"You shouldn't be a match for Killua, so why would he rather fail his mission and get punished than kill you? Did you know each other before?"
A Luo: "..."
Oh, heavens!
With Illumi asking that... what could she say to fool the guy in front of her?
What if this brother-obsessed freak found out she was Killua's friend?
Given his personality, wouldn't he want to kill her?
Just like during the Hunter Exam.
When he learned that Killua considered Gon a friend, he had immediately wanted to kill him. And if Gon hadn't been Hisoka's prey, Illumi really would have attacked him to eliminate a potential threat!
In a flash, an old saying suddenly popped into A Luo's head.
Strike first to gain the upper hand; strike second and suffer!
Before Illumi could react, A Luo rushed forward, drove a heavy elbow into him, then flung a handful of medicinal powder into his face.
The pink, mistlike powder seemed to dissolve through his skin. The instant it touched Illumi's face, it entered his body.
Then it followed the Aura inside him, rapidly spreading throughout his body.
Illumi's expressionless face began to heat up!
"What did you do to me?"
For once, the perpetually expressionless man actually looked a little flustered.
"Why is my whole body heating up? Something's wrong... my family has always trained us to resist poisons. Never mind that tiny bit of powder you just threw at me-even ten times that amount shouldn't have worked on me or affected me at all!"
A Luo smiled.
Illumi was right. Few drugs in this world could take effect on members of the Zoldyck Family in such a short time. That tiny amount of powder, in particular, should never have worked on a Zoldyck who had undergone poison training since
