Sweet-Talking Illumi

Illumi, look, the District 11 governor is your target." Luo Ye eagerly pulled Illumi over to sit down, then said earnestly, "If you want us to help you deal with him, shouldn't you pay us something?"

"Why would you be helping me? Aren't we supposed to be cooperating?" Illumi's large catlike eyes were filled with confusion. "The District 11 governor is indeed my target, but he also has a grudge against you."

"We do have a grudge against him, but we can run!" Luo Ye answered solemnly. "We're not important people, and Meteor City is so big. We can just find somewhere to hide!"

Seeing Illumi looking thoughtful, Luo Ye hurriedly pressed on. "But you're different. He's your target, and you have to kill him. We can hide, but you have to face him head-on. So, all things considered, your need is more urgent than ours. That's why you need to pay us. Can you accept that?"

"Payment? What do you want?" Illumi asked in confusion. "Jenny can't be used here." Outside, Jenny was what mattered most. His family judged missions by Jenny as well, but Meteor City seemed to have no concept of money. Was Jenny even useful here?

"Not Jenny." Luo Ye quickly waved his hand and clarified what they wanted. "You only need to teach us Nen." In Meteor City, Jenny was completely useless. Only strength remained eternal. He would have to be crazy to choose Jenny!

"But haven't you already awakened Nen?" Illumi's large catlike eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension. "Do you still need me to teach you?" From his observations, they all possessed Nen aura. Luo Ye did not seem to have any, but Illumi had seen him fight that day. He should have a Nen ability as well.

Since they had all already awakened Nen, why did they still need him to teach them?

"We awakened Nen by accident. It just suddenly happened, and we don't know anything about Nen. That's why we need your guidance!" He vaguely remembered some of it, but he had never had the patience to read the explanations and had skipped over them. If he wanted to know the specific methods for training Nen, he could only turn to Illumi.

Illumi considered it for only a moment before agreeing without hesitation. "Fine, then it's settled. I'll teach you Nen, and you'll help me kill the District 11 governor." This deal was not a loss for him. After all, the methods of training Nen users were not exactly secrets among certain circles.

Nen users might be rare, but they were not nonexistent. Luo Ye and the others lacked instruction only because they were in Meteor City. Yet they had awakened Nen in a life-or-death crisis, meaning they had already taken their first step. In the danger-filled Meteor City, with their talent, they would sooner or later achieve enlightenment.

All he was doing now was shortening that process. It cost him nothing.

Illumi moved into the house and began teaching them Nen. Meanwhile, Luo Ye went outside to gather plenty of discarded junk, using it to set traps and modify the house. Illumi found it quite novel. "I didn't expect this trash could be used to trap people if put to good use."

"Isn't this all for the coming battle? I heard the District 11 governor is a Nen user who awakened Nen long ago, but no one knows what his Nen ability is." Luo Ye replied irritably. "You can't fight an opponent whose strength you don't know on his home ground! We have to lure him here!"
