July 15, 1984, Aztec Republic, Santo Domingo region.
Lest Koriya returned to his drug trafficking group's stronghold with Zane Truesdale and Greed, using them to kill those who had opposed and betrayed him, quickly reclaiming his boss status.
"Chichi…"
A Jeep stopped at the edge of the Santo Domingo Military Region. A fat man in a T-shirt and two men in black trench coats stepped out.
"Hey, listen."
Lest Koriya paused, turned around, and held out his hands to Zane Truesdale and Greed in a calming gesture.
"General Ilya is not just a warlord; he also deals in drugs and arms. Anything that makes big money, he's in."
"Most importantly, he doesn't like drug lords."
"So, the plan is, I'm going to say I'm…"
But before Lest Koriya finished speaking, Greed and Zane Truesdale walked past him, heading towards the heavily guarded military forbidden zone.
"If you're scared, stay here, but this representative must be replaced by someone else."
Lest Koriya swallowed hard and followed them.
Replacing a representative probably meant replacing him entirely, and promoting someone else from his drug trafficking group.
He had witnessed how terrifying Greed was; he literally took pleasure in killing.

Pegurose, Umbrella Corporation Headquarters.
It was a scorching summer day. Guards patrolled the perimeter of the Weapon Research Institute with assault rifles. Two guards met and exchanged greetings.
"How are things?"
"It's hell, I'm practically dying from the heat!"
The two guards "greeted" each other and walked past.
Just then, a guard, taking advantage of his patrol time, came to an unmanned corner outside the Weapon Research Institute, put down his rifle, pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his怀, lit one with a "click," and took a satisfying puff.
"Shasha…"
Suddenly, a faint rustling sound came from behind him. The guard's expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned around with his rifle.
"Mmmph…"
But just as he turned, a black figure appeared from behind him, covering his mouth with a left hand, pushing him to the ground, pressing a knee into his waist, and using a right hand shaped like an eagle's claw to grip the guard's spine and lift hard.
"Clack…"
With a crisp sound of bones, the guard on the ground twitched and passed out from the pain.
The intruder then removed the guard's uniform and boots.
A moment later, the intruder, disguised as the guard, walked towards the main entrance of the Weapon Research Institute.
"Neville, didn't I tell you to patrol the other side?"
But as he approached the main entrance of the Weapon Research Institute, a guard captain stationed there spotted him from a distance and reminded him.
The intruder paused, seemingly puzzled as to how the other person recognized the guard's identity at a glance. He looked down and saw a name tag on the left chest of the uniform.
Sighing, the intruder, disguised as the guard, said nothing and continued to approach the main entrance.
"Neville, did you not hear what I said?"
The guard captain frowned, walked towards him, stood in front of him, and looked at Neville, who was still looking down, his tone stern.
"Lift your head!"
The intruder smirked, slowly raised his head, revealing an unfamiliar face, and the guard captain's expression changed instantly.
"You…"
The moment the guard captain spoke, the intruder reached out and touched his face. A translucent white qi flowed into the guard captain's body, preventing him from making a sound.
The guards at the entrance, whose attention had been drawn by the captain's voice, turned their heads and saw the captain and the other person seemingly conversing, with nothing unusual.
"Thump… thump…"
The guard captain turned and walked towards the main entrance of the Weapon Research Institute, his steps halting, as if he were a puppet.
The intruder followed closely behind the guard captain, slowly approaching the main entrance step by step. The guard captain ahead, however, was sweating profusely, watching himself get closer and closer to the main entrance, yet unable to speak or control his body.
"Captain?"
Finally, when the two arrived at the main entrance, the four guards stationed there noticed their captain's abnormality and the beads of sweat on his face, immediately becoming vigilant.
"Swish, swish…"
But before the four guards at the entrance could realize that the person behind their captain was the enemy, the intruder moved with extreme speed to stand before them, touching each of their faces.
The guards' movements froze, their vigilance disappearing as they returned to their posts, holding their rifles and guarding the main entrance.
But if anyone looked closely, they would notice their abnormality.
Guards should be observant of all around them, but these four guards stared straight ahead, their eyeballs completely still, their eyelids unblinking.
"Umbrella Corporation, easy mode."
The intruder, disguised as a guard, sneered, controlling the guard captain's body to press his palm against the palm print and vein scanner at the entrance.
"Beep!"
"Access granted."
Ordinary guards did not have access to the institute, but the guard captain responsible for its security did.
With a "click," the heavy door opened.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"
However, the moment the door opened, a series of whistling sounds filled the air, and four black spikes shot up from the ground behind him, attacking him.
"What!?"
Faced with this sudden attack, the intruder was clearly startled. As the black spikes were about to hit him, he immediately controlled the nearby guard captain, who lunged forward and "bang"ed into him, pushing him aside.
"Puff puff puff…"
The guard captain's body trembled, his limbs pierced, his eyes wide with excruciating pain, yet he couldn't even scream.
"That was close."
The intruder picked himself up from the ground, looking at the guard, whose limbs were pierced by the strange black spikes, a chill running down his spine.
"Whoosh whoosh…"
But he had no time to celebrate; a large number of black spikes suddenly burst from the ground around him, attacking him.
"So many more!"
The intruder looked at the black spikes coming from all directions, his face grim. He was about to leap into the air.
"Swish!"
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the sky turned completely black, and he couldn't see anything.
"Ah~!"
Accompanied by a series of "puff puff" sounds of flesh being pierced, the intruder's scream echoed throughout the entire industrial park.
"Oh, we're back to normal!"
Instantly, the four guards at the entrance regained control of their bodies, their faces filled with joy.
But they immediately reacted, all aiming their rifles to shoot the intruder, but as they turned, their expressions froze.
At this moment, other patrolling guards also quickly rushed over at the sound, and their steps also halted as they looked at the scene in front of the institute's door.
"This, this is…"
A giant black hemisphere stood on the ground, and human screams of pain emanated from within.
"Boss…"
The guard captain, his body pierced by black spikes and hanging in mid-air in a "wood" shape, looked at the figure standing not far away with a pale face, struggling to speak.
Illumi Zoldyck glanced at him with a cold expression. The four black spikes "whoosh"ed back, and the guard captain's body "thump"ed to the ground, blood continuously flowing from his wounds.
"Send him to the infirmary."
"Yes!"
Illumi Zoldyck ordered, and two guards stood at attention, immediately stepping forward to carry the captain quickly to the infirmary.
"Prepare the tranquilizer gun."
Illumi Zoldyck instructed the guards, then looked back at the giant black hemisphere. With a thought, the black sphere instantly disappeared.
"Ah ah…"
The intruder, disguised as a guard, had his four limbs pierced by spikes, hanging in mid-air in a "wood" shape, struggling fruitlessly from time to time.
"Bang bang…"
After the black sphere disappeared, the guards immediately aimed their prepared tranquilizer guns at the intruder. Three gunshots rang out, and specialized tranquilizer darts struck his neck.
"Ugh…"
As the anesthetic was injected into his body, the intruder immediately became drowsy and disoriented.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"
Under Illumi Zoldyck's control, numerous black threads bound the intruder, and the four black spikes were "plop"ped out, bringing out a large amount of blood.
"You all continue guarding."
With these words, a large amount of shadows rose from the ground, transforming into a massive black wolf. It carried the intruder's body and followed behind Illumi Zoldyck, slowly leaving.
Ten minutes later, Biotechnology Research Institute.
The intruder, disguised as a guard, was placed on a human potential activation operating table by Illumi Zoldyck and three doctors. Shackles made of special alloy bound his injured limbs.
Illumi Zoldyck stared emotionlessly at this Nen user whose four limbs he had pierced. This was the first intruder he had encountered in a month.
One might say he was lucky, or unlucky, to have encountered Illumi Zoldyck just as he finished his training and came to Kipsil Aguilar's Weapon Research Institute.
"Wake him up."
Illumi Zoldyck commanded, and Dr. Ballard nodded, pressing a red button on the instrument.
"Buzz buzz…"
A current sound rang out, and the body bound to the operating table immediately convulsed. The sleeping intruder was instantly awakened by the electric shock, his eyes wide open, his mouth agape, but his entire body was so paralyzed that he couldn't even make a sound.
"Tell me, why did you come to the Weapon Research Institute and not the new antibiotic research institute?"
After a long time, Illumi Zoldyck saw that he seemed to have returned to normal, and asked with curiosity.
This Nen user actually had some skill; his Nen ability was primarily focused on controlling others. Many guards couldn't even resist after coming into contact with him.
"Cough cough…"
The intruder coughed, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Illumi Zoldyck.
He was an experienced Nen user, yet he couldn't even escape when he encountered this person; he was instantly severely wounded.
"I took a commission to assassinate Kipsil Aguilar…"
The assassin's name was Dax. He accepted a commission from a man named Wilbert for 500 million Jenny to assassinate Kipsil Aguilar.
Using the information and data provided by the client, he came to the Umbrella Corporation Headquarters, intending to assassinate Kipsil Aguilar.
Illumi Zoldyck raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Kipsil Aguilar's release from prison was known to his enemies, probably after Hannyabal died.
The other party had good methods, being able to track them all the way to Umbrella Corporation.
"I'll leave him to you to handle, dead or alive, it's up to you."
"However, don't let him touch your skin; he can control people with his Nen ability."
After asking, Illumi Zoldyck said to the three doctors, then stepped back slightly.
He intended to observe the new method of human potential activation that the three doctors had developed.
"Hehe, this is rare Nen user material, don't worry."
Dr. Boyce came to the operating table, holding a helmet to cover the assassin's head, and sneered.
"What are you doing!?"
The assassin looked at Dr. Boyce's fervent gaze, then glanced at the white uniform on his body, and immediately understood his current predicament, a strong fear rising in his heart.
"Clang clang…"
He struggled violently on the operating table, disregarding his physical injuries.
"We need to calm him down."
Dr. Boyce frowned, looking at Dr. Baldwin, who nodded and came to the operating table, injecting the prepared tranquilizer into the assassin's body.
"Le-let go…"
The assassin quickly lost his strength and stopped struggling, but he was not an ordinary person after all, and his consciousness remained clear.
"Don't be nervous, we're just performing a small operation on you."
Dr. Boyce chuckled, then installed the helmet on his head, after which he left the operating table and looked at Dr. Ballard, signaling that they could begin.
Illumi Zoldyck narrowed his eyes. In fact, the old version of the human potential activation method developed by the three doctors had already been perfected three months ago; now, they were merely researching how to maximize the effect of human potential activation.
"Hiss hiss…"
Dozens of slender black and red plant tentacles suddenly extended from beneath the operating table. Illumi Zoldyck frowned slightly; this was different from what he had seen before.
"Chh chh chh…"
The three doctors' new method of human potential activation was still very simple: dozens of red tentacles, like black needles, inserted themselves into various parts of the assassin's body.
After about five minutes, all the black and red tentacles automatically retracted, disappearing back under the operating table.
"Why is there no reaction?"
Illumi Zoldyck frowned slightly, looking at the assassin lying motionless on the operating table, and asked.
He calmly observed the assassin; the man's body showed no movement, his mental state was unchanged, still in its original state.
"Don't worry, activating the full potential of the human body requires waiting."
"Unlike the previous activation method, this is a parasitic experiment, and it carries a very high risk."
Dr. Boyce replied. He, along with Dr. Ballard and Dr. Baldwin, was observing the experimental subject's various physical data on the instrument.
"How dangerous?"
Illumi Zoldyck asked. Dr. Baldwin looked up at Illumi Zoldyck, revealing a sinister smile, and said.
"Over eighty percent chance of direct death."
"Don't be dissatisfied; this mortality rate is already the result of our long-term research and optimization."
Illumi Zoldyck closed his eyes and shook his head. This mortality rate was too high; it would never be applicable to other soldiers, let alone ordinary people who wanted to prolong their lives and unleash their potential.
"There's movement."
Suddenly, Dr. Ballard spoke, and Illumi Zoldyck refocused his attention on the assassin on the operating table.
"Roar!!!"
The assassin's helmet-covered eyes on the operating table suddenly snapped open, letting out a painful roar, and his body convulsed continuously. His muscles swelled, and veins snaked and twisted like small snakes all over his body.
