Thus, when Killua and Gon saw Leorio, all of them were completely dumbfounded.
Killua in particular was stunned. "Why is second brother here, and why is he tangled up with Leorio?!"
At that moment, in Killua and the others' eyes, Leorio and Milluki had already started fighting.
But because chubby second brother was basically terrible at hand-to-hand combat, and because he was still holding a limited-edition figurine, Leorio was afraid of breaking it and didn't dare hit too hard.
So the whole scene was bizarrely comical: one was jamming fingers into the other's huge nostrils, while the other was pinching his opponent's chubby face.
Roy stood to the side, thoroughly entertained by the sight.
He really hadn't expected Leorio and Milluki to run into each other, much less start fighting.
But it was understandable. In the original version, Leorio had been so busy worrying about Kurapika that he had overlooked a lot of things.
Now, with Roy's help, Leorio had more time to run his business and make money, so crossing paths with chubby second brother could only be called fate.
"Hey! Milluki, what are you doing here?!" Killua shouted anxiously.
"Killua?" Only then did Milluki notice Killua's arrival, but he immediately let out a haughty snort. With Leorio still squeezing his face, even his voice came out sounding weird.
"Why can't I be here? What's it to you?"
"You—?!" Killua was so annoyed his catlike eyes went sharp.
"What, Killua, you know this guy?" Leorio said with difficulty while getting his nostrils attacked.
"Yeah. He's my second brother!"
"Killua, you're actually with these guys?!" Seeing how familiar Killua seemed with the tall man in front of him, Milluki instantly flew into a rage.
"Like you said, what's it to you?" Killua shot Milluki a fierce eye-roll and returned the exact same words to him.
"Second brother?"
As Killua and Milluki bickered back and forth, both Leorio and Gon froze.
They had already met Killua's eldest brother before. Illumi's strength and personality had left an extremely deep impression on them.
And when they had gone to the Zoldyck family estate, they had met Killua's father, Silva, and grandfather, Zeno, which had thoroughly drilled the idea of "the Zoldyck family is terrifyingly strong" into them.
Moreover, whether it was Killua, Illumi, middle-aged Silva, or elderly Zeno, all of them had exceptionally good looks.
But this one...
This Zoldyck family member was round as a ball, and the only way he could fight someone was by poking at their nostrils...
For a moment, the towering mountain that the Zoldyck family represented in Gon's and Leorio's hearts showed signs of collapsing.
Leorio, however, was thinking even further ahead.
"So every family has a few disappointments? Even the Zoldycks aren't exempt?"
Sensing that odd look in Leorio's eyes, Milluki instantly exploded in anger.
"You bastard, what kind of look is that?!"
"Ow! Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a Zoldyck!"
"You already hit me, idiot!"
Watching the two noisy idiots in front of him, Killua felt a headache coming on.
Milluki, Killua's second brother and the Zoldyck family's second son, was overweight, loved snacks, and rarely went out to work. He usually stayed at the family estate, was highly skilled with computers and games, could make bombs, and loved collecting models and figurines.
Although he didn't particularly like Killua and considered him a huge pain to deal with, he still acknowledged Killua's strength.
Roy thought very highly of chubby second brother, and not just because he was the Zoldyck family's second son or because he was a Manipulation-Type Nen user.
It was because Milluki's computer skills were astonishing. He was a genuine master hacker. He had even hacked into the Hunters-only website. No matter how Leorio tried to explain it away, the truth was that he had gotten in directly.
That was the Hunter Association's own network, protected by plenty of cyber Hunters and hacker Hunters.
And even under those circumstances, chubby second brother had still managed to break in. That was enough to show that his talent with computers was truly world-class...
Chubby second brother could also make all kinds of weapons. His talent for research and development was no weaker than his talent with computers. Although he wasn't nearly as good at fighting as his other brothers, when it came to support work, he was absolutely the Zoldyck family's number one.
Even Zeno, a man who had seen it all, had once evaluated Milluki like this:
"He's got a great brain, but he's a little off."
That alone was enough to prove Milluki's intelligence was absolutely top-tier in the world. It was just painfully obvious that he had gone down the wrong path—or rather, that his personality and lifestyle had caused him to waste his gifts.
He was hopelessly addicted to otaku obsessions, loved snacks and good food, and since he never lacked money, he had fed himself into the shape of a pig.
The Zoldyck family was a family of natural beauties. Even though chubby second brother's face was now round as a ball, you could still tell his features were delicate.
Every fat guy has hidden potential.
[I recommend looking up some pictures of second brother after slimming down. Personally, I think his looks are no worse than Illumi's~]
But now that Roy had run into second brother, there was no way he was going to let Milluki keep wasting his talent like this. Milluki was only eighteen! It still wasn't too late!
For a moment, Roy's gaze toward Milluki was filled with nothing but appreciation for an uncut gem.
Once Roy dragged chubby second brother back onto the right track, his extraordinary talent would definitely shock the entire world.
When that time came, chubby second brother would surely become Roy's most dependable right-hand man.
...
In the end, the conflict between Milluki and Leorio was stopped by Roy.
The main reason was that the moment Milluki saw Roy appear in front of him, he instantly forgot everything else. He even tossed the figurine to the flustered Leorio and ran up to Roy with an excited expression.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Roy? The Mr. Roy who drew Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon?"
The excitement in Milluki's tiny eyes was impossible to hide, and his hands waved around wildly, making Killua's mouth twitch from the side.
This guy was seriously disgracing the Zoldyck family.
"If there isn't a second manga artist named Roy, then that should be me."
