Razor's Doubts X Gotoh's Resolve

Not surprising at all.

A demon who has lost his mind is ultimately just a monster. Yinda is now able to regain his "self" and sanity entirely thanks to Roy's help in exorcising his mind.

It's no exaggeration to say that he saved Yinda.

Even... if Jin, Razor, and others, including Yinda's close friend Zari, put themselves in Yinda's shoes, they would have done even worse than the naive Yinda.

Etan accepted Yinda's bow without hesitation, as if in a dream, and helped him up, saying, "Tell your companions to put away their Nen Ability."

Yinda straightened his back, his gaze passing over Roy, looking at Jin, then at Razor, and finally choosing to trust Roy's judgment, he said in a deep voice, "Zari!"

[The Black Curtain] trembled, and a dark shadow could be vaguely seen, pursued relentlessly by a relentlessly attacking Nen Thread... Zari, panting heavily through his long nose, his tongue lolling out like a dead dog, was exhausted and on the verge of collapse when he heard this, as if hearing celestial music, and roared, "Stop chasing me! I surrender!"

The person then fell out of the black curtain, rolled on the ground, and collapsed. "Whoosh~" The last Nen Bullet left a crater less than a meter in front of his feet.

Gotoh spun the pistol, released the trigger, and as the [Black Curtain] slowly faded and disappeared, it connected to the outside world.

The young butler simply let out a soft breath, said nothing, and stood behind Roy.

After continuously channeling his "Nen" for nearly five minutes, Gotoh remained unfazed, showing no signs of Nen Qi depletion... Just as he arrived behind Roy, Razor at him sideways and squinted at him.

"Good sustained output capability,"

"Do you not consider the consumption of Nen Qi a big deal at all? Do you have some other means of replenishing it?"

The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details. Having focused on Roy for so long, with most of his attention on the Sun-Earring Boy, he hadn't noticed the Sun-Earring Boy beside him. Now, however, Razor gradually realized the difference between Gotoh and other "Emission" Nen user—

He didn't seem to care much about "maintaining magnanimity," nor did he specifically "calculate" his magnanimity, as if once it was "used," it was gone.

"It's been used," they said, knowing they'd get replenished soon enough, so they felt reassured.

Razor narrowed his eyes and walked over.

They walked slowly through Prison Guard Squad who were lying dead, fast asleep...

Just then, Gotoh cast a sharp glance at him, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and whispered in his ear, "Young Master."

Roy turned around, and a large hand reached out in front of him. Monroe stepped forward, grasped Monroe's right hand, and shook it tightly, saying, "Razor."

Roy,

"Zoldyck."

The Sun-Earring Boy was a head shorter than Razor, but his calm and composed demeanor was in no way inferior to that of the top "Emission" expert who could maintain the supply of "Nen Qi" for the entire Greed Island single-handedly... When Gotoh behind him was in a daze, he vaguely saw Silva... The master had the same demeanor back then. Without saying a word, just standing there, no one, whether employer or victim, would dare to ignore him.

Zoldyck? Razor his head and glared at Jin again; it was information he didn't know.

gold. "

He scratched his head, realizing he'd almost forgotten to mention it.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain something, Razor turned his head away, showing the other person the back of his head, and instead smiled softly, holding Roy's hand tightly, saying, "The world's number one assassin family lives up to its name. Thank you for your rescue, Roy Zoldyck..."

"It's just a matter of getting paid to do a job," Roy said.

Razor: "I don't care about any of that."

The man looked intently at the Sun-Earring Boy, even seeing his own reflection in the Sun-Earring Boy's dark pupils, and said solemnly, "From today onwards, you are the friend I, Razor, have chosen."

[Hint... Detecting one "Potential Believer"...]

[Potential Believer Razor thanks you for your rescue and sees your potential...]

Loyalty: Closest friend, not quite absolutely loyal, but trustworthy...

[Urgently needs development...]

The panel notification sound echoed...

Roy looked directly into Razor's eyes, nodded slightly, and then, sensing a puzzled look coming from behind him...

Disappointment and a hint of sadness crossed the Sun-Earring Boy's eyes. He turned to see Yinda helping Zari to his feet, separated from him by Gotoh. A rare complexion appeared in Yinda's innocent eyes. His thick lips moved for a long time before he finally said, "He's a criminal, a bad person."

Everything was a reminder for Roy to distance Razor... Perhaps the pure distinction between "good" and "bad" is what has enabled Yinda to grow to where he is today, and it is also the reason why he can be easily controlled by his own Nen Ability and become a vessel for demons.

The adult world is too complicated, but he... will always be that big kid who never grows up.

Razor felt his hand go empty, and when he looked at the Sun-Earring Boy again... Roy sighed softly, stood on tiptoe, gently stroked Yinda's forehead, and said gently, "If I told you he wasn't a criminal, would you... believe me?"

Yinda nodded vigorously. "I believe you."

"Alright." Roy smiled, then glanced at Kim. "Take it out. I don't believe you weren't prepared."

The Hunter Association is responsible for contracting tasks and missions from governments or corporations. It is essentially a front for V5 and several other major world powers to control Nen user.

As a professional Hunter, although Ging hasn't achieved the two- Hunter level yet, he still can't escape the constraints of the "Hunter Ten Commandments"... Unless he wants to be an enemy of the entire Hunter community, he won't do something like a prison break, openly going against the Hunter Association and slapping the V5 or the World Government in the face.

Therefore, when Roy received Elena's message about the prison break, he was certain that... King must have made thorough preparations beforehand.

Sure enough... suddenly called out by Roy, Jin reached into his pocket, pulled out a crumpled piece of paper, unfolded it, and tossed it to Yinda, saying, "This is a ' Release Order ' issued by the government. Take a look."

"Zari." Yinda took the document and handed it to Zari. Compared to Yinda, Zari was much smaller, looking like a skinny monkey. Upon opening it, he saw... it really was Release Order announcing Razor's "innocent release." He nodded.

Yinda scratched his head, visibly relieved, and said bluntly, "He's not a criminal, so why are we protecting him?"

Zari was speechless, even more so than Yinda. He had been maintaining the "Black Curtain" while being relentlessly pursued by Gotoh!

[Hint... Potential Believer Yinda, loyalty +10...]

"Because people... all like to act like idiots." Roy received the notification on the panel, but didn't look at Jin or Razor. He just smiled and ruffled Yinda's frizzy hair.

Jin and Razor's lips twitched simultaneously. They wanted to refute, but for a moment, they couldn't find any reason to do so!

As Roy said, even if the "Release Order" were issued immediately, given Razor's personality, he probably wouldn't go with Jin without a fight. This is a signal from a strong person to the other party... proving that they are on the same level, in the same circle, and can get along... it's also a necessary act of "being shameless"!

"That's really despicable," Yinda chimed in, as if suddenly realizing something.

Jin, Razor:

They looked at each other in silence.

Elena, who witnessed this scene through "Master of the Situation," chuckled, put away the [circle], and arrived shortly after. When she looked at the two again, there was a strange and playful look in their eyes. They felt uncomfortable being called Jin and Razor, and even subtly distanced themselves from each other.

Cough cough...

Roy,

At this moment, Jin coughed a few times and reminded the Sun-Earring Boy, "This isn't the place to talk, let's go?"

Roy didn't answer him, but said gently to Yinda, "If you feel unwell again after you get back, just come to me."

Negative Emotions lurking within a "living organism" cannot be truly eradicated, just as Yinda perceives "good" and "bad," "light" and "darkness," existing in opposition yet objectively... neither can escape the other...

Roy knew very well that Yinda, who aspired to protect the region and participated in the Hunter Exam to hunt "poachers," would ultimately be psychologically manipulated by the animals and Magic Beast he protected, developing Negative Emotions. His presence was pre-anchored through the "potential Believer Panel"...

"How can I find you... Don't you want to be with me?" Yinda's clear, yet somewhat naive, little eyes were filled with deep reluctance and inner turmoil... Just then, Roy winked at him, keeping him in suspense, and said, "Just call my name in your heart, and I will naturally appear."

"However, that was already in a dream," Roy added silently to himself.

Looking back, Tong Jin nodded, and together with Gotoh, he and Razor Elena left the place.

"Hey Roy, you better keep your word!"

"Tap... tap..." The footsteps faded into the distance, Yinda suddenly shouted.

The Sun-Earring Boy stood flanked by Jin and Razor, a step behind them, followed closely by Gotoh and Elena. He smiled slightly, extended his right hand, and waved it behind him with two fingers. A cloud on the horizon, illuminated by the sunlight, refracted a rainbow of colors before gradually disappearing from Yinda's sight...

"Phew~"

Nen Exorcist... Hey, Nen Exorcist from the world's number one assassin family... After seeing Roy and the others off, Zari patted Yinda's broad arm and said, "Don't look at Yinda, he said he'll see you again. You'll definitely meet again later."

The man said in a deep voice, "None of the Zoldyck are unremarkable, even..." You don't need to look for them deliberately; perhaps one day, news of them will be all over the world!

"Yes!" Yinda nodded absentmindedly but firmly.

One last look, and the last look, and Roy and the others were already far away...

There were four people when they arrived and five when they left. At night, as the sun set, the group Chariot Driving to Vibis and randomly found a hotel to stay in.

8 PM.

Gotoh served Roy his meal, and was then forced by Roy to eat with him. After finishing her meal, she reflected on what had happened, occasionally glancing at Roy, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back...

"Just say what you have to say. Do I have to teach you?"

After finishing his dinner, Roy took out a tissue, slowly wiped his mouth, and then glanced at Gotoh.

The young butler adjusted his glasses, hesitated for a moment, then his gaze hardened, and he said resolutely, "Young Master, I have a favor to ask, please allow me to."

With that, Gotoh placed her right hand on her chest, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "I want to fight that person!"

Which one?

"The one we went to rob."

"Razor?"

"Yes!"

"Reason?"

"He's also an ' Emission,' and... I can sense that he's stronger than me!"

"So?"

"I'm going to test my limits!"

Gotoh looked up at Roy with burning eyes and said, "I want to become stronger, I want to understand the gap between us, and truly help Young Master!"

Silence prevails over the neon-lit night view outside the window at this moment...

Roy didn't say a word, crumpled the paper into a ball, and flicked it with his finger... The paper ball fell into the wastebasket along a beautiful parabola.

Gotoh swallowed hard, having just heard the Sun-Earring Boy say softly, "I have no reason to refuse."

Roy stood up, took Gotoh's arm, helped her up, and said gently, "If you want to fight, then fight. Since you've made up your mind..."

The Sun-Earring Boy's eyes narrowed. "Then give him a good beating!"

"Yes!" Gotoh straightened up again, took out the [Infinite Pistol] from her bosom, and handed it over... Roy took it, knowing that her mind was made up; she was going to test her limits without relying on anything else. He turned and left...

The Sun-Earring Boy, leaning against the dining table, half-sitting on it, quietly watched him close the door and leave. With a "click," he cocked his gun, silently fiddling with it in the neon light streaming through the window, silently waiting...

About an hour later, the door opened.

The Gotoh has returned.

The person was carried back by Razor.

"It's a shame he didn't bring that pistol."

The man laid the unconscious butler flat on the sofa beside him, then plopped down on the dining table next to Roy, casually tugging at a handful of his hair that was flying everywhere from the explosion, and said, "With a gun, he can hold on for another ten minutes."

Roy shook his head. "He won't bring it."

"I knew he wouldn't bring it." Razor opened his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "To be honest, he's quite difficult to deal with."

Razor lifted his vest, revealing several dark bruises on his chest and ribs, and said with no small amount of approval, "Look, these are all his masterpieces."

The man changed the subject, glancing sideways at Roy, and said, "As payment for helping you train your men, shouldn't you pay me?"

"You said we're friends, how can you ask a friend for payment?"

Even close brothers should keep clear accounts!

"Alright, tell me, what do you want?"

"The secret to that guy's endurance," Razor at Gotoh, his eyes burning as he looked at Roy, and said, "I want to know how he recovers his Nen Qi so quickly..."

During the prison break, Razor noticed Gotoh's unusual behavior. After fighting him personally just now, he was even more certain that... the other party possessed a method to quickly "recover energy"!

If Gotoh's understanding and cultivation of "thought" were not still inadequate, the outcome of that battle might have been very different!

At least in terms of "endurance" and "recovery speed," Razor admits he's no match for Gotoh...

"It's ' Breathing Style '." Roy compiled "Water Breathing" into a booklet and tossed it to Razor. Razor stared blankly at the words "Water Breathing" clearly written on the title page. He turned to look at Roy, only to hear the Sun-Earring Boy say calmly, "What, isn't this what you've always wanted?"

Razor out of his daze, gripping the booklet. "I just never expected you to give it to me like this."

The man got down from the table. "I thought you were favoring your subordinates and didn't want to give it to me."

With his back to the Gotoh, his tall figure enveloped the Sun-Earring Boy, and he squinted, saying, "Aren't you afraid I'll leave him even further behind?"

"Don't be afraid." Roy ignored Razor, walked around the man, took a blanket from the bed and covered Gotoh with it. He then gently laid Wutong down to make him as comfortable as possible, and said softly, "Gotoh will surpass you sooner or later. It's no big deal if you give up."

Razor: ".

You little brat... look at me when you talk!
