The Chapter get Retranslated
The next day, 8 AM, breakfast time.
"Illumi."
Silva Zoldyck suddenly spoke, and Illumi, who was drinking milk, put down his cup and looked at him.
"You don't have to train today. I'm taking you somewhere."
Illumi nodded, indicating he understood. He quickly finished breakfast and walked towards the dining hall entrance with Silva.
Ilmi Zoldyck stared blankly as his father and Illumi left the dining hall, aimlessly poking at the rice in his bowl with his chopsticks.
Zeno Zoldyck lowered his eyelids, glanced casually, and continued eating.
"Hmm?"
Illumi, who was about to step out of the dining hall entrance, suddenly frowned slightly, paused, turned back, and looked at the three people sitting at the dining table.
"Greed and Jealousy?"
In Illumi's eyes, an extremely thick blue mist, representing greed, was currently entanglement around Ilmi Zoldyck, subtly showing signs of growing even denser.
Wrapped around his mother Kikyo Zoldyck was a thick pink mist, representing jealousy.
His grandfather Zeno Zoldyck was enveloped in a green emotion representing tranquility, with very little mist escaping. It was like a thin film covering his body, indicating that his mood at this moment had no fluctuations.
After three years of research, Illumi discovered that all colors of emotions had both positive and negative aspects.
For example, the blue mist around Ilmi Zoldyck represented both positive emotions like calmness, rationality, and prudence, and negative emotions like greed.
As for the pink emotion, it represented both positive emotions like charm, sensibility, and gentleness, and negative emotions like jealousy.
The colors that emotions represented were diverse.
And all of this required him to continuously explore and analyze.

"Thump... thump..."
In the gloomy, deep corridor of the mansion, two distinct footsteps echoed.
Illumi followed behind Silva Zoldyck, falling slightly half a step back.
Silva Zoldyck's emotions were very calm at this moment, his body covered in a dark blue mist representing composure and fortitude.
Neither of them spoke until they reached the main hall, where Zebro and Gotoh had been waiting for a long time.
"Master Silva, the departure has been arranged."
Zebro and Gotoh respectfully bowed to Silva Zoldyck. Both Zebro and Gotoh were covered in a light blue mist representing calmness, harmony, and rationality.
"Let's go."
Silva Zoldyck nodded. Zebro turned and walked towards the main entrance, while Gotoh waited for Silva Zoldyck and Illumi to pass before following behind them.
"Master, Young Master Illumi."
The two butlers guarding the main entrance respectfully bowed to Silva Zoldyck and Illumi, each grasping a handle on either side of the large door and pulling it open with a 'click'.
As Silva Zoldyck and Illumi passed through the gate, the two butlers at the entrance bowed again, seeing them off.
Outside the door, a sedan was already prepared, with a "Y" shaped logo that resembled a reversed Mercedes-Benz symbol.
Zebro and Gotoh walked to either side of the car, opening the doors for Silva Zoldyck and Illumi.
Silva Zoldyck entered from the right side, and Illumi from the left. Gotoh and Zebro then entered, guarding them on either side.
In the driver's seat sat a dedicated chauffeur.
The sedan drove all the way from the entrance of the Zoldyck Family Estate to a city near the mountainous region of the Padokea Republic.
There, a blimp bound for the city where Heavens Arena was located had already been arranged.
On the blimp, Illumi and Silva Zoldyck sat opposite each other, with Zebro and Gotoh guarding them.
"Is there nothing Young Master Illumi wishes to ask?"
Zebro looked at Illumi, who had been silent since leaving the house, and asked with a smile.
"For example, where are we going?"
Illumi, who had been looking out the window, turned his attention to Zebro, his eyelids lowered.
"If you wanted to tell me, you would have already."
"But even if you don't say anything, I've already guessed where you're taking me."
"Hohoho, I truly admire Young Master Illumi's intelligence and composure." Zebro smiled, a slight surprise in his heart; she couldn't recall showing any tells.
"He truly perfectly inherited Master Silva's excellent qualities."
Gotoh glanced at Illumi with a cold expression from the corner of his eye.
"This time, I'm taking you to Heavens Arena."
Silva Zoldyck spoke, looking directly at Illumi with a calm and harmonious expression.
"I want you to reach the 200th floor of Heavens Arena there."
"There's no time limit, but you cannot use any means other than official matches. This is to test the results of your training."
"If you can reach the 200th floor, you can begin accepting assassination missions from the family."
"At that time, you'll be free to leave home and act according to your own will."
Silva Zoldyck seemed to have seen through Illumi's thoughts, causing a hint of surprise to show on his usually calm face.
"How did Father know I wanted to leave home?"
Since becoming a member of the Zoldyck family, Illumi had never left Kukuroo Mountain, where the Zoldyck family resided.
The thought of leaving home had always been hidden deep in his heart, never expressed or shown to anyone.
"I am your father, of course, I know my son's thoughts perfectly well," Silva Zoldyck explained to Illumi with a fatherly demeanor.
"Zebro told me that you had already completed all your training progress half a year ago."
"Why didn't you come to me then?"
Upon hearing this, Illumi rested his left elbow on the table, propping up his chin, a slight curve on his lips.
"I didn't think I was strong enough to stand on my own at that time."
"Zebro wanted to keep me to strengthen my practical combat abilities, which is also what I needed."
"I thought, if even Zebro acknowledges that I can stand on my own..."
Illumi looked at Zebro, who was standing beside him, a wide smile spreading across his face as he spoke.
"...then I truly would be able to stand on my own."
"Hohoho, Young Master overestimates me," Zebro said modestly with a smile upon hearing this.
"I see. Then let me see the strength that Zebro has acknowledged."
Silva Zoldyck nodded thoughtfully. Zebro's strength was the greatest among all the Zoldyck family's butlers; if she acknowledged Illumi's strength, it indeed meant that Illumi possessed a certain level of power.
