Reborn in HXH: I Plundered Infinite Traits Chapter 116: 100 Billion Astronomical Bounty!

Watching Machi and the others leave, the remaining mbers present fell into silence.

"Sosuke Aizen... This guy swallowed up our teor City. He is our enemy!"

Bonolenov expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Compared to the monster before us, there are no absolute enemies in this world, only absolute interests. We must find a more powerful partner to deal with this."

"Let's go. We'll stay as hidden as possible these next few days and look for an opportunity to capture all of that guy's friends! We can use them as bargaining chips to threaten him! At the sa ti, we'll wait for Machi's news!"

"That's the only way. Don't worry, Feitan, we will get revenge for you!"

"Let's go!"

...

In a certain ruin.

Chrollo and Hisoka fell into silence.

Currently, Chrollo had no intention of hiding anything. He directly made a phone call right in front of Hisoka.

"Connect to the Zoldyck Family. Tell them I have an order worth 100 billion."

Chrollo said calmly.

"The Zoldycks? If I rember correctly, that little brat next to Riku is from this family. Although they are a famous assassination family, I'm afraid your order..."

Hisoka chuckled lightly.

"For assassins, as long as the price offered is suitable, they would even kill their own relatives, let alone the Zoldyck Family."

Chrollo smiled.

Compared to a lone wolf like Hisoka, the Phantom Troupe possessed an absolute advantage and experience in this regard.

They understood these assassination families better than anyone. They were nothing more than a pack of hounds who followed whoever fed them. Whoever threw the atiest bones would have their obedience.

Although he had already perceived the danger to himself and the entire team from the prophetic poem, it seed all the mbers were now unwilling to follow his decision.

Fundantally, this decision he made had already violated their original intent.

When he first established this team, he had made a promise.

All personnel who joined the team would receive his protection, as well as the protection of all mbers, regardless of whether they were previously murderers, wanted criminals, or had committed any heinous cris.

As long as they were in this team, they were guiltless!

But now, after seeing the guidance of the prophetic poem, his decision clearly disappointed all the mbers, and they had decided to no longer follow his arrangents.

Although a voice deep down told him he should heed the poem's warning and flee this dangerous place as far as possible... the bonds forged with these mbers over so many years made it impossible for Chrollo to let go so easily.

He had once lost everything, and now he didn't want to lose these things again.

So, even knowing that his refusal to let go would likely plunge him into an extrely dangerous situation, he still wanted to do sothing.

"Hello, I am Gotoh, the butler of the Zoldyck Family. May I ask what request you have?"

A deep voice ca from the other end of the phone.

It was the Zoldyck's butler, Gotoh.

Even though Chrollo proposed an order worth a hundred billion, Gotoh didn't show much surprise.

"I need you to help deal with a person. As long as you can successfully complete the commission, I am willing to pay 100 billion Jenny, including items of equivalent value," Chrollo stated.

"Please describe your commission."

"Help kill the Pro Hunter, Riku. With your capabilities, you should be able to find all his information."

Chrollo said calmly.

A 100 billion Jenny commission!

This should be the highest-priced commission in the history of the entire global assassination underworld.

If the other party truly completed this commission, it would drain all the savings of the entire Troupe, and they might even have to sell off so treasures.

But these things were no longer important to Chrollo; he just needed all his mbers to survive.

The Zoldyck Family was the number one, strongest assassination family in the Hunter world.

They were globally renowned for their excellent service and strict adherence to their reputation!

As long as they accepted a commission, no matter how difficult, they would see it through to completion.

They fundantally didn't care who the client was, nor did they care who the target was.

Of course.

Soone had been refused once. This was the only ti the Zoldyck Family had ever issued a refusal: a guy wanted to commission them to kill Netero...

In reality, it wasn't just the Zoldyck Family; no assassination family in the entire dark world was willing to accept that commission.

Netero was currently acknowledged as the strongest individual in the Hunter world.

Assassinating such a terrifying existence was no different from a moth darting into a fla. If they failed and were caught, the opponent was still the Chairman of the Hunter Association.

One could imagine that the entire assassination family would face his towering wrath.

But other than that, there were no other negative reviews of the Zoldyck Family.

However, this ti, Chrollo couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly, because the other end of the phone seed to remain silent for a long ti without giving a reply.

Finally.

Chrollo heard a voice from the other end.

"I am very sorry, but we cannot accept your commission. This request has exceeded our capabilities."

Gotoh refused politely.

"You probably don't have the authority to refuse on behalf of the family, do you? I need to speak with soone from your family."

Chrollo said calmly.

"Alright."

Gotoh didn't refuse.

After waiting for a few minutes, a different voice ca from the other end.

"If this commission of yours was from a few months ago, I could consider it. But now, it is invalid. The Zoldyck Family does not accept any commissions regarding Riku. Furthermore, considering this is your first ti, I won't pursue this matter. But if I find out you issue this kind of commission again next ti, I will personally co to your door and take your head."

The one speaking was Illumi.

There was a hint of annoyance in his hollow, wooden eyes.

If he hadn't fought Riku a few months ago, he would have been very interested in accepting such a commission.

But ever since Riku practically bulldozed their entire family—and his grandfather even personally issued a warning that from now on, Riku would be an eternal friend to the family...

From that mont on, Illumi very tactfully erased any thoughts of dealing with Riku.

Click.

The phone was hung up abruptly.

Leaving Chrollo and Hisoka dumbfounded on the spot.

"Hehe, hehehe... It seems this little friend Riku has far more power than we imagined. To think even the Zoldyck Family, renowned in the black market for being tough, actually chose to list him as soone untouchable, just like Netero."

Hisoka narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flickering in them like a venomous snake hiding in the shadows, exuding a dangerous aura.

"The Zoldycks..."

Chrollo murmured softly. He truly didn't expect this world-renowned assassination family to display such a massive divergence in their usual choices.

It seed he had severely underestimated Riku's influence.

Judging by the decisiveness of the refusal, the entire family, from top to bottom, had probably already designated Riku as a non-assassination target.

For a top-tier assassination family with such long-standing fa, there could be no second reason that would make them yield.

In other words, prior to this, it was highly likely Riku had clashed with the Zoldyck Family, and the final result must have been Riku's victory.

Otherwise, such an ancient and dominant family wouldn't compromise in the face of a massive hundred-billion order.

"Post the order to other assassination families on the black market. Let the families ranked just below the Zoldycks handle it for ."

Chrollo massaged his brow and dialed a black market middleman's number again.

Soon.

In the assassination black market, an astronomical bounty was posted.

Pro Hunter Riku, bounty: 100 billion Jenny!

Hanging high at the top of the list, a full twenty billion higher than the second-ranked Netero's 80 billion Jenny!

For a ti.

The entire assassination world was thrown into turmoil. Countless assassination families sward toward this astronomical bounty like jackals catching the scent of blood.

"Doing this... you're probably driving yourself into a dead end."

Hisoka sighed with emotion.

Posting such an astronomical bounty on the black market practically ant entering an irreconcilable, fight-to-the-death situation with the targeted individual.

"Do you think we have a second choice? If it were you, you'd probably do the sa."

Chrollo chuckled lightly.

"Hehehe, hahaha~~"

Hisoka covered his face and let out a perverse laugh.

Indeed.

If he were handling the current situation, he would definitely choose a different thod.

Because the growth rate of this fruit had far exceeded expectations, even surpassing the limits of his own abilities. But if he still wanted to pluck this fruit, a smart hunter would choose far more clever thods.

"Let's go. It's ti to have a chat with those old geezers. Even though they're just cannon fodder, they still have the value of cannon fodder."

Chrollo stood up and said calmly.

Hisoka shrugged and followed.

In the Zoldyck Family.

"Young Master, soone is trying to target Mr. Riku and Killua. We..."

Butler Gotoh's expression wasn't looking good. Standing nearby, he couldn't help but issue a reminder.

Actually, when he received that phone call, he had the urge to report this information to Patriarch Silva.

"Hehe, a hundred billion bounty! It seems Riku's group has provoked a formidable existence this ti. If we took this order, our family wouldn't have to work for many years..."

Illumi sighed indifferently, his expression wooden. "If Killua dies in this kind of assassination, then he's unworthy of being a mber of our family. Oh, my foolish little brother~"

Gotoh: "..."

Illumi left directly, but ultimately still headed to where the Patriarch was, informing his grandfather and father of the news he had received.

There was no helping it; right now, the family and Riku were considered allies.

"Oh? A hundred-billion bounty? What a grand gesture. It seems they've been pushed into a corner. Is it the Ten Dons?"

Silva was sowhat surprised.

This was practically the largest order in history.

"No, the voice sounded very young, but it should be soone capable of making decisions. Highly likely... it's the Phantom Troupe. After all, there aren't many factions that can pull out this kind of money."

Illumi stated.

"Ah!! Is it that notorious Phantom Troupe? I heard those guys kill without batting an eye! Is Killua in danger? Silva! You have to go imdiately, you must go right now and protect our son!!"

Kikyo shrieked in emotional agitation, seemingly forgetting that she herself was also an assassin who killed without batting an eye.

"Mom! That kid Killua has thick skin and tough at, he definitely won't die that easily."

The fat Milluki grunted.

The young girl Kalluto stood nearby with a cold face, an expression of haughty tsundere on display.

"Hehe, the Phantom Troupe. Those guys have indeed earned quite a lot these past few years, but their reputation is also quite foul. Let's get ready to move out. Since he plans to attack our ally, then as allies, we should naturally intervene."

Silva glanced at Kikyo and the others, rolling his neck until it made loud cracking sounds.

There was no alternative.

Currently, the entire family was in an alliance with Riku, and the family's developnt for the next several centuries relied on him.

In order to forge a better relationship between the two sides, he had to put on a show this ti.

"Wait."

Just as they were preparing to set off, the hunchbacked old man, Zeno, walked in with his hands clasped behind his back.

"A hundred billion bounty. If it really is the Phantom Troupe, I'm afraid those guys have already been backed into a corner. Judging by the situation, our little friend should be the one holding the upper hand.

Since he hasn't invited us to assist him, intervening casually like this might cause displeasure. Illumi, give our little friend Riku a call and tell him about these matters.

Then, let him decide if he needs our help."

Zeno ordered.

Illumi: "..."

"Why aren't you going?"

Zeno frowned.

Illumi helplessly picked up the phone. It seed... Grandpa really wanted him to build a good relationship with that little monster.

...

anwhile.

The Ten Dons Council.

"Fuck!! Our Shadow Beasts are actually all dead. It's those damn bastards from the Phantom Troupe who killed all our people."

A robust, blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man roared furiously.

"Shut up!! If you had a better idea, you wouldn't be throwing a tantrum here. The Shadow Beasts have been wiped out, which ans the Phantom Troupe's strength far exceeds our expectations. What we need to consider next is how to deal with the impending crisis."

A fat old man in a black suit with a handlebar mustache shouted lowly.

"That's right. Now we have completely offended those damn wanted criminals. If things go wrong, those guys might just co straight to our door looking for trouble."

"Hmph! Looking for trouble with us? Just those bastards? We have so many people, so many weapons, so many guns. Even without the Shadow Beasts! Not even a nation could lay a hand on us."

"Even so, we can't possibly hide in a place like this forever!"

"Damn it!! What's the situation with the assassination families on the black market now?"

"Boss... many assassination families are unwilling to take this order. Moreover, many of them have now taken on a current astronomical bounty order."

"Astronomical bounty?"

"Yes, soone in the black market placed an astronomical order of 100 billion Jenny! Now those assassins are like dogs that found a bone, fighting madly over it! If we don't increase our bounty, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find anyone to take it."

"Fuck! A bunch of idiots! Damn it!!!"

...

At this mont, the entire underground conference room was in an uproar, filled with continuous curses and shouts.

Ever since the Shadow Beast organization was annihilated, all these Mafia bosses had relocated to a secret underground bunker.

Suddenly.

The lights in the bunker flickered violently, instantly causing the expressions of the Ten Dons present to change.
