Chapter 81

Old T suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Be careful!"

He raised his voice in caution.

The other three immediately looked over, their pupils contracting as they sensed two powerful auras approaching at great speed.

One came from the east, while the other descended from above.

In this situation, the members of KUTE couldn't possibly assume these individuals were coming to support them.

The only possibility was that they were here to target them.

The man in the suit smiled.

"Today, all of you are dead!"

Old T slapped his hands on the ground, releasing a burst of aura. Trees erupted from the earth, forming a wall to block the approaching Ging Freecss.

At the same time, he manipulated the tree trunks to bend upward, creating a shield to fend off the descending Zoldyck.

But it was useless.

If it had been the Mad Beast before, perhaps Old T could have held them back.

But the people who had arrived this time were completely different from the Mad Beast.

They were on an entirely different level.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the tree wall, Ging Freecss didn't hesitate. He charged straight through.

"Bang!"

With just his body, he smashed right through the wall of trees.

The barrier didn't even slow him down.

In an instant, Ging Freecss stood before Old T, not bothering with flashy moves. He simply gathered aura into his fist and aimed it at Old T's face.

He threw a punch.

"Crack!"

Old T heard the sound of his own facial bones shattering.

The power gap between them was too great.

Whether it was aura capacity, strength, or speed, Ging Freecss completely overwhelmed Old T.

Meanwhile, Zeno Zoldyck, the moment he landed, charged toward Old O.

Zeno Zoldyck had previously fought with Old O. In the commission given by the Elder of Meteor City, there were no specific instructions to kill any particular member of KUTE. So, Zeno, as an assassin, naturally chose the easiest target.

And for Zeno, Old O was the easiest.

First, Zeno was familiar with Old O's abilities, having fought him before. It wasn't just secondhand information.

Secondly, Old O had already lost an arm.

The man in the suit quickly moved aside.

Old O glared darkly at Zeno.

"Zoldycks," he sneered. "It's you again!"

"What did Meteor City offer you? I'll give you double!"

For an assassin, if they received two assignments simultaneously, they would naturally pursue the one with the higher payoff.

The one with the lower payoff would be abandoned.

But now, the mission was already in progress.

Abandoning it at this point to take on another assignment would damage an assassin's reputation.

Zeno would not do such a thing.

And there was one more point.

Zeno was certain that KUTE would die today. How could a dead man pay commission fees?

Would the Zoldycks kill the Elder of Meteor City on behalf of KUTE and then go claim the commission somewhere?

"Dragon Head!"

Zeno launched a high-frequency assault on Old O.

Silva Zoldyck, meanwhile, stood by, watching.

He was waiting for the right moment.

Old O felt deja vu.

He felt like he had seen this scenario somewhere before.

Quickly, Old O remembered.

The last time Zeno and that nen beast attacked him, it was just like this.

Zeno bombarded him with attacks to restrict his movements.

Once the opportunity arose, a lethal blow would be delivered by a Zoldyck from the side.

This scene was identical to the last encounter.

But the difference was that Silva's strength far surpassed that nen beast by a considerable margin.

At this point, Silva was already an A-Class Nen User.

Among A-Class Nen Users, he was by no means weak.

Meanwhile, Hanma Baki was merely a Nen beast of Ron's.

Ron's potential might even surpass Silva's, but he lacked time.

With enough time, Hanma Baki might grow to be stronger than Silva.

Two spheres of aura gathered in Silva's hands.

A faint blue-purple hue emanated from them.

Just looking at them gave off an extremely dangerous feeling.

This was not ordinary aura; it was completely different from Ron's Nen bullets.

Because Silva Zoldyck was a Transmutation-type Nen user, Old O could sense that if he were hit, he would suffer severe injuries.

And in this situation, a severe injury was no different from death.

---

At this moment, Old O desperately hoped someone could come to his aid.

However, both Old T and Old U were being completely suppressed by Ging Freecss.

Even with the two of them joining forces, they couldn't handle Ging Freecss.

Unlike Zeno and Silva, Ging Freecss was not an assassin but a Hunter.

He didn't pursue a one-hundred-percent success rate.

As a result, Ging Freecss's attacks were far more aggressive.

Moreover, Ging Freecss was inherently stronger than both Zeno and Silva.

"Who is this guy?"

"So young, yet so powerful?"

"Could Meteor City really afford to hire someone like him?"

For the first time, the members of KUTE felt a tinge of panic.

Ging Freecss wasn't exactly young at this point, though he wasn't too old either—he was approaching thirty, and his son, Gon, was already over five, nearly six years old.

Yet, outwardly, Ging Freecss appeared quite youthful.

Furthermore, Ging's abilities were mysterious.

Old T and Old U noticed that as Ging fought them, he seemed to be using their own abilities against them.

It felt like he was copying them.

But because Ging was stronger than Old T and Old U, what was the result?

The result was that both Old T and Old U felt as if they were fighting a more powerful version of themselves.

They had absolutely no chance of winning.

"Now's the moment!"

Zeno's voice rang out.

Silva leapt into the air.

The two spheres of aura in his hands were hurled toward Zeno and Old O's position with great force. At the last second, Zeno shifted away.

But Old O's movements were restricted by Zeno's Dragon Head technique.

"Boom!"

With a tremendous crash, the ground collapsed under the massive impact.

A giant crater appeared.

Without waiting for the dust to settle, Zeno charged back in.

"Slash!"

A streak of red flashed across the sky.

"Bang!"

Old O's body was sent flying.

He was tossed into the air, spinning backwards a dozen meters before finally landing.

As soon as he hit the ground, Old O struggled to get up.

But he no longer had the strength.

First, he had been battered by Zeno's relentless attacks, then Silva's strike had inflicted severe injuries. Before he could even begin to recover, Zeno's onslaught came upon him again.

Old O felt as though he had endured a brutal, merciless thrashing.

His entire body was covered in injuries.

The Zoldycks' attacks were highly precise.

They all targeted his vital points.

"Urgh!"

Old O spat out a mouthful of blood.

A figure appeared behind him.

"Wait!"

"Crack!"

Zeno twisted Old O's neck, ending his life for good.

"Mission complete!"

On the other side, Silva pulled out his phone and dialled the Meteor City Elder's number.

"The mission is complete."

The Elder, upon receiving the call, was elated.

"Are all members of KUTE dead?"
