Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 252 Accidentally
Moro was covered in the blood of many people.

There are Kubi's, there are Kuroro's...

And then there's Machi now.

Moro withdrew the Red Jade Bird Knife.

As the blade was withdrawn from Machi's body, several more spurts of blood sprayed onto her clothes.

Moro didn't care. He calmly watched Machi fall to the ground lifeless, then swung the Crimson Jade Bird Blade to shake off the blood.

"Still level 69..."

As he sheathed his sword, Moro glanced at the level symbol on the back of his hand.

When I killed Kubi, I felt that the experience gain wasn't much.

After killing Kuroro, I smoothly leveled up from Lv.68 to Lv.69.

I thought that if I could defeat Machi, I could directly reach level 70.

As a result, he only reached level 69.

From this perspective, once the level exceeds 70, the difficulty of leveling up will likely increase exponentially to an unimaginable degree.

After all, there are very few Devil Fruit users of Chrollo's or Illumi's caliber.

Even if some people go far on the path of spiritual practice through hard work, most of them, like Juezi Jue La, will stop progressing due to factors such as changes in the environment, personal needs, and talents.

Among these factors, talent has the most crucial influence.

Many Nen users, even if they give it their all and reach a certain level, still have to face the cruel reality that their talents are locked in.

Just like the gap between rich and poor, or differences in social status...

In this world called Hunter x Hunter, some things are destined from the moment of birth.

But if we look at it from another perspective, everyone has the right to learn and master "thought," which is also a kind of fairness.

"And then there's Uvogin and Nobunaga. Taking them out should get me to level 70."

Moro lowered his eyes, thinking silently to himself.

Starting from level 50, thanks to the Phantom Troupe as my prey and the reset effect brought by Death Rewind, leveling up was very smooth.

Only now, as he approaches the level 70 threshold, does he truly feel the impact of the experience point decay mechanism.

He has the growth rings of time, making it hard to imagine the difficulty of climbing to even greater heights in the future.

Therefore, it is even more difficult to imagine how a monster like Netero could reach the top through talent and hard work.

That process cannot be easily summarized in just a few words.

As Moro pondered, Kang Zai's gaze fell upon him.

Kang Jae lowered his eyelids, showing a hint of helplessness at Moro's sudden interference.

He was about to finish off his opponent, but Moro stole the kill.

However, he didn't care much about such things.

After all, he wasn't exactly a battle maniac. Due to the nature of his profession, most of the battles he experienced were fought passively.

"This group is quite powerful; it's a bit of an understatement to classify them as an A-level criminal organization."

Kang Jae looked at Machi's corpse on the ground.

Putting everything else aside, Machi's exquisite operating skills really impressed him.

Moro snapped out of his reverie, looked at Kang Jae, and thought to himself that it was indeed true to his name.

But he had gotten used to Kang Jae using the wrong idioms and had no intention of correcting him.

"The Phantom Troupe's bounty is quite high; we'll split it after the settlement."

Moro followed Kangzai's gaze and looked at Machi's corpse.

Previously, out of consideration for concealing his own abilities and to delay the Phantom Troupe's investigation, he disposed of the bodies after killing Feitan and the others, ensuring that his abilities were not exposed.

Now that we're just one step away from completely wiping out the Phantom Troupe, there's no need to dispose of the bodies.

In this way, the corpses of the troupe can be used to exchange for bounties.

Thinking about this, Moro suddenly felt that it was too extravagant to make Chrollo disappear into dust.

Is there any ability to restore those bits of flesh and bone into a corpse?
That might require a special ability.

Upon hearing Moro's offer to share the bounty, Kang Zai readily agreed.

He didn't help Moro for the bounty; in fact, he was a bodyguard hunter and a treasure hunter, and he wasn't short of money at all.

However, he knew Moro's style and knew that even if he clearly stated that he did not want the bounty, Moro would forcefully stuff it into his hands.

Finding this matter particularly troublesome, he simply agreed.

Moro shifted his gaze from Machi's corpse to the corpses of Kubi and the others.

Amanda, who recently joined the group, should not have a bounty on her head.

So, currently only Kubi, Pakunoda, and Machi can be redeemed for bounties.

I don't know how much money I'll have after taxes.

It's definitely not as much as 250 billion.

As Moro pondered this, he couldn't help but glance at Kurt, who was making a phone call not far away.

After resolving the Phantom Troupe issue, he planned to send Kurt back to Kukuroo Mountain, but he hadn't yet raised the remaining 250 billion in commission...

Moro shook his head slightly; there was no point in thinking about these things now.

He asked Kangzai to go to Kurt's place and help take Illumi to a nearby hospital.

He and Kurapika put Machi and the others' corpses together, but they wouldn't use them to exchange for the bounty for the time being.

After all, there are still Uvogin and Nobunaga to deal with.

If these corpses are used to exchange for the bounty money now, the department or agency in charge of the bounty will most likely start publicizing the matter.

If such an operation were to occur, Uvogin and Nobunaga would likely see these messages.

After gathering the bodies together, Moro remembered Hisoka, who was still unconscious.

He walked over and saw Hisoka lying peacefully on the ground, with a large, reddish-purple swelling around his eyebrow.

"You really don't learn from your mistakes."

Moro crouched down and examined Hisoka's injuries up close.

Clearly, the offensive opportunity that Chrollo painstakingly secured could very well be used to eliminate Hisoka.

But Hisoka reacted quickly, managing to buy himself some time to respond.

Even so, he was still knocked unconscious by Kuroro's attack.

This outcome is arguably Hisoka's own fault. He was warned last time to pay more attention to the terrain; since his abilities were at a disadvantage, he should have focused even more on this battle.

However, due to a "trivial" off-field factor, they lost their enthusiasm for fighting with all their might.

Moro dismissed his own involvement without any remorse.

"Kurapika, I'll take this guy to the hospital first."

Moro casually reached out and grabbed Hisoka by the back of his collar, then said something to Kurapika, who was standing not far away beside the corpse.

"it is good."

Kurapika responded.

Moro then dragged Hisoka to a nearby hospital.

After he settled Hisoka and dealt with the body with Kurapika, they went to the outside of the intensive care unit together.

Illumi, whose injuries were extremely severe, was brought here by Kalluto and is temporarily out of danger.

However, given Illumi's sensitive status, he will likely be moved immediately after Zivan arrives.

Morrow, finding Ilmi an eyesore, didn't go in and waited outside for Kurt to come out.

next to.

Leaving aside Kurapika, even Kangzai could sense Moro's disgust towards Illumi.

Suddenly, the door to the intensive care unit opened.

Kurt came out from inside.

Perhaps because Illumi was temporarily out of danger, Kalluto was no longer so panicked.

"Moro..."

Kurt strode up to Morrow, seemingly wanting to say something, but hesitated and didn't speak.

Morrow didn't want to talk about Illumi, so he stated his purpose first: "Kurt, I need the life-paper dolls of Uvogin and Nobunaga. They may arrive here at any time, and with the life-paper dolls, we can roughly know their movements and distances."

"Okay, I'll go prepare right away."

Kurt could sense Morrow's attitude and felt a pang of disappointment, but he quickly recovered.

Moro looked at Kurt's slightly drooping head and asked, "After Ziponian arrives, what are your plans? Are you going back with Ziponian, or..."

"I won't go back."

Kurt tilted his head back and interrupted Morrow without a second thought.

Upon seeing this, Moro hesitated for a moment.

He has decided to send Kurt home after dealing with Uvogin and Nobunaga.

If Kurt could go back with Ziponian on the way, that would be the best outcome.

But Kurt was clearly unwilling.

"it is good."

After hesitating, Morrow neither tried to persuade him nor told Kurt his decision.

The next day.

Kurt prepared life-size paper figures of Uvogin and Nobunaga for Morrow.

Judging from the reactions of the life paper figures, Uvogin and Nobunaga are currently not too far from here.

What surprised Moro was that Ziponian arrived at the hospital in the evening.

Upon seeing Yuyin and Wutong beside Ziponian, Moro immediately understood.

Presumably, it must have been Yuyin and Wutong taking turns as drivers that allowed them to arrive so quickly.

This also shows how much the Zoldyck family values ​​this matter.

“Ziponian, you have arrived.”

Kurt went to meet him.

Ziponian nodded to Kert, but his gaze fell on Moro, who was not far behind Kert.

Although she was only maintaining the "entanglement" state, she could vaguely see that Moro's mastery of "qi" had become more profound.

That's amazing...

Recalling his first encounter with Moro, Ziponian couldn't help but sigh inwardly, then asked, "How is young master Illumi?"

"There is no immediate danger to life."

Kurt replied.

Upon hearing this, Ziponian replied succinctly, "Alright, lead the way."

Kurt immediately led the way.

Yuyin and Wutong walked behind, their gazes subtly sweeping over Moro.

They didn't have Zipanian's sharp eyes and seasoned experience, but they could still sense the long and steady aura emanating from Moro.

This kind of demeanor alone is enough to make them take notice.

Yu Yin, in particular, was extremely surprised.

She had personally experienced Moro's prowess before, but back then, Moro felt to her like a sharp weapon with its edge fully exposed.

Seeing it again now...

Reserved and composed.

It should also be...

It has become even more powerful.

Ziponian and his group followed Kurt to the intensive care unit, where they saw Illumi's miserable state.

Although Kalluto had already reported to the family yesterday about Illumi's serious injury, seeing it with his own eyes now, he realized it was even more serious than he had imagined.

"Little Kalte, did you really 'accidentally' injure young master Illumi like this?"

Ziponian turned his gaze to Kurt beside him.

Kurt's eyes darted around, and he nodded, saying, "Yeah, it's all my fault."

"..."

Ziponian remained silent. After witnessing Illumi's injuries firsthand, how could he possibly believe such an explanation? He also roughly guessed what had happened.

The culprit was that boy, wasn't he...?
