Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 329: Killua at the most critical moment

It was not a good idea to stand and chat outside the mansion, so the Zoldyck family members welcomed German, Xiaodi and others into the gate and sat them down in the spacious and bright reception room.

During this time, Maha went back to his room to rest, saying that "I want to sleep more as I'm old", and then he put his hands behind his back and walked away slowly.

They looked like the older generation who carry bird cages and walk around after retirement.

However, based on the Zoldyck family members' understanding of this relatively Buddhist eldest member, he probably just doesn't want to take care of the follow-up matters.

He is different from Netero. Since he has already handed over the position of head of the Zoldyck family long ago, he will never interfere, let alone do everything himself.

Let go when it’s time to let go. Otherwise, the younger generation will always be suppressed, dare not make decisions, and be afraid of failure, and they will definitely not grow.

After Wutong brought tea and pastries to everyone, he adjusted his thin-rimmed glasses and left, making the excuse that he had some unfinished business.

In fact, he listened to a conversation in front of the mansion gate and realized that there might be some parts of the conversation that happened next that he, as a butler, should not listen to, so he left tactfully.

It’s a pity that he didn’t have the chance to see how the subsequent developments would be first hand.

Whether Master Killua's freedom is still in the hands of Master Illumi or someone else depends on the results later.

As the current head of the family, Shiba sat at the top seat. Although Zeno was the elder, he sat on his left, and Ji Qiu sat on his right.

He now asked about the people other than German, asking who they were and what their purpose was.

German first introduced Xiaodi and Kurapika, explaining that they came here to visit with him, and then talked about Gon and Leorio.

Gon and Leorio quickly straightened their backs, not wanting to show weakness in front of Killua's family.

Silva actually knows about Gon and Leorio.

After all, they have been living in Jiburong's residence for twenty days. It is impossible for Jiburong not to report the situation, and Wutong will naturally convey the news.

But they basically didn't care, and they didn't expect that Gon and Leorio could actually open the "Gate of the Underworld".

However, Silva still pretended to be unfamiliar and surprised at this time, and gave a friendly smile to Gon and Leorio.

"So you are Killua's friends, and you came here specially to look for him... As Killua's father, I want to thank you for taking care of Killua before this."

Gon and Leorio both had illusions for a moment.

It turns out that Killua's father is so kind to others. I guess the only ones who have been preventing them from meeting Killua are Illumi and that fierce Gotoku.

Shiba, good man!
Ilmi, Wutong, bad guys!

This is their simple judgment.

It seemed as they expected. Shiba turned his head with a smile and looked at Kurt not far away.

"Kurt, go and call Killua over. Tell him that his friends Kurapika, Gon, and Leorio are here to see him, and ask him to come over."

Kurt, with his black doll-like hair, stood up from his chair and bowed respectfully.

"Yes, Father."

He stepped out of the house in his wooden clogs with his head down, and then left with hurried footsteps making a clattering sound.

Wearing a western hat and a heavy long skirt, Ji Qiu noticed that something seemed to be wrong, and the red dot on her mechanical eye began to shake excitedly.

"Dad, what are you...what are you going to do? This is Killua's 'most critical moment', and Illumi had a hard time persuading him to come back!"

"But you let him come out at this time...this...then all this time will be wasted?! I absolutely don't agree!"

Ji Qiu did not directly curse out the words "bad friends" that he was thinking of, which was very restrained.

Shiba, with his long silver hair, remained calm in the face of his wife's questioning.

"Killua was grounded because he hurt you and Miki and left without saying goodbye. I think this punishment is enough."

"Any additional confinement is just a waste of time."

The hunched Zeno rubbed his mustache.

"I think so too. It's almost the same now."

“Father-in-law, Dad, you…you…why are you all like this?!” Ji Qiu was so surprised to see that the father and son were united in their actions that he almost stood up.

But she didn't get up in the end, but she couldn't help but reach out to touch the bandages wrapped around her face.

The wound on her face was caused by Killua, which completely disfigured her and she had to wear a bandage before she could see anyone.

However, Kikyu did not have any resentment towards Killua. Instead, he felt relieved that Killua could be so cruel to his own biological mother.

This is the Killua she wanted to see. Killua will definitely become the most outstanding killer and the most capable head of the Zoldyck family in the future.

Why can't my father-in-law and dad understand? This is clearly a critical period for Killua's transformation, but letting him come into contact with these people will only do him harm and no good!

Killua is obviously a good boy, but these people have corrupted him!
The more Ji Qiu thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but glare at everyone fiercely, and the red dot in his mechanical eye suddenly enlarged.

Now Gon and Leorio can confirm that the one who opposes and obstructs their meeting with Killua is also Killua's mother.

After hearing what Silva said, they understood why Killua was under house arrest, and vaguely felt that it seemed reasonable.

When they heard that Silva was willing to lift Killua's house arrest, they were pleasantly surprised and began to trust Silva even more.

German just watched Gon and Leorio in silence. In just a quarter of an hour, Silva got everything he wanted to know out of him.

He didn't say anything to stop it. What was there to stop? He might as well chat with Xiaodi next to him about the delicious pastries of the Zoldyck family.

German could see that although Xiaodi had a blank expression on her face, she was eating happily, stuffing pieces of food into her mouth like a squirrel.

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and then two figures rushed in.

The one in the front is Killua with his silver hair, and the one behind is Kurt who is chasing him closely while holding the hem of his kimono.

Following Silva's order, Kurt came to the torture room, stopped the villain who was torturing Killua himself in revenge on Killua, and explained his purpose.

While the chubby Miki was shouting in confusion, Killua, after hearing what had happened, happily broke free from his restraints and jumped onto the cold floor barefoot.

The restraints here were just decorations for him. He was willing to accept the punishment, so he never broke free.

"Mi Ji, since dad called me, I'll go first. I'm really reflecting on myself, so don't be angry. Hahaha..."

Killua waved proudly to Miki, and called on Kurt to leave the torture room together.

Mi Ji stayed in the torture room, furious, and threw the whip on the ground angrily.

He is the only one in the Zoldyck family who likes Killua less. This time, because Killua hurt him and their mother when he left home, he came here specifically to take revenge.

Unexpectedly, Killua was released after being confined and interrogated for more than 20 days. Miki must be very unhappy, but he could do nothing about it.

Who makes the family favor Killua more?

As soon as they arrived in the corridor outside the interrogation room, Kurt coughed and reminded them.

"Killua-san, you are still not dressed. Isn't it inconvenient to meet guests like this?"

Killua was stunned for a moment and looked down.

Sure enough, his naked upper body was covered with scars of torture, which looked shocking and scary.

This was a common occurrence for him and it was nothing at all. He didn't even blink when he was whipped.

However, he didn't want to worry Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio, who had come here specially to see him, so he nodded.

"Then I'll go change my clothes first."

A quarter of an hour later, Killua changed into a dry long-sleeved shirt, making sure that all the wounds were covered, and then he and Kurt set off for the reception room.

He quickly stepped into the living room and heard a burst of laughter. Then he saw his father having a good conversation with Gon and Leorio.

Silva looked at Killua with a smile.

"Killua, your friends are really interesting. They told me the whole story of how you passed the Hunter Exam together. Why didn't you tell me about this before?"
