Killua snatched the two tokens mid-air.
"Make it quick," Illumi Zoldyck commanded. "I need you back here by nightfall."
"Who are my targets?" Killua asked, rubbing his thumb over the wooden chips.
"A man by the name of Leorio Paladinight and his girlfriend, Tessa."
A gasp escaped his lips. "Leorio."
"Problem?" Illumi arched an eyebrow at his younger brother.
Killua detected a hint of a smirk on his brother's lips. "Who would want them dead?" he blurted out without thinking.
"Does it matter?"
Killua dropped his eyes. "No." He slipped the tokens into his pocket and headed for the door. "I'll be back soon."
It didn't take him long to find the couple. They were only a few cities over from the Zoldyck estate. Leorio and his girlfriend were eating lunch at an outdoor restaurant. They looked happy.
It's best to do it quickly, he thought to himself. He was perched on the branch of a nearby tree, stalking his prey. Slice their throats and get it over with. Killua was about to climb down from the tree, but stopped when he saw a third person join their party. His slanted eyes narrowed. If he needed to, he would kill them as well. Whoever the teenager was, he sat at the table with his back facing him.
Closing his eyes, Killua focused all of his Nen on his sense of hearing.
"We're being watched," the boy said loudly, not even bothering to whisper.
Killua's eyes flew open. All three of them were staring in his direction. He shrunk back into the shadows, but he knew it was of no use. He had been spotted. To make matters worse, the third guest wasn't just some teenager. It was Gon. His Gon.
