"Are you worried about the airship crashing?" Kurapika walked over.
Before boarding the spaceship, Jingyang specially obtained a few more parachute backpacks and had Xiaodi store them with the bulging-eyed fish, just in case.
Kurapika recalled, "The most recent accident I heard about, I think, was in February..."
Haha, we were there during the one you mentioned in February!
Jing Yang smiled without saying a word, wondering if developing transformation abilities would allow him to conjure up two wings and increase his means of flight.
Unfortunately, I'm a manipulation type, and my weakest skill is the diagonal transformation type...
Should we consider getting a small one?
Two wings sprouted from the sides of the bulging-eyed fish's head, which had a gaping mouth... The spaceship exploded, and Shizuku, clinging to the bulging-eyed fish that resembled a magical girl's wand, glided through the sky...
Seeing Jingyang looking at her, Xiaodi tilted her head, a question mark appearing above her head in confusion.
……
Two hours later, the airship landed smoothly at the airport in Waterloo City, and the parachute backpack that had been prepared in advance was not needed.
Kurapika sheathed the two nunchaku-like wooden swords behind his back, which were perfectly concealed by his loose-fitting Kurta tribe coat.
Jingyang gave Xiaodi and Kurapika two photos of their target, Neil Chadman.
“Since this guy happens to have three houses and three activity locations, let’s split up and each of us will go to one location to find him.” Jing Yang then sent them Chadman’s address on his phone. “Shall we assign them?”
Kurapika said, "I'm going to the one in Triumph Street."
According to the records they found, Chadman's most recent spending was around this house, and his medical records were also concentrated here.
"Then I'll go to Lanxi District." Xiao Di glanced at her phone.
"Then I'll take the one that's left." Jingyang said, tossing something to Kurapika.
Kurapika instinctively reached out and caught it. When he realized it was a ring, he frowned. But when he looked closely, he saw the engraved pattern on the ring and guessed what it was. He looked up at Jingyang.
“Zhuque, Bing.” Jingyang smiled. “It’s a minor language, you don’t recognize it, do you? Look at the inside of the ring, isn’t there a crescent moon pattern? As long as your skin touches this crescent moon pattern, we can make contact—like telepathy, or ‘brain telephone’.”
He raised his hand and gestured to the same style ring on his index finger.
Kurapika looked at Shizuku, who also had one on her finger.
Seeing him looking at him and Xiao Di with a hesitant expression, Jing Yang asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"
"It's alright." Kurapika put on the C-ring, and after concentrating his thoughts, he was able to trigger the crescent moon mark on the ring. Two other crescent moon marks that he could intuitively communicate with appeared in his mind, and he understood immediately.
Soon, Kurapika left first.
Jingyang and Xiaodi belatedly realized what was happening, exchanged a glance, and looked at the rings on each other's fingers. "Did he mistake our rings for matching couple rings before...?"
“Possibly,” Little Drop said.
Jingyang smiled and gently touched the ring on Xiaodi's finger with his own. "Let's go, see you later."
"Ah."
The two then split up and acted separately.
……
With Jingyang's current stamina and speed, he could walk from east to west and back through the entire town without feeling tired.
Besides, he's not short of money now; he can just take a taxi...
Half an hour later, Jing Yang arrived at his assigned location, which was in a somewhat old residential area. Jing Yang first took the elevator up to check and found that no one was there. Then he wandered around inside and outside the residential area.
"If you find the target, turn the ring with the character '甲' on it once."
Jingyang had a sudden thought and gave himself an order.
The star behind his neck immediately activated, and the light in his eyes gradually faded...
Without much trouble, half an hour later, Xiao Di's voice came from Jing Yang's mind, bringing him back from his slacking off.
I saw him.
[Okay. Little Drop, you keep an eye on things for now.] Jingyang canceled the self-control of the starred contact. He really did say "see you in a bit"! He sat up from the park bench. [Kurapika, you come too.]
……
Waterloo, Lancy district.
In a shop across the street, Neil Chadman and several companions were talking about something. The shop owner kept wiping his sweat with a towel, then shakily rummaged through the cash register, took out several bundles of banknotes tied with rubber bands, and handed them over. Chadman smiled and put them in his pocket. His companions, cursing and swearing, smashed the glass counter, took a pack of cigarettes and a bag of chewing gum, and left the shop laughing.
"What a shameless person! He actually dares to talk back to Brother Nair, tsk!"
"These good-for-nothings deserve a good beating!"
"Hahaha."
The group of men walked along, smoking and chatting. Ahead, a young man leaned against a wall, seemingly waiting for them, and looked over.
"Who is this kid?"
While his companions were making a ruckus, Neil Chadman suddenly felt a pang of unease. The boy's eyes, his demeanor... he was very perceptive, having spent so much time in the gang.
Out of the corner of his eye, Niall noticed a black-haired girl with glasses crossing the street and walking towards them.
What's going on? Something's not right...
Niall turned around, but suddenly stopped in his tracks. He saw a blond boy with an expressionless face walking towards him not far behind him.
He stared intently at the blond boy's clothes, then suddenly turned and ran.
Chapter 111 This is just too unruly!
There's no way you can run away.
The next second after Nair took off running, he felt a sudden weight on the back of his head, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he was found in a dead end of an alley. The people who had surrounded him on three sides of the street were standing in front of him, while his companions had disappeared.
"Let's talk this out!" Neil quickly raised his hand, huddled behind the wall, and asked nervously, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"
Jingyang gestured for Kurapika to begin.
Kurapika raised his hand and materialized the fourth volume of "Revelation," opening it in his hand and coldly staring at Nell, "Your name is Nell = Chadman."
“Yes, it’s me.” Niall nodded quickly, staring blankly at the book that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in his hand.
Kurapika then showed him the book.
Niall's pupils contracted as his own face appeared on the page! Although it was a portrait, a simple sketch with simple lines, he recognized it as himself!
“It turns red whenever you lie,” Kurapika said. “You can try saying you’re not Nair Chadman.”
“I…” Nair swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He smiled bitterly, “Brother, just ask me whatever you want. I promise, I’ll tell you everything I know.”
boom!
Kurapika thrust out his palm, slicing it into the brick wall as easily as cutting tofu.
"Okay, listen."
As Nell's face grew paler under his gaze, Kurapika placed his palm against Nell's left arm and turned the open page of the Book of Revelation, featuring Nell's image, towards him. "Next, I'll ask you questions. If you lie, the illustrations in the book will turn red. Once they turn red, your hand will be severed. Understand?"
Nair gritted his teeth and nodded repeatedly.
"Tell me, how many pairs of Scarlet Eyes have you ever obtained?"
"One, a pair..."
"Where are you now?"
"I...I...I sold it." Noticing Kurapika's eyes sharpening, Nile hurriedly said, "Really! What use was that thing to me? I sold it after only a few days!"
"Who did you sell it to?" Kurapika's tone was frighteningly calm.
"I don't know!" Nair protested. "How could this kind of business—ah!!!"
He screamed in agony as Kurapika snapped his left arm without hesitation, the bone cracking with a crisp sound. The pain caused him to break out in a cold sweat, his veins throbbing.
Niall saw that, as expected, his sketch on the page of the book that had appeared out of thin air in the blond boy's hand had turned red after he had lied.
"If you lie again..."
Kurapika moved his palm to Nell's chest, his eyes finally turning a fiery red. "Tell me, who did you sell it to?"
"Sold to the Bonaron family!" Nair exclaimed hastily. "I sold it to their young master! I really didn't lie to you!"
……
"The Bonaparte family, a mafia family?"
In a recent internet cafe, Jingyang quickly found information about this gang family by browsing the Hunter website.
The Hunter world has ten major criminal gangs spread across several continents, and their leaders are collectively known as the Ten Elders.
Beneath these ten major gangs, there are naturally many medium and small-sized gangs. The Nosra family, for which Kurapika works in the manga, is an example of this type. The Bonaron family is similar. The Republic of Minbo, or rather the entire continent of Evorica, is one of the top ten gangs, with two of the Ten Elders dominating the underworld. Smaller and medium-sized forces like the Bonaron family simply follow these two bosses and make a living.
The headquarters of the Bonaparte family is located in this city of Waterloo.
This is easy to handle.
In the Hunter world, gangs are a legal business—as long as their illegal activities aren't caught. Their headquarters are naturally easy to find.
Nair was forced to lead the way, and soon led them to a building that looked quite ordinary.
From the main entrance, apart from the few burly men dressed in black and wearing sunglasses who didn't look like proper security guards, it wasn't much different from an ordinary office building.
The burly man in sunglasses who was guarding the door saw Nell leading three young men toward them and stopped them, raising his hand to signal them to stop.
"Are you blind?!" Nair suddenly sprang to his feet, his still-functioning right fist delivering three swift punches to the burly man's chest, yelling, "This is someone who wants to talk to the young master! Go and inform the young master! Delaying business can lead to someone's death!"
The burly men in sunglasses remained expressionless. The one in front looked at Jing Yang and the other two, while the one behind spoke into a walkie-talkie, nodded to the others, and stepped aside.
Stepping into the office building and walking through the empty lobby, Kurapika suddenly asked in a cold voice, "You just punched him three times. Was there some meaning behind that?"
Xiao Di said, "He himself is a member of this gang, isn't he?"
At this moment, two groups of gangsters poured out from the passageways on both sides of the hall, all raising their pistols and pointing them at Jing Yang and his three companions. The leader, wearing sunglasses, said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, our young master is waiting for you. Please."
Jing Yang glanced around at the dark gun barrels and said, "I think it would look more dignified if we went up ourselves. What do you think?"
