A slender figure emerged from behind the tree.
Bai Zhu had just pushed half his body up from the ground when he suddenly felt as if someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over him.
He did not need to look to know who had arrived—Illumi.
Illumi walked straight up to Killua, placed a hand on his hair, felt the back of his head, then checked his shoulders and arms.
"Are you hurt?"
"Yes."
Killua answered quickly.
Bai Zhu looked at him.
He had been lively and kicking just moments ago, and now he was injured?
Illumi lowered his head to inspect him.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't just make things up."
Killua ignored him completely.
"They even said they were going to flick me..."
Halfway through, Killua suddenly lowered his head, his shoulders shrinking with it.
He did not finish what he was saying, but the grievance was already overflowing.
Bai Zhu felt his scalp tighten.

Bai Zhu immediately greeted him.
"Long time no see."
Illumi looked at him for several seconds.
"Does our friendship include you bringing Milluki along to bully Killua?"
"There was a slight misunderstanding here."
"What misunderstanding?"
"We were merely having some friendly interaction between brothers."
Bai Zhu pointed to where Milluki had been standing.
