Chapter 1123: Negotiations and suggestions
Thanks to Su Xiao being able to fight Maha Zoldik on equal terms, they ended up becoming partners instead of " subordinate and superior».
Now all they had to do was check on each other.
There were two ways to get a hidden mission, but with enough power, you could significantly shorten this path and get to the level that Maha himself recognized.
Once a person showed themselves to be strong enough, they would benefit from it in all aspects, not to mention negotiations.
Besides, Silva had poisoned Su Xiao's food in the beginning, and even though this was their chance, Su Xiao didn't hesitate to destroy this chance in the bud, which was an unexpected surprise for Silva.
To negotiate with such a family, if a person wasn't strong enough, they had to be very charismatic. Given Su Xiao's amount of charisma, he would end up being poisoned at the first 'warm welcome' of this family.
After making the deal, Su Xiao and Maha could only wait for the right moment.
Since they had reached a certain agreement, Maha Zoldik was in a good mood. There was a smile on his wrinkled face that made him look even uglier.
Although Maha spoke unflattering words about his great-great-grandson, in reality he was not speaking about him, but about the creature inside Alluka.
And all the Zoldik family photos didn't show Alluka.
Whether it was Maha, Zeno, or his son, they all thought that Alluka was something sinister and dark, but in reality, Zeno and Silva were not disgusted by Alluki. They even showed concern for him. Although they often put him under house arrest, they met most of Alluka's unusual demands.
The only thing they hated was the creature inside Alluka, Nanika.
After all, Alluka was only a child. He was only 12 years old. The only thing that made him different from the other kids was that he wore women's clothes and acted like a girl when he was a boy.
As for why Alluka was like this, it wasn't personal preference, but his desire to please some of his mother's expectations. When Kikyo gave birth to three sons, she inevitably started wanting to give birth to a daughter, which eventually resulted in Kikyo starting to raise Alluki as a girl.
And besides that, Alluka dressed like a girl because of Nanika. This creature from the Dark Continent was a woman.
Maha, having been reborn on the Dark Continent, brought darkness in his body, and eventually a part of it settled in Alluka's body.
Nanika had two abilities. If you fulfill its three requirements, then it provided an opportunity to fulfill any desire, but even the fulfillment of a desire carried risks.
At a minimum, Nanika could not create something out of thin air, but she could already transfer something that was lying somewhere, which was radically different from the action of the Holy Grail from the world of " Fate: The Beginning».
And even though she could grant almost any wish, the risks were too great. The more complex the wish of the previous person that she fulfilled, the more complex her three requests were.
If a person is unable to fulfill her four requests, Nanika will become very unhappy and even cry, and the person will at best be rolled up into a tube.
The worst case scenario would be that everyone he knew would be rolled up with him.
This was Nanika's first ability, and her second ability was healing.
It could cure what seemed incurable, and it could dispel very powerful negative effects.
But compared to healing, Nanika was very good at destroying.
The Zoldick family has already learned bloody lessons more than once.
As for what Nanika was, Maha didn't say anything about it, and Su Xiao wasn't interested. Judging from the current situation, Nanika was not a threat to him and could even become his ally.
Of course, he hadn't even counted on Nanika to help him in battle. Its destructive power was only aimed at those who wanted to make a wish. Moreover, Nanika wasn't omnipotent. There were many things she couldn't do.
And more importantly, Maha said that Nanika was very scared when she entered Mount Kukuru. She was so scared that she finally decided to hide in Alluka's body and keep a low profile.
Soon Su Xiao and Maha returned to the old castle of the Zoldik family.
The other members of the Zoldick family were already going about their own business.
Maha, on his return, decided to hold a meeting first.
----
In the meeting room, Maha was sitting in the main seat, while Su Xiao was sitting not far from him, with his feet propped up on the table, quietly dozing.
The battle with Maha had taken some of his energy.
Zeno Zoldick and the others soon began to arrive. Seeing Su Xiao sleeping and his posture, everyone was startled.
In their opinion, Maha Zoldik was an old-fashioned person, but he actually allowed someone so young to behave like this...
— Byakuya, everyone's gathered.
— Su Xiao took a deep breath and took his feet off the table.
— I have something important to tell you this time, Silva, Illumi, you two will have to bring Killua.
— Silva said and hesitated, as he had promised Killua not to meddle in his affairs.
— This issue is related to the survival of our family. You two don't have a say. Bring him back within two days.
— Well.
Silva and Illumi could only agree with Maha's words. There were things in the world that they couldn't give up. Yes, Silva didn't want Killua back because he had promised him in the past that he wouldn't interfere in his affairs, but right now, he had no choice.
Zeno Zoldick immediately realized that something was wrong, and his brain began to work at great speed..
— It happened?
Zeno felt that Maha was sucking the life out of everyone close to him, but he didn't say anything against it, because it wasn't Maha who was doing it.
This old man was a victim himself.
— No, but I'm going to Mount Kukuru soon.
Zeno Zoldick clenched his fists.
He also wanted to remove the curse from his family.
— You're not going, " Maha said in advance. — I'll go there with Byakuya. The two of us are strong enough. You don't want to drag us down, do you?" Maha asked Zeno as if he wanted to teach his grandson. "I would have liked Isaac to come with me, but he refused," Maha muttered and sighed.
He had asked Isaac out on this case many times before, but he had turned him down every time.
— By the way, I'm going to go to the mountain with them, " Su Xiao suddenly said and pointed at Amu and Bubtni behind him.
They were sitting on the couch eating ice cream.
— Will there be any problems? Maha asked.
He didn't know how strong Bubtni and Amu were.
— If they die there, then we will definitely not be able to leave, " Su Xiao replied, and because of this answer, Maha thought about it.
In the end, all they had to do was wait for Killua to return. Given the strength of Silva and Illumi, this matter shouldn't take long.
When Maha ordered Killua back, Su Xiao wondered if they would come with another guy.
The two young boys were, after all, practically inseparable at this point in time.
Fortunately, the two main characters of this world weren't" righteous " characters. Although one of them was short-tempered, he knew that he needed to assess the situation sensibly first. When faced with an invincible enemy, he would not fight to the last, but would turn around and run away, after which he would attack it together with his friends.
He was a small but dangerous killer.
