"What I want to say is simple. If you have any questions, I'll answer them."
Jili glanced at Kaizen and Mond.
"I'd like to ask, is it just us going?" Kaizen inquired.
"Of course not," Larkin replied. "Our Aiyi family isn't the only group interested in the Scarlet Eyes. Others are after them as well."
"In fact, we've invited far more people than just you. You're only one of the test groups."
Mond raised his hand. "How many people exactly?"
Larkin shook his h...

Kaizen's eyes twitched slightly.
Then, he pushed the door open and stepped inside.
There weren't many guests inside. As he entered, all eyes turned toward him. The front desk clerk glanced at him and spoke.
"Go down the hallway to the end."
"Take the elevator to the second floor."
The clerk was also a Nen user.
Kaizen nodded and walked down the passage. At the end of the corridor, there was a door. He opened it and found an elevator inside.

"So, if I get the token, will you try to take it from me?"
"Take it? Of course not."
"Why? Logically speaking, you're here for the token too, right? You put in all this effort, only to let me walk away with it?"
"It's just a token. Even if you get it, it's just a commission for an assassination mission. Whether you actually get paid is another matter entirely."
"Besides, it's not that important to me."

Kaizen didn't respond right away.
Instead, he analyzed the situation in his mind.
The other party belonged to the Bodo Group, so it wasn't surprising that he recognized Kaizen's identity from his movements. His Ghost Step technique still carried traces of limb distortions, a telltale sign.
Years ago, the Bodo Assassin Group had claimed the title of the world's second-best assassin organization. Naturally, they would have studied the Zoldyck family extensively.

This almost covers most of life's desires, and Beyond Netero had made a tempting offer.
He was confident that no one would refuse—not unlike the others he had already recruited.
Of course, if someone was held back by sentimental attachments, that was beyond his control.
"Sounds pretty good~"
Tapping his fingers on the table, Ronnel lifted his gaze, locking eyes with Beyond before responding.

That carefree, reckless nature... It really reminded Ronnel of Netero.
But beneath that seemingly easygoing attitude, Beyond also possessed a meticulous and calculating mind—something that set him apart from Netero in a significant way.
It was precisely this unique mix of traits that gave him his own brand of charisma, attracting many powerful individuals to his cause. Even people like Pariston were willing to work with him. Hell, even Ging had joined his team later on.

Beyond Netero said this with a smile, his voice calm and confident.
Then, still smiling, he continued, "After I sent my invitation, you only asked me why, without questioning my identity or other factors. That tells me you already have some understanding of who I am. So, I assume you also have a general idea of my strength?"

"But what if he's really not interested in the Dark Continent?" Nasubi asked bluntly.
"Then I'll just find another way!"
Beyond remained full of confidence. "I will definitely get him on my team, no matter what!"
After much debate and speculation, Heavens Arena finally issued an official statement.
Stripping away all the fluff, the core message was simple: the champion of this year's Battle Olympia was still Ronnel!
There was no way around it! Heavens Arena neede...

Kaizen straddled the bike he had taken from them.
Even though it was adult-sized, he had no trouble using it.
Not long after, the two thugs groggily opened their eyes.

Both of them were hanging naked from a streetlamp, fully exposed under the harsh glow of the light.

Two hours later.
A sea of lights came into view.
Locks City was an open city, without walls or borders—accessible from any direction. A pure entertainment hub, it never truly slept. Even in the dead of night, it was as bright as day.
In fact, for the people of Locks City, the real day began after sunset.
The bus rolled into the city.
Kaizen looked out the window. Bars, street food stalls, karaoke clubs, hotels—everything revolved around enter...

"The Kurta?"
Kaizen narrowed his eyes at the mention of the Kurta clan. He had always been intrigued by them.
In the original storyline, the Kurta clan played a significant role, tied to several major plot points. One of the key early characters, Kurapika, was a survivor of the Kurta massacre.
According to Kurapika, the extermination of his people was carried out by the Phantom Troupe, which led to the events of the Yorknew City arc.

Based on this information, one can make a rough guess about Mizaistom's abilities.
However, the specifics remain unclear.
"Judging from what we know, Mizaistom is probably not a Nen user who specializes in combat," Kaizen mused. "Similar to Gel."
"That said, he should still be stronger than Gel."
"Gel is two-thirds poison expert and one-third fighter. Mizaistom likely isn't on that level."

Then, Beyond took a sip of the purple wine, the liquid shimmering in the glass as he swirled it. A slightly intoxicated expression crossed his face before he leaned back onto the plush bed, a smile tugging at his lips.

"It's truly one of the seven most exquisite colors in the world. Not just the appearance—its taste is mesmerizing as well."

The next part was much easier to handle—it was nothing more than the announcement of the reward.
Soon, after everything was settled, the meeting came to an end.
The Zodiacs came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the number of people in the room had been reduced by half.
Netero, who had been silent all this time, simply chuckled a few times before returning to his office to continue drinking tea.
Pariston was left alone, staring at the table and chairs in ...

Pariston's decision was clearly one of retreat. As a result, even if Saccho and Pyon wanted to offer Ronnel additional rewards, they found themselves unable to do so.
Cheadle sighed helplessly. When it came to emotional intelligence, she felt that only Pariston could outmaneuver her in the room.
No, there was one more.
Mizaistom glanced at Netero, who sat at the head of the table, eyes closed, entirely uninvolved.
"Alright, then it's settled. Ronnel will be granted the...

It was clear that Pariston and Netero were going head-to-head, pushing each other's limits, but everyone else subconsciously overlooked it. Netero himself, however, seemed to be enjoying the game.
When Mizaistom Nana shifted the topic, Pariston remained silent, his usual warm smile never fading.

"Yeah."
"Alright, I'll be there in about four days."
"No problem. Just call me when you arrive, Mizaistom-sama."
"Got it."
Kaizen hung up the phone and turned his attention back to the conversation with Nina and the others. The relaxed atmosphere made him feel something rare—warmth. It reminded him of the Zoldyck estate. A place where, for once, he didn't have to keep his guard up all the time.

Nina remained vigilant.
Facing Tro's relentless assault, she swiftly dodged, the two of them darting around the ring in a rapid exchange.
"Genius?" Tro sneered. "Genius, my ass. If you haven't made it to the 200th floor, you have no idea what a different world this is. Down below, all your so-called talent is nothing but a joke."

The young man kept rambling as he drove.
Kaizen nodded stiffly.

A petite girl playfully flicking her ponytail.
A cat walking upright on two legs.
A boy with fiery red hair, his body wreathed in flames.

Upon arrival, they found Netero calmly drinking tea, looking as relaxed as ever. His secretary, Beans, was nowhere to be seen.

Sensing the unspoken questions in everyone's eyes, Netero explained casually before taking another sip of tea and closing his eyes in satisfaction.

Another theory suggests that this incident was resolved thanks to the overwhelming strength of the previous champion, who not only stepped in but also completely dominated the other competitors. All the other contenders were defeated by the criminal leader, yet Ronnel managed to triumph.

Those who support this perspective argue that Ronnel rightfully deserves the championship title this year—no contest.

Ronnel's eyes flickered as he gazed at the last two glowing clusters inside his spatial inventory.

When he opened one of the light clusters and absorbed its contents, the realization dawned on him.

With a structured method to cultivate resentment, the condensed energy of resentment and the abilities of these two Jeds finally had a purpose.
Perfect. Everything aligned.

I'm afraid Ronnel never imagined that a casual remark of his own would lead Chrollo to make so many assumptions, each one further from reality.
If he knew things would turn out like this, he would probably be just as dumbfounded.
Yet, Chrollo's intricate speculations ended up taking Ronnel off the suspect list entirely.
After all, the most well-hidden things are often the easiest to overlook.
