Double-Star Hunter?!
The old man was dumbfounded.
Because the master issued a recruitnt notice this ti, quite a few Pro Hunters did indeed co, but many were also eliminated, with only a few remaining.
But... a Double-Star Hunter!
And so young too? This little guy before him is actually an expert!?
This changes everything completely.
Things like licenses are stepping stones, just like educational qualifications. This thing isn't the most important, but you absolutely cannot be without it. Otherwise, you can't knock this door open; even if you have great ability, others won't believe it.
But it was different now. As the old butler of this estate, he naturally still had this bit of discernnt.
No guy would have a hole in his head, failing to think things through and using a fake license to fool everyone. Once this kind of thing is discovered, it will draw an investigation from the Hunter Association, which would not be worth the loss.
...
Inside the estate.
In the gorgeously decorated main hall, several people were already waiting.
Strikingly, it included Kurapika, whom Riku was familiar with. At this mont, he was waiting in place with several other hired bodyguards.
Over this half-year, Kurapika continued to maintain the developnt of his destiny, learning how to use Nen abilities.
And he had already specialized it, targeting only that group of guys from the Phantom Troupe!
This ti, he ca here harboring the resolve to die, waiting for the people from the Troupe to appear, thereby seeking revenge!
Because based on the information found back then within the Zoldyck family, the people from the Phantom Troupe were highly likely to arrive here. Because for this world's top-tier auction, they would co to snatch so related items.
So Kurapika absolutely was unwilling to let such a good opportunity slip by.
The Nostrade family is a top-tier family in the city. Becoming a bodyguard here ant he would have the opportunity to directly enter and exit the auction venue when the ti ca, and also possess the right to move freely.
The most suitable profession!
In order to obtain this profession, Kurapika even awakened Nen under his "Master's" guidance, and finally obtained a recomndation letter from the black market to be able to join.
"To actually make us wait here for so long! How truly arrogant!"
Among the several waiting people, a young man with short hair, as thin as a monkey, Squala, spoke up.
"Ah, there's no need to be so anxious. Beautiful things always require waiting!" The great poet Basho, a burly man wearing a tank top but fond of reciting poetry, said.
Along with them was lody, with a head as bald as a mouse but speaking with a young girl's voice.
Baise with her skyward-pointing hairstyle, and so on.
A group of big shots and nobodies, so recognizable and so not, gathered together, forming the so-called tycoon's bodyguard team this ti.
Within the entire team, Kurapika naturally had the strongest power.
And in front of this group of people strikingly hung a monitor. On the monitor was a man sitting there with his legs crossed, exuding an imposing aura.
Dalzoll, the captain of this bodyguard team.
"Captain Dalzoll, there is one more applicant for the bodyguard position. Please wait a mont!"
The old man led Riku in and hastily spoke up.
"Didn't we already agree not to recruit any more people? The number of people is pretty much enough."
On the screen, Dalzoll was in a sowhat displeased mood, giving the old man a cold glance.
"Oh? It's actually a handso little brother~"
A pretty woman staring with a skyward-pointing hairstyle, who looked to have quite a bit of charm and a very slender figure, looked at Riku with a smile.
Baise!
That woman who possessed the ability to captivate n, but ultimately seed to die by Shizuku's hands.
lody and the other applicants present also cast their gazes towards the direction of the main door.
Strikingly, they could see Riku following the old servant in.
"Riku-nii!!"
Upon seeing Riku arrive, Kurapika excitedly called out, "Riku-nii! Are you also here to apply for a bodyguard position? I thought I wouldn't be able to see you until the day of the auction."
"Kurapika, we truly have excellent luck to actually et together again. Actually, I just ca over to take a look. I heard that tickets for the auction can't be obtained now, but if I beco a bodyguard, I can get in, so I ca over."
Riku quickly stepped forward and explained with a smile.
"Hehe, rely for the sake of entering the interior of the auction and getting all the tickets that you chose to co apply for a bodyguard position? Such an original intention is fundantally not sothing a qualified security personnel should possess. Our team is already..."
Dalzoll on the monitor had already started to beco sowhat impatient.
Moreover, Riku clearly looked like a young man. Even if he possessed strength, he probably wouldn't amount to much.
Furthermore, this guy only ca to apply for a bodyguard position to get into the auction. He really didn't know why this damn old thing let a guy like this in!
"Captain Dalzoll! This little brother is a Double-Star Pro Hunter!!"
Seemingly noticing that if Dalzoll continued speaking he might say the wrong thing, the old servant hurriedly interrupted his speech and emphasized.
What?
Hearing these words, the words that had already reached the edge of Security Captain Dalzoll's mouth were imdiately swallowed back down.
The other applicant mbers present stared at Riku one by one, dumbfounded, their faces couldn't help but reveal looks of disbelief.
"A Double-Star Hunter? H... how exaggerated? So young!?"
lody was extrely surprised.
However, she deeply felt that Riku's heartbeat was incredibly steady. Even the instant Riku arrived, she felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, giving her an instinctual fear and an urge to flee from here.
It's true!
What the other party said is absolutely true; this person before her is a true Double-Star Hunter!
So amazing!
Very strong!
Including Kurapika, because during this ti, she had been monitoring everyone's heartbeat.
Among them, the steadiest was Kurapika.
Although heartbeats cannot determine everything, they can also faintly infer the various characteristics of each person's strength and emotions.
To be able to maintain a steady heartbeat in such an oppressive scene inevitably ans being full of absolute confidence in one's own strength.
"Even a Double-Star Hunter is coming to apply? What's going on with this guy?"
The black brother Squala gave Riku a surprised look.
Because as a professional Double-Star Hunter, the salary and treatnt actually received from the Association are very generous.
There's fundantally no need to act as a bodyguard like this, and if a Double-Star Hunter serves as a bodyguard, the price would be very astonishing.
But generally speaking, no Double-Star Hunter is willing to condescend to do so so-called bodyguard work.
Then going by this logic, it indeed might be for the tickets, because once things like tickets are sold out, they truly are gone.
"Unbelievable, it seems he's a true genius!"
The poet Basho couldn't help but take a few more glances at Riku.
"What a handso little brother~"
Baise's beautiful eyes were even more radiant, even taking the initiative to show goodwill to Riku.
A Double-Star Hunter, and so young too; his future achievents will inevitably be limitless.
"Hehe, a Double-Star Hunter, huh? There have even been Triple-Star Hunters who ca to apply before. As long as one is bold enough, even the Chairman's license can be forged. However, I fundantally don't care if you are true Pro Hunters or not, nor do I care about the licenses in your hands."
"The minimum requirent for hiring you is that your strength must be strong enough. To prove this point, first, you must leave here safely!"
Captain Dalzoll sneered, even specially taking a few extra glances at Riku.
The next instant.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!
A dense sound of bullets rang out.
Baise grabbed the unlucky old servant to block in front of her, while the other applicants also successively used their own ultimate moves to flee.
They only saw that in the distance of this hall, a group of masked guys had appeared at so unknown ti. They were strikingly holding pistols and shooting at everyone.
Completely disregarding the deaths of everyone, even this old servant was caught in the crossfire.
"Sigh... truly cold and ruthless."
Riku sighed softly.
Kurapika had already released all the chains on his right hand and blocked in front of Riku. He was determined to protect Riku at all tis.
Although he also understood that Riku's strength was very powerful, when seeing this kind of accident, he would still instinctively stand in front of Riku.
This was out of trust between friends.
"It's fine, Kurapika."
Accompanied by Riku's words, a terrifying scene appeared. All the applicants present were horrified to see these bullets actually uniformly stopping entirely in mid-air.
They also stopped in front of Kurapika!
And in front of the old servant.
This old servant was so frightened right now that his eyes widened. He didn't expect that as a servant, he would actually be grabbed to serve as a at shield against bullets.
There were even several bullets stopped right in front of his eyeballs and forehead.
Stopping so bizarrely.
If a second passed and these bullets hit, he would inevitably be left without an intact corpse.
Kurapika was also stunned.
Not just him, everyone present stared in disbelief at these bullets stopped in place.
No one could figure out the reason for this.
"Don't use this kind of idiotic testing thod anymore. Furthermore, using it on this kind of old grandpa is truly cold-blooded enough."
Riku shook his head and stood in front of Kurapika.
At this ti, everyone finally realized that the reason these bullets stopped was highly likely the doing of this guy known as a Double-Star Pro Hunter.
"T... too bizarre!! The bullets actually stopped. What kind of ability is this?"
"Hiss—unbelievable, too unbelievable..."
"Gulp—is this the strength of a Double-Star Pro Hunter? So strong!"
...
The several people were internally shocked.
"Kurapika, very good. It seems you haven't wasted your ti during this period; your strength has clearly progressed."
Riku gently patted Kurapika's shoulder and praised.
Because there was one more trait among the opponent's traits.
[Vow and Limitation] (Red)
Truly very good!
The reason these Children of Destiny can be called Children of Destiny is because their potential and foundation will continuously enhance with the passage of ti in the human world.
For ordinary people, perhaps all their traits have already been fixed for life. Even through their own tempering, they can at most push the traits one step further.
But these Children of Destiny are completely different; they can birth brand new, superlative quality destiny traits.
The Kurapika before him is the best proof.
A Red trait!
But regarding this trait, Riku wasn't particularly concerned, because once this thing is possessed, it's also a kind of limitation for Riku.
Of course.
When there's an opportunity, he wouldn't mind farming it out and then shattering it for experience points.
He and Kurapika are completely different; he wouldn't go so far as to give up an entire forest for the sake of a small Phantom Troupe.
"Change to so fresh tricks; this is too childish!"
Riku smiled and flicked his finger.
In the next instant, these bullets hovering in mid-air instantly flew back in reverse.
Only a series of shattering sounds could be heard.
These black figures hiding in cloaks hadn't even had ti to scream before they were completely pierced through.
But Riku seed to have deliberately left half of the black figures.
Those black figures clearly froze for a mont, and then, seemingly receiving so kind of command, successively took out their own weapons.
They uniformly attacked towards everyone present.
"Heh!"
Riku smiled. The other applicants present were hurriedly preparing to fight, but he directly waved his hand towards the crowd.
Dragon Capturing Hand!
The thin, monkey-like guy, Squala, had his entire body's movents uncontrolled, flying towards Riku's direction. Then, amidst everyone's dumbfounded gazes, Riku grabbed him by the neck and held him mid-air.
Then, acting as a shield, he blocked those swords thrusting towards Riku.
What was surprising was that these swords automatically avoided this guy and still continued towards Riku behind him.
Boom—
The most handy move used.
Smash!
The thin, monkey-like guy, Squala, hadn't even had ti to let out a miserable scream. His head hit the ground first, and then with a bang, his head directly burst open like a waterlon.
He couldn't be any more dead.
His headless corpse was directly thrown onto the ground by Riku like trash.
And those black figures attacking the others were like their戾氣 [hostility/戾氣] was drained out. They successively knelt on the ground, then rapidly shriveled up, leaving only the black robes on their bodies and the weapons in their hands.
"It's actually Nen clones!"
"Hiss—th-that Squala died!?"
"T... too cruel, actually directly killing soone without saying a word!"
...
The other applicant mbers present were all dumbfounded watching this.
And Security Team Captain Dalzoll on the monitor couldn't help but have the corner of his mouth twitch fiercely twice.
This guy who died was his confidant, his strength absolutely not weak, his right-hand man. Now that he had died, it was absolutely a huge loss for this security operation.
Especially the opponent's ability, able to scatter into over a dozen clones!
Damn it!
This guy... is simply too arrogant.
Dalzoll couldn't help but feel anger welling up inside, but the combat power Riku had just displayed was simply too astonishing. He felt waves of numbness on his scalp.
He could only say he was both shocked and afraid!
And over at Riku's end.
[Ding! You killed Squala, randomly plundering opponent's traits in progress]
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully obtaining [Multiple Nen Clones] (Blue), [Manipulation Nen Talent] (Blue), [Disguise] (Blue)]
[[Manipulation Nen] (Blue) automatically fused with [Manipulation Type] (Gold), [Disguise] (Blue) automatically fused with [Super Copy] (Gold)]
[Ding! You possess [Minor Five Elents Clone] (Gold), automatically absorbing multiple Nen clone ability. Your Minor Five Elents Clone is automatically upgraded to [Multiple Minor Five Elents Clones] (Gold)]
A voice like heavenly music rang out in Riku's mind.
Yoho?!
Riku couldn't help but be sowhat surprised.
He didn't expect this to give him an unexpected pleasant surprise.
Farming a small mob actually pretty much dropped a god-tier equipnt.
So satisfying!
