The Antiquities Exchange incident came to an end.
After completing the commission and receiving his payment, Silva returned directly to Kukuroo Mountain.
As it happened, Illumi, Killua, and the other family members were all present, so he simply informed them of two things during dinner.
One was not to provoke the Phantom Troupe, and the other was not to provoke Moyu.
As for the reasons, Silva did not explain much. He merely complained that this deal had not been worthwhile, then specifically emphasized to Illumi once more that he was not to provoke Moyu.
That was precisely why Illumi wanted to get to the bottom of it.
However, Silva forcefully dismissed Illumi's intention to press further.
That alone was enough for Illumi to understand the importance of the matter.
Illumi fell silent.
He could understand why his father complained that the deal had not been worthwhile, but he did not understand why Moyu was involved.
And his father had even specifically warned him not to cause trouble for Moyu...
Illumi was unwilling to accept it.
He had originally planned to begin laying the groundwork against Moyu after finishing Killua's training.
He had contemplated this for a very, very long time. He had even constructed in his mind the scene of killing Moyu in front of Killua.
He believed that "this scene" was the final step in turning Killua into a perfect assassin.
But his father's sudden, solemn warning had undoubtedly destroyed his plans completely.
Illumi remained silent, having lost his appetite for the moment.
Killua lowered his head and did not say a word from beginning to end, though he was filled with curiosity.
Milluki, seated beside him, likewise said nothing, but the corner of his eye kept darting toward Illumi.
