Is Having Him Alone Not Enough?

Most importantly, these things might have looked like a lot, but they were still a little too few for when they grew up.

If Illumi joined them, there would be no need to divide them up. They could all use them together.

The only question was whether Illumi would be willing to join them.

They wanted Illumi to join them? Feitan's sharp golden eyes instantly shot toward Illumi, his expression unfriendly.

He had been willing to let Machi join because she was a girl, and Luo Ye still needed a playmate.

But why did Yezi want to invite Illumi? Wasn't having him alone enough?

Feitan felt deeply wronged, but he said nothing. His resentful gaze merely kept drifting toward Luo Ye.

The gaze prickling against his back made Luo Ye shudder. He cautiously glanced at Feitan's expression, then quickly looked away.

Strange. Why did meeting Feitan's eyes make him feel like some heartless scumbag?

He felt so guilty that he did not even dare look at Feitan.

Meanwhile, Illumi, the one being invited, hesitated. "You're the second group to invite me to join. I need to think about it."

How could he refuse without hurting their relationship, and how could he quietly lure them back to his home instead?

However, Luo Ye gave him a different feeling from the boy who had invited him last time. That boy had been far too shrewd; Illumi had felt that joining him would only get him tricked.

But Luo Ye would not. Moreover, Luo Ye seemed like the type who followed the rules and would be willing to stay in one place for a long time, which suited his family perfectly.

As for Feitan, with Luo Ye around, Feitan would not be able to run away either.

People from Meteor City did not understand love, but Illumi had watched adult films. He could tell from the way Feitan looked at Luo Ye that it was clearly love without realizing it!

If he lured Luo Ye away, Feitan would definitely follow.

Machi would be a little troublesome, but he could look for an opportunity to see if there was any opening.

Looking at it that way, joining them might actually be more beneficial for luring people out.

With that thought, Illumi immediately made up his mind.

He would join them, lure Luo Ye back to his home, and take his entire team with him while he was at it!

"The second group?" Luo Ye raised a brow, somewhat surprised. "Who has such a good eye?"

To spot Illumi, this hidden gem, among so many people at a glance—their judgment was truly sharp.

However, since Illumi had not accepted that person's invitation back then, Luo Ye still had a chance.

Bringing a Zoldyck assassin into his little group would be a huge boost to their strength. He would never let such an opportunity slip away.

As for that unknown inviter, they could only forgive him. Luo Ye was not giving up such a useful person to poach.

Illumi thought back. "I think his name was Chrollo or something. He gave me a few days to consider whether to join. I guess when we go back this time, he'll come to ask me in person."

That person had given him time to think, but Illumi had felt that he was too shrewd, too difficult to fool, and too troublesome, so he had chosen to ignore him.

But several days had passed now. Calculating the time, he should be coming soon.

Chrollo? As in Chrollo Lucil?

Luo Ye: "..."

There was still a chance of someone sharing the same name, but with his connection to Illumi and the fact that this was Meteor City, the man's identity was obvious.

No one else came to mind but the head spider of the Phantom Troupe.

Fine, Luo Ye admitted he had been a little too loud just now. Illumi was indeed useful, but competing with the Troupe Leader for him made him panic a little.

Luo Ye's face stiffened.
