Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 102 Assassin Attack

Lucci learned some information about Gourmet Hunter from Netero.

His focus on culinary arts is very idealistic.

If it were simply a matter of infusing Nen into the ingredients, then Gourmet Hunters could do it easily, but the dishes cooked that way would still have Nen attached to them.

However, it won't be mistaken by Gourmet Hunters for reciting cooking instructions.

Only when "heartfelt intention" is infused into the cooking process, causing a qualitative change in the dish, will they be considered to be Nen cuisine.

This kind of thing is usually something that happens by chance and can't be sought after.

Once this kind of nen cuisine is made, it will also have magical effects, although the specific effects are uncertain.

It is related to the "intentions" at that time.

Based on the Nen cuisine that Netero has seen, most of it has the effect of healing and saving lives.

A small portion can help assist in cultivation.

Furthermore, it is not necessary to be a gourmet hunter to cook Nen dishes. Some chefs can also cook special Nen dishes under certain circumstances, even if the other party does not have Nen ability.

Lu Qi didn't think this was a problem. As long as there were more people, "miracles" would eventually happen. He just needed to summarize the "miracles" and figure out the patterns.

Approach it with a scientific and hands-off attitude.

Lucci was about to have a deep conversation with Netero.

But suddenly I sensed that Julia was borrowing spiritual energy.

Considering Julia had only left the Sky Arena not long ago, what happened?

My gaze involuntarily shifted.

The contract mark does not allow Lucci to control the other party's life or death.

But it's enough for Lucci to do many things. He can observe the other party's situation through the contract mark, and he can also perform point-to-point teleportation.

According to Lucci's understanding, it's an enhanced version of the Flying Thunder God Mark.

A sudden urge to borrow money can only mean something bad has happened.

A car accident occurred on a highway.

To be precise, the vehicle overturned and slid.

Next to the highway was a park, from which came various roaring sounds.

"Sister! Sister!" On the other side, Eva had completely lost her mind, holding a cross and constantly using her powers on a body next to her.

"Don't... waste your energy... now you... need to hurry... save your master... cough cough!"

Eve hadn't expected to encounter this situation.

They have been Julia's bodyguards for over a decade, during which time they have encountered numerous undercover agents and attacks.

But from the moment they mastered Nen, they were never ordinary people, and no one has ever succeeded in doing so.

But today they encountered the most formidable assassin.

The attackers first ambushed them from the park, causing their car to overturn.

Eva quickly escaped from the car with Julia.

But no sooner had he escaped than he was subjected to a heart-wrenching experience.

Eve didn't even have time to activate her powers before her heart was "stolen" and crushed.

As for Eva, because she was in the driver's seat and wasn't very vigilant, she was a little late in escaping from the car.

This also saved her from the assassin's attack.

The one who attacked them was naturally Silva Zoldyck.

After Eva got out of the car, she found her sister lying on the ground and immediately used her ability to try to save her.

However, Eve's heart was removed and crushed, and Eve's abilities were not yet sufficient to directly regenerate a heart.

At best, this can only delay Eve's death; it can't save her at all.

Julia immediately hid in the woods of the park.

There were many people around, but they didn't know what had happened. However, they had already called the hospital and the police.

Eve wants Eve to help Julia.

But Eva was completely worried about her sister. She was in a panic. She knew very well that if she let go, her sister would definitely die.

"Eva...you can't save...I...go help...Julia...sister..." Eve said anxiously.

They no longer refer to Julia as their master.

Since Julia rescued them from their orphanage, they have come to regard Julia as family.

Julia is the same.

They weren't exactly bodyguards either.

"No...no...I don't want you to leave..." Eva said stubbornly.

She was certainly worried about Julia, but she couldn't let go of her own sister.

Although this might mean she can't protect either of them.

In the park's forest.

Julia collapsed and vomited blood.

Of course, the spiritual energy emanating from her remained undiminished.

"You're quite good for a female mob boss," Silba complimented Julia Conrad.

Julia didn't get very far before Silva caught up with her.

She couldn't escape far from the Zoldyck family's assassins.

It's just that Lucci's Nen is faster; otherwise, Julia would have died long ago.

Of course, even with her immense Nen, Julia was not able to completely defend against Silva's attack.

The reason for this is that Julia's use of psychic abilities is too poor.

Even if one borrows spiritual energy, whether one can unleash sufficient power remains to be seen.

Julia is one of the reasons why she has only been a Nen user for a short time, and also because she is the mayor and the head of the Conrad family.

She simply didn't have time to cultivate; she had too many other things to do.

"Who hired you to kill me?" Julia asked.

Try to stall for time.

If it were Lord Lucci, there might still be a chance to save me.

Julia held this thought in her mind.

"There's no need to waste time." Silva's hand transformed into sharp claws. The Zoldyck family's ability to utilize their bones, combined with Nen, resulted in a powerful attack.

He kept his eyes fixed, searching for Julia's weak point.

The contractual lending of Nen is not an unlimited borrowing; even if Lucci doesn't have that much Nen, he himself still needs to bear the consequences.

A person can borrow up to twice their own capacity of mental energy; any more than that and their body cannot withstand it.

Julia herself wasn't strong; she was already doing quite well to be able to block several fatal attacks by relying on her borrowed Nen.

Whether it's a unique quirk or not, Silva still goes straight for the heart, showing a bit of a heart-draining maniac vibe.

Faced with the fierce attack, Julia had no way to dodge.

He wondered to himself, "Am I really going to die here?"

Having come this far, Julia is not afraid to close her eyes when faced with the possibility of certain death.

It was as if I were witnessing my own death.

It looked like Silva was about to succeed.

Suddenly, someone appeared next to Julia.

It could only be Lucci.

It was a direct kick.

Silva hadn't expected anyone to appear in this way, and he was kicked away by Lucci.

It knocked down several trees.

"Silva Zoldyck?"
