"Such bloodlust..."
Above the airship, Satotz, Menchi, and others' faces suddenly changed.
This was a strong bloodlust that made them all feel palpitating!!
"Are there still such people among the applicants this year?!"
They were all in doubt and immediately stood up and took action.
"Is it that Lan?!"
Although she wanted to cook the other party, under this terrifying bloodlust, Menchi thought of Lan for the first time.
It seems that he is the only candidate this year who has such strength in the group.
Menchi still recognized Lan's strength.
"No, it's not him!"
Almost at the same time, Buhara and Satotz denied it together.
"This is not Hisoka either…"
They had felt Hisoka's bloodlust before.
This is a brand new bloodlust that they have never experienced before.
"If this bloodlust is released from these qualified applicants, it means that the quality of this year's applicants is really not ordinary."
Satotz and Buhara kept rushing down.
"But if it's an outsider lurking in with bad intentions…"
Menchi followed up with a sentence: "Then I feel more relieved."
"In addition to us examiners and applicants, there is also Chairman Netero on this airship!!"
Inside the tea restaurant.
Everyone gave more or less different reactions to the bloodlust released by Illumi.
But if you ask who has the strongest reaction…
"I, Illumi..."
Killua hugged his arms with both hands, and his pupils were almost blurred and black and white.
He was shaking all over, and a lot of sweat flowed down his forehead.
He trembled as he said the name.
No one was more familiar with this bloodlust than him.
No one was more impressed and affected by this bloodlust than him.
That was a childhood nightmare; the fear was like torture.
"How could Illumi be here?!"
Killua subconsciously looked in the direction where the bloodlust was coming from.
Then…
He saw Lan sitting alone at a table, smiling and waving at him.
"Was it Lan who released it?!"
Killua gradually regained his composure as a killer.
"Did he Hatsu release the bloodlust? Why did he do that? And it was so similar to Illumi's bloodlust?!!"
Killua, at this moment, was like a student with a hundred thousand questions.
He was eager to know the answers to all this.
But…
"This farce should also end."
The Chairman of the Hunter Association, Netero, who looked like a fairy, had already come to the scene.
"Although the disputes and fights between applicants were not originally something we examiners should intervene in."
"But this candidate No. 111 was eliminated during the second round."
"No matter what the reason is, since she has been eliminated, she can't stay on this airship any longer."
As Netero finished speaking, several association staff members in black suits also came and took Anita down directly.
"Chairman!!"
Satotz and others who came hurriedly also greeted Netero.
"Well, it seems that you all feel it."
Netero nodded at several people and then looked at Lan, who was sitting there watching the show: "Can you explain to us what just happened?"
He looked at Lan and chuckled: "As a bystander, you must know what happened just now, right?"
"Ah, I saw it all."
Lan nodded directly: "She determined that he was the murderer of her father, so she wanted to kill him."
Succinct and to the point, one sentence directly pointed out.
"We all know this..." Netero put his hands into his sleeves: "You know what I want to ask."
"Yeah."
Lan nodded again: "But the questions you want to ask, don't you have the answers in your mind?"
Illumi used his real name when he signed up; there is no reason for the Chairman not to know.
Hmm... Netero glanced at Killua, who was already in a bit of a bad state. After thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better not to cause any more trouble. After all, there are many unreasonable people in the Zoldyck Family.
"Then let's stop here." He stroked his beard and made the following judgment.
Anita, who failed to take revenge, looked sad. And just when she was about to be taken away.
"Aeryndor Mountain, I've heard of this name."
Lan said: "The earrings you are wearing should be made from the crystal of the Aeryndor Mountain, right?"
Anita, who was walking past Lan, paused and looked at him.
The black-clad staff next to her wanted to take it away, but Netero shook his head slightly at them and stood aside.
"This refined Aeryndor Mountain crystal ore is addictive. As long as you taste it once, you will basically become addicted to it and then collapse."
"There are many people out there who have lost their fortunes to buy Aeryndor Mountain crystal ore."
Lan said slowly.
"You are lying to me!!"
Anita's face turned pale.
She didn't believe that her father, who had always loved her so much, was doing this kind of thing outside!
"This is the truth."
Lan continued: "I think everyone here has heard about this kind of thing."
People present, such as Satotz, Leorio, and Kurapika, all nodded.
They had indeed heard about it.
Seeing this scene, the last bit of luck and hope in Anita's heart was shattered.
"My father is a kind and gentle person."
Anita closed her eyes painfully: "The people around him always smile."
Lan: "So your happiness is built on those unfortunate people."
"But to me, he is still an irreplaceable father!"
She tightly grasped the earrings made of Aeryndor Mountain crystal ore left by her father.
That was the only relic her father left her.
"But the funny thing is that your father caused so many people to lose their families, but the reason he was assassinated was not for revenge but for the huge profits of Aeryndor Mountain crystal ore."
Lan shook his head: "Since you don't have enough power to protect such wealth, it is inevitable that you will have such a result if you are targeted by others."
Although the words are cruel, they are the facts in this society of jungle law.
"Lan, how do you know that the assassination of Anita's father was for profit, not revenge?"
Gon, who had been listening beside him, played the role of the supporting actor to the fullest.
"Because the mastermind who hired the assassins of the Zoldyck Family to assassinate her father was killed by me."
Lan said lightly.
"Huh?!"
Many people at the scene looked at him sideways.
Even Anita raised her head and looked at Lan in disbelief.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this for justice."
Lan waved his hand at everyone: "It's just that the mastermind knew that he couldn't keep such a property without enough strength after the assassination was successful."
"He went to recruit powerful subordinates."
"And when he was recruiting, he happened to run into me, and there was a little conflict in the middle, and then…"
