Chapter 222 A Little Warning

Tsubone did not mention Silva's reaction to this matter.

But Illumi guessed that Silva was angry.

Not only because he recklessly attacks passers-by, who have nothing to do with the assassination commission, but also because his arbitrary actions have affected Killua's training.

Illumi had to admit…

He was indeed too hasty in handling this matter.

Originally, he could have handled it better...

Because assassins should solve problems the way assassins do.

Instead of acting recklessly in public and causing this matter to affect Killua.

Illumi believed that the reason why Silva was angry was because of his inadequate abilities and the wrong approach.

If he could perfectly deal with Moses in an assassin's way, then his father would have no reason to be angry.

'I'll have to wait until next time.'

Illumi couldn't disobey Silva's orders.

This means that he couldn't take action against Moses in the short term.

Tsubone didn't know what Illumi was thinking, but she could see that Illumi had no sense of introspection at all.

"Where's Killua?"

Illumi suddenly asked.

Tsubone said calmly: "Outside."

"I need to talk to him."

Illumi got up from the bed and was about to go outside to see Killua.

However, Tsubone stood in front of him.

Such behavior obviously meant to prevent him from contacting Killua.

"…"

Illumi slowly raised his head to look at Tsubone blocking the way, and dark aura seemed to be swirling in his pitch-black eyes.

Tsubone, unmoved, emphasized: "Silva-sama's order is for you to return home immediately."

"…"

Hearing Tsubone's words, the black aura in Illumi's eyes swirled rapidly like a vortex, and Nen filled with malice silently emanated from his body.

"Tsubone, I said, I need to talk to Killua."

"I also said, Silva-sama's order is for you to return home immediately."

Facing Illumi's extreme reaction, Tsubone showed no fear at all and had no intention of giving in.

Illumi was silent for a moment when he saw this.

The most senior butler in the family in front of him obviously wouldn't make concessions for him.

Illumi, who realized this, didn't say anything more and simply left the clinic through the window.

Tsubone watched Illumi leave with an expressionless face.

She doesn't care what Illumi wants to do, nor did she care about Illumi's feelings.

What she was currently worried about was that she had exposed her whereabouts in order to save Illumi, which led Killua to know her existence and her mission.

Protecting him in secret is no longer possible now.

A few seconds later.

Faint footsteps sounded outside the door.

Tsubone turned around and looked at the half-open door.

Killua came to the door, his hands in his sweater pockets, and he raised his eyes to look at Tsubone.

"Tsubone, is that 'thing' something I cannot understand deeply?"

When he came to the ward, he didn't ask about Illumi's whereabouts. Instead, he asked about the unknown force that he had always been curious about.

Tsubone's gaze was steady, and she bowed slightly, saying: "Yes, you are still young now."

"Lies."

Killua stared into Tsubone's eyes.

Tsubone's gaze remained unchanged. She stood there like a piece of wood, not saying anything else.

Killua knew it was impossible to get anything out of Tsubone.

But there is something he had to confirm.

"Tsubone, is it dad's intention not to let me get in touch with that thing deeply?"

"…"

Tsubone remained silent, looking like she had nothing to say.

"Then is dad's intention to stop or to forbid?"

"…"

"Can't you even answer such a simple question?"

"…"

"Hmph, then I'll go ask Moses myself, no, I'll have Moses teach me directly!"

Seeing that Tsubone was unresponsive, Killua was so angry that he turned around and ran out of the ward after saying a few words.

Tsubone looked at the empty ward and couldn't help but sigh.

Because of Illumi's recklessness, the matter of Killua's solitary training had completely gone awry.

"Sorry, Killua-chan."

Tsubone took out her phone and muttered to herself: "With my position, I can't cover for you without authorization."

As she said that, she dialed a number.

The existence of Moses, and the possibility of Moses making Killua learn Nen, must be reported clearly to Silva.

…

Kukuroo Mountain, Zoldyck Family's mansion.

In a dimly lit room filled with various bizarre objects, Silva and Zeno stood in front of a wall covered with pipes.

There is a display screen hanging on the wall.

At this time…

The confrontation between Moses and Tsubone is being played on the screen.

"Dad, what do you think?"

Silva crossed his arms and stared directly at the screen. At this time, he could see Moses's action of closing her hands.

Zeno's eyes showed contemplation and he murmured in a low voice.

"Similar, but not pretentious."

Staring at the frozen scene on the screen, the scene of Netero using the 100-Type Guanyin flashed through Zeno's mind.

Whether it's action or momentum.

It's really too similar.

To be honest, when Zeno saw this video for the first time, he really had the feeling that the boy would unleash a 100-Type Guanyin in the next moment.

This inexplicable sensation surprised him.

It's no wonder that Tsubone, who has been through countless battles, suddenly stopped attacking at that moment.

Because Tsubone had also seen Netero's 100-Type Guanyin with her own eyes, so she must have had a very strong firsthand experience at that moment.

But to say that such a young man can use the 100-Type Guanyin...

Is such a thing possible?

"Give a little warning to Illumi, Silva."

Zeno stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze shifting away from the screen.

It is just an action that has not yet revealed the full picture, so it does not mean anything.

But what can be certain is that a young man who can mimic this gesture vividly is by no means ordinary.

Zeno felt that this boy might be related to Netero, but he would not go out of his way to ask Netero about such a trivial matter.

"Um."

Silva nodded.

It's unclear if it's because of differences in Nen Attributes, but Silva felt that ever since Illumi learned Nen, his behavior has become increasingly unlike him and Zeno.

"Ring, ring-"

Suddenly, Silva's phone rang.

It's a call from Tsubone.

Silva took out his phone, answered, and put it against his ear, listening quietly to Tsubone's report.

After a while.

Silva couldn't help but frown slightly after listening to Tsubone's report.

Zeno looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That boy might help Killua learn Nen."

Silva briefly explained the situation.

"Oh?"

Zeno raised his eyebrows.

…

The next morning.

Moses woke up and noticed the text displayed on the TV.

[Battle day confirmed.]

"The 223rd floor arena."

"Starts at 4 p.m. on October 8th."

The notice on the TV only stated the location and the start time.

As for who his opponent is, Moses has no idea.

Perhaps this is the downside of filling in 'anytime' on the battle declaration form.

"I hope they're a reliable opponent."

Moses muttered softly to himself.

Winning or losing doesn't matter to him.

What he cares about is whether he can gain experience points to become stronger from the battle.
