Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Then, Kido's slightly helpless voice came:

“I know you don’t have money. I won’t charge you interest on this debt, and I won’t press you for it. But if you can’t come up with the money when I ask for it back, be prepared to work for me.”

"Yes! I'll return it, don't worry, teacher!"

Diya solemnly gave a military salute to the air, casually setting a flag, and then hurriedly asked:

"There's one more thing. I was developing a new ability, but I tried it today and it still feels a bit lacking. I'll call back tonight and ask you to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Qi Duo immediately felt as if her useless graduate students, unable to complete their research projects, were seeking her guidance.

Doesn't this kid know they're competitors now?!

Qi Duo narrowed her eyes, her tone unfriendly:

"Dia...you mean, you lent me a billion to find partners to compete with me, and now you want me to guide you in developing your abilities so you can cause me trouble in the upcoming election?"

Upon hearing this, even the remarkably composed Silva couldn't help but glance at Dia.

He suddenly became curious and wanted to know how Diya would answer.

However, Dia, who was being stared at by everyone, showed no embarrassment and said calmly:

"Yes what's the matter?"

"..."

Qiduo's feelings became complicated in an instant, and she suddenly began to wonder if there was something wrong with her.

Is this really a reasonable thing to do?

“...Dia…”

After a long silence, Qi Duo's hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone:

You will definitely succeed!

With your thick skin, I, your teacher, am ashamed to admit my inferiority.

"?"

A question mark appeared above Dia's head. What nonsense was Qiduo spouting?

Of course he knew he would succeed!

"Teacher, how did you know I went to see Mrs. Yorkshire?"

Seeing that Qiduo didn't speak, Dia shamelessly took it as a yes and immediately moved on to the next question.

Logically speaking, it should be impossible for Kido to know his whereabouts.

And the fact that he came to see Mr. Yorkshire was something Mrs. Yorkshire specifically instructed her not to tell her, so it couldn't have been Mrs. Yorkshire who let it slip.

It was quite strange that Nakita suddenly called.

"..."

A slightly helpless voice rang out:

"My mother sent you some things to the Hunter Association headquarters."

"If you hadn't gone to see her, why would she have sent you those [seeds] for no reason?"

Keedo knew very well that the source of those seeds was that Mrs. Yorkshire had materialized them using her own abilities.

Keep in mind that she is Mrs. Yorkshire's own daughter, yet she has never received such a gift!

Thinking of this, Qiduo couldn't help but grind her teeth, feeling an urge to bite something.

Diya is a rebellious daughter, and even her mother doesn't help her!

seed?

Dia stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

It seems to be Mrs. Yorkshire's payment to him, but she probably thought he had already returned to the Hunter Association, so she sent it to Roy City.

But who would have thought that not only did he not go back, but he also found an excuse to sneak into the Zoldyck family's house.

The information gap and the time difference led to his whereabouts being exposed.

I understand now. You learn from your mistakes.

This mistake can be learned and applied to the next one!

"Then teacher, could you keep this for me? I'll come find you again when we meet in three days."

"Remember to show up on time! If you miss the deadline and there's no notarized partner, you'll be disqualified!"

Qiduo solemnly reminded her, and Dia agreed repeatedly before immediately hanging up the phone.

"Phew... Master, you flatter me."

Diya let out a long breath and calmly put down her phone.

'You're the one who's making a fool of yourself...'

Killua covered his head, suppressing his strong urge to make sarcastic remarks.

In his eyes, Dia's image is rapidly sliding towards a comedic role...

Actually, Dia isn't usually like this; she only feels relaxed when she's with familiar people like Qiduo.

“Then Mr. Silva, it’s settled then. We’ll depart in three days.”

Dia asked Ya for the Zoldyck family's account from Yamazane, who was standing next to her, and transferred the 1 billion Jenny deposit to them.

"Well, you can stay here for the next few days. Killua will be relying on your guidance."

Silva said calmly:

"However, I must remind you of one thing: according to the rules of the Zoldyck family, if the client dies before the mission is completed, the mission will be automatically abandoned."

"So Mr. Dia can prioritize protecting himself and doesn't need to worry about my safety."

Dia smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.

Without the time-stopping effect, Silva's raw strength is definitely much higher than his, so there's no need for him to worry about it.

Chapter 184 Preparations for Departure × Qi Duo's Collaborator

The stars and moon hang high in the sky, fireflies dot the darkness.

"As the saying goes, 'Practice hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer.' The temperature is exactly minus nineteen degrees now, which is the perfect time for training, Killua."

On Mount Kukuro, which is more than 3,000 feet above sea level, a strange downpour was washing over a huge rock.

While spouting nonsense, Dia continued to develop new abilities.

Swish!

Killua, wearing only shorts, gritted his teeth and punched in the freezing rain at -19 degrees Celsius.

The force of the punch tore through the rain curtain, splashing up large sprays of water.

Hearing Dia's words, he couldn't help but shout:

"What are you talking about? I've never heard of such a thing before. If this keeps up, I'm really going to die!"

Killua underwent extensive resistance training from a young age, which naturally included training to withstand the cold.

But the problem is that the current temperature, coupled with the incessant freezing rain, makes it an environment that normal people can no longer survive in!

In such an environment, an ordinary person would lose their temperature in just fifteen minutes, be on the verge of death in thirty minutes, and be beyond saving in an hour.

Even someone as physically strong as Killua couldn't train continuously in this environment.

"Don't worry, you won't die."

Dia ignored Killua's listless barking.

He left behind ripples within the other's body, which would keep Killua's body temperature at its limit, preventing him from suffering hypothermia and thus eliminating the risk of death.

Aside from being a bit torturous, it's guaranteed to be safe.

"Are you sure this will allow you to cultivate that 'mind'? I heard from Miki that he's never practiced it this way before."

Killua questioned loudly again and threw a punch in Dia's direction.

The force of the punch once again stirred up water, splashing towards the thoughtful Dia.

Dia casually waved her hand, stirring up a gust of wind that sent Killua staggering, and said:

"If you continue to be distracted, then practicing for another hundred years won't help!"

Damn it...

Killua gritted his teeth and threw another punch, his mind filled with the sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

This is the third midnight that Dia has been at the Zoldyck family's house. Tomorrow, he will set off with Silva to the notary office that the Hunter Association has arranged for them to carry out the next phase of their mission.

After the banquet ended the day before yesterday, Killua couldn't wait to ask about special abilities.

Silva hadn't left yet at that time, and while Dia was explaining the basic concepts of Nen to Killua, she also asked Silva why he hadn't taught Killua Nen.

"Because he has much more to learn than others, learning Nen first would make him dependent on Nen and crowd out the learning of other skills."

That's what Shiba said.

So although he didn't say it explicitly, he was against teaching Killua Nen abilities.

But Dia had already promised to teach Killua, and she couldn't go back on her word.

So after a brief discussion, Dia, along with Killua and Silva, made a pact—

Dia won't force Killua to learn Nen; instead, she'll use the traditional method of gradual learning, letting him learn little by little.

During this period, Killua had to learn most of the essential assassin skills at twice the normal pace.

Killua's opinion on this agreement, which had finally managed to balance the opinions of both sides, was naturally—to refuse!

Of course, his refusal was meaningless. With the united front of Silva and Dia, his schedule for the next year was already packed.

After a brief period of united front, Dia also naturally became familiar with Silva and started calling him "Brother Silva".
