In that instant, a fiery killing intent flickered in Chrollo's eyes. Intense 'aura' surged out, threatening to engulf the entire room. However, just as it extended, it met a fierce counterattack. A terrifying presence, proclaiming supremacy over all, pressed down on him instead. Chrollo was utterly shocked, feeling as if he were confronting a true king, looking down on him as if he were an ant.

"If you want to start this duel early, I'm happy to oblige."

Chrollo's eyes flashed, and he voluntarily retracted his 'aura'. Abel gave him a glance but did not pursue the attack further, also retracting his Conqueror's Haki. This power was indeed useful. Unfortunately, once he returned to his body, he would have to seal it temporarily. If he accidentally used it, he would have to eliminate all witnesses. Otherwise, if news of him awakening Conqueror's Haki reached Doflamingo or his family, there would be trouble.

"Sorry for the disturbance." Chrollo stood up and left immediately. Having gotten his answer, he saw no reason to waste more time here. 

"Abel, I'll remember this name. We will meet again." 

Before leaving the Sky Arena, Chrollo voluntarily forfeited his tower master status. According to the rules, Abel, who had challenged him, automatically won and became the new master of the 246th floor, earning the right to participate in the combat tournament. The next combat tournament would be held in five days. It was indeed a narrow but successful move on his part, almost missing the opportunity. 

As for Hisoka, Chrollo allowed him to stay. After all, with the plans the Troupe had in motion, having such a troublesome individual around would be a significant risk. He couldn't gamble with the safety of the entire Troupe. Besides, given the Troupe's strength, missing one Hisoka was inconsequential.

There wasn't much to pack, so Abel moved straight into the 246th floor.

Just as he was about to fulfill his promise of promoting the receptionist on the first floor to be his floor manager, the wall behind him suddenly shifted, revealing Hisoka's cold and ruthless face.

It turned out that since entering the room under Chrollo's guise, Hisoka had never left. Instead, he used his 'Bungee Gum' to blend into the wall, knowing that Chrollo would prioritize the Phantom Troupe's interests and abandon this place. In which case, Abel would be the one to move in next, at his most relaxed and least guarded moment.

Who could have guessed that he would hide in this room beforehand?

Taking advantage of the moment when Abel turned his back to make a phone call, Hisoka summoned a fresh playing card, imbuing it with 'Nen' to make its edge sharper.

He swiftly slashed at the back of Abel's neck, attempting to decapitate him!

Swoosh!

Abel had not anticipated Hisoka hiding there, but he sensed the danger as the attack commenced. With a mere thought, his Ice Dragon Armor and Armament Haki enveloped him securely.

Hisoka's card barely managed to slice through the thin layer of the Ice Dragon Armor and went no further.

"An unexpected attack. As a reward for trying, I'll make sure to get you the best doctor later," Abel said. "Also, the next part might hurt a bit, so bear with it."

Abel turned towards Hisoka, showing him a chilling smile. In the next moment, a vast amount of cold air spread from his feet, freezing the entire room and leaving Hisoka with nowhere to escape.

Shortly after, the receptionist received a call from Abel along with some perplexing requests.
