Obsessive Love X The Beautiful Viper D11

I get up, wash up, and go for a run; my days are monotonous yet fulfilling.

If it weren't for someone secretly urging him to die, Roy felt he could continue living peacefully like this forever.

When young, one is unwilling to accept a peaceful life and always seeks excitement. Only after being hurt and beaten do one realize how precious a peaceful and healthy life is.

Especially when the people you love and the people who love you are around you.

"Clang~" At 4:10 a. m., in the still-dark night, before Daybreak, an "uninvited guest" arrived at Illumi's bedroom on the far west side of the first floor of the Zoldyck Family Ancient Castle.

Roy went up and down the mountain, made a simple loop, and returned to the Ancient Castle. Instead of going to his bedroom as usual, he changed direction, walked through the quaint and quiet corridor, and strolled to a window.

Outside the window, the night is long and dark; inside, shadowy figures move about.

Peering through the sliver of moonlight, a tent and a cave slowly came into view.

"Who?"

Seemingly having heard footsteps, the perceptive Ziva, Tsubone had been following Roy's orders to take care of Illumi, clung to the tent flap, poked her head out, and cautiously looked outside. She immediately noticed the striking blonde hair draped over Roy's shoulder...

The old butler tiptoed out of the tent and quickly bowed respectfully to Roy.

Roy nodded in greeting, "Shh~"

The person then darted to Tsubone's side and peered into the hole in the ground.

A huge, human-shaped Blood Cocoon was inserted upside down in the cave, expanding and contracting rhythmically with its breathing.

It looks normal, but the posture isn't very graceful...

"How did he insert it inside?"

"Isn't it uncomfortable to be upside down, head to the ground and feet to the top?"

Through the Blood Cocoon, Roy noticed that Illumi was stuck upside down in the hole, looking both speechless and amused.

"It was Young Master Illumi's own choice." Tsubone tidied his messy hair, somewhat helplessly.

It should be noted that on the very day Illumi fell into a deep sleep, she held him and laid him horizontally into the burrow. Unexpectedly, he began to wriggle and shift positions, eventually ending up in this state.

"Perhaps, this will make the Young Master feel safer," Tsubone tentatively guessed.

Roy gave a soft hum, knowing that Illumi had used the alias Gittarackur in the original story to secretly monitor the Qima, but the fact that he was actually being treated like a "crab" still made him a little uneasy.

The Sun-Earring Boy crouched down, gently stroking the Blood Cocoon, feeling the bond of Bloodline growing stronger and stronger along with the aura of the person within... Roy then opened Illumi's Believer Panel and examined it closely: [Believer: Illumi]

[Note: Evolving...]

[Current progress: 3/7 (days)]

[Loyalty: Overflowing with loyalty]

[Current physique: 1324→1898... an increase of 574 points compared to before evolution (Note: still increasing, and will continue to passively increase as the host evolves in the future)]

[Manifested Aura: C+ (70,000/100,000) → B- (350,000/1,000,000) (Note: Still increasing, and will continue to passively increase as the host evolves)]

[Potential Aura: B-1 (200,000/million) → B (700,000/million) (Note: This has surpassed Gotoh and will passively increase as the host continues to evolve)]

[Department: Control]

[Initial Nen Ability: Nen Needle]

[Embrace Nen Ability: Currently awakening...]

[Overall Strength Rating: B-]

[Note: Referring to Chimera Ants, your Believer "Illumi" is gradually approaching the level of the Sharp Chimera Ant Squadron Leader, officially entering the B level.]

First, his current strength has reached level one of Shaiapouf, second only to the combat-type guards Neferpitou and Shaiapouf... his potential is slightly higher than the Three Royal Guards.

[Currently in a state of Absolute Domination]

In just three days, he's already almost reached Gotoh's current level of strength.

Roy felt a mix of anticipation, relief, and mixed emotions. After turning off the control panel, he squatted down by the pit and quietly looked at his stubborn, twisted, and stupid younger brother. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Young Master, are you going out?" A gust of wind blew by, stirring up a few withered leaves...

The old butler, a man of wisdom and keen intellect, seemed to sense something. He turned his back and quietly closed the window, keeping the cold wind out.

"I'll be gone for a few days," Roy said silently, stroking the Blood Cocoon as he planned his next move. "I might not make it in time for him to wake up."

"That's a pity," Tsubone said, looking regretfully at Illumi sleeping in the Blood Cocoon. "If Young Master Illumi wakes up and can't see you, he'll probably be very sad."

Roy remained silent, simply gazing at Illumi. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Actually, I thought he would refuse that day."

The Sun-Earring Boy's gaze was somewhat deep. Recalling Illumi's behavior in the original work, he paused for a moment, then said, "Such a stubborn and obstinate person would absolutely not want to lose his freedom or be controlled by others..."

To Roy's surprise, Illumi didn't even hesitate. Knowing full well that he would be under Roy's [Absolute Domination], he still chose to embrace [the Embrace].

So, Tsubone listened silently, and after a long silence, he looked at Roy deeply and said, "Young Master, do you regret it?"

Roy's hand, which was gently Blood Cocoon. He lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and slowly shook his head. "It's not that I regret it, but I can't help but wonder, if I had another chance, would he still choose the same thing?"

"Yes," Tsubone said without hesitation, pushing up his glasses.

Roy turned to look at her in surprise.

The old butler's two pink ponytails swayed gently behind her back as she looked directly into Roy's eyes without any hesitation and said, "Love can drive a man mad, Young Master."

I don't know what I was thinking about, maybe it was the time I spent fooling around with Jager when I was young, or maybe it was watching Silva grow up for so long that now that I'm old, I'm starting to watch over Illumi...

Tsubone looked at Roy with gentle eyes, as if looking at his own granddaughter Amane, and said softly, "Without constraints, there is no freedom. Perhaps for the Young Master, losing freedom is a kind of pain, but for Young Master Illumi, this is not pain, but the happiness he has always dreamed of, the happiness that he can only hope for but never obtain."

"Thump~" The old butler's words had barely faded when a heartbeat, like a muffled thunderclap, suddenly emanated from the Blood Cocoon.

Roy:

Silence fell.

He didn't know how much time had passed—perhaps a second, a minute, ten minutes, or an hour... The Sun-Earring Boy sighed Youyou, stood up again, and instructed Tsubone to take good care of Illumi. Roy took one last deep look at the sleeping fool in the Blood Cocoon, then turned and walked towards the door.

Thump... thump... thump...

The Sun-Earring Boy walks, and the heartbeat follows...

The door was just a blink away. Roy turned the handle and finally stopped, a mixture of helplessness and warmth in his eyes. He glared back at Blood Cocoon with feigned anger and said, "I know, stop calling me. We won't separate."

Just like how you risked your life to threaten Kikyo to kill you, my foolish and obsessive little brother, from now on you will live humbly under Nii-san's Absolute Domination!

"Squeak~" The door opened, then closed.

Roy, with his back to the door, looked up at the sky and faintly saw a sliver of dawn, appearing and disappearing intermittently. He let out a soft breath.

"Clang~" It was five in the morning.

Dawn lay in ambush at the Kukuroo Mountain, secretly watching...

Roy stood outside Illumi's bedroom for a few more minutes before finally moving towards his own bedroom.

"Gurgle, gurgle..." The young butler, with a thick beard, was already waiting at the bedroom door, pushing a food cart.

When Roy lifted the lid of the table, several steaming dishes from his previous life, his "hometown dishes," came into view.

Dishes like "scrambled eggs with tomatoes," "braised pork," and "eggplant with garlic sauce" are all his favorites, clearly...

Knowing that she was leaving home today, Gotoh specifically instructed the kitchen to make preparations in advance.

Roy felt a warmth in his heart, picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of braised pork, and put it in his mouth. He chewed slowly, savoring the delicious flavor exploding on his tongue, and asked, "Did you send a portion to Great-Grandpa?"

"Master has already eaten." Gotoh pushed up her glasses and winked at Roy. "These are extra I had the kitchen hide."

Roy smiled, his eyes narrowing. That's true. With his great-grandfather's gourmand nature, if he didn't keep some for himself, he probably wouldn't have been able to eat any.

Of course, Roy knew that nothing could escape Maha's eyes, and that Mah had already tasted all the delicacies... The dishes he had copied would naturally not catch the eye of Mah, or even Gourmet Hunters like Linne, Menchi, and Buhara.

But who can blame Roy Zoldyck never forgetting that taste?

Roy sat down at the dining table, savoring the memories of his past life, and said to Gotoh, "Get ready, book a plane ticket to Yorknew City in the next couple of days, and while you're at it, contact Hoffman. Isn't he in Meteor City right now? Go visit him." (Note: Hoffman is Tsubone's son, and is currently in charge of gathering intelligence and tracking the [True God Cult], as mentioned earlier.)

"Young Master, Hoffman sent someone back the day before yesterday,"

Not only that, "He also sent something else."

"They say the Young Master will know what it is at a glance."

Mentioning Hoffman reminded Gotoh of something. Under Roy's surprised gaze, she took out a small, sealed plastic bag from her jacket pocket and opened it in her palm.

Roy put down his chopsticks, glanced at the bag casually, and his brows furrowed slightly as he keenly sensed a familiar Nen Qi emanating from it.

It also immediately reminded him of a charismatic Sun-Earring Boy with green hair, [Spirit Coffee] Guzman!

"Don't tell me this is drugs." Roy didn't reach out to take it, Gotoh didn't seem to be offering it either. Instead, she pushed up her glasses and looked at Roy very seriously, saying, "Young Master has discerning eyes, but what's inside isn't drugs."

The young butler, with a deep gaze, added, "In my opinion, it's something far more terrifying than drugs, perhaps even ten or a hundred times more terrifying!"

As he spoke, Gotoh opened the plastic bag, and a Nen Qi rose out.

A capsule suddenly appeared in Roy's field of vision, grabbing his attention!

Gotoh held the capsule up to the light, letting Roy see it clearly. Roy took a deep breath and blurted out, "Hoffman is tidying up his hair..."

Several pieces of intelligence have arrived: 1. The capsule he sent is named "D11," and it is said to be produced by the [True God Cult], possessing the power to help ordinary people awaken their "Spiritual Wisdom" and "Extraordinary Abilities ";

2. "D11" has gone through eleven iterations since "D1" and is now circulating among high-ranking officials in major powers such as V5 Kakin.

3. Several days ago, Hoffman also discovered traces of "D11" on the continent of Yorbian, and through some special channels, tracked down that "D11" had now appeared in Yorknew City, and even Meteor City;

"Furthermore," Gotoh added with some apprehension after reporting these pieces of information, "Hoffman previously captured a Nen user and conducted experiments on him."

"This 'D11' not only effective for ordinary people, but also affects Nen users, specifically... after taking it, their Nen level increases significantly."

"Therefore, this pill is now being auctioned for hundreds of millions of Jeni on the black market!"

"Oh," Roy finished the last piece of braised pork on his plate, expressionlessly pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said:

"Are the gentlemen aware of this?"

"I know," Gotoh nodded. "Given Hoffman's personality, Mr. Silva should be the first to know."

Roy paused in wiping his mouth, then suddenly vanished in a flash. When Gotoh looked up...

The Sun-Earring Boy, sporting a head of beautiful blond hair, appeared on the second floor of the Ancient Castle sometime during the night and knocked on the door of the quaint and spacious bedroom.

"Knock... knock... knock..."

The door opened, and a burly figure with a cascading head of silver hair entered Roy's field of vision with an expressionless face.

Silva Zoldyck looked straight at his eldest son, who was almost as tall as him, and calmly asked, "What is it?"

Roy Gate of Opening, looking directly into Silva's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I know you know, so please tell my father, have you eaten?"

Separated by a door, through the crack, one could vaguely see Kikyo holding Chima, craning his neck and gazing in this direction.

Father and son faced each other in silence for a long while before the silence was broken by Silva, whose eyes were narrowed.

"If I eat it, what are you going to do?"

"I'll beat you until you throw up." Roy replied calmly, then repeated, "So, did you eat?"

Silva remained silent for a long while, then suppressed a low laugh, the laughter filled with contempt and disdain!

The man looked Roy straight in the eyes. "Do I need to eat?"

Roy's tense expression instantly melted away like snow, and he smiled, "Of course not."

The man followed through the crack in the door, waved to Qi You in Kikyo's arms, and vanished into the light.

"Whoosh..." In the blink of an eye, only Silva remained standing in front of the door in the second-floor corridor, disheveled in the wind.

"Eee-yah-yah~" After what seemed like an eternity, Kikyo called out to him, "Silva, come change Chima's diaper!"

o

The man followed Roy's retreating figure, glanced at the first floor through the walls, turned and closed the door, saying in a deep voice, "He's here."
