Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 84 "Ghostly Killua"

After resting for another night in the housekeeper's house of the Zoldyck family, German took the initiative to say goodbye and left, asking Wutong to help convey the message to the masters of the Zoldyck family.

"Yes." Wutong responded and clapped his hands again, "Canalia, come here."

A dark-skinned girl with dreadlocks walked over. She was the trainee housekeeper of the Zoldyck family. She also came from Meteor Street and only came here a few years ago.

"Mr. Wutong." Canaria bowed slightly, with no flaws in her etiquette. She was like a cold machine, keeping a good distance from German.

"Send Mr. German to the gate." Wutong adjusted his glasses.

"Yes." Canaria responded, then turned to look at Germain, "Mr. Germain, please come this way."

Considering that the "courtyard" of the Zoldyck family's mansion was indeed quite large, German didn't want to waste time, so he followed Canaria.

The two men left the butler's house. Wutong and a group of butlers bowed behind them. It was not because they respected Germann, but because he was brought back by Master Ilmi.

Canaria walked slowly with German, and soon they saw the Trial Gate in the distance. When they passed through a forest, they saw the huge hound named "Sanmao".

However, at this time, there was another figure beside Sanmao, feeding Sanmao, but it was not the gatekeeper Jie Burong, but a child.

He has short silver hair and is dressed quite fashionably. He looks to be only eleven or twelve years old. He is Killua, the third son of the Zoldyck family.

Thus, among the Zoldyck brothers, only the fourth son Alluga is the one whom Germain has not met yet. However, it is unlikely that he will ever meet Alluga, who is under heavy surveillance and protection.

"Master Killua." Although Canaria bowed calmly, her hands holding the cane were shaking slightly, showing her excitement and joy, "Good morning."

"Well, good morning." Killua was a little cold towards Canaria. He glanced at her and looked away.

However, Canaria was not disappointed, because she knew that Master Killua did it on purpose. Otherwise, if Mrs. Kijuu or Master Illumi knew about it, she would be punished for violating the housekeeper's rules.

"Master Killua is still so gentle..." Canaria couldn't help but think.

Noticing the stranger, Killua suddenly became interested, ignoring Canaria, holding his hands behind his head, and walked around German curiously.

"Brother Yilmi never brought back any women, and we were quite worried. We didn't expect that he would bring back two men this time."

As he teased, he looked at German, who was full of flaws, and began to wonder in his heart.

It’s strange. Anyone who can hang out with that guy Ilmi shouldn’t be a weakling. Why does it seem like he can find opportunities to attack everywhere?

That guy Ilmi, I've never seen him interested in women. Could he really like men?

Killua felt a chill and quickly dismissed this possibility from his mind. He curled his lips and suddenly had a devilish idea. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled like a fox.

"I can call you German, okay?" Killua was quite impolite and put his hands down, "I heard that you are also a killer. It just so happens that I have learned a trick recently, can you teach me?"

Killua tilted his head back and gave German an innocent and harmless smile.

Canaria on the side had guessed what Master Killua was thinking. She frowned but did not speak to stop him.

"I don't mind." German still had a good impression of Killua, "But I don't think I can teach you anything about assassin skills."

At his current age, Killua has already started working as a killer and has killed countless people. Putting aside his "psychic ability", his killing skills are more advanced than German's.

"It doesn't matter, just a casual sparring." Killua subconsciously took Germain's words as a sign of retreat, and he quickly followed, "Come on, I'm going to do it."

The next moment after he gave the reminder, his hands suddenly swung like long whips, and only the afterimage of his arms as soft as snakes could be seen occasionally.

"Here it comes, Master Killua has mastered the 'Snake Skill' a few years ago. It's really malicious." Canaria glanced at Killua and thought. "However, Master Killua is probably far from being a match for Mr. Germain. This move can't hurt him."

Sure enough, Killua rushed forward without warning and swung his arms at Germain like whips!
But German calmly raised his hands and quickly and firmly grasped Killua's arms!

"Huh?!" Killua was shocked and tried to break free, but found that his arms seemed to be welded. He quickly kicked at German's chin, but German dodged it by turning his head.

"Such a quick reaction..." Killua was secretly shocked.

Still not giving up, he raised his legs again and kept trying to kick German's head, abdomen, and limbs, but he failed every time.

German held Killua's hands like a clothesline, and Killua was a piece of clothing, allowing him to swing and do whatever he wanted.

Killua's face turned red, but he still refused to beg for mercy.

He grabbed Germain's hands in turn, lifted his body like a pull-up, stretched his head over, and opened his mouth to bite the back of Germain's hand.

This time, German finally let go. Only children would bite each other when they fight, and he didn't want to be stained by Killua's saliva.

But thinking back, both Wo Jin and Kuang Dog would bite each other during the fight, and their ferocious biting could never be described as "a fight between children."

As soon as Killua landed, he suddenly retreated a distance, laughed hoarsely a few times, and said, "You still have some skills. I'm about to get serious."

Then, this time he used the "limb bending" technique and walked around German, leaving afterimages of his entire body.

"I was just thinking that Master Killua is so mean." Canaria looked at Germain this time and said to herself, "But the one who is really mean is actually Mr. Germain."

"When Master Killua faces someone he absolutely cannot defeat, he will stop fighting. But Mr. Germain deliberately restrained his murderous intent and left so many loopholes to give Master Killua hope and lure him..."

However, this time the battle came to an abrupt end before Killua could continue his attack.

There was a rumbling, hurried sound of running nearby.

Sanmao suddenly ran towards Germanmain, and in an instant he was beside Germanmain, opening his bloody mouth and ready to bite him.

Sanmao has received training and will bite to death anyone who enters or leaves the Trial Gate without going through it. He will also bite to death anyone who attacks members of the Zoldyck family. They are all enemies.

What Germain had just done to Killua, in its understanding, had become a clear signal of attack.

Killua was so shocked that he stopped "flexing his limbs", and Canaria clenched her scepter. For a moment, they didn't react to Sanmao's sudden attack.

Just as they were about to call for a stop, they saw German look at Sanmao and suddenly release his "evil thoughts", which surged out like a flood!
Sanmao braked all four legs. Its biological instinct made it feel afraid in front of German, but its training by the Zoldyck family forced it to attack the enemy.

Faced with the contradiction, Sanmao was a little stuck and hesitated to move forward.

At this time, Canaria hurriedly said: "Sanmao, retreat, there are no enemies here."

Sanmao recognized Canaria's smell and voice. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped back obediently, then stood next to a big tree, staring at German.

Kanaria breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and saw that Master Killua was gone.

It turned out that the moment German released the "evil thought", Killua could not control the influence of fear, and retreated suddenly, and drilled onto the branch of another big tree like lightning.

His long-sleeved shirt was soaked with cold sweat, and he stared at Germann with rapid breathing.

"Why, why does this guy have the same trick as Ilmi? What is that? What on earth is that?"
