Not finding Chrollo, but only Uvogin and the unknown member #8.
Yuu was actually a little disappointed.
However, he was also certain that the Troupe wouldn't make any moves for quite some time, after all... the Spider had suffered significant losses this time.
At the same time, he was also very certain that the Troupe wouldn't let this go. Sooner or later, Chrollo would come looking for him, and what he had to do... was to stay calm and move forward steadily.
"Compared to these, it's more important to hurry now."
Yuu muttered to himself.
The locations of the Kakin Empire capital and Yorknew City on the map were in the upper right and lower left corners respectively, a long distance apart.
In the past, for such a long distance like from the Kakin Empire to Yorknew City, Yuu would definitely choose to take an airship.
After all, relying on short-distance teleportation to travel, he would probably die from brain and Six Eyes overload due to excessive use of cursed techniques halfway.
However, after understanding the principle of the Reverse Cursed Technique.
Yuu could use the positive energy obtained by reversing Cursed Energy to repair his damaged brain continuously while using his brain intensively.
Plus the characteristics of the Six Eyes.
The consumption rate of Cursed Energy was far lower than the recovery rate, so basically there was no situation where Cursed Energy ran out.
So now, he could finally travel recklessly by teleportation without worrying about dying of exhaustion over the ocean halfway.
The only drawback was that it was a bit slow.
But Yuu also found that since he comprehended the Reverse Cursed Technique, his understanding of the essence of Cursed Energy had become more thorough, getting slightly closer to the core of Cursed Energy.
So the teleportation distance also increased a lot.
Although currently he could only jump a maximum of one hundred meters at a time, which couldn't be considered long-distance teleportation, as long as he used it continuously, catching up with that slow airship with frequency wasn't difficult.
Plus the time span wasn't large, Yuu also guessed that the other party hadn't escaped far, so as long as he didn't choose the wrong direction, he should be able to catch up with the target soon.
...
Meanwhile.
Illumi looked at Killua's somewhat nervous expression, understood that he was deliberately hiding something, and said:
"Lying is not good... especially to Big Brother."
Illumi approached Killua step by step, stopping at a distance of less than half a meter, and the malice in his heart rushed towards Killua along with the Nen around him.
Then he raised his hand and suspended it in front of Killua, saying gloomily:
"Tell me, Killua... who is the 'Yuu' she just mentioned?"
Feeling the terrible aura coming from his big brother, Killua felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his hands and feet were stiff and he dared not move. He subconsciously wanted to retreat and escape, but there was no way back behind him.
Neon was also affected by this terrible aura and felt the killing intent coming from the black-haired man in front of her.
Only then did she realize belatedly that she had been kidnapped by a killer or assassin, and couldn't help forcing herself to calm down.
Then, Neon silently lay down with the lid, hiding back into the box containing her, to avoid the killer with empty eyes noticing her.
Although it was her first time experiencing kidnapping, Neon had learned in advance how to avoid being killed in similar situations.
For example, avoiding eye contact with the other party as much as possible, and not making the other party angry...
Neon hid in the dark, understanding that now whether it was her father or the guarding Valtz and others, they must be trying their best to search for her... but she inevitably felt uneasy.
"Help..."
Neon buried the words of help in her heart, and the white-haired figure appeared in her mind again.
She suddenly remembered the white-haired boy she saw when she opened the box earlier, and couldn't help wondering if he had any connection with Yuu.
"Could it be his younger brother?"
Thinking of this, Neon suddenly felt much more at ease.
Outside the box.
Illumi spoke again: "Ask you one more time, Killua... who is that guy?"
Facing his big brother's questioning, Killua knew that this old matter which had already turned the page, finally couldn't be escaped after being brought up again today.
"It was that day... the person who injured Big Brother."
"Oh, so it was that guy."
After listening to Killua's answer, Illumi understood in his heart, instantly restrained the killing intent around him, returned to his usual relaxed demeanor, and said:
"Really."
"Why didn't you just say so earlier? I thought you didn't listen to my advice again and made friends behind my back that I didn't know..."
Illumi stepped forward, raised his hand and rubbed Killua's head, smiling and said: "From now on, don't hide anything from Big Brother anymore, Killua."
"Especially making friends."
"Because you are a child of the Zoldyck family, born as a killer, and killers don't need friends. Excessive emotions will only affect your potential as a killer, understand?"
"I understand." Killua lowered his head and replied.
Seeing this, Illumi was very satisfied, then withdrew his hand and turned away, showing no signs of anger.
Illumi's reaction was much flatter than Killua imagined. Although surprised, he was more relieved.
No conflict erupted because of this.
The two sat back in their seats, ignoring Neon who had quieted down proactively.
...
"Seems their farce is over."
Amane and Tsubone in the cockpit had sensed the commotion from the rear long ago, but they were used to seeing such things in the past, so they took it for granted and didn't react much.
"Young Master Illumi really likes to bully Young Master Killua... Every time he releases Nen, Young Master Killua has absolutely no thought of resistance."
Tsubone said calmly.
"Anyway, it's just small fights between brothers. We butlers just need to do our job well."
After Amane finished speaking, she turned to ask: "By the way, why don't the family head and others let Young Master Killua learn Nen? Even among us butlers, we are specifically required not to teach Young Master Nen ability privately."
"Because Young Master Killua is very special."
Tsubone explained: "Even in the history of the Zoldyck family, Young Master Killua's assassination talent is one of the best. So contacting and learning Nen ability too early is not a good thing for a genius like him... at least wait until all aspects tend to mature."
"True."
Amane nodded, and the two said no more.
Half an hour later.
Yuu successfully captured the trace of this helicopter and sensed several familiar auras from it.
Killua, Illumi, and Neon.
...
A moment later.
Amane, who was concentrating on driving, suddenly felt the helicopter being pulled by a powerful attraction force, and the speed began to drop.
"Strange... is there a malfunction?" Amane wondered.
Before she could find the cause of the malfunction, she and Tsubone suddenly saw a white-haired figure wearing sunglasses and hands in pockets flashing in the distance.
"?!!"
Amane and Tsubone couldn't figure out why there was an extra person at this altitude, nor did they know how the other party managed to act as if nothing happened in the cold high altitude...
Importantly, in this critical situation, the two had no time to think about such things.
After all, once a collision occurred, even as Nen users, it would be difficult to survive a free fall from this height.
