Hunter x Hunter: The Strongest Zoldyck

"In no mood!"

Without a second's hesitation, Roy refused.

He only wanted to escape on his own; he didn't trust any other means. He only trusted himself.

Because the Zoldyck family's second ironclad rule: if you want to get something, you have to pay the corresponding price.

So... there's definitely a trap here.

Luo Yi thought to himself.

"hehe....."

"My dear brother, do you think I'm discussing this with you?"

As soon as the word "quantity" faded, the entire passage suddenly began to dim and gloomy in Roy's eyes.

Only the blurry light before my eyes could barely outline the shapes of things.

What is that?

It looks a bit like a peach...

Roy unconsciously moved closer.

The closer you are, the clearer the light becomes.

Until the bright light regained his vision, he suddenly saw what was in front of him!

A bright red heart was beating rhythmically in Illumi's hand.

Thump... Thump... Thump...

*Thud... thud...*

But gradually, the heart rate began to slow down, first to one beat per breath, then slowly to one beat every two breaths...

Three breaths, one leap... and finally...

It stopped!!!

At the same time, a sharp, piercing pain suddenly shot through Roy's chest.

He subconsciously looked down...

On the left side of his chest, there was a wound the size of a bowl running from front to back, completely empty!

Empty and desolate?

Empty?!

Where is my heart?

My heart was ripped out?!

Roy was initially puzzled, but he quickly understood the situation.

What Illumi holds in his hand is his own heart.

The Zoldyck's advanced assassination technique... a live snake ripped out of its heart?!

Am I going to die?

die.....

I'm going to die....

When Roy realized he was about to die, he suddenly felt himself lose consciousness.

He slowly woke up when a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"How does death feel, Roy...?"

Huff... Huff... Huff...

Without a chance to reply, the moment he awoke, he began to gasp for breath as if he were a drowning person breaking the surface of the water.

Just now......

He truly felt like he was already dead...

After a few breaths, Roy began to calm down and was no longer so panicked.

He reached out his right hand and pressed it against his left chest, feeling his heart pounding rapidly and energetically.

He touched the exposed skin again; it was warm and soft, with no wounds, as if nothing had happened.

So... it was just an illusion?

Once he was sure he was still alive, Roy suddenly stood up, gathered his strength in his right hand, and fiercely slapped Illumi across the face.

Snapped!

The crisp, loud sound of a slap echoed throughout the tunnel.

At this moment, the wind stopped, breathing stopped, and even the thoughts of the sycamore trees ceased.

He feared that the ironclad rule that Zoldyck family members must not kill each other would be broken in the next second.

Twisting her stiff neck, Wutong unleashed her full power, preparing to do everything in her power to rescue Luo Yi.

I wonder if it will be enough time?

He looked nervously towards where Illumi and Roy were.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the passageway became increasingly dangerous and oppressive.

Everything is spiraling out of control...

Just as Wutong was about to be forced to make the first move due to this pressure.

Illumi's smile broke the somber atmosphere.

"You're not quite hitting the mark, Roy."

Wiping away the trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, he calmly said:

"However, consider this my apology..."

Is Zoldyck's apology really that hardcore?

As expected of the Zoldycks.

In fact, Roy regretted it as soon as he made the move.

He genuinely had no idea what else this pervert might do.

It felt good when I was hitting it, no, that's not right, it felt really good!

After all, not everyone can experience the thrill of slapping Illumi.

Even if he dies now, he won't have lost out.

However... if he could stay alive, he wouldn't want to experience that kind of pleasure.

Life is everything.

Sigh, it's all because I'm not capable enough and I acted impulsively.

Fine, so be it.

Just as Roy was preparing for death, closing his eyes and waiting to be slaughtered, Illumi's attitude just now overturned his thoughts, and he instantly knew that he would not die.

And when he understood this.

He suddenly found Illumi much more pleasing to the eye, and that perverted and morbid gaze didn't seem so unacceptable anymore.

"Ha ha....."

Roy gave an awkward laugh:

"Big brother, tell me what kind of mission it is. Wherever my younger brother is needed, I... will do my duty without hesitation."

If you lack strength, you must lie low and avoid his sharp edge. Wait until the third day of the third month next year, when my flowers bloom and all others wither.

Roy secretly grumbled to himself.

"A very simple task: kill the pests."

"Kill Spider Number Four, codenamed Shadow."

As Illumi spoke, he tossed out a photo.

The photo is yellowish, about the size of a palm, and the shadows of people in the photo are reflected under the dim lighting.

With long, silver-gray hair, medium build, and dressed in black, he was slender and gave off a gloomy and mysterious impression.

He has a spider tattoo on his left palm, a white bandage wrapped around his right hand, and a lip ring on his left lip. His overall features are distinctive and easily recognizable.

Hmm... Roy took the photo and examined it carefully.

Spider? Tattoo?

He felt like he'd heard of this person somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place them in his memory.

Spider...spider...spider.....

spider!

A bolt of lightning flashed through Roy's mind, dispelling the memories shrouded in mist.

It's the Phantom Troupe!!!

Archer (Red A) is a wanted criminal in the Hunter x Hunter world, and he has the Phantom Troupe's tattoos!

He remembered...

The Phantom Troupe is codenamed after a spider, and each member represents a leg of a spider.

The team members don't usually see each other; they only come together to work when there is a mission.

But... is this person even in the Phantom Troupe? He doesn't seem to remember him.

Roy racked his brains trying to recall the plot of Hunter x Hunter.

Various fragments of memories come flooding back... Gon, Killua, Chrollo, Hisoka, Feitan... Nobunaga, Uvogin.

Countless names and storylines flashed through his mind... disappearing and recurring.

But none of these people seemed to match the face in front of them.

so.....

A hypothesis popped into Roy's mind.

Was this person killed before the story even began?

Was he killed by Illumi?

No, that's not right... Number 4... Number 4...

This seems to be... Hisoka's digital code in the Phantom Troupe later on, meaning this person was originally going to die at his hands.

If I kill him, according to the Phantom Troupe's rules, I will replace the Shadow and become the Troupe's fourth member.

In other words... he might be facing the most elite thief in the hunter world...

There was a purple cross tattoo on his forehead!

The one wearing blue earrings... Kuroro Lucilfer!!!

Below the world's five greatest Nen users, this is the top Nen user among this small group of people!

Chrollo Lucilfer, leader of the Phantom Troupe!

In addition, he may also face assassination attempts by Hisoka the Clown in the future.

This is a fighter in the Hunter world whose strength is a mystery, unpredictable, and abnormal.

An assassination allegedly carried out by an Apple enthusiast?
