"Let's stop here..."
"The purpose of today's gathering is not to discuss the cause of Omokage's death. Why don't we talk about the Leader's purpose for gathering all of us? Wouldn't that be more interesting?"
The speaker was a pale, effeminate man with long black hair reaching the ground, who was currently walking out of the shadows.
"Still appearing like a ghost, Kirori."
Phinks looked at the newcomer and couldn't help but complain: "If you hadn't spoken, I would have almost forgotten you were here..."
The effeminate man called "Kirori" raised his hand to brush back his thick, smooth black hair, revealing a spider tattoo with the number "8" on his neck, and sneered:
"Hehe, of course I'm here."
"After all, without my ability, stealing things... would be quite troublesome for you guys, right?"
Hearing this, Phinks didn't speak, but his expression clearly agreed with the other party's words.
If one were to ask who was the most important to the Troupe among the members present...
Aside from Kortopi who could copy items, and Pakunoda who could read targets' memories through touch, the remaining one would be Kirori, who could easily open any vault.
The abilities of these three, whether in terms of practicality or strategy, could be said to be indispensable for the future development of the entire Troupe.
Snap!
Chrollo suddenly closed the book in his hand, looked up at the shadow in the corner, and whispered:
"Everyone is here."
Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of the Leader's gaze.
Soon, they saw a man with red hair standing up wildly, with teardrop and star patterns painted on his face, walking out from there.
"Yo~"
Hisoka greeted everyone with a smile, standing with one hand on his hip: "Your expressions are so terrible, the atmosphere is not good..."
"You are the new guy, Hisoka, right!" Phinks said coldly.
"That's right." Hisoka smiled, "I am the new member #4 who replaced Omokage. Please take care of me from now on."
Hisoka's indifferent attitude and tone made Feitan, Phinks, and the others instantly feel disgusted with this guy with a unique temperament.
Plus, Hisoka was so late, wasting everyone's time. They subconsciously wanted to give this new member a warning, and verify if his strength was really qualified to join the Troupe.
"Stop it." Shalnark stopped them, then smiled and asked about the Leader's thoughts and plans.
Facing the expectations of the members, Chrollo finally stood up and said:
"The target is the treasures in the Kakin Empire's collection."
"What treasures?"
Everyone was curious and speculated for a while.
"No specific target."
Chrollo said confidently: "Whatever we want, we take it."
"Even if the opponent is that Kakin Empire?" Shalnark asked with a smile.
"Of course!"
Chrollo ordered: "No matter who blocks our way, just kill all the obstructions!"
"Is anyone among you afraid?"
Hearing this, no one present showed fear. Uvogin was so excited that his body trembled slightly, and then he raised his arms and cheered.
In the corner, Hisoka kept staring at Chrollo in the center, his emotions running high, unconsciously running the tip of his tongue over his lips.
Machi was the only one who noticed this strange expression.
...
Meanwhile.
Yuu and his group also arrived at the booked hotel.
As agreed before, Light had arranged for his daughter and the Nen users to stay in the most luxurious hotel in the Kakin Empire.
However, only the rooms booked by Neon and Yuu were on the floor most suitable for viewing the city scenery.
Check-in was simple.
Everyone took their room keys and walked towards the elevator.
However, Yuu suddenly noticed a man radiating a disgusting aura from head to toe walking towards him from the front.
The other party was not a Nen user.
Logically speaking, he generally wouldn't attract his attention immediately.
But that feeling... was nauseating.
Soon, Yuu recognized who the visitor was.
The Fourth Prince of the Kakin Empire—Tserriednich Hui Guo Rou.
In terms of sheer perversion alone, he was a character Hisoka would have to make way for. He could undoubtedly be called—"the most vile man."
He often relied on his status and position to pick up women who wanted to reach the sky in a single bound, then cruelly peel off their skin or turn them into other human body products.
The moment he confirmed his identity, Yuu also suddenly understood the other party's intention to approach, not for himself but for the young Neon beside him.
"This guy... hides it really well."
Yuu sighed silently, then closed his eyes, raised his hand to land on Neon's shoulder, and pulled her back.
"Huh?"
Neon made a confused sound and stopped.
Then she saw Yuu take a few steps forward, deliberately blocking her with his body.
The next moment, a man with ear-length blonde hair and wearing traditional Kakin clothing came forward and struck up a conversation:
"Hello, are you guests of the hotel?"
"I am the Fourth Prince of the Kakin Empire, Tserriednich. I am also the owner of this entire building.
If I may, please allow me to invite this lovely young lady to visit my room on the top floor...
There are many of my collections there, maybe she will like them."
Tserriednich behaved politely, followed by a few bodyguards, looking quite normal.
"Sorry." Yuu said lightly,
"If you insist on inviting her upstairs, then I must accompany her. In that case... it might cause unnecessary trouble."
Tserriednich smiled and asked: "Excuse me, you are...?"
"We are the Nostrade Family's security team. The commission we accepted this time is to ensure Miss Neon's safety." Valtz stepped forward and said.
"This is Mr. Yuu, the famous White-Haired Hunter. As he said, if you insist on inviting Miss Neon upstairs, then we must accompany her, at least to keep her within our line of sight..."
At this time, Kurito and the others also stepped forward to reveal their identities, making Yuu rarely feel that they were useful.
Judging from their expressions, they obviously didn't know the true face hidden behind this seemingly polite Fourth Prince.
But through the explanation just now, it dispelled the Fourth Prince's next move and he stopped blocking everyone.
Although he didn't know the so-called Nostrade Family, the attitudes of the few people in the security team in front of him were quite firm. Being blindly proactive would expose his flaws.
For now, Tserriednich didn't want to reveal his true colors in front of outsiders.
Yuu took Neon and walked through the path cleared by the Fourth Prince. Until they entered the elevator, the Fourth Prince still watched them leave with a smile.
And apart from that lovely blue-haired lady, Tserriednich paid special attention to the white-haired guy just now.
Tserriednich recalled the other party's actions earlier... suddenly realizing that this white-haired guy seemed to have seen through the thoughts hidden in his heart.
If he hadn't taken the lead in stating his attitude, the subsequent security team members might not have been so tough.
According to Tserriednich's original plan, he would have had a nice collection piece tonight.
Now, because of Yuu's actions, he missed it in vain.
However, through the chat just now, he also knew that they came here to attend the subsequent exhibition. Thinking that they would meet sooner or later...
He didn't stay any longer.
