"Notify the other party as quickly as possible and invite them to a duel."

"If you win, you will replace them and become the master of that floor. While enjoying all the privileges of a floor master, you also have certain obligations. For example, if someone wins ten consecutive battles and challenges you, you must respond unconditionally and cannot make excuses to decline."

"And if you lose while challenging the floor master, your win count will reset to zero, but you will still retain your privileges on the 200th floor. You can challenge the floor master again after accumulating ten victories."

"Those are the basic rules. Do you have any questions?"

Abel nodded slightly and then found an interesting name in the information in front of him.

"Could Chrollo be the one Hisoka is so obsessed with?"

Hisoka better not have run off; there's been no sign of him.

Abel circled the name with his pen and said without turning his head, "Arrange it as soon as possible and then notify me."

"Choosing him, huh? Interesting."

The receptionist smiled inscrutably upon seeing the opponent Abel had chosen.

Abel's choice of Chrollo had a simple reason: he wanted to force Hisoka into action. 

After all, Hisoka had joined the Phantom Troupe just to fight Chrollo.

Now that Abel intended to seize the 'fruit' Hisoka desired most, how could Hisoka remain indifferent after hearing the news?

To further provoke Hisoka, Abel went back and wrote on a piece of paper, "Sorry, Chrollo is mine," and posted it on the door.

It wasn't long before Hisoka, who had been hiding in the Sky Arena, saw the note.

His face almost twisted with rage!

If everyone has an untouchable 'reverse scale,' then Abel had just drawn a turtle on Hisoka's, and even spat on it.

But this guy was extremely forbearing. Because he knew that if he acted rashly now, he would certainly lose. He must find the perfect moment to strike.

... 

Yorknew City. 

Chrollo, who had already sent out a message to gather other members of the troupe to pull off a big heist, suddenly received a communication. It was a way to contact him specifically left at the Heaven's Arena. After thinking for a moment, he replied. At least before his true identity was exposed, his position as a floor master at Heaven's Arena served as a good cover and provided him with many conveniences for his operations. 

However, it seemed that something unexpected had happened this time.

"What? Someone actually challenged the leader?"

A cold and stunning woman with short blonde hair and an eagle-like nose was both surprised and astonished. The woman's name was Pakunoda, a member of the Phantom Troupe responsible for intelligence gathering and Chrollo's most loyal follower. Each time before Chrollo gathered members for action, Pakunoda would conduct a preliminary investigation. This time was no exception.

"I checked with Machi; she said the person who wants to challenge me has already defeated Hisoka, and did so with ease. Their strength cannot be underestimated."

"So, are you going to accept the challenge?"

Chrollo pondered this question. Mainly, he was uncertain of the role Hisoka played in this; could it be a trap targeting him? Besides, he had already gathered all the members, and they would soon make their move. If he went to Heaven's Arena now to accept the floor master challenge, whether he won or lost, it would undoubtedly disrupt his plans.

So, his answer was:

"I'm not going."
