Summary
Gon asks Zebro to lend him the key and tells him that if he refuses, he'll climb up the gate. Kurapika agrees and wants to try opening the gate first. Zebro refuses to give the key, however he tries to call from the headquarter but they did not consider his request. Gon wants to call the headquarters again, this time he'll talk to them. He introcudes himslef as a frind of Killua but instead the intendant replied that Killua doesn't have any friends. Gons shouts at the intendant but he still refuses. It may possible that Gon may not be who really is and only want to harm Killua. Gon runs outside and tries to climb up the gates. Zebro is already convinced and will try to open the gates for them to enter.

Inside the spacious domain, Zebro calls out for Mike so Gon and his friends may see him. Mike comes out which is actually a gigantic dog standing at around 20 feet. Gon gets nervous as Mike only lies down on the ground. Zebro explains that Mike is a perfectly trained dog. Then, they proceed to the house where Zebro stays. Gon and his friends are welcome by Seaquant, another servant. Zebro tells Gon to open the door of the house, but fails. The door is the same as the Gates of Trial, only weighing 200 kilograms. Zebro then asks them to drink a cup of tea but Kurapika notices that is is actually heavy. It weighs 20 kilogram. In order to serve the Zoldycks, the servants are in constant training by using weighed things. Zebro lets the three of them stay so they can have a special training. After 10 days, Gon, Kurapika and Leorio are ably to open the Gates of Trial.
