__________ POV Kikyo Zoldyck __________
I don't understand why my Dear Husband is making such a big deal about this person's arrival. But I've never seen him panic to that extent.
When the guard at the gate contacted him he just started pacing around the room, thinking of things. He also called for Zeno to come to him, whilst sending me to greet the man at the door.
Is this man perhaps a big client of ours? No, I would've known about him if he was one...
Now that I can see this man I somewhat understand my husband's strange behaviour. His appearance is quite intimidating.
It's hard to discern whether or not he is a Nen user, but he should at least be someone in a position of power by the way he carries himself.
Usually, clients don't come to meet us in our home. But this person might be a bit different. When checking the cameras he was also not afraid of Mike, our guard dog, at all.
He is also not all affected at all by the fact that he is currently in the home of the most infamous assassination family... I guess he is either strong, or he is courageous.
Still, I don't think he's deserving of such a reaction... Well, I won't question my husband's judgement.
I will treat this as professionally as possible. Well, I'll try to anyway, unfortunately, not everyone in the family has the same ideas.
As Milluki also decided to appear in the same hallway. And he was also carrying one of his toys with him... Oh lord.
__________ POV Ashton __________
Well, everything looks fine enough, the house looks clean and the walls are beautifully decorated.
Whilst walking, another door swung open, and a barely dressed fat teen came rushing out. He also had a strange human-sized doll in his hand.
"Mom! Why is Father calling all of us?!?" I mean, I'm standing right here, I always thought assassins were supposed to have some awareness...
I could see the lady guiding me pinch the bridge of her nose in annoyance. I'm assuming she's the mom? So Little Silva landed a hottie?
But why would his son end up like this? Being fat is ok and all, but the doll he is holding is a bit more than a toy...
I don't even want to think what he's been doing with it.
"Milluki... Would you please make yourself presentable? We are currently entertaining a guest." Oh wow, this lady hides her anger better than I can.
As expected of the Zoldyck family. No one in this household is normal... Well, they sure stand out in different ways though.
"What?! I thought that was just a new servant or something..." Oh wow. Well, I guess their servants are always well dressed. Some confusion might happen.
Oh, who am I kidding? If he wasn't Zigg's great-grandson I'd rip his fat head off and mount it on a spike.
"Stop being disrespectful Milluki! Go back to your room already! And take the disgusting doll away from our guest." Well, I guess her patience has its limits.
And so does mine, thankfully he scurried away when his mom flared up. He almost dropped his doll too.
Silva was always a handsome kid. How did that come out of him? Most of the Zoldycks I've seen have been relatively good looking.
This family has always had a lot of luck with the Gene Pool Roulette, it's disturbing to see such a drastic change from their usual appearances.
"I apologise for the inconvenience. I hope that misunderstanding doesn't affect our future cooperation." She said with a perfect bow.
"Oh, you are being way too courteous, this is merely a family visit. I am a friend, of sorts, with Silva, Zeno and Maha." I said in a calming tone.
It's a bit nice to meet someone this polite in what is technically a den of assassins. I didn't want to inconvenience her too much.
"I see... Well then, I won't delay you any further. Let's continue walking for now." From her tone, I can tell that she didn't quite believe me.
And I don't blame her. A random middle-aged man just shows up and says he's friends with three different generations of your family. Doesn't really sound that well does it?.
Well, she'll be forced to accept that when I meet up with Silva, even if I aged up a bit he will still recognize me. Same for Zeno.
Although, I don't know if Maha still remembers me... I wonder if he reattached his arm or not.
Well, it wasn't exactly a clean-cut, I did blow it up, but a proficient Nen doctor with a specialised Hatsu could still reattach it.
Eventually, the lady of the house brought me to a large lobby, the people I wanted to meet were already waiting for me.
Zeno's eyes widened a bit. He's the only one that had seen me unchanged before the Ant incident.
"What happened? Why did you come here?" Asked Maha, his tone wasn't hostile in any way, but he wasn't exactly welcoming either.
"Well, good to see you three are just as I remember." Them being on guard is exactly what I expected.
"Little Silva! Look at how big you've grown up! I remember you being a little Zoldyck-ling when you tried to stab my heart out." Teasing them is a bit fun.
I can see that Zeno and Maha already realised I didn't have any bad intentions. They both just sighed and rubbed their foreheads.
I could hear a gasp from behind me. I looked back to see the previous fatty looking horrified. I guess he's heard me act familiar with the senior members of his family and it scared him a bit.
"Well... You also look older than what Father described you as." Silva looked at me strangely as he also relaxed a bit.
"Quite a few things happened. Why don't we all sit down for some tea? It's a bit of a story to tell." I said with a genuinely kind smile.
I don't really need to fake emotions when dealing with Zigg's folk.
