Chapter 372 The Cunning Kanzai

Machi quickly scanned the number of Nen Users present and said calmly, "There are more obstacles than expected."

As she spoke, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Although they had the advantage in the number of Nen Users, she inexplicably had a bad premonition.

Inside the hall.

Fiona and Kanzai each protected their employers, their expressions grave as they looked at the Phantom Troupe members standing on the middle of the staircase.

Koko, who was protected by Fiona behind her, looked at Ryles on the Phantom Troupe's side with cold killing intent in her eyes.

However, Ryles, like a fickle playboy, didn't pay attention to Koko's presence at all. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the bewitching Erin, whose entire body exuded a seductive aura.

This mature, alluring woman was his target for this trip.

Biscuit quickly came to Moses's side and whispered: "These people are not weak."

"Yeah, they're the Phantom Troupe."

Moses looked at the Phantom Troupe members with a slightly serious expression.

'There was no sign of Shalnark, but everyone else was there.'

'The Phantom Troupe is all present...'

'They are undoubtedly a huge threat.'

"The Phantom Troupe?"

Biscuit raised an eyebrow.

Although she never paid much attention to criminals, she had heard of the Phantom Troupe's reputation.

Shizuku slowly looked at Chrollo and the others on the staircase, then whispered to herself with a strange look on her face: "Phantom Troupe..."

Like Biscuit, her understanding of the Phantom Troupe was limited, but she knew they originated from Meteor City, which technically made them her fellow countrymen.

The guests who came to the exchange meeting, however, didn't care about such details. At this moment, they just wanted to leave this place of trouble.

After a brief moment of shock, they all rushed towards the blood-covered hall door.

The guests' actions were seen by the Phantom Troupe, but they remained indifferent.

The target of this operation was the numerous antiques displayed in the hall. As for these guests...

As long as they don't get in the way, then no matter what these guests want to do, it has nothing to do with them.

If the Hex Family chose to flee in the face of danger and abandoned resistance, they also wouldn't be pursued. The Phantom Troupe would just pack up the antiques and leave.

"Boss, let's go."

Harvey placed a hand on Erin's shoulder and pushed her towards the door.

Erin looked at the door, now covered in sticky blood and flesh, with a grim expression.

Kanzai frowned.

The commission he accepted was to protect Erin's safety as a bodyguard.

Therefore, as long as the Phantom Troupe allows his employer to leave, he will definitely leave with his employer to ensure his employer's safety.

'Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get out...'

Kanzai, guarding Erin from behind, glanced in Moses's direction, and shouted in his heart.

In his opinion, this group of people's target was obviously the antiques at the Museum Exchange Conference.

So, after cutting off the power, their powerful firepower deliberately avoided the many display cases in the hall.

After confirming this, as long as these guys don't attack them who come to attend the exchange meeting, they could completely stay out of it and keep away from this place of trouble.

And this is indeed the case.

The Phantom Troupe did not attack the guests who wanted to escape.

They would even like to see these guests take away some Nen Users bodyguards.

However…

Given what Moses had done to Franklin and Shalnark before, this approach of letting the guests leave would obviously excluded Moses.

Kanzai was unaware of the feud between Moses and the Phantom Troupe. He quickly escorted Erin through the gate stained with blood and flesh, and arrived outside the Snow Palace.

At this moment, a large number of security personnel who were responsible for patrolling the courtyard came towards the Snow Palace and saw many guests who had fled the Snow Palace in panic.

"Dear guests, please don't panic. Please believe that we can control the situation as quickly as possible."

A security personnel, presumably the leader, rushed to the scene and hurriedly tried to reassure everyone, attempting to stabilize the situation.

However, just after he finished speaking, a security personnel, who was traveling with him, suddenly raised his automatic rifle and pulled the trigger at him.

Da da da da…

As gunfire erupted, bullets wrapped in high temperature tore through the night, hitting the leader.

Puff! Puff!

Along with the splattering blood, the leader, with a look of astonishment on his face, fell to the ground, never understanding why bullets were coming from his own team.

As the leader fell to the ground, the continuous gunfire happened to cover the three people who had just come out of the Snow Palace: Erin's group.

Seeing the bullets coming, Harvey quickly stood in front of Erin.

[Firearms Ban]

Harvey crossed his arms in front of him, making a gesture that seemed to be blocking some kind of impact. Following that, a shield made of Nen appeared in front of him.

The bullets heading towards him hit the Nen shield, vanishing in an instant like pebbles falling into a lake, leaving only ripples behind.

[Firearms Ban.]

It's a fully interceptive ability of the Emission-Type. The effect is to divert 100% of the firearm attacks from the front. Even the fire from an anti-tank sniper rifle can be easily intercepted.

Kanzai already knew about Harvey's ability, so before the gunfire arrived, he didn't stand in front of Erin but guarded other angles that might threaten her.

This sudden backstabbing gunfire amplified the guests' panic.

The statement made by the fallen leader about 'controlling the situation as quickly as possible' instantly became the most unconvincing remark.

So, even if the person who backstabbed with a gun was killed by the other security personnel, the guests present were still unwilling to stay for even a moment.

Kanzai looked at the corpse of the 'traitor' who had been shot to pieces.

'A Manipulation-Type Ability, huh? Then...'

A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he quickly moved to the side of the corpse and found an antenna inserted under the back collar of the corpse.

Without any hesitation and without caring about any possible hidden traps, his right hand, wrapped in solid Nen, clenched into a fist and struck the antenna.

Bang!

The antenna suddenly shattered.

With exquisite control of force, even after destroying the antenna, he didn't harm the corpse at all.

In the shadows, Shalnark's face darkened.

'I made a mistake...'

He originally wanted to wait for an opportunity to retrieve the antenna, but he didn't expect that a fool would appear and destroy the antenna directly.

'That bastard…'

'He's probably an Enhancer!!!'
