Within the garden stood two palace-style buildings, one large and one small, separated by a hundred meters.
Luo retracted his En, used Sky Walk, and stepped on the air, crossing the hundred-meter distance to land on the roof of the smaller palace-style building. He then expanded his En again, scanning the movements inside the house.
The En formed a circle with a diameter of over two hundred meters, penetrating every part of the building.
Compared to a domain, the Nen wave emitted by En was weaker, and it consumed far less Nen.
At this moment, in a room inside the house, two men in plain clothes stood facing each other.
Luo's En slowly brushed past them, penetrating their bodies and continuing to expand further.
The two men instinctively reacted as if stimulated, their bodies trembling slightly.
"Prepare to fight."
One of the men’s faces changed drastically, and Nen surged from his body. The other man also tensed up to the extreme.
On the roof, Luo's gaze shifted to the room where the two men were, his eyes seeming to penetrate the walls.
"On the second floor, only two people."
Through the tactile sensation brought by En, he could sense that two people had reacted to his En.
Whether these two were the expected enemies or not, he would subdue them first.
Luo's figure flashed, disappearing from the roof and entering the house.
After confirming the target's location, he did not retract his En and did not take the normal route. Instead, he used his ability to open holes in the walls of each room he passed.
"Guarding the room? Is it an ambush type?"
As Luo moved quickly, he sensed the movements of the two human-shaped objects, who remained stationed in place.
Since they didn't move after being discovered, the target was likely using ambush-type Nen.
As he approached the target location, Luo retracted his En, quietly arriving directly above the second-floor room, near the window, and carved out a circle.
Below was the room with the two men, one near the door and the other by the window.
Just then, there was a sudden sound from the ceiling, and a circular section of the floor nearly two meters in diameter fell, crashing down towards the man by the window.
"Careful!"
The man near the door raised his hands suddenly, aiming at the hole in the ceiling, while the man by the window dived to the side, avoiding the falling floor.
Bang!
With a loud crash, the heavy floor shattered, and thick dust filled the air.
Luo did not descend through the hole but arrived above the door, lightly stomping through the floor to drop into the second-floor room.
The man guarding the door was extremely vigilant and quickly shifted direction, but Luo was faster. He maneuvered behind him and lightly pressed his palm on his back.
Soft Force!
The man's chest clothes burst open, and he spewed a large amount of blood, instantly falling unconscious.
After knocking out the first target, Luo dashed towards the second target, who was just getting up. Before the man could react, Luo punched him, causing him to spit blood and fall unconscious.
When unaware of the enemy's Nen abilities, a surprise attack was the best method. Even if the threat was minimal, one couldn’t allow it to grow.
Therefore, treating every enemy with caution and seriousness was an essential attitude for a seasoned hunter.
Luo picked up the two unconscious men and quickly returned to the room where Clover and Salin were.
Clover was slightly shocked to see Luo return so quickly with two men unconscious and bleeding.
Luo casually threw the two men to the ground and dug out their slowly beating hearts in front of Clover.
"You..."
Cold sweat broke out on Clover's face.
"These two were planning to 'escort' me away?" Luo asked with a faint smile.
Clover nodded with difficulty.
Seeing this, Luo sighed, "I have been thoroughly underestimated."
Although Luo had sealed the hearts in a book using Nen, Clover could still clearly feel his own heartbeat accelerating.
"Salin, leave this matter to me and return to the company," Luo said to Salin. When others were present, he called her by her name; when alone, he called her senior sister.
"Will it be troublesome?" Salin asked.
"Honestly, I'm not sure."
Luo shrugged. He had some guesses about the high-ranking official, but he knew nothing concrete. Hence, he captured these two men to extract information.
"In that case..." Salin glanced at the pale-faced Clover and said, "Should we find another partner?"
"Is there anyone more suitable than Mr. Clover?" Luo smiled at Clover.
Salin thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I have no leads, but I can check when I return."
"That's fine. You go back first," Luo said.
Salin was silent for a moment, then urged, "Be careful."
"Yes." Luo nodded.
Understanding the situation, Salin left decisively. Luo had previously helped her remove zombie powder, saving her from a big trouble.
At this moment, a voice came through the micro communicator in Clover's ear.
Luo's ears twitched slightly, and he dug his little finger into his ear.
Seeing Luo's action, Clover trembled slightly and pressed a button on his clothes, saying, "No need to come."
After speaking, Clover released the button and said, "Although you discovered the zombie powder, Salin did drink it. Shouldn't..."
Luo interrupted him directly, saying, "You really underestimate hunters."
Clover was speechless for a moment. He had dealt with many hunters and often entrusted them with difficult tasks, so he never underestimated them. However, Luo was far superior to any hunter he had ever encountered.
That superiority was not just in strength.
Luo shifted his attention to the two men lying on the ground, holding a heart in each hand. He suddenly squeezed hard and then released, as if using a defibrillator.
With two muffled sounds, the unconscious men opened their eyes and quickly sat up.
Seeing this, Luo slightly increased the pressure on the hearts in his hands. The two men gritted their teeth without screaming but had bulging veins on their faces.
They looked at the hearts in Luo's hands and seemed to understand something, exchanging a rapid glance, as if making a decision.
Noticing this detail, Luo frowned slightly but then saw blood silently seeping from the men's eyes, noses, and mouths as they slumped to the ground.
"You killed them?" Clover asked.
Luo ignored Clover, looking at the still-beating hearts in his hands, their force and speed clearly diminishing.
They were decisive enough...
Well, there were many methods. If this one didn't work, he would find another.
With this thought, Luo threw the hearts onto the bodies of the two men, then looked at Clover with an innocent smile.
"Mr. Clover, I think we still have a chance to cooperate. It depends on how you seize it."
