Plans X Moving Forward

The Nosra Family Manor is vast in scale.

As the controller of the city's underground gangs, Light, the head of the Nosra Family, is, in a sense, like a local tyrant in the city's dark sphere of influence.

This sprawling Manor, situated on the edge of the city in a picturesque setting, is powerful evidence of his power.

The surroundings were quiet, with black cars coming and going, and men in suits and sunglasses in the background.

In the corridor behind the hall, Kevin stood by the window, gazing at the garden within the Manor.

In the garden, Light was leisurely sipping tea, flipping through some reports.

After all, it was the city's underground industry, and Light spent most of his time dealing with all sorts of things.

He's more like a board member than a gang leader, only his methods are more violent.

Beside him, Nion, surrounded by a group of maids, ran happily around in the garden, her clear laughter ringing out from time to time.

Kevin appeared to be looking out the window at the scenery, but his mind was elsewhere; he was deep in thought, planning the many things to come.

First, the three members of the Kurta Clan must be properly resettled, and this must not be done arbitrarily.

After all, no one knew what the Phantom Troupe would do next, or whether they had given up the investigation.

What stage has the investigation reached now?

Have they given up or not?

Kevin understands about post-mortem Nen, but not deeply.

It's unclear what specific harm the Mito caused to those people at the time.

His eyes, still fixed on the present, remain etched with Resentment, showing no sign of dissipation.

Under these circumstances, he dared not touch it at all, and he even forbade the three members of the Kurta Clan to touch it.

Resentment is such a personal thing; it's illogical and harmful.

Only after figuring out the exact condition of those eyes would he dare to return them to Pairo.

Otherwise, you'll only harm the other party.

The thought that a father's eyes killed his son is unbearable; it's utterly hellish.

Furthermore, as he had promised before, these three would surely be eager for revenge, and taking revenge on a group of Nen user is no small matter.

Therefore, they need to learn the Nen ability.

As for talent, to be honest, Kevin isn't particularly worried.

He discovered during the previous horrific massacre that the Kurta Clan seemed to generally possess a talent for Nen ability.

That [Scarlet Eye State] has an extremely significant amplification effect on Nen Aura, which can be clearly perceived using [Concentration].

This characteristic can almost be called a [Racial Trait].

In other words, even if these three are not outstanding in terms of Nen ability among their own kind, they must still be much stronger than ordinary people.

Moreover, after spending these few days together, Kevin discovered that both Pairo and Rosana had outstanding learning abilities.

Many times, Kevin had to admit that people with strong learning abilities are often not too bad at developing their Nen ability.

For example, one's original self, and the Specialization Type abilities that awaken autonomously.

And Kurapika, Kevin is sure he's also an extremely talented type.

Although Kevin only officially met him today, he had heard a lot about Kurapika's deeds from Pairo and Rosana before.

For example, at a young age, he was able to learn languages and writing systems and various kinds of information from other places in a short period of time, and he passed the test smoothly before embarking on a journey to travel.

It's important to understand that, normally, only adults are qualified to participate in these kinds of tests and trials, and not everyone possesses such abilities.

Judging from all indications, these three are quite talented in Nen ability.

"Hiss—is this a coincidence? Or was it true that everyone in the Kurta Clan was born with talent?"

Kevin pondered to himself.

After all, the Mito he knew was also talented.

Alas, this race was wiped out just like that.

Kevin is now facing a pressing issue of time.

He needs to start preparing for the Hunter Exam. Today is December 10th, Nen ability exam is scheduled for early January. All told, he only has less than a month left.

Moreover, he was unsure how long the exam would last. According to Yungu and Men Qi and Xiahara, who had taken the previous two exams, the exam might take about a week.

Based on this calculation, it will probably be late January by the time he finishes his exams and returns.

Before that, he had to get everything in order.

Just in case, he also needed to find someone to provide security for the three Kurta Clan.

"Hmm--." Kevin frowned. He knew very few Nen user, and even fewer he could trust.

Biscuit, King, Beget, Yungu, Men Qi, and Xiahara —these names flashed through his mind one by one.

Kim is definitely out of the question, and Beget is currently busy with other matters.

To be honest, in Kevin's eyes, Men Qi and Xiahara were somewhat weak.

They still need to exercise.

After much thought, Biscuit and Yungu remained.

But Kevin really didn't want to bother Biscuit any further.

Although Biscuit would likely come to his aid if he asked, he felt he owed Biscuit far too much of a favor.

Yungu Kevin Yungu seemed like a good choice.

After all, Yungu has always considered himself a martial artist, and he must have continued to train after graduation. Even if he is slightly weaker than me, the gap shouldn't be too big.

Furthermore, Yungu once stated that he would like to try what it's like to train and teach others.

He wanted to become a teacher, to teach more people, and to teach those gifted children.

Joining [Shingen-ryu] is about sharing their training techniques with more people.

However, since it involves hiring Nen user, payment must be made.

Kevin realized with dismay that he didn't have much money left, less than 200 million.

"Ugh, this is so annoying." Kevin couldn't help but scratch his head.

There are just too many things to deal with.

He still needs to find a way to make money. Now that he has been able to remove the negative effects of the potion, his Nen ability [Special Effect Potion] can be put on the market and sold.

"Wait a minute—why should I limit myself to making high-level potions?"

Why do I have to handle everything myself?

Kevin gazed at Light in the garden below, and some ideas gradually formed in his mind.

A rough outline of a plan, like a program, gradually took shape in his mind.

He needed to get Light to be honest, to figure out the reasons behind Wright's series of actions, and to confirm whether he really had some kind of connection with the Kurta Clan.

At the same time, the talents of the three Kurta Clan need to be examined and verified.

Finally, based on the results of these two aspects, a final decision will be made.

Having been in this world for almost a year, Kevin has come to realize that this world is truly terrible.

There are quite a few Nen user, and many of them are even somewhat extreme.

He had to admit that Nen ability is related to emotions and will; the more extreme a person is, the stronger their Nen ability and talent.

He knew that to establish himself in this world, he needed connections, a team, and intelligence.

He couldn't possibly succeed by going it alone, not to mention he also needed a stable environment and place to live.

We can't keep carrying materials around like before; a single mishap could destroy all the materials.

Like this time, if he hadn't entrusted [Thousand Ears Society] to bring back the suitcase from the hotel after he left, I don't know how much loss he would have suffered.

As far as he knew, Kim possessed a vast network of connections and a diverse range of professional teams.

Biscuit has the backing of the Shingen-ryu School and the Hunter Association, giving her an extremely extensive network of connections.

He was extremely popular within the Association, and he had even heard Yungu say that the current Association Chairman was Biscuit's teacher.

So, does that mean I could be considered the Chairman's grand-disciple?

My mind wandered again; I need to bring my attention back.

Kevin continued to think.

Beget also has his own team, which, at least in Kevin's opinion, is highly professional.

Kevin already had a vague idea of what his goal was.

If he wants to continue to improve his strength, he must rely on his own Nen ability and the cooperation of various factors. Among them, there is one key element that cannot be ignored: [materials], powerful materials.

However, the materials in the human world, in terms of both strength and quantity, have certain limitations.

Especially B-Rank, there is only one, and it is the very top grade.

The [Dark Continent] mentioned by Jin seems to be the only way to break through.

But if you really want to go there, the preliminary preparations, the improvement of your own skills, and the professional team's logistical support are all headaches to think about.

Therefore, we must start thinking about it and making preparations now.

Thinking of this, Kevin shook his head, trying to shake these increasingly distant and complicated thoughts out of his mind.

Let's focus our energy on the things at hand for now.

Kevin glanced at Light in the garden below, then walked straight towards the garden.

At that moment, Light, who was in the garden pavilion, saw Kevin walking towards him and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Then, as if he had realized something, he took a deep breath and waved to the servants beside him.

The servants understood immediately, nodded, and respectfully withdrew, leaving only Light and his daughter Nion in the pavilion.

Kevin noticed Light's actions and thought to himself: It seems Light understands why I came to see him.

Kevin went into the pavilion and sat down opposite Light.

Light personally poured Kevin a cup of tea.

Kevin took a small sip and looked directly at Light.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the pavilion became quiet, and even the lively Nion inexplicably sat up straight.

Although she was always spoiled by her father, she was quite good at reading people's expressions and moods.

She's from a wealthy family and has good manners; she knows how to behave properly in formal situations.

I am very grateful for your help during this time, and I owe you a favor.

However, I have some questions that I hope to have answered.
