Chapter 286: Pokémon of the Multiverse: Starting from Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 158

Counter Clerk: “……”

Although her reason told this clerk that doing this was a huge waste of money, the money didn't belong to her.

In the end, she exchanged all the money for juice-flavored candies; because Killua bought so much at once, he nearly cleared out their entire stock.

He casually made a call to the family butler, Gotoh, telling him to arrange for someone to come and take the candy back.

Naturally, he couldn't carry this much candy by himself.

Killua instructed the clerk that someone would come to collect it later.

Then, he opened a box of candy and walked outside while savoring the delicious treat.

“Hiss~”

“This candy is actually really good.”

“It’s a shame it’s a Heavens Arena limited edition.”

“Should I earn some more here?”

Killua stopped in his tracks, beginning to consider whether he should defy his family’s instructions and go try his luck on the 200th floor.

Swish—

A figure appeared before Killua.

The man was dressed in dark green clothes covered in yellow dots, which were actually nails—his weapons.

The young man had long black hair, a strangely youthful face, and deep, dark eyes.

Although he looked very young, he gave off an eerie vibe that made people subconsciously want to stay away from him.

This man was Killua’s older brother, Illumi, the eldest son of Silva and a famous brother-complex in the Hunter world.

“Killua, the family instructed you not to go to the 200th floor.”

Illumi said in an indifferent tone.

Unlike the young Killua, he was already a Nen user and knew exactly what the 200th floor was like.

0 Seeking flowers

Because of the existence of the “Baptism,” the Zoldyck family did not intend for Killua to go to the 200th floor.

Reaching this level was already enough to achieve the desired training effect.

Killua’s expression shifted slightly, and he asked in surprise, “Big Brother?!”

“Why are you here?”

“Me? Naturally, to take you home.”

……

Time marched on until 1997.

Gero Corporation Headquarters.

Luo Ge sat quietly in his boss chair, listening to Rotom’s report.

“Loto-loto.”

“There is a rather important matter.”

“Latest news: Chairman Netero has announced Pariston Hill of the Zodiacs as Vice-Chairman.”

“This matter hasn't been fully publicized yet; it was news leaked by Piyon first.”

Luo Ge’s gaze flickered.

Vice-Chairman, huh…

According to the timeline in the original work, it was about time for Pariston to become Vice-Chairman.

“Is there anything else besides this?”

“Loto, there is one more thing.”

“You previously instructed us to search for the whereabouts of the Dark Sonata, and we have now found its trail.”

“Oh?”

Luo Ge immediately became interested.

As a mysterious and powerful force in the original work, he was naturally curious about it.

That was why he had ordered the search.

Rumor had it that the Dark Sonata was a solo piece composed by a Demon King.

It could be played separately on four instruments: piano, violin, flute, and harp.

Whenever a human played or listened to it, they would inevitably suffer unimaginable, terrible disasters.

In the original work, Melody had heard the flute part of the “Dark Sonata,” just a small section of it.

And in exchange, she lost her healthy body, gaining the ability to hear the emotional changes of others.

As for the performer, they had died immediately after finishing the piece.

This was a very sinister thing, very much in the style of the Dark Continent.

He wanted to obtain it!

As this thought arose in Luo Ge’s heart, a phantom figure vaguely emerged behind him.

That was his Guardian Spirit Beast!

That day, he had used the [Cycle Recycling Room] to repair the Cursed Pot, and because of that, he had obtained a Guardian Spirit Beast.

He had also renamed that pot the [Guardian Pot Gate].
