Chapter 228: Chapter 228
"Don't know where they came from."
"But they must have some special purpose."
"They also took away some children from the slums."
"Could they be a child trafficking gang?"
"No way, do slum children even need to be trafficked? Isn't it enough to offer some food and beckon them over?"
"That's true."
...
People speculated in various ways, but few guessed correctly.
A new pancake shop opened.
Same ingredients, same tools, but the taste was different.

Two days later, the airship landed.
Ron and Wendy stepped off the airship.
"Shall we rest here for a day and then take an airship to the city near Kukuroo Mountain? What do you think, Wendy?"
"You are more familiar with this so I will just follow you."
Wendy nodded.
As she looked outside, Wendy felt a bit excited.
"Ron, can you take me to those entertainment places you mentioned before?"
"The arcade?"
"Uh-huh."
A normal kid's childhood can include many things: amusement parks, zoos, arcades, toys, cartoons...
But for Wendy:
Amusement parks? Could they be more thrilling than Nen training?
Even roller coasters or giant swings... to a Nen user, they're nothing—not thrilling at all.
Zoos? Could they be more fascinating than magical beasts?
Moreover, during missions, when entering forests, Wendy had close encounters with many wild creatures; animals in cages didn't interest her at all.
Toys were a bit childish.
Cartoons could be watched anytime.
Only the arcade interested Wendy, and she hadn't had the chance to go before.
"Alright."
Ron nodded.
"Let's go now."
Ron waved to the roadside, and a taxi stopped.

Hunter Association.
In an Office.
Gel walked in and looked at the figure behind the desk.
Dressed in a white training suit.
With faint blue stripes.
Ears are unusually large.
Hair, beard, eyebrows—all snow-white.
An old man, yet he looked full of energy.
When Gel walked in, he stopped his work, looked at her, and smiled.
"Good work."
"You're too kind, Chairman; it's what I should do."
Gel bowed slightly.
Then handed a document onto the desk.
"Chairman, this is the mission log."
"Good."
Netero picked it up and quickly skimmed through it.
"As expected, Gel, you're as reliable as ever. Not bad, not bad."
"By the way."
Netero put down the document.
"I heard two young ones accompanied you this time?"
"Yes."
Gel recalled.
"Two remarkable kids: one is a genius from the Fiore royal family, and the other is a genius from the Zoldyck family."
"Hmmm, for you to call them geniuses, they must be truly exceptional."
Gel was silent for a moment.
"Chairman, to be honest, I was shocked when I saw their performance."
"They are just over ten years old, but their abilities far surpass their peers."
"Their Nen levels, aura capacity, mastery of Nen techniques, combat experience, mentality, and tactical wisdom are all outstanding."
"They don't seem like someone who has only learned Nen for a few years."
"Rather, they resemble seasoned Nen users who have been practicing for a very long time."
"Moreover, their abilities are quite unique."
"I admit, in comparison, my disciples are vastly inferior."
"No, not just my disciples."
"Even I can't compare to them at that age, or when when I started learning Nen"
"In the future, they will surely surpass me."
"Among all the people I've seen in the Hunter Association, only that person can compare with their talent."
"Especially Ron."
Netero mentioned the name Gel wanted to say.
"Ging?"
"Exactly."
"Reaching Ging's level isn't easy, but these two youngsters are indeed very special."
Netero said, "Wendy is the Dragon Child of this generation in the Fiore royal family."
"And Ron is someone my old friend values and is personally nurturing."
Gel's pupils narrowed sharply.
"Dragon Child?"
Gel knew something about the Fiore royal family.
The Nen users of the Fiore royal family have their own unique style, centered around reverence.
Their different Nen users revered different things.
Some revere the earth, some revere metal, some revere fire, some revere plants...
Years of reverence allow them to gain a certain ability.
They can replenish their aura by consuming the objects they revere.
This greatly enhances their ability to sustain combat.
As individual Nen users, it's hard to say.
But in terms of their school, the Fiore royal family's Nen users are the best at prolonged battles.
Unmatched by any other school.
And within the Fiore royal family, there are special individuals.
These people are born with exceptional talent and are selected by the royal family for focused training.
At the same time, the Fiore royal family bestows special titles upon them.
In a generation, there are usually three.
The three most talented among their peers are chosen.
Dragon Child, Star Child, First Child.
The Fiore royal family's Nen style is further divided into three smaller schools, hence these titles.
Those who receive these titles will be heavily invested in by the Fiore royal family.
It can be said that as long as nothing unexpected happens, they are bound to grow into extremely powerful Nen users.
And become one of the future rulers of the Fiore royal family.
"No wonder."
Gel showed a look of realization.
The Fiore royal family is the royal family of the Kingdom of Fiore, one of the V5.
They are a force and organization with comprehensive strength surpassing even the Hunter Association, even if there aren't Nen users in the Fiore royal family stronger than Netero.
But strength isn't just about one person being stronger than others.
Among Nen users, Netero is indeed very strong.
But if one person in the Fiore royal family isn't a match for Netero, what about two?
If two aren't enough, then three?
Four?
Ten?
If that still doesn't work, the Fiore royal family can also leverage technology.
Why can the V5 become the V5?
First, within the V5, they all have extremely powerful Nen user groups.
Second is the "Rose."
But the Rose is just one type.
Besides the Rose, there are other similar series of weapons.
There aren't many countries that possess such weapons.
Even fewer can manufacture them.
It's precisely because the V5 have both powerful Nen user groups and the ability to manufacture such weapons that they stand above other countries.
That Wendy could be chosen as the Dragon Child within such a force is enough to prove her talent.
