelligence on him without his knowledge.

From the very beginning, he was trapped in the enemy's snare, and no matter what choices he made, he could not escape death.

The only difference is whether one dies in ignorance or, as is the case now, in arrogance.

No, I can't end it like this. I will eventually become king.

How could the Fourth Prince give up so easily? He still wanted to escape.

Just as I was about to close my eyes, my pupils suddenly widened.

"Forehead----"

He let out a muffled groan, his face instantly turning pale, and his pupils filled with bloodshot veins.

He collapsed to the ground, his body trembling and growing colder.

If you look closely at Kevin, you'll find that the poison needle that was originally wrapped up is no longer there.

It's unclear when it got stuck in the Fourth Prince's body.

Just as he said, the toxin is ridiculously strong, and there is no possibility of treatment.

Less than two seconds.

The Fourth Prince's body remained motionless.

Taisa stood there in the doorway, staring blankly at the scene.

Without realizing it, he reached out and touched the wound on his cheek.

The wound had disappeared at some point; it was a scar left from when she deceived the Fourth Prince.

"You seem to be torn. Take the Prince you're Loyalty to and leave. At least you shouldn't leave his body here, should you?"

Biscuit appeared beside Taisa at some point and spoke up.

"Um."

Taisa simply nodded.

As for revenge, that thought never crossed his mind.

Only Nen user truly understand Kevin's power.

Kevin is best known for his medicines.

But Kevin never used it during the entire process.

Taisa walked over and looked at the Fourth Prince, who was now motionless, and at his bloodshot, wide-open eyes, which were devoid of any life.

The other person is dead.

So relaxed, so powerless, towards the object of her loyalty that instilled fear in her.

Bending down, I gently picked it up.

They left quietly.

Until the door was closed.

Biscuit and Melusina then turned to look at Kevin.

Did you just do something?

"Melusina asked."

She had just clearly sensed the Resentment emanating from the Fourth Prince.

Melusina had read the Fourth Prince's information. She knew that someone like him, who was somewhat extreme and had a terrible personality, would die after gaining Nen ability.

The probability of Resentment welling up is extremely high.

For a Prince in particular, such a death would be extremely humiliating.

But the fact is, no Resentment arose.

The other person simply turned into a corpse.

Why did you think I was being so long-winded just now?

Kevin looked at Melusina, winked, and said with a smile.

The reason he was so long-winded was to provoke the Fourth Prince.

The birth of Resentment is not inevitable.

A wide variety of situations are required.

After all, up to this point, there is only one person who truly harbors Resentment towards Kevin because of death.

And he's also the Chrollo of the Phantom Troupe.

The other person's experiences and their obsession were absolute; after all the other members had died, they were the last to close their eyes—that kind of obsession was unmatched.

So when Kevin learned that the Fourth Prince was a similar character, he wondered if he could also instill Resentment in the other's death?

"To be honest, that guy was really disgusting."

Kevin extended his palm as he spoke, and in his palm were two dark, shadowy orbs, pure constructs of Resentment.

"What's the meaning?"

Biscuit asked curiously, as she certainly didn't know as much about Resentment as the two people in front of her.

"Based on that Prince's fondness for human organs, the Resentment he harbors will ultimately attach itself to a particular organ he cares about."

After Melusina speculated.

"That's right."

Kevin gave Melusina a thumbs up.

"It's his eyes; his Resentment has just tried to attach itself to his eyes, to become a vessel for Resentment through his eyes."

"However, after I discovered this, I forcibly extracted his Resentment, and that's what I have here."

After hearing the explanation, Biscuit leaned back on the sofa and sighed silently, saying helplessly, "I'm starting to get a little confused about your Nen ability. You didn't even touch him, so how did you manage to extract his Resentment?"

Ever since Kevin used the Ant King's potion, his various techniques have become completely unpredictable using normal Nen ability.

What are the rules? What are the restrictions? What specific abilities are required?

The Boundary are becoming increasingly blurred.

"That was a game-changing drug, especially for me."

"And what about that book? Can you control it now?"

Melusina asked curiously from the side.

Kevin shook his head regretfully. He actually wanted to control it, but he didn't have the ability right now.

"Why? You can now manipulate other people's Resentment from a distance, but you can't control the Resentment that has already become a physical entity?"

Biscuit didn't understand; it didn't make sense.

After all, judging from Kevin's actions towards the Fourth Prince, he didn't even touch him, yet he forcibly extracted the Resentment that the prince had formed from a distance.

This operation seems more difficult no matter how you look at it.

Faced with their questions, Kevin thought for a moment and then organized his thoughts to explain.

"First, you should understand that Resentment is mainly a product of the combination of Nen ability and will. Nen Aura has the ability to turn the intangible into the tangible, right?"

Biscuit nodded.

This is definitely true; it has been clearly demonstrated in both the Emission Type and Materialization Type.

"Therefore, depending on the Nen ability, the manifestation of Resentment will also be different. For example, generally speaking, Resentment with karmic consequences will eventually transform into the physical form of Resentment."

"The manifestation of Nen ability is similar to that of the Materialization Type, so the Yin body of Resentment is the materialized artifact that becomes a physical entity."

"Besides the situations mentioned above, there are also instances where Resentment directly attaches itself to a corpse and acts accordingly."

Simply put, Resentment needs a vessel.

Whether it's a omens, Nen tool, or oneself, they are all the same concept.

"Regardless of the nature of the Resentment, there is a set of rules that limit it, which are generally negative and highly enforceable."

For example, [The Master of Stealth].

Its limitation is the will of the Chrollo.

The Chrollo's will is a continuation of the spider's will.

Therefore, they must be members from Meteor City, plus the Chrollo of the Phantom Troupe.

Of course, the effect is also a bit stronger than the previous Nen ability, since there are more restrictions now.

The Nen ability of the Phantom Light Brigade members are copied into the book, and both sides use them together.

"The only reason I can control Resentment is Snake Venom. Snake Venom can even turn non- Resentment into Resentment."

"But this is essentially just a transformation; the control is actually weak. The reason it's difficult to control is that the Resentment carries a strong will."

Without a strong will, Resentment cannot be formed.

"That book has become a physical manifestation of Resentment, possessing a strong will and is now fixed."

"And this one in my hand is an unexpected artifact. It's still in the midst of the Succession War. The Fourth Prince's soul was taken away, and it was taken away by that Nianye."

The Resentment in the title indicates that the Fourth Prince is indeed dead.

That omen might simply be used to take away the soul of the victor, depending on the effect of the Succession Ceremony, to become some kind of reward or sacrifice for the winner.

After listening to Kevin's story, Biscuit seemed to realize something, slapped her forehead, and suddenly sat up straight.

"Doesn't that mean this is a constructed Resentment, containing that Prince's Nen ability, but because his soul was extracted and he has no will, you can control the rules yourself?"

Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

However, the fact remains that it was just as expected, and it cannot be considered a coincidence. After all, Kevin had anticipated that the Prince would harbor Resentment, so he had been intentionally provoking him.

The change in status caused by the act of having his soul taken away was something Kevin hadn't anticipated; that was the fortunate coincidence.

"That's right, but I want to build it. I don't have much experience, so I'll have to trouble Jin. I think he'd be interested."

After all, the thing Kevin has is extremely rare and hard to come by.

The Fourth Prince died under the umbrella.

Kevin has completely lost interest in the Succession War.

Let Kurapika and Pairo do what they want.

Now, he's more interested in the Resentment in his hands.

I promptly called Jin.

Sure enough, when Kevin told the other party about the special Resentment he had, Jin immediately hung up the phone and ran over in less than half an hour.

"Where? Where is it? Show it to me!"

Jin Huo was in a great hurry and couldn't wait.

Kevin sat in the chair with his hands outstretched. Inside the hexagonal sphere, two round Resentment floated freely.

Jin immediately leaned closer, his eyes peering intently through the transparent barrier.

"This is Resentment I've never seen before. You've really hit the jackpot! Are you selling it or not?"

Jin Renbu asked.

Then he saw Kevin looking at him like he was an idiot.

"Tsk, it's so small."

If the two hadn't gone to the Dark Continent together, Jin might have actually tried to get this thing from Kevin.

But now the two are partners, and the Dark Continent is more important, so he could only shake his head regretfully.

"Oh my, this is really special. Why didn't you call me when you killed that person? It's such a shame we didn't get to see its birth."

After watching it carefully, Jin sat opposite Kevin, while Fei Cheng slapped his thigh in regret.

It's such a shame I didn't see it.

"This is a strange coincidence. I only expected there to be Resentment and lingering resentment, but I didn't expect it to be this unusual."

Kevin gave a simple explanation.

"You called me here, probably because you want to construct this Resentment, like making Nen tool."

Jin, his eyes still fixed on the two Resentment, said...

Kevin nodded.

It must be admitted that Kim, who led the team that built the entire Greed Island game, has a far greater understanding of how to create Nen tool and how to combine the Nen ability of multiple people than others.

"You've come to the right person. I'm not bragging, but there aren't many people in this world who know more than me, and those who do are all within my team."

Jin gave a thumbs-up and Fei Cheng said smugly.

"The so-called creation of Nen tool is essentially the process of forming Resentment, the Nen ability willpower, and the Yin body. The Yin body can be imbued with Nen Aura, depending mainly on compatibility and the effectiveness of the individual's Nen ability."

It sounds a bit complicated, but Kevin can understand it easily.

"First, you need to find a suitable yin body for this thing, one that is appropriate for its yin energy, based on its Nen ability. After all, it's Resentment, and the person with the Resentment in the past life has already died, so it's better to use a physical part to contain the yin energy."

As Jin spoke, he began to explain to Kevin the simple concept of how a standing Nen tool is made.

Kevin listened attentively.

Even the people nearby were listening intently; this was a dialogue between masters, containing insights and experience that were rare and precious.
