Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

Because Zane and his companions entered through the Trial Gate, Sanmao did not launch an attack.

Even so, Sanmao's emotionless gaze and the icy aura emanating from him made Leorio and the others swallow hard.

Especially Xiao Jie.

He has always been close to wild animals.

But this time, he couldn't sense any emotion from Sanmao.

Or rather, all he could feel from Sanmao was suffocating oppression.

will die!

The thought flashed through Xiao Jie's mind.

His instincts told him that if he were targeted by the monster hound in front of him, he would surely die.

Fortunately, Sanmao did not attack them until they passed by.

This made Xiao Jie and his two companions involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.

"No one objected? It seems my demonstration was effective."

As they walked, Zane and his companions encountered no obstacles until the Zoldyck family's mansion gradually came into view.

Compared to his experience in the original storyline, Zain was quite satisfied.

That's more like it.

Concealing one's skills by appearing clumsy is certainly a tactic, but so is showing off one's strength.

Different approaches are needed when dealing with different people.

"kindness?"

After passing through the forest, Zane and his companions stopped in front of the Zoldyck family's mansion.

A number of people were already waiting in front of the mansion.

Welcome!

Leading the group in front of the mansion was none other than Silva, the current head of the Zoldyck family!

Behind him on either side were Zeno, Kikkuri, Milluki, and Kurt.

"You're too kind!"

Zain glanced at the group and nodded slightly in response.

Both sides were sizing each other up.

Kurapika and Leorio are curious about what Killua's family is like.

Zeno and the others, on the other hand, got to know Killua's so-called friends.

Well... everyone else is fine, but Kikyo is clearly very reluctant to come.

As Killua's mother, she, like Illumi, has a twisted desire to control Killua.

If Zane hadn't pushed open seven trial gates, she would have already sent people to drive him away halfway.

Both sides had their own agendas, but on the surface, they appeared to be getting along well.

The opening of the Seven Trials Gate allowed Zane to become a distinguished guest of Zoldyck.

After a brief introduction, under Silva's guidance, the group entered the mansion, where a lavish banquet was even arranged.

During the meal, Xiao Jie clearly wasn't in the mood to eat.

"Um...when can I see Killua?" Gon couldn't help but ask Silva of Mount Main.

"I've already sent someone over; Killua should be here soon," Silva said slowly, pausing for a moment before glancing at Gon.

"Darling..." Kijou couldn't help but want to speak as well.

But before she could finish speaking, a cold look from Silba made her shut her mouth immediately.

"Young man, I heard you recently participated in the Hunter Exam, so you must have seen Netero, right?" Zeno wiped his mouth and looked at Zane.

Of the group, only Zain was someone he was truly willing to talk to.

"Yes, Chairman Netero is still going strong despite his age. During the test, he even played a unique game with me, Gon, and Killua," Zane said with a smile.

"Oh? That sounds interesting." Zeno became interested.

Zane gave a brief explanation.

"Killua is so arrogant. Netero was like that when I was a kid, and he still wants to attack him."

Upon hearing that Killua had kicked Netero's foot in an attempt to steal the ball, only to end up limping in pain, Zeno immediately burst out laughing.

Serves you right!

"My brother is so cute!"

Milluki, the second son of the Zoldyck family, and Killua, the fifth son, were also listening attentively, and then different thoughts flashed through their minds.

Especially Miki, who made no attempt to hide his gloating expression.

"Second brother, what are you thinking about that silly smile?"

Suddenly, a teasing voice rang out, followed by a figure walking into the restaurant.

"Killua!!!"

"Killua, what did you say, brat?"

Upon seeing the newcomers, Xiao Jie and his two companions stood up in delight to greet them.

Mi Ji glared angrily and left.

"Gon, Kurapika, Leorio!" Killua greeted the three of them with the same cheerfulness, ignoring Milluki.

Then he looked at Zain, who was sitting in his seat, smiling and nodding at him.

Killua smiled and gave Zane a thumbs up.

He learned about the situation from Wutong after being released from prison.

He knew very well that the fact that Zain and his family were being treated well by their families was entirely due to Zain's own hard work and ability.

After exchanging pleasantries, Killua also took his seat.

He showed no signs of the frustration he had felt from his recent imprisonment and beating by Milluki. He ate his food and chatted and laughed with Zane and the others quite naturally.

This scene elicited varying expressions from the Zoldyck family members.

Silva and Zeno seemed to be deep in thought.

Kikyo bit her handkerchief, her face filled with anger and sadness.

Milluki wolfed down Killua's favorite dish as if venting his frustration.

Kurt was lost in thought.

"Head of the Silva family, to be honest, besides visiting Killua, we also came to invite him out for some fun. What do you mean by that...?"

After chatting for a while, Zain got down to business and turned his attention to Silva, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Killua, what are you thinking?" Silva asked calmly, without giving a direct answer.

Killua noticed Gon looking at him expectantly, took a deep breath, and solemnly said, "I want to go out!"

"Killua, stop being so temperamental!" Kikyo slammed his fist on the table, unable to contain himself any longer.

"Kikyu, don't be rude in front of the guests." Zeno frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry, Dad!" Kijuh trembled and quickly sat down.

Shiba gazed at his son.

Facing his gaze, Killua did not look away, but instead met Silva's gaze with unwavering determination.

"I understand. Then you can go out and have some fun for a while!" After a moment, Silva nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.

Kiju looked at her husband in disbelief.

You agreed?

What were you thinking, my dear? How could you let Killua run around like that?

Putting aside the dangers, what if they go astray outside?

Kikyo was anxious, but she dared not interrupt.

"Thank you, Dad!" Killua was actually quite nervous, but when he found out that his dad had actually agreed, he was overjoyed and quickly stood up to thank him.

Silva gave a rare, slight smile.

Killua, you'll only understand your true nature once you get out of here.

Illumi's Nen needles were ultimately just a trial.

Only when you realize your killer nature will you become a qualified family heir.

The thought in his mind made Silva momentarily dazed, perhaps because he was thinking of his past self.

..........

The Zoldyck family tradition is undoubtedly that the head of the family holds absolute control.

With Silva's consent, the following day, after resting for a night, Zane and the others walked out of the trial gate with Killua.

"Gon, Leorio, Kurapika, Killua, I'll be leaving now." Zane stopped and said goodbye to the four of them.

Xiao Jie and the others looked at Zane in surprise.
