In HxH with Doraemon Pocket Chapter 272 - 271

As the words fell, the burly man with a face full of scars lunged directly at Morin.

"Idiot."

Killua tilted his head and comnted.

He didn't even think it through. Even the Ten Dons put such a high bounty on them, wasn't that a clear indication of how difficult they were to deal with?!

The Ten Dons had the Shadow Beasts under their command. If the Shadow Beasts could handle Morin and his group, why would they bother coming to this place to issue a bounty?!

Not using his brain at all, with eyes only on that so-called...

!1!

Ten billion Jenny.

Serves you right to rush to your death like that???

Killua inwardly mocked.

Sure enough.

With a "bang" of a cannon shot, the burly man's blood splattered into the air.

His entire body was sent flying back even faster than when he lunged forward.

Boom!

His body was embedded into the wall with imnse destructive force, leaving his life or death uncertain.

The scene that unfolded with the burly man caused the atmosphere in the room to cool for a mont.

But soon enough?

"All together!!"

The crowd, which was about to calm down, exchanged glances and decisively made their move again, becoming agitated!!

After all, the sum of twenty billion for one person and forty billion Jenny for two was simply too tempting!!!

Old Ma once said that for a certain percentage of profit, people would dare to trample all laws of the world.

And this forty billion... was a completely risk-free deal!!!

Even if it ant gambling with their lives, they were willing to give it a try!!

However?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of cannon blasts echoed.

Correspondingly, one figure after another was sent flying.

Either crashing to the ground or landing on the floor.

"So, what should we do..."

Gon, Killua, and Leorio dodged the rain of blood from the sky and the bodies occasionally falling, while thinking of a way to respond.

"Since the opponents are Morin and the Phantom Troupe, they're not people we can handle."

Killua said, "In my family, my dad and grandpa rate the Phantom Troupe's assignnts at the highest level."

"If even they aren't confident, there's no need to ntion us."

Leorio nodded seriously, "Yeah, especially with Morin involved, we're friends, so we can't attack!!"

Are you afraid you're no match for Morin and might get accidentally injured?

Killua gave Leorio a sidelong glance.

The scene was gradually descending into chaos.

Morin's air cannon was blasting one after another, creating havoc all around.

These guys, blinded by money, ca in only to be blown away by Morin.

It didn't take long before there were hardly any people left standing in the room.

"How... how could this happen?!"

The remaining people were those who hadn't had the chance to join the battle from the outer edges.

Seeing the scene, they were all scared out of their wits.

"What kind of weapon is that?! Neither pistols, grenades, nor submachine guns are effective."

Their legs trembled, and their lips stamred.

Their eyes were filled with fear and shock.

"So, if you don't have the right tools, don't take on the job."

Morin blew the smoke from the barrel of his cannon, "Otherwise, the consequences could be quite severe."

As he finished speaking, Machi, who had disappeared earlier, suddenly appeared by Morin's side.

"How did it go?"

Morin knew she must have gone to raid the safe.

"I only found a small amount, not even a fraction of our bounty..."

Machi frowned slightly, "Either the organizers sensed sothing was wrong and took it when they fled, or the funds haven't been approved yet."

"Even the Ten Dons must have thought that in this underground arena, no one could possibly capture a mber of the Phantom Troupe, it was just a gimmick."

"Yeah, considering their prideful ten Shadow Beasts died so easily, how could anyone here et their standards?" Morin put away the [Air Cannon], ignoring the remaining terrified survivors.

"I do have sothing good here; if you like it, I can give it to you."

"What is it?"

---

Machi asked nonchalantly. For her, unless it was a tool related to money, she wasn't particularly interested in anything else. But this ti, it happened to catch her attention.

"It can bring you a lot of money."

Morin said this, watching Machi's reaction with interest.

"Hmm?!"

At the ntion of money, Machi's attention indeed shifted.

"And for you, there's absolutely no downside. It even aligns well with our thief's style."

Morin continued, noticing a glimr in Machi's eyes.

"Does such a tool really exist?"

She asked in a calm tone, but there was a hint of curiosity on her face.

"I only have things you can't imagine, but nothing you can't ask for."

Seeing Machi's interest piqued, Morin gave a slightly mysterious smile.

"I'll show you the tool later."

He then turned his attention to another direction, where Gon, Killua, and Leorio were standing.

"Do you know them?"

Machi asked again, "The attacks you launched earlier didn't really affect their direction."

"Yeah, one is the son of an old friend, another... well, let's say an acquaintance from a family I'm familiar with. As for the other one, we t later, and we get along well."

Morin briefly summarized the situation regarding Gon and his friends.

"I see."

Machi also glanced over.

Honestly, due to the Troupe's conduct and the customs from teor City, they typically didn't have many friends outside.

Morin seed to be an exception, appearing to have friends everywhere and always running into old acquaintances.

And now, in such a setting, he encountered the son of an old friend.

"Hey, Gon."

Seeing the three still hesitating, Morin stepped forward to greet them.

"So, holding a newspaper, are you planning to capture ?"

"How could that be?"

Leorio laughed awkwardly, "We're friends, and we'd never turn on a friend!"

"That's right!"

Gon chid in, "We just ca here to see if there are any auctions suitable for us to make so extra money."

"But Morin, you..."

Gon first glanced at Morin, then at Machi behind him.

"Has the Phantom Troupe already started operations in Yorknew City?"

Morin nodded, "Yeah, the underground auction of Mafia 777 has sothing we want, so we ca over."

"But with your tools, it should be easy to get what you want, right?"

Killua placed his hands behind his head, "Why involve the whole group?"

"Young man~"

Morin tapped Killua's head, who was pretending to be an adult.

"If everything were solved with tools, it would indeed be more convenient, but it would also take away a lot of the fun."

As Killua held his head in pain, Morin laughed.

"Besides, sotis organizing a team-building event helps strengthen bonds."

"What's team-building?" Gon was confused.

"You'll understand when you join a company in the future... though I doubt you'll have that choice."

"Oh."

Gon seed half-understanding.

"Didn't expect you to be a mber of the Phantom Troupe, Morin."

Killua rubbed his head, eyebrows furrowed, "You really kept that hidden well."

"Right! Right!"

Leorio wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "We just found out and were really shocked."

"No, no~"

Morin wouldn't admit it, "I told Gon during the Hunter Exam... What? Didn't he tell you?"

"Gon?!"

Leorio and Killua turned their gaze sharply towards Gon, eyes intense.

"Well..."
