The Chapter get Retranslated
"Honestly, what a useless guy."
Looking at Ivan Douglas, who was lying on the ground clutching his throat, the purple-clad figure threw back his hood, revealing long golden hair.
"The pointless struggles of a small fry are truly ugly."
Illumi looked at Ivan Douglas, whose eyes had rolled back. In that instant, he had seen the other person strike Ivan's throat with his knuckles.
If his guess was correct, Ivan Douglas was likely unconscious from suffocation by now.
"Is it really okay for you to do that to him?"
"Aren't you comrades?"
Illumi smiled at the other person. The long golden-haired man turned to face Illumi, taking steps until he was seven paces in front of Illumi.
"I'm not here to cause trouble."
"He told you, we're here to entertain you."
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Drake, Drake Drummond."
Drake grinned at Illumi, revealing two rows of neat white teeth, and put his hands on his hips.
"Unlike that trash on the ground, I'm not a gangster."
"I'm from the Kaiser Group."
"Oh, and you seem not to know what the Kaiser Group is. Simply put, it's one of the top hundred companies in this country."
Drake stepped in front of Illumi, bent down to meet his gaze, and grinned.
"You're very interesting. My boss wants to meet you."
"Alright."
Illumi found it amusing. What could a top hundred company in the Padokea Republic want with a child like him?
"The meeting will be at 10 AM three days from now. By then, I should have already reached the 200th floor."
Illumi smiled as he bypassed Drake, slowly walking out of the dark alley filled with the stench of blood.
"Honestly, I didn't expect him to be so agreeable."
"Should have just said so earlier."
Standing deep in the alley, Drake watched the other person's back slowly disappear around the corner. He walked over to the fallen Ivan and gave him a hard kick with a "thud."
"It's all your fault, you useless trash, wasting my time."
"I think I'll just leave you here to feed the dogs."
After venting, Drake put his hood back on, ignored Ivan Douglas on the ground, and walked out of the alley with his hands in his pockets, leaving behind blood and three corpses.

Illumi returned to the Heavens Arena, pushed open his room door with a "click," and entered his private room.
The first thing he did upon entering the room was to wash up. He had just killed three people, and there was a faint scent of blood on him that needed to be removed.
"My first time killing, other than feeling a bit nauseous, I don't seem to have any other feelings."
Lying in a bathtub full of warm water, Illumi stared at the ceiling, recalling the sensation of killing.
Aside from the initial slight nausea, he had killed without any psychological barrier. Beyond that, there was a surge of hot-blooded excitement and pleasure rising from his heart.
It was the pleasure humans derived from slaughter, the pleasure of trampling life at will.
Killing was like a drug, and Illumi was subtly captivated by that pleasure, as if the meaning of life lay within it, within that warm, crimson blood.
Illumi lay in the bathtub, savoring that hot-blooded excitement and pleasure.
Thirty minutes later...
Illumi, dressed in his pajamas, stood in the room with his eyes closed, hands bent into a circle in front of his chest.
"Place your hands in front of your chest, and imagine a ball floating in your mind."
What Illumi was doing now was the prerequisite for awakening Nen abilities: sensing Ren, the dormant energy within the body.
First, one imagines a spherical object floating in the mind, and by continuously cultivating one's mental power in this manner every day,
The cultivator will one day feel that peculiar energy and eventually release it.
Based on normal human aptitude, it might take two or three days for the quick ones, and possibly a week for the slow ones.
But Illumi was different. He had meditated since he was three years old, and his mental power had been honed over many years, far exceeding that of ordinary people.
"I feel it!"
Suddenly, Illumi, whose eyes were tightly closed, opened them. He felt that peculiar energy, that unique energy called Ren.
"Let's try it."
Illumi's hands remained in the same position in front of his chest, but in his mind, he was working hard to activate the energy he felt.
"Sphere of energy in the right hand."
A translucent, peculiar energy surged from Illumi's body, converging on his right fist, forming a spherical energy that enveloped it.
"Sphere of energy in the left hand."
He again gathered that energy to his left hand, and Nen energy, like thought, naturally formed a spherical energy in his left hand.
"And then, a spherical energy at the fingertip."
Illumi extended his index finger, condensing Ren to the tip of his index finger, forming another spherical energy.
Only a mere minute had passed from Illumi closing his eyes to successfully releasing Ren.
Based on Illumi's own estimation, his talent was probably on the same level as Gon and Killua.
Of course, this was merely sensing Ren. He was still far from awakening Nen abilities and mastering them.
He needed to use meditation to make Ren flow smoothly throughout his body, opening his Aura Nodes one by one.
This was a very long training process. Unlike forcibly opening Aura Nodes to quickly awaken Nen abilities, this was the gentlest method.
According to his estimation,
If Zushi's talent was that of a genius born only once in a hundred thousand people, and he took three months to feel Ren throughout his body and open all his Aura Nodes.
And then another three months to train in the Four Major Principles of Nen.
Then Illumi could completely open all his Aura Nodes within a week, and possibly even in just three days.
Once all the Aura Nodes are open, one can begin practicing the basics of Nen, the Four Major Principles: Ten, Zetsu, Ren, and Hatsu.
Once the Four Major Principles are fully mastered, one can begin to attempt to awaken the desired Nen ability.
"Next, it's continuous meditation, letting Ren fill my entire body."
Illumi sat on the bed. He aimed to open all his Aura Nodes within three days, so he could practice the Four Major Principles as quickly as possible and master Nen abilities.

Early morning, 06:10 AM.
The first ray of morning sunlight streamed through the window into the room, "waking" Illumi from his meditation.
"Not tired at all."
Illumi looked at his hands, two translucent masses of Ren covering his skin.
Even after meditating all night, he was still very energetic, without a hint of fatigue.
Although he had undergone Zoldyck Family training and could normally go three days and three nights without sleep, this was completely different.
Before he felt Ren, he could mentally endure a night without sleep, but the physical fatigue was real.
But now, not only his mind, but his body also felt no fatigue at all.
Furthermore, he was now like someone who had taken stimulants, filled with inexhaustible energy.
