"You must be the Gon that Killua was talking about?"

Walking through the Zoldyck Family's courtyard woods, suddenly, a woman's voice reached Jack's ears.

He instinctively took two steps back, looking at the woman in the red dress with wariness. "You are...?"

He tentatively opened his mouth, but couldn't help being amazed by the beauty of this woman.

She has a slender figure and fair skin.

Ruby-like eyes paired with snow-white hair.

A beauty mark at the corner of her eye added a touch of allure to the woman.

The woman looked at the baby that had just reached her belly, bent down slightly, and smiled gently, "I've heard Killua mention you. I'm his older sister."

Jay opened his mouth in surprise; Killua had never mentioned having a beautiful young older sister.

Doesn't he have three older brothers?

Scratching his head, Jay voiced his confusion. "But Killua didn't say that, did he?"

The woman paid no attention to the tense child, even walking over to him and ruffling his black hair. "You've met his Second Brother, haven't you? He looks a lot like me, doesn't he?"

As she spoke, the woman pointed to her eyes and continued, "The same ruby, I'm his cousin, his uncle's child."

Looking into those familiar yet completely different eyes, Gon slowly relaxed. "No, my sister's eyes are even prettier than that brother's."

It's like a hot spring, as warm as a gentle breeze.

Coleman's eyes were always cold, even when he was smiling, they exuded a chill.

The woman seemed quite surprised, and covered her mouth to laugh, "Really? I think so too. Mine is much prettier than Xiao Ke's."

"Let's go, I'll take you through a shortcut."

The woman put her arm around Jay's small shoulder and pushed him deeper into the jungle.

"But..." Gon hesitated, then stopped himself, "My companions are still behind us; they've been stopped by a monster."

Jay originally came back to find the security guard.

At this point, he couldn't help but sound anxious, "Big sister, can you stop that monster?"

The woman seemed confused upon hearing this. She tilted her head and said, bewildered, " The Zoldyck doesn't have monsters."

"Awoo~~"

A roar pierced the sky, overlapping perfectly with the woman's voice.

"This is it!" Jay exclaimed excitedly, turning around to walk back.

He's going to help Leorio and Kurapika.

But before he could even move, he was stopped by a long, slender, fair hand.

Jay subconsciously looked up and saw that the woman who had just been all smiles had her brows furrowed, exuding an air of authority without anger.

She raised her voice, coldly issuing the command, " Mike!"

Almost instantly, the strange noises from the distant jungle ceased.

The next second, smoke and dust billowed up.

A gigantic four-legged monster came galloping towards them.

His dark eyes were filled with excitement. He pushed off with his hind legs and lunged forward.

Jay gripped the fishing rod, ready to cast.

Before it could retaliate, the enormous monster was stopped by the frail woman in front of it.

The woman simply raised her palm and placed it on Mike's head.

The mountain-like body remained suspended in mid-air.

The ground beneath her high heels cracked, but the woman didn't retreat an inch.

Jay stood frozen in surprise, his mouth agape.

This... this... this can't be a lie, right?

How can someone be so strong?

"Alright, alright, stop whining." The woman calmly ruffled Mike's enormous head.

Wave your hand and let it go play somewhere else.

"Second... Miss, Mike..." The gatekeeper, who had rushed over, stammered when he saw the woman.

Kurapika was following closely behind, noticed this strange scene and subconsciously fixed his gaze on the 'second young lady'.

They saw the elegant young woman waving her hand, clad in a white gauze glove, at the three of them.

"Are you all here to see Killua?" Kurapika heard the woman say.

Then, the woman clapped her hands. " Gotoh, take them to the deacon's reception room. Young Master Killua is still having a heart-to-heart talk with Second Uncle."

"Yes!"

A calm, adult voice sounded from behind, startling the three children present.

"Second Miss," Gotoh, adapting well to the Second Young Master's eagerness to put on an act, even adding her own flair, "Would you like to stay for dinner tonight?"

The woman winked mischievously. "If Second Uncle were to open that treasured Bertel wine he's kept for so long, that wouldn't be out of the question."

The demands were arguably excessive, but Gotoh handled them with ease.

"I think it's possible."

After all, the second young master had already taken quite a lot; all I had to do was take it from his room.

The woman paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to Gotoh. Please take good care of the children first."

"Yes."

As she spoke, the woman pushed Jay in front of the other two kids, winked, and said, "Let's talk again next time. I have something to take care of."

"Big sister, what's your name..." Gon asked, blinking his somewhat confused eyes.

He always felt that this person gave him a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't quite place him.

The woman gently placed her index finger on Gon's lips, bent down slightly, and said mysteriously, "It's a secret. Let's talk about it next time. We'll meet again."

As she spoke, the woman took a step back and blended into the night.

Gon, brimming with questions, glanced at Kurapika, who seemed lost in thought, and then at Leorio, who looked completely mesmerized by a beautiful woman. He was utterly frustrated.

"Alright, young masters, the wait might be a little long. We can have some dessert and play some fun games first."

The sound of the Gotoh roused the three people from their thoughts.

They made eye contact for a second, then followed the Gotoh housekeeper who was walking forward.

About three minutes later, the 'woman' emerged from the bushes again.

"Second Young Master, you really have a wicked sense of humor," the security guard with the thermos chuckled, teasing, "Aren't you afraid of being recognized and feeling embarrassed?"

"Hmm?" A slightly deep male voice came from the 'woman's' mouth.

The woman blinked and laughed, "It was just a joke. Besides, wasn't the layout quite interesting?"

Tying up his overly long hair, Coleman muttered to himself, "I should drag Illumi out of there in her cheongsam later so we can all go together."

Playing alone is so boring!

If we're going to make a fool of ourselves, shouldn't we all be together?

Coleman squinted as he looked at the moon in the sky.

He could already picture Killua's embarrassed expression.

This is... exciting!

"Oh, right," Coleman suddenly said.

"Get some people to this address in a few days."

The security guard took Coleman's note, and when he saw the words on it, his expression became somewhat serious. "The master's side..."

"You can tell him, but you can't..." Coleman's expression was inscrutable. He only finished speaking before adding a seemingly unrelated statement, "Finding money isn't something to be proud of."

The gatekeeper understood that this was something that couldn't be done under the guise of Zoldyck, so he needed to mobilize some other personnel.

At the very least, this order cannot be issued by the head of the family.

"Then the eldest young master..." The gatekeeper was a little worried. The second young master always did high-risk, high-reward jobs and never told the eldest young master.

Finding money—that's a sure sign of an impending conflict. If the eldest young master didn't know, who knows how he'd scold the second young master later.

Thinking about this gave the gatekeeper a headache.

These are all children I've watched grow up, why can't they ever be a worry-free bunch?

Coleman put his hands behind his back and said with a grin, "Don't worry, Illumi won't be angry, and maybe he'll even come and play with me~"

The doorman was about to say something, but Coleman interrupted him with his raised hand.

Helpless, they could only watch as the white-haired 'woman' hummed a tune and skipped and hopped into the woods.
