Chapter 86 of "The Strongest Assassin of the Zoldyck Family!" begins revealing surprises: "This time, the KUTE affair... it was solved thanks to you, Lord Zeno." "If it weren't... Read on to find out!

"This time, the KUTE affair... it was solved thanks to you, Lord Zeno." "If it weren't for your intervention, the entire Meteor City could have been destroyed by the KUTE." "These people are simply ruthless." "We've only roughly estimated the damage, and already, millions of lives have been lost because of them." "We, the Elders, have suffered immense losses." "Not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even among the Nen users, we don't know how many have perished." "Especially the Mad Beasts." "Now, only one remains." "Meteor City has suffered an unprecedented disaster." "After this, no one knows how long it will take for Meteor City to recover." The Elder sighed as he spoke. "Lord Zeno, I have a request, though I'm not sure if I should bring it up." Zeno's expression didn't change. "If the Elder has something to say, feel free to speak." "Then I will speak directly. Please, don't be offended." The Elder paused for a moment before continuing. "I know that the Zoldyck family is a family of assassins, and they only take on assassin tasks outside. However, the Zoldyck family is not only good at killing but also in nurturing talent." "The Zoldyck family's butlers are extraordinary and no doubt experts in teaching." "Therefore, Lord Zeno, I would like to request that the Zoldyck family train my subordinates." "As for the price, I assure you, I am fully prepared for it." The Elder's eyes burned with intensity as he looked at Zeno. Meteor City had suffered tremendous losses in this incident. But at the same time, it was in the process of reshuffling. Among the twelve Elders, some suffered more severe losses than others, while some were affected less. However, at the level of Nen users, Meteor City had suffered greatly. Only two of the Mad Beasts survived. And even these two were somewhat disheartened. After the KUTE incident, they left without informing the Elders. No one knew their current whereabouts. Because of the huge losses, Meteor City was now facing many external threats. For example, the Mafia. The Mafias had always coveted Meteor City. The reason they hadn't acted before was due to Meteor City's strength. But now, after the attack from the KUTE, Meteor City's strength had greatly diminished. Would the Mafias now extend their reach to Meteor City? Aside from the Mafia, there were other forces as well. As a result, the Elders of Meteor City made a decision. They decided to merge the Elder Cities. Instead of allowing their strength to remain divided, they would combine the various Elder Cities to concentrate their power. Additionally, they planned to search for and train talent across the entire range of Meteor City to quickly replenish the lost strength and resist external pressure. Ordinary gunmen were easy to train. Meteor City still had many talents in that area. But Nen users were in short supply. That was why the Elder had turned his attention to Zeno. "This kind of request is outside the scope of the Zoldyck family's business." Zeno flatly rejected the proposal without hesitation. Because it didn't align with the Zoldyck family's interests. Training subordinates for Meteor City, no matter how much they offered, could never match the assassin missions the Zoldyck family was accustomed to, and it would require a great deal of time. Furthermore, any training would inevitably result in some connections. This was also not what the Zoldyck family desired. Moreover, it would not be a good thing for the Zoldyck family's butlers either. "Alright, it was presumptuous of me." The Elder's face showed a hint of disappointment, but he didn't press further. Meteor City, at its current strength, couldn't force the Zoldyck family to do something they didn't want to. "In the near future, Meteor City will conduct a recruitment drive across the entire city. Lord Zeno, would you be interested in seeing it? It should be quite interesting." "Meteor City still has a lot of talent, including Nen users who haven't joined the Elder Cities yet." "Lord Zeno might find a suitable butler candidate during this process." Zeno hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "Alright." After dinner, the two of them headed toward the room arranged by the Elder. On the second floor, each had their own room, adjacent to each other. Regarding the Elder's proposed recruitment, Ron felt a sense of anticipation. First, the term "recruitment" reminded him of another world's operation—in the world of *One Piece*, the Navy conducted a global recruitment to gain more power to suppress pirates. That recruitment not only recruited many ordinary soldiers but also two Admirals. Another reason for Ron's interest was his experience at Sky Arena. He knew that witnessing such events could accelerate the development of the Observer's Ultimate Skill. It could help him obtain the third Nen Beast faster. "Focus!" The moment he entered the room, Ron used his En to scan the entire space. Noticing nothing unusual, he finally relaxed. Then, with a flick of his thoughts, he summoned his Nen Beast. "Killer Queen!" Killer Queen materialized. Ron took the giant cockroach bone he had obtained from its space. He used his Ren to wash the bone. Ron noticed that after repeatedly cleansing the bone with Ren, it had undergone some changes. It became smoother, and the eggs embedded in it seemed to have sunk deeper into the bone. A faint glaze covered the surface, emitting a subtle glow. "I wonder how long it will take to complete this Nen tool." In the original storyline, there was little mention of Nen tools, so at first, Ron didn't have much of a concept about them. He initially thought Nen tools weren't very important for Nen users. The Nen users who excelled didn't seem to use Nen tools. Hisoka used his own ability. Zeno, Silva, they all fought unarmed. Leorio, Ging Freecss, Netero... Morel used a huge pipe, though it wasn't certain if it was a Nen tool. Gon's fishing rod—they were all just regular objects. And after reaching a certain level of strength, they no longer used them. Shizuku's vacuum cleaner was a skill, while characters like Chrollo and Phinks also didn't seem to rely heavily on Nen tools. However, according to Zeno, it seemed that Nen tools were still very important for Nen users. Otherwise, the KUTE wouldn't have gone to such lengths. Otherwise, Zeno wouldn't take them on so seriously. Ron looked down at the bone in his hand. "From this bone, I can certainly sense a remarkable aura." "Once this Nen tool is completed, it will be a great combat asset." (T/N Hmm I was under the impression that it was a Nen material, something needed to make a powerful Nen tool, but it seems like the material itself will transform into a Nen tool) "It's like gaining a whole new ability." There are two most important factors for a Nen user. One is the foundation, and the other is the ability. The foundation can only be built through talent and effort. Abilities, however, may have shortcuts. Nen tools are one such shortcut. Suddenly, Ron felt an unusual gaze. When the gaze first landed on him, it was filled with shock and confusion, but the next moment, it shifted to pure hatred. A deep, intense hatred. Ron turned his head and looked in the direction of the gaze. A small figure was hiding in the corner of the estate. When Ron looked over, the figure quickly ducked out of view. However, Ron still saw the person. He clearly recognized the figure. It was a young boy. "Peter?" "Is he filled with such intense hatred towards me?" "Is it because of Park?" "Does he think Grandpa and I shouldn't have left and failed to protect Park's life?" "Is that why he's resentful?" Ron frowned. Regarding Park and Peter Back when Ron and Zeno were on the mission, they had actually considered the situation for both of them. They had given both of them the opportunity to escape. -------------------------- You can read up to 120 Advanced chapters! Patreon(.)com/IDKjust Also check out the other story "Help!
