"You've never met Killua, and you no longer remember him. You are my most loyal subordinate. You must obey every one of my orders unconditionally."
A Luo's eyelashes trembled violently.
Something in her subconscious seemed to have been tampered with. It was as though a Thought Seal had been branded into her mind, suddenly giving her a master she could not disobey.
No!
This was wrong.
She wasn't anyone's subordinate. She was free. She wanted to find her mom and live a happy life with Malena, not slave away for some stranger.
But in her weakened state, the girl's mind could not resist Illumi's Nen Ability. After a brief struggle, her memories and even her consciousness were distorted.
Her violently trembling eyelashes stilled, and the twisted expression on the girl's face returned to calm.
A moment later, A Luo opened a pair of vacant eyes that looked almost exactly like Illumi's. She blinked mechanically, memorized his appearance, then fell asleep again.
Still, bolstered by Illumi's Nen, A Luo's pale, sickly complexion improved considerably. Her body rapidly absorbed his aura, repairing the damage caused by pushing herself far beyond her limits.
Hisoka sat on the windowsill, watching the scene unfold on the hospital bed through narrowed eyes. He chuckled.
"Oh my, oh my! Your ability always seems so interesting, Illumi! ♥"
The perverted Fruit Farmer silently gave Illumi a score, licking his lips with ravenous desire.
Perhaps the greatest reward of this trip was the ripe, tempting fruit right in front of him?
Of all the ripe fruit he had encountered so far, Illumi's appeal was second only to Chrollo's.
He really wanted to swallow him whole!
Sensing a wisp of bloodlust drifting from the windowsill, Illumi suddenly turned his head a full hundred and eighty degrees to look at Hisoka.
