Chapter 1109

The deal was settled, and the atmosphere at the dining table was significantly more relaxed. Seeing that Su Xiao didn't touch the food on the table, Zeno put down the chopsticks in his hand. This old man used both chopsticks and knives and forks when eating.

"Why, afraid that my Zoldyck family poisoned the food?"

As soon as Zeno finished speaking, other members of the Zoldyck family looked at Su Xiao.

"Of course."

Su Xiao's answer was very direct. Kalluto Zoldyck, the cross-dressing big shot, frowned.

"How could we poison the food..."

"Someone, help the guest change a portion of food."

Silva spoke. Two female butlers walked into the living room to help Su Xiao change the food. The food was indeed poisoned; this was arranged by Silva.

"Really... poisoned."

Kalluto Zoldyck lowered his head and ate silently.

"Before, you were a guest of unknown origin, but now you are an employer."

Silva's voice was a bit cold. This was his personality—serious, old-fashioned, and a very traditional assassin.

"No need for the meal. When can I see Maha Zoldyck?"

Su Xiao wouldn't touch any food provided by the Zoldyck family. Silva was an expert in using poison, and this guy also had a high level of attainment in biological mutation. That strong body had undergone unknown numbers of modifications, and even the poison of the Gold equipment 【Bian Dagger】 could be ignored.

"About two hours. You seem... to be going to challenge some powerful existence?"

Zeno had vaguely seen something.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if I clarify it with you. My main purpose in seeing Maha Zoldyck is to know if I will die if I fight him. If I will die, how long can I hold on?"

"Are you going to challenge the Hunter Association Chairman?"

Zeno's eyes shone with strange light. He was testing whether there were unknown risks in this commission.

"Something stronger than the Hunter Chairman."

"Are you crazy?"

"If you want to be strong, you always have to do some things that look crazy."

"..."

Zeno shook his head. His way of thinking was completely different from Su Xiao's.

"Can you reveal some? If you don't want to, forget it."

Zeno continued to test.

"Remember those things from the Yorknew auction last time?"

Su Xiao was talking about the Nilapan race that besieged the Yorknew auction last time, that kind of creature from the Dark Continent.

"Remember, that thing has a big background. If I'm not mistaken, that thing comes from the Dark Continent."

Zeno no longer hid the known information. Exchanging information appropriately was very beneficial.

"Not long ago, a group of strange creatures appeared near the 'East Gorteau Republic.' They hunt humans, livestock, etc. I'm very interested in this kind of creature."

"East Gorteau Republic? That autonomous country?"

Kalluto Zoldyck gritted his teeth, his face not looking very good.

"Oh? Kalluto has been to that country?"

Zeno signaled his grandson to continue.

"Went there once while executing a mission. The king of that autonomous country... is a very annoying guy."

Kalluto Zoldyck seemed unwilling to mention this matter more. The reason was simple: that king took a fancy to Kalluto Zoldyck's beauty, and Kalluto Zoldyck almost killed that king in anger at the time.

Hearing Kalluto Zoldyck's description, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang became interested. That gaze seemed to say: "Keep talking, this dog is very interested in this story."

"In other words, the things that appeared in the East Gorteau Republic are strong enough to make you come to find my grandfather to test, to test whether you will die in battle when you fight that thing?"

Zeno basically understood the general situation.

"Basically, that's it."

There was no need to hide the matter of the East Gorteau Republic at all. According to the time, the ant nest had likely already been built, and Chimera Ants had appeared in a legion system.

The reason Su Xiao didn't head to the vicinity of the East Gorteau Republic now was because the current Chimera Ants were too trashy—trashy to the point that Su Xiao could flatten the ant nest alone.

Even if the Ant King's three direct guards had been born, they couldn't stop Su Xiao. Su Xiao was indeed not a match for 1v3, but 3v3 was different. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would lure one away, Amu would hold one back, and Su Xiao would only need to deal with one direct guard.

Of course, this was just Su Xiao's assumption. He wouldn't go looking for trouble with the Chimera Ants now. Through the Derived World contact platform, Su Xiao learned that many Contractors had teamed up to "protect" the development of the Chimera Ants.

If the Ant King couldn't be born, the main quest would end in nothing. In that case, there would indeed be no need to bear the erasure penalty, but that would lead to zero profit in this Derived World.

Some weaker Contractors, of course, hoped for zero profit. They only needed to ensure they didn't die.

But not everyone thought this way. Regarding snatching the Ant King's heart, it was very likely that a situation would arise where as long as you obtained a part of the Ant King's heart, you could complete the main quest.

Su Xiao had received similar quests several times. Based on his judgment, the more complete the heart obtained, the higher the completion of the main quest, and the more generous the reward.

In this way, a situation would arise: the person who obtained the Ant King's heart would make a fortune, and those Contractors who didn't get the Ant King's heart, as long as they didn't want to die, would have to pay a high price to buy a small piece of the Ant King's heart.

This was competition. The strong got everything, and the weak could only wait for death. Reincarnation Paradise was not a charity organization; only capable people could survive here.

Therefore, when snatching the Ant King's heart, all Contractors would be exceptionally crazy, and a Some Qiyuezhe melee was very likely to occur.

"It seems something big is going to happen, but this has nothing to do with my Zoldyck family."

Zeno no longer tested about the East Gorteau Republic.

"It seems... related."

Illumi, who had been silent, spoke.

"How?"

The smile on old man Zeno's face disappeared a bit.

"Killua is near the East Gorteau Republic. He was in Yorknew before, and his current location is the border of the East Gorteau Republic."

Hearing this sentence, the smile on old man Zeno's face completely disappeared.

"This is indeed not good news. Killua needs to grow up outside, but he can't face such a strong enemy yet."

Zeno actually misunderstood the whole situation. He thought that with Su Xiao's current strength, it wasn't enough to retreat unscathed in the East Gorteau Republic, and he even needed to come to find Maha Zoldyck to experiment.

"Illumi, go bring Killua..."

"Father."

Silva interrupted Zeno's words.

"I promised Killua before that we won't interfere with his decisions anymore."

Zeno narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and sighed: "Then let him go."

"Father!"

Silva's wife, Kikyo, spoke. This was a beautiful woman with her face wrapped in bandages and wearing external electronic eyes.

"How can this be? Killua, he... he..."

Kikyo was already on the verge of going berserk. Killua was the apple of her eye. Of course, as a daughter-in-law of the Zoldyck family, her maternal love for Killua seemed a bit twisted, or rather, there were no normal people in the Zoldyck family.

"Shut up."

Silva's tone was flat. As soon as he spoke, Kikyo, who was chattering and extremely excited, seemed to have been pressed the mute button.

Su Xiao hadn't spoken the whole time. He felt that the people of the Zoldyck family were unexpectedly interesting.
