Chapter 17: Are You Interested In Seeing The Wider World?
After waking up, Kastro also realized that his body had gained a strange new power.
This power is much stronger than any martial arts he has learned before!!
Even though his body was covered in wounds, he still felt this surge of amazing energy.
It seems to be the purest power coming from life itself.
Constantly healing his body and making him recover from his injuries.
"Is it because of this power that Hisoka is so powerful and can survive in Heavens' Arena?"
Kastro looked at his hands and muttered.
He seemed to have vaguely grasped the tip of the iceberg of this world.
"The word survive may not be the right word. This place is just Hisoka's playground."
Suddenly, a faint voice came from the side.
"Who?!"
Kastro's body tensed up instantly; he had no idea that someone was there.
"Who are you?!"
When he looked in the direction where the sound came from, he saw a man in a black suit standing there.
Being in a dark corner and wearing all black, he looked quite creepy in the current environment.
However, Kastro did not care about this. Instead, he looked at the person who came with a burning gaze.
In this person, he felt a surging force similar to that in his own body.
"My name is Lan, and I currently work for a mafia family."
He pulled up a chair and sat down in a very familiar manner.
"Member of a mafia?"
Kastro was no stranger to the mafias active in the six continents, especially the legendary Ten Mafia Dons among them.
"It turns out that even among the mafias, there are such masters."
Only then did he realize that the world was not as simple and easy as he had imagined.
"You have great talent and strength. It's amazing that you can fight Hisoka to this extent."
Lan folded his hands: "Are you interested in seeing the wider world?"
"Wider world..."
Kastro raised an eyebrow: "This kind of power you possess?"
"Well, you can call it Nen."
Lan nodded slightly: "Anyone who fights above the 200th floor of this Heavens Arena has mastered the Nen ability."
"Above two hundred floors?"
Kastro was somewhat surprised: "No wonder there are floor masters in floors above 200 floors. Is that the case…"
"So those floor masters are all Nen users as well?"
Kastro knew how to draw inferences from one instance and tried to get more information: "They are all very powerful masters, right?"
"Master? Maybe~"
Lan chuckled and made no comment.
However, Kastro saw deep disdain in his behavior.
He's so disdainful of those guys that he doesn't even bother to give any comments.
This made Kastro think deeply.
It seems that in this world of Nen users, there are corresponding distinctions between strong and weak.
The man in front of him…
"If I want to see it…"
Kastro said in a deep voice: "Then what is the price?!"
The whole new worldview was slowly unfolding before him, and even more magical and powerful forces were beckoning him.
He had no reason to refuse to enter such a world!
"It's simple. I'm currently short of people. Sometimes, I have to do things and can't spare the time, so I need someone to take care of them."
Lan folded his hands and chuckled: "Just help me for a few years."
"Don't worry, the workload won't be too intense, and I promise that you won't lose anything."
"Help out for a few years..."
After hearing this, Kastro frowned slightly: "Are you asking me to join the mafia?"
"It's not like joining a mafia, it's just an employer-employee relationship~"
Lan found a vivid analogy.
"Just like the contract hunters in the Hunter Association, they will just complete the requirements of their employers and do not join any specific forces."
After he said that, Kastro's brows relaxed a little, and he was able to accept a lot of it in his heart.
After all, simple contract employment and directly joining the mafia are two different concepts.
Kastro's goal has always been to make a difference in the world of martial arts.
"Can you give me everything I want?"
Kastro still didn't quite believe it. "There are so many opportunities in the Heavens Arena. Or I can rely on my own abilities to find them..."
Click.
Before Kastro could finish his words, a notebook hit him in the face.
He raised his hand to take it, and the words "four major principles" flashed before his eyes.
"If there were really so many opportunities in the Heavens Arena, there wouldn't be so many people like you who overestimate themselves. You don't even have any common sense or preparation, and you just go to the 200th floor to fight head-on."
Lan said calmly: "As for you wanting to find it yourself, I'm sorry, but I'm not questioning your ability."
"The world of Nen users is not the same as the world of ordinary people."
"You have never been exposed to the world of Nen users in the past few years. Now you want to find it. You can imagine how difficult it is."
"Let's take a step back and say, even if you can find a circle of people with Nen ability, are you sure you can get what you want from them?"
"That world is more dangerous and unpredictable than the underworld I am in now."
"Are you sure that you can grow in the best possible way in such an environment?"
