Kurapika cald his emotions. "Alright, I'm glad to hear everyone's improving."
"Hehe, we're doing great, Kurapika. When will you co back?" Pairo grabbed the phone again.
"Soon. I'm fine. Everything's going well."
The other end went quiet for a while. Kurapika lowered his head, and the chains in his hand moved lightly around his fingers.
"Kurapika… don't carry everything alone…"
"Don't worry, Pairo. I'm calm…"
But the chains in his hand floated up. He didn't look calm at all, and his eyes kept switching between black and red.
Through his thoughts, Saiki Kusuo saw the scenes Kurapika went through again. To him, the Spiders were like giant invaders, bringing deep fear, destroying everything, not caring about the lives they ruined. The only reason they let anyone live was because the "boss" wanted to see a pair of living eyes.
How terrifying—these people who do whatever they want.
How selfish—evil people who no one can punish.
But then Kurapika's chains loosened again. He thought of his clan, the many smiling faces that appeared in his mind.
Those things he lost forever couldn't be brought back from the fire. After they buried those who died unexpectedly, the survivors took whatever belongings they had left and crossed mountains and rivers to find a new ho. It wasn't an easy road. They faced endless hardships—staying away from people, losing stable food, hiding from everyone, and living deep in the mountains and forests.
Luckily, the elders who could fight beasts were there. When their eyes turned scarlet, their strength would greatly increase, keeping the clan safe.
That reminded Kurapika of those invaders. They were like weapons that nothing could stop. For many years after, Kurapika kept searching for this kind of strength, and finally, by chance, during the Hunter Exam journey, he learned about Nen.
Every Kurta could safely awaken Nen in their scarlet-eye state.
In the six months since the Hunter Exam ended and they settled near Yorknew City, after Kurapika learned Nen, the first thing he did was go back to the clan and teach this power to the radicals who wanted to protect the village from the outside. Deep in the forest, there were kids and elders, and the peaceful conservatives who didn't want to learn Nen.
If people outside died, people would have already hidden to avoid invaders.
Only in this way can we avoid losing the most important people without warning, like back then...
"Kurapika, Kurapika! Let co too? My Nen is already very good." Pairo said on the other end of the phone.
"No way!" Kurapika finally ca back to his senses and blurted out his refusal.
"Pairo, the Phantom Troupe is not as simple as you think..."
Saiki Kusuo: It doesn't seem as simple as you think either.
Geez, any reader who traveled through ti would suggest that you kill Uvogin to stop future trouble, or kill him and run away without looking back.
"I've heard of the existence of Nen after death, plus us... I, don't want to kill people, so I chose to use a two-way restriction, so that if the other party dies, I won't bear the Nen after death. Pairo, my restriction conditions are so strict, but it's still extrely difficult to deal with the Spiders. I'm afraid I can't attack too many people, there will only be one or two tis, and then I'll stop and go back."
[So, it's best to catch their leader and use the chain to issue restrictions!] Kurapika thought.
Is the target still Chrollo? It's rging with the story again.
But this ti, even without Gon and Killua as hostages, Kurapika didn't plan to kill anyone. Saiki Kusuo understood a key point after thinking outside the limits of the comic.
The current Kurapika has countless hopes supporting him in the face of the death of his people.
And among the dead people, there were his loved ones, so he is here for revenge. This revenge probably also has a large part of justice driving it, so he only wants the Troupe to disappear.
He is still a positive kid who wants to beco a Hunter, how could he set the Phantom Troupe as a lifelong goal.
Now, once he completes the mission of disbanding the Phantom Troupe, he can rush to a wider world.
I see.
Saiki Kusuo then knew from his mind-reading that Kurapika was still going to et Hisoka, but he didn't plan to follow. Kurapika will no longer kill Troupe mbers. There is nothing to help the Troupe with anymore.
He left much more relaxed, without using teleportation again. Just then, lody and Neon and others walked past, and Saiki Kusuo heard that they were going to a large shopping mall, and also heard Neon's little thoughts.
As expected, Neon should escape from the mall on her own next, and then be t by Chrollo, who would trick her out of her ability.
In the story, Chrollo confird Uvogin's death from Neon's prediction ability, and held a killing morial service for Uvogin, carrying out indiscriminate mass slaughter near the auction.
Saiki Kusuo walked on the street, thinking. The night in Yorknew City was turbulent. Many people around him were concerned about the auction, and they were all people sent by the heads of so gangs.
Here, the concentration of gangs is very high.
Saiki Kusuo did not take the responsibility for the potential massacre that might happen soon upon himself.
There are still three hours before Uvogin is revived. If Uvogin decides to appear at that ti, the Troupe may stop, then things will return to the natural developnt when he didn't affect it; if Uvogin doesn't appear, the Troupe may massacre, which is also the original story in the comic.
Just like a teorite is destined to fall sowhere in the world and bring disaster, these are other people's destined situations. Saiki Kusuo will only take action if it affects himself and the people around him.
Of course, Saiki Kusuo also needs to intervene, a little bit of intervention.
The petrification of Uvogin was caused by him, at least to ensure that Uvogin's morial service would start after Uvogin's revival.
Uvogin will be revived in three hours. Neon can escape from the mall and run out alone in at most one hour. Ask, can Chrollo get... take Neon's ability in two hours?
Is there even a need to ask? His ability setting is that all conditions happen within one hour! He is the number one when it cos to tricking people!
He needs to delay a little ti.
Saiki Kusuo turned his feet and walked into the large shopping mall, paying attention to Neon's location from his mind-reading, and followed her to the clothing area on the fifth floor.
Now that I'm here, let's change clothes.
Although as a child of the Zoldyck family, he has a closet full of clothes. His mother, who loves to dress up her children, prepared a lot of clothes and stuffed them in the children's closet, so that he had never picked them himself since coming to this Hunter world. Killua and Gon have clothes to change every day.
Saiki Kusuo also wants so ordinary, common clothes, not those brand nas or custom-made clothes prepared by the Zoldyck family.
"Welco, young man, this way please!" [This suit is XLS's custom-made suit!] The salespersons in the store are all sharp-eyed, and noticed the uniqueness of the suit Saiki Kusuo was wearing when he entered the store.
This store is a more affordable store, but it also has high-end clothes. The salesperson imdiately wanted to take Saiki Kusuo to the high-end area.
[No, let be here.]

"Okay, okay, are you buying it for a friend?" [Could he be a poor guy who spent a lot of money buying a good suit? I thought a big custor was coming, he could be just a showoff. I can use flattery to get him to buy a few more pieces!]
[No, I'm wearing it myself, let look around by myself.]
"Here, I can recomnd a few of the latest styles of the season. They are also the most popular. My nephew is eighteen this year, and he is about the sa height as you. After wearing them, he was..." [Buy! Buy it for ! Buy seventy to eighty pieces! Buy all the new styles!]
How could I buy so many? Am I here to stock up?
Saiki Kusuo knew the appearance of that so-called nephew from the salesperson's mind-reading: big front teeth, fat, and judging from his appearance, he was at least twenty-five years old, but the clothes did fit him well.
It seems like I can buy a few sets for Milluki, but I don't want it to count towards this salesperson's sales.
[No, let look around myself.]
Saiki Kusuo quickened his pace and turned around several tis between the clothing display cabinets. There were still quite a few people here, and the salesperson quickly lost track of him and gave up.
Only then did Saiki Kusuo slow down and pick out a few ordinary clothes and pants, and also took a hat. He paid attention to Neon, who had just walked into the shop across the street on the sa floor. There was a reason for choosing this shop. Neon would only pick the most expensive shops to shop in, so they wouldn't run into each other.
Let's change clothes.
Storing a suit is a delicate job. Saiki Kusuo ca to the fitting room, thinking about whether to use equivalent exchange to exchange it back ho to Gotoh after wearing it, but he didn't know the corresponding value.
And if he folds the clothes, the clothes will probably be ruined.
A helpful clerk imdiately ca forward and helped him take the suit jacket.
"Sir, would you like us to help you sort and store the suit jacket?"
[Please.]
...
On the sa floor, Chrollo had already targeted Neon, who had gone into the clothing store. He was fixing his outfit, and seeing Neon's lively personality, he decided to change his tie to increase his friendliness.
He randomly chose a shop and fixed his outfit in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror outside the fitting room. Suddenly, he glimpsed a suit with the XLS brand in a bag on the side.
This brand happened to be a high-end brand commonly used by the upper class of Yorknew City, which could obviously increase his credibility more than what he was wearing now.
Saiki Kusuo changed his clothes and walked out of the fitting room in a young and casual outfit. The hat covered his conspicuous pink hair, and everything made him feel comfortable.
Ordinary is really good.
He looked for the clerk who had just helped him sort the suit, intending to hand over the suit pants to her as well.
"Huh? Hasn't it already been taken away by a friend?"
[Huh?]
Saiki Kusuo imdiately saw the scene just now from the clerk's mind-reading.
["Is my friend's suit here? The XLS one. He asked to co get it. Ah, this is it. We were originally planning to attend the auction, but he seems to have heard that it's not being held. Please pay for this tie. Well then, I'm leaving."]
Hey, how can you let him take it away? Who is he!
Saiki Kusuo's face darkened. Of course he knew who that person was. That thief really steals smoothly. He even paid for the tie, this must be intentional.
The clerk in front of him was panicking. Saiki Kusuo sighed, and since he knew who did it, he wouldn't make the little clerk compensate.
Geez.
Since Chrollo has already appeared, is the story about to begin?
As for the next ti-delaying plan, I can't guarantee what unexpected situations will happen, after all, my superpowers aren't very stable right now. Saiki Kusuo thought with a dark face.
"Sir... > < I, I can compensate a part... I will definitely pay it back!" [He looks very angry! So scary, is he a mber of the gang? Am I going to be killed...!]
...Geez, I accidentally leaked so killing intent. I still need to control myself more, it wouldn't be good if I accidentally killed Chrollo.
Saiki Kusuo cald down and paid with his card to leave.
The eighteen-year-old Saiki Kusuo has grown a little taller, and his current height is 173 cm. Chrollo's height is not high, only 177 cm. The clothes are only slightly tighter on him, but still fit perfectly.
Chrollo threw his original suit into the trash can and put on the new clothes. He was thinking about how to approach Neon when he suddenly noticed that Neon was taking wigs and costics while shopping, and that small eyes also had other purposes.
Chrollo observed from afar, while Saiki Kusuo was eating a chocolate ice cream mountain on the upper floor, using his X-ray vision to observe downwards.
Neon quietly escaped, going straight to the lower floor. She walked to the mall's map and searched, tapping up and down with her fingers.
[I'll leave from the outdoor platform on the second floor.] Neon thought.
Saiki Kusuo calmly packed a drink, while Chrollo, looking at the location Neon pointed to on the map from afar, had already figured out the plan.
[It's best to bump into her before she leaves the outer door on the 2nd floor, starting with an accidental encounter.] Chrollo's plan.
Just like the scenes in many school ani, Chrollo looked down at his phone and moved forward, while Neon only had that door in her eyes. Chrollo even used In to make Neon unable to detect his existence.
The two were getting closer and closer. Chrollo's eyes were fixed on his phone, his attention focused on the prey, and he naturally overlooked sothing.
He overlooked such an object, after all, there were no humans existing in the small circle around him.
In the distance, a person eating a banana suddenly fell. Half of the banana and the banana peel flew out, slipping greatly on the shiny floor of the shopping mall, drawing a beautiful and accurate trajectory, and stopping at Chrollo's feet!
Chrollo slipped.
Neon continued forward. Chrollo, who was originally going to bump into Neon, suddenly slipped and fell towards the huge bouquet of flowers that served as decoration!
Too embarrassing for a Nen user to fall into a bouquet of flowers!
Chrollo adjusted his posture in ti with his rich combat experience. He only slipped and didn't fall, kneeled to lower his center of gravity, and subconsciously grabbed onto sothing.
A few flowers were pulled out by him because of this, just a bunch of bright red ones.
Chrollo finally knelt on one knee next to Neon following his movents, and also reached out to stop Neon with a bunch of bright red flowers as if he was showing love.
Neon looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise, while Chrollo smiled.
The awkwardness was self-evident.
