The Chapter get Retranslated
After listening to Illumi's explanation, Silva closed his eyes in thought.
After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"I don't care if what you said is true or false."
"But you must remember, you are a member of the Zoldyck family."
Silva looked directly into Illumi's eyes, as if to imprint these words into his vision.
Illumi closed his eyes and smiled. He knew that Silva didn't believe his words at all, and no one present would truly believe his story.
But he was still a member of the Zoldyck family, and the Zoldyck family chose to be tolerant.
"I understand."
Illumi opened his eyes and smiled.
"Then, may I return to my room?"
Silva stared at Illumi, and after a moment, nodded gently.
"You've worked hard, go and rest."
With Silva's permission, Illumi turned and walked towards the door, leaving alone.
"Illumi wasn't telling the truth, why did you let him go?"
Kikyo looked at Silva, her tone clearly displeased. She particularly didn't want Illumi to escape her control.
Silva looked at the chirping birds and fragrant flowers in the courtyard outside the door, Illumi's receding figure slowly disappearing from his sight, and said in a deep voice.
"It's no use, Illumi won't talk."
His words made Kikyo frown, biting her lip, feeling unwilling.
"You also shouldn't always try to keep him by your side."
Silva looked at Kikyo, his tone low, and said.
"Illumi is unique. Compared to ordinary children, he had his own ideas very early on."
"Every one of his actions, every behavior, is purposeful."
"He cannot be controlled by anyone or any force."
Illumi walked alone in the Zoldyck family's back mountain park, looking up at the green leaves overhead that blocked the sunlight. Occasionally, a gentle breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, creating waves of green.
"Next, it's time to awaken my Nen ability."
He thought for a moment. The first thing to do now was to awaken his Nen ability. He had mastered the Four Major Principles of Nen, so it was time to awaken his Nen ability.
The Four Major Principles didn't need to be completely perfected; as long as the practitioner could freely activate them, that was enough. To completely master them required years of continuous practice and accumulation.
However, Nen training wasn't just about the basics; awakening a Nen ability early was extremely beneficial to an individual.
A Nen ability was like a gun; a person with a gun and a person without one were not on the same level of threat.
Without awakening a Nen ability, even if a person trained the basics of Nen to the extreme, they would only be wearing a bulletproof vest.
Having only a shield but no spear posed no threat at all. Moreover, some spears could bypass shield defenses and directly attack.
Illumi walked and pondered. Soon, a pavilion appeared ahead.
In the park's pavilion, there was a stone table with a complete tea set: sandalwood teacups, a teapot, a tea tray, and so on.
"Could this be Zeno Zoldyck's tea set?"
Illumi thought to himself, his lips curving. He sat on the stone stool, picked up a sandalwood teacup, placed it in front of him, and then lifted the hot water bottle to fill it with water.
"Swish!"
A leaf drifted down. Illumi's right arm flashed, and the leaf was already clasped between his index and middle fingers.
"I'll borrow this for a moment."
He gently placed the leaf into the teacup, letting it float on the water.
Illumi cupped the sandalwood teacup with both hands, and the Aura on his body slowly released, enveloping the teacup.
"Hiss hiss..."
The leaf in the teacup, with a faint "hissing" sound, started to emit black smoke, and then suddenly split into seven parts.
"Hiss hiss..."
It wasn't over yet. The seven split leaves smoked again, but this time they emitted seven different colored smokes. The smoke gradually dispersed into the air, and the leaves in the teacup instantly turned to dust.
"These are smokes representing seven emotions."
Having studied various emotion-representing smokes for a long time, Illumi naturally understood what these colored smokes represented.
Blue for greed, pink for envy, red for gluttony, dark green for sloth, yellow for pride, purple for lust, light green for wrath.
"Specialization Type."
Only now did Illumi understand that he belonged to the Specialization Type among the Nen ability's Six Types.
"However, how to develop it still requires more research."
Illumi dipped his finger into the water in the teacup. The water's color had not changed. He lightly licked it with his tongue.
"Colorless and tasteless."
Illumi raised an eyebrow. He had thought that with such a peculiar manifestation, the water's taste might have many variations.
"Splash..."
He picked up the teacup, poured out the water, and stood up, walking towards the park path in the distance. Next, while developing his ability, he would hone his fundamentals, which were the Four Major Principles and Nen combat techniques.
"It's a pity that Greed Island doesn't exist yet."
Illumi carefully recalled. Ging was probably only 13 years old now and had just started creating Greed Island.
Greed Island was the best way to temper a Nen user's abilities in the gentlest way, but unfortunately, Ging hadn't even started creating the game yet.
"Beep..."
Illumi, walking towards the mansion, paused, pulled out his vibrating phone, which showed an unknown caller.
Illumi pressed the answer button. With a "beep," the call connected.
"Mr. Illumi, long time no see."
A calm, deep voice spoke, conjuring the image of a middle-aged man in Illumi's mind.
"Adkins Kaiser."
Illumi slowly spoke the other person's name.
"Mr. Illumi has such a good memory, still remembering this old man like me."
At the Kaiser Group headquarters, Adkins stood by the French window, cigar in hand, emitting white smoke, looking down at the bustling yet dirty city below.
"I'm here to repay you."
Adkins's words floated into Illumi's ears, causing him to frown slightly.
"We only have business between us."
"I know, so I found you another business deal."
Illumi didn't speak, waiting for his next sentence. Adkins, not receiving an inquiry from the other end of the phone, gently shook his head and spoke again.
"Recently, it seems that due to Fitzgerald's death, some people have targeted me."
"Someone within the Fitzgerald family suspects that I hired the assassin, so my head is very unsafe right now."
Illumi frowned slightly at the news, and said in a deep voice.
"I'm not a bodyguard. If you want to kill someone, just say it directly."
"Don't beat around the bush with me; those things have nothing to do with me."
"Hahaha, Mr. Illumi is truly straightforward."
Adkins laughed loudly, his tone suddenly changing.
"Felicia Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald's eldest daughter."
"After Fitzgerald's death, his eldest daughter immediately flew back to the family from the Adimei United States."
"She now handles all affairs of the Fitzgerald Group, and that project is still in the hands of the Fitzgerald Group."
"In other words, the last matter isn't over. I'm commissioning you again to assassinate Felicia Fitzgerald."
