Listening to Kevin's words, Light knew in his heart that the moment of decision and showdown had arrived.
In fact, ever since he received that prophecy poem and helped Kevin and the others, he had already made up his mind.
What's more, he had personally experienced Kevin's miraculous abilities, which were no less astonishing than his daughter's prophetic power.
He still remembered how some of his mafia subordinates were caught in a conflict in Yorknew City and were severely injured.
Those injuries were extremely serious; under normal circumstances, they would have been impossible to heal, and his subordinates were destined to be disabled.
However, the small potion Kevin produced created a miracle, easily resolving these difficult problems.
Not only that, as a gesture of thanks, Kevin also specially prepared a strengthening and recovery potion and gave it to Light.
Light would never forget the wondrous feeling after drinking that tube of potion.
Since then, he felt as if his energy had suddenly returned to that of a twenty or thirty-year-old.
The chronic ailments accumulated over years of working in the mafia were also alleviated, or even completely disappeared, without him noticing.
This was truly unbelievable.
He knew in his heart that these problems could never be solved by modern medical technology, nor could they be eliminated by an ordinary potion; they must contain a miraculous power similar to his daughter's prophetic ability.
From that moment on, Light's resolve became even stronger.
Kevin continued, "You are willing to take such a big risk to help us. To be honest, I really can't understand why. Especially after you knew how ruthless and powerful the people chasing me were, you still persisted in doing this, which is even more perplexing."
"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, you seem somewhat familiar with Pairo and Rosana. Especially today, it was as if you knew Kurapika would come and had been anticipating his arrival. Why is that?" Kevin asked with burning eyes.
He urgently needed to understand the truth, otherwise, he couldn't give the other party his full trust.
And if he couldn't trust Light, the framework of the plan he had just conceived couldn't include him.
With his abilities, Light wasn't indispensable.
However, Light had helped him and shown very clear goodwill, and his conscience wouldn't allow him to ignore it.
Everyone helps me, I help everyone.
Over this period, a certain level of trust had been established between them. Furthermore, among non-Nen Users, Kevin didn't know many people he could trust.
Light took a deep breath, slowly took a piece of paper from his chest, and handed it to Kevin.
"Hmm?" Kevin was full of doubt as he took the paper.
The paper looked like a page casually torn from a notebook, but Light treated it like a treasure, carefully taking it out from his inner pocket.
"Dad, you still kept it," Neon, who was beside him, said happily when she saw the paper.
Light smiled and gently stroked his daughter's head, "This is a treasure you gave to Dad."
"Hehe," Neon smiled sweetly.
Kevin became even more puzzled. He refocused his attention and looked at the unfolded paper in his hand.
It was a poem?
As he read it word by word.
Kevin's expression was confused.
Kevin's expression was serious.
Kevin sat up straight.
The shock in his eyes became increasingly evident.
"Hiss—there's such a Nen Ability in the world?" Kevin secretly marveled; the wonders of this world far exceeded his imagination.
He had previously heard from Bisky about prophecy-type Nen Abilities, but the type she briefly described back then was only temporary, required a considerable price to use, and the content of the prophecy was subject to many restrictions.
Although somewhat powerful, it had significant flaws.
The main reason for mentioning such a case at the time was to tell Kevin and the other person to be careful in battles between Nen Users.
They should think with an open mind.
It also told them not to create Nen Abilities with obvious weaknesses, as once caught, it would be extremely fatal.
But the prophecy ability before him was truly outrageous.
The prophecy poem in his hand wasn't difficult to understand, especially when Kevin combined it with his own experiences; it became immediately clear.
No wonder. If this prophecy poem served as a guide, all of Light's previous actions made sense.
At this moment, Light handed him another piece of paper.
Kevin looked up at Light and took the paper.
It turned out to be the prophecy record from last month, with some changes in the content.
"So that's it, can this prophecy be changed?" Kevin suddenly understood.
When he first saw the first paper, because it recorded events from this month that had already been confirmed, he thought the prophecy was a fixed fact and couldn't be altered.
But upon seeing this record from last month, he discovered the clue.
In other words, this prophecy can not only avoid the occurrence of certain events but also predict them in advance and make changes. What kind of serious restriction would this require?
This is just too imaginative, isn't it?
If it weren't to maintain his image, Kevin really wanted to hold his head and think hard, pondering it thoroughly.
Kevin neatly folded the papers and handed them back to Light, resting his hands on his chin and falling into deep thought.
Light watched Kevin, saying nothing, just waiting quietly.
"Indeed, even in the realm of superpowers, my daughter's ability is quite rare, isn't it?"
Light thought to himself, which made him even happier, as it meant he held a more significant bargaining chip.
And it was his daughter, who was deeply connected to him; they were naturally in the same camp.
If he were facing a greedy and unscrupulous person, he would definitely be worried.
He understood the principle that possessing treasure invites trouble.
But after interacting with Kevin for this period, coupled with the guidance of the prophecy, he had confirmed that Kevin was a person with morals and principles.
It was precisely because of this that his bargaining chip was more valuable, and he could feel at ease choosing to cooperate with Kevin and being completely honest.
He also believed that by cooperating with Kevin, he would receive his due reward and obtain sufficient protection and respect.
It was precisely because of this that he would abandon the mafia path, which was too dangerous, full of deceit, cruelty, and violence.
At this moment, Kevin appeared calm and composed on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
He never expected such a thing to happen.
Undoubtedly, Light's showdown this time was a show of trust in him, and it also indicated that the other party hoped to establish a deep cooperative relationship with him.
Just as the prophecy poem hinted, he had made the right choice.
Kevin was clear about his abilities and goals; he was indeed confident in leading the Nostra Family to greater heights and a broader future.
Although his current strength was not yet sufficient to achieve all of this, it didn't prevent him from having his own views on the current state of the so-called "mafia apex."
After a flurry of thoughts, Kevin gradually cleared his mind and made a decisive decision.
He looked at Light opposite him and said, "I feel your sincerity. To be honest, this exceeded my expectations."
Kevin smiled helplessly, then his expression turned serious, "I do have some ideas and goals now, and achieving them requires a professional team and a certain level of influence.
As for how to proceed with the cooperation, let's find a time later to discuss it in detail."
Light nodded, "Of course. Would you like Neon to do a divination for you?"
Hearing this extremely appealing suggestion, Kevin fell silent for a moment.
Then, he suppressed his inner curiosity and shook his head, "This ability is indeed beyond my imagination.
But the more powerful and difficult to understand a Nen Ability is, the more likely it is to hide unknown costs.
These costs could even endanger life, so until I figure it out, you'd best not let your daughter make any predictions."
Kevin's words were not alarmist. In his opinion, such a powerful prophecy ability was truly too bizarre.
It must be treated with caution.
"What?! Is that really possible?!" Light instantly panicked and asked anxiously.
"Don't rush. From what I can see, you seem to have only discovered your daughter has this ability last month. You shouldn't have let her predict many times, right?" Kevin asked.
"Only twice, just these two pages you saw," Light quickly replied.
Kevin nodded, "That's good. Even if there's a problem, it shouldn't be too serious."
After all, such a powerful and exaggerated Nen Ability demanded careful handling from him.
