Hunter x Hunter: The Zoldyck Family's Legendary Item Master

Chapter 98: Uvogin Buys Books X Operation Spider X This Case is in Danger!

"understood."

Suppressing his fluctuating emotions, Sean had accumulated a six-figure "reader feedback value" over the past nine years.

He has essentially mastered all the major and minor ninjutsu in the Naruto world. At the same time, aside from the fully unlocked [Wind], [Fire], and [Earth], Sean has also dabbled in [Water], [Metal], [Yin], and [Yang] to varying degrees.

Currently, we are in the stage of unlocking the [Water] trait by exchanging for the "Aokiji Template".

Thoughts raced as Sean accepted this week's "reader feedback score." He habitually reached for his phone, and unsurprisingly, a call came in from his editor, Nanako—no, he should call her Chief Editor, Nanako, now.

Thanks to discovering Sean, this amazing mentor, Ms. Nanako received a glorious promotion a few days ago, and even her voice became much sweeter: "Moses~ Is Moses the case teacher?"

"What have you thought about that matter I mentioned to you the other day?"

"The president, the editorial team, and I all sincerely hope that you can participate in the 3rd Anniversary Celebration of the End of Nakamaru Next Sunday."

"As a fan who is attending the event, I think I would faint with happiness if I could see you in person at the festival."

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare let them faint~" It's been three years already? Maybe it's time to show my face. Sean was in a daze for a moment. He didn't expect that so many years had passed while he was staying at home drawing comics. He glanced at the mountain scenery outside the window and realized that he really needed to go down the mountain for some exercise.

So he accepted Nanako's invitation to attend the closing ceremony next Sunday.

"That's fantastic, Mr. Case Study!" In the Bones editorial department, Nanako, sporting a striking short haircut, jumped up excitedly and immediately reported the good news to the editor-in-chief after hanging up the phone.

The president of Bones was very helpful, immediately making a decision to mobilize the entire company to start building momentum for the closing ceremony next Sunday!

Soon, thanks to the immense popularity of "Ninja Tune: The Movie" and Sean's ongoing serialization of "Pirate King," the connection to—

The news that "the teacher in this case will be attending the 3rd anniversary celebration of the completion of Naka de Ninja next Sunday at the library in the capital of the Republic of Padokia" spread like wildfire.

From the entire Republic of Batokia down to the smallest street corner, everyone was in an uproar!

Many manga fans even traveled from other continents, clamoring to participate. As a result, this week's "Pirate King" issue sold out. Indirectly, when Uvogin and Nobunaga walked into a manga store with Shizuku, the latest issue of "Pirate King" had already been sold for an "astronomical" price, completely exceeding their expectations!

"Damn it! Why is it more expensive again?"

"This guy in this case is obsessed with money! I used to admire him so much, but now it seems he's even more greedy than Machi!"

Uvogin was holding a copy of "The Pirate King" and flipped to the last page when he was dazzled by the price tag in the lower right corner of the cover.

50000 monks are almost equivalent to him eating a hundred bowls of pork chop rice.

However, "What's the use of money?" Nobunaga casually slung a katana over his shoulder and said indifferently, "Learn from Shizuku: if you can't afford it, just take it."

As expected of a child from Meteor City. The girl who followed Uvogin and Nobunaga into the bookstore silently headed straight for the shelf displaying "Pirate King," quickly pulled a burlap sack from her pocket, grabbed the latest chapter, and stuffed it full. Afterward, she again remained silent, as if she hadn't been there at all, and ran off. What a pity.

Do you really think the owner of that comic book store is blind?

The bald shop owner, wearing thick-rimmed black glasses, peeked out from behind the counter and called out, "Hey~ Miss, you haven't paid yet~"

The girl stopped in her tracks, tilted her head, and looked at Uvogin: "Do I have to pay to read comics? I didn't know that."

Wokin laughed and reached out to stop Little Drop behind him. Facing the bookstore owner, he said kindly, "Boss, this is too expensive. Why don't you make it cheaper?"

"Hey~ I thought I'd run into a fool." The bookstore owner breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sheepishly, saying, "Look, there aren't any new releases right now. These are all my private stashes. You think they're too expensive? I think they're too expensive too."

"Really?" Uvogin beckoned and pulled a copy of "Pirate King" from the sack that Little Shizuku was carrying, flipping through it. "But I feel like this is a pirated copy, boss."

"Bullshit! I've been running a bookstore for so many years, and this is the first time someone has pointed their finger at me and accused me of piracy." The bald boss's face instantly darkened, and he said unhappily, "Look at what you're saying, this is a legitimate comic book store, would I really sell you fake goods?"

What's the difference between genuine and fake products?

"I'm asking you, is this copy of 'The Pirate King' an original or a pirated copy?" Uvogin slammed the copy of "The Pirate King" heavily on the cashier's counter.

The glass of the cash register rattled with a "crack," startling the boss!

Even the bald boss, who might otherwise be slow on the uptake, finally realized what was going on and glared dangerously at Uvogin, saying, "Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

"Just tell me, are you buying or not?"

Uvogin chuckled: "If this is the real deal, of course we'll buy it."

Ha. Are you blind or stupid? I have this huge business license right here. Can't you read it yourself?

The bald shop owner couldn't take it anymore. He slammed his hand on the cash register and yelled, "Just tell me if you're buying or not! If not, put the books down and get out!"

Tsk~ Uvogin chuckled coldly, and with a "rip~" sound, he tore the Pirate King book in his hand in half right in front of the bald boss!

The bald boss's eyes instantly turned red. He pointed at Uvogin's nose and cursed, "You fucking tore up my book, didn't you?"

"So what if I tear it?" With a flick of his wrist, he smashed the One Piece torn in two pieces onto the bookstore owner's face. The owner cried out in pain, and before he could react, a fist the size of a bowl suddenly appeared in his sight, smashing his head into a bloody pulp like a watermelon being hit!

"Murder! Murder!" Screams rang out from the comic book store and surrounding shops. Hearing the commotion, people peeked out and were instantly thrown into chaos.

"Hahaha~" Uvogin, having finished killing the man, didn't seem to care at all, laughing loudly and flicking away the blood and foam that had stained the back of his hand. He turned his head to look at Shizuku: "Shizuku, there's no need to bring 'Pirate King' anymore, we can just read what's readily available from now on!"

Looking at her innocent and naive appearance, Xiao Di adjusted her glasses on her nose and asked, "How can you see something that's already there?"

"Of course, tie him up and make him draw for us every day!" Nobunaga then bent down and picked up the piece of "Pirate King" that had fallen into the pool of blood. He opened the last page and saw a line of large, dark characters branded on the colorful page—

"Breaking news—On December 7th, our teacher will be a guest at the Library of the Capital of the Republic of Badochia, where he will sign autographs for fans in attendance and randomly select ten lucky fans to have a photo taken with him."

Look, here comes the opportunity!

My lungs are feeling a bit uncomfortable again today, so I'm going to bed early.

I owe you all two chapters, which I will make up for in the next two days.

Therefore, I need to write 8000 words in the next two days.

Here, Pig apologizes to everyone, thank you so much~

Chapter 99: Three-Colored Haki Acquired, Admiral Aokiji Unlocked

[Recently, several robbery and murder cases have occurred in our city.]

[A reminder to all citizens]

Stay away from places of trouble. If you sense anything amiss, report it to the police immediately. Do not act rashly.

[The following is a photo of the perpetrator as a warning.]

Having grown tired of H-manga novels over the years, and after being secretly mocked by the girls for his poor performance during his last trip down the mountain, the old man was heartbroken. After much agonizing, he decided to move the television directly into Sean's bedroom when he got home. He spends his free time listening to the TV while sleeping in his rocking chair.

Fortunately, the Zoldyck family castle is quite grand, and Sean's room is large enough that he can occasionally glance at the news while eating, which is a good way to pass the time.

While having lunch served by Wutong, Sean and Maha casually glanced at the murderer's photo; Uvogin and Nobunaga were familiar faces.

The old man didn't recognize Xiao Di, but that didn't stop Maha from glancing at Sean and mockingly saying, "You brat, you're aiding and abetting evil, aren't you? If you hadn't gone to Meteor Street and dealt with those human traffickers back then, these little brats wouldn't be alive today."

"Can't even eating shut you up, you idiot?" Sean put a spoonful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in his mouth and said expressionlessly, "You know better than I what kind of people kids from Meteor City are. A leopard can't change its spots. Since they're willing to eat shit, what does it have to do with me?"

“Hmm, that makes sense.” Maha picked up a piece of shredded potato with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he suddenly changed the subject and said, “Those brats from Meteor City have nothing to do with you, but they took the opportunity to go down the mountain to participate in the Hunter Exam. Surely that has something to do with you now?”

The old man swallowed the shredded potatoes and said irritably, "Don't play dumb with me. That kid Netero calls every other day. Does he really think I'm deaf?"

"Bullshit hunter test, you're not allowed to go!"

This is outrageous! They actually think of Mah's grandson as a reserve member of his Hunter Association?

That's just how Netero is. If it were anyone else calling, the old man would be guaranteed not to see the sun rise tomorrow.

However, "Killua can go, Illumi can go, so why can't I?" Sean ignored the old man's verbal warning, slowly rinsed his mouth with the fresh chicken soup, spat into the trash can that Wutong handed him, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't worry, Jiji~"

"I have no interest in hunters; even if I go, it's just for fun."

"Firstly, I had already promised Netero; secondly, it's to broaden my horizons and gain more knowledge, that's all."

"Really?" Maha glanced at him.

Sean: "More real than the real thing."

"Shinko, what is that?"

"do not know."

Sean laughed mischievously, took the napkin from Wutong, wiped his mouth, pushed back his chair, called Wutong over, slung his fishing gear over his shoulder, and with a leap, flew into the sky.

"Moonwalk?" The old man's eyes flashed, and he chuckled and scolded, "You arrogant brat, I didn't expect you to have even mastered the 'Six Styles'."

"It's probably not just the 'Six Styles'," said Zeno, his white hair swaying wildly. After Wutong followed Sean away, Zeno appeared with his hands behind his back, seemingly unconcerned. Ten years had passed, and the dog's back looked even more hunched. He skillfully served himself a bowl of rice and began eating the leftovers on the table.

“Grandpa, Sean’s Wind ability was already fully developed ten years ago, so it’s not surprising that he can do Moonwalk. There’s no need to make a fuss about it.”

"If you're going to eat, then don't talk!" Maha yelled, nearly shoving Zeno's old face into the rice with a large slap. "Who gave you the nerve to talk to me like that?!"

"You bastard, it's been ten years, and you haven't refused to see Sean even once. What's wrong with you?"

"I gave you ten years, and you still weren't ready?"

"Cough cough~" Geno pulled his face out of the bowl in a disheveled state, his face covered in rice grains, which was sticky and uncomfortable. He immediately complained, "Grandpa, that's not reasonable. Do you think it's because I don't want to see you?"

"That brat has mastered the art of using Haki, and now, thanks to 'Pirate King,' he's also mastered all three types of Haki. He probably spotted me a long time ago."

"If you don't believe me, shout twice, and I guarantee he's eavesdropping!"

"I'll call you grandma's leg!" Maha slapped Geno again: "You think I'm a dog, barking like that?"

Geno: "."

She covered her face in grievance and muttered, "I didn't say you were a dog."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft chuckle suddenly broke in. Maha and Zeno: "."

At the same time, looking out the window, a gentle breeze carried a message that floated in lightly: "Don't look at me, I didn't hear anything."

Beside a small lake deep in the mountains, Sean smiled, a fishing rod in hand. Wutong, squatting nearby, was preparing bait and looked over in surprise at the sound. The young master, nearly three meters tall, like a small mountain, sat cross-legged fishing, tilting his head and winking at him, saying, "Nothing~ just saw two old dogs biting each other."

Wutong: "?"

He glanced around, puzzled, and said, "There's no old dog here. Could it be that the young master is mistaken?"

Sean smiled without saying a word. His Observation Haki spread out in the blink of an eye, accompanied by a gentle breeze, forming a huge, transparent Nen shield that descended upon the entire Kukuro Mountain, including the Zoldyck family castle at the summit, the butler's manor halfway up the mountain, and the young Kanaria, now a beautiful young woman, waiting at the mountain path, as well as the old security guard, Jurobu, who had recently retired from the butler's manor. Every single one of them was seen by Sean.

Naturally, Zeno could not escape Sean's notice.

But some things are better left unsaid, even if you see them clearly. The boy flicked his arm, and the fishing rod, trailing a dark line imbued with "Armament Haki," swiftly disappeared into the water, chasing after the fish.

The notification sound of "The Sage" echoed in Sean's mind—

Capture the ripples, listen to the heart of water, feel the rhythmic nature of water—water is being explored.

The "Aokiji" template for Admiral Aokiji is now unlocked.

Current unlock progress: 57%.
