Not to mention it, but the moment this topic was brought up, Netero instantly perked up. His long, white eyebrows, speckled with age, twitched twice in anticipation.
“Really?”
Seeing this, Zeno helplessly covered his face.
He knew Netero's personality too well.
A lecher, an old rascal, and a lover of challenges.
From Netero's tone, Zeno already knew that he wouldn't be able to dissuade him.
Because, Netero was interested, interested in Bai Ze.
“Netero... that little guy is from the Dark Continent.”
“The darkness you've stepped into before.”
“He's dangerous.”
After saying this.
Netero's murky and profound eyes narrowed slightly.
From the Dark Continent?
In his younger days, he had ventured into the Dark Continent with Jaeger Zoldyck from the Zoldyck family, and Linne, a Gourmet Hunter from the Hunter Association.
It was from this expedition that Jaeger Zoldyck brought back the calamity from the Dark Continent, also known as the fourth son of the Zoldyck family, Alluka.
Now, the sixth son of the Zoldyck family was a calamity as well?
His thoughts reaching this point, the usually carefree Netero became serious and composed.
“Is he strong?”
Thinking about Bai Ze's omniscience and bizarre abilities, Zeno still didn't have any concrete information about him.
Bai Ze's abilities were too strange, making it impossible for Zeno to gather much intelligence.
However, Zeno was clear about one thing: Bai Ze's talent was extraordinary. His omniscience alone was enough to demonstrate the power of his talent.
His thoughts coming to this point, Zeno nodded.
“Yes.”
“He has some bizarre abilities.”
“His danger level is above Alluka.”
“So, Netero, take my advice, you won't be able to control him.”
“Hahaha~” Netero resumed his cheerful laughter, stroking his white beard, and playfully said, “That sounds quite interesting.”
Zeno's face tightened, forming a stark contrast to Netero's: “This is not fun at all.”
“I've already hugged you, it wouldn't be too much to hug your grandson, right?” Netero said in a frivolous manner.
Finally, under Netero's repeated insistence.
Zeno agreed to Netero's request.
However, the entire meeting would have to take place under surveillance.
After all, Netero was right. His meeting with Bai Ze might allow them to uncover some information related to him.
Since someone was willing to investigate Bai Ze for their Zoldyck family, Zeno thought it wouldn't be a loss. Taking another risk seemed acceptable.
After their discussion, Zeno gave a reminder.
“Once there is danger, you have to retreat immediately and avoid lingering.”
“And all the information you gather, all of it, must be handed over to the Zoldyck family. It can't be leaked to outsiders.”
With Zeno's constant reminders, Netero impatiently scratched his ear, and chuckled, “Zeno, you’re getting old and talkative. I understand, don’t worry.”
“Heh~” Zeno lifted the corner of his mouth in a disdainful arc: “I was just born when you were already an old man. You have the nerve to call me old?”
“Alright~” Netero didn't dwell on Zeno’s words. He was already eager to see the new Zoldyck kid: “See you later.”
Right after that, Netero hung up the phone.
In the surveillance room, Kikyo, the Bai Ze enthusiast, spoke first.
“Father, everything is alright?”
Silva's expression was icy.
“Will Netero do anything reckless?”
Zeno waved his right hand and said: “Don't worry, it's fine.”
“Netero has agreed. All the information he gathers will be reported to the Zoldyck family, and it will be kept confidential from outsiders.”
“We need Netero’s help to get more information about Bai Ze.”
“That old man is a monster, incredibly strong.”
“It's fine, Netero is the only human who has survived a fight with our Great-Grandfather.”
Seeing this, Kikyo and Silva didn't say anything more.
After a while, a Hunter Association airship arrived at the Zoldyck family.
On the hull of the massive airship, the prominent Hunter Association logo of two XXs was emblazoned.
Netero, who had reached his destination, was ushered into the Zoldyck family by the head butler, Wutong. In no time, he reached the inside of the Zoldyck family estate.
After traversing numerous corridors, Netero arrived at the surveillance room alone.
Zeno was already waiting there, as expected.
Kikyo and Silva had already left.
Zeno sat in a chair in the surveillance room, holding a cup of hot tea in his right hand. The tea aroma wafted around him.
While sipping his tea, he glanced at the arriving Netero with a sideways look.
“Long time no see.”
Netero waved his hand, laughing loudly.
“It's too late to drink tea. You'll have trouble sleeping tonight.”
“Don't worry about me. You can take a look at the big screen first.” Zeno placed the teacup on the nearby table, raised his right hand, and pointed towards the large screen in front of them.
The image displayed on the screen was still Bai Ze playing with Alluka.
“Oh~” Netero scratched his head, narrowed his eyes, took a good look, and said: “That little guy next to Alluka is Bai Ze?”
“Your new Zoldyck kid?”
He was slightly shocked. This didn't look like a newborn at all, he was so big?
Seeing Netero's confusion, Zeno explained.
“He awakened his Nen abilities automatically at birth. He has extreme killing intent, and his body instantly grew to about five years old. He seems to be omniscient, and from the first meeting, he knew about Alluka’s situation.”
“And he threatened the entire Zoldyck family with Alluka.”
“That is Bai Ze, his danger level is far above Alluka.”
“So, are you still going to see him?”
Stretching his limbs, Netero's eyes gleamed with excitement.
His life goal was to find a worthy opponent to engage in a thrilling battle with.
And he also loved giving himself impossible tasks and then completing them.
This challenge seemed pretty good.
“Let this old man have a go at this new kid!”
Zeno didn't waste words: “Okay.”
Then, he told Netero which confinement cell Bai Ze was in, allowing Netero to find him himself.
A few minutes later, Netero, after passing through several large iron gates, finally reached Bai Ze's location.
Outside the door of Alluka's confinement cell, a man in a traditional kimono, with a long ponytail, long eyebrows, a thick beard, and elongated earlobes suddenly appeared.
The man, as if he were an old acquaintance, waved his right hand, with a wide smile on his face.
“Hahaha, let this old man come play with you guys.”
Alluka, holding her Kuno doll, looked up with puzzlement at the old man, her eyes wide.
“Brother...”
Bai Ze remained calm and composed, with his eyes like a still pond. He patted Alluka's back, a smile playing on his lips.
“It’s fine.”
At the same time, Bai Ze looked at the old man in front of him.
He also noticed a large red gift box floating above the old man’s head, with a prominent letter "B" on it.
Another blind box came knocking?
Was this old man a blind box delivery guy?
Running to deliver a blind box?
As his thoughts raced, Bai Ze felt a sense of familiarity with the old man in front of him. His unique attire, could it be...
