===========
Illumi finally emphasized: "And I said, my father is my father, I am me, our business and customers are different."
Well, to put it simply, it's a double-edged sword, eating the plaintiff and the defendant…
"You really are dedicated to the commission and business."
Lan was speechless: "And the target was chosen very accurately."
He just got a big sum from the Heavens Arena, and he also made enemies with the Heavens Arena.
It can be said that Illumi grasped the timing very well.
Should we say that he is worthy of the quality of a top killer?
"Can I ask curiously, if it is a commission to assassinate Netero, the president of the Hunter Association, will you accept it?"
"Yes."
Illumi's tone was flat, without any waves: "But we need to talk about the cost of the commission."
"After all, he is the strongest martial artist in the world. His strength and status are here. Even if my grandfather came forward, he could not complete the commission…"
"So we need Maha Zoldyck and Zigg Zoldyck to take action, right?"
"Huh?!"
Hearing these two sensitive names, Illumi's tone changed for the first time. He raised his head and looked directly at Lan: "Do you know them?"
"I have heard of them a little."
Lan smoothed the corner of his clothes that was blown by the cold wind: "Maha Zoldyck, your great-grandfather, the strongest person in the entire Zoldyck family."
"It is said that Netero is the only one who has fought with him and still lives."
"It's just that he's a bit old now, and I'm not sure if he still has the strength he had back then."
"As for Zigg….."
Lan paused: "I remember that he went to explore the Dark continent with Netero and Linnie Horsdoeuvre. I don't know if he's still in your family now."
"I seem to have heard that after he came back from that Dark continent, he seemed to have brought back some life form that didn't belong to this continent."
Lan's mouth slowly rose: "It seems to be called something... Nanika, right?"
Boom!!
Boundless bloodlust surged from Illumi's body, and his waist-length hair behind him was disheveled while flying uncontrollably: "Originally, I thought I had collected enough information about you..."
Illumi murmured: "But now it seems that my understanding of you is just the tip of the iceberg."
The originally lifeless and empty eyes became darker: "I suddenly understand why... Hisoka would have such a strange commission for me."
A nail wrapped with strong Nen suddenly appeared in his hand, and Illumi had already taken a fighting stance.
Or, it was a killing posture.
"Can you tell me how you know all this?"
The nail in his hand was cold and sharp, and Illumi's words did not contain any emotion.
"I remember that our family's cleaning work has always been done very cleanly."
Faced with that monstrous bloodlust, Lan was unmoved.
"I didn't learn about this from your family.
He just chuckled: "In return for the reminders and explanations you gave me, I will also tell you..."
"I'm not from this continent either."
"Take this sentence back to your father and grandfather; they will understand what this means."
He looked at Illumi, who was ready to go at any time: "I suggest that you better not do anything else out of the ordinary."
"First of all, you may not be my opponent. Secondly, think about what the result will be after being asked by Nanika."
"You'd better go back and discuss it with your father and grandfather before making a decision."
"This also includes whether to assassinate me."
In the end, Illumi left without taking any action.
As the eldest son, he knew all too well the impact of the disturbance caused by Nanika in their family.
Many people in their family died because of Nanika's Wish Granting ability.
And each of them was almost twisted into a knot, with a very miserable death.
Until now, Nanika has still been locked up behind the five safe deposit boxes hidden in the mansion.
Each safe deposit box can only be opened after entering a 10-digit password.
Except for Killua, no one in their family regarded her as a real member of their family.
Even if the one who coexists with Nanika is their younger sister, Alluka Zoldyck.
(T/N: Hxh Fandom stated Alluka Zoldyck's gender as female.)
Even his father, Silva Zoldyck, commented on Nanika: "That child is not a human being at all and cannot be viewed with the eyes of a family member. That child is from another continent."
Facing Lan, who claimed that he was not from this continent either, Illumi did not dare to be careless.
As a killer, his vigilance prevented him from acting rashly.
Instead, he quietly left and retreated under Lan's gaze.
Regardless of whether he really came from another continent, it was a big deal for Lan to know about Nanika's situation.
He needed to go back and have a good discussion with his family.
And this was exactly what Lan wanted.
"In this way, their family will not bother me again."
Lan stretched his body slightly, and his main goal was achieved.
As Illumi said, when the Heavens' Arena could not do anything with its own strength.
It would definitely choose to entrust the Zoldyck family.
In this case, Lan would have to face Silva and Zeno.
Although he was not afraid even if it was a one-on-two situation, it was always a troublesome thing to be targeted by these two guys.
Especially by that old fox, Zeno Zoldyck, who is considered a top killer; if he knew a little about Lan's situation, he would never choose to fight him head-to-head.
He will definitely hide in the dark and give him a fatal blow at the most appropriate time.
In this case, he felt bored when he thought that there was such an old fox secretly watching him for flaws.
It would be better to end it all and use Nanika's situation as an excuse to make the Zoldyck family feel wary.
Anyway, he did not lie; he did come from another continent.
It is just different from the Dark Continent imagined by Zeno and others.
The Zoldyck family will never do anything extra before they can figure out the situation.
Their family can be a killer family and still stand in the world without being wiped out.
Naturally, they will have a set of survival concepts belonging to their family.
They will not easily provoke anyone or anything that will cause disaster for the family.
In this way, Lan's side is temporarily safe and undisturbed.
As for the future…
It would take two years before the Kakin Empire would organize people to explore the Dark Continent.
By then, he had already caught up with the main force and headed for that continent.
It can be said that there was basically no threat from the Zoldyck family.
On the contrary, the proposal made by Illumi at the beginning, assassinating the helmsman of the Heavens Arena, which seemed to be a one-time solution…
This was indeed a good proposal, but the price was also high.
The Zoldyck family would need 1 billion Jenny for one move.
Moreover, a person like the helmsman of the Heavens Arena, who has a high status, is difficult to assassinate, has a big influence, and has a cooperative relationship with the Zoldyck family.
At least it would cost two or three times more.
2 to 3 billion Jenny…
