The Chapter get Retranslated
Silva was an assassin, and what assassins disliked most were unexpected situations that were out of their control.
Although such things happened frequently, and were more likely to occur at critical moments, he genuinely felt displeased by them.
"What's going on?"
Silva asked, his calm tone tinged with a hint of displeasure.
Zebro was very sensitive to this. Her next words would likely determine the severity of the punishment Young Master Illumi would receive upon returning home.
But Zebro was smiling at this moment. Why? Because Young Master Illumi was such a genius, and so endearing.
"After Young Master Illumi ascended to the 150th floor, three contestants from above the 150th floor approached him."
"They explicitly told Young Master Illumi to give up the upcoming matches and stop him from going to higher floors."
"Young Master Illumi naturally refused. The three naturally attacked, and then became three corpses."
"But the problem is, these three had a 200-level contestant as their backer. Young Master Illumi, having killed these three, was naturally targeted by that person and seen as a thorn in their side."
"Therefore, Young Master Illumi personally ascended to the 200th floor to kill him."
"And then, he personally killed him in a highly anticipated match."
Zebro subtly modified the events that happened to Illumi, narrating them gracefully.
Silva's brows remained furrowed after hearing Zebro's words. Although it sounded like a normal story of grudges and revenge, there were two illogical points.
They were not ordinary people; they were assassins. Even if they wanted to kill, there was no need to do so through a match, especially against a Nen user on the 200th floor.
Not only did Illumi kill the opponent, but he did so openly during a highly anticipated match. How did he defeat a Nen user?
However, since he had handled the loose ends himself and the incident had already occurred, Silva did not intend to pursue it further.
After all, everyone had their secrets. He had his, and Illumi had his.
Illumi, having undergone the brutal training of the Zoldyck family, would likely not be forced to reveal anything if he didn't want to.
Moreover, since the reason was known—that he didn't initially intend to defy his words, but did so due to other factors—there was no need to dwell on a minor flaw.
"I understand. Bring him back."
Silva's voice returned to its usual calm, and Zebro breathed a sigh of relief. Young Master Illumi had passed this hurdle.
"Yes, Young Master Silva."
Zebro replied cheerfully, but after responding, she reported again.
"Additionally, Young Master Illumi accepted an assassination request from the Kaiser Group."
"I estimate that Young Master Illumi will carry out the assassination of the target tonight."
Silva raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on his face. He hadn't expected Illumi to receive a commission on his first outing, and his business acumen was quite strong.
"I understand. You two keep an eye on him."
"Yes, Young Master Silva."
Zebro hung up the phone and nodded gently to Gotoh beside her.
Gotoh's expression was cold, a flash of white light glinting off his glasses as he looked up at the sky.
Tonight was a full moon.

Above this massive city enveloped in countless neon lights, a full moon hung in the night sky.
Moonlight draped like a veil.
Time: July 15, 00:01 AM.
Location: City outskirts, Saint Laurent Bay Villa District.
This was the most famous large-scale villa project in the Padokea Republic, with unique geographical advantages and mountain and sea resources, making it a rare piece of land in this city.
Illumi's assassination target was named Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald, a rising star in real estate, chairman of the Fitzgerald Group, and one of the top hundred groups in the Padokea Republic.
A month ago, the Fitzgerald Group secured a cooperative development project with the Quintoro municipal government, with a total investment value of 100 billion Jenny.
This renowned group chairman lived in one of the sea-view villas in this district, and to ensure quiet, he had also bought the three surrounding villas.
This made a large area nearby his own exclusive backyard.
"It's about time."
Illumi stood on a large tree, where he had been squatting for three hours, observing the situation.
A large number of leaves obscured his body. He looked up at the full moon hanging in the sky, then glanced at the brightly lit sea-view villa, and with a "swish," disappeared from his spot.
Fitzgerald was no simple character; he not only arranged a large number of security personnel around his villa but also had bodyguards and five hunting dogs inside his villa.
These five specially trained hunting dogs were familiar with the scents of everyone in the villa. As soon as they smelled anything different, they would bark frantically, alerting all security personnel.
The hunting dogs would also actively lead the way, tracking intruders based on scent.
However, what these people didn't know was that in this world, there was also a special ability called [Nen].
"Zetsu."
Illumi actively suppressed and isolated all his Aura. Not only did his presence become weak, but his scent was also difficult to detect.
"Silent Steps."
Illumi's figure transformed into a black shadow, rapidly weaving through the dark corners of the villa. Zetsu, combined with the Zoldyck family's Silent Steps, was truly a top-tier assassination technique.
"Swish!"
A sound of air being cut rang out.
"Hmm?"
A young bodyguard on duty seemed to hear something and looked back, but there was nothing there.
He frowned, feeling suspicious, and slowly walked towards where the sound came from, looking around on the grass, but still found nothing.
"What's wrong?"
Another bodyguard, three meters away, noticed his strange behavior and asked cautiously.
"Nothing."
The young bodyguard replied calmly, returning to his post. The two bodyguards stopped talking and continued to quietly stand guard at their positions, without a word.
"Such a sensitive person."
In a dark corner, Illumi stood pressed against the wall.
Just now, he had only stirred up an extremely subtle breeze as he passed by, yet it had still been detected.
"A person with considerable talent, what a pity."
Illumi looked up. From here, he would reach Fitzgerald's second-floor bedroom.
"Clang!"
Illumi's five fingers on both hands pressed together, and his nails lengthened sharply like blades unsheathing with a "clang."
"Puff..."
An extremely subtle sound, which attracted no one's attention.
Illumi spread his five fingers, curving them into the shape of dragon claws. His fingertips plunged into the hard wall with a "puff," like inserting them into tofu, and he slowly climbed upward without making a sound.
"Someone."
As he was about to climb to the second floor, he suddenly saw two bodyguards still patrolling on the second-floor balcony.
"Truly cautious, even guarding his own bedroom at all times."
"It seems I'll have to kill people other than the target."
"You earned two billion from my hand, Fitzgerald."
