Chapter 67 - Threat and Silence

As the storm continued to rage outside, the hotel lobby doors burst open, and in walked Phinks and Feitan, looking annoyed and frustrated. They had just arrived and were eager to find out what had happened.

Nobunaga quickly filled them in on the events that had transpired. "Chrollo has been taken by a chain user, and Pakunoda was threatened with his life if she spoke about the details. "We need to act fast to get him back."

Phinks' face twisted into a scowl. "How was this chain user able to take and capture the leader on his own? Why are these kids still here, captured yet again?"

Nobunaga shook his head. "We're not sure. It all happened so fast, and the person was skilled at remaining hidden. When the lights went off, he was able to take the leader and capture him. The only thing we know is that they were able to take Chrollo without anyone noticing.

Feitan crossed his arms, clearly deep in thought. "And what about that guy named Axel? I heard he tried to stop you." "From taking the man who was the bodyguard for the Nostrade family,"

Nobunaga nodded. "Yes, he did, but we were able to handle him." "He is strong and capable of fighting me one-on-one."

Phinks let out a deep sigh. "This is a mess. "We need to come up with a plan, fast. That Axel guy being able to fight you means that he is strong enough to create problems."

Feitan was also added.

"Yeah, your clothes are cut; it is the handy work of a blade-type user; he must be good enough to not kill you and cut your clothes."

Nobunaga agreed. "I know. We need to act quickly before it's too late. But we also need to be careful. "We don't want to put Chrollo's life in even more danger."

Feitan nodded. "Agreed. "We need to be smart about this."

"

As the group continued to discuss their next steps, the storm outside began to calm. But the tension in the hotel lobby remained high as they planned their next move to rescue their leader, Chrollo.

At that time, Shalnark, who stayed silent, heard that his phone was ringing.

"It's a fictitious number!"

Nobunaga spoke with a hurried tone.

"Open it."

Shalnark opened the phone, and he listened for two seconds before looking at Pakunoda.

"It is the chain user; he wants to talk to Pakunoda."

As the group continued to plan their next move, Pakunoda suddenly took the phone, which she quickly answered, and the voice on the other end immediately caught her attention.

It was Kurapika.

Pakunoda, because of Squala, the man who was a bodyguard for the Nostrade Family, knew Kurapika, and she knew that he was not to be underestimated. He was a skilled hunter with a grudge against the Phantom Troupe, and she was the only one who knew what he looked like.

She quickly took the phone from Shalnark and moved away from the others, listening intently to Kurapika's words.

"Get away from the others and listen to me all alone." If anybody listens to this talk, the leader of yours will be killed." Kurapika's voice was cold and controlled.

Pakunoda started to get away from the other Phantom Troupe members. Feitan tried to listen, but she shook her head and told him not to do what he was going to do.
