Chapter 47

Suddenly, Killian raised a question.

"Wait, our preparations are based on the assumption that the enemy has only a few members. What if they have a lot of people?"

"Impossible," Ryu shook her head. "If there are many people, it proves that their individual strengths are lacking. If their individual strengths are weak, they won't be able to kill Cole and Frankski so quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ryu's expression changed dramatically.

"Nen Bomb!"

Ryu looked up and saw a massive Nen bomb flying toward her.

"Watch out!"

Ryu's pupils constricted.

However, Kek and Killian did not see it.

In the distance, Ron felt a stirring in his heart.

"From the way they're discussing, I thought they were close."

"But in reality, they are still on high alert against each other."

"My Nen bomb can be seen by Ryu, but Kek and Killian cannot see it."

"This proves that even though Ryu knows how to condense, she hasn't taught this technique to Kek and Killian."

However, thanks to Ryu's warning, Kek and Killian managed to dodge in time.

Yet, Ron hadn't really expected the Nen bomb to be effective.

Ron's ability was in the Emission category.

But he wasn't just an ordinary Emission Nen user; he was a Specialization-type Nen user.

Ron's ability focused more on Nen Beasts, which are unique Nen constructs, rather than just Nen Bombs.

To Ron, a Nen bomb was merely a supplementary method.

It was not even as effective as Ron's own combat skills.

Having trained in the Zoldyck family's combat techniques since he was young, his assassin skills were incredibly strong just by combining them with Hatsu.

A pink figure appeared behind Killian.

"Killian, watch out!"

Ryu reminded him again.

But when Killian turned around, he saw nothing.

The Killer Queen raised the scissors in her hand and fiercely lunged at Killian.

"Thud!"

Killian's expression changed as he hurriedly manipulated his Nen Threads to defend in front of him.

The Killer Queen couldn't get any closer.

Killian let out a sigh of relief.

The Killer Queen quickly switched to Kek.

Since Kek couldn't see the Killer Queen, he could only defend passively.

"Bang!"

The sound of fists striking flesh echoed continuously.

If Kek weren't an Enhancement-type user, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it for long.

Ryu's expression became extremely serious.

"The opponent is an Emission Nen user, and the one who attacked us was a Nen Beast."

"Now that the Nen Beast is being held back by Kek, we need to find that Nen user!"

"Only in this way can we win!"

At that moment, Ryu deeply regretted not teaching Kek and Killian how to condense Nen.

If she had taught them, the situation against Ron's attack wouldn't have been so dire.

But now it was too late to say anything.

Moreover, Ryu regretted not only that.

She also regretted that the traps she had set up were too simple.

They hadn't caused Ron any interference whatsoever.

"There!"

Killian spotted Ron's figure.

"Let's go!"

Ryu shouted, and both Killian and Kek charged toward Ron's position.

However, the two did not realize that Ron had intentionally exposed himself to allow Killian and Ryu to get closer. Once they were near, Ron's plan would be complete.

"Killer Queen!"

The Killer Queen, who was fighting with Kek, pressed a switch.

"Bang!"

It was a silent explosion, but the shockwave was not weakened, sending Killian flying into the air, crashing into a tree trunk. Yet, he didn't stop there.

"Crack!"

The tree trunk broke, and Killian's body collided with the next tree.

Ryu's eyes widened in shock.

"What's going on?"

"Did Killian explode?"

"Is that the assassin's ability?"

"Or is there someone else?"

Ryu tensed up, warily scanning the surroundings.

At that moment, Killian had completely disintegrated.

His entire body had turned to dust.

On the ground, there was a massive crater.

Ron approached Ryu.

"No need to look around; there's no one else. It's just me."

Ryu stared at Ron, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Because Ryu now realized that only Ron had come.

The one fighting Kek was a Nen Beast.

Kek and Killian couldn't see it, but Ryu could.

Ryu was astonished by Ron's age.

He appeared to be only in his teens.

How could such a person easily bypass the traps she had set up, suffer no injuries, and move up the mountain without making a sound?

One person ambushed three of them and instantly took down Killian.

Kek was also being restrained.

What immense power and ability was this?

Could a mere child possess such strength?

It was simply unscientific!

"Who are you?" Ryu demanded.

"An assassin," Ron replied nonchalantly. "I accepted a task from an assassin commission website to hunt you down."

"However, I misjudged the situation a bit."

Ryu frowned.

"Misjudged? What do you mean?"

"I didn't expect you to be this weak. No, to be precise, I overestimated the difficulty of a one-hundred-million Jenny assassin mission."

Ryu's expression darkened.

Her situation was already so dire, and Ron was still mocking him.

But more importantly, Ryu understood that Ron was speaking the truth.

"Kid, don't think you've won just yet. I'm not like them."

"I know," Ron replied. "You are stronger than the others, at least you possess the ability to condense Nen."

"Come at me."

"This time, I'm a bit disappointed with the assassin commission, so give it your all."

"I hope you can surprise me."

Ryu's eyes flickered for a moment.

One couldn't deny that Ron's attitude was quite frustrating for Ryu.

However, Ryu also realized that this was her opportunity.

"Hmph!"

"Arrogant little brat."

"Do you really think you're invincible?"

"If you attack me directly, my chances of winning would indeed be slim."

"But if you dare give me a chance, I'll seize it!"

"Once you're dead, don't blame me."

"Blame your own arrogance."

"Arrogant, overconfident…"

"What kind of person does that make you as an assassin?"

Ryu scoffed inwardly.

In terms of the assassin profession, Ron's choice at this moment was indeed unwise.

However, Ron wasn't just an ordinary assassin.

Compared to that, Ron felt more like a Nen user.

What Ron truly wanted was not to enhance his assassin skills, take on more tasks, and gain fame in the assassin world.
