"Ah!?"
Riku's words instantly left everyone present completely dumbfounded. They widened their eyes, staring at Riku in sheer disbelief.
They had originally thought Riku would agree to the opponent's conditions, but they never expected him to put forth such an outrageous demand.
This was simply no longer a negotiation; it was more like naked humiliation.
A humiliation of the Phantom Troupe!
Uvogin was also in a state of shock at this mont.
Kurapika was even more stunned. He had initially wondered what kind of condition Riku would propose, but he truly didn't anticipate it would be sothing so extre.
"..."
Clearly, Chrollo on the other end of the phone also fell into silence. A few seconds later, his voice beca incredibly icy.
A bone-chilling cold!
"Are you certain you want to make an irreconcilable enemy out of our Troupe?"
"Of course, absolutely certain, without a doubt. Between your entire team and , only one side will survive, and I am very certain the one surviving will be . If I were you, the best thing to do right now would be to take your team and flee from here, avoid forever, and perhaps you could drag out your miserable lives for a little while longer."
"Hehe..."
Chrollo's cold sneer ca through the phone. Just as he was about to speak again, Riku directly signaled Kurapika to make his move.
Kurapika paused for a mont, then his gaze turned incomparably resolute. He reached out and directly gouged out both of Uvogin's eyeballs.
Uvogin let out a muffled groan of agony. Although his voice was low, it was still heard by Chrollo.
"So this is what it feels like to gouge out soone's eyeballs. It's just a pity that your eyeballs only dirty my hands!"
Kurapika directly crushed Uvogin's eyeballs in his grip.
This scene made Baise, lody, and the others break out in a cold sweat. They finally realized that this seemingly harmless young man before them, just like their Captain, was a true madman!!
"Boss!! Avenge ! You must avenge ! I absolutely will not say a single word about everyone's information!!"
Uvogin roared furiously. Having his eyeballs gouged out, he was now like a heavily wounded beast, struggling desperately, but unable to break free at all.
Utter despair, unprecedented despair. He had already prepared himself to die.
Chrollo still wanted to say sothing, but Riku directly crushed the phone.
A wisp of lightning surged out, and the entire phone turned to ash.
Dalzoll: "..."
Uh, Boss, that was my newly bought phone.
Wait.
His phone had been breached, which ant the opponent could potentially track their location.
So they had to relocate imdiately. It seed the Boss doing this was to protect them.
As an experienced bodyguard, Dalzoll quickly ca to his senses, lingering fear in his heart.
"Cut off both his hands, Kurapika. There's no need to be too rciful to your enemies. Letting him die quickly is actually a release for him," Riku sneered.
Kurapika was startled, but then his gaze turned icy.
Yes, back then, how incredibly cruel were these guys to his clansn? They didn't even spare the children, forcefully gouging out their eyes.
So now, even if he chopped this damn bastard into pieces, he absolutely wasn't in the wrong.
This was what they deserved.
Kurapika directly drew a blade and infused it with Nen!
His eyes turned scarlet!
Slash—
Under everyone's shocked gazes, both of Uvogin's arms were forcefully severed.
Even the beast-like Uvogin felt imnse agony at this mont, roaring furiously.
But he still refused to speak a single piece of information about his team mbers.
"You can completely give up on that idea. I will absolutely not reveal any information. You guys will definitely follow to hell. I'll beco an evil ghost in hell and wait for you, hahahaha!"
Covered in blood, Uvogin yelled as if he had gone completely mad.
This scene made the others even more terrified.
It had to be said, as a top-tier powerhouse, even though Uvogin had fallen into absolute dire straits, the aura he exuded was still enough to intimidate soone of Dalzoll's caliber!
Just like the dying Overlord Xiang Yu by the Wu River, ordinary people simply couldn't approach him.
"Riku..."
Kurapika was also sowhat worried. Judging from the current situation, the opponent could even hack into their phones, which ant it was highly likely they could find their location via GPS.
Other than capturing Uvogin, they didn't know the whereabouts of the others.
Instead, they were the ones in the dark. It seed the roles of hunter and prey had suddenly been reversed.
Even Kurapika, knowing Riku was incredibly strong, didn't have absolute confidence that Riku could handle all kinds of sneak attacks from the darkness.
Once the opponent was fully aware of Riku's strength, it was highly likely they wouldn't choose a head-on battle. Instead, they might resort to poison or other assassination thods, or even place a bounty on the black market.
Such actions would put everyone in a very dangerous situation.
Riku didn't answer Kurapika directly. Instead, he slowly walked up to Uvogin.
Although Uvogin's eyes had been gouged out, as a top-tier expert, he could sense his surroundings through aura; he could use aura even without eyes, vaguely perceiving the situation.
Uvogin 'saw' Riku walking towards him. Like a beast bound by chains, he struggled furiously, as if he wanted to pounce and bite Riku to death.
"Even if you torture to death, I won't say a single word. Give up on that thought. If you have the guts, kill right now! Otherwise, I'll definitely hear the sound of your miserable deaths with my own ears!"
Uvogin laughed maniacally.
Riku rely placed his hand on the center of Uvogin's forehead without saying a word.
Uvogin paused, not understanding what this was about.
Since he had already decided he would absolutely not reveal any information about the others, it ant Riku and his group would be in an absolutely passive position. Did this guy have no counterasure for this situation?
Wait!
Uvogin's entire body suddenly trembled violently. He had just felt an incredibly familiar aura, one he had experienced in his own mind before.
Pakunoda!!
Yes, that was exactly what it felt like. The na of this familiar teammate automatically surfaced in Uvogin's mind.
Because after joining the Troupe, in order to understand Pakunoda's ability, the Boss had let everyone familiarize themselves with it.
But... but... how is that possible!!!
As if suddenly realizing sothing unbelievable, Uvogin plunged into unprecedented shock and terror. He no longer had the fury and roaring of a mad bull from before.
Only unprecedented terror and shock remained!!
"Oh... although you don't have eyes, your perception is indeed still very sharp. Did that just feel very familiar? Like an old friend of yours?"
Riku smiled.
Uvogin didn't make any verbal response to this, but his body couldn't help trembling violently.
Pakunoda!!
It was Pakunoda!!
But that was absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible, it could never be possible.
Wasn't she already dead? He had even seen her dead corpse.
Why could her ability still appear in this world? In this world, other than the Boss, no one else could copy the abilities of other Nen users.
Impossible!!
This is absolutely impossible!!!
Uvogin roared hysterically in his heart. He 'looked' at Riku with his empty eye sockets, his aura desperately trying to sense the opponent.
If it were true, if the opponent could use this thod to read the mories in his mind, then any torture was aningless. Furthermore, it was highly likely the opponent had just obtained all the information regarding every mber.
He had essentially, indirectly sold out all his mbers, including the Boss.
Pakunoda's ability only required touching the opponent to read specified mories, and could even inject these mories into others' minds using bullets.
"Yes, your team mber's na is Pakunoda, right? Her ability is still very nice; at the very least, mind-reading is very rare. I should thank you, because you guys made stronger.
You're of no value to anymore now, right? Uvogin."
Riku smiled.
"No—Impossible!! You must be deliberately bluffing right now. I will absolutely not reveal any information. You don't need to try and use this thod to create a psychological loophole in . I'm not that weak of a person!"
Uvogin shook his head frantically, refusing to believe it!
He simply believed the opponent was deliberately playing a trick, trying to bluff information out of him and break his psychological defenses.
"Actually, I don't need to explain anything to you, but I want little Pika to see your despairing and painful expression, so I'll explain it to you anyway.
Perhaps you still don't understand what my ability is. Unfortunately, my ability is... a secret..."
Riku chuckled, raising his hand.
Hum~~
Centered on Riku, an En appeared.
Nen En, four ters.
Yes, keeping this distance was just right.
It wasn't Nobunaga's En, because that idiot didn't drop that ability, but this kind of thing was completely universal.
He was using the En he fard from Zeno, just forcefully restricted to a four-ter radius.
Possessing aura, Uvogin could naturally clearly sense the appearance of the En.
In that instant, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. He trembled even more violently, unprecedented despair and terror filling his heart.
He was no longer the fearless beast.
He was the sinner who betrayed the entire Troupe!
His psychological defenses were completely shattered.
"It's a real sha. I still got all the information about your team from you, including their characteristics, abilities, and even their likely hiding spots. In fact, I already marked them long ago; that explosion wasn't just an explosion.
So you don't need to worry too much. Soon enough, your team mbers will go to hell one by one to join you. I sincerely wish you all can make it big in hell and create new glories."
Riku smiled.
"Impossible... impossible... absolutely impossible... No, no, no, no, no... I didn't, I didn't betray them... I didn't... I... Wuwuwu..."
At this mont.
This beast-like man was actually trembling uncontrollably and weeping, his mind completely broken.
Even having his eyes gouged out and arms severed couldn't inflict such psychological damage on him, but right now, Uvogin had utterly collapsed.
"So... so amazing... Captain..."
Seeing this, the others were completely dumbfounded, incredibly shocked by Riku's interrogation thods.
Dalzoll and the others couldn't help but gasp in amazent.
They were incredibly thankful for their choice; being on the sa team as Riku was absolutely the luckiest choice of their lives.
Kurapika was also stunned.
He didn't expect this man, who absolutely wouldn't yield, to suffer a complete emotional breakdown after just a conversation with Riku.
Furthermore, including him, no one present had understood the specifics of what Riku had discussed with him.
"Alright, Uvogin, you should get so good rest. Let see, you're number 11, right? Then tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock, we will execute you. It's a very good number, full of a sense of ceremony. I believe you will be satisfied with it.
Get a good night's rest tonight. If you sleep too late, you'll get dark circles. Kurapika, you guys should go rest too."
Riku gently patted Uvogin's shoulder.
The others were incredibly silent: "..."
"Thank you... Riku!"
Kurapika spoke up, breaking the silence.
"It's fine. I told you, you are my friend, I will take care of you. That's all."
Riku smiled faintly.
...
In a certain ruin.
Chrollo looked at the disconnected phone, falling into silence.
"Boss!! We absolutely cannot let this go on!! Although I believe Uvogin won't leak our information, we absolutely cannot just watch him die like this!"
"Damn it!! That damn brat's strength is just too great. If we fight him head-on, we might not be his match, but we can choose other thods, Boss!"
"Even though Nobunaga and I were at each other's throats, watching him die right in front of ... I absolutely cannot swallow this anger."
"Boss! We agreed we are a team!! Boss!!"
...
The other mbers present were all incredibly furious.
Clearly, after eating Riku's Patrick Star art earlier, everyone was quite heavily injured and completely enraged.
"Feitan, I'll leave this place to you. I will handle avenging Uvogin... You guys focus on recovering your injuries. He won't die in vain. Hisoka, right? You've always wanted to fight ... but unfortunately, I can't agree to it right now. How about we join forces to deal with this kid, and then have our duel?"
Chrollo crossed his arms and rested his chin on them, pondering.
"Hehe, naturally, I'd be happy to oblige. I've looked into it; the reason the Mafia could transfer the goods in advance was because of that Nostrade daughter's prophetic ability. I suggest you consider acquiring her ability before making a move. It'll be safer, hehe."
Hisoka's lips curled up as he spoke.
...
The next day.
Eleven o'clock.
A ti full of a sense of ceremony.
