"Tsk Enhancement-type people will never change their explosive tempers, even in death."
'People run on the ground, while Grandpa flies in the sky...' Sean glanced at Zeno, who was streaking overhead.
He kicked Mike, the big dog who had come over to join the fun, out of the way. The damn dog had probably never seen such a majestic "creature" in its entire dog life, and it ran off, yelping and wagging its tail.
"100... 200... 300..."
After a short warm-up before the electroshock, he saw the butler's manor was in sight.
Sean saw the two little kids, Amane and Canary, again.
Thanks to Tsubone's introduction, the kids recognized Sean, but they looked up at his exaggerated size...
And immediately burst into tears again with a "Waaah"!
"Grandma lied Young Master isn't this big. This is clearly a ghost"
'A ghost? Aren't they right' After all, the main gate of their Zoldyck family was called—the Gate of Hades.
'Aren't those inside the gate all ghosts...'
Sean smiled. In a playful mood, he leaned down to the floor-to-ceiling window and breathed out, "Haa"
The two kids shrieked "Waaah" and huddled together in a ball.
"Young Master..." Tsubone was stationed at the butler's manor. Hearing the commotion, she came out to look.
She sighed helplessly, pressing down on Amane's and Canary's heads with one hand each as she bowed to Sean.
Getting caught red-handed by their grandmother, even Sean, with the experience of two lifetimes, couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He immediately deactivated his expanded state, gave Tsubone an awkward smile, and asked, "Tsubone, where is Gotoh?"
'I asked him to prepare a 100,000-volt stun baton. I wonder if he managed to get it.'
That's right. After learning "Nin-Taijutsu," Sean gradually discovered that his tolerance for "electric currents" had increased significantly.
Now, 50,000 volts felt like nothing; he had to increase the intensity.
"He is training several new butlers. It should be... ending soon." Tsubone rubbed Amane's and Canary's little heads, her squinting eyes sizing up Sean. "If my old eyes aren't deceiving me, Young Master's form just now was a 'Nen ability,' wasn't it?"
A giantification Nen ability. In all her years serving the Zoldyck family, Tsubone had never seen such a thing.
"I guess so," Sean said with his hands in his pockets, shrugging.
'Logically speaking, the "items" and "skills" are just extensions of my own Nen ability, "Sage AI"...'
But since it concerned his own secrets, Sean wasn't stupid enough to expose his trump card.
After all, in the world of Hunter x Hunter, famous for its "battles of wits," the element of surprise could often catch an opponent off guard.
Idiots who revealed their Nen ability right at the start were usually the first to die.
"As I thought..." Tsubone looked deeply at Sean. Ignoring the hair color, and considering the "water walking" Sean had demonstrated last time... for him to be able to use Nen to this extent at only ten years old...
'He's just like Silva was as a child... No, he might even surpass him.'
Her thoughts drifted, and for a moment, the old butler seemed to have returned to the time when she used to help Silva pee.
About five or six minutes later, Gotoh's appearance interrupted her thoughts.
"My apologies, Young Master, for making you wait. The 100,000-volt stun baton custom-made for you has arrived." The young butler, sporting a sexy full beard, held a thick, hard baton in his hand. He looked like trouble.
"Turn it on and let's try." Sean's face lit up with joy. He skillfully lifted his training uniform, revealing his impressive abs.
"Yes." Gotoh pressed the button and jabbed it straight at him... Tsubone's eyelids twitched in shock. She didn't even care about Amane and Canary anymore; she slapped him to the ground with one blow!
"Are you crazy!" Tsubone was furious. "Gotoh, are you trying to kill the Young Master?"
The pink-haired silverback gorilla was no joke when angered. Tsubone followed up with a kick, aiming to stomp on Gotoh's head.
But she was pulled aside by a suddenly appearing arm.
"I'm the one who told him to do it."
Tsubone nearly stumbled, looking in astonishment at Sean, who was blocking her way in front of Gotoh.
She never expected Sean's strength to be this great!
'That pull was at least five or six thousand jin. He's not far from a "power limit break."'
Cultivation was about cultivating both life and nature. To seek externally was to sense the heavens, the earth, and all things. To seek internally was to break one's own shackles.
Breaking the body's many limitations to obtain greater power was "seeking internally."
Setting a Condition, vowing to abide by it, and binding oneself to find another path was "seeking externally."
When Tsubone was young, she had trained with Maha for a period. Through that exposure, she had broken the first limit on her body's strength.
Only then did she gain her current exaggerated physique and a strength of nearly ten thousand jin.
Even so, she was unexpectedly pulled into a stumble by Sean. Even factoring in her own momentary carelessness... it didn't stop her from realizing—
Sean's current physical attributes were extraordinary!
"I was presumptuous. Please punish me, Young Master." Realizing Sean's "uniqueness," Tsubone placed her right hand on her chest and knelt on one knee.
Amane and Canary, not yet realizing what had happened, knelt down as well in a daze.
Sean frowned at the sight.
"I can't control what others do, but in front of me, no kneeling."
'What era is this? Still playing these feudal games?'
'Even that old geezer Maha knows how to look at H-manga on his phone...'
Turning his body to avoid the bow, Sean put his hands in his pockets and threw out a line, "Gotoh, let's go."
In an instant, he was out of the butler's manor.
"Yes, Young Master." Gotoh scrambled to his feet, patting the dust off his black tailcoat.
He nodded to Tsubone and followed with the baton in hand.
Only Tsubone and the two little ones were left, staring blankly at Sean's departing figure.
But the person was already gone, and she couldn't catch up...
Sean had no time to waste on them.
He arrived at the familiar basement.
He pushed open the door...
And happened to run into Illumi, who had come for electro-therapy.
For some reason, his stupid little brother had become obsessed with electro-therapy recently. He wouldn't feel comfortable if he didn't get zapped a few times a day.
Seemingly sensing Sean's confusion, Gotoh leaned in and whispered to him, "Young Master, Young Master Illumi might be secretly learning from you."
The image of Illumi snatching the stun baton and knocking himself out was still fresh in his mind... Gotoh felt his judgment was probably correct.
"Secretly learning from me?" Sean glanced at Illumi, a playful smile on his face.
'Trying to copy everything will only hurt you stupid little brother...'
Stepping forward to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Illumi, Sean noticed Illumi's gaze repeatedly darting between the 10,000-volt and 50,000-volt stun batons.
He shook his head in feigned disappointment. "What real man still uses a 50,000-volt baton?"
"Gotoh, bring out my 100,000-volt baton. We're playing with this today!"
Illumi, who had just gritted his teeth and extended his right hand toward the 50,000-volt baton, froze upon hearing this.
He turned his head expressionlessly to look at Sean, and without looking back, said to Gotoh, "Bring it. I'm first!"
"I'm impressed!" Sean patted Illumi's shoulder in gratification. "Illumi You're a real man."
"I don't need your nonsense!" Illumi shook Sean's hand off his shoulder, snatched the stun baton from Gotoh's hand, turned it on, aimed it at his own abdomen, and jabbed it in hard
"Zzzzt"
"It's only a hundred thousand volts, nothing but—"
"Plop" A smell of roasted meat wafted out. His stupid little brother's eyes went dark, and he collapsed to the ground, sleeping very peacefully.
"Sigh I overestimated you." Sean sighed at the sight and gestured to Gotoh, "Dig a hole and bury him."
Gotoh: "..."
