*Reborn in HxH as Maha's sister with basically immortality.** 
In my first life, I was a CEO. I had experience with negotiations, remaining calm in frightening situations, and being completely emotionally detached. 
Yes, I know. Typical cliche backstory. 
But for me, that was my life. 
I had the average childhood - books, movies, anime, school, and studying. 
I spent middle school waisting my life away, reading manga, watching anime, reading romance, watching sitcoms... and then I realized how my life wouldn't get anywhere like this. 
I had always despised couch potatoes, and I was slowly turning into one. 
So I finished reading and watching my current favorite manga and anime, Hunter X Hunter, and started studying. 
It turned out, I was a prodigy. I 
had astonishingly accurate memory - I could remember things just by looking and hearing them once. 
I expanded my knowledge by a LOT, and after graduating, I started my company. 
Alas, after my company reached #1 in the world, my family died in a car crash, and my closest friends betrayed me... (yes, I know. My life story is so common that if this were a book, no one would feel an ounce of pity.) 
I grew detached from the world. 
There was no entertainment, just work, boredom, sleep, work, sleep, boredom, work.... An endless cycle. 
Hearing an assassin would come, I wrote a will giving away everything to my business partner.  
After writing the will, I willingly drank the most lethal poison (since the assassin apparently knew I had become immune to most poisons after taking a class from the weapons master) and died peacefully, hoping my next life would be a little more exciting... and that I would have more people to rely on. 

I opened my eyes, unsure if I would be met with Heaven or Hell's gates, and found myself... facing a white wall, with noise and energy surrounding me. 
I looked around cautiously before realizing I could barely move my head. 

The last thing I heard was the word "Zoldyck..." before I passed out.

My New Life As A Zoldyck In HxH

It was evening, and I was currently stalking my target. 


Haisha wasn't hard to find- he was extremely fat, making me realize the picture in his profile wasn't an exaggeration, and had several bodyguards surrounding him. 


Haisha didn't seem to realize that he was drawing attention to himself with his protection, and he leisurely got in his car. 


I threw a tracker on the back of his car; it was possible, although unlikely, that I would lose his limousine and have to start over. 


Although we were several hundred feet away from each other, I could clearly head Haisha as he ordered his driver to go the "casino." 


Either he had an impenetrable defense at his destination and in his car, or he was simply being careless, naïve, and arrogant, believing himself to be completely safe simply because of his wealth and a few measly bodyguards. 


I climbed onto the roof of the nearest building and began to follow the car from the side, my eyes never leaving the car and using my peripheral vision to avoid falling or making any amateur mistakes. 


Despite the tint on the windows, I could clearly make out Haisha on a call. 


While I couldn't hear the contents, I could read lips, and slowed down my pace so I could concentrate. 


"-room at six. It's to celebrate the deal I made, and in honor of finally getting ahead of my rival. Knowing that loser, he'll hire some lousy assassin or something, so I hired a few bodyguards....


They're very capable, so don't worry, you scaredy-cat....


Alright, alright. Invite some friends, and bring some drinks, would ya? I have a meeting in a few days, though, so don't bring too much....


Alright. Come to the room by six with your friends AND drinks, or you can forget about that drug you like so much. No drinks, no drugs. Bye, I'm nearing my place so I'm hanging up. 


Pass the message along to your buddies, remember. It ain't a party without lots o' people. 


I narrow my eyes, and increase my pace, running slightly ahead of the limousine. 


The idiot was hosting a party two days before his important meeting? 


Not that it mattered, but that was incredibly stupid. 


Despite the threat of assassination - that he clearly knew about, and underestimated - he thought a few men with muscles would protect him?


Clenching my teeth, I fought back the desire to kill him now. A needle coated in nen and poison would get the job done in an instant, even with the target being in a moving vehicle. 


Futoi Haisha as a target was degrading the Zoldyck name. 


An amateur assassin could kill him; it was embarrassing for a Zoldyck to kill him. Even sending out a maid would take care of the guy. 


Unfortunately, father didn't seem to realize how stupid the job was, and if I returned now without completing the job, it would humiliate the Zoldyck name even more.
