At night, 8:29.
A figure wearing a comical beauty mask pushed open the door and walked in. After looking around, he walked straight towards Chrollo Lucilfer.
As he passed by Nobunaga's table, out of instinct, Nobunaga's right hand rested on top of the katana that was covered with a cloth on the table, but in the next moment, an incomparably terrifying aura pressed down on him like a huge mountain, making him unable to move while his head was covered in cold sweat!
He saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones.
He saw blood flowing like a river.
He saw the Undead Scourge.
Of course, he also saw the figure on the throne of bones.
"Nobunaga! Nobunaga! What happened to you? Wake up!"
All of a sudden, everything disappeared like an illusion.
The warm light enveloped the heavily panting Nobunaga. At some point in time, the figure had already passed him and sat down at Chrollo Lucilfer's side.
"Nobunaga, are you alright?"
They were clearly so close, but Machi didn't notice anything at all.
What did this mean?
Nobunaga recalled what he had seen in the illusion and grabbed his katana with his right hand, his veins bulging.
He couldn't believe that as the number one fighter in the Phantom Troupe, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"No. It's nothing."
Nobunaga forced a smile. He raised his cup to drink some water to calm himself down. However, he did not control his strength and directly crushed the cup, causing the water in the cup to spill all over his body.
"I will leave for a while."
After saying this, Nobunaga silently grabbed the katana and went out.
Machi lightly bit her lips. Nobunaga's abnormal actions showed that something must have happened just now.
She suddenly felt that it was not a wise choice for them to come into contact with each other so rashly!
On the other side, Chrollo Lucilfer withdrew the corner of his eyes and smiled with impeccable courtesy. "If my people offended you just now, I can apologize for him, Mr. Ninja."
The eyes under Haru's mask flashed slightly. It seemed that someone knew about the relationship between [Ninja], and the Floor Master of the 251st floor of the Heaven Arena.
It didn't matter.
Therefore, Haru said coldly, "The only people who touch weapons in front of me are the enemy and the dead. However, considering that he is only subconsciously reacting, I can give my employer some face."
What else could he do to ask [Ninja] to come over?
He must have come to life!
Therefore, Haru directly pointed it out. As for scaring the letter head just now, it could be seen as a greeting gift.
Since the other party could hide from the sky and send the invitation letter to his room, then he could naturally change the invitation letter to a bomb.
It was also impolite to not reciprocate. If you scare me, I'll scare you. It's reasonable.
Chrollo Lucilfer blinked. He could also hear the other meaning behind the other party's words just now.
Give the employer some face.
In other words, if they had come to find the other party today because of some other matter, without the employer's relationship, there was no need to give face.
A little deeper, what would happen if they failed to negotiate?
This show of strength was really eye-catching.
After realizing that the other party was difficult to deal with, Chrollo Lucilfer also put out the little thoughts in her heart and said bluntly, "This time, I have taken the liberty to invite you over. There is indeed a commission that I want to discuss with you."
"Target, time limit, price."
"I need you to assassinate the Ten Elders on the day of September 1. I know the price of your offer, so I will give you 200 billion each, a total of 200 billion commission."
When Haru heard this, he immediately recalled the plot of the auction house in Yorknew City.
Calculating the time, the Phantom Troupe was indeed ready to attack there.
And with Chrollo Lucilfer's wisdom, he would definitely think of the result of their attack.
With the ten highest leaders of the underworld all over the world - the dark forces led by the Ten Elders would definitely wipe out the Phantom Troupe at all costs.
That was why Chrollo Lucilfer chose to prepare for the rainy day and left a backup plan before making a move.
In the original story, Chrollo Lucilfer did the same. Before the Elders hired Zoldyck Family to wipe out the Phantom Troupe, they first entrusted Zoldyck Family to kill the Elders!
And one of the family rules that Zoldyck Family has was that after the employer confirmed his death, the mission was cancelled because the remaining funds could no longer be collected.
Because of this, Chrollo Lucilfer did not die at the hands of Silva Zoldyck.
However, this time, Chrollo Lucilfer did not choose to entrust Zoldyck Family. Instead, he sought him out. This undoubtedly surprised Haru.
Moreover, the price was fairly fair. The bounty offered by the members of the Phantom Troupe was only 200 million per person.
However, considering what the Phantom Troupe was going to do next, as well as the position of the en Elders in the dark forces.
Haru smiled and said, "I accept this commission, but... I have to pay more."
"How much do you want?" Chrollo Lucilfer also smiled.
"I'll give you a number, 300 billion."
"This price is even higher than the request from Zoldyck Family. Can I hear the reason?" Chrollo Lucilfer was still not angry. Instead, he asked in a refined manner.
"The reason is very simple. If you don't give me 3 billion, I will go to the en Elders and take 300 billion to kill you. In any case, the result will be the same."
"Just because I said I wanted to assassinate them?"
"August 31st, do you still need me to say more about the auction in Yorknew City?"
Chrollo Lucilfer's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Not only are you preparing to attack the auction, but you are also preparing to get it done once and for all in advance. You asked me to make a move on September 1st just to ensure that the auction the day before went smoothly, and also to prevent the en Elders from entrusting others to exterminate you. A smart plan, but don't treat others as fools. As long as you guys have 300 billion, it's already because of my professionalism. Now, tell me, is this 300 billion a lot?"
Chrollo Lucilfer subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and then returned to his fake smile. "Then, deal."
"I've always been the first to pay half of the deposit. After the commission is completed, pay the other half. If any problems arise in the middle, the deposit will not be refunded."
"Before that, I would like to ask you a question. How did you know that we were going to take action against the auction in Yorknew City? Do you think I can rely on the fact that I entrusted you to assassinate the en Elders and a date?"
"Is this still not enough? Just by entrusting me to assassinate the Ten Elders is enough to show that your next big move is definitely related to the other party, and there is a high chance that you will offend the other party to death. Then, think about the dark forces that are related to the en Elders in the near future, and what are the things that are worth you to come here for? Moreover, it is before the 1st of September, so you don't understand everything."
Haru pretended to be enigmatic.
