79 Chapter 7 : Evolution of the situation

The bodyguards of the Nostrade family are back at their headquarters.

Uvogin was held in captivity and was not allowed to leave, he couldn't move because of the poison that was instilled in him and asks them how long he sleeps.

Dalzollene (the chief bodyguard) makes him aware of his situation and stabs him with his sword, but it is easily broken by Uvogin's body protected by Nen.

They asked Uvogin about the treasures and he answered them sincerely.

Uvogin proposed an agreement that if they set him free, he would let them live.

Kurapika asked him where the bodies of the members of the Mafia community had gone during the auction, since his comrades were among them, and Uvogin replied that they had killed them all out of necessity.

This made Kurapika angry and he punched him in the face.

Meanwhile, the members of the brigade had left the desert and returned to one of their hiding places.

Machi then called the leader and explained the situation.

"So Uvo was captured and a man stole the auction items from you, I'm not happy about that."

"Go in search of Uvo. Once we're together we'll go in search of the auction items."

"Sharmalck and the others went in search of him, I'm waiting for them here with Feitan and Nobunaga."

"Well, hurry up."

"All right."

Chrollo cut off the call with a pensive look, Pakunoda noticing the minute changes on Chrollo's calm face approached him, even Isoka, who was building a house of cards, looked up at him.

"Chief, why are you angry?"

Pakunoda being one of the oldest members of the brigade immediately understood that Chrollo was angry despite his calm expression.

He looked up at Pakunoda and said in a calm tone of voice

"Uvo was captured and someone stole the auction item."

Hisoka, hearing this, curiously lifted his chin with a pensive look.

"Interesting."

Then Hisoka asked Chrollo for permission to go meet someone.

. . . . .

The next morning the events of the previous night were spreading fast through the city, a huge reward was put on the heads of the members of the Troope, the mafia wanted everyone to look for the members of the Phantom Troupe dead or alive.

Bounty hunters, amateur fighters and even the homeless started looking for members of the Phantom Troupe.

Bayloke Hotel

The bedroom, living room and even the toilet in James' room were filled with countless objects.

James, sitting in front of his bedroom window, looked at Owl for a moment as he lay on the floor, without the slightest will to live in his eyes.

The method of torture he had used on Owl was very particular, the master of Doreamon was a doctor Ishval who secretly used the practice of alchemy to treat his patients had invented a circle of transmutation which was intended to decompose and recompose the nerves of paralyzed people.

But his experiment failed because he was unable to finish the alchemical process to recompose the nerves that were too complex.

He therefore accidentally created a circle of transmutation capable of decomposing the merfs but unable to restructure them, which was extremely painful for the victim of this circle.

James, who had read the principles of this circle in his notes at the time, had shivers down his spine hailing the genius and madness of Doraemon's master.

He closed his eyes and shortened Owl's suffering by breaking his neck, then he got up from his chair, took Owl's corpse and brought it into his bathroom and put it in his bathtub before closing the toilet door, being careful not to damage any of the objects in his possession, then he returned to sit down in front of the bay window of his room and began to meditate. (EAD requires too much aura and meditation is one of the fastest methods for him to recover his nen.)

"My Evil Detective Assistant's using a little too much nen, I should think about disabling it before I prepare for combat."

"I will soon have my revenge and as a bonus with the auction items I will earn enough money to facilitate my future moves."

Meanwhile, Gon, Killua and Leorio were discussing their financial situation in order to purchase the Greed Island game.

They were continuing their arm wrestling with a mafia boss who told them about an underground fighting network where they could make a lot more money.

Just as Gon was about to enter a fight, it was cancelled because the mafia wants everyone to look for the members of the Ghost Troupe.

They tried to call Kurapika to tell him about the bounty on the Troupe, but he didn't answer their calls.

Gon then made a surprising proposal.

"Why don't we talk to Mr. James about it."
