Then, they saw Bisky sitting in the garden pavilion, drinking tea and conversing with Neon.
Bisky seemed to have seen Kevin returning, and raised her hand to wave.
Kevin walked straight over.
"You're quite slow to return."
"Sorry, Master, when I contacted you, I was still in the Kakin Empire."
"Don't call me Master, it makes me sound old!" Bisky said unhappily.
"Yes, Princess Bisky, your loyal knight is late."
After speaking, Kevin even exaggeratedly knelt down, like a knight performing a salute.
Bisky became interested, tilted her head slightly, jumped off her seat, and placed her hand on Kevin's arm.
"My lovely Princess will not punish you."
"Teacher!" A voice came, instantly breaking Bisky's interest.
Wing, who had just walked in, saw this scene and immediately realized he had come at the wrong time.
Unlike Wing's seriousness, Kevin's casual personality sometimes perfectly matched Bisky's "channel."
Menchi and the others could only stand outside, looking at the scene with bewildered expressions.
They had guessed earlier that the lady was Bisky, after all, she was quite famous in the Hunter Association.
Although they hadn't seen her photo, they had heard descriptions of her appearance, which matched.
They just hadn't expected her personality to be so unique.
"Uncle Kevin" X2
Kurapika and Pairo also walked over with Wing.
Subsequently, Light and Rosana also rushed over after hearing the news, followed by a person Kevin had never seen before.
If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the Three-Star Hunter, Kido.
Dog girl?
Her somewhat animal-like appearance was very unique; once seen, it was basically unforgettable.
However, it should be a disguise or an effect of her Nen Ability, not her true appearance.
In just this short while, all the important figures in the manor had gathered in the garden.
Everyone introduced themselves and got acquainted.
After chatting for a while, Kevin, accompanied by Bisky, Kido, and Pairo, went to the family infirmary within the manor.
Kido seemed to be a no-nonsense person; she directly stated, "This should be the patient. I've already conducted some preliminary checks on his condition.
However, since you hadn't arrived yet, a detailed examination wasn't performed. Do you need me to conduct a more thorough examination now?"
After all, Kevin was the employer, and she immediately entered work mode.
Hearing this, Kevin nodded.
"Then come with me, child."
Kevin patted Pairo's shoulder.
Then, everyone saw Kido take out something resembling a medical record book.
She began to ask Pairo about his situation, just like a regular consultation at a hospital.
Afterward, she began to perform some simple examinations, using only the ordinary medical equipment she carried with her.
But Kevin was no ordinary person; he could naturally tell that Nen was used throughout the entire examination process.
It wasn't a specific Nen Ability, but a special technique.
Although the examination was thorough, it didn't take too much time. Soon, Kido provided the diagnosis.
"The patient's problem should be due to a fall from a height during childhood.
Although I don't know why, it's clear that the patient didn't receive proper treatment at the time, leaving him with sequelae.
As he aged, the impact of these symptoms expanded.
Too much time has passed; even with high-precision surgery, it may not be possible for him to fully recover to a healthy state."
These issues didn't need much explanation; they were neurological problems, very difficult to repair.
Of course, her explanation here was more based on the current medical standards for ordinary people.
She pushed up the glasses on her face, looked at Kevin, and said, "Of course, we are all Nen Users. If I use my Nen Ability for more refined treatment, he has a chance of recovery.
But this will take a considerable amount of time. The entire course of treatment is estimated to require at least three years, with two treatments annually.
Each session would take approximately two to three hours."
In terms of total time, it didn't sound like much, but the treatment period required a gradual process and for the body to adapt.
Pairo's problem was neither an acute injury nor an inherent physical ailment.
Instead, it was a neurological issue; if he had received timely treatment after the fall, it would have been a simple matter for Kido, curable in the blink of an eye.
But the problem was that so many years had passed without a solution, causing the sequelae to worsen and spread to his optic nerves,
brain, and both legs.
And these were just the more severe aspects.
In reality, his entire body had become very weak; this impact was comprehensive.
Simply put, it was a problem caused by procrastination.
Such problems cannot be solved by simple surgery; they require slow recuperation and gradual, gentle treatment.
Hearing the doctor's words, Pairo's face clearly showed disappointment.
Sure enough, was his body still too weak?
If this continued, let alone revenge, even living a healthy life would be a problem.
"My Nen Ability might be able to provide good auxiliary effects during the treatment process. I invited you here not only to help him with his physical examination but also, more importantly, to collaborate with you to develop a specific antidote for his current condition."
Hearing Kevin's words, Kido's expression didn't show much surprise; it was all within her expectations.
She spoke up to remind him, "If that's the case, I will inevitably need to understand your Nen Ability in depth. Although I will promise confidentiality, I hope you will carefully consider the risks involved."
Her own Nen Ability had the effects of examination and related treatment.
The so-called in-depth cooperation to develop an antidote clearly relied mainly on Kevin's Nen Ability, with her providing assistance based on her professional knowledge and ability for in-depth investigation.
Kevin nodded indifferently, "No problem, then we can discuss the remuneration now."
Kido nodded, "I'm not very interested in ordinary money. I hope to be paid with your potions.
If the potions' effects are truly as you describe, I will reduce the remuneration accordingly."
Then she added, "From the beginning of assisting with your treatment, the cost will continuously increase, so I hope you keep that in mind."
Kevin nodded; after all, the other party was a Three-Star Hunter, so a high price was reasonable.
"These are the potions I'm giving you first. You can take a look. These two are not included in the remuneration."
Saying this, Kevin took out two vials of potion from his waist and handed them to Kido.
Kido pushed up her glasses, curiously took the potions, and examined them from side to side, but she didn't immediately try to use them or conduct a more in-depth examination.
"Okay, I'll study them carefully later."
At this point, a verbal agreement was temporarily reached between the two parties.
Kido would draft a contract, and the treatment would officially begin tomorrow, with remuneration also calculated from the signing of the contract tomorrow.
She generously decided not to charge for the round-trip travel and the two days wasted.
It was then that Kevin realized this Three-Star Hunter was not only accomplished in the medical field but also highly skilled in law.
This was simply the ultimate academic genius!
Both medicine and law are extremely demanding fields of study.
To become a Hunter was already a genius, and a Three-Star Hunter was the cream of the crop among geniuses.
To be honest, Kevin was already looking forward to the process of cooperating with Kido in pharmaceutical development.
Even just listening to her advice might bring him considerable gains, as his knowledge base and hers were completely on different levels; even the original owner couldn't compare to her.
They were simply not on the same dimension.
After everyone dispersed, Kevin and Bisky took a walk in the manor.
"Those three people—they are from the Kurutas who were massacred before, aren't they?" Bisky asked.
Kevin was not surprised and nodded.
"It seems you've had quite a rich experience during this time, but looking at you, your strength hasn't declined either."
In fact, Bisky was more concerned about this aspect.
This made Kevin smile and say, "Of course, I've never relaxed my training."
Kevin had always persisted in training, and with the aid of potions, his overall strength had been steadily increasing.
At this stage, his potential Nen had already exceeded twenty thousand.
"I really didn't expect you to actually remove the side effects of the potions."
Compared to others, Bisky clearly knew more, for example, she understood that Kevin's Nen Ability was actually Post-mortem Nen.
But Kevin actually had the ability to eliminate the side effects of potions for others, which made it somewhat unbelievable for her.
Although Bisky hadn't deeply researched Post-mortem Nen, she certainly knew more about it than most Nen Users.
However, it was clear that she didn't understand Kevin's true situation as thoroughly as Ging, and her knowledge of Post-mortem Nen also couldn't compare to Ging's.
Bisky might have thought of possibilities like consciousness entering the body or soul reconstruction, but it would be difficult for her to think of a soul transmigrating from an unknown place.
"Bisky, I want to talk to you about the Hunter community."
"Hmm? Why suddenly talk about this?" This abrupt topic made Bisky a bit confused.
Kevin briefly explained his idea of building a potion vending store.
Bisky immediately understood.
"No problem, if it's just for advice, of course."
Bisky also had a demand for these potions that no longer had side effects.
