Chapter 477 ( Rumor - II )
"This rumor is interesting" - Chrollo said as he started to think, only to frown - "But as Feitan said, this is too convenient."
"How true do you think the rumors are?" - Machi asked with a neutral expression on her face.
"Completely truthful" - Feitan answered seriously - "The probability of Cloud Strife going to the auction is extremely high, more with all the times his group have been going to the stalls in search of treasures thanks to the [Pixy Dragon] they have."
"An interesting creature, a pity it has already chosen its master" - Chrollo said as he sighed regretfully, after all, the [Pixy Dragon] tend to be loyal to the death. If their master is killed, they die after a few minutes to keep their masters company, that, along with their low fertility, has made the [Pixy Dragon] population almost extinct.
"Anyway, we'd better change the subject because this could change everything" - said Chrollo as he started to think - " If the rumor is true, then this is a good opportunity to be able to capture Neon Nostrade, but if not, it could endanger our lives, or at least the lives of some of the members of our small group."
"We will follow your decisions, Leader" - Feitan said seriously while the other members of the raña were nodding firmly.
Even Hisoka was nodding calmly, after all, he wished to accomplish his goal, so he had to act like a good boy.
"I want two of you to keep an eye on the group and confirm again that this rumor is true" - Chrollo said seriously - "And if it is, then we will continue with the plan as we had planned."
"Hai!" - exclaimed the spider members.
"The ones responsible for watching them, will be Shizuku, and Machi because Pakunoda was already discovered" - said Chrollo as the two women nodded calmly - "Ye remember, you don't have to make contact, you just have to watch them from a safe distance"
"We know, you don't have to repeat it" - Machi said neutrally as she walked out next to the oblivious Shizuku.
"Is this going to be a good idea, leader?" - Feitan asked as he frowned.
"As long as they don't do anything weird, it won't be a problem" - said Chrollo as he started to think - "But I still want you to go after them, Nobunaga, Franklin."
"OK" - nodded the two aforementioned as they walked behind the girls.
"I think it would have been a better idea for me to go with them" - said Hisoka as he looked boredly at the spider leader.
"And possibly send our plan to hell? No thanks" - replied Phinks with disdain.
"That lack of trust to me" - said Hisoka with boredom, only to get up and walk towards the door.
"Where are you going?" - Phinks asked with a frown.
"To take a walk around [Yorkshin], and who knows, maybe meet up with some acquaintance to fight" - said Hisoka while throwing a bored look at his teammate.
"How I hate that guy" - said Phinks with a frown.
"Like most of the group" - replied Feitan calmly as he looked at his leader - "Chrollo, I'm still confused as to why you want that girl's ability so badly."
"Because it's part of a bigger plan" - replied Chrollo as he closed his eyes - "I'm sorry, I can't say more on the subject."
"Relax, I wasn't trying to ask you to explain yourself, I just wanted to see if you could tell us" - Feitan said while shaking his head - "By the way, Uvogin got out without us noticing."
"I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid" - said Chrollo while frowning.
"You stole the words right out of my mouth" - Feitan said as he shook his head.

Time moved slowly, and two days had passed.
Cloud and the others, had been mostly in their room, though there were times where Neon and his bodyguards came to chat with them.
Kurapika was beginning to feel a deep headache as he saw how his mistress was getting more and more bamboozled by the blond, though everyone could see that he had no sort of interest in her.
Melody had managed to calm down a bit as she saw that the blond wasn't as bad as she first thought, though she was still on the defensive.
Cloud seemed to ignore anything that didn't interest him, so he wasn't upset with the attitude of Melody and the other "guests".
It was on one such visit, that Kurapika received a call from his friends telling him that they had already arrived in [Yorkshin].
Cloud listened to this with mild interest because he really wanted to see how strong his two little friends had become, after all, they had enormous potential.
"Is it true that you will be attending the underworld auction, Cloud-san?" - Neon asked as she played with his hair.
"That's right" - nodded Cloud calmly - "I'll participate from tomorrow until the end."
"Oh" - Neon sighed with regret when she heard this because she had only bought tickets for the auction on the 5th, the day that the Kurta clan's eyes would be auctioned along with other objects that interested her.
"Sorry, I could only get one ticket, otherwise I would have invited them" - Cloud replied as he shook his head, though honestly this had been said out of politeness.
"No worries, thank you for your good intentions" - smiled Neon as she looked down regretfully - "Well, I guess that would be all for now, I've already stolen from your time".
"You can come over anytime" - Kyoko said with a forced smile as she saw how Neon was looking at her huge breasts with a look full of jealousy - ". . ."
"Neon-sama, it's time" - said Squala while shaking her head.
"Right, I have an appointment with a masseuse" - smiled Neon as she retreated along with her bodyguards.
"She's a special girl" - said Menchi while shaking her head.
"Tell it like it is, the little brat is a pain in the ass" - said Kyōka as she snorted with disdain - "She's the only one who doesn't see that Cloud isn't interested in her."
"I'd rather say she's consciously averting her gaze" - said Kyoko while shaking her head - "I guess Cloud is her first love, and that's why she doesn't want things to end badly."
"I understand what you're trying to say, but it's feeling selfish" - muttered Menchi while frowning. She as a woman, could understand the desire to be with the guy she liked, but that didn't mean she would impose herself on him, just because she liked him.
"Even if the relationship started, things would end badly for the girl because Cloud would get bored of her in a matter of days" - Kyōka said disdainfully - "Let's face it, Cloud is the type of guy who desires strong female companions."
"Then why did he choose me?" - Kyoko asked regretfully, after all, she of was one of the weakest women in their group.
"Because unlike the brat, you have something that she doesn't, the will to make yourself stronger because you know what weak people feel" - said Kyōka while squinting her eyes - "You may have the huge problem of putting yourself down, but at the same time that's what makes you want to make yourself stronger."
Kyoko was silent for a few seconds, not knowing what to say.
"Think about it more calmly, do you think that girl would have done what you did?" - Kyōka asked as she folded her arms - "Because I assure you, it wouldn't have even crossed her mind to enter all the very dangerous areas we've visited."
"She has a point" - nodded Menchi as she started to think - "Neon Nostrade is no good for living our life."
"Thanks, girls" - Kyoko murmured with a smile.
Cloud just watched as the women conversed with a smile on his face, only to frown as he looked out the window and noticed how two pairs is eyes were watching them from a nearby building.
* * *
"Did he see us?" - Shizuku asked in surprise as she looked at her companion.
"I don't think so, it has to be a coincidence" - said Machi seriously, but the gaze fixed in her direction was disturbing - "Maybe we should change location".
"Ok, we'll do it right away" - Shizuku said simply as the two women retreated without noticing how Cloud averted his gaze as he watched the two women leave.
* * *
"Why are they retreating from that room?" - Franklin asked as he frowned at the sight of how his female companions were exiting the building they were in.
"I would like to assume that they must have discovered them" - Nobunaga replied seriously - "And if so, then their senses are much sharper than we thought, and this makes the mission much more difficult."
"At least they are not in danger" - Franklin said as he shook his head.
"For now" - added Nobunaga as he looked at his friend - "We'd better go warn them to a le them to back off a bit, or things will get too complicated."
