The door, which had been slightly open, quietly closed and locked on its own. Kurapika, who had been listening silently for most of the conversation, was furious but also felt a small sense of relief.
After searching for so many years without any leads, today he finally got some information about the Scarlet Eyes.
When Kurapika looked up, he saw Germain standing against the wall. Germain had heard everything.
"Teacher, tomorrow night, I want to try and reclaim the Scarlet Eyes of my clan. Do you… support me in this?"
Kurapika didn't act impulsively. Instead, he calmed down a bit and asked for Germain's advice.
Germain stared at Kurapika. If Kurapika wasn't wearing colored contact lenses, his eyes would have surely turned red by now, right?
"I thought you would rush out recklessly and try to force the other side to tell you where the Scarlet Eyes are."
Kurapika paused, then replied honestly, "To be fair, if it were the old me, I would've rushed out in anger."
"But I'm not the same now. By using 'Gyo,' I noticed there are three Nen users in their group. And with 'Zetsu,' I was able to suppress my bloodlust so they wouldn't detect me."
"I have to admit that right now, I'm no match for all three of them."
This was true. Kurapika's current level was between beginner and advanced, while the three Nen users were already experts.
He might be able to handle one of them, but facing all three would be too much.
If Kurapika, with his extraordinary talent, had just a few more months, the situation would be different. He wouldn't necessarily be at a disadvantage against those three.
Germain nodded and pointed in the direction the group had left.
"I know a bit about this group. They're from the Nostrade family, one of many under the Ten Dons. The girl just now was Neon, the daughter of the Nostrade family."
"In fact, there aren't just three Nen users in their group. There are four."
Kurapika looked surprised, then watched as Germain moved away from the wall and headed back into the living room. Kurapika had no choice but to follow him.
Since Germain had brought up information about the Nostrade family, it was clear—he supported him, Kurapika thought.
Germain sat down on the sofa, leaning back comfortably.
"The captain of the guards, Dalzollene - the man in the black coat and the one who looks like an ape are both Nen users skilled in both attack and defense."
"I only know about the ape-like man's ability. He can release the technique called 'Eleven Black Children,' which creates eleven Nen beasts to serve as his guards. As for the other two, I don't know what their abilities are."
"In addition, Neon Nostrade herself is a Nen user. But she's self-taught and doesn't fully understand Nen. She just uses it as a natural gift."
Kurapika finally understood.
Germain had mentioned before that in this world, many people possess certain talents and abilities. For example, some people can run extremely fast, jump incredible heights, or survive being struck by lightning multiple times.
These people are actually Nen users too, but most of them awaken their abilities under special circumstances and don't even know why they have them. Some of them think it's a gift from the gods.
It seemed that this spoiled girl, Neon, was just like them.
"Her ability is a Specialization Type ability called 'Lovely Ghostwriter.' It allows her to predict major events that will happen in the next month through prophetic poems."
Kurapika was shocked and clenched his fists. He trusted Germain's words and recognized just how powerful Neon's Nen ability was.
"So, is it impossible for us to attack her or those around her? If she can predict the future, wouldn't she already know our plans and actions?"
Germain shook his head.
"Kurapika, there's no need to be so tense. Her Nen ability isn't that terrifying. She can only predict the future for people with a specific birthday and blood type, and she can't predict her own future."
Kurapika was surprised by Germain's response, but it still sent chills down his spine.
He thought about it for a while before coming to a conclusion.
"It's because of 'Vows and Limitations,' isn't it?"
"Exactly. Since she can't predict her own future, her ability has always been meant to serve others. Even if we wanted to rush in and kill her right now, she wouldn't be able to see it coming."
"That's why her father, Light, has placed three Nen users and a dozen guards around her."
"If she could foresee her own future, she'd be able to avoid most direct threats to her life."
"This kind of Nen ability is terrifying. And the power of 'Vows and Limitations' makes it even scarier. It's no wonder things are the way they are now."
