Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 169: Ilmi, the Desperate One
The "family bond" of the Zoldyck family cannot be explained by common sense.

It is the same concept as the Zoldyck family, although deformed, it is also unique and solid.

Family is the most important thing to them.

Despite this, disagreements often arise within the Zoldyck family.

For example, the case of Moreau and Curt.

Geno thought it was appropriate to give Kurt some freedom.

Silva is inclined to accept Moreau's presence and make him a part of Kurt's training.

Ji Qiu wants to solve the source directly and make Moro disappear from this world.

Illumi's opinion agrees with Kijou. This is not the first time he has done something like "cleaning up friends".

Mi Ji had heard about this matter and said that he would support whoever bought him the latest Magical Girl Moon action figure.

As for Maha...

He started to live in seclusion a long time ago and never interfered in any family affairs.

But this time he intervened.

And he showed up in person.

He simply mobilized the terrifying murderous intent that had been condensed over a long period of time, and forcibly diverted the attention of Moro and Ilmi, who were about to fight each other life and death in the next moment.

The reason why Ilmi forcibly stopped the attack was not entirely because he later realized that the source of the murderous intent was Maha.

Rather, Maha's terrifying murderous intent conveyed an extremely clear message to him during their encounter -

If you don't stop, you will die.

There was no hint of joking, revealing a sense of coldness and toughness.

Therefore, in a battle that requires a high degree of mental concentration, Ilmi would never joke with his own life. He followed his instinctive judgment and forcibly stopped at the critical moment.

The situation faced by Moro is similar to that of Ilmi.

At the same time, like Ilmi, he was puzzled by Maha's move.

Judging from the timing when Maha released his murderous intent, he was obviously already there.

But Moro and Ilmi were completely unaware of his presence.

Moro turned his eyes away from Maha and glanced at Ilmi.

Because of the appearance of this old monster, Ilmi has completely restrained his murderous intent at this moment. He no longer has the reckless attitude as before, but has become extremely well-behaved and honest.

"Is it because of Kurt..."

Moreau then thought of this possibility.

In other words, only this possibility can allow Maha to show up at the critical moment.

And judging from the time when Ilmi appeared, Moro had reason to speculate that Kurt was most likely under the control of Kijo.

And after seeing the text message he sent to Kurt, Ji Qiu mobilized Ilmi without hesitation to deal with him.

In order to stop Kijo and Illumi from doing this, Kurt asked Maha to come out.

In just a few moments.

Moreau roughly figured out the whole story.

Otherwise he couldn't think of any other possibilities.

It can't be because of the big-eyed frog sunglasses that Maha has put on his face, right?
Moro looked at Maha in silence.

In just a short while, Maha had already taken out other big-eyed frog peripheral products from the "wild canvas bag".

He acted as if he didn't care about anything else, as if the terrifying murderous intent just now had nothing to do with him at all.

Ilmi frowned.

His mental reaction was no slower than Moreau's.

My great-grandfather, who never interfered with family affairs, unexpectedly showed up and took action...

He was confused at first, and the next person he could think of was Kurt.

If there are differences of opinion within the family, or if the opinions are not yet unified, everyone can only use their own means to strengthen the weight of their own opinions.

Then what he and Ji Qiu did was to solve the problem directly at the source before the matter was finally decided.

In order to prevent this from happening, Kurt had to force Maha to intervene.

"In order to save his life, you would go to such lengths..."

Realizing that it was Kurt's fault, Ilmi thought silently in his heart: "Mom is right, this person's existence has 'affected' Kurt, and he must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Even though he wanted to do it, he no longer had the chance to take action against Moreau in front of his great-grandfather who had already expressed his position.

"Great-great-grandfather."

Ilmi then came up to Maha and greeted him softly.

Maha looked up at Ilmi, then took out a big-eyed frog children's watch from the canvas bag. Under Ilmi's incredulous gaze, he put the big-eyed frog watch on Ilmi's wrist.

"..."

Ilmi looked down at the green watch with two big eyeballs on it on his wrist, his face looking a little stiff.

"Thank you, great-grandfather."

"Hoohoo."

Maha took a look at the big-eyed frog watch on Ilmi's wrist, nodded with satisfaction, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and squatted down to search in the canvas bag.

"..."

Ilmi watched his great-grandfather's reaction and actions, and couldn't imagine what else his great-grandfather could find in the canvas bag. The only thought in his mind was to turn around and run away.

But he didn't dare.

Maha quickly took out a big-eyed frog hat from the canvas bag.

On top of the green hat are a pair of lively big black eyes.

Judging from the texture alone, it is top-notch among the many peripheral products of Big Eye Frog.

Maha held the big-eyed frog hat and just slowly raised his head to look at Ilmi.

Ilmi's cheek twitched. Since he couldn't run away, he could only obey his great-grandfather's wishes. He immediately knelt down with a look of despair to make it easier for his great-grandfather to put his hat on him.

Maha then put the green big-eyed frog hat on Ilmi's head.

"Well……"

Maha took a step back, raised his hand to his chin, and looked carefully at the big-eyed frog-like hat on Ilmi's head. His narrow eyes revealed a look of even more fondness.

"really not bad."

That dry and low voice could not conceal the satisfaction in the tone.

Ilmi's eyes seemed to lose focus, and he could only say thank you: "Thank you, great-grandfather."

"Hoohoo."

Maha smiled.

Moro, on his side, looked at the scene with astonishment, then took out his cell phone and took a picture of Ilmi.

Naturally, his actions could not be hidden from Ilmi and Maha.

When Ilmi saw that Moro took the photo with his mobile phone, the murderous intent that he had just suppressed suddenly burst out like a spring.

But Maha only gave him a light glance, and Ilmi had no choice but to suppress his murderous intent.

After suppressing Ilmi with his eyes, Maha walked towards Moro.

But after he took two steps, he turned around, picked up the canvas bag on the ground and hung it on his body, then walked towards Moro again.

Coming in front of Moro, Maha looked Moro up and down.

In response to Maha's behavior, Moro quickly retracted his mental energy, maintained the "entanglement" state, and completely let down his guard.

If Maha wanted to kill him, one finger would be enough.

Therefore, there is no point in being vigilant and on guard. It is better to face any possibility that follows with the most peaceful and relaxed attitude.

But in order to avoid the possibility that Maha might suddenly want to give him some Big Eyed Frog peripheral products...

Moro glanced at the canvas bag that Maha had worn when he came over, and said decisively, "I have one at home, thank you."

Upon hearing this, Maha's gaze, which was examining Moro, paused slightly, and then he grinned.

For a moment, he looked somewhat like a big-eyed frog.

“These things are all new.”

Without paying much attention to Morrow's words, Maha instead patted the canvas bag hanging on his body.

Morrow nodded and said, "Yeah, actually it's not even on the market yet."

"No wonder."

Maha suddenly realized, and did not ask the origin of these things, but slowly said: "I accepted the things for Kurt."

"it is good."

Moro's face was as calm as water, but there was a strange feeling in his heart, and he thought of many things inexplicably.

But after seeing Maha simply turn around, only one of his many thoughts remained.

"Thank you." "You should thank yourself, not me or Kurt."

Maha did not stop but walked straight towards the trial gate. No emotion could be heard in his dry and low voice.

Moro was stunned for a moment, watching Maha's back in silence, and soon understood the meaning of Maha's words.

From the moment Ilmi took action, Maha had been watching in the dark.

So he could have stepped in early to stop Ilmi's disrespectful behavior, but he didn't do so.

Instead, he waited until he was ready to fight Ilmi with a bayonet, and then he suddenly attacked without warning, forcibly ending the fight.

That is to say-

"Even if I agree to Kurt's request, I have to see if I have enough 'strength' first..."

Moro thought silently in his heart.

If his strength was not enough to compete with Ilmi, Maha would probably watch him die at the hands of Ilmi in the dark.

Very realistic and cold.

But who can condemn this practice?

In the world of killers, strength has always been one of the most important criteria.

Not to mention the existence of the Zoldyck family.

Moreau understood Maha's approach and attitude.

"Thank you anyway, not only for me but also for Curt."

Moro looked at Maha's back and suddenly spoke again.

Hearing Moro's words, Maha paused for a moment, but did not respond and continued to walk towards the trial gate.

But a trace of nostalgia with complex emotions flashed across his narrow eyes.

Once upon a time, something similar happened.

Maha thought of the duel between Morro and Ilmi, and how Morro could resist his targeted, merciless murderous aura with only a small amount of mental energy to protect his body...

"Ho."

Maha's mouth curled up and never closed.

rumble--

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or a special occasion to welcome Maha.

When Maha approached the trial gate, the huge and heavy stone door was pushed open from the inside.

A total of seven stone doors were opened to Maha.

The person who pushed the door was none other than Tomoe, the current chairman of the Zoldyck family.

Behind him were Ji Qiu, Ke Te, Zi Po Nian, and Mi Ji, who rarely came out to watch the fun.

When everyone saw Maha coming over, they all greeted him respectfully.

Maha nodded to everyone, then walked through the trial gate on his own.

But when passing by Kurt, Maha stopped deliberately, took out the latest big-eyed frog headband from the canvas bag, and put it on Kurt's little head.

"Little Kurt, your friend reminds me of someone."

"what?"

Kurt was stunned for a moment.

By the time I reacted and wanted to ask, Maha had already walked away.

The seemingly slow pace is actually very fast.

Several people nearby also heard Maha's words and had different reactions. They could only look at Ilmi outside.

Then they saw Ilmi wearing a green big-eyed frog plush hat and a big-eyed frog children's watch.

"..."

"..."

"..."

There was an eerie silence in the venue.

rumble--

The rebounding sound of the Trial Gate broke the strange atmosphere.

Shiba had a domineering look on his face, and seemed to be completely unaffected by the big-eyed frog hat on Ilmi's head.

However, Ji Qiu noticed that Ilmi looked miserable and seemed to be injured, and he couldn't help but frown.

Mi Ji looked at Yilmi's appearance at this moment, his chubby white face suddenly twisted, he wanted to laugh but it was very difficult to hold it back.

And Kurt's reaction was pure shock.

Faced with the various reactions of his family members, Ilmi lowered his eyes and remained silent.

No one spoke.

Finally, it was Kurt who broke the deadlock. He quickly came to Ilmi and asked, "Brother, are you hurt?"

"No."

Ilmi, who had lost all hope in life, denied it flatly.

"Oh, all right."

Upon hearing this, Kurt simply walked past Ilmi and ran straight towards Moro.

"?"

Ilmi turned around and looked at Kurt who was running away, and a trace of regret flashed in his dark eyes.

click!
Just then, the sound of a camera shutter was heard.

Yilmi looked in the direction of the shutter sound and saw Mi Ji hurriedly hiding his phone, his eyes suddenly became cold.

Mi Ji thought to himself, "Oh no! I actually forgot to turn off the shutter sound of my cell phone camera."

In a panic, he saw Ilmi walking towards him quickly with a cold face, and his fat body suddenly tensed up.

Shiba, Jiqiu and Ziponian ignored Mi Ji and just watched Kurt run to Moro.

What Maha said just now is actually equivalent to his opinion in this matter.

Under the silent attention of several people, Kurt looked at Morrow's mouth full of blood, feeling both self-blame and worry.

"Is it seriously injured?"

"It's a minor problem, and I've almost recovered."

Moro stretched his whole body casually, signaling Kurt not to worry.

The enhanced recovery ability of Duocui Feixing did recover most of his injuries, but the blood remaining on his body made him look a little serious.

If we only talk about injuries, Ilmi, who was affected by the Flying Star of Fraud, was not much better than him.

"Ah."

Kurt looked at Morrow's stretching movements and realized that he was not just trying to show off, so he felt relieved.

I originally thought that with my great-grandfather stepping in, he would be able to stop the incident from happening immediately.

I didn’t expect that I still missed it.

Kurt couldn't help but blame himself for not thinking of asking his great-grandfather for help sooner.

Moro suddenly said, "It should be okay now, right?"

"what?"

Kurt didn't react for a moment.

Moro smiled and said, "I have a long-term commission and would like to ask for your help."

"..."

Kurt finally understood and nodded without hesitation. Then he thought of something and said softly, "The fee for long-term entrustment will be higher."

After saying that, he took a few steps closer to Moro and lowered his voice:

"I'm afraid my parents won't agree, so I can't mess around with the price anymore."

"what."

Moreau laughed out loud.

far away.

Although Kurt spoke in a low voice, it could not escape the ears of Shiba, Jiqiu and Ziponian.

A picture of Maha Zoldyck.

Comic storyboard for the Ants chapter.

When I was writing this plot, this scene appeared in my mind.

I originally wanted to write about a similar feeling, but then I felt it was unnecessary, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
