"Separate!"
The woman and the young man exchanged a glance—and then bolted in opposite directions.
Natsu took off after the young man.
Uchiha Sasuke went after the woman.
Kaizen also moved in the direction of the woman.
The strength of the two Four Beast members wasn't bad.
But the tracking device—the real target—was in the woman's hands.
She turned back to glance at Sasuke and Kaizen, her expression darkening.

Chaos erupted inside the mall.
Screams echoed, people trampled over one another in panic, pushing and falling over in the mad rush to escape.
A scowl darkened the face of one of the Four Beasts.
"These pests are getting on my nerves. I could kill every last one of them."
"We can. This whole place is shrouded in mist—no one can see inside. Even if we slaughter them all, we can just blame it on that guy."
"Sure, if this were a normal day, it might cause ...

"Master Nen in just two weeks? That's the highest order Her Highness has ever given me!"
Belerainte's chest burned with determination as he recalled the queen's solemn tone when assigning him this task.
"She called me by name… She believes in me. This is my chance, and I won't waste it!"
Four men nearby—clearly servants—reacted quite differently. Two clung to each other in fear, while the other two tried to suppress their delight.
One of the anxious servants whis...

While Bill explained the issue to Kurapika and Ronnel in Room 1004...
A cold bead of sweat rolled down the forehead of Theta, the most loyal guard serving Fourth Prince Tserriednich—and one of the only two in his retinue to have learned Nen.
"This is unbelievable… From the moment he started learning Ten, he's nearly mastered the secret of Ren in just half a day…"
As Theta looked into the cold fury simmering in Tserriednich's eyes, she became even more certain:...

That's right—he's just asking for it.
Queen Sevanti believed that Clone No. 4 could detect and eliminate the elite soldiers sent by the First Queen, proving its exceptional capability in protection.
She wanted to bring Clone No. 4 over to protect her own son, Prince Marayam~
After the ambush on Momoze and the earlier incident where the Fourteenth Prince's guards turned on each other, Sevanti had finally realized that the lower-ranked princes were in the most danger—easie...

If this person really wanted to die, Ronnel would've just stood aside and watched—let the murderous guards do what they wanted.
But the fact that he saved her meant, at the very least, that he bore no ill will toward her.
Judging by his skill, he could've taken out even the guards under the First Queen without breaking a sweat. That made him a rare powerhouse.
So now, Momoze's only hope was the man in front of her—the one who called himself "No. 4."

Now was the perfect opportunity for the Revolutionary Army to make their move.
A small aircraft hovered silently above the city.
Four figures stood atop it, peering down.

"Still, it's not a big deal."

"Good."
Nessley gave a sharp nod.
"I'll pass the information to you later, Kaizen."
She hung up the phone.
The airship descended.
Kaizen could immediately sense something off around the station—there were several unfamiliar presences.
They all had aura.
Not particularly strong, but their presence made it clear: Kaizen couldn't leave the city by airship again.
Worse, he had a vague sense that these people had a way to track him. It wasn't immed...

Kaizen pulled out his phone.
The first number he dialed was Zeno's.
"Kaizen," the old assassin answered.
"Grandpa Zeno, I think I've gotten myself into a bit of a mess."
Zeno's eyebrows lifted slightly. He was well aware of Kaizen's strength. If Kaizen himself considered it troublesome enough to call, then this wasn't a minor issue.
"What kind of trouble?"
"I recruited a teammate during the Hunter Exam, and I'm heading to her hometown with her now. It's the...

According to the original story, the one who assassinated Momoze was a soldier serving under the Fifth Queen—someone who could use Nen.
That soldier possessed a clone-type ability called The Touch. Within a 20-meter radius, he could create a clone, so long as he lay down with his eyes closed. As long as he maintained that state, the clone would act independently under his control.
Originally, he intended to claim credit for the assassination and use it to climb ...

Feeling Momoze suddenly stop resisting, a flicker of relief flashed across the attacker's eyes—and he instinctively tightened his grip.
"Mom… Brother… I'll go on ahead. I'll wait for you in heaven…"
Momoze's vision blurred, the world fading around her as the pressure on her neck suffocated her.
She'd given up. In her heart, she'd already accepted that her whole family would follow her into death. And in front of her, the criminal's twisted gaze shimmered with both lu...

As arrogant as they were, they were bound to react when they saw a guard like that.
And yet, the soldier just stood there in silence. Wasn't that far too strange?
If there's a problem, there has to be a problem.
Maor's instincts flared. He pushed down his suspicion, forcing a calm expression as if nothing had happened, and offered Queen Oito a slight bow.

The brute crashed to the ground, unwilling and stunned.
He never expected things to turn out this way.
Worse yet, he hadn't even had the chance to unleash his true strength.
His weapon—a giant axe capable of cleaving through any defense—hadn't even scratched Natsu.
Natsu's agility far outclassed him.
On top of that, he'd been caught in Libra's gravity field and Blade's paralysis—slowing his movements to a crawl.

On the other side of the battlefield, Sasuke Uchiha found himself on the defensive.
The middle-aged man's attacks came from too far away.
Sasuke's own long-range options were limited—techniques like Chidori required close proximity, and even his Fire Style was countered by the opponent's water-based aura abilities.
Still, Sasuke couldn't back down. His Susano'o gave him a strong enough defense to stay in the fight.

He frowned, uneasy.
Just then, an email came through.

The same person who had placed the call moments before—the woman who had been the first to respond when Kaizen contacted them.
He scanned the contents quickly.

"Of course I could," Camilla said, her tone rising. "But this way, it's just easier."

Killua's voice was strained, held back by chains.
Two metal cuffs bound his wrists, each connected to a length of chain that stretched to the stone wall. His entire body hung suspended in midair.
Bruises and welts already covered his body—fresh marks from the whip.
And the one wielding the whip? Absolutely absurd.
The older he got, the more his body expanded horizontally. Compared to the other members of the Zoldyck family, it was downright comical.
