Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 328: Ilmi's Void Search and Void Confrontation

Out of politeness, German had to say a word or two to almost every member of the Zoldyck family present.

Xiaodi, Kurapika, Gon and Leorio stayed quietly in the back.

The first person who spoke to German was, of course, Maha, who was about the same age as President Netero.

He is much shorter and thinner than President Netero, has a chestnut-shaped head, and looks quite kind and amiable.

He asked with a smile about the relationship between Germain and President Netero, and encouraged him with a few words like "The future is yours".

Then, Maha patted the back of German's hand like a normal old man and let him go.

However, German knew that Maha was not a "normal old man". He was still a killer, but he was killing less and less frequently.

In comparison, Geno, the grandson who is "active throughout his career" and "kills one person a day", is much more "diligent".

If it weren't for the appearance of Germain, which disrupted the original future, Maha would have formed a three-person team with Illumi and Kurt, accepted the commission from Kuroro, and assassinated the "Ten Old Men".

No, it should be said that it was a frontal breakthrough and the murder of the "Ten Old Men", but the Zoldyck Family likes to use the name "assassination".

Just like the "Phantom Troupe" used to like to use the name "Thieves Group", in fact, their actions are basically robbery.

Next came Zeno and Silva. As soon as the Chimera Ant subjugation war ended, they invited Germain to visit the Zoldyck family when he was free.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for several months, German had no news, but suddenly came to visit at this time. Both of them smiled, but in their hearts they were thinking about German's intentions.

The father and son looked at each other and thought of Killua and another person at the same time.

Next came Kijo. Her attitude towards Germain was clearly indifferent. Perhaps it was only after Shiba reminded her that she reluctantly put on a polite demeanor and asked a few questions out of concern.

Then came Ilmi.

"I heard that the war in Meteor Street ended in your hands."

Ilmi had her hands on her slender waist, her black hair was disheveled, her pupils were deep and dark, and she seemed to have no life at all.

It's not surprising that he knows about "Meteor Street". The Zoldyck family has close ties with "Meteor Street" and they must have intelligence channels.

But under normal circumstances, the Zoldyck family turns a blind eye to the situation in Meteor City.

Even Ji Qiu, who was born in "Meteor Street", did not take any action when "Meteor Street" was invaded by Zailo's forces, let alone others.

Ilmi found out what happened almost the day after Zailo and Zazan were killed by German.

"You can't really say 'I ended the war,'" German explained. "We just left them leaderless."

"For a long time to come, Meteor Street and the Hunter Association will try to wipe out the remaining demons in that area."

"The war will be completely over only when the last 'demon' is destroyed or controlled."

Ilmi nodded, as if agreeing with Germain's more rigorous statement, and then he said: "Besides, I also know that Kuroro died in your hands."

He looked indifferent and showed no emotion at all over Kuroro's death.

"I want to correct you for the second time," said Germain. "Chrollo committed suicide."

"Those who were stabbed by my 'needle of mind' also 'committed suicide.'" Ilmi told a cold joke, but of course no one laughed at the scene.

"The connection is that Kuroro is just like them, helpless, right?"

"After I knew about Kuroro's death, I guessed that you would come to the Zoldyck family. You are not just here to visit, but also to find Killua, right?"

"After thinking of this, I rushed back immediately, and sure enough, I ran into you today."

However, the fact is that after Illumi learned that Kuroro was forced to commit suicide, he had the vigilance of a killer and felt that his situation was quite bad.

After being "educated" by Zeno and Silva, he roughly understood the current gap in strength between him and Germain.

Given his personality, he really didn't want to get involved with someone like this to hunt him down, so he never attacked Kurapika during the Professional Hunter Exam.

The current situation is that the leader and most of the members of the "Phantom Troupe" have died at the hands of German, a few died at the hands of Hisoka, and only three people are left alive.

He had briefly joined the "Phantom Troupe" and wanted to attack Germain and others, but his plan was ruined by Hisoka in the end.

Although the possibility of Germann taking revenge on him is not very high, it is always safer to stay in the Zoldyck family.

Of course, in this situation, he would not admit that he was a coward in this regard. At the same time, he did firmly believe that Germain came for Killua. Almost a year ago, it was after Germain came into contact with Killua that Killua suddenly injured his mother, ran away from the Zoldyck family, and disappeared without a trace.

Afterwards, Killua disappeared for a long time until Illumi caught him during the Professional Hunter Exam.

At this time, German's disciple Kurapika was acting with Killua openly, while the hunters of the Hunter Association were watching them secretly.

This made Ilmi more confident in his own judgment.

It must have been German, now the "New Rat", who gave the order for Kurapika and the hunters to protect Killua.

For this reason, Illumi, who was habitually suspicious, failed to attack Killua during the entire Hunter Exam, but instead chose the short opportunity after the Hunter Exam was over.

He couldn't help but admire German's meticulousness, as he protected Killua so well throughout the entire Hunter Exam, but unfortunately, he still found a chance.

The people from the Hunter Association let down their guard at the last minute.

Of course, Illumi didn't know that the group of hunters were actually mostly staring at Kurapika, and they noticed the talented Killua and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

When the professional hunter exam was over, Kurapika had successfully obtained his hunter license, so there was naturally no need for the hunters to follow him.

All in all, Ilmi had a "void battle" with German on his own, and he won in the end.

But he didn't think German would give up.

Sure enough, German came to my house today.

In response to Illumi's question, Germain thought about it and simply admitted: "Yes, one of my purposes is indeed to find Killua."

Whether it is Killua's own talent or the relationship between Killua, Alluka, and Nanica, it is worth it for Germann to build a good relationship with Killua.

It would be nice if we could take Killua with us, and then meet Alluka and Nanica in the future to understand their abilities clearly.

When people heard what Germain said, their reactions were mixed.

Maha was still smiling, as if he heard nothing.

Zeno and Silva looked at each other again.

Ji Qiu was obviously a little excited, and his mechanical red eyes were shaking rapidly.

Yilmi showed an expression of as expected, hesitated for a while, curled his lips, and said, "I object."

However, German thought that their conversation had ended long ago. When Illumi hesitated, he ignored him and turned to the last member of the Zoldyck family present.

Kurt is Silva's fifth child and the youngest, but he is dressed like a girl doll. The beauty mole on his chin highlights his cuteness.

Whether it is the fourth son Alluka, or the fifth son Kurt, they both interpret the unique meaning of "having children".

Not to mention Kurt, Alluka clearly identifies himself as a female, and Killua is willing to call him "sister".

In ordinary families, the youngest child is the most favored, but the Zoldyck family is definitely not an ordinary family.

Therefore, the level of attention that Kurt received was far less than that of Killua, who had extraordinary talent and bloodline.

However, Kurt was not jealous of Killua. Instead, he kept an eye on Killua and wanted to do something for his brother, especially now that he was under house arrest.

There is a saying that the entire Zoldyck family is "Killua-con", and there is some truth to it.

However, "Killua fans" are also divided into factions, namely the extremely yandere control faction, led by Kikyu and Illumi.

The second group is the laissez-faire growth group, led by Zeno and Silva.

Finally, there is the neutral protection faction, led by Kurt.

He will decide his inclination depending on the situation. He will side with whichever side he thinks is better for Killua.

Now is the time for him to judge the situation.

He wanted to know what kind of changes German, who had been away for almost a year, would bring to the current situation of the Zoldyck family.

Kurt, who was wearing a kimono, covered the lower half of his face with an open small fan, nodded at Germain, then blinked his big eyes and observed Germain.
