Chapter 85

While Chrollo and Kurapika were exchanging information at the abandoned amusement park, Allen had already rejoined Bodoro. He stretched lazily under the bright moonlight, his face filled with satisfaction as he exclaimed, "What a tense and fulfilling night! As a warm-up before the official hunt begins, this was more than enough."

"Do you call this a warm-up?"

Feijie's lips twitched involuntarily.

As one of the only two people who had watched all the battle scenes from start to finish, she could hardly believe that this handsome boy, who looked around fifteen, possessed such terrifying cunning and strength. Not only did he uproot the entire Beast Troop in one go, but he also directly killed a monstrous opponent in front of so many Phantom Troupe members and escaped unscathed.

More terrifyingly, neither the Phantom Troupe nor the Ten Elders knew the truth. Instead, they believed that the other side was deliberately provoking a full-scale war, leaving them with no choice but to fight back.

Monster?

Devil?

Or a terrifying madman?

Feijie had no idea what words to use to describe her feelings about Allen. She even felt a strong sense of fear and awe from the bottom of her heart.

Fortunately!

So far, she had not sensed any malice, so as long as she could get through these few days, everything should be fine.

"If I'm not mistaken, your ability is the 180-point Love Slave, which makes men obey your will through a kiss, right?" Allen suddenly squatted down and asked without any warning.

"Ah! Y-Yes."

Due to her extreme nervousness, she even overlooked why he knew about her ability and the conditions for activating it.

"Hmm—sounds interesting. If you kiss a man with a powerful Nen ability that has a wide range, can you ensure that he releases his ability without harming anyone around him?" Allen asked with interest.

Clearly, he was referring to Feitan's "Scorching Sun" and the accompanying fireproof suit.

"I... I think so. Any man who falls under the 180-point Love Slave cannot refuse any of my requests," Feijie said, her voice lacking confidence.

She couldn't be confident!

Everything she had seen tonight, from the vicious Phantom Troupe members to the later-arriving Beast Troop, and especially this seemingly harmless but actually most dangerous boy, had repeatedly shattered her confidence, trampled it underfoot, and turned it into dust that was scattered by the wind.

"Is that so? What a convenient ability, though the activation conditions are a bit strict. Are you interested in joining my team?" Allen extended his right hand and invited her.

"Join your team?" Feijie was stunned on the spot.

She really couldn't keep up with this kind of sudden 90-degree turn in logic.

Allen smiled and nodded. "Yes! Your ability is exactly what I need. In return, I can teach you how to systematically train your Nen ability and provide you with many methods to quickly become stronger. Additionally, all the team's income will be evenly divided into three parts, with each person getting one share."

"Are you serious?" Feijie was clearly tempted.

No one would refuse having a powerful team behind them and teammates who could support and protect them at any time, and she was no exception.

"Of course! I'm always serious. You don't have to make a decision right now. Take your time to think about it and give me your answer before the full-scale battle with the Phantom Troupe tomorrow night."

With that, Allen stood up and signaled to Bodoro, who immediately drove the hidden SUV out of the woods.

The three of them and the wolf directly returned to Yorknew City.

This time, however, they didn't go to the small inn but headed straight to the hotel controlled by the Kaburagi family.

Marcus, who had been awake all night, immediately received them in the top-floor room without a word.

As soon as he saw them, he stared with bloodshot eyes and said excitedly, "Unbelievable! Your predictions all came true! The Phantom Troupe indeed attacked the auction site and killed the entire Beast Troop! Now the Ten Elders are recruiting killers and bounty hunters, vowing to make the other side pay. They even invited the Zoldyck family!"

"Calm down, this is just the beginning. The real show will start tomorrow. Remember, don't send anyone to investigate or pursue the Phantom Troupe members, and don't participate in the security work outside the auction. It will only lead to death. When the Ten Elders die tomorrow, I'll send you a message, and then you can start your actions."

As he spoke, Allen picked up a glass of champagne from the table and took a big sip.

It had to be said that Marcus was completely unashamed of his desire for the highest power in the criminal alliance.

As soon as he heard that the Phantom Troupe would engage in a full-scale war with the Ten Elders, he immediately opened a bottle of champagne and secretly celebrated.

"Ha-ha-ha! Got it! I'll follow your lead! Here's to a better tomorrow! Cheers!" Marcus raised a glass of champagne excitedly.

"To friendship! Cheers!"

With the clinking of glasses, the two of them immediately drained their glasses.

After finishing the champagne, Marcus couldn't wait to ask, "What else do you need me to do?"

"Simple! The Ten Elders are recruiting killers and bounty hunters, right? Arrange for us three to join, but we must use fake names and identities. You know how to handle it, right?" Allen straightforwardly made his request.

With the entire Beast Troop wiped out, the criminal alliance had no value to him anymore. Joining as allies would be more convenient for his actions.

"No problem, give me a little time. If you don't mind, you can stay here. I'll arrange three special rooms for you that don't require registration, ensuring no one can trace you," Marcus agreed without hesitation.

For a criminal boss of his level, such a small matter was never a problem.

Besides, fake identities weren't meant to last forever; they just needed to fool the Ten Elders for a day or two.

"Then I'll leave this to you. Also, closely monitor the criminal alliance's movements and notify me immediately if there's any news."

Thanks to his meticulous preparation and planning, Allen had already planted important informants within both the Phantom Troupe and the criminal alliance, keeping a close eye on their every move.

If it weren't for maintaining his image, he would have shouted, "How can I lose with a dragon riding my face?"

The last remaining issue was how to prevent Kuroko from approaching Nyon and thus cut off his possibility of obtaining the "Angel's Automatic Notebook."

After all, this was a special ability that could accurately predict the future!

If the prediction showed danger or death, it could be avoided through certain methods, essentially like getting the script in advance and cheating.

Although Allen himself wasn't particularly interested in this ability and even had a slight aversion to it, that didn't stop him from preventing his enemies from obtaining it.

Otherwise, if Kuroko got a prediction about himself, his intelligence would immediately make him realize that Yorknew was a dead end, and he would abandon his original plan and flee with the Phantom Troupe.

At that point, Allen would have to use the most time-consuming and labor-intensive method to hunt down these guys one by one with the Hunter Map.
