No answer was an answer in itself.
When Qiao Lun's conditions received no answer within five seconds, the Nen around him also shifted into a combat state.
At the same time, the two Divine Dogs lunged ahead of him, one at Sub and the other at Bara.
Qiao Lun himself used no Cursed Energy, attacking Genthru with Nen alone!

Genthru deflected Qiao Lun's devastating punch with his wrist, then turned his hand over and reached for Qiao Lun's wrist.

With Gyo focused in his eyes, he easily caught the changes in the flow of aura around Genthru's hand as it turned to seize him.
It was the precursor to the activation of Genthru's Nen Ability, Little Flower.
There were two ways to defend against this move. One was to pinpoint where Genthru would attack and resist it with a stronger defense.
After all, through Gyo, he could clearly see the Nen Genthru gathered around his own hand when launching this attack.
