Chapter 225

"Pain Split!"
Ron quickly thought it through.
"If I give only a small amount of aura to Lampent, after it successfully uses Pain Split on the target, it would effectively halve the opponent's aura."
"A competent Nen user can typically maintain 'Ken' for about half an hour."
"Once Pain Split takes effect, the duration for which the opponent can use 'Ken' will drop to fifteen minutes."
"Moreover, Lampent would have gained a significant amount of aura."
"This ability is very strong!"
"Extremely powerful!"
Ron thought of a character from the original storyline.
Morl's disciple, Knuckle.
Knuckle's Nen ability is called "Bankruptcy", which also affects aura, but differently, Knuckle lends aura to the opponent.
Whereas Lampent forcibly takes the opponent's aura.
"The conditions for use are very strict."
"However, the results when used are definitely excellent."
"This is the essence of Nen."
"The stronger the Nen ability, the stricter the conditions for its use."
Ron's essence as an observer.
And Chrollo's skill hunter.
Are all like this.
"It's time to go back."
Ron gathered the Nen needles, dispersed the poison he had previously set, and then headed towards the direction of the wooden cabin.
"Big brother."
Ron pushed open the wooden door.
Lilith and the others quickly looked up.
Haji and Hassan were hesitant to approach; they weren't very familiar with Ron.
Dominica and Wendy hadn't returned yet.
Based on previous experience, it would take another hour or two to finish cleaning up.
Ron checked the time.
"What would you like to eat? I'll take you out."
"Go out?"
Lilith and the others were momentarily stunned.
"Can we go out?"
Ron nodded, "Today, it's alright."
Today was the last day.
Even if people noticed something unusual, it wouldn't matter.
After today, Ron and the others would leave.
And Lilith and the others would be taken away.
As previously agreed.
Ralph was heading to the Kingdom of Fiore.
Naturally, Lilith and the others would also be taken to the Kingdom of Fiore, where they could live a much better life.
"I want pizza!"
"I want bread!"
"I want meat!"
Ron chuckled.
"Sure, come with me."
Ron led the three out of the yard. Some glanced their way, but not many paid special attention.
Gradually, Lilith and the others became anxious.
Because Ron was taking them away from the slums and toward the formal city districts.
"Big brother, where are we going?"
Lilith, a bit scared, subconsciously tightened her grip on Ron's hand.
"To eat something delicious."
Ron gently rubbed Lilith's head.
"Don't worry, it will be okay."
-------------------
Ron picked a nice restaurant.
Lilith and the others were timid and were somewhat afraid to enter what looked like to them was a high-end restaurant.
But the fact of the matter was, after changing their attire, even if they were wearing old clothes, the waitstaff wouldn't think that Lilith and the others had come from the slums.
Ron led Lilith and the others to a table by the window.
Then he picked up the menu and began ordering.
Lilith and the others were a bit panicked, but as the dishes were served, they gradually became excited.
"It smells so good!"
"It looks so tasty!"
"Really delicious!"
"Big brother, thank you."
Lilith hesitated for a moment.
"Big brother, these must be expensive, right?"
Hearing this, Haji and Hassan also paused.
Ron was paying since he brought them here, but if the price was too high and it burdened Ron, that was not what they wanted to see.
Ron shook his head.
"Eat up, we'll order some more later to take away for Ralph to try."
"Then big brother, you eat too."
"Haha alright."
Half an hour later, Lilith and the others were sitting in their chairs, bellies full.
For a moment, they were somewhat dazed.
"So full."
"So satisfied!"
"Really tasty."
"I've never eaten anything this delicious!"
The four of them walked out of the restaurant.
Ron held Lilith's hand.
Haji and Hassan, on the other hand, were carrying the packed food, heading towards the slums. This time, they attracted more glances, but Ron didn't mind because soon, they would be leaving this place.
When they would come back, if ever, was unknown.
Just as they got back to the yard, footsteps sounded outside.
Ron turned around.
It was Dominica and the others.
"Senior Dominica, Wendy, Ralph, I've packed some food to bring back. Today is the last day, so I took them out for a bit to eat."
Dominica nodded.
"That's fine, I'm a bit hungry myself."
Wendy looked at Ron, a hint of concern in her eyes.
"Ron, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Ron shook his head and said, "Just a bit emotional, seeing someone I knew end up like that."
"This is what Nen user from Talis brings."
Dominica, holding a slice of pizza, came to Ron's side.
"The reason so many people hated the Nen users from Talis back then, leading our Kingdom of Fiore and the Hunter Association to join forces to hunt them down and destroy them."
"Was because of their immense destructiveness."
"And they didn't pursue destruction with a purpose."
"They were purely in pursuit of destruction."
"Indiscriminate killing."
"Like a plague."
"This time it was considered mild, Ron, you discovered it relatively early, only two or three cities suffered at their hands."
"Back then, just in my Kingdom of Fiore alone, tens of millions died because of them."
"Including Nen users."
"Even Nen users from our Fiore royal family."
"A very good friend of mine also died because of them."
Ron looked at Dominica.
"Senior Dominica, I'm really okay, how does the pizza taste?"
"Not bad, it can't compare to the chefs of our Fiore royal household, but for a place like this, it's passable."
For Dominica, it was passable.
But for Ralph and the others, it was the ultimate delicacy.
Lilith and the others gathered around Ralph, staying close to him.
"Let's eat together."
"No need, brother, we've already eaten."
"Yes, we're already very full."
"Brother, you eat."
Ralph saw their bulging little bellies and finally nodded, beginning to eat heartily.
