"Truly something to look forward to." Gel was amazed by the level Ron and Wendy displayed in their sudden encounters. Even though Gel had already heard some news and was mentally prepared. But witnessing it firsthand still left her astonished. "Not to mention their aura levels; anyone can see that." "The key lies in experience, skill, and combat wisdom." "They simply don't seem like young inexperienced rookies." "But rather like seasoned Nen users who have been through many tough battles, veteran Nen users" "Moreover, the abilities they've developed are quite remarkable." "Exceptional talent, and their backgrounds are also very important." "For the Hunters in the Association to reach this level is very difficult." In the Hunter Association, aside from each hunter's own disciples, the recruited members all join through the Hunter Exam. And those who can participate in and pass the Hunter Exam are mostly of a certain age. Being older means that the person already has a complete thought system. In this case, it's very difficult to change them. If their previous thinking was correct, then it's not a big deal. But if their previous thinking was wrong, then even if they become Nen users, they won't be very strong. ------------------------------------------ Soon, Ron met the members of Dominica's team. Their numbers were more than Gel's team; including Dominica, there were as many as eight people. Adding Ron and Wendy, that made ten people. Wendy knew all these people. They were all members of the Fioral royal family. Dominica gave a brief introduction of Ron. "This is Ron, from the Zoldyck family. The first Nen user from the Taris nation was discovered by Ron." Everyone greeted Ron. Ron sized up these people. Their aura was very strong. Most were above B-level. But correspondingly, they were much older than Ron. Dominica clapped his hands. "The cleanup of the entire Taris nation is almost complete as of today." "The area we're responsible for has one last place remaining." "But it's also the most troublesome one." Dominica's expression became serious. "Horuen City!" Dominica took out a map, with a bright red dot on it. "The largest city in the Taris nation." "Its population numbers in the millions." "According to the information we've obtained, the mutated monster is in this city." "However, the monster is too well hidden." "No matter what methods we use, we can't find its exact location." "Because there are too many ordinary people, we can't carry out a destructive attack on the entire city." "Do you have any ideas?" Everyone began to discuss. "The mutated monster must be eliminated, or else it will evolve into a situation like this again in the future, causing even greater casualties to humanity." "A team of Nen users from the Taris nation can easily destroy an entire city." "If we let Horuen City go now, it will only bring greater disasters." "By then, the people in Horuen City will all die as well." "In that case, it would be better to eliminate them all now; at least this way, there won't be subsequent disasters." This was the response from the radical faction. But it was quickly refuted by the moderates. "If we do this, how are we any different from the Nen users of the Taris nation?" "We can't just kill the person simply because the illness is hard to cure." "There must be ways to find the mutated monster; it's just a matter of time." "I think we can take over Horuen City, set up surveillance everywhere, and once the mutated monster is exposed, we can get the information immediately." Dominica was silent for a moment. "There's no need to take such radical measures for now." "Let's do this: we'll first infiltrate Horuen City in disguise, pretend to be ordinary outsiders settling down there, split into four groups, and observe in secret." "First gather all the intelligence we can obtain." "If there's really no other way, then we must be prepared for the worst outcome. We all know what we must do." The worst outcome Dominica referred to was to destroy the entire Horuen City. Along with everyone inside. -------------------------------------- Ron, Wendy, and Dominica formed one group. The remaining seven were divided into groups of two, two, and three. The identity settings for Ron's trio were established. Dominica was the uncle. Ron was the nephew, Wendy the niece. Ron and Wendy were siblings. The only difference from their real relationships was Ron. "Let's get familiar with how we address each other now," Dominica said. "Okay, Uncle Dominica." Ron changed his form of address. Then he looked at Wendy. "Wendy." Wendy looked at Ron, a bit conflicted. In the Fioral royal family, Wendy also had cousins. She had said "older brother" many times. But when she looked at Ron and was about to say those words, Wendy found that she couldn't help but recall the scene when they boarded the airship before. Ron's hand supported her waist. Her body gently leaning against Ron. The distance between them was very close. Wendy felt strange, not understanding what was going on. "What's wrong with me?" After struggling for a long time, Wendy finally spoke. "Ron... big brother." This form of address was actually normal, but combined with Wendy's expression and demeanor when she said it, along with her slightly reddened ears, it made people feel that something was off. This tone didn't sound like that of real siblings at all. But more like a pair of overly young lovers. Dominica's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Wendy, then at Ron, and then his gaze returned to Wendy. "Seems like it's not impossible." Wendy was a genius among the younger generation in the Fioral royal family; there were very few in the entire Fioral royal family who could match her. And Ron's talent was not inferior to Wendy's; he was also from the Zoldyck family. The union of the two would certainly be a strong alliance. Moreover, Dominica knew that Ron was not the heir of the Zoldyck family. This meant that Ron didn't need to reside at the Zoldyck estate and could choose where to live. As long as Ron could settle in Fioral. Then marrying Wendy to Ron would not be opposed by the Fioral royal family. "What would the union of Fioral and the Zoldyck family be like?" "What level would their children reach?" Dominica couldn't help but imagine. After practicing several times, Wendy finally became somewhat normal. "Uncle Dominica!" Ron and Wendy looked at the distracted Dominica, raising their voices to bring him back. "Hmm? Oh, nothing." Dominica came back to his senses and said, "Since we've practiced enough, let's enter the city." "Alright." The trio entered Horuen City. Their identities were set as a family who had suffered misfortune, fled their home, lost everything, and came to Horuen City. They would rent a house in the slums. Their means of livelihood would rely on Dominica's skill in making pancakes. For this, the three of them changed their clothes. Changed into very worn-out ones. A middle-aged man with a full beard was haggling with Dominica over the rent. Meanwhile, Ron and Wendy were observing this slum. Most of the houses here were built from iron sheets and wood, very rudimentary and unstable; a slight impact could cause them to collapse. The buildings were very chaotic, and the streets were also very messy. At least it wasn't as bad as the Old Garabge zone in Meteor city....
