Chapter 414: Your Ambition Is Too Great
Pa!
Kikyo gently clapped his hands. Immediately, Gotoh and Amane began to bring the two probationary stewards to serve the dishes.
Whether it was common or not, as long as they beat up the enemy, there was basically no problem. After all, just the photos of these people here added up to nearly one hundred million Jenny.
Therefore, today's family gathering was also specially prepared, and exquisite dishes almost filled the entire long table.
Haru did not stand on ceremony. After Maha took the lead and started eating, he immediately began to eat bitterly.
None of the people present were stupid. Why did they have a family gathering all of a sudden? Or in the name of Kikyo?
Although Kikyo had given birth to so many children in Zoldyck Family, they were not as important as they had imagined.
Not to mention that a family had specially celebrated her birthday for her!
If even Maha and Zeno were here, what right did Kikyo have to make these two give her a birthday celebration?
It was more like turning around!
Therefore, it was obvious that this was an excuse.
She probably thought that he would come back with this excuse.
Haru ate heartily as he silently guessed.
It wouldn't be long before the old fellow laid his cards on the table with him.
Haru was right. After a period of silence where no one spoke, Maha was the first to put down his chopsticks.
This was like a signal, and Zeno directly broke the silence. "Haru, how long have you been in the profession?"
Haru held a roasted lamb leg in his hand and chewed it into pieces along with the bones in a few bites. He swallowed it into his stomach. Then, he picked up a napkin and casually wiped it on his mouth. Then, he lit a cigar for himself as if no one else was there. After spitting out a mouthful of white smoke, he said unhurriedly,
"It has been ten years, right? What, you regret it?"
"Stinking brat, I am your grandfather!"
"Come on, old man. In the end, it still depends on whether the fist is strong enough or not. Did you teach me?"
Haru leaned against the back of the chair and said in a cynical tone.
If Zeno had a way to deal with him, how could he be arrogant? Ten years ago, or even twenty years ago, he should have died in Meteor City.
Moreover, there was a very strange discipline in Zoldyck Family.
That was to allow different opinions and choices to appear within the family. Under the premise that they could not reach an agreement, everyone could rely on their own abilities to fight for their own interests and right to speak.
Of course, it was still forbidden to kill each other among the family members. This would never change, it was an iron rule!
Even if Haru violated this rule, no one would continue to tolerate him. What awaited him was the desperate pursuit of the other family members.
Therefore, Haru was able to make his own voice ten years ago, and he did not have to worry about anything else afterwards.
Towards Haru's attitude, Zeno was not angry. Or rather, he was pretending to be angry before. Using this to express his bottom line, he also told Haru not to go too far.
Looking at his big brother's arrogant appearance, Killua was very excited and unconsciously had some worship for his big brother.
"Then do you think it is your turn to decide this family?"
When this was said, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at each other with different expressions.
Unknowingly, Gotoh and the other housekeepers had disappeared without a trace.
Obviously, they were not qualified to participate in the next topic. The more they heard, the faster they died.
However, in this extremely tense atmosphere, Haru sneered, "Don't scare me, old man. If you really want to fight, maybe I will pay the price, but the one who will die must be you. However, there is no need for me to be in such a hurry. After all, I am the legitimate heir of Zoldyck Family. When Silva gets old, this family will be decided by me sooner or later."
Haru did not hide his ambition and his words were very impolite.
But if you want to gain a foothold in this family, the first thing you have to do is to establish prestige and make others afraid of you!
Otherwise, like Killua, you will only be at the bottom of the food chain in the family. Even if the per capita is Killua, it can't change the fact that Killua has no weight.
So as long as you have the matching strength, you can just say what you want directly, and no one will feel wrong.
Zeno and Silva also trained Haru as the heir, if this guy is not so rebellious!
They recognized Haru's strength, but they didn't want the future owner to be too willful and emotional.
Therefore, Zeno and Silva had been hesitating, and finally chose to secretly cultivate Killua, who also had a strong talent.
If in five years, Haru still has his current character, and there is no change, then it is very likely that the heir of the Zoldyck Family will become Killua to compete with Haru!
I believe that at that time, with Killua's talent, he should be able to grow to compete with his big brother.
This was what Zeno and Silva were thinking, but other than Maha, they did not tell anyone else, not even Kikyo who was celebrating his birthday today.
As for the Killua, who still felt that his brother's performance just now was really too handsome, he did not know that he had been arranged clearly!
"Just say it directly. What is the reason for finding such an excuse to call me back?"
Such a sumptuous table of food, but he could not eat to his heart's content, which was really unpleasant.
"I think you should be very clear about this. We are assassins, not ambitious people. So no matter what you have done in the capital all these years and what you want to do in the plan, stop. You have crossed the line." Zeno suddenly said in a very serious tone.
Haru frowned, and the smoke blurred his eyes.
"Whether it is an assassin or a ambitious family, this should not be under the control of the family, right?"
"Before it involves the core interests of the family, we have always turned a blind eye to what you have done, pretending not to know. But no matter how hidden you are, all the changes in the country are under the watchful eyes of people. Moreover, the king of the country is not a fool. The other party has long noticed that something is wrong, but it has wasted a lot of time in the process, which may have made you feel lucky."
"But now I really want to tell you. Not long ago, Netero came to visit my home. The country paid a great price to invite the Hunter Association to investigate. You should know the final result."
"No one wants to see a killer subvert the regime of a big country, and a country ruled by killers. Don't you think it is a little ridiculous?"
"Your actions have indeed affected the foundation and position of the family, so even if Netero did not specially come here, I was ready to call you back."
