"..."

"So, this is why our family approached you."

With determined eyes, Geno looked at Luo Ge and said, "We hope you can destroy that monster!"

"Or drive it away!"

Luo Ge understood.

So they were talking about Nea after all?

Nea is also known as the "Wish Granter"; its ability is roughly to grant wishes.

However, except for Killua, anyone else who tries to have a wish granted often causes even more terrifying disasters.

When Alluka's three "whims" are fulfilled, Alluka's pupils turn black.

At that time, one wish can be made; once the wish is completed, the pupils return to normal.

The scope of wishes has almost no limit; eighty percent of any wish can be realized.

But the greater the requirement of the wish, the higher the difficulty of the next "whim."

Nea's wish-granting rules are quite complex; what is mentioned here is only part of them.

There is only one key point.

Killua can directly order Nea to grant a wish without paying any price.

Previously, several servants and butlers in the Zoldyck family were tempted by Nea's ability, made wishes, and caused disasters.

So Nea is now locked up.

But Geno and the others still feel uneasy.

To be honest, he was quite tempted.

What if he could capture 【Nea】? Perhaps he could make wishes like Killua, without paying any price?

That would be pretty cool.

But the question is, can he defeat it, or rather, can he handle 【Nea】?

Although he possesses strength considered number one across the Six Continents, and his Pokémon are each stronger than the last.

Yet facing a Bug-level Wish Granter, he still lacks confidence; after all, that is something from the Dark Continent.

Even with a huge pile of life-saving items, there is no guarantee that if 【Nea】 is provoked, it won't keep "granting wishes."

Tsk tsk tsk...

This is a bit tricky.

Capturing it might be difficult, but going there to activate a Nen ability and obtain some things should not be hard.

He was also quite curious about what things could be obtained in the place where Nea resides.

"What are you willing to pay?"

Hearing this, Geno said seriously:

"We know you don't lack money, so the compensation we offer covers many aspects."

"First, a favor from the Zoldyck family."

"In the future, as long as you have a need, we can do three things within our capabilities."

"Second, all the intelligence we possess."

"The countless pieces of intelligence, big and small, from all over the world that we have accumulated over these years can all be shared with you."

"If these are not enough, we can add more compensation."

After pondering for a moment, Luo Ge spoke:

"I need to consider this matter for a day and decide tomorrow."

"That is natural; you can take your time to consider."

Geno nodded.

After all, they have waited this long; a few more days won't matter.

Besides,

facing such an unknown monster, taking a day to prepare is extremely normal.

What Geno did not expect was that Luo Ge chose to wait a day not only to prepare, but also because his Nen ability usage count for today had already been used up.

It would only refresh after midnight.

Geno left with the slow gait of an old man, while Luo Ge returned by the same path.

He needed to make some preparations.

In the room.

Luo Ge took out a card and input Nen energy to activate it.

In the next instant, the card transformed into a big-headed television; on the surface, it looked no different from an ordinary TV.

【A-20】 If TV:

Input an article stating "If... then..." on the attached remote.

The result will be played as a documentary lasting 1 to 30 hours, and it can also be recorded.

This was the preparation he needed to make.

Using the 【If TV】 to watch in advance what would happen tomorrow.

Luo Ge input the article:

【If I agree to Geno's deal tomorrow】

Ding—

The television began to play.

Everything that followed depicted his future, so Luo Ge fast-forwarded directly to tomorrow.

In the scene,

led by Zeno and Silva, he arrived at a secluded, uninhabited location; after opening a hidden door, they revealed a corridor inside.

The corridor was constructed entirely from extremely hard metal, with a security door comparable to a bank vault every few steps.

There were several such doors in total.

Almost no one could enter.

After passing through layer upon layer of security checkpoints, the three finally reached a sealed room, its style somewhat resembling a toy house, decorated in a children's theme.

Since Alluka coexisted with Nanika, he differed from ordinary people and could survive even in such an environment.

The first thing to catch the eye was a child with a cute face, sitting amidst a pile of toys and playing with them.

His appearance suggested a girl, but in reality, he was a boy.

Of the Zoldyck family's fourth and fifth sons, both appeared like girls, yet in truth, all five children were male.

Hmm...

It's just that many of them turned out quite twisted.

The eldest son, Illumi, was a brother-complex, obsessing over Killua day and night, and even maintained an ambiguous relationship with Hisoka, who was also male.

The second son was considered the most normal among them.

Although he was an obese otaku, details like his figurines indicated he was a male with normal sexual orientation.

The third son, Killua, would meet Gon in the future, and then the two best friends would walk through life together.

The fourth son, Alluka, was contaminated by the Dark Continent and could only be confined in the depths.

In fact, aside from Killua, no one in the Zoldyck family treated him like a human being.

The fifth son, Kalluto, like the eldest son Illumi, favored Killua and suffered from a brother-complex.

The Zoldyck family typically passed down their lineage through a single heir, yet in Killua's generation, there were fully five sons.

However, Luo Ge felt that given this situation, the single-heir tradition would likely remain unbroken, relying solely on Milluki to "step up."

Immediately after, Luo Ge noticed a fleeting change in his own expression within the scene.

He rewound the footage and paused on that specific frame.

He saw "himself" smiling, the kind of smile born of pleasant surprise.

But it lasted only an instant before quickly returning to normal.

【Very happy, huh...】

【Since I haven't made my move to subdue him yet, it must be something obtained through Nen abilities that made me so happy.】

Luo Ge narrowed his eyes, calculating in his heart.

He knew himself very well.

Ordinary items could not provoke such a pleasantly surprised smile from him.

A Mega Stone?

That felt slightly off.

A Max Band?

That was quite possible; if he obtained that thing, he would indeed be very happy.

Or perhaps... a Treasure-class item?

Subsequently, Luo Ge watched as Alluka voluntarily walked up to "himself" and made a request.

Before "he" could even respond, Alluka voluntarily stepped back, as if wary of something, and then Alluka's face turned black...

Ding—

The "What-If" television automatically went black!

Luo Ge's heart trembled slightly.

What happened? Had he come under attack?

Suppressing his confusion, Luo Ge continued watching; the Xingxuhai Society might still display more scenes.

After a while.

The "What-If" television lit up again.

In the scene, he walked out of the secret room with Zeno and Silva; his face remained as indifferent as ever, while Zeno and Silva wore slight expressions of joy.

Seeing this, Luo Ge had already made his decision in his heart.

The next morning.

Luo Ge proactively sought out Zeno, and his very first sentence made Zeno extremely happy.

"Let's go."

Then, just as the television had played,

he, along with Zeno and Silva, went to the secret room.

And then—

He activated his Nen ability!

"Obtained item 【Ghost Gem】."

"Obtained item (Treasure) 【Millennium Meteor】."

"Obtained trait 【Cursed Body】."

"Obtained skill 【Wish】."
