Compared to the previous Class C and Class B criminals, Class A criminals are generally stronger. They are at least second-rate in terms of seniority, and their whereabouts are also more difficult to trace.
It can be said that the current progress has been achieved very quickly, due to the huge bounty issued by the ten old men.
"It's already mid-August now. The Phantom Troupe is a completely A-level criminal gang. If they really show up at the auction in Yorknew City, we can definitely eliminate them once and for all," Steve sighed as he spoke.
Mia also lowered her eyes and said, "During the auction in Yorknew City, the ten old men will also gather, and we can deal with them at that time."
"Yes, it's time to deal with them, otherwise they might think we can't do anything to them!" John touched the Beast's little head with a faint smile on his face.
[Guilty Busters III] and [End of Phantom Troupe] have some overlap.
Now there are only five places left to complete [Crime Busters III]. As Steve said, as long as the Phantom Troupe really appears at the Yorknew City Auction on September 1st, as in the original plot, then you can complete the achievement [Criminal Busters III] by hunting down the Phantom Troupe members.
Similarly, the continuous annoying attacks have been accumulating John and the others' murderous intent towards the ten old men.
Now that the auction in Yorknew City is approaching, it is naturally time for a reckoning.
Yorknew is a prosperous yet decadent city.
Various rare treasures often appear here, attracting a large number of tourists.
At the same time, many underworld gangs are hidden here.
Especially when the annual underground auction takes place, top gangsters from all over the world come here specifically.
Participating in the underground auction is secondary. The key is that the ten old men, who are the emperors of the underworld, will also appear at that time. This will be a feast for all gangsters.
In front of an abandoned warehouse in a corner of the city, a figure wearing a black suit and a ring and chain on his right hand walked in, then opened the large rusty iron door and entered the abandoned warehouse.
The warehouse has been filled with dust since it has been vacant for a long time. Not only are spider webs and scurrying mice everywhere in the corners, but there are also several holes in the roof, allowing a few beams of sunlight to shine through.
Coincidentally, the man in a suit who walked into the warehouse was hit by a beam of sunlight on his face, allowing people to see clearly that it was Kurapika.
Although the warehouse was a bit dark, Kurapika quickly saw the person he wanted to meet.
"You came quite quickly. I just finished smoking a cigarette."
John flicked the cigarette butt that burned to the end of his fingertips. In the center of the warehouse, sitting on a silver throne, John saw Kurapika appear and stood up with a smile.
Beside him, Steve and Mia, who was holding the Beast, also stood up one after another, and they saw the silver throne created by John and the others turn into countless threads and disappear into the void.
"The Nosla family's residence is located nearby, and I drove here, so it didn't take long."
Kurapika glanced at the silver throne that disappeared behind John and the others, and his eyes quickly focused on John's face again.
If it were during the Hunter's exam, the strange sight of the silver throne turning into threads and disappearing would naturally arouse his surprise.
But it's different now. After all, he has successfully entered the world of Nen and knows that this world has all kinds of strange powers.
"Is that so? I really wasn't aware. It seems pretty convenient," John smiled.
"Let's stop with the small talk. I have replaced Neon's prophetic poem about the ten old men according to your request. Now, can you tell me the news about the Phantom Troupe?" Kurapika said seriously.
