Illumi's expression was even calmer than Lan's, or rather, he had no emotional fluctuations at all.
Even if his parents died in front of him, he might not even blink.
He was like an emotionless assassination machine.
Maybe there was basically no one or thing in this world that could move him.
Except… His own younger brother, who he cared about.
"Do you believe me if I say I was just passing by?"
He gave an extremely perfunctory reason.
"You don't have to force yourself to find a reason if you don't know how to find one."
Lan caught the meaning of his words: "No intention to kill does not mean no malice."
"Even if you were just passing by, it's impossible that you were just passing by behind me all these days."
"Can I understand that you were following me?"
Illumi thought for a moment: "Well… This explanation is not wrong."
"So, it was that guy Hisoka who asked you to collect information about me, right?"
Although it was a question, Lan used a positive tone.
"I won't disclose the employer's information."
"You're admitting it in disguise by saying that, right?"
"Really? Maybe."
The look of complete indifference seemed to show that he didn't consider what kind of troubles his actions would bring to Hisoka.
"Aren't you going against the principles of your family?"
"That's based on the fact that you really don't know the information. We won't disclose any employer's information."
Illumi still looked the same: "But it's obvious that when you mentioned Hisoka, you were sure in your heart that it was him who did it. If I deny it, there are only two results: you don't believe it, or you believe it."
"If you don't believe it, then obviously, you have already attributed this snooping to Hisoka, and no matter what I say, it won't shake your mind.
"If you believe what I said, assuming that my employer is not Hisoka, then after excluding Hisoka, you may continue to screen, and it is very likely that the real employer will be screened out."
Illumi said slowly: "Whoever you think it is, that's who it is."
Well, I have to say that, just from the perspective of verbal skills, the IQ and logical thinking, and organizational ability of the Zoldyck family are quite good.
Lan couldn't help but want to applaud him.
"Whether it's Hisoka or not, no matter whether it's him or not, what I want to tell you now is…"
Lan's tone became serious: "I plan to go back."
"And, after that, I don't want to be disturbed anymore."
"I understand." Illumi nodded in understanding: "In Heavens' Arena, I also collected some information about you, which can be used for the commission."
At this point, he took out a small card from his jacket pocket with only a string of numbers on it.
"This is my phone number. If you need assassination, feel free to contact me."
"Finally, as a new customer benefit, I will give you a small reminder."
Illumi made a kind reminder: "For this incident, the Heavens Arena will not let it go."
Although he is a killer, he does not feel uncomfortable with this kind of thing happening to him.
"After all, you took so many billions from them."
"Whether it is to recover the money or to take it out on you, they will definitely take action."
Lan did not care: "Then let them come."
"I know you are not afraid of the power of the Heavens Arena itself, but there is one thing I have to tell you."
Illumi raised his white fingers: "Our family has always had a good cooperative relationship with the Heavens Arena."
He paused and emphasized again: "It is very good."
Lan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Does the Zoldyck family and the Heavens' Arena have a good cooperative relationship?
Although it sounds a bit unexpected if you think about it carefully.
The Heavens Arena and the Zoldyck family are both located in the Republic of Padokea, and the two are neighbors.
When Killua was young, Silva Zoldyck threw him into the Heavens Arena.
As a result, it took two years to fight to the 200th floor before he walked out.
Letting Killua, who is so young, come to the Heavens Arena to train.
Ging prepared very good training conditions and arrangements for his son, Gon.
There is no reason why the Zoldyck family, which has been passed down for so many years, would not do this when training their offspring.
And there are so many fighters coming to the Heavens Arena every year.
There are all kinds of people among them. In these years, there must be strong people who come to smash the place or make trouble.
Once there is a guy that the Heavens Arena cannot solve, of course, they will seek help from the Zoldyck family.
"I guess this time should be no exception."
Illumi's fingers shook lightly: "After they can't find your trace in the Heavens Arena, they should place the order to our house."
"My father and my grandfather have always been in charge of the Heavens Arena business."
"I'm not sure what your strength is, but I think you should have no problem dealing with my father."
"And now the people at the helm of the Heavens Arena are all stubborn."
"If my father can't solve it, they won't give up but will increase the stakes and let my grandfather go with him."
Illumi said lightly: "You have to be careful."
The scene was a little quiet for a while.
"Is that so? Thanks for reminding me."
Lan looked at Illumi, who hadn't left yet and was silent for a moment. Then, he asked cooperatively, "Why did you tell me this? Wouldn't it make me defensive, which would be detrimental to your father and grandfather's commissioned work?"
"They are them; I am me."
Illumi said, as a matter of course: "My father taught me that everything should be based on the event that is beneficial to the commission as the first premise, and everything else can be put aside."
"And I also said that this is a benefit for new customers. They have their customers, and I have mine... Oh, yes, there are important points."
Illumi seemed to remember something important now, and suddenly realized: "If the customer who commissioned us dies, then the order will be automatically terminated."
The scene fell into silence again.
Swoosh!
A gust of cold wind blew by.
"So…"
Lan couldn't help but sigh: "As long as I entrust you to kill the helmsman of the Heavens' Arena, then your father and grandfather won't come to hunt me down, right?"
"Theoretically, that's the case!"
Almost in the next second, Illumi gave an answer: "If my father and grandfather learned of the death of their employer while they were on the way to work, they would stop immediately."
"You just said that the cooperation between your two families is very good."
Lan couldn't help but complain: "As a result, you still induced me to entrust you to assassinate them!"
Well, Illumi's words just now all meant the same thing: [Come and entrust me!]
What new customer benefits, what kind of well-intentioned reminders, all come to take orders for yourself!!
"Cooperation is cooperation, entrustment is entrustment; the two cannot be confused."
Illumi corrected: "And we told them earlier when developing customer relationships."
"You can entrust us to kill others, and others can also entrust us to kill you."
"As long as the price is right, we will accept all orders."
