Chapter 87

In the afternoon, inside a high-end room of the hotel operated and controlled by the Cabri family.

Alan stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the modern metropolis filled with opulence and extravagance, occasionally glancing at the hunting map he had just made.

On this map, the red dot marked as Kurolo Luciluf was rapidly approaching another red dot named Nyon Nostro.

After about a minute, he sighed with a smile, "You really are something! You found the key to the missing auction items so quickly. But this time, I won't let you easily take the Angel's Automatic Notebook."

"Angel's Automatic Notebook?"

Fei Jie, who was practicing the basics of Nen ability, subconsciously lifted her head, her face showing extreme surprise.

Because she knew that this was the ability of Nyon, the daughter of the Nostro family.

"That's right! This gangster's daughter, who has a hobby of collecting human body parts, is now being targeted by the leader of the Phantom Troupe, Kurolo. By the way, his ability can steal the usage rights of others' Nen." Alan turned around and explained with a meaningful look.

Since Fei Jie had already agreed to join the team this morning and signed an irrevocable contract with the Red Dragon, he no longer needed to hide certain things from her.

Moreover, he indeed needed the "180-point Love Slave" to help him gather and plunder more Nen abilities with potential.

After all, this system's ability was like a natural enemy to men, effectively reducing the difficulty of acquiring certain high-risk abilities.

As for why he didn't just take it directly...

Think about the conditions for activating the "180-point Love Slave."

Putting aside the issue of gender differences, from a woman's perspective, if the other person was a handsome guy, it might be easier, but what if it was someone who hadn't bathed for ten days, hadn't brushed their teeth for half a year, and was so ugly that just being near them would make you vomit?

It was probably only a woman like Fei Jie, who was not picky about anything, who could bring herself to do it.

In a sense, this was a "painful" price to pay, and it required extremely strong willpower and determination.

At least Alan didn't think he had the courage to use such an ability.

"Damn! We have to stop him! Nyon's ability is very special. She can predict events that will happen within the next month through a four-line poem. Especially situations related to death and disasters, which are clearly expressed in the poem. In other words, once the Phantom Troupe gets her ability, all your plans will be exposed instantly." Fei Jie became tense all of a sudden.

But Alan smiled and reassured her, "Relax, things aren't as bad as you think. And do you think I would have no countermeasures if I already knew about it?"

"Countermeasures? What do you mean..."

Fei Jie clearly realized something and immediately looked toward the next room.

If she remembered correctly, the taciturn martial artist had not been seen for several hours.

"Don't bother looking. Baudelot has already been sent by me to monitor the movements of the Nostro family's bodyguards. If that capricious young lady is attacked or tries to pull any tricks, he will knock her out and take her to a safe place. The Angel's Automatic Notebook must not fall into the hands of the Phantom Troupe, and I am more aware of this than you."

Alan glanced at the red dot next to Nyon on the hunting map with the corner of his eye.

It was clear that this dot represented the martial artist Baudelot.

With the power of the Eye of the Dead, he would know immediately whatever Kurolo and the Phantom Troupe did.

With this kind of comprehensive and seamless surveillance, even the top three-star hunters in the Association would not be able to cause any trouble, let alone Kurolo, who didn't even know who the real enemy was.

After all, in the battle between Nen users, the most crucial first step is information gathering, trying to understand the enemy's every move as much as possible.

As the usage of the hunting map and the Eye of the Dead increased, Alan became increasingly satisfied with the deal he had made with Luna, even thinking it was the most profitable deal he had ever made.

As long as he could always maintain a significant advantage in aura, tracking anyone's movements would be easy.

"So—did you predict the Phantom Troupe's actions before they acted? Do you have some kind of precognition ability?" Fei Jie widened her eyes and probed.

Because apart from having a precognition ability, she could not explain why all of Alan's actions were always perfectly preemptive.

This was not just a matter of intelligence, logic, or analysis; it was a completely unreasonable ability to predict the enemy's moves.

"Ha ha, instead of worrying about this, you should hurry up and complete today's training task, then lie down and rest for a while. Because tonight, I will be using your ability, and not just once."

Alan did not directly answer the question and chose to change the subject.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of Yorknew, Miss Nyon was throwing a tantrum.

Just a few minutes ago, she had learned from her father that the annual auction had been canceled due to a thief, and several bodyguards had been killed at the venue.

Of course, compared to the deaths of a few bodyguards, she was more concerned about the precious mummy she wanted most.

With the intention of severely punishing her father for breaking his promise, Nyon secretly slipped away from her bodyguards and maids, changed into inconspicuous clothes, and sneaked out.

Her idea was simple: since her father was lying, she would go to the auction herself.

"Hmph! No one can stop me from getting what I want! Most importantly, I am free now and can go wherever I want to play."

The girl muttered to herself, standing on the street and looking around, searching for interesting or fun places.

She was completely unaware of how dangerous her current situation was.

Suddenly, a handsome young man in a suit walked toward her.

Immediately behind him, a very strong and stern man appeared out of nowhere.

The two men stood a few meters apart, staring into each other's eyes, inadvertently emitting a powerful and astonishing aura.

The other pedestrians around them were frightened and scattered, not daring to stay for even a second.

It was clear that the former was Kurolo, the leader of the Phantom Troupe, who had come to steal the Nen ability, and the latter was the martial artist Baudelot.

"Who are you?" Kurolo asked first, probing.

He clearly did not expect his seemingly sure plan to encounter such a big problem.

"I am responsible for Miss Nyon's safety. Please step back and turn around, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Baudelot directly followed Alan's instructions and disguised himself as a bodyguard hired by the Nostro family.

"A gangster's bodyguard?"

Kurolo's face immediately showed a puzzled expression, and he quickly thought about whether he should take the risk of fighting and forcibly abduct the girl who seemed to have a precognition ability, or retreat and summon other members to act together.

But before he could make a decision, Baudelot took advantage of the brief opportunity, flashed to Nyon's side, and with a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye, lightly tapped the back of the girl's head, picked her up, and leaped toward the direction of the gang's headquarters.
