Chapter 478 ( Auction - I )

The day of the auction had arrived, and nothing unusual had happened for the group.

Cloud could only shake his head when he saw how the people who had been spying on them had disappeared without a trace, after all, that would have been a good opportunity to make sure that his assumption was correct.

At the moment, Cloud was walking alone towards the entrance of the place where the event would be organized, noticing how many of the people were looking at him with fear.

"Well, at least with this no one will bother me anymore" - Cloud muttered while clicking his tongue, but his expression changed to a serious one when he saw two strange people.

One was a tall muscular man, and his companion was a young man of about 16.

Normally they wouldn't be strangers, but the problem was that the two were unconsciously releasing a strange aura filled with bloodlust that was almost imperceptible unless one was paying attention.

"Looks like the auction won't be as simple as I thought" - Cloud thought as he shook his head and walked inside the building with Mimi on his shoulder - "Don't you think so too, Mimi?"

"Kyu ~!" - Mimi nodded excitedly because she could feel how her treasure detector, was going crazy.

"Did he even notice that we were watching him?" - Feitan asked as he frowned with a cold expression on his face.

"I don't think so, possibly he sensed that there was something off about us" - answered Franklin while frowning - "By the way, have we received any information about Uvogin's whereabouts?"

"No, which is not so strange" - replied Feitan as he started to think - "That idiot likes to disappear without a trace to cause trouble."

"But it's strange that he didn't contact us for two days" - said Franklin seriously - "Couldn't something have happened to him?"

"I don't think so, he's one of the strongest in the group, at least in physical strength" - said Feitan as he started to think - "Maybe he just drank too much and now he's unconscious."

"Sounds like something he would do" - nodded Franklin as the two spider members entered the building, although to make sure not to raise suspicions, they decided to wait near the reception and be the last to enter.

"It's a pity we didn't get to exchange all the valuables" - said Feitan as he frowned remembering how Chrollo had made a change of plans - "At least we got a lot of rare items".

"It's best not to be greedy, not when we're being watched" - said Franklin as he shook his head.

The appearance of a [Pixy Dragon], had changed the plans of the [Ghost Brigade] because it was obvious that Cloud would notice that something weird was going on when his little friend didn't respond to the "treasures".

"Come on, it's time" - Feitan said as he decided to leave the subject for another time, after all, they had an alibi to perform.

* * * * *

"Fuck you" - said Uvogin, who was with his whole body bloodied.

He was bound in chains to a chair, with an expression of absolute pain on his face.

"I'm going to ask you one more time" - said Kurapika while squinting his eyes - "Where are the other members of the spider?"

"And I'll answer you the same way, fuck you" - Uvogin growled, only gritting his teeth to resist the urge to scream from the enormous pain he felt, after all, he had a chain clenching his heart, and a sword point waiting for the moment to end his life - "If I'm going to die, I'll die with honor, without mentioning a single word of my companions, but I warn you, they won't be quiet when they know the truth"

"That's what I wish" - Kurapika replied coldly as his eyes turned blood red - "If you are not going to tell me anything about your companions, then I will make them come to me."

"Good luck with that, your death is assured" - Uvogin replied disdainfully as he groaned in pain - "You only defeated me because I let my guard down when I saw how weak you were, the others are not like that."

"But their fury towards me, will make them not as logical as you say" - replied Kurapika as he extended his hand - "Now I will ask you one last time, where is the central base of the spider?"

"Fuck you, motherfucker" - replied Uvogin while spitting blood in the blond boy's face - "I'll see you in hell".

"Easy, I'll go, but that will be when I fulfill my revenge" - replied Kurapika as he controlled his Nen and pierced Uvogin's heart with the sword-shaped tip on which one of his chains ended.

Kurapika eyed Uvogin's limp corpse with hatred, only to sigh with regret at how he hadn't gotten any new information, though he had to admit he was lucky to find one of the few men they had on record as a member of the spider, after all, most of the members of the [Ghost Brigade], worked in anonymity to prevent them from being tracked down so easily.

"What are you going to do now, Kurapika?" - Melody asked as she looked at her young friend with concern.

"First, anonymously announce Uvogin's death, so I'll attract the spider's attention to see if I can hunt them down one by one" - Kurapika answered seriously - "While I do that, you will protect Neon-sama and attend the auction."

"Don't you think it would be a good idea to ask Cloud-san for help?" - Melody asked as she looked at her young friend.

"It's a good idea, in fact, I was thinking about it too" - replied Kurapika while shaking his head - "The problem is that he's at the auction."

"But the women with him are still at the hotel" - Melody said as she cocked her head to the side - "I'm sure they must have a way to contact him."

"You have a point, I'll go right away" - said Kurapika as he left the room, but not before looking at the corpse of one of those responsible for the near annihilation of his clan and thus reinforcing her conviction.

Both Cloud and Kurapika, had changed the fate of a few people without knowing it, although there are times when fate is a bitch.

* * * * *

"This is boring" - Kyōka said as she sighed regretfully.

She thought that now that Cloud was gone, the [Ghost Brigade] would try something against Neon Nostrade, but such seemed that this was not the case.

"At least with this we are resting in peace" - Menchi said as she shrugged her shoulders.

"I agree with her" - nodded Kyoko while Kyōka looked at them with boredom, after all, she really wished for a good battle, and such it seemed that her prayers had been heard because someone was knocking at the door.

"Coming ~!" - Kyoko exclaimed as she walked towards the door to see who it was, only to be surprised to see a familiar face - "Kurapika-san? What do you need?"

"It's something important that doesn't have to be heard by anyone else, so I'd like to be let in" - Kurapika said seriously.

Kyoko stared at him for a few seconds before nodding weakly, she could feel that something had changed inside this young man.

Kurapika slowly followed Kyoko into the living room, only to see how Kyōka was still in her bathing suit, unconcerned about her appearance.

The young blond blushed at this graphic scene, but quickly returned to normal.

"Sorry about that, but that's the most appropriate appearance she could take on such short notice" - Menchi said while giving the carefree girl a blank look, although in retrospect, her appearance didn't vary much from her everyday attire.

"What is it you want to tell us?" - Kyōka asked crisply, after all, she didn't want to waste her time over something stupid like a romantic confession.

"I've come to ask for your help" - Kurapika said seriously while deciding to look at Menchi or Kyoko - "It's about the spider."

"You want to hire us to help you with revenge?" - Kyōka asked while frowning - "I don't think you have enough money."

"Not exactly" - replied Kurapika as he showed them a picture he had taken with an instant camera.

"I've seen worse in this job, in fact, he died too clean a death" - Kyōka said as he started to think - "Although now that I look at it properly, he's Uvogin, one of the members of the [Ghost Brigade]"

"Exactly, I managed to kill him" - replied Kurapika as he clenched his fists tightly before sighing regretfully.

"Congratulations, kid, you finally managed to get started with your revenge" - said Kyōka while squinting her eyes - "I guess you did it with an ambush because if I heard right, this guy would have to have more or less my same physical power, at least in my normal phase."

"I killed him because he let his guard down" - Kurapika replied while gritting his teeth - "He said he did it because he found that I was too weak."

"That makes sense" - nodded Kyōka as she started to think - "Although that means you're now in the crosshairs of you bastards."
