Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 104 Arranging for Silva

"That's truly an insult to our reputation," Lucci said casually.

"Being an assassin is just a job. We, the Zoldyck family, naturally have the ability to refuse, and such targets are rare."

While saying this, Silva was still fully focused on sensing himself.

Unfortunately, he was not a martial artist of the Shingen-ryu school who had reached the pinnacle of self-awareness, and therefore could not find a way to break free immediately.

To date, there are only a few target commissions that the Zoldyck family has explicitly refused to accept.

Niteró was clearly among them.

Strength is a very important standard for measurement.

For Silva, this commission was already a loss.

Although he hasn't given up, killing Julia is no longer as easy as he imagined.

In Silva's mind, this task was just not that easy.

After all, Julia isn't very strong.

"That's really troublesome. She's a subordinate I value highly. It seems there's no other way but to kill you." Lucci looked regretful.

Of course, this is not the truth, but a lie.

"So, are you ready to die?" Lucci asked.

He reappeared beside Silva, and now a knife was in Lucci's hand.

Lucci easily stabbed Silva.

This also caught Lucci's attention, because Silva did not stop them.

Lucci's illusions aren't like Tsukuyomi, which can control everything.

"It seems your abilities are insufficient to kill me." Silva smiled, seemingly pleased with the surprise on Lucci's face.

As the pain appeared, Silva immediately broke free from the illusion.

He was still standing by the window, looking at the situation on the highway in the distance. Apart from the police, the Conrad family members had already left.

Lucci's voice appeared once again.

"I never expected someone would actively try to break my ability in this way," Lucci exclaimed in admiration.

This time, it was Lucci himself who appeared in the room.

Looking at Silva, who remained steadfast by the window, seemingly ready to break through and escape at any moment.

He has two types of illusions. One is a purely mental illusion, which will make the person motionless once they are trapped in it.

The other one is linked to reality, affecting the five senses, similar to Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu.

The latter consumes more mental energy, but requires a higher level of skill in casting illusions. Some perceptive people can detect the difference.

Faced with Lucci's Sharingan genjutsu, one either has to wait for time, or be mentally strong enough, or endure Lucci's attacks to break free.

However, the latter is not guaranteed to succeed, and Lucci may not necessarily use illusion techniques to create an attack.

More likely, illusions are used as a secondary means to deceive the five senses, and then reality is used to attack, making it impossible to break free from the illusion.

What surprised Lucci was that Silva was able to find a solution so quickly.

"And it can also amplify one's own pain ability. Is this a secret technique of the Zoldyck family?" Lucci asked.

At this moment, Silva could sense the killing intent emanating from Lucci. If he dared to make a move, he would be met with a thunderous attack from Lucci.

Silva wasn't confident he could escape instantly, so he didn't make a move.

Of course, he was still thinking about and weighing what to do.

Lucci is definitely the strongest opponent Silva has ever faced since his debut; even his own father has never given him this sense of danger.

Lucci's spatial abilities allow him to call himself a "Hunter's Speed."

With the offensive and defensive effects of his Nen abilities, Lucci is not a highly agile assassin like Minato Namikaze.

So far, only Netero's Hundred Forms of Guanyin has managed to frustrate him.

She has a strong ability to teleport, but as long as there is a gap in her ability to use it, it is impossible to escape the Hundred-Style Guanyin.

Silva did not respond to Lucci's words.

They directly used their Nen energy to form "ropes" to bind Silva, giving him no chance to react.

He certainly couldn't actually kill Silva.

Putting aside the Zoldyck family issue, the fact that Silva is Killua's father is enough to prevent Lucci from taking action.

She is not the Virgin Mary of Lucci, but even though she has been influenced by him, many changes have occurred.

But some people still hoped that Lucci could appear, a special kind of affection.

The rope formed by Nen was not particularly strong, and it was not difficult for Silva to break free.

He tried to resist and break free using his own spiritual energy, but in that short time, the surrounding environment had already changed.

"His sudden departure was because of his mother?" Netero's voice came through.

And they set their sights on Silva.

"So it's the Zoldyck family kid." Netero didn't recognize Silva, but he instantly recognized him just by his aura.

After breaking free, Silva simply took a few steps back and continued the standoff.

Thinking to himself, it really is a spatial ability, and it seems to be the kind of spatial ability that doesn't have many restrictions.

Under normal circumstances, Silva would definitely observe the people around him and in front of him with his eyes.

But after being thwarted by Lucci, Silva instantly realized why he had been tricked and now dared not look Lucci in the eye.

Even Netero was the same.

"Is he here to assassinate you?" Netero asked.

He just found it very interesting.

The fight with Maha back then was also very interesting. The feeling of having to pay attention to everything around him at all times, like walking on thin ice, is something he still cherishes.

"Of course not, but his goal is somewhat related to me. The Zoldyck family is too troublesome, so I brought him here to ask for your opinion, Master," Lucci replied with a smile.

"Then play with me," Netero said directly.

It's been a long time since I've "played" with the Zoldyck family.

This will also allow him to see if this Zoldyck kid has some of Maha's skills.

Lucci then threatened Silva, "Don't even think about running away. You can't escape."

As he spoke, Lucci circled around Silva again, his eyes darting around as if he had thought of something interesting.

If KOF is already here, but there isn't a boss, it just feels like something's missing.

The person in front of me seems to be a very good candidate.

Silva didn't care about Lucci's threats; as long as he wasn't killed outright, he would run away whenever he had the chance.

As an assassin, he had plenty of patience.

Humans need to eat, sleep, and use the toilet; any opportunity presents a chance.

The slightly more troublesome thing is Lucci's spatial abilities.

If we can find the limitation on its ability, then escaping should not be difficult, and we might even be able to take advantage of its carelessness to turn the tables and kill it.

Unfortunately, what Silva didn't know was that Lucci's ability really had no limitations.

However, he soon lost interest in thinking about these things.

Because soon his body was completely ruined and he collapsed to the ground.

How can someone be so strong!

Silva's usually taut face finally gave way after his "play" with Netero, and he could no longer maintain his aloof expression.

"He's a bit stronger than when Nie Nuo was young."

Silva experienced some of the things his father had gone through with Netero.
