"How many years has it been since we gathered together?"
Nobunaga sighed with emotion.
"Three years and two months, but we have a few new people this ti."
Feitan narrowed his eyes.
"Number 4 and Number 8..." Machi said, "But Number 4 might be a bit late..."
"Just a defeated general. After we finish this, let's kick that guy out of the team."
The burly Franklin spoke with a muffled voice, his earlobes adorned with earrings that almost hung down to his shoulders.
"It's best if he doesn't co. I really hate that guy. I truly don't understand why the Leader wants to keep him. Compared to that guy, I'm more curious about that Ulquiorra and Aizen. I really hope I can exchange blows with those two guys!"
Feitan kept his hands in his pockets, his collar covering half of his face.
Machi said, "If you truly fought them, I don't think you'd be interested. I hate dealing with dangerous guys the most. I wonder what the Leader plans to have steal this ti? I think it might be ancient books or sothing; the Leader really likes reading."
"It won't be. I think it's a ga."
"A ga?"
"A few of the world's most expensive gas are appearing at the auction, and they are the most dangerous gas in the world. I'm also very interested."
Feitan said with a smile, thought for a mont, and then continued, "Regardless of what the Leader wants us to take away, in short, we will empty out everything and pack it all up to take away."
The two conversed, while Nobunaga and Franklin had already started fighting behind them.
These two guys were both battle maniacs; they often fought together when they t.
And in the ruins not far ahead.
Chrollo and the others had also arrived.
After he announced the goal of this operation, everyone was surprised.
Because the goal of this operation was actually to plunder the entire auction completely empty, seemingly with no difference from what Feitan anticipated.
"Leader! Are you serious? The underground auction gathers the world's mafia organizations. If we do this, it's equivalent to making enemies of the entire world's mafia, Leader!"
Uvogin, a man as burly and solid as a brown bear, couldn't help but say.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
The handso Chrollo said with a smile.
"No... I'm so happy! Leader!! Give the order!!"
Uvogin's expression suddenly beca exceptionally excited and ferocious, even drool flowing down from between his teeth.
He could no longer suppress the impulsive desire to fight surging within him!!
"Now, I order you to kill them all!"
Chrollo instructed with a faint smile.
"Great! Hahahahahaha! Those who block die!!!"
Uvogin laughed wildly.
The other Troupe mbers present also shouted excitedly.
...
Inside the five-star hotel.
Everyone had already been settled. Young Miss Neon had instructed Baise to take care of her.
Dalzoll was reporting to Boss Light, because only he knew about the previous matters; Riku didn't know. So he was still responsible for these matters, such as providing prophetic poems to other mafia bosses.
He reported these things over the phone.
"Everything will appreciate in value, the basent will beco your resting place. You cannot go down stairs that haven't been climbed, nor can you compete with others for numbers."
This was the result of Neon's divination.
Sleep and death are related; this is experience drawn from the past.
So he must explain clearly to the boss that there is a high probability a major problem will occur at this auction. Therefore, he must prepare the boss in advance.
Riku, on the other hand, didn't care much about these things.
Anyway, Riku's main strategy right now was to et force with force, to take things as they co.
All sches and stratagems pale in the face of absolute power.
Sches... are only needed by the weak when considering matters. When your strength is sufficient to overturn all obstacles, you simply don't need to consider how to escape a predicant.
A straightforward, head-on charge is the simplest thod.
For example, when a weak person sees a rock, they will think about how to move it. They might consider asking for help or using an excavator or other thods.
But for a powerful person, like Riku, when encountering the sa trouble, the first thought is rely to casually kick it away.
It's just that simple.
"Also, Boss... Captain Riku requests that I take him to inspect the venue's arrangents, to facilitate protecting the Young Miss's safety within the venue."
Dalzoll said carefully.
Because Riku had brought this up while they were in the car. The supposed excuse was hoping to better familiarize himself with and understand the environnt, thereby protecting the Young Miss.
"..."
The other end of the phone fell silent for a mont, ultimately giving an answer, "I will contact the auction side. You can take Riku over to inspect, but do not have any other ideas."
"Understood, rest assured, Boss!"
Dalzoll hastily said.
...
"Captain! The matter is settled. Let's go tour the auction."
Dalzoll's face was piled with smiles as he said to Riku.
He absolutely dared not directly refuse any of Riku's requests. Now that the boss had agreed, it was absolutely good news for him.
The ti the two spent alone together would inevitably allow them to improve their relationship.
Moreover, so problems had appeared in the Young Miss's prophetic verses this ti, indicating it was highly likely they would suffer turmoil during this auction.
This made him, as the forr captain, couldn't help but feel sowhat worried.
If he could quickly build a good relationship with Riku at this ti, it would inevitably greatly increase his mission success rate in this auction!
"Let's go. Kurapika, you are in charge here."
Riku instructed.
"Understood, Riku-nii!"
Kurapika gladly accepted the order. He was absolutely obedient to Riku.
Soon.
Riku, accompanied by Dalzoll, began to tour the entire auction venue. Because they had the identity of the Light Nostrade mafia family, the two of them proceeded unimpeded.
Coupled with the fact that this guy Dalzoll was considered a fairly famous bodyguard in this city, many bodyguards recognized him. So places that required inspection even let them pass directly.
"Lord... this way is where the main vault of the entire auction is located. You see, we..."
Dalzoll really wanted to say, you see we shouldn't go over there, that's a sensitive area.
Although the Nostrade family is also a behind-the-scenes shareholder of this auction, they are, after all, only one of the shareholders. Other mafias also hold shares.
There's simply no need to go to such a place.
"Since it's a vault, it's also a very important place. We should also go take a look."
Riku said faintly.
Wasn't the reason he ca here to get this job precisely for this big vault? And when the ti cos, he would directly toss the bla onto the group of guys who co to rob it.
That's a group of Great Sages of Balancing the Books!
Tsk tsk tsk.
The corner of Dalzoll's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but think of that mural in his head.
If he disobeyed Riku's order, his outco would probably be similar. So he had absolutely no choice and directly took Riku to the vault, biting the bullet.
"Halt! This is the auction vault! No one is allowed to approach."
But they hadn't walked far, while there was still so distance to the vault, they were already stopped.
"We are bodyguards of the Nostrade family! I am Dalzoll!"
Dalzoll revealed his identity. It had to be said, this identity still carried so weight, at least allowing the two to pass through a few more checkpoints.
But in reality, there were a full dozen checkpoints in front of the entire vault.
However, at the last few checkpoints, they were ultimately not allowed in.
Because even the Nostrade family could not enter alone without the joint permission of the other mafia bosses.
Dalzoll's expression right now was very ugly. He was just short of kneeling down to beg this colleague guarding the door.
"Alright, this is far enough. I pretty much understand."
At this ti, Riku's words were simply like the voice of heaven, instantly rescuing Dalzoll.
"Let's go back."
Riku spoke calmly, and then directly left.
But no one noticed that after Riku left, several tiny lightning mosquitoes appeared, almost imperceptible, quietly perching in the corners, so even squeezing into the keyholes.
Riku's control over the Lightning Nen Beasts had now surged to a full range of over 30 kiloters.
Let alone a re vault, he could cover more than half the city.
He rely ca here to place so wards.
Once the auction starts and that group of robbers cos in, he will be here ready to receive them at any ti, sweeping up everything from the bottom and leaving an empty shell for them.
Then, using the identity of the Nostrade family, he will directly issue a wanted order for that group of guys, making them carry the bla to their deaths.
Perfect!
Comfortable!
Dalzoll finally let out a long sigh of relief. He had finally managed to serve this malefic star well.
Moreover, aside from their few people, there were also several prepared security personnel here.
Like small fry, Riku couldn't be bothered to spare them a glance.
He directly used Dalzoll's set, just modifying the security distribution map a bit.
As so favor for their obedience, Basho, Baise, and Squala were arranged at the back door.
Several cannon fodder and Dalzoll were responsible for the auction venue.
He himself, Kurapika, and lody were responsible for the front door.
Because only from the front door could they go to the observation tower, see the furthest, and witness with their own eyes those fish taking the bait!
Hearing this arrangent, Dalzoll almost cried on the spot.
The auction venue is absolutely the most dangerous place. Although he had this awareness beforehand...
But now, having learned of the young miss's prophecy regarding what they would do this ti, he was sowhat restless again.
He originally hoped to stick with Riku and ride his coattails, but looking at it now, he still had to take charge on his own. On the contrary, Riku chose the relatively low-risk front door.
This guy...
Even if he felt bitter inside, like a mute eating coptis, Dalzoll couldn't say a single word.
"Don't worry. As a reward for you calling Captain during this period, I will ensure you all survive."
Riku glanced at the few people and said calmly.
"Ah!? Th... that's wonderful!! Captain!! Captain!!"
Hearing these words, Dalzoll was so moved he was about to cry.
The words he wanted to hear the most, he finally heard.
Although Riku rarely made such promises, coming from such a powerful person, he still very much believed in the credibility of these words.
"It's true... I just don't know why he's so confident."
lody heard Riku's heartbeat and also confird the truth of this matter, but she was sowhat doubtful.
Baise, the black brother, and Basho were also deeply moved.
"Alright, go according to your respective arrangents. If there are any problems, contact directly via the walkie-talkie. If you are eliminated before you can even use the walkie-talkie, you can only bla yourselves for lacking the strength to accept this mission."
Riku said faintly.
"Yes... Captain!!"
The crowd dispersed.
In reality, Riku had already placed quite a few Lightning Nen Beasts throughout the entire auction venue.
All this was thanks to his Minor Five Elents Multiple Clone Technique.
Without this ability, it would be fundantally impossible for him to divide into so many Lightning Nen Beasts.
Any clone is like a teleportation coordinate point for Riku. He can quickly go over and take control. Even without him, these Nen Beasts can act according to Riku's settings.
Auction venue rooftop.
The starry sky was resplendent, and the entire city was incredibly prosperous amidst the lights.
Riku, Kurapika, and the bald girl stood on the balcony.
The reason he chose this opportunity was that Riku also had his eye on the bald girl's traits.
The opponent had a very interesting trait.
Na: lody Traits: [Emission Talent] (Double Blue), [Hell's Ear] (Blue), [Music Hunter] (Blue), [Sonata of Darkness Cursed] (Grey), etc.
On lody's body... there was a Grey trait.
This was the first ti Riku had seen this trait; it was very peculiar.
But according to the information of this trait, there's a high probability this is a cursed trait. If it's copied over, will it curse him too?
"System, if I copy over a curse-type status trait, will I suffer the curse?"
Riku inquired internally.
[No, the system will filter out all negative traits for you. Please rest assured.]
Alright.
Can be consud with peace of mind.
"L... Lord... did you arrange for to be at the front door because you have so other arrangents?"
lody looked at Riku sowhat nervously.
Although she could hear Riku's heartbeat, she still felt imnse psychological pressure interacting with Riku.
"Are you cursed?"
Riku cut straight to the chase.
"Ah? Captain... it is indeed so... you can actually tell?"
lody was very surprised, and then she explained in detail why she had beco like this.
The reason was that long ago, she heard a flute piece from the Sonata of Darkness, played by a friend. That friend had died completely.
After listening to this piece, lody, originally a pretty young girl, directly turned into this ugly appearance.
As a return, she lost her healthy body but gained this peculiar Nen ability!
"Oh... put it this way, this piece of music seems to have the special effect of awakening people's abilities. However, the price paid is indeed sowhat steep."
Riku rubbed his chin, the opponent's explanation making his eyes brighten.
It seems there are still many unexplored territories for him in this Hunter world. Even if he had watched the relevant ani in his past life, he hadn't understood all the information.
"Use your greatest ability to try and attack ."
Riku spoke.
"Ah!?"
Hearing these words, lody was dumbfounded in place. But after repeatedly confirming that Riku was still making this request, she had no choice but to proceed as requested.
Then the battle ended very quickly.
[Ding! You defeated lody]
[Ding! 10% chance to automatically copy in progress...]
[Ding! Copy successful]
