Chapter 49

"Since that's the case, let me show you my true strength!"

Ryu manifested two fists in front of her.

These were also materialized.

Ryu charged at Ron.

Unable to determine which Ron was real, Ryu just charged at one randomly. She knew that since Ron wouldn't let her leave, he would definitely block her.

As expected, Ron stood in front of Ryu.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided.

At that moment, Ryu suddenly grinned.

Suddenly, the injured fist guards Ryu was wearing disappeared in an instant.

Ryu's fist was now exposed.

However, it looked significantly different from before.

Now, Ryu's fist was swollen, and instead of the normal human skin color, it was purple.

The purple was intense.

A deep shade of black.

When Ryu's fist made contact with Ron's fist, she shouted, "Kid!"

"I'm not a materialization type of Nen user!"

"My true ability is this!"

"Poison Hand!"

"My hand has a potent poison."

"Even a beast weighing several tons would die within moments after being poisoned by me."

"What if you're strong?"

"What if you're talented?"

"Don't be too arrogant!"

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself."

"I've already given you a chance!"

"You're asking for death!"

"What a pity, such great talent, and you're going to die at my hands."

Ryu displayed a smug smile.

Ron looked at his palm and then at Ryu.

A figure appeared next to Ron.

Killer Queen handed him the scissors.

Ron used the scissors to cut the point of contact between his fist and Ryu's.

"Puff!"

A small wound appeared.

Ron squeezed it.

A burst of black blood splattered out.

Then, Ron moved his wrist.

"This poison is indeed quite strong; I might need to rest for a few minutes."

"Killer Queen, I leave the upcoming battle to you."

Ron stepped back a few paces.

Killer Queen charged at Ryu fiercely.

Ryu heard Ron's words and displayed an incredulous expression.

"Kid, don't brag!"

"In a moment, you'll be dead!"

However, after a few minutes, Ron was still doing quite well.

He showed no signs of being affected.

In fact, the traces of poison on Ron's hand were almost gone.

"How is this possible?"

At that moment, Ryu realized that Ron wasn't lying.

This left Ryu even more confused.

"Why?"

She knew her abilities well.

Ryu was fully aware of how strong her Poison Hand was; countless people had died from it, including powerful Nen users.

No living flesh could withstand it.

Killer Queen's onslaught grew increasingly fierce.

After Ron suppressed the poison in his hand, he channeled more aura into Killer Queen.

As a Nen Beast, the more aura she had, the stronger she naturally became.

Ryu was now suppressed.

At this moment, Ryu's mind was in disarray.

On one hand, she was baffled by Ron's lack of reaction to the poison, and on the other hand, she faced Killer Queen's fierce assault.

"Bang!"

Killer Queen's punch landed squarely on Ryu's chest.

"Crack!"

Ryu's sternum shattered.

It caved in directly.

Unsteady on her feet, Ryu staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

However, not falling this time didn't mean that Ryu had regained even a fraction of her strength.

Killer Queen launched her second wave of attacks.

This time, Ryu wasn't so lucky.

"Thud!"

Her entire body crashed to the ground.

Killer Queen leapt high into the air.

"Bang!"

Both knees slammed into Ryu's body.

Ryu sank deep into the dirt.

"Puff!"

A large mouthful of blood spewed out.

Ron stepped forward.

Ryu's vision was becoming blurry, and she felt all her strength draining away.

Images floated through Ryu's mind.

"I remember now."

"That technique, only those from the legendary first assassin family can perform it."

"The Zoldyck Family!"

"You're a member of the Zoldyck Family?"

Ryu strained to look at Ron with all her might.

"Ron Zoldyck."

Hearing Ron's name, a look of relief spread across Ryu's face.

"So that's it!"

"Turns out you're from the Zoldyck Family."

"No wonder."

"I, Ryu, have been an assassin for so many years, killing countless people. To die at the hands of a Zoldyck, I can say my life is complete…"

Before she could finish, Ryu's breath stopped.

Her life force was extinguished.

Ron tidied up and submitted the information to his employer.

After that, he took the items and left.

These items were what Ron had searched from Ryu and the others.

Ron didn't know if Zeno and the others had a habit of searching corpses, but he thought that if he didn't search, wouldn't that be a waste?

"I didn't expect these death row inmates to have accumulated so much money so soon after leaving prison."

Before long, the payment for the assassination mission was transferred to Ron's anonymous account.

Ron quickly calculated.

The total payment for this mission was 500 million Jeni.

He had previously accumulated over 100 million Jeni.

He paid Milluk a portion of the money, and then he went to various places to hunt down death row inmates, spending quite a bit in the process.

However, he also obtained a significant amount from searching the corpses of the death row inmates.

"Now, the money in my account has reached 800 million Jeni."

"Only 200 million Jeni left to reach 1 billion Jeni."

"Based on the difficulty of this assassination mission, 200 million Jeni is basically no challenge for me."

Ron arrived at a nearby city and checked into a hotel.

He took out the laptop from Killer Queen's body.

He opened it.

Logging into the assassination task website.

He began searching one by one.

This time, Ron chose tasks targeting a single individual worth over 300 million Jeni and less than 5 individuals.

Ryu and the other five were still not strong enough for Ron.

One of Ron's purposes for coming out was to earn money.

But that wasn't Ron's only goal.

Ron wanted to engage in some real combat.
