I Am Not Really Related

Chapter 489: Pity

Yorknew City is a bustling yet decadent city.

However, it is also the gathering place of all treasures, with a considerable auction held every year between September 1st and 10th, attended by at least 50,000 people.

Just the admission ticket requires five million, Jenny!

The auction catalog sells for seven million Jenny!

It's simply robbery!

No, it's faster than robbery!

Just earning money from these admission tickets and auction catalogs each year is enough for the forces behind the auction to make a fortune.

Not to mention the various rare items auctioned off at the auction itself, adding up to an astronomical figure!

No wonder the Phantom Troupe, which rarely gathers, sets its sights on this auction.

The three hundred billion Jenny that Chrollo has is just a drop in the bucket.

After Gon, Killua, and Zushi completed their training in the Heaven's Arena, they were ready to set out independently.

The rest of the journey is up to them.

So, Zushi decides to report his gains over the past few months, confirm some things, and then search for the Dream Scroll.

Meanwhile, Gon and Killua return to Whale Island and find another clue from Gon's father, Ging-Greed Island.

After searching the Hunter website, they learn that Greed Island is an almost out-of-print game.

But it will be auctioned off at the underground auction in Yorknew City soon.

So, the two decide to find a way to make money while heading to Yorknew City.

...

On August 31st, the Phantom Troupe gathers.

Chrollo announces the plan for the operation, and everyone's expression remains unchanged except for Woogin, who gasps and shouts, "Doesn't that mean we'll be enemies with all the gangsters in the world?"

"What, are you scared, Woogin?"

Woogin's body trembles, and he grins, "I'm thrilled! I'm so thrilled, and I'm shaking all over! This is fantastic!"

The next day, the underground auction in Yorknew City begins.

The Phantom Troupe only deploys Feitan and Franklin, and they slaughter all the day's guests!

Strictly speaking, Franklin is the only one who takes action.

But to their surprise, the auction had already moved all the auction items in advance, leaving the Troupe members empty-handed.

Woogin suspects there's a mole, almost directly outing Hisoka's identity.

Machi thinks of [Ninjas], but it seems unlikely.

Then, on their way back, they are intercepted by the armed forces of the Ten Dons, even deploying four Shadow Beasts.

At the same time, due to the attack on the auction, the Ten Dons gathered together to welcome an uninvited guest.

The heavy door opens with a creak.

Under the moonlight, a trembling figure trembles under the gaze of the Ten Dons.

"What is it? Didn't I say no one is allowed to disturb us?"

Then the subordinate, sweating profusely, walks in holding a box, trembling, "Someone...someone asked me to bring this in."

Bang!

A gunshot!

The bullet hits the head, and then the person falls to the ground with eyes wide open, the box also falling to the ground.

"Go take a look."

One of the Ten Dons says casually.

Then, a Shadow Beast emerges from the shadows behind him and walks straight to the box.

After opening it, they do not find a bomb inside, but a card with writing on it.

After checking that there's no problem, he returns it and hands it to the old man who spoke earlier.

Upon opening it, his expression changes instantly.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, go take a look outside."

Nothing?

How could it be nothing?

Everyone realizes something is wrong, and their expressions are grave.

The last sentence addresses the Shadow Beast.

This Shadow Beast also looks confident, going outside to check the situation directly.

Thinking about it now, something is wrong because it's too quiet outside!

So many subordinates couldn't be without sound, and that guy couldn't push the door and come in so quickly.

Unless... 

The entire outside is filled with dead bodies!

The shadow beast was momentarily stunned. The scene before him truly exceeded his expectations.

Despite being separated by a door, they had somehow failed to notice that all the guards outside had been slaughtered, which was simply unbelievable!

So, what exactly was delivered just now?

Just as the shadow beast turned around to retreat, he suddenly found his perspective lowered, and an additional figure appeared before him.

The enemy!

It must be the one who killed everyone here just now!

But he desperately tried to shout, yet couldn't make a sound, and his body was ultimately out of control.

What kind of ghostly power is this?

When did I get hit?!

And for some reason, the more he looked, the more familiar the figure before him seemed...

Also, why doesn't this person have a head?

Wait, no head?!

Rolling...

His vision spun, and a head was thrown back, rolling to the feet of Ten Dons

When Haru stepped in, the headless corpse finally fell to the ground with a thud.

The Ten Shadow Beasts are the most vital force under the control of the Ten Elders, each one a Nen user.

But just at one glance, one of them had their head twisted off, dying without even knowing how they died.

It was simply a joke!

However, the Ten Shadow Beasts were among the best of Nen users, and compared to the real powerhouses, they seemed a bit lacking.

"Good evening, everyone."

Haru even greeted them as he stepped in.

Then, the elder, who had seen the box's contents, with a somewhat ugly expression, spat out two words, "Ninja?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the others also changed drastically.

The name "Ninja" represented a very different meaning in their eyes!

Everyone here knows me, that makes things easier. I have been commissioned to send you on your way, and I assume you've already received the death notice. Let's not waste any more time."

Death notices, Pandora's box, ninja...

Everything became clear!

But how did they end up offending this grim reaper?

"Who commissioned you to kill us? I'll pay double the price. Go kill him!" Someone said, desperately trying to be clever.

But...

"Double the price is indeed tempting, but we in this profession have rules to follow, so I have to complete the previous commission before I can proceed with the next one," Haru sincerely said.

He meant that he had to finish this commission before accepting the other party's commission to kill the Phantom Troupe.

But the problem is, can he still receive a commission if everyone's dead?

Well, probably not.

What a pity.
