The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

So suspicious! These two!

Kusuo Saiki adjusted his hat, pulled Milluki along, grabbed the shopping bag containing all the desserts on Milluki's side, and instantly teleported away!

The two people vanished instantly?

As if to say that they were hiding something, Kuroro and Chrollo quickly arrived at the door, only to find that the dessert packaging on the chair had been eaten and was now empty, and the four puddings that had been placed next to Saiki Kusuo but had not been taken away in time.

At the hotel, Kusuo Saiki desperately wanted to go back the moment he realized Pudding wasn't there.

It's really not a big deal if they're found out at Youkexin, is it? The whole family is at Youkexin, so adding two more people wouldn't make a difference, would it?

Kusuo Saiki used his clairvoyance to look back at his pudding.

"The shopkeeper said the last six puddings were bought by a very tall, squinty-eyed fat man. What do you think, Captain?" Shalnark asked Kuroro.

"They're still eating dessert. They don't seem like people trained by the mafia. They might be here to follow us and sell information. Let's check if the photos of our movements have been posted on the intelligence network."

The knight immediately went back and logged into the website using his hunter's certificate.

Having witnessed everything, Kusuo Saiki quickly wrote down two photos of the two sitting in a coffee shop and posted them on the Hunter Information Network.

He made a fortune of 60 million in an instant.

Kuroro is worth 40 million, while the Swordsman is only worth 20 million.

This money came a bit too fast. Even the Phantom Troupe has its moments when photos are valuable.

The reason why the price is so high now is because the gang has been increasing the bounties on Phantom Troupe members, especially the leader, in order to ensure the smooth running of the auction.

Kusuo Saiki and Milluki slowly finished the remaining dessert. Thinking that he would probably be busy tonight, Kusuo Saiki handed his phone to Milluki and went straight to take a nap.

Milluki knew who the Swordsman was. He was an unofficial senior technician who had been working for the past six months. Every qualified Zoldyck was good at negotiation and transactions. Milluki, who was familiar with mobile phone-related business, communicated with the Swordsman smoothly.

Kusuo Saiki slept until 6 p.m., when it was already getting dark outside. Milluki handed the completed Killua ID card to Kusuo Saiki.

Even with a thousand opinions, Miki will still be a good kid who does things obediently.

However, the minimum transaction price for this kind of ID card forgery business is only two million, right? Mi Ji, don't be so ruthless to your own brother.

Kusuo Saiki accepted the ID card. Despite just waking up, his mind was unusually clear. He first used his Clairvoyance to confirm that Uvogin was safe. Then he used Clairvoyance to look for Gon and Killua. Well, the two children were already alone in a room with Nobunaga.

They were arrested by the Phantom Troupe, but Nobunaga liked Gon, who has Enhancement abilities, and wanted to recommend him to join the Troupe, so now the three of them are alone in a room.

As long as the two children don't resist, everything will be fine; you can rest assured.

"He asked for the most basic manual labor fee of 200 million, four mobile phones, and then the knight-errant had to write some basic software as payment, as well as some derivatives..." Miji's pupils shifted slightly.

Kusuo Saiki: I guarantee that you're the only one in the entire Zoldyck universe who uses these features.

Well, whatever, as long as Milluki likes it, and he's already got 200 million.

Saiki Kusuo stood up, straightened his appearance, and put on a black suit jacket. It was unclear where Milluki's sense of formality came from, or perhaps it was because there were so many people wearing suits around that Milluki decided to order a suit for the two of them as well.

After getting dressed, Kusuo Saiki used Instant Transmission.

Then he arrived at the hotel where Kurapika was currently staying...

Wait, how did I end up on the roof?

Kusuo Saiki was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, my superpowers are still a little unstable, but that doesn't matter."

Kusuo Saiki turned to look down.

Previously, when I was following Kurapika, I was discovered because I could hear his thoughts through melodies. Now, in this hotel, with so many people and so much noise, the heartbeats of psychics are not special at all, and even their beating speed is the average human heartbeat.

Kusuo Saiki slowly descended the stairs.

Inside the building, Kurapika went into the private bathroom and took out his phone to make a call.

"What a coincidence! Are you going to call Hisoka and then chat privately?" Seeing that the person in the next room wasn't there, Saiki Kusuo teleported into the room to listen to the sounds.

"Pyro... How is everyone's training in the power of Nen going?"

"Don't worry, Kurapika." A cheerful and upbeat voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by a lot of background noise.

—Is that Kurapika?

—Tell him that Ito has learned Nen!

—Pop-Poo can now knock down a big tree with one punch, and we used that tree to build a library…

Clearly, it was quite lively on the other end of the phone.

Kurapika listened to the noisy sounds, but a rare smile appeared on his face, and he completely relaxed.

Chapter 82 Friend Xin Nion

Kurapika composed himself: "Alright, I'm relieved to know that everyone has made progress."

"Hehe, we're great, Kurapika, when are you coming back?" On the other end of the line, Piro got the phone again.

"It won't be long. I'm fine, everything is going smoothly."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Kurapika looked down, the chain in his hand tapping at his fingertips.

"Kurapika... don't bear all of this alone..."

"Don't worry, Pello, I'm very calm..."

Kurapika's chains began to sway, clearly indicating a lack of composure, and his eye color shifted between black and red several times.

Kusuo Saiki saw the scene Kurapika experienced again through his inner voice. The spider was like a giant invasion to him, bringing him deep fear. It was destroying everything and taking lives without caring about the people it took. It only let people go because "the leader" said he wanted to see living eyes.

What a terrifying, arbitrary existence.

What a capricious and unpunishable villain he is.

But Kurapika's chains loosened again, and he remembered his kin; many smiling faces appeared before him.

Those things lost forever could not be recovered from the fire. After burying those who had died in the accident, the remaining survivors carried with them the remaining intact belongings of their tribe and set off across mountains and valleys in search of a new habitable place. The journey was not smooth. They faced countless difficulties: they had to stay away from people and had lost their stable food source. To avoid being discovered by anyone, they searched deep in the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, the tribe has elders who can fight wild beasts. When their eyes are red, their strength increases significantly, which helps protect the tribe.

This reminded Kurapika of the invaders, who were also invulnerable to weapons. For many years afterward, Kurapika searched for this power, and finally, by chance, learned of the existence of Nen during his journey to become a Hunter.

All members of the Kuruta tribe can safely activate their abilities while in a red-eyed state.

In the six months between the end of the Hunter Exam and Yorknew City, Kurapika returned to his clan as soon as he learned Nen, teaching this power to the radicals who wanted to form a protective village on its outskirts. Meanwhile, deep in the forest, there were children, the elderly, and the peaceful, conservatives who were unwilling to learn Nen.

If the people outside have died, they have already hidden themselves away to avoid the invaders.

That way, I won't lose the most important person to me so suddenly, like I did back then...

"Kurapika, Kurapika! Want to come too? I'm quite proficient with my Nen abilities now," Pyro said on the other end of the phone.

"No!" Kurapika finally came to his senses and refused to blurt it out.

“Pyro, the Phantom Troupe is not as simple as you think…”

Kusuo Saiki: It seems it's not as simple as you think.

Well, if any reader were to time travel, they would all suggest that you kill Uvogin to prevent future troubles, or kill him and run away without ever looking back.

“I’ve heard of the existence of death thoughts, and given that we… I don’t want to kill anyone, so I chose to use the two-way constraint. That way, if the other party dies, I won’t bear the death thoughts. Pyro, my constraint is so strict, yet it’s still incredibly difficult to deal with the spider. I’m afraid I can’t use it on too many people. I’ll only do it once or twice, and then I’ll stop and go back.”

Kurapika thought to himself.

Is the target still Kuroro? It overlaps with the original storyline again.

But this time, even without Gon and Killua as hostages, Kurapika didn't seem to intend to kill anyone. Only after breaking free from the constraints of the manga and thinking things through did Kusuo Saiki realize a key point.

Kurapika now has countless hopes supporting him as he faces the deaths of his people.

His closest relatives were among the dead members of his clan, which is why he sought revenge here. This desire for revenge was probably also driven by a strong sense of justice, which is why he wanted the Phantom Troupe to disappear.

He's still a positive kid who wants to become a hunter, so why would he set the Phantom Troupe as his lifelong goal?

Now that he has completed his mission of disbanding the Phantom Troupe, he can set off for a wider world.

Kusuo Saiki then learned from his inner voice that Kurapika was still going to meet Hisoka, but he didn't intend to follow. Kurapika wouldn't kill any more members of the Phantom Troupe; there was nothing left for him to help.

He left much more leisurely, without using teleportation again. Just then, Melody and Neon walked by, and Kusuo Saiki overheard them heading to a large shopping mall, and also overheard Neon's little thoughts.

As expected, Neon will likely escape from the mall on her own, only to be encountered by Chrollo and have her powers stolen.

In the original story, Chrollo confirmed Uvogin's death through Neon's precognitive abilities and held a massacre in his memory, carrying out indiscriminate massacres near the auction.

Kusuo Saiki walked down the street, lost in thought. Undercurrents were stirring in the night at Yokohama, and many people around him were focused on the auction; they were all agents sent by certain gang leaders.

The concentration of gangsters here is extremely high.

Kusuo Saiki did not take responsibility for the possible massacre that might occur in the near future.

There are three hours left until Uvogin's resurrection. If Uvogin decides to appear, the Phantom Troupe may stop, and things will return to the natural course of events before he was affected. If Uvogin does not appear, the Phantom Troupe may carry out a massacre, which is also the original plot in the manga.

Just like a meteorite that is destined to fall somewhere in the world and bring disaster, this is all predetermined by others. Saiki Kusuo will only take action if it affects himself and those around him.

Of course, Kusuo Saiki also needs to intervene, just a little bit.

He was responsible for Uvogin's petrification, so at least ensure that Uvogin's memorial service will not begin until after Uvogin's resurrection.

If Uvogin is resurrected in three hours, Neon could escape the mall on her own within an hour at most. So, can Chrollo... take Neon's powers within two hours?

Need I say more? His ability is set up so that everything happens within an hour! He's the number one master of deceiving people about time!

He needs to buy some time.

Kusuo Saiki turned around and followed her into the large shopping mall. He used his telepathy to track Neon's location and then went to the clothing section on the fifth floor.

Since we're already here, let's change our clothes.

虽然身为揍敌客家的孩子他有一柜子的衣服，爱给孩子打扮的妈妈准备了非常多衣服塞在孩子们的衣柜里，以至于到这个猎人世界以来还从没自己挑选过，奇犽跟小杰呆在一起可是天天有的衣服换。

Kusuo Saiki also wanted some ordinary, common clothes, instead of the designer or custom-made ones provided by the Zoldyck family.

"Welcome, young sir, this way please!" The sales staff in the store all had sharp eyes, and they noticed the unusual suit worn by Saiki Kusuo when he entered the store.

This store is geared towards affordable prices, but it also carries high-end clothing. The salesperson immediately tried to lead Saiki Kusuo to the upscale section.

"Okay, okay, sir, are you buying this for a friend?"

"I can recommend a few of the latest and most popular styles this season. My nephew is eighteen this year, about your height, and he was the center of attention among his classmates when he wore them..."

How could I possibly buy so many? Should I buy the goods myself?

From the saleswoman's words, Kusuo Saiki learned what the so-called nephew looked like: large front teeth, obese, and at least twenty-five years old, though his clothes did fit him well.
