Synopsis[]

Chap 42 - Milluki continuing to punish Killua

Milluki continuing to punish Killua

In a flashback, Canary introduces herself to Killua, who tells her that she doesn't have to call him master. Canary stresses that it wouldn't be appropriate since she's a servant, but Killua asks her to be his friend. Back in the present, underneath Kukuroo Mountain, Killua sleeps while hanging chained to the ceiling in a room filled with torture devices. His older brother Milluki has a cigarette in a mouth and a whip in his hand, striking Killua and ordering him to wake up. After Killua says good morning and tells him that he's early, Milluki puts out his cigarette on Killua's chest. Killua mocks him with an exaggerated apology, causing Milluki to whip him again. Killua spits out blood and smirks before Milluki's phone rings with a call from their mother. Milluki informs his brother that three of his friends are at the butlers' quarters. Killua shows no emotions in response, but when Milluki asks if he should have the butlers take care of them, Killua suddenly breaks one of the chains and stares menacingly at his brother, warning him not to do it.

The grandfather of the Zoldyck Family, Zeno, then enters the room and tells Milluki that that's enough. Milluki angrily replies that Killua doesn't even feel sorry for what he did, but Zeno tells his grandson that he may leave, with Killua easily breaking the other chain and then destroying all four shackles. Saying that he feels a little stiff, Killua tells Milluki that while he doesn't regret what he did, he understands that he deserved the punishment. Zeno informs Killua that his father would like to see him, and after he leaves, Milluki slams his whip down in anger and asks Zeno why he's so lenient toward Killua. Zeno stares at him and replies that he's special, asking what he thinks of his potential. Milluki guesses that he has the most talent of any Zoldyck ever, but stresses that he's too erratic to be a good assassin. He adds that no one who runs away and makes friends is fit to be the head of a family of assassins. Zeno admits that all his points are valid, and Milluki then says that he himself will kill anyone for the right price, describing his newest bomb which he can attach to a mosquito and detonate when it sucks blood. As the two leave the dungeon, Zeno tells Milluki that he's both smart and an idiot.

Chap 42 - Killua talking with his father

Killua talking with his father

Elsewhere in the Zoldyck mansion, Silva asks Killua about the friends he made, and Killua replies that he enjoys being with them. Silva then asks how the Hunter Exam went, and Killua gives a vague answer. Silva tells his son to sit near him and that he wants to hear about everything that happened, just asking that he talk to him. Back outside, Kikyo introduces herself as Killua's mother and introduces the young child as Kalluto. Not saying a word in reply, Gon turns as he hears Canary wake up, with both Leorio and Kurapika relieved to see that she was only unconscious. Gon asks Kikyo why they can't see Killua, and she explains that he is in solitary confinement after attacking his brother and her and then running away. She adds that he chose to return and repent, not sure when he will want to see visitors. However, as her visor suddenly makes a noise, she angrily wonders why Zeno allowed Killua to leave.

As Kikyo tells them that she has to go, Gon politely asks her to let Killua know that they will be in the area for 10 more days. She courteously agrees to do so and begins to leave, but Kalluto stays behind and continues to stare at the group of three before Kikyo orders him to catch up. Leorio bluntly comments that he has never met anyone more creepy, confident that Killua didn't choose to come back and suggesting that they follow his mother. Although he considers it, Gon worries that it will bring even more trouble to Canary, who sits up and tells the three that the butlers' quarters aren't far away. She adds that it has a phone which connects directly to the mansion, explaining that they may be able to see Killua if Zeno answers. Kikyo and Kalluto continue to sprint back toward the mansion, with the former extremely upset that no one asked her first about letting Killua leave.

Chap 42 - Killua promising to never betray his friends

Killua promising to never betray his friends

Back inside the mansion, Killua happily tells his father about how Gon defeated Hanzo, and after Silva says that Gon is definitely interesting, he asks Killua if he would like to see him. As Killua stays silent, Silva asks him to be honest and says that while they are father and son, there hasn't been much meaning in those words. He explains that he was raised by his own parents to be an assassin and he thought that it was how he should raise him as well. However, putting his hand on Killua's head, Silva tells him that he finally realized on the day he left that while he's his son, he is also his own person and has his own path to follow. He hopes that it will lead Killua back there, but again asks him if he wants to see his friends. Killua energetically says yes after a short pause, and Silva then bites his own thumb to draw blood, holding it out and asking him to promise that he will never betray his friends. Killua does the same and presses his thumb up against his father's, swearing that he will never betray them.

Kikyo suddenly opens the doors and informs Killua that his friends have left, telling him to return to his cell. After Killua refuses to do so and says that he is leaving, Kikyo reaches out her hand to stop him, but Killua glares at her and tells her to move aside. Appearing concerned at first, Kikyo praises his cold glare as she watches him leave. She then confronts Silva and asks why they allowed him to leave after Illumi finally brought him home. Silva tries to explain that Killua needs to go his own way, but Kikyo refuses to calm down and points out that it's the most crucial point in Killua's path to become the head of the family. After Silva replies that it's why they need to allow him to leave, he suddenly chuckles and assures her that he will be back, stressing that Killua is his son.
