The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

Kusuo Saiki decisively refused, as playing with Alluka was his top priority; money wasn't that important to him.

"You can bring that child along. Now that the child passed the Hunter Exam, he can recite it, right?"

You know too much.

"Oh, I see. So if traveling and training are your main reasons for leaving home... Qi Mu, have you heard of Greed Island?"

Kusuo Saiki paused slightly.

Greed Island? Is the plot moving this fast? It's only been a few months and Kuroro already knows that Greed Island is where the exorcists are.

"It's a real game that only works for Nen users, and I can't get in right now. Greed Island's physical location is directly east of Yorknew City. I've tried to go there, but the people guarding the island sent me back to the center of the mainland."

I never knew you had suffered multiple fractures throughout your body.

Kuroro guessed something from Saiki Kusuo's expression and explained, "The other party used a card to expel me from the country; it's like teleportation in the game."

Oh. I know that.

I know many of the cards from Greed Island, and I've even played some of them.

“Although I haven’t gotten the game console yet, once I do, I’ll need someone to help me find an exorcist. Could you please help me then? With your telepathic abilities, it should be very convenient,” Kuroro said, and then quickly added to pique Saiki Kusuo’s interest, “According to the original intention of this game, that child should also be able to improve his Nen abilities within the game.”

Let Alluka go in and play? That sounds like a good idea. I won't have to search the whole world for interesting things to broaden his horizons.

Moreover, Killua is in there too, so Alluka would definitely be happy to go.

"Of course we robbed it," Kuroro said matter-of-factly, his eyes clear.

Is this something an ordinary person can still manage to snag?

"If all else fails, we'll have to buy it. The knight deliberately dropped his bank card on the ground. It's the savings card the troupe has used to exchange money in their spare time over the years." Kuroro pulled a black card out of his pocket.

This looks familiar; it seems like both Illumi and Hisoka have one.

This would require at least tens of billions in deposits.

"I don't know the exact amount, but it's over 100 billion."

"The things our group targets always belong to people with substantial savings. We can easily rob them and before we know it, we've accumulated this much. We don't usually need it, but now that we're buying a game console, we hope it will come in handy."

In a slum like Meteor City, someone actually came up with a sum of money comparable to a portion of the Zoldyck family fortune. The Zoldyck family fortune was divided equally among all living Zoldyck family members, but that was about the amount.

Kuroro shook the card, seemingly lost in thought, wondering what Saiki Kusuo was thinking about.

"You can give me a price as payment for helping me find an exorcist; some items that are only easily obtained by travel groups are also acceptable."

Kusuo Saiki was already quite tempted.

He suddenly realized that if he left, the debts of the companies under his name might become real debts.

However, if Chrollo had that kind of money, he could pay off the debts to his family, which would be considered as repaying some of the debts owed to them for raising him. The businesses would only bring stable profits to the Zoldyck family in the long run.

In a corner near the entrance to the forest, Kusuo Saiki placed his wheelchair on the ground.

Kuroro adjusted the direction of his wheelchair, and then, surprisingly, carefully stood up from the wheelchair by stepping on the stone steps.

Is this even a foothold? If it twists again, it's none of my business.

"Don't worry, the plaster is quite hard, and I've already rested for two days."

A broken bone or tendon takes a hundred days to heal; no matter how fast you try...

“Nen is life energy, and it exists as long as a person is alive. My Nen didn’t disappear, but was forcibly put into a state of Absolute, and Absolute itself can help the body recover faster,” Kuroro said, while carefully rotating his ankle.

What nonsense are you spouting?

Kuroro, however, didn't seem to care much about the stinging sensation. After getting used to it a little, he stood up straight and looked at Saiki Kusuo at eye level.

At 1.77 meters tall, he was just a little taller than Kusuo Saiki.

They even went out of their way to step onto one of the steps.

Kuroro began to reminisce, and then recited like a poet: "Enjoy this intermission, or go find new friends."

"When you set off, head east, and you will surely meet someone waiting for you."

"This is the last part of my prophetic poem for Youke Xinshi. Although you still can't be our partner, I think that the meaning of a new partner also means working together. You just happened to receive my mission, and I just happened to issue the mission. There are so many coincidences in this that it seems like the arrangement of fate."

Don't let me hear you say things like "the red thread of fate."

"I have felt that the fall into the well two days ago was very strange."

...I don't know either, it must be fate's arrangement.

"But it is precisely because of that time I fell into the well that I need to hire people to complete the mountain climb today."

Why must we climb the mountain? Let's find a place to rest instead.

"Now I feel even more strongly that I must entrust this task to you. Can I ask you for this? I'll offer whatever reward I can."

Kusuo Saiki spoke fluently without hesitation.

This was the amount of khatkin he had just heard from Kuroro's inner voice.

Not too much, not too little, just enough to pay off the debt and have some left over.

Kuroro paused for a moment, but quickly said, "Okay."

That's a whopping 128 billion, Kuroro Lucilfer!

"The mission is to ensure my safety, find an exorcist for me, and help me complete the exorcism deal until I regain my Nen abilities. How about it?"

Kusuo Saiki keenly noticed the extra expenses.

Be a little greedier.

“No problem.” Kuroro didn’t hesitate for a moment, nor did he worry about how much money the exorcist would charge.

Kusuo Saiki knew it; as expected.

Money is really just a pile of paper to the Phantom Troupe.

Kusuo Saiki deliberately omitted the illusion technique.

Now, if the invincible Naniga were to perform a single ritual, it would directly show all the Zoldycks what the easiest money in the world is.

However, that won't work.

It's not that he's stuck and can't complete the one-year limit in a short time, but rather that, considering all aspects, Kusuo Saiki won't easily let someone like Chrollo know about Alluka's wish-granting ability. He's decided to follow the original storyline and let whoever is supposed to remove Nen from him be the one to do it.

Kusuo Saiki couldn't possibly handle the huge deal with the Phantom Troupe secretly. He took out his phone and messaged Zipanian directly, asking him to draft the contract.

"This is the bank card."

"It's hard not to expose yourself, isn't it? Your inner thoughts and stuff. I believe you have professional ethics." Kuroro even threw the card directly to Saiki Kusuo.

What do I need the card for?

"Ah! It's my brother! I found him!" Alluka's voice suddenly came from behind.

I did not participate in the hide-and-seek game.

However, Kusuo Saiki welcomed Alluka over.

But before he could say anything to Allukado, Zivanian, who was far away in Zoldyck, called back.

Kusuo Saiki answered the call.

"Young Master Nanxiong, how are you feeling?"

Even though it was just a phone call, Kusuo Saiki could perfectly picture Zipanian's kind face in his mind.

"I received Young Master Nanxiong's message. Is it confirmed to be 1,280 billion yen?"

Well, besides drafting a contract, should we sign a waiver of liability or something similar?

It's a huge sum of money, after all. Although superpowered individuals can get whatever they want, this amount of money is still a significant amount.

Thinking about it carefully, there are really too many.

“Young Master Kusuo is truly remarkable, but the Zoldyck family doesn’t usually offer such prices. The order amount must be equal to the value of the mission. Young Master Kusuo, the head of the family has many questions about this order. Would it be convenient for you to come home?”

After Zi Po Nian finished speaking, Qi Mu Nanxiong hung up the phone.

They're truly a model of integrity in the industry; charging more would be against their family motto.

They actually asked him to go home now? It was Ziponian who said that everyone already knows teleportation has no distance limit.

Kusuo Saiki hesitated. Alluka clearly didn't want to go home, so who should he entrust his younger brother to for the time being?

He turned and glanced at Kuroro. No, this cripple is in dire straits himself.

If it's only for a few minutes, it should be fine, right?

There are many people here now, so it's relatively safe. There won't be any kidnappers. Alluka is already a child who can read.

Alluka glanced at Kuroro standing to the side, and her understanding was: Brother Kusuo asked me to help take care of the patient!

"Okay!" Alluka's eyes were resolute as she received this important mission.

Never mind, the misunderstanding won't matter.

Kusuo Saiki then introduced Kuroro:

Kusuo Saiki teleported home through the grove, a brief and unexplained introduction. Chrollo pondered if there was any hidden meaning behind it, perhaps...

If Alluka gets into trouble, Saiki will definitely not be able to stay out of it when he returns.

In the room filled with small computer screens, Silva, Zivanian, Illumi, and Milluki were all present.

Kusuo Saiki: I thought I would only see Silva and Ziponen when I came back, but it's such a coincidence that they are both at home.

"Brother! Did you mistype the numbers? This is outrageous!" Mi Ji shouted.

There's no such basic mistake. Didn't the message say that the other party was the leader of the Phantom Troupe?

"Didn't Chrollo run out of Nen? Although the mission is to find an exorcist, will the reward be paid?" This was Illumi; he only cared about whether the reward could be paid, not about the high price that Saiki Kusuo had negotiated.

That's his skill.

Kusuo Saiki gave the card to Illumi, and he already knew the password from his inner voice. If he had any conscience, he could have just transferred the money here.
