Chapter 7: Mission X Battle

Let's go back to five minutes ago.

At this moment, Pawa was sitting at his desk in his study, while a man about 1.7 meters tall sat on the sofa opposite him.

He had long, emerald green hair, with a slanted fringe covering his right eye, leaving only his left eye visible.

If one were to look past his covering fringe, they would see a scar on his right eye, starting from his forehead and cutting downwards, instantly making his otherwise decent face look ferocious.

This person wore a white vest and black sweatpants, but what was striking was that he carried three daggers on the outer side of each thigh.

"Mr. Jack, it is truly an honor for Pawa to have you travel such a long distance to my Gandy Family.

Please rest assured, Hall Family, the factory can definitely start on schedule as planned, and I will take Mr. Jack to visit the factory tomorrow morning.

To fulfill my duties as a host, I have prepared a banquet tonight to welcome Mr. Jack, and there will be a series of entertainment activities afterward. Please grace us with your presence."

Pawa said, revealing a smile that everyone understood.

Just then, both men suddenly heard gunshots outside, followed by a knock on the door.

"Boss, someone is attacking the villa!"

"What are you panicking about? I'm entertaining a distinguished guest. How many people are there, and do you know which faction they belong to?"

"Boss, it's just one child, and he's already been brought under control by Wayne and the brothers. Boss, do you want to go see for yourself?" his subordinate quickly added.

"You go down first. Let Wayne finish the interrogation and then tell me the result. I still need to entertain my distinguished guest."

After Pawa finished speaking to his subordinate, he turned to Jack and said, "I apologize, Mr. Jack, that such a thing happened just as you arrived. I will hand over the culprit to you to deal with personally later."

"It's harmless, in fact, this little interlude adds a bit of surprise to this boring mission. I'm really curious about the identity of this attacker now.

I think I should go out personally to see what kind of child dares to attack the leader of the Gandy Family alone.

Mr. Pawa, are you interested in coming along?"

"Of course. As the host, since such a thing has happened, I must see this culprit.

And with Mr. Jack here, I don't think a child can pose any threat to me."

With that, the two walked out the main entrance of the villa together.

Meanwhile, Diluyi, after dealing with the last living person, was stepping towards the main entrance of the villa, just as he saw Jack and Pawa opening the door and coming out.

The first thing the two faced upon exiting the door was an overwhelming stench of blood, and then everywhere their eyes could see were dismembered limbs of subordinates and various unidentifiable body parts scattered on the ground.

Fortunately, as a gang leader, the old man had seen his fair share of storms, so he didn't vomit his breakfast on the spot, while Jack next to him was in much better condition.

Then, the two turned their gaze to this child, who they weren't sure was the real culprit.

The strange attire, not even revealing his eyes, worn by a child who looked no older than ten, was inexplicably eerie.

Even more bizarre was that such a young child, in the current environment, showed no emotional fluctuations, not even a hint of his Nen.

If Jack hadn't seen someone standing there with his own eyes, he would have truly thought the other party had already merged with the surroundings.

"It seems this is no longer a small surprise; it might turn into a fright.

Pawa, you're really lucky that I'm here today, otherwise, I'm afraid there would be no Gandy Family anymore.

But what price are you willing to pay to save your entire family's lives?"

As soon as Jack finished speaking, he heard a hurried reply from beside him: "I'll give half of my net worth, plus half of my annual profits from now on, please help me through this, Mr. Jack."

"Good, the deal is done!"

"Little brother, I see you have extraordinary bones and are ruthless.

I don't care who instructed you to kill, but I can give you a chance now: follow me from now on.

I am the Hall Family's top expert. With me, I can guarantee you future wealth and glory. What do you say? I advise you to think carefully before making a decision."

{This guy's Nen is fluctuating and scattered, and the flow of his Nen is not smooth. The amount of Nen he uses for En is sparse and uneven. He's probably self-taught, or even a lucky one who awakened his Nen after being attacked.

Currently, his ability seems to be mainly concentrated on those six daggers. After observing with my Sharingan just now, I can confirm that the daggers are physical objects.

If he were Enhancement-type, then weapons like swords, which offer advantages in range and power during direct combat compared to daggers, should be his first choice.

So, the main possibilities are Manipulation-type and Conjuration-type. However, considering his Nen situation and identity, Manipulation-type is more likely, though the possibility of a Specialist-type cannot be ruled out.

Therefore, I'll test him with a Mind Bullet in a moment to see if he'll close the distance for combat before making the next judgment.}

"Oh, little brother, are you mute? Why aren't you saying a word? Or are you too scared to speak?"

As soon as the words fell, Jack felt danger approaching. Relying on his past combat experience in the underworld, he decisively dodged the Mind Bullet fired by Diluyi.

However, he dodged it, but Diluyi didn't just aim at him alone. Pawa's head next to him had already been shattered.

Jack frowned at this scene, but quickly calmed down and said to Diluyi, "Since Pawa is dead, the deal is void.

And you have completed your mission. How about we stop here? A lose-lose situation is not good for either of us."

After all, in Jack's opinion, fighting Diluyi now was very unprofitable, with too many uncertain factors, but it was certain that this child was not to be trifled with.

Without any benefit, he didn't want to fight such a person to the death. It would be enough to explain the current situation to the leader back at the family, simply replacing the regional representative.

However, Diluyi had no intention of stopping. He mentally estimated their respective strengths, then directly continued his attack, this time using a Mind Bullet enhanced with In.

Jack, this time, chose to evade the moment Diluyi raised his hand. Seeing that negotiation was hopeless, he also attacked without hesitation.

He went all out from the start, all six daggers shooting towards Diluyi simultaneously, while Jack himself began to move rapidly, simultaneously manipulating the daggers to attack from different directions.

Diluyi immediately widened the distance, moving to a position he roughly estimated to be the maximum range where his Mind Bullet could effectively attack Jack.

The first reason he did this was fear that the opponent's daggers might carry other Nen abilities, so he tried to keep as much distance as possible to increase his margin for error.

The second reason was that he wanted to roughly calculate how the opponent's attack range compared to his Mind Bullet. If it exceeded his, he would need to change tactics and close in.

The distance between the two grew larger and larger, and as the distance increased, Jack's manipulation of the daggers became less proficient; he was already showing signs of being unable to keep up.

Seeing this, Jack directly abandoned the other four daggers, concentrating his Nen on the remaining two to increase their attack range.

However, reality was cruel. Even manipulating only two daggers, it was difficult to attack Diluyi, while the opponent's Mind Bullet remained powerful.

Jack knew the situation was unfavorable now and had to find a breakthrough to disengage from the fight.

Yes, he no longer held out hope of defeating his opponent; his only thought was to find a way to retreat unscathed.
