Even the notorious mafia bosses of the underworld, the Ten Mafia Dons, and their numerous subordinates were mostly ordinary people.
In front of Nen users, they simply weren't enough to be taken seriously.
"If we want to find the Kute Gang of Thieves, we'll have to check several black markets and casinos."
Shalnark was thinking through things in his head: "They operate as a group."
"As long as we can identify one of their members and have Feitan interrogate them, or send Pakunoda to extract their memories, we will quickly find the rest of their companions. Then we can... hmm?"
Shalnark had been sketching out specific actions in his mind when Luke handed him the hunter's license.
"With this hunter license, you can look up lots of detailed information on the official hunter website."
Luke said casually. "Hotels across Ambrossa city, black market, plus casinos, it's all listed there."
"And some basic info on Kute Gang of Thieves' personnel, and if any of them make an appearance, the Hunter Association should be able to update the website in real time..."
Luke looked at Shalnark. "I think this information should be enough for you to analyze and figure out their location, right?"
"Ah, maybe not specifics, but..."
Shalnark replied happily. "I can at least roughly delimit the area where they operate."
"A hunter license... I didn't expect you, Captain, would actually get one."
Shalnark flipped the license over casually and clicked his tongue in admiration. "Seems it's really useful."
"So there's even a dedicated hunter website connected to the internet?"
"Its uses are even wider and more valuable. When I have time, I'll get ten more to use."
He laughed, but for now, the current job came first.
After getting the hunter's license, Shalnark immediately threw himself into work.
Even in this abandoned, segregated slum, he could find a computer.
With the time he had spent becoming familiar with the outside world and learning, Shalnark quickly became adept at operating these high-tech machines.
"According to the official hunter website... I have to praise it first, it's indeed a very practical and excellent website!!"
Shalnark exclaimed in admiration: "The person who came up with this website must be a genius!"
Achoo!
In the network world, Ickshonpe seemed to sneeze in the void. However, he didn't pay attention to it and continued to maintain the hunter's website.
Well, long after the Hunter Chat Site went online, the Hunter Association approached Ickshonpe, using it as inspiration to create a website specifically for professional hunters.
On that website, one could obtain information and exchange intelligence, essentially a chat and leisure space based on the Hunter Chat Site.
A more official website for professional hunters.
This wasn't difficult for Ickshonpe, but...
"Damn client!!"
Even without speaking, Ickshonpe's resentment was palpable.
Creating a website was no problem for him.
However, the client's strange requirements regarding website functionality, page design, programming, etc.
That's what made Ickshonpe grumble incessantly.
Fortunately, the initial hunter website was running quite well.
Shalnark easily found the information he wanted on this website.
"It turns out someone really did discover traces of several members of the Kute Gang of Thieves here. The information recorded on the hunter website is quite detailed, even including the specific time and location of their appearances."
"Even basic intelligence analysis is included..."
Shalnark summarized the analytical methods of those professional hunters: "For example, members of the Kute Gang of Thieves can be found in an underground casino on a certain street, and at a street corner in another location."
"Then, scale these maps proportionally and define the areas around these two locations."
"And then look at the specific times when the members of Kute Gang of Thieves were active between these two locations..."
"This way, we can roughly deduce their specific area of activity..."
These were all valuable pieces of knowledge, and Shalnark was studying them diligently.
Moreover, he suddenly discovered that on this website, no, even within this entire internet, he could learn so many more interesting, practical, powerful, and professional things and knowledge.
"Especially in places where professional hunters hang out..."
Shalnark pondered: "After all, those who can pass the Hunter Exam and obtain a hunter's license are all excellent and powerful individuals."
"If they were to share their knowledge and experience..."
A determined glint flashed in Shalnark's eyes.
It seemed that obtaining a hunter's license was indeed a must.
Compared to the privileges that a hunter's license brought, Shalnark felt that the convenience and knowledge gained were the most valuable!
Having noted this down, Shalnark also outlined the specific locations and areas of activity for the Kute Gang of Thieves.
"At the moment, all their activity revolves around the United Trade Tower, which is under the control of one of the Ten Dons."
"It should be said that the area around that United Trade Tower is home to the largest underground trading venue."
At this point, Shalnark chuckled, "It seems this person has a strong desire for control."
"Whether it's legitimate business on the surface or underground transactions, everything is conducted under his watchful eye."
"However, this does indeed ensure the safety of criminals who come here to trade."
"There's a reason why this city attracts so many vicious criminals. It's even more blatant and naked than Yorknew City..."
"Alright, enough talk!"
Uvogin, already impatient, interrupted him directly: "Where exactly are we going to find them?!"
"The exact location is still unknown."
Shalnark wasn't angry at Uvogin's abrupt interruption; he just shook his head: "They're an S-level criminal, after all; they certainly won't expose their hideout so easily."
"However…"
Before Uvogin could ask again in impatience, he already looked at Luke.
"There's another method to force them out."
"Another method?"
Uvogin and Phinks were still racking their brains, while Feitan and Machi had a sudden inspiration.
One narrowed his eyes slightly, while the other began to coil the barely visible thread in her hand.
"Hmm, there is indeed a very time-saving and labor-saving method."
Luke, seeing the look in Shalnark's eyes, understood his thoughts perfectly and nodded with a smile: "Since the Kute Gang of Thieves has shown up in those underground trading places and casinos, then just go to those places and search."
"Besides, casinos and trading places must have corresponding surveillance tools."
"As top-tier S-class criminals in the world, those trading places and underground casinos must have information about them..."
Yes, don't underestimate the intelligence and mobilization power of mafias.
In the Yorknew City arc, even the Phantom Troupe was still found by these guys.
Although Uvogin and others didn't bother to hide, the point was that in this place, the Kute Gang of Thieves had the same attitude.
"So..."
