Chapter 27: The Zoldyck Family’s Move
"Nothing, just doing what needs to be done."
Lan looked at Light Nostrade, whose face looked a little dusty and tired.
"But boss, is it okay for you to come back so early?"
Apparently, he rushed back almost immediately after hearing about Neon's potential danger.
"Nothing; the Ritz Family has already taken care of everything."
Light Nostrade waved his hand: "Ken Porter did something stupid."
As he spoke, he sneered with his eyes revealing obvious gloating: "Their family is now unable to take care of itself, and it is already on the verge of being torn apart."
Ken Porter was the guy who had his neck broken by Lan on Meteor City and taunted Light Nostrade.
So, the current situation is that the leader is dead, and the people under his command are going to scatter like monkeys when the tree falls?
"No, no, no. Even if Ken Porter dies, he still has children and brothers who can step up and take charge of the situation."
Light Nostrade explained: "The main reason is that their family has no money."
"They targeted a certain family's business and then spent a large sum of money to hire a killer to assassinate the leader of that family."
"So now, they are spending more than they earn, and the whole family is starving!!"
As Light Nostrade explained, Lan gradually understood.
Just as he said, Ken Porter set his sights on a particularly profitable industry, and then spent a large sum of money to hire a killer to assassinate the leader of the family that owned that industry.
This has led to a serious deficit within their family.
Originally, Ken Porter was ambitious and ready to make a big move. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos on the other side caused by the death of the leader of that certain and take over the profitable industry.
To this end, he even went to Meteor City to find a powerful thug to ensure that this move to acquire the other party's industry would be foolproof.
But unfortunately, before he could realize his ambitions, he died miserably on Meteor City at Lan's hands.
As for the property he was plotting, it was called Aeryndor Mountain.
There is an abundance of ore on Aeryndor Mountain that can form a kind of crystal.
This kind of crystal is something that, just a little bit, can make people addicted and make life worse than death.
It is said that once you taste this refined crystal, you will be unable to stop and will never be able to get rid of it.
Many people would spend all their fortunes to buy the ore from Aeryndor Mountain.
In the end, everyone will be devastated and their families will be broken up.
The name of this mountain sounds quite familiar.
"It's the candidate named Anita, where she was originally."
In the second round of hunter testing in the original timeline, on the way to the third round of testing.
On the airship, there was a candidate named Anita who attacked Killua with a dagger.
She claimed that Killua killed her father and tore her family apart, and she wanted to kill Killua to avenge her father.
And where her family lives is Aeryndor Mountain.
"So, it was because of this assassination that Anita's family was destroyed, right?"
Well, when things are sorted out this way, everything makes sense.
And the assassin who assassinated Anita's father was... The Zoldyck family.
Only this family can basically ensure that the goal will be achieved without any mistakes.
Only this family asked for a very high price, which made the Porter family unable to make ends meet.
It is said that the official price made by the Zoldyck family to the outside world is 1 billion Jenny.
(T/N: Jenny is the name of the currency in the HxH world.)
If converted into RMB, it is about 60 million.
This number reflects the extremely high value of the Zoldyck family members and their status in the killer world.
And they don't support batch settlement.
After completing the order, they will take all the commission directly.
A one-time payment of 1 billion Jennys was too much for Ken Porter and his family, who were just a small family.
It was definitely a serious injury, and even a severe artery was cut.
Originally, after acquiring the mineral industry in Aeryndor Mountain, their family would be able to make some money back.
But who could have expected that the leader would die in Meteor City?
Of course, there are also some people with sharp vision in the family.
It emphasizes the need to decisively take over the industry.
But where there are sharp people, there are naturally short-sighted and stupid people.
Ken Porter's death was sudden, and the leaderless family naturally began to split up.
What's more, the drug industry is so attractive that other people are also eyeing it.
They certainly didn't want to see anyone from the Porter family come and join in the fun.
As a result, some underworld families secretly fanned the flames and basically attack the Porter family.
"Perhaps, even if Ken Porter hadn't been killed by me, he wouldn't have been able to keep the drug industry in Aeryndor Mountain..."
Lan glanced at Light Nostrade, who was in a good mood.
If Ken Porter had really prospered, then Light Nostrade would definitely not have lived as comfortably as he did later.
Most likely, when they were taking over the industry, they were killed by someone who was waiting behind them.
As for who will be the ultimate beneficiary of the victory, it depends on who gets the ore industry.
According to Light Nostrade,
"The Ritz Family has already intervened, and it won't be long before the matter is settled."
There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
