Hunter x Hunter: My Nen Beast is Strong

Chapter 31 Standoff

Hisoka had just started talking about Erigi when Erigi appeared behind Gon and his group, smiling and saying, "Killua, don't be afraid. You have Gon as a friend. Even if your brother really makes a move, Gon will definitely help you."

Upon hearing this, Gon immediately stood up and agreed, saying, "If it's Killua, Eriji will definitely help us too."

Ailiji's lips twitched slightly, realizing that Xiao Jie, who appeared honest and simple, was actually quite cunning and ruthless.

Illumi was clearly displeased upon hearing these words, and immediately stepped forward, saying, "Killua, you don't need friends, do you!"

"No, I need friends!" Killua, though terrified of his brother, mustered the courage to speak his mind.

This made Illumi even more unhappy. The killer's unique murderous aura permeated the entire passage, and Hisoka, who was standing to the side, showed a look of infatuation when he saw it.

This shows just how pure that murderous intent was!

If Killua were to face this malevolent Nen alone, he would surely submit to Illumi's control.

Even if Killua learns Nen now, it will be the same.

Fortunately, Kakashi withstood most of the pressure, preventing Killua from becoming cowardly and submitting.

"In that case, I'll just have to get rid of all your friends." Illumi pulled out a Nen needle, giving the impression that he was ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

After hearing this, Xiao Jie's expression became serious. He would never let anyone hurt his friend.

"Illumi, have you forgotten the pain once the wound has healed? Do you want to dance again? By the way, you seem to be someone who doesn't feel pain," Eligi said.

Illumi seems to genuinely not know what pain is. Last time, when his arm was broken in the Trap Tower, Illumi didn't even show the slightest change in expression. He simply inserted a few Nen needles into his own hand and then resumed normal activity.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—"

At this moment, both sides released their own Nen energy, causing the corridor lights to flicker and the voltage to become extremely unstable.

Just then, the phone rang. Illumi immediately suppressed his murderous aura and walked aside to answer the call.

"Yes! Yes! I know, Killua. It's Dad calling. He wants you to listen," Illumi said.

Killua hesitated slightly after hearing this. Besides Illumi, Silva was the only other person he feared most at home.

As for the others, Killua wasn't too afraid, as evidenced by the fact that he injured his second brother and mother before running away.

They probably sneaked out while Silva and Illumi were both on a mission.

"Go ahead, Illumi can't take you away unless you want to," Eligi finally promised.

If a real fight breaks out, we can accomplish what we couldn't do last time. Now that Kakashi is in the team, and the strength of Eriji and his group has also improved, it should be much easier to defeat Illumi.

Upon hearing the promise, Killua was indeed less afraid. He had witnessed Kakashi's strength firsthand, and Killua judged that Kakashi was not much weaker than his older brother.

"Dad! Hmm..." Killua finally took the phone and started talking to Silva in the corridor.

About ten minutes later, Killua looked at his older brother Illumi with a happy smile and said, "Father has allowed me to learn Nen from others outside."

"How could Father make such a decision!" Illumi took the phone and chatted with Silva for a few minutes before hanging up and saying, "Even if Father agrees, you can't contact these dangerous guys."

"So we still have to fight?" Hisoka's killing intent was being drawn in, and he was almost unable to control himself. He just wanted the fight to start as soon as possible.

At this moment, Hisoka couldn't help but want to take the initiative to provoke a conflict, then kill Erigi, then kill Killua, and then have a love-hate relationship with Illumi.

"No, no, I have to be patient! Ah!" Hisoka groaned inwardly. There were just too many apples; he wanted to take a bite out of every single one he saw.

At this moment, Killua stepped forward and said, "My father has already agreed to let me learn Chidori from Kakashi-sensei. My affairs are none of your business."

Upon hearing this, Illumi's usually expressionless face showed a rare hint of displeasure as he raised an eyebrow.

After hearing this, Ailiji objected, saying, "I didn't agree to that!"

"A billion in reward. Once you master Chidori, I'll give you a billion in reward." Killua seemed to have learned from Kurapika that Erigi was short of money.

One billion? Eligi couldn't help but fall into thought. Hidan and Kakashi already have eight hundred million Jenny when they reach the two hundredth floor. Adding this one billion Jenny and subtracting the twelve billion Jenny, there would be six hundred million Jenny left.

"Alright, but I need to pay a deposit of 500 million first!" In the end, Eligi couldn't resist the temptation of money and agreed.

"Okay!" Killua didn't have much of a concept of money; this guy had once spent hundreds of millions of Jenny on snacks.

The chocolate that tasted so good was a type of chocolate sold at the Heavens Arena that cost tens of thousands of yen per small piece, and Killua ate almost several thousand yen worth of it.

Killua, who had little concept of money, readily agreed.

This makes Illumi seem like an outsider, which is quite awkward.

"Hey, so this means we're not fighting anymore?" Hidan wasn't very bright, but after listening to everyone, he also felt that the fight might not be happening.

Just then, Illumi's phone rang again. Upon answering, Illumi said, "Okay, soon!"

It looks like the employer is pressing for an assassination mission.

Illumi glanced at Eliji and said coldly, "If anything happens to Killua, I'll kill you first."

"Come on then, it doesn't matter if you come or not." Having come from a garbage dump, Eligi has never been afraid of any threatening words.

Ugh! Why does he think of himself as someone who came from a garbage dump again? That's really strange!

And so, Hisoka watched Illumi leave with considerable disappointment, then looked at Eligi and asked, "I'd like to fight your Nen beast. The reward is negotiable."

"No, I'm not short of money right now," Eligi said with a smile. He was just like Hisoka, who wanted to dance but had no stage, which was incredibly frustrating!

"Hehehehe, then you'd better watch out. I'll have to fight in my own way." Hisoka said nonchalantly, giving Kakashi one last look before leaving.

"Ugh, this is such a hassle!" Kakashi said, taking out the book again.

"Hey, Killua, hurry up and transfer the money over," Eligi urged.

"Tch! I'll transfer the money to you after the registration is complete." Killua didn't take the money from his family; he already had over 300 million Jenny left after clearing 200 floors.

As for where the remaining 100 million+ Jenny went, of course it was used to sell chocolates.

As for the remaining 200 million, just ask Xiao Jie for a loan. Xiao Jie doesn't really have a concept of money, so he'll probably agree right away.
