Upon seeing Keen's attire, the old man immediately recognized Keen's identity and, judging from Keen's gaze at Ron, inferred that Ron's status within the Zoldyck family was significant. "Master." Zebro cautiously approached. Keen glanced at Zebro with indifference. Ron felt his face flush slightly. The third door required a total of 16 tons of force—this alone could easily be accomplished in the first 200 floors of the Sky Arena without any difficulty. Ron remembered that in the original storyline, Gon, after finishing his journey in Zoldyck Manor, went directly to the Sky Arena. At that time, Gon ascended to the 200th floor without undergoing any special training, relying solely on the strength he gained from pushing open the trial doors of the Zoldyck Manor. No one could withstand Gon's strike. Yet, Gon had only managed to push open the first trial door. Now, Ron was able to push open the third. Heat began to radiate from Ron, sweat evaporating from his body. At that moment, the third trial door was fully opened. Ron glanced at the crystal ball but did not enter the manor; instead, he stepped back. Boom! The massive iron door slammed shut. "Master Ron." Keen approached, surprise flickering in his eyes. While Keen had been present during Ron's training under Maha Zoldyck, he hadn't fully understood Ron's true level of strength until Ron faced off against Sangis. Keen acknowledged that Sangis was indeed quite powerful. Without using Nen, Keen wasn't confident he could completely defeat Sangis. But Ron had done it. In their first encounter, Ron had initially been at a disadvantage but used Invisibility to defeat Sangis. By their second encounter, Ron didn't even use shadow technique. In the third and fourth encounters, Ron had been suppressing his strength while fighting against Sangis. And now, at only nine years old, Ron had already managed to push open the third trial door. This indicated that Ron was not only impressive in speed, technique, and learning aptitude but also possessed exceptional physical talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this. Such strength had already surpassed that of Sangis. Just a few days ago, Ron's strength had still been inferior to Sangis's. "Who is this?" Ron directed his gaze toward Zebro. "Master Ron, I am Zebro, the cleaner for Mike." Mike was the first line of defense for Zoldyck Manor—a giant dog, roughly the size of a small house. Ron actually recognized Zebro. In the original storyline, Gon and his friends were able to smoothly enter Zoldyck Manor, thanks in no small part to Zebro's assistance. On the surface, he was a doorman, but in reality, he was a cleaner. The only correct way for outsiders to enter Zoldyck Manor was to push open the trial door. However, not everyone could manage to do so. Most of the people who came here found themselves unable to push it open. Yet, they did not feel their strength was lacking and desired to enter Zoldyck Manor. At that time, they would notice a small door nearby, which could be opened with a key. The key was in Zebro's hand. Thus, they would threaten Zebro to hand over the key. To this, Zebro would not resist and would directly comply because that was part of his job. Handing over the key was merely a trap, not a permission for them to enter the manor. Using the key to enter Zoldyck Manor would inevitably provoke Mike s attack. "Would it be convenient for you to show me around?" Ron chose not to enter through the door because he noticed the crystal ball's absorption of the surrounding characteristics had not slowed down. Ron stepped back for a moment, needing to stay near the trial door a little longer until the crystal ball's absorption of the surrounding characteristics slowed down. "Of course." Zebro showed no hesitation. "Master Ron, please follow me." At that moment, a sudden clamor erupted from outside. Ron looked out to see a dozen figures approaching. From their expressions, it was clear they were not friendly. "Over here!" "We found them!" "Boss, come quick!" One voice called out. Instantly, Zebro, who had been outside, was surrounded by those aggressive individuals. Ron raised an eyebrow slightly. Keen positioned himself in front of Ron. Before long, Zebro handed over the key in his hand. "You've got some sense!" A middle-aged man took the key and walked over to the side door. Inserting the key, he turned it. Click! The door opened, and the dozen people surged in. Bang! The door automatically closed behind them. Zebro glanced towards the side door, shook his head, and then turned back to Ron with a smile. "Master Ron." Zebro stepped forward to the large door. He removed his outer garment, revealing his strong muscles. Placing both hands on the door, he pushed with all his might. Creak! The door opened slightly. Then, the gap widened. "Please!" Ron nodded and stepped inside. Keen followed closely behind him. Then came Zebro. Bang! The door automatically closed. A massive dog head entered Ron's field of vision. Cold, with no hint of emotion, it seemed less like a living creature and more like a machine—a pure killing machine. Ron squinted slightly. From Mike, Ron sensed an unusual aura. "This shouldn't be an ordinary beast." "It likely has connections to the Dark Continent." Members of the Zoldyck family had ventured to the Dark Continent. Years ago, Zigg Zoldyck teamed up with Netero to head to the Dark Continent. After returning, Netero issued an order forbidding members of the Hunter Association from going there and also warned V5. Ron was certain that Aluka was connected to the Dark Continent. As for Mike, he could not be entirely sure. Half of a body was lodged in Mike 's mouth. It was one of those who had threatened Zebro for the key. The others had long been killed and devoured by Mike . This was the last one. He was not completely dead yet. Upon seeing Ron and the others, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, as if he saw them as his saviors. "Help, help me." However, this person had completely misunderstood the situation. Zebro was a cleaner for the Zoldyck family.
