HxH: Noah’s Heart

"Havier?! What happened?" The dark-skinned man opened his eyes and stared in disbelief at the headless corpse lying on the ground, muttering.

Just a moment ago, Havier was fine, but as soon as he looked away, Havier was killed. What had happened? What had that young man done?

Countless questions raced through the dark-skinned man's mind.

The golden-haired woman, Eve, was also in a state of shock.

Havier was the second strongest among them, and this kid had easily killed him?

With these thoughts, when Eve shifted her gaze back to Noah, she felt an overwhelming sense of pressure emanating from him. Her body trembled involuntarily.

Who is this guy?

As she withdrew her gaze, Noah looked ahead to where Eve and the dark-skinned man were. In their eyes, Noah instantly disappeared from his original spot.

Gone! Where did he go?

At that moment when Noah disappeared, the dark-skinned man immediately began searching for Noah's location. When he turned his gaze to Eve, who was nearby, he unconsciously took a step back.

He saw that Noah had already stopped in front of Evelyn, and his claw-like hand was thrust into Eve's chest. Her wide eyes still held expressions of panic and confusion. Clearly, she hadn't even realized what happened before Noah took her life.

Can't win!

The dark-skinned man watched Noah, instinctively backing away until he leaned against the wall. His face was filled with terror.

I'm going to die, just like Havier and Eve, killed instantly by this guy.

This guy…

He's a monster!

At this moment, the dark-skinned man's fear of Noah reached its peak, and the fighting spirit in his heart was completely extinguished before it could even ignite.

At this moment, memories suddenly surfaced in the dark-skinned man's mind.

His name was Shaz, and like Betero, Havier, and Eve, he was one of the Elder's lackeys.

Shaz used to lead a mundane life, responsible for patrolling and guarding Meteor City for the Elder's Council. But one day, he was ordered to come to this underground laboratory, filled with doubts and confusion, where he underwent the fusion experiment with "Zero" cells.

The "Zero" cell fusion experiment had an extremely high failure rate, and those who failed would end up as a puddle of blood.

However, Shaz miraculously survived and awakened a formidable power he had never dared to imagine.

At that moment, Shaz felt that his life was about to change.

He was no longer the timid Shaz of the past; he had become stronger, tens of times stronger than those "ordinary people."

He believed he was the chosen one, otherwise, how could he have survived that brutal experiment?

Shaz swore that one day, he would get everything he wanted in Meteor City, and even in the world outside.

I am the strongest!

At this moment, Shaz realized that the words he had repeated to himself every day were nothing but the arrogant delusions of a child, an ignorant and naive fantasy.

They weren't even in the same league.

Shaz now understood that there was an insurmountable gap between himself and the young man before him.

It was a true difference in levels!

With these thoughts, Shaz felt a sudden pain in his chest, and then the entire world plunged into darkness.

With a casual motion, Noah withdrew his hand from Shaz's chest, without even sparing him a glance. He immediately turned, opened the door to the white room, and walked inside.

Dealing with Shaz and the others was a ridiculously easy task for Noah.

He didn't even need to use his advantage of turning experimental subjects into blood. In front of Noah, Shaz and his companions were no different from ordinary people.

At this moment, Noah finally understood the position that Cain, who had fought against him before, had been in.

"It's really fortunate that I wasn't killed by Cain back then."

Noah murmured as he recalled the cheerful man.

After Noah entered the white room, the researchers in the rooms on both sides of the corridor cautiously came out.

When they did, they were astonished to find that the bodies of Havier, Eve, and Shaz, who had died, gradually turned into puddles of blood.

A collapse phenomenon.

The white room was a circular space. An arched staircase extended from the room's entrance to a huge experimental platform below.

The platform had test tubes filled with blood, and two middle-aged men in white lab coats, wearing isolation gloves, were concentrating on studying the blood.

Behind the experimental platform were cabinets.

On the left side of the platform was a large electronic machine, a large freezer, and three cultivation tanks that could each accommodate one person. A man in a suit stood in front of one of the cultivation tanks.

"Shaz, what's happening outside?"

Sensing that the room's door had been opened, the man in the suit asked without turning his head.

As for the two middle-aged researchers standing by the experimental platform, they didn't even lift their heads. Their minds were completely focused on the platform.

"There are intruders," Noah replied after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing an unfamiliar voice, the man in the suit and the two researchers instinctively turned or raised their heads to look at the door.

When they saw Noah, the man in the suit's expression gradually darkened.

As for the bespectacled man among the other two, upon seeing Noah, his pupils involuntarily contracted, and the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost.

"Who are you?" The man in the suit asked, and his aura began to rise slowly.

Seeing the "Nen" on the man in the suit and the denser aura compared to the three outside, Noah realized that this guy in the suit was different from the three he had just killed.

This man in the suit was not one of the experimental creations; he was a genuine Nen user.

"I already said I'm an intruder," Noah replied to his question again.

Frowning, the man in the suit's aura grew even more sinister.

"I'm sorry, but this place doesn't welcome intruders. You can only die here." After saying that, the man in the suit stepped forward and lunged toward Noah.

At this moment, the two researchers at the experimental platform, including the man with the big flat top, merely glanced at Noah before shifting their gaze back to the platform.

In their view, no matter who this intruder was, with the man in the suit taking action, he was surely doomed. There was no need to waste time on him.

They had to figure out the collapse phenomenon on Rami's body.

With this in mind, he spoke, "Dr. White, come and take a look at this."

However, his words didn't receive a response from the other person. He curiously raised his head and looked to the side.

"Dr. White?"

Then, he saw that his companion had somehow retreated and leaned against the cabinet in the back. He was staring in the direction of the door in shock.
