Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

The thug turned his head, and the sight before him made his eyes widen in disbelief.

"Impossible! You actually managed to withstand it with your body!"

The thug's Nen ability is called "Dancing Arms," ​​which can enhance his hands in every way, including strength, speed, agility, and control, and can even enhance the weapons he holds.

He may not know that this is "Zhou," but he has already mastered this trick based on his own needs.

However, his confident strike landed on Kevin's arm as if it had struck a solid metal wall, leaving him completely unmoved.

They even produced a metallic sound.

Kevin swung his right arm, and the weapon enhanced by [Zhou] shattered into several pieces, scattering across the ground.

"A buff type, huh?"

As Kevin spoke, he suddenly threw his left fist forward.

Seeing this, the thug hurriedly used the blade of his knife in his left hand to block in front of him.

His Nen ability has indeed enhanced his hands considerably, allowing him to react instantly in such situations.

He had a strong premonition that if he couldn't block this punch, he might never have another chance.

Another thunderous roar followed.

The blade could not withstand the weight and broke.

The shattered blade, due to the powerful impact, pierced into the thug's body along with the fist.

His entire chest caved in instantly.

The thug was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground and then sliding out of a long ditch.

Bloodstains were visible on the ditch.

Clearly, even though he blocked the attack, he did not escape unscathed.

"Whoa!"

A sharp whooshing sound came from beside him. Even without looking in that direction, Kevin quickly crouched down thanks to his keen senses, easily dodging the incoming attack.

Two throwing knives grazed past his ears, one of them nearly grazing his cheek. Fortunately, the hexagonal protective layer formed by his Nen aura on his cheek worked, and the knife struck it with a crisp sound, causing no harm.

Faced with such an attack, Kevin dodged it, then caught one of the throwing knives and flung it back without hesitation.

"call out!"

Another sharp whooshing sound rang out as the flying knife streaked through the air, leaving a dazzling silver trail.

"boom!"

The throwing knife, like an armor-piercing bullet, slammed into a large tree, blasting a fist-sized crater in the trunk.

The tip of the throwing knife had already protruded from the other side.

The hooded man, who had narrowly escaped the attack, was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Damn it, what kind of monster are you?!"

He couldn't help but roar loudly, his previous leisurely and self-satisfied demeanor completely gone, leaving only a heart full of fear.

Suddenly, the hooded man swung his arms forcefully a few times in Kevin's direction, then turned and ran without hesitation.

Several more throwing knives were flung out, each one firmly wrapped in Nen energy.

But for Kevin, these were just a smokescreen.

The real danger lies in the invisible mental projectiles hidden around the throwing knives.

This is a way of releasing Nen abilities by throwing a dagger, concealing a deadly attack within.

And this fatal attack was launched in the direction the dagger was dodging.

Kevin saw this from the very beginning.

"Monster, he's a monster!" the hooded man screamed inwardly, his fear driving him to strain his legs desperately, trying to escape this horrible place at all costs.

The reason the three of them traveled together was because their strengths could complement each other.

The thug may appear thin, but he is actually extremely strong and agile when using weapons.

It can effectively restrain the opponent, and even if it cannot win by much, it can still hold them off.

The bandaged man leading the group can control the bandages on his body. Those bandages, which look like they can be torn at any moment, are actually incredibly strong and play a key role in assisting and controlling the fight.

Furthermore, the bandage's attack power is flexible and varied, and its strength is considerable.

As for the hooded man himself, he is skilled at accurately throwing knives and air blasts from a distance, which can both harass the enemy and find the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.

They've tried this tactic many times and it's always worked.

However, today they encountered a monster powerful enough to crush them.

The thug might not have seen what happened, but the hooded man clearly witnessed Kevin punch the man in bandages and bandages flying together.

Judging from his condition, the man with bandages probably won't be able to get up anytime soon.

Even the thug with the strongest close-combat skills was powerless against Kevin, and was sent flying in just two or three moves.

This was an overwhelming force, something he could not possibly contend with.

Therefore, the hooded man did not hesitate to run away, trying his best to save his life.

He did all that because he wanted enough money to enjoy life, not to lose his life here.

"call out!"

The sound of something cutting through the air came from behind them again.

"How could this be? Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The hooded man screamed inwardly, trying to control his body to dodge, but fear and panic caused him to completely lose control of his body. At this moment, all he wanted to do was run forward.

The words I had once heard from my hunter father came to mind.

"When facing a ferocious beast, turning your back and fleeing means certain death."

A sharp pain shot through my back.

It turned out that the dagger he had thrown had now deeply embedded itself in his back, with even the hilt digging in quite a bit.

With a muffled thud, the hooded man collapsed to the ground.

Blurred vision and physical weakness.

Footsteps came from behind.

Kevin slowly walked towards him and squatted down in front of him.

"I'm a fairly kind person, but I won't show any mercy to people like you."

Okay, now close your eyes obediently. Remember not to do this kind of thing in your next life. Of all the things you could learn, why did you have to become a gangster's thug?

After saying that, Kevin dragged the hooded man back to the battlefield.

He arranged the three bodies side by side, searched through them, and found the cell phone on the man with bandages.

"Where are the car keys? I hope I didn't leave them in the car." Kevin thought to himself, he would need these guys' cars to get to the airport later.

He picked up his phone, quickly browsed through it, and found the information he wanted from the recent call history.

After a moment's thought, Kevin edited a text message and sent it out.

Hehe, I've come to find you.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Fear X Dismemberment

Inside the ward.

Wright listened to his subordinates' report.

"That man took care of those three guys with ease, without even getting hurt."

Compared to him, the three guys were like children, completely powerless to fight back.

The gangsters who reported the incident broke out in a cold sweat just recalling the scene.

He had been observing from a distance through binoculars and witnessed almost the entire battle.

The speed was too fast, the methods too violent; it was a pure display of power.

This made him realize that the reason he survived that day after taking a punch from the other party was entirely because the other party had shown mercy.

Compared to that, hitting him felt like flicking his head.

After listening to his subordinate's report, Wright wanted to light a cigarette, but his hands kept shaking, so he had to give up.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the panic in his heart.

He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear; he had actually walked right up to the brink of death.

If he hadn't remembered that prophetic poem, and if he had acted like his men, prioritizing loyalty over personal gain, he certainly wouldn't have had a chance to climb the ranks, even if he hadn't died.

Looking back now, it was all a stroke of luck.

Soon, he thought of his daughter's abilities and the immense power of these people.

Are these two the same thing? What kind of power is this? He couldn't find the answer for the time being.

But he is now very glad he made that choice, forging a friendship with such a powerful person through prophecy.

……

Kevin has boarded the airship bound for South Cha City.

It must be said that the airship industry in this world is quite developed, almost comparable to that of trains.

However, the speed of airships is really not impressive. The only advantage they have over trains is that they are more convenient and can reach more destinations.

Kevin thought of Salo again.

Although he didn't have much of an impression of this guy, being targeted by someone like this was like having a fly next to him, which was very annoying.

However, since I had an agreement with Mituo, I could only deal with this guy after I met with him.

For Kevin, obtaining information about Salo was not difficult.

In a previous email from Yun Gu, he mentioned an intelligence organization called the "Thousand Ears Society," which specializes in transactions between Nen users.

Services include, but are not limited to, providing intelligence, tracking targets, accepting commissions, and acting as a broker.

It's said that many hunters also take on quests here. For a little money, you can definitely track Salo's real-time movements.

Kevin also obtained the information about those three people through this place.

Meanwhile, Salo, who was being nagged by Kevin, was sweating profusely as he looked at the text message he received on his phone.

The phone didn't belong to him; it was given to him by his subordinates.

He had just received news that all the powerful individuals he had hired at great expense were dead. Judging from the scene, they had all been killed in one blow, clearly having been completely overwhelmed by the enemy.

It seems that Kevin has indeed gained enough power to easily break free from his control, and is now even trying to take his life.

"No, I have to get out of here right away and go home, yes, home." Salo made up her mind and hurriedly began to act.

After all, his family was one of the Ten Elders' families. Even if he lost face going back, it was better than losing his life here.

This is not a difficult choice.

……

A few days later, Kevin arrived in South Chase.

This is indeed a city of moderate size. Looking around, you can hardly see any buildings that are more than ten stories high; instead, it is densely packed with all kinds of low-rise houses.

The city is almost entirely surrounded by mountains and forests, and is rich in natural resources.

Throughout the city, people dressed in traditional costumes can be seen everywhere, and on the outskirts of the city, there are also large gatherings with tents.

"This place is really remote." Kevin couldn't help but sigh as he got off the airship. Even the airport seemed very small, with only three airships scattered around.

He found a hotel, but the conditions were not satisfactory.

"Let's take advantage of this time to continue researching how to eliminate resentment."

Kevin has been studying the resentment attached to his Nen ability, "A Moment's Dream," in an attempt to control and eliminate it.
