The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

"My physical strength has greatly increased, and my capacity for Nen has also seen significant improvement.

"It's really worth it. Even without the entanglement of Nen, my body's defense has become very strong."

"Amazing, I suddenly gained so much power!"

Whether it was through the eruption of punches and kicks or the testing of body defense with blades, a series of tests left Biscuit, Pansy, and Shiba in awe and joy.

Especially for the weaker Pansy and Shiba.

The effect of the Dragon's Blood had the greatest impact on the two of them, causing their strength to undergo a tremendous transformation.

For example, their physical strength.

In terms of strength alone, the two women can now easily push open the fourth gate of the Zoldyck Trial, which requires a force of over 32 tons.

As for defense.

Shiba tried using a dagger she carried with her and, without the entanglement of Nen, she could only leave a white mark on her arm even when using all her strength.

With this level of defense, it can be said that she has caught up directly with Biscuit's body defense, which has been honed for decades.

Of course, this refers to Biscuit before using the Dragon's Blood.

Now, her body defense has naturally been enhanced by the Dragon's Blood, reaching another level.

Biscuit, Shiba, and Pansy were pleasantly surprised.

Machi and Kalluto looked at Bailang with complex expressions.

The effect of the "Dragon's Blood" was enough to prove how precious of a treasure it was.

But even with such a treasure, Bailang did not keep it to himself and instead gave it to them to use. This undoubtedly caused a significant stir in the hearts of the two women.

Especially Machi.

Compared to Kalluto, she didn't have any actual hatred towards Bailang.

Although Bailang controlled her actions and always made her resist, after living together for many days, she also realized that she didn't actually reject being with Bailang.

"Perhaps following him like this is not a bad choice..."

Machi silently thought in her heart.

The appearance of the "Dragon's Blood" was just an interlude and did not affect Bailang's journey.

After leaving Huanlulu, Bailang continued to stay in the Dark Pearl with Biscuit and the others, controlling the Dark Pearl to travel through the clouds in the sky, heading towards the south where Shizuku was.

The members of the Phantom Troupe usually acted independently.

Shizuku, as a newcomer, was no exception.

However, the members of the Phantom Troupe had ways to stay in contact with each other.

Especially Machi.

She served as a liaison within the Phantom Troupe and naturally had Shizuku's contact information.

Similarly, Shizuku had no defenses against Machi.

When Machi made contact, it was very easy for her to find out Shizuku's location.

After a few days, Bailang successfully arrived at the location provided by Machi.

It was a small town on the edge of a forest.

"Okay, you just wait there, I'll be there soon!"

After coming out of the Dark Pearl, when Bailang had Machi contact Shizuku again, they quickly determined Shizuku's exact location.

Without any disguise, after Bailang learned the location, he directly brought Biscuit and the others into the town until they found Shizuku in a hotel.

"Machi, you're here. Hey, who are these people?"

At the door of the room, when Machi knocked, the door opened shortly after.

Inside the door stood a black-haired girl wearing a black sweater on top and jeans on the bottom.

At the same time, the fitted sweater perfectly highlighted the girl's figure, making many flight attendants jealous.

This girl was Shizuku.

After opening the door, Shizuku greeted Machi with a cute wave, but then she noticed that there were other people behind Machi and asked with some confusion.

"Come in and talk!" Machi's expression was a bit unnatural, but he didn't make any small movements. Instead, he reassured Shizuku.

Although Shizuku had a somewhat cute personality, she was born in Meteor Street and naturally lacked vigilance.

After taking a moment to observe Bailang and the others as well as Machi's reaction, she thought for a moment and didn't react much. Instead, she stepped aside and let them into the room.

Bailang naturally sat on the sofa in front of the coffee table.

...Flowers please...

At the same time, unlike Biscuit, Pengsi, and Shibaji who sat down together, Machi and Genki stood behind Bailang as usual.

Shizuku, who closed the door and walked to the side of the coffee table, tilted her head when she saw this scene.

"Machi, have you betrayed the Phantom Troupe?" Shizuku suddenly asked Machi, surprising her.

"More or less. Now, I completely follow his instructions." Machi nodded slightly and gestured with her chin towards Bailang sitting in front.

"Hello, Shizuku. I'm Bailang, a member of the Hell's Troupe. Machi brought me here to find you this time to invite you to join my team."

Bailang didn't react much to the conversation between Shizuku and Machi. Instead, he stood up, smiled, and extended his right hand to Shizuku.

...00

Shizuku looked at Machi, then lowered her gaze and looked at the extended right hand.

"Hello, I'm Shizuku. I accept your invitation!"

She sighed and also reached out her right hand to shake hands with Bailang.

Although Pengsi, who was sitting next to her, seemed relaxed like Bailang, she was actually prepared for a fight.

But when she saw that Shizuku accepted the invitation without any resistance, she was momentarily taken aback.

"Oh? You accepted just like that? Did you want to leave the Phantom Troupe a long time ago?" Pengsi couldn't help but speak up.

Shibaji looked at Shizuku with a skeptical look.

Her acceptance seemed too natural.

If it wasn't as Pengsi said, then it was intentionally showing weakness, planning to find an opportunity to escape later.

"Not really, I just think that I'm probably not your match, so to avoid unnecessary injuries, accepting your invitation is the best choice." Shizuku glanced at Pengsi, pushed her glasses up, and said calmly and cutely.

She wasn't really stupid.

From Machi's reaction, she had already judged that Bailang and the others were definitely powerful enough to make Machi powerless.

And her own strength was even weaker than Machi's.

If she resisted, it would not only be useless but also painful.

Naturally, the result was to not resist and obediently listen to them.
