93 Chapter 21 : Greed Island

At the end of the auction, James, Gon and Killua gathered in a private room.

"Hello Mr. James." Gon greeted Gon enthusiastically, Killua reluctantly made a brief greeting.

"I see you look great."

James looked at the two boys for a moment before throwing away a key.

Gon grabbed the key and looked at James with an expression of incomprehension.

"This is the key to the apartment I paid for, the address is on the key chain, I'm going into Greed Island tonight, do what you have to do and meet me there at 8:00."

Then James got up and left the room without giving Gon or Killua time to talk.

Coming out of the auction house with Greed Island under his arms, James suddenly stopped.

"Come out of hiding, the IN has no effect on my perception."

Phinks and Nobunaga each came out of a corner and stopped in front of James.

James looked at them and said in a calm voice.

"A wounded man and a samurai, do you seriously think you can defeat me?

"We're not here to fight you."

Nobunaga said with clenched fists as Phinks looked at him with a concealed desire to murder.

"But to warn you that one day we will find you and kill you in the worst possible way."

Then the two left without James stopping them, he smiled and stopped a cab and got into it.

"If I wasn't completely exhausted you'd be dead already."

. . . .

In the evening around 8 pm.

In an old apartment in Yorknew, James was sitting in front of a table on which a white game console was placed.

He bitterly ate a basket full of vegetables while looking at the console in front of him.

"I'm tired of just eating vegetables, but the meat tastes like disgusting chemicals, the fruit is so sweet I feel like vomiting."

He heard someone open the door and saw Gon, Killua, Leorio and Kurapika enter the room together.

"Good evening, Mr. James."

"James, how are you doing? I heard about your exploits at the auction, you know I've been having some financial problems recently and if you could lend me a few billion..."

"LEORIO!" Cries Killua and Kurapika with a bad look.

"All right, it was just a joke, don't get mad at me for nothin'."

James smiled at this and munched a carrot, but he noticed Kurapika's face was pale and he looked extremely tired, the other three looked normal.

"This is the repercussion of nen, his will must have been so shaken in his confrontation with the Phantom Troupe that he fell ill."

"It's been a long time Kurapika, how are you?"

"Sorry to barge in unannounced, but we wanted to accompany Gon and Killua and say you goodbye, Leorio and I decided to leave Yorknew today," Kurapika said.

"I'm glad you thought to come and say goodbye."

"Mr. James, I heard about what happened between you and the Troop and I want to thank you, even if you didn't do this for me, I am infinitely grateful."

Kurapika bowed slightly to James, who couldn't help but laugh.

"It was nothing, in fact I like all four of you, even the little white-haired dwarf with a bad temper, if you need any help don't hesitate to ask me."

That said, everyone smiled except Killua, who was offended by the term dwarf and bad temper.

"Would you like to join us in the game?" Asked James.

"No,I'm going to look for the eyes of my tribe members."

"I'm going to continue medical school." Added Leorio with a smile.

"Good luck to you, and by the way, Kurapika, try to investigate on the side of Prince Tserriednich of the Kakin Empire, it will help you in your research."

Kurapika nodded his head and thanked James, he and Leorio said goodbye to Gon and Killua and left.

James who had just finished eating all the vegetables in the basket stood up and looked at Gon and Killua.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes, I'm ready!"

"There are already all memory cards inserted, there's two rings for you on the table, this is the ring to access the game, just pick the one you want."

James came up to the console, Killua took one of the rings and put it on his finger, but Gon took a ring out of his pocket and put it on, but James didn't ask him any questions.

"When "Now Playing" appears on the screen one of you will be able to enter."

James put his hand in front of the console and concentrated his aura without his palms, he was instantly sucked into the console.

James opened his eyes and found himself in a white room with black symbols on the floor and a white door that opened slowly.

He walked to the door and entered a room where there was a white-haired girl wearing a metal helmet in a kind of electronic levitating machine.
