"Nessley!"
"You're alive—that's great!"
Nessley ran toward the intruder holding the scissors.
"I'm sorry, Nancy. I'm just... too weak," Nessley said with guilt weighing heavily on her.
She'd felt the same way when she saw the image on the computer earlier. The guilt hadn't left her since.
"Nessley, you don't really believe that, do you?" Nancy asked, glancing toward Kaizen and Ponzu.
"Are those two holding you back?"
"Yes," Nessley replied, nodding....

Tucker looked over.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank.
"What... is this?"
There was a flash of confusion in his eyes—then came a surge of anger.
Just one glance at these women, and it was obvious they had been subjected to inhuman treatment.
But why?
Who did this to them?
An answer surfaced in Tucker's mind, but it was almost too disturbing to believe.
Up until now, Tucker had seen Dark Night and Karoo in black-and-white terms.
Dark Night was ...

"Can."
"...Real?"
Nessley froze for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
She tossed the device toward Kaizen.
Kaizen didn't move.
Instead, Uchiha Sasuke stepped forward and caught the Nen tool. After confirming it was safe, he handed it over to Kaizen.
It was shaped like a pendant—similar to the defensive-type Nen tool Dominica had once gifted Kaizen back in the Kingdom of Fiora.
"I'll take on this request," Kaizen said...

Snort!
The attacker sneered coldly.
"So it really is a Nen Beast."
"But this one won't be able to block my attack."
"You've got no more tricks left."
But this time...
"Rashomon, Susanoo."
A dark red giant emerged, encasing Uchiha Sasuke within it like living armor.
The attacker's strike landed.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
The attacker's pupils shrank in disbelief.

"Nen is the power of the mind. It's a superhuman ability activated through willpower. Once you gain this ability, you can see things beyond normal perception and wield incredible strength."
Kurapika gave a clear, concise explanation to Prince Zhang Lei in the Fourteenth Prince's quarters.
After the interrogation, at Ronnel's signal, Bill also began explaining to the Queen to help her stay calm in the face of the strange phenomenon that had just unfolded.
Ronnel had ...

Bill, who had been listening quietly, added, "Well, he is a soldier."
"Then let him in~" Ronnel said offhandedly. "The result won't change either way."
As he spoke, a small ball of aura formed in his hand—crafted from the ability [Little Eye].
The senior soldier stationed outside belonged to the royal standing army, dispatched under the National Defense Act: [Gu...

There was silence on the other end for a moment before the voice returned:
"I understand. I'll call again in an hour. If the situation hasn't been resolved by then, the agreement is off."
The line went dead after that curt and commanding declaration.
Kurapika lowered the phone, rubbing his temples.
Seeing that the eldest prince hadn't sent another message, he turned his head toward Ronnel, who was already standing, eyes quietly searching his face.
He wanted answe...

This clearly meant that the soldiers sent by Prince Benjamin were to wait outside the door.
Kurapika was momentarily speechless. In that instant, he realized he wasn't in any position to demand that the Morgan guard act on his command.
In fact, judging from their relative strength and the level of trust the Queen placed in him, it was clear: If there was any hierarchy among the bodyguards...
Then Kurapika was, at best, second in command—and expected to follow orders.

"Kaizen, die!"
A figure suddenly appeared, charging straight at Kaizen with murderous intent.
Their aura was far stronger than Nessley's—sharper, more suffocating.
A lean, middle-aged man.
His entire presence felt like a drawn blade, aimed right at Kaizen's heart.
Nessley's eyes lit up.
"A chance!"
This sudden ambush would definitely force Kaizen's attention away.
Less pressure on her.
She could escape. Regroup.
Help the others.

"How's the battle going between Tucker and your partner?"
"That's right."
"Yeah, but what can you offer in return?"
"Offer?"
Nessley frowned.
"How about this," Kaizen said. "I can show you a video of Tucker fighting your partner—but only if you agree to one condition."
"What condition?"
"If your partner loses and Tucker survives, then you kill yourself."
Nessley's pupils contracted.
A long silence followed.

Just now, when Natsu stopped attacking, the woman thought Kaizen hadn't noticed her.
But just as she tried to slip away quietly, Natsu stepped in front of her again.
She froze.
From the look of things, he wasn't here to kill her—only to hold her back.
She couldn't understand it.

The guards had either fled or been killed.
Only Kaizen's group remained.

Ronnel knew perfectly well that he had no real connection with Sayird.
The only time their paths crossed was when Sayird was under control. Ronnel had saved him—and he'd thanked him.
That was it. Ronnel didn't even know what Sayird's ability was called, or how it worked.
Huh? Don't tell me... saving someone and being thanked is all it takes for him to use their Nen?
But he could use it without any apparent restriction. Wasn't that just ridiculous?

It made perfect sense to place royal guards around the princes—at least on the surface.
But the other princes weren't too receptive to Benjamin's "kindness."
"It is absolutely forbidden to loiter anywhere near Camilla's quarters!!"
Camilla, the volatile second prince, was furious at Benjamin's imposed arrangements.

While Camilla fumed, the eccentric fourth prince, Tserriednich, also received Benjamin...

The appearance of someone who wasn't part of the intelligence team immediately put the woman on high alert.
If she got pinned down, Tucker could support Karoo, and with Tucker protecting him, her two partners would have a hard time taking Karoo out.

She gritted her teeth.
"I can't stay here too long!"
"But I've seen this guy fight before—his strength is real."
Her gaze flickered as she looked at Kaizen.

Only three people came under the cover of night.
But all three could use aura.
And not the weak kind, either—they were strong.

Normally, it's just a yellow dot.
It turns green when sensing goodwill.
And red when encountering hostility.
But it's not 100% reliable.
Even people can't always tell whether someone is genuinely kind or just putting on an act—how can a bug be expected to judge? At best, it's just a reference point.
The real judgment has to come from people.
There might be a Nen ability that can distinguish good from evil with complete accuracy, but if it exists, it must ...

Kaizen and Ponzu switched seats.
Ponzu moved into the driver's seat.
Kaizen sat up front in the passenger seat.
Taking advantage of the downtime, he closed his eyes for a short rest.
There was a high chance things would get violent tonight.
According to the intel from Tucker, their opponent wasn't beyond Kaizen's abilities to handle.
Especially now, after the appearance of Toriko, Kaizen's strength had grown significantly.

A sneer full of arrogance and contempt echoed behind her.
Prince Benjamin—the eldest—had arrived without anyone noticing.

Theta stared at the Fourth Prince. In his high-heeled shoes, with a humanoid face and a grotesque beastly expression, the Nen Beast loomed close—its mouth bubbling with grotesque noises, its muzzle nearly brushing Theta's nose.

To be honest, Kaizen didn't react right away.
But after a moment of observation, he figured it out.
Kaizen wasn't really sixteen, after all.
He still had memories from his previous life.
So things like this weren't new to him.
In the world he'd lived in before, the internet was overflowing with this kind of "learning material."

This meant the fusion effect would be optimal.
