"This is the other half of the reward."
Kai arranged for someone to carry several large boxes of jewels on the back of the dragon-shaped beast.
With Silva and Zeno on the scene, the end of the battle came the quickest.
According to their descriptions, the two masters of the Zoldyck family did not act with them.
Instead, they left early.
By the time the main force arrived on the scene, more than half of the enemy had already been slaughtered.
The old man, Zeno, is very skilled, and his strikes are ruthless.
He is like a poisonous snake, moving swiftly through the crowd.
Wherever he goes, the opponent's heart inexplicably vanishes.
When Killua uses the Heart Picking Hand, he has to change the shape of his fingers.
The old man, however, only needs to caress the opponent lightly, and their heart disappears.
From this, we can tell that their levels are far from comparable.
Silva's fighting style is entirely different from Zeno's.
He prefers direct attacks.
Although he is a Conjurer, Silva's speed, physical strength, poison resistance, and overall strength are all at the highest levels.
His hands condense something similar to Nen bullets.
The power is as destructive as a high-explosive bomb.
"The two of them together, I wonder if they could assassinate Chairman Netero?" Kai thought.
Kai had always been unclear about the full extent of these two individuals' power.
In his opinion, logically speaking, the combination of Silva and Zeno could definitely rank among the world's top fighters.
After all, the Zoldyck family is the number one assassin family in the world of Hunter x Hunter.
They are not the kind to hide in the shadows and remain unseen.
Instead, they are a prominent family, and even their location has become a tourist attraction!
The top fighters from this family—
If they weren't strong, no one would believe it.
However, in the original story, neither Silva nor Zeno teamed up to kill Chrollo.
"Was the leader really that strong at the time?" Kai wondered.
But if the leader was that powerful, why did he need to use all those tricks to kill Hisoka?
"I wonder if that old fellow, Fu Jian, after playing mahjong all night, missed something in his logic. It's hard to explain," Kai muttered to himself.
No one knew it, but in just a short while, so many strange thoughts flashed through Kai's mind.
"This is the Fairy Bean. I must remind you that this is a healing medicine, but it cannot bring the dead back to life."
"If someone is dead, eating more of these beans won't help!"
"Also, if the person has a disease, such as a terminal illness like heart disease or cancer, it won't have much effect."
Kai handed a small bag of Fairy Beans to Silva.
In the "Dragon Ball" saga, Goku was once tortured by a viral heart disease, and even Fairy Beans couldn't help him.
However, it's uncertain if the rules of the world have changed here.
The Fairy Beans are not as magical in the Hunter x Hunter world as they are in the world of Dragon Ball.
Their effectiveness seems to be significantly reduced.
The most obvious difference is that even after consuming Fairy Beans, one still feels hungry.
Silva nodded.
To him, the limitations Kai mentioned weren't flaws at all.
With everything settled, the task was complete.
"Happy cooperation!" Kai said.

The dragon beast took off.
"Father, what did the kid mean by that last phrase?" Silva frowned, somewhat confused. "What is a 'real killer' who can kill anything?"
Zeno pondered what Kai had said carefully.
He didn't fully understand either.
However, upon further reflection, it seemed to make sense.
For many years, the Zoldyck family had killed countless people—high-ranking officials, elites, civilians, even infants.
Killing had become second nature to them.
"Aside from killing people, monsters, what else can killers kill?" Zeno mused.
He felt uneasy.
Looking into the distance, he sensed that, in the near future, Kai might bring about some change to the Zoldyck family.
But whether that change would be good or bad, he couldn't tell.
After seeing off Zoldyck and his son, Kai let out a sigh of relief.
Although their relationship was one of cooperation, the Zoldyck family's reputation was well-known.
He had to admit that being around such powerful individuals—people who could kill without hesitation—put a lot of pressure on him.
"Improving my strength is urgent!" Kai thought to himself.
Everything else was put aside for the time being.
After delegating the matter of Meteor Street to his subordinates, he greeted Machi and the others.
Kai shut himself in his room.
"In terms of physical attack, [Hundred Style Shura] has a lot of room for improvement, both in terms of effect and potential. I just need to follow the established path."
"If I change the attack method, it would mean giving up all the research and effort I've put in until now."
"Without changing the attack method, if I want to continue increasing my strength, I must either add attributes or focus on the energy reserves."
"The modified [Hundred Style Shura] compensates for the defense flaws of Chairman Netero's technique, so defense is not an immediate concern."
"If I add attributes..."
Kai activated the deduction function of [Virtual Reality].
After more than ten minutes, the energy around Kai's body gradually settled.
Deduction Results:
1. Find ways to store more energy.
2. Find ways to increase speed.
3. Focus on spatial attributes.
Kai's face darkened slightly as he thought.
The first method undoubtedly had the most direct effect.
It likely wouldn't be too difficult to develop such a Nen.
It would allow Kai to embody more and kill three birds with one stone—a good choice!
The second method Kai considered was the electric Nen.
Similar to Killua's [Speed].
Electric Nen has many advantages, such as activating cells, increasing movement and attack speed, and accelerating the growth of gourmet cells through electric stimulation.
Moreover, in the Hunter x Hunter world, there is a form of resentment called "resentment."
It's a powerful form of Nen that manifests after death, with terrifying effects.
"To deal with something like ghost power, using electricity should be quite effective," Kai mused.
Lightning in the palm, thunderbolts from above—Kai could think of many examples.
The third method was, of course, spatial abilities.
No matter which world you're in, spatial abilities are extremely powerful.
Teleportation, spatial tearing, spatial barriers... Spatial abilities are a kind of "panacea."
Kai certainly wanted to obtain such a Nen.
However, it was evident that developing such a power was as difficult as it was effective.
If he chose this path, his strength wouldn't increase significantly in the short term.
"If the issue is energy volume, my body is still in the developmental stage. For now, it's enough."
"Space attributes are too difficult. It's safer to wait for my growth abilities to develop slowly until I stabilize."
"It seems the only option left is the second method!"
Kai's eyes sharpened.
Electric Nen belongs to the [Conjurer] category, and Killua had received electric shock training for a long time to gain this ability.
For Kai, with [Virtual Reality], of course, it wouldn't be as troublesome.
"Pikachu cells, thunder fruit cells, thunder shadow cells..."
"Confirm Restriction: Unavailable!"
Kai had previously figured out a trick. When realized, the "unusable" restriction could be set.
This would significantly reduce energy consumption.
For now, all he needed were samples for further research and deduction.
