In a spacious meeting room on the upper floor of a mafia building, the two top assassins of the Zoldyck family had cornered the leader of the Phantom Troupe, Kurogure, and a fierce battle had ensued.
In particular, Nenro, the old man, relied on his Nen ability, Dragon Head - Fang Thrust, to continuously restrict Kurogure's space for evasion and movement, creating opportunities for his son to deliver a fatal blow.
Shiba was no less aggressive, constantly trying to find the right moment to strike through rapid movements.
Clearly, for Kurogure, this battle had no chance of victory from the start. Even if he managed to critically injure or kill one of them through the various bizarre Nen abilities in "Thief's Ultimate Skill," the remaining one would easily seize the opportunity to finish him off.
Therefore, Kurogure had no intention of winning the battle; he was merely trying to buy time.
As long as Illumi dealt with the Ten Elders, the two Zoldyck family members would naturally stop their pursuit of the Phantom Troupe.
Unfortunately, Kurogure clearly underestimated Nenro's professional ethics and his competitive spirit.
The old man敏锐地抓住了一个破绽,迅速冲到近前,高速挥舞双拳,同时一只脚死死踩住Kurogure的膝盖,使其无法移动或躲避。
"Act now! Move!" Nenro shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Got it!"
Shiba quickly formed two large Nen spheres in his hands and slammed them down.
Boom!
A loud explosion followed, and the reinforced concrete was shattered, filling the room with smoke and dust.
Just as Shiba was about to check the target's condition, his phone rang.
Without hesitation, he pressed the answer button: "Hello! Is that Illumi?"
"What about my client?" Illumi asked in a tone devoid of emotion.
"He's here!" Shiba replied without thinking.
As they were talking, Nenro and Kurogure emerged from under the collapsed wall.
From their disheveled appearances, it was clear they had both sustained injuries, but none were life-threatening.
Illumi, obviously hearing the commotion through the phone, immediately realized what was happening: "Ah! You're in a battle! Is my client still alive?"
"Yes, he's still alive. If you had called a bit later, it might have been a different story," Shiba said with a hint of regret in his voice.
"Almost dead? That's a close call! Tell him I've taken care of the Ten Elders. Remember to transfer the payment to my account. That's it!"
Just as Illumi was about to hang up, the tightly closed door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and Allen entered with Bode, Feitan, and Roubus.
He first glanced at the walls damaged by the fight, then directly said to Shiba, "If you don't mind, could I borrow your phone? I need to ask Illumi for a small favor."
"No problem! Here you go!"
Shiba handed over the phone without a second thought.
Allen caught it and immediately put it to his ear, saying, "Illumi, you've already taken care of all the Ten Elders, right?"
"Yes! They're all dead now. What do you want me to do with them?"
Illumi clearly knew something or had guessed something.
"Could you manipulate them to transfer 30 billion Jenny to my account? I've already killed ten members of the Phantom Troupe, and this is my rightful reward." Allen's lips curled into a demonic smile as he watched the leader, who had just gotten up from the ground.
When Kurogure heard this, his face froze, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, his eyes burning with intense anger and hatred.
"Ten? That's quite a shock. Who are they? Did you kill Hisoka too?" Illumi immediately became concerned about his best friend.
"Don't worry, Hisoka made a deal with me. In a strict sense, he's not a member of the Phantom Troupe but a spy I planted. Thanks to him, I was able to meet some conditions for acquiring abilities and had a clear understanding of the Troupe's every move." Allen cruelly drove another knife into Kurogure's heart.
As the saying goes, it takes a villain to deal with a villain!
The best way to deal with a group of thieves like the Phantom Troupe, who have no moral principles and care nothing for their own or others' lives, is to destroy what they value most, making them suffer before they die!
Deep, searing pain!
A final cry of despair and regret!
Only then can justice be served for the innocent who have died.
"Oh! If that's the case, no problem, leave it to me. By the way, remember to make Kurogure pay before you kill him, or I'll have done this job for nothing."
Illumi, being the eldest son of the Zoldyck family, maintained his composure throughout, his tone never wavering.
"If he dies before paying, I'll give you two vials of medicine as compensation the next time we meet," Allen said with a mix of amusement and frustration.
"Really? That's great! Kill Kurogure now! I want the medicine more than the money."
Illumi's mood changed faster than turning a page, from worrying about whether the client would pay before dying to hoping the client would die quickly.
After all, money can be earned again, but the medicine that can instantly heal severe injuries is unique.
"Sorry, as much as I'd like to, I've already promised Hisoka to leave Kurogure to him. You know how annoying he can be; if I don't keep my word, he'll keep bothering me. Besides, there's still one Troupe member, Machi, who hasn't shown up. I don't want any stragglers to ruin my perfect hunt."
Allen sighed regretfully, continuing to provoke the leader's most sensitive nerves.
If Kurogure were to initiate the attack, he could use self-defense as a reason to strangle this "source of evil."
Unfortunately, Kurogure was clearly not the type to be driven by anger and hatred. Instead of taking action himself, he asked Shiba and Nenro, "I have someone I want to kill. Are you interested in taking the job?"
"If you mean him, I'm afraid I have to say no. You can't afford the price!" Shiba refused with a blank expression.
"How much?"
Kurogure didn't give up just because of one refusal.
He knew that whether he could successfully hire the two top assassins of the Zoldyck family would determine whether the Phantom Troupe would all die here tonight or rise from the ashes with their broken bodies.
"10 trillion Jenny!" Shiba said with a cold laugh, a number that was utterly hopeless.
To be precise, this was an amount that even a typical billionaire couldn't come up with.
Despite the Phantom Troupe having stolen many treasures, they had also spent a lot, and their account didn't have that much money.
"Why is he worth so much?" Kurogure narrowed his eyes and asked.
Shiba immediately held up three fingers: "First, he is the president of the Hunter Association, a target of interest for the strongest Nen user, Netero, and someone he wants to fight. Second, his aura is extremely terrifying, and his abilities are particularly dangerous and troublesome, even for us, we have no guarantee of victory. Third, he has already attracted attention from higher levels. I'm sure you understand what that means, right?"
