Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth.

After several collisions, he fell onto the road and even damaged a car.

Immediately afterwards, a burly figure descended from the sky like a shooting star.

"boom!"

Another loud bang.

The tall, thin man who fell to the ground reacted quickly, dodging the attack with a few agile leaps.

Where he had been lying, a deep dent had appeared, as if he had been hit by a bomb, leaving a crater.

Kevin stood there, still wearing only his thin pajamas. He slowly pulled his hand out of the pit.

"who are you?"

He was resting peacefully in bed when, for some unknown reason, an uninvited guest enveloped him with their spiritual energy.

As soon as someone else's Nen approached, Kevin's Nen fluctuated instantly, waking him from his sleep.

So he immediately sensed an intruder. Kevin wasn't sure if the intruder was well-intentioned or malicious, but anyone trying to sneak into his room in the dead of night was considered an intruder.

Without a second thought, he threw a powerful punch—a punch using the "hard" technique—like a cannonball, hurtling towards his enemy and sending him flying.

"Not going to say anything, huh?" Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Kevin clenched his fists tightly, ready to fight seriously.

"call out!"

A sharp whooshing sound rang out as several lollipop-shaped needles shot rapidly toward Kevin.

Kevin could clearly see the Nen energy surging on the Nen needle.

He suddenly dodged to the side.

However, these needles seemed to have eyes; they changed direction from his dodge and continued to pursue him.

Seeing this, Kevin stopped dodging and landed on the ground. He gathered more Nen energy in his hands and quickly slapped the Nen needles away one by one.

It has a physical form, is not simply composed of thoughts, is enveloped by thoughts, and can be precisely controlled to change direction...

"Operation Department."

Kevin instantly determined the type of Nen aura possessed by the enemy in front of him.

His face immediately showed extreme vigilance.

He was familiar with the Nen abilities of this type, which was one of the types he personally disliked the most.

The vast majority of Nen abilities that control or even force others to act originate from this category, just as its name suggests—"Manipulation."

Kevin was naturally extremely wary of this ability, which sounded disgusting and repulsive.

If you accidentally fall for their tricks, you'll be in big trouble.

We must finish this quickly!

Chapter Thirty-Three: Illumi X Battle

Illumi stared at the other person.

He came here tonight on his father's orders.

He could have chosen to come during the day and meet Kevin in a more peaceful manner.

This is probably what the elders in the family would want to see.

However, after seeing Kevin and Qi's "intimate" conversation, he felt a strange sense of irritation.

So he ultimately chose to sneak in at night, a seemingly ill-intentioned way of meeting.

He had observed Kevin before, though it was incidental while he was keeping an eye on Qi, but he was very confident in his observation skills.

In his view, while Kevin's physical abilities were not weak, there was still a considerable gap compared to the physical training that the Zoldyck family had undergone since childhood.

If Kevin hadn't mastered Nen, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat even Killua.

Since Kevin has been active below the 200th floor, his Nen is usually only maintained at the most basic [Entangle] state.

Although it mimics the appearance of an ordinary person, a closer look reveals that the energy has not dissipated.

Unless you engage in a face-to-face sparring session with Kevin like Kate did in the past, it's easy to be misled by his basic Nen-based ability to maintain his state.

Illumi really didn't expect this.

As soon as his circle enveloped Kevin, the other party immediately became alert.

[Circle] It's not unusual for someone to notice you when you're trying to gauge their popularity, but the problem is that Kevin was fast asleep at the time.

Generally speaking, only people who have undergone special alertness training can maintain such a sharp reaction while sound asleep.

This contradicts his previous observations.

The battle that followed was even more unexpected.

Kevin's explosive and aggressive Nen abilities are completely at odds with his outward appearance.

Just as Illumi was silently contemplating...

Kevin's Nen energy suddenly erupted again, and a bottle of potion even appeared in his hand, as if he was about to pour it into his mouth.

Seeing this sudden resurgence of Nen, Illumi made a decisive move.

"I surrender." His voice was calm and even, as he slowly raised his hands.

Kevin paused for a moment, then, after taking the potion, his Nen burst forth, propelling him toward Illumi at an even faster speed.

A large amount of Nen energy surged into his right fist, making the attack even more deadly.

"Only when you fall will I admit that it was surrender."

Wow, that was fast.

Even faster than before.

Illumi, who had been trying to dodge, suddenly realized it was too late.

What kind of technique is this?

Is it a sudden burst of extra energy beyond the apparent amount, a Nen ability?

Or was it a deliberate attempt to hide it?

Left with no other choice, he could only concentrate his spiritual energy in his arms and forcefully withstand the heavy punch.

With a loud, impactful sound, Illumi flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a shop's support pillar.

After being knocked back a meter or two, Illumi did not stay where he was. Instead, he quickly got up from the rubble, jumped, and landed on a telephone pole.

During the jump, he flung out several magic needles.

These psychic needles successfully stopped Kevin's next attack, forcing Kevin to stand still and gather his psychic energy to deflect the attacks.

This is no joke. Once hit by these mind needles, you could be controlled, and all the advantages you've worked so hard to build up would vanish in an instant.

Illumi stood on the telephone pole, his back to the moon, looking down at his left arm, which was bent and swollen.

He had a broken bone, but he remained expressionless.

However, he had no intention of continuing this fruitless battle.

That would be a huge loss.

So he said directly, "I am Qi's older brother."

This time, Kevin really stopped, standing still and watching his opponent warily, as well as the extremely malicious Nen needle in the opponent's hand.

The techniques and the feeling the opponent gave off in the previous battle were indeed somewhat similar to Qi's.

They don't look alike at all, even their hair colors are different.

"Since you are Qi's older brother, then why..."

Illumi replied in his emotionless voice, "I'm here to warn you not to teach Nen to Killer. This is a warning from the Zoldyck family."

After saying that, he put away the extremely malicious mind needle in his hand.

Hearing this, Kevin began to believe it.

“Since it’s the Qi family’s request, I naturally won’t offend them without reason.” Kevin agreed, though he had never intended to teach Qi Nen abilities in the first place.

Even though Qi seems to have the intention of learning indirectly.

But he's too young, only 6 years old.

Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, there is no need to continue fighting, and Kevin is not a person who is keen on fighting.

Staying vigilant created an even greater distance.

However, he still said, "I hope you will change your habit of loitering near other people's windows at night. I have plenty of free time during the day, and you are welcome to visit me as usual."

Kevin's words were a polite warning to the other party, and then he took out a bottle of medicine from his pouch and threw it over.

Based on a simple assessment, Illumi held the potion between two Nen needles and stared at Kevin with a calm gaze.

"Consider it compensation for your medical expenses."

Illumi's hand holding the medicine tightened slightly; he rarely showed emotional fluctuations towards anyone other than his target.
