"It's really troublesome!" Old K grumbled as he faced the shirtless young man across from him.
"This space ability is incredibly frustrating!"
When it came to raw power, Old K undoubtedly had the upper hand over the young man. Despite both being A-level nen users, as Zeno had pointed out, the disparity among A-level users could be even greater than that between A-level and ordinary Nen practitioners.
Yet, the young man's ability was quite the cheat. He could swap places with...

A young man with cloudy eyes stood at the edge, scanning his surroundings while hiding his aura, searching for an opportunity.
Finally, he found it.
He approached the old O.
The target was exactly where the old man had broken his arm.
The wild beast battling the Old O noticed the young man's movements and quickly intensified his assault, leaving the old man no energy to spare for the newcomer.
"Pfft!"
A sharp blade pierced the old man's severed arm.

A fit and muscular woman charged straight at Old 0, her expression fierce and determined.
Clearly, she was an Enhancer-type Nen user.
A powerful concentration of aura gathered around her fist, radiating with an intense, dazzling glow. Her aura formed a glove-like shape over her hand, shimmering with lethal potential.
Seeing this technique, Old O couldn't help but recall his previous fights—especially his battle against Zeno and Kaizen, as well as that devastating clash wit...

The Elders part
The Ninth Elder's expression was as dark as storm clouds.
"Completely annihilated?"
A subordinate stood before him, head bowed low.
"Yes."
"Only two members of the Kute Gang?"
"No. Only one of them made a move. The other didn't intervene."
"That's impossible," the Ninth Elder rasped, his voice rough with disbelief and anger.
Could the Kute Gang of Thieves really be this strong? He had dispatched hundreds of elite...

Old O and Old K didn't rush toward the other two locations where disasters were imminent.
Instead, they focused on tracking Parker first.
Kaizen and Zeno hadn't caught up, but eliminating Parker would at least slow the spread of information.
"Did that material end up in the hands of the Zoldyck family?" Old K glanced at Old O.
Old O gave a slight nod. "Yeah, I saw the kid pull it out. It's a special bone with powerful aura—something you'd never find in ordinary mater...

Peter fumbled with his words for a long time before he managed to explain things clearly.
He wasn't very old, and since he had spent most of his time in the old garbage zone, he rarely interacted with others. His social skills were underdeveloped, making him struggle to string together coherent sentences.
The elder, already impatient, called over a Nen user whose ability could enhance communication. With that ability in effect, Peter's speech became clearer.
"Alright," Peter...

A figure appeared beside the elderly man nursing his broken arm.
"Old K, you took your time."
Old O's voice carried a hint of irritation.
But Old K shrugged it off. "I came as soon as I cleaned up the mess on my end. Instead of complaining that I was slow, you should reflect on your weakness. Not only did you fail to stop the disaster, but you also lost an arm."
Old O snorted coldly.

Kaizen stood still, taking in the scene before him, and a familiar image from the original story flashed through his mind.
This was almost identical to the moment when Zeno and Silva attacked Chrollo together.
The only difference? It wasn't Silva standing alongside Zeno—it was him.
Kaizen knew his abilities couldn't compare to Silva's. But still, Zeno's attack on the middle-aged man felt almost exactly like when he'd gone after Chrollo back then.

"There's no reason for us to hand over this material."
Zeno said calmly. "But we can't stay here long."
Following Zoldyck family principles: gather information first, fight later.
With their enemy's identity still unclear, Zeno wouldn't act rashly.
"Kaizen, your plan will need to wait for now. The exclusive butler will have to stand by."

When Parker heard those words, he instinctively began to turn his head.
However, Zeno's aura instantly locked onto him, halting him mid-motion.
Zeno gave Parker a brief glance.
"This way, you shouldn't have any connection to those people."
Kaizen frowned, deep in thought.
"They're targeting us? But there's no reason for it."

He folded his arms. "I...

A group of four headed toward the new garbage district.
They should have gone there earlier, but their plans were delayed by an outbreak of giant cockroaches.
As they made their way, Kaizen couldn't help but pull out the bone to examine it again.
It was still just as revolting as the first time he saw it.
That disgusting thing had saddled him with a massive debt—10 billion Jenny. But Kaizen didn't blame Zeno for that.
He knew better.

Kaizen leapt back swiftly, dodging the incoming strikes. Across from him, Raiken did the same, moving with calculated precision as they fought and retreated.
Parker raced to Peter's side, her eyes darting over the battlefield.
Meanwhile, high above, Zeno's aura condensed midair, shaping into a massive dragon that coiled in the sky. The image burned into Kaizen's mind.

Back at the Zoldyck estate, Silva's attitude was clear and resolute.
"From now on, don't take jobs related to the Phantom Troupe. It's not worth it."
At that time, Silva's strength clearly surpassed Chrollo's. Chrollo wanted to kill him but couldn't succeed. To Silva, Chrollo was... well, just not worth the trouble.
Years had passed since then, and undoubtedly, Chrollo had grown stronger. But even so, Kaizen believed Chrollo was still no match for Zeno and Silva.

Boom!
A massive creature loomed into view, making everyone freeze for a moment.
It was a cockroach—but not like any ordinary one.
This monster was gigantic. Its height alone reached over ten meters, and its length spanned dozens more. But its most disturbing feature was the face beneath its enormous compound eyes—it was eerily human.

What he'd just witnessed disturbed him—corpses left on this desolate ground were immediately devoured by the walking dead.
If that's how they treat the dead… what would happen to a baby?
Before Kaizen could locate the source of the infant's cries, the walking dead had already reached the child. But the baby wasn't eaten as Kaizen had feared.
Instead, one of the walking corpses gently picked up the baby, cradling it like a parent caring for their...

Kaizen and Zeno changed into new clothes that blended more seamlessly with the worn, tattered styles of Meteor City. Their goal was to attract as little attention as possible.

Zeno knew the elders of Meteor City, so he had a reliable way in.
A beat-up car rolled up in front of the hotel.
The driver was a middle-aged man with a disheveled appearance, and the vehicle looked just as worn out. Although the modifications gave it a strange, mismatched look, it seemed sturdy enough.
Zeno and Kaizen got into the car, and with the rumble of the engine, they were soon driving out of the city.
After a short ride on the main road, they veered onto a nar...
