Amane was trying her best to adjust the direction and speed of the helicopter, but she always felt that the fuselage was being pulled by an inexplicable force.
No matter how she operated it, it was always rushing towards the figure of the target.
"Oh no, we're going to crash!" Amane said anxiously.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the figure, Tsubone immediately chose to get up and leave, while Amane frowned and did her best, not giving up on stabilizing the fuselage.
Watching the figure ahead not dodging or avoiding, she couldn't help but wonder...
That guy, is he trying to tank the hit with his body?
Yuu raised his hand unhurriedly, aimed at the rapidly approaching helicopter, and then silently increased the number of 'Blue' around it, relying on multi-directional attraction to slow it down.
Inside the cockpit, Amane could clearly see the speed of the helicopter dropping sharply, but watching the white-haired figure ahead getting closer... knowing a collision was inevitable, she prepared herself mentally in advance.
The next moment.
Amane didn't hear the expected impact sound.
Or rather, no impact happened at all... Instead, it unbelievably hovered just a few meters in front of the white-haired man.
Just when Amane was wondering who the other party was...
Yuu teleported and disappeared from the spot, then appeared at the cabin door, casually tearing it off with 'Blue', and saw Tsubone inside, as well as the familiar Illumi and Killua.
"Yo, long time no see, Killua."
Yuu greeted casually, a rare smile on his lips, then stepped forward from mid-air and walked into the cabin.
Hearing this, Killua just smiled awkwardly, not expecting to reunite with Yuu in such a situation, and didn't know how to reply for a moment.
Just silently glanced at his big brother Illumi's face, worried that the two would fight again here.
Tsubone quickly protected the two young masters, especially paying attention to Killua's safety.
Although she didn't know who the other party was or why he knew Young Master Killua, judging from the actions she saw earlier, she didn't think he was an ally.
More importantly, the opponent's ability was incomprehensible, and his strength was obviously far above hers. Once she relaxed, they might be wiped out.
"Who exactly are you? And what is your purpose?" Tsubone asked vigilantly.
"I'm Yuu, just entrusted by someone to find someone here, no need to be nervous."
Yuu could sense that Neon's aura was fine, and his tone was somewhat relaxed. He looked towards where Neon was:
"That guy counts as my client for now, seems I'm not too late... she's still alive."
"You are Yuu?"
Illumi stood up and came to Yuu, asking calmly.
"That's right."
Yuu could see a hint of hostility in the other party's empty eyes.
Perhaps because of the old score, or because he greeted Killua, or maybe because he disrupted the other party's mission...
Of course, the most likely reason was a combination of many factors.
Anyway, whatever the reason, after thinking it over, Illumi and Tsubone finally chose not to fight him.
A very wise move.
At this time, after confirming that the fuselage had completely stopped in mid-air, Amane also walked out of the cockpit.
Seeing that the person was the figure who intercepted them earlier, like Tsubone, her face was full of vigilance, ready to strike at any time.
Yuu ignored what they thought and chose to go to the rear of the cabin first to check Neon's physical and psychological condition.
He walked to the box containing Neon.
Squatted down, then raised his hand to open the half-closed lid.
He saw Neon lying inside, seeming to have just taken a quiet nap, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, half-asleep with her eyes closed.
Because light entered, she sensed the strangeness and got up in a trance. But when she vaguely saw a figure squatting beside her, Neon subconsciously covered her head and whispered:
"Don't kill me..."
"It's me." Yuu's tone was somewhat helpless.
Hearing this, Neon looked up and identified carefully for a few seconds. When she confirmed that the other party was not the previous killer, but Yuu... her eyes couldn't help but get wet. The next moment she got up and pounced on him excitedly.
But then her head was firmly pressed by a palm. No matter what, she couldn't get close.
"I just finished my business, and Valtz and the others asked me to find you... Since you're fine, hurry up and get out of the box. I promised them to send you back."
Yuu explained calmly. After speaking, he withdrew his palm, then got up and asked casually:
"Need a hand?"
"No need..." Neon shook her head. Thinking of her situation, she appeared quieter than ever before.
Then, Tsubone and the others saw Yuu taking Neon to the wide-open hatch.
Throughout the process, Yuu's movements were full of flaws.
For example, hands in pockets, back to the enemy, looking down at the phone, making calls, etc...
In Amane's view, almost every moment, there were hundreds of flaws in the opponent's movements that could be exploited for a sneak attack with assassination techniques.
However, the fact that the fuselage was suspended in mid-air was likely due to the opponent's ability. Seeing such an enemy full of flaws but unable to strike... she felt somewhat regretful.
In fact, the former Illumi had the same thought as her, also thinking that such an enemy could be defeated with one blow, but regrettably... the price paid in the end was unexpectedly painful.
Leaving a deep impression on Illumi to this day.
As Killua's life mentor, Illumi also wouldn't attack an enemy he wasn't sure about. So even if the commission failed, he chose to let Yuu take Neon away.
Before leaving, Yuu kindly helped everyone land the helicopter steadily on the flat ground below.
Until confirming the other party left, Amane asked Tsubone: "Who exactly was that guy just now?"
"He seems to be an acquaintance of Young Master Killua, and it seems Young Master Illumi knows him too. Anyway... not much hostility towards us." Tsubone explained casually.
Regarding this, Illumi didn't explain much either, just starting to worry about his commission status.
After all, he was the most outstanding assassin of the younger generation of the Zoldyck family. So far, the completion rate of commissions was as high as 100%.
Starting from recent years, the number of completed commissions even exceeded that of his father and grandfather, and the accumulated clients were also rising year by year.
So if he failed this time... it would have a great impact on his reputation as an assassin and his future work.
For example, commission fees and the like.
"Hmm... really troubling."
Illumi murmured to himself, thinking calmly, not looking troubled at all.
Now that the target had been hijacked, it was unrealistic to take her back.
However... Illumi quickly thought of a solution, and turned his gaze to Killua and Tsubone aside.
According to one of the Zoldyck family rules—
As long as the client dies during the mission, the commission is terminated, and no remuneration is collected.
This commission only designated Illumi alone.
And Killua just came along to accumulate assassination experience in advance, so strictly speaking, Killua was an unrelated person to this commission.
Thinking of this, Illumi suddenly spoke:
"Killua, do me a favor."
"Hmm, what favor?" Killua wondered.
"Help me kill someone."
