Many countries' high-ranking officials heard the rumors and wanted to build good relations with Luke to establish a bridge.
But after they came knocking, they received the same response: Luke is away on a business trip, wait until he returns…
Strictly speaking, Luke can indeed be counted as being on a business trip.
For the sake of the safety of the hunters within the association, Luke had a meeting with a direct descendant of the world's strongest and most famous assassin family, the Zoldyck Family!!
The two sides had excellent communication and exchange regarding the future development of the association and the family.
They both deeply understood what kind of relationship should be established going forward.
For the better future of the Hunter Association and the Zoldyck Family, the legitimate blood heir of the Zoldyck Family, Milluki Zoldyck, chose to…
"Boss, give me another serving of rice!!"
Milluki Zoldyck, who had just shoveled down a plate of curry rice, shouted toward the kitchen.
Then he picked up the pork cutlet on the table and started devouring it with heavy breaths.
As the second son of the Zoldyck Family's direct bloodline, how could he not be considered a direct descendant?
"Eat slowly, nobody's fighting you for food."
Luke sipped a chocolate milkshake as he watched the ravenous Milluki and said with a smile, "I already said today is my treat. You can eat however you like; there's no need to rush like this."
"Since you said it's your treat, of course, I won't hold back!!"
Milluki's mouth didn't stop at all, and his knife and fork moved rapidly.
All kinds of food on the table disappeared like a sweeping storm into his stomach.
"This is also the last time I plan to go out. I don't want to leave home anymore after this."
Milluki gulped down his giant cup of soda, and then…
Bang!!
He slammed the huge glass on the table, face full of satisfaction: "So good!"
Burp.
He even let out a full burp.
"If it weren't for the fact that I came out this time to reconfigure a proper, truly brand-new computer, my very first in life, I would've just let the servants handle it. I wouldn't need to personally come out."
After wiping his mouth, Milluki reached for the pudding butter cake beside him: "Of course, aside from configuring a computer, "
"The main reason was just wanting to come out and meet you."
"Consider it a proper gathering with someone familiar, before I go home and stop going out entirely."
Over the years, Milluki and Luke had occasionally kept in touch online, chatting about topics related to the internet.
The two of them were quite familiar with each other.
If not for the Zoldyck Family forbidding friendships or having friends, Milluki genuinely wanted to bring Luke home to hang out.
Even this time, Milluki came out under the pretense of meeting a client to discuss business.
He didn't dare tell his family he was going to meet an online friend.
"Anyway, when I go back, I'll just say the business negotiation failed. No big deal."
Milluki patted his belly, which had already grown quite round.
"If we want to contact each other in the future, we can still use the internet, messages, calls, video, anything."
"I think, with how fast the internet is developing, it won't be long before communication devices undergo major changes too."
Milluki casually said, "Maybe by then, even when separated by thousands of kilometers, we'll still be able to have a video call."
Hearing this, Luke couldn't help but look at him a bit longer.
Indeed, to be described by Zeno Zoldyck, who was one of the world's top assassins, as a good brain, just a little eccentric...
It was clear that Milluki's intelligence stat was at an exceptional level.
It was just a pity that he didn't use his talent in the right place.
Truly a bit of a waste.
But everyone has their own aspirations.
Milluki wanted to be a happy shut-in, and that was his choice, his lifestyle.
He enjoyed it and was perfectly happy with it.
Luke wouldn't interfere.
Instead, he smiled and asked: "You're really in that much of a hurry to go home? Aren't you going to see your younger brother?"
"Killua? That guy's way stronger than me. He shouldn't die."
Milluki packed up the leftover snacks on the table and said carelessly, "Two years ago, my dad already threw him into Heavens Arena. Claimed it was for training..."
"Now that I think about it, it's been two and a half years. He should have graduated from there by now, right?"
Milluki muttered, "If it were me, I definitely wouldn't go. Fighting is way too exhausting..."
Heavens Arena and the Zoldyck Family were both in the Republic of Padokea.
And the Zoldyck Family liked to throw their members into Heavens Arena to train.
According to Milluki, as long as you reach the 200th floor, you're considered to have graduated and cleared it.
Because above the 200th floor is the world of Nen users.
Only people who have learned Nen can survive there.
Actually, despite the world prohibiting the spread of Nen to ordinary people, there were still many opportunities for normal people to learn it.
The two most typical examples were: the Hunter Exam and Heavens Arena.
The Hunter Exam didn't need explanation; if you could pass all tests, you already proved your ability.
Naturally, you are qualified to learn Nen, and the Hunter Association staff would guide you.
As for Heavens Arena, the dividing line was also the 200th floor.
As long as you reached the 200th floor, you proved you had the qualifications to come into contact with Nen.
But the method in Heavens Arena was far more brutal.
Unlike the association, they didn't send instructors.
You could only, through battles against Nen users, luckily open your aura nodes and survive.
Only then would you gain the qualification to step into the world of Nen users.
This process was called baptism.
Very few could pass this baptism, and even among those who did and learned Nen, many were left with injuries, and sometimes, permanent disabilities were completely normal.
And to the Zoldyck Family… Only those who survived such an environment and became stronger were worthy of being called children of the Zoldyck Family.
That was also why Silva threw Killua there.
Originally, he wanted Killua to continue pushing toward the floors above 200.
But… Killua stopped playing.
