Chapter 121: The Devil Whispered So You Have To Accept

.......

Pitou's eyes widened hearing the simple request that once thought about becomes quite complicated.

So instead, he explained it to her in his simple terms with his emotionless tone as he looked at her with his strange eyes as if looking into her soul.

"You have to agree as that wasn't a deal you're allowed to refuse."

Yasuo ignored Pitou's expression that became even more vigilante with desperation apparent in her eyes.

If he attacked, she'll have to cancel her ability to exit the forced Zetsu state which means the girl will most likely die depending on how long the fight is but he continued eliminating her vigilance to a certain extent.

"Not that you'd want to anyway, after all, Gon did say you only have 20 minutes left so imagine what could happen to your King in the time of 20 minutes, let alone the fact you'll have to go with him after that 20 minutes.

And I'll make sure you'll comply if you refuse my offer so that'll take even more time but if you accept my offer you'll save up that 20 minutes for a favor you won't mind doing... Did I convince you?"

Pitou frowned facing the reality of the situation... She doesn't have much choice but she still questioned to make sure the deal is fair, "How would I know that you won't use her again?"

"It's simple, you don't... but I will leave her with his friend who happens to be a kind-hearted kid to a certain extent so she's safe with him and I'm not interested in using her... What do you think? And remember, it's for your king so you have to comply, right?"

Yasuo whispered and when he whispers, one just has to accept and signs the devil's deal. sign on the stained paper, sign a deal none really know what it's really about...

He wrote some hidden words none can see but Pitou can see the apparent words, the ones he wants her to see and she knows there is a risk that there is something she doesn't know about but... There is something interesting about his whispers... It's hard to say no to... So she replied, "I accept..."

Yasuo smiled as the silver earring on his left ear started shining brightly painting the room in its color yet none can see that shining except Yasuo who gently stroke it for a bit as he stood up and only then did the shining disappear...

But the shining wasn't just from the Ant before him, No... It's also from the boy behind him as the earring shined like never before until the shining died down...

Yasuo slowly moved closer to the girl with even more proximity to Pitou who even after accept still remained cautious watching his every action carefully.

Yet... She didn't realize that watching him even with such proximity just doesn't matter. His pure physical speed combined with his control domain make his speed something even she could hardly contend with.

And she was barely able to see the scene that happened before her and he wasn't even trying his hardest.

She noticed the purple lines appearing all over his right arm then before she can react, that arm went through the girl leaving a purple mark on her...

A purple mark from which several purple lines started spreading through the girl's whole body as the violet shining appeared that seemed to want to engulf her whole body in its light.

Yet just as Pitou who deactivated her healing ability was about to react, the shining died down and what remained is the perfectly healthy girl...

The perfectly healthy girl with spotless skin as any wounds that were there previously could no longer be seen.

The restoration went to a level that the girl started waking up the moment the purple lines disappeared, fully healed, a miracle even Pitou found astonishing, she found the difference between her healing ability and his is massive.

"Mm, Where am I? Where is the King?" Wondered the girl the moment she woke up as she started touching the ground trying to stand up and see if anyone is near but her blindness makes this process much more complicated.

"Now, I have something to do so I'll go on my own way but before that..."

Then the moment he finished talking, a portal appeared before him which he went through for a second before coming back though several people followed after him, Killua, Knuckle, Ikalgo, Palm, and Meleoron.

Pitou watched all of this happen without making a single movement... She sensed the danger, the invisible danger within the mysterious man before her.

If she did anything he doesn't like, she will regret it... It's like she felt the dark yet invisible strings ready to snap at any point and the consequences will be dire.

So she remained motionless with what could be observed to be sweat coming down her face... She felt powerless as she realized just how dangerous those puny humans can be yet she hasn't realized that she hasn't seen a thing yet.

She watched as the human handed Komugi to one of the humans before turning to Gon and saying, "You know what to do, right?"

Gon slowly stood up and slightly nodded saying, "Thank you." Then he looked at Killua who is a bit confused by the events happening around him and said, "Killua... Keep Komugi with you until Pitou does what I want... Until she sets Kite free... Pitou you'll do that, right?"

A nod was Pitou's response as she felt like a prisoner like she has no say in what'll happen.

Her confusion only continued to grow throughout the confrontation but she decided to ignore that and focus on the most important thing, keeping Komugi safe and being by the King's side.

The people in the room seemed to be oblivious to the fact that Yasuo is no longer in the room as it took them a while to notice.

He left the same way he came, silently and elegantly as he still has some business left to do.

He left most of them confused especially Killua who wanted to talk to him about something he deems extremely important...

Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. ... An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.

The object moving currently is one of the fastest known animals in the known world and one of the fastest even among Chimera Ants.

A speed surpassing Netero's hand speed and that's the animal's running speed, if not for this particular Chimera ant's inexperience, his speed could've been much faster.

This Chimera Ant's appearance resembled that of a humanoid cheetah, he was also rather tall and slender.

His arms and legs were built in a segmented fashion, similar to many other second-generation Chimera Ants. His chest and thighs were covered in white fur and his head was covered with neck-long purple hair. Beneath his eyes were two purple lines, similar to those of a cheetah's.

Cheetu, one of the squadron leaders of the Chimera Ants and arguably the fastest Chimera Ant if one doesn't count Pitou and the King and even for Pitou, her specialization is more like jumping into the far distance with fast speeds which is definitely faster than him but in overall speed, he's definitely faster...

And that picked Yasuo's interest so he decided to include him with his other collectibles for later research... For some DNA research and something even more important.

Cheetu, a simple character with a great gift yet equal stupidity to almost negate it, someone who had faced Morel and lost which makes sense considering how intelligent and gifted Morel is making Cheetu's speed look useless... And now he is in the process of looking for that said individual.

And now, he is running in the palace's direction though he started doing so later than he expected due to witnessing something interesting. A bunch of strange humans, strange as in three Nen users wearing different outfits and what they were talking about.

Talking about taking over the entire Island and taking it as the Silver Snake's new stronghold and something about gaining glory for the manipulator.

That left Cheetu completely confused as he has no idea what any of that means but that didn't matter much for him, instead, he decided to try his new ability on them, an ability he specifically created to win against Morel yet he almost ended up dying in the confrontation.

That wasn't due to the three Nen users however, it was due to another Nen user who appeared before he had the chance to activate his ability, and that Nen user forced him to retreat as his ability is quite troublesome for speedsters.

He didn't give what the group's plans could mean for him any thought, instead, he focused on searching for Morel.

And so Cheetu could be seen running through the wilderness with a speed surpassing 10 Mach, the friction with the air doesn't seem to have any effect on him as he traveled like a bird flying in the sky unhinged until... "Eh??!"
