But at that critical instant, hurried footsteps rang out from the passage entrance.
"Lin Yan!"
"Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
Two figures charged in one after the other like cannonballs, instantly placing themselves in front of Lin Yan.
Killua stood with his hands in his pockets, his silver hair striking beneath the dim lights. His catlike eyes locked coldly onto Shadaso, his nails lengthening inside his pockets as he unleashed the Zoldyck Family's unmistakable assassin aura without restraint.
Gon dispensed with any flashy gestures. He simply assumed the most basic fighting stance, his eyes resolute as he faced forward, shielding Lin Yan behind him with his body.
"You two..." Lin Yan looked at the boys standing in front of him, his heart a tangle of emotions.
He had meant to handle this himself. He had never expected these two kids to come after him.
Sitting in his wheelchair, Libedo froze at the sight of the two kids who had suddenly charged in, then let out a shrill, bizarre laugh.
"Hahahaha! I wondered who it was. Just two snot-nosed brats! What?
"Trying to play heroes like the grown-ups? Do you even know where you are?"
Shadaso stopped attacking as well. His "invisible hand" hovered in midair as he spoke in a sinister tone:
"Since you're here, don't bother leaving. Perfect timing. I'll teach you rookies the rules of the 200th Floor.
"I'll cripple all three of you today. That should serve as a warning to anyone who comes after."
"Rules?"
Killua scoffed, his eyes brimming with contempt. "The Zoldyck Family's rule is to kill everyone who gets in our way.
"Want to give it a try?"
Shadaso narrowed his lone eye. Of course he had heard of the Zoldyck Family, but he trusted his own judgment more.
