Chapter 210: Chapter 210
Chapter 210
"But that was just what I was told."
It was only after the incident had occurred that Ron arrived at Meteor Street.
But this time, things were different.
This time, Ron had witnessed part of the process himself.
Thus, the experience felt more real.
"If we hadn't arrived in that city on time, the outcome might have been the same."
In this world, the death of a few doesn't mean much.
But the simultaneous death of so many still left Ron feeling reflective.
"Most of the Nen users from Taris in those two places were subdued, either killed or imprisoned by the Hunter Association, but a few escaped."
"The bounties for them have already been issued."
"Moreover, we've received some news. The Nen users from Taris are not just in these three locations; something has changed internally within Taris."
"As a result, the Hunter Association and the Kingdom of Fiora have jointly formed a punitive force."
"They're headed to Taris to subdue these individuals."
"Wendy, will you continue with me, or will you go back to Fiora first?"
Wendy hesitated for a moment.
"I want to continue with you, Uncle Dominica."
After witnessing Ron's true strength, Wendy decided to undergo rigorous training. But before starting her training, she wanted to engage in real combat—not a duel, but a battle that could determine life or death.
Dominica nodded.
"Ron, how about you?"
"I'm also going to Taris."
"Good," Dominica said.
"Since we're all heading to Taris, let's set out. We'll take an airship and meet up with them."
The next day, the three of them were aboard an airship.
Two days later, they arrived at their destination.
Not in Taris, but in a neighboring country called Aux.
Ron and his companions entered a small town.
The town's back mountain marked the border between Aux and Taris. Crossing over, one could enter Taris.
A phone call came to Dominica's mobile.
Dominica answered, his brow furrowing.
After hanging up, he said, "Wendy, Ron, the Nen users who went ahead to Taris ran into some trouble. I need to go assist them. You two stay here. The Hunter Association's team hasn't arrived yet."
"Wait for them here and move with them."
With that, Dominica vanished in a flash into the back mountains.
One could only imagine the urgency of the situation inside.
The town was small, mostly made up of wooden buildings.
Dominica had rented an entire wooden house.
But now, it was just Ron and Wendy.
The wooden house had two floors; downstairs was the living room, kitchen, and dining room, and upstairs were four bedrooms.
The door opened right onto the street.
"Ron, among your peers in the Zoldyck family, are you the strongest?"
"My peers?"
Ron shook his head. "I don't know. Inside the Zoldyck estate, those I know are either much older or younger than me."
"Know?"
Wendy paused at the word.
"Ron, I heard that the location of the Zoldyck estate isn't hidden, right?"
"That's right."
"Can anyone go there?"
"Anyone can," Ron nodded. "The only condition is they must be able to push open the Trial Gate. No shortcuts are allowed, or they'll face Mike's retaliation."
"The Trial Gate? What is that?"
"It's a gate that only those with significant strength can push open. It starts at four tons, then eight tons, sixteen, thirty-two, sixty-four, one hundred twenty-eight, all the way up to two hundred fifty-six tons."
Ron paused.
"With your strength, Wendy, pushing it open shouldn't be a problem."
Wendy was a C-class Nen user.
Although she hadn't performed as well as Ron in their previous mission, she was definitely not weak among C-class Nen users.
She had caught the attention of the Fiora Royal Family.
With such training, Wendy couldn't possibly be weak.
Even Leorio, who had only passed the Hunter Exam and not yet become a Nen user, could push it open, so Wendy certainly could as well.
Wendy's eyes lit up.
"That sounds really interesting."
Ron hesitated for a moment.
"If you're interested, Wendy, after we've dealt with the Taris nation's affairs, I could invite you to visit the Zoldyck estate."
"Really? Would that be convenient?"
"It would be, though there might be some areas we can't go to."
The location of the Zoldyck estate was already public knowledge.
Moreover, in the original story, Gon and Leorio visited as guests.
Under these circumstances, there should be no problem with Ron bringing someone along.
Additionally, Ron mentioned this for his future plans involving his Nen beasts.
By absorbing the characteristics of the Taris nation, he planned to create his fifth Nen beast.
And for his sixth Nen beast, Ron was eyeing the Fiora Royal Family.
Ron had noticed Dominica and Wendy's performances.
"Eat it, and the power surges forth!"
This technique is recognized by the Fiora Royal Family, proving its effectiveness.
Their sustained combat ability is strong.
This could be seen from Dominica's performance in the Colosseum.
He first defeated the monster girl and then dealt with the balloon-headed enemies, facing Cook, Charlotte, and Crawford consecutively with very limited rest in between.
His opponents were by no means weak.
Others might find it difficult to win under similar circumstances.
Ron's advantage lies in his sustained combat ability.
His aura capacity is much higher than that of other Nen users at his level.
Plus, the Rotten Life Blade greatly drains the opponent's aura.
Adding a Nen beast from the Fiora Royal Family style would further enhance Ron's ability to fight continuously.
Ron invited Wendy to visit the Zoldyck estate.
By logic and emotion, Wendy would also invite Ron to visit Fiora.
With Wendy as his guide, it would be much easier for Ron to absorb the characteristics of the Fiora Royal Family.
Even if Wendy hadn't extended an invitation yet.
Ron could bring it up himself.
At that time, it would be difficult for Wendy to refuse.
"Alright, that's settled then."
Wendy said, "I'll first go with you to the Zoldyck estate to take a look, and afterwards, I'll take you to Fiora. There are many interesting and beautiful places in Fiora, and delicious food too."
"Okay."
Ron nodded.
The two settled into a cabin to live.
Their life was very regular.
Apart from daily routines, they focused on training.
The two waited for the arrival of the members of the Hunter Association.
However, Ron received some information through Chii.
Information that only Ron was privy to.
Among the Nen users of the Taris nation, there was also another small group.
Shusuke Ito and several other Taris nation Nen users who had escaped were all part of this small group.
Ron deduced this based on the list of escapees from the Taris nation, the contacts and messages in Shusuke Ito's phone.
"This means, if the progress of the Observer's Intent hasn't reached 100% after I've finished with the Taris nation, I can go after these people."
Ten days later, members of the Hunter Association finally arrived.
*Ding-a-ling!*
Ron's phone rang.
"Is this Ron?"
"Yes."
"We've arrived."
"Great, we're at 64, Second Street."
Shortly after, a figure appeared at the garden gate.
A woman.
