85 Chapter 13 : Requiem

Chrollo was standing in front of a bay window and behind him a corpse of a man impaled by a pen and a man who was being devoured by nen-flying fish.

"I see, Franklin and Feitan are dead, it's a sad loss. Get back to the HQ, we'll meet you as soon as we're done here."

Then he turned off the phone, and the next second the flying fish disappeared, and the man who was eaten by them died.

"The essential calendar

is amputated on the one hand, the moons that remain...will invoke vengeance."

"To the melody that the mourning orchestra performs, the silver moon is raised with serenity."

"Beware of the alchemist in search of power and his shadow hovering on the paws."

The Phantom Troupe began its rampage in the middle of the city, killing dozens of mafia members every second.

Causing explosions and massacring anyone in their path.

"Uvo, Feitan, Franklin... Can you hear? This is our requiem for you."

Meanwhile, Kurapika and his Boss were in the room where Neon is resting. Kurapika decides to patrol the building, but Light stops him and begs him to stay for his daughter's safety while waiting for their rescue and the doctor to arrive.

Shortly after, the doctor arrives and examines Neon's condition. Bean questions Kurapika about him staying in Neon's room instead of doing his job by hunting down the Phantom Troupe.

Afterwards, Kurapika gets permission to patrol the building.

. . . . . . .

James who was sleeping in the room of a small hotel in the east end of Yorknew City suddenly received a call that woke him up.

He picked up the call and heard Gon's voice.

"Hello, Mr. James?"

"Yes Gon."

"Great! You're alive, Mr. James."

"You thought I was dead?" James asked, hollering.

"Yes, the troupe has a member who can read minds, they now know..."

But before Gon explained the situation to him James interrupted him.

"I already know all this, don't worry, I took care of the members of the Troupe who had come to get me, but are you all right?"

"Huh? Yes, we're fine, but...."

"Don't worry, I'm fine, you've already done your part, as promised I'll buy the Greed Island game, I'm sleepy, goodbye."

"Ok, goodbye Mr. James."

"Call me if you need any help."

Then James cut off the call and went straight back to sleep trying to recover his aura as quickly as possible.

Killua listening to the conversation between Gon and James suddenly clenched his angry fists.

"The bastard, he used us well."

Gon, who had just cut the call, looked at Killua perplexed. Killua noticed the facial expression of Gon surprised, explained the situation to him.

"He had planned that we would be captured by the Troupe, that's why he made us go up to his hotel room and deliberately showed us the stolen objects, if you noticed when he called Milluki he walked away from us so that we wouldn't hear their conversations."

"He has already sold the items in the auction but he wanted the Troupe to think that he still had the items, I'm sure that the explosion that happened at his hotel today was caused by him to injure the members of the Troupe that was chasing him."

"He knew that the woman named Pakunoda could read minds, he had already planned everything, to have me exploited in this way makes me want to strangle him." Killua screams in frustration.

"So Mr. James had it all figured out already?"

"Yes, and the worst part is that his plan worked without a hitch. These guys are too monstrous, he may even have killed the members of the Troupe looking for him."

"Wow, Mr. James is that strong, but what do we do now?"

"We already have a way to get Greed Island back, so there's no need to bother." Said Killua lazily putting his hands behind his head.

"That's true, but we have to warn Kurapika."

The Phantom Troupe continued to wreak havoc on the streets of Yorknew City.

During patrols, members and leaders of the mafia are seen to be dissatisfied with their situation.

Kurapika then received a call from Gon and Killua, both of them telling Kurapika that they had been kidnapped by the Troupe and talking about what James had done, which made Kurapika angry with them and surprised him, finally understanding who had stolen the auction items.

The two still insisted on helping him by giving him information, but Kurapika refused because he has another source and does not want them to get involved in his mission.

After their conversation, the Phantom Troupe continued their ransacking as they approached the auction building.

The situation inside the Cemetery Building was out of control, the mafia members started to panic and wanted to protect themselves by breaking the auction rules.
