Just as Luo Ye was about to speak, Illumi interrupted him. "All right, you don't need to say anything. I understand already."

Luo Ye: "???"

If the thoughts in his head could take form, he was sure his head would be full of question marks. He had not even said anything yet—how did Illumi already understand?

He did not even understand it himself. What could Illumi possibly understand?

Feitan snorted coldly. "Since you understand, then don't cause trouble for others."

Hurry up and go back where you came from. Don't squeeze your way into their group.

He did not know where Yezi had heard about that Chrollo, but he knew Yezi hated trouble.

Especially big trouble. Yezi had always kept his distance from it.

Judging from Yezi's expression, that Chrollo was a huge problem. Otherwise, he would not have given up on such a useful fighter as Illumi.

Although he did not want Illumi to join them, he could not deny that Illumi was indeed powerful.

If Illumi joined their team, their odds of survival would improve greatly. But if he brought trouble with him, then forget it.

"Are you telling me what to do? Why should I listen to you?" Illumi refused to yield an inch. "Yezi was the one who invited me, not you."

Yezi had invited him. What did that have to do with Feitan?

Only Yezi himself could reject him. Feitan should not be doing it for him.

Feitan snapped viciously, "It's true that Yezi invited you just now, but he doesn't want to invite you anymore!"

Have some sense and get lost already. Stop standing here and getting in everyone's way!

"I'll only listen to Yezi," Illumi said, turning his gaze toward Luo Ye. "Do you really not want me to join?"

Feitan's gaze also shifted over. "Yezi, you don't want him to join now, right?"

Luo Ye: "..." He really wanted to say yes, but under Illumi's gaze, he truly felt an enormous amount of pressure.

After all, Chrollo was the leader of the Spiders in Hunter x Hunter, and Illumi was another terrifying figure in Hunter x Hunter.

He did not want to provoke Chrollo, but that did not mean he wanted to anger Illumi either.

Especially since he had invited Illumi and was now rejecting him. It always felt like he was toying with someone. Without a good enough reason, he could not justify it.

And all he wanted was to withdraw the invitation. Why did meeting both of their gazes make this feel like a shura field? Was it just his imagination?

Whenever Luo Ye could not make a decision himself, he decisively chose to shift the trouble elsewhere. He turned to Machi, who had been standing off to the side with an astonishingly low presence. "Machi, tell me—should we invite Illumi to join us?"

Machi: "..." Ten thousand curses flew through her heart. Could they not just leave her alone? Did they have to drag her into this mess?

But now everyone was looking at her, so Machi had no choice but to give her opinion. "My intuition tells me it would be better to let Illumi join."

Feitan frowned deeply. "What if he brings enemies here? Is your intuition really accurate?"

Although Machi's intuition had been quite reliable several times before, this was not a Nen ability. What if it failed?

Before Machi could speak, Luo Ye spoke first. "Machi's intuition will never be wrong."

In Hunter x Hunter, Machi's intuition was practically a conceptual ability. As long as it gave a clear direction, it would never be wrong.

Machi gave him a strange look before explaining, "My intuition tells me that enemy would come looking for us even without Illumi."

So Illumi joining them could also improve their overall strength. Still, she did not feel as though she had used her intuition much. Why did Luo Ye seem to understand it even better than she did?
