Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World

Under the deep darkness of night.

Kuroro, wearing a coat, subtly changed his expression.

Lynn's whereabouts have finally been found.

After making the decision to search for intelligence in the capital, they began looking for people suspected to be from the Reges royal family, and then used Paknotan's Nen ability to locate Lynn's position.

Fortunately, the Reges royal family did send some guards to maintain order. After they had targeted several people, they finally found someone who roughly knew Lynn's whereabouts.

He also wanted to find out information about Lynn's strength and abilities from these people's memories, but it seemed that Lynn had not revealed his strength during his time in the palace.

In the process, he also gathered some intelligence.

Tonight's events were indeed man-made, deliberately orchestrated by the Yingren Kingdom, an enemy of the Kingdom of Reges, and it is suspected that they made a deal with the Satan Clan.

While the Satan tribe was throwing the entire capital into chaos, the Yingren Kingdom took the opportunity to attack the royal palace, leaving the royal family preoccupied with their own problems.

In other words, now is the perfect opportunity for them to make their move against Lynn!

"Let's go, for revenge," Kuroro said calmly, then walked towards the south gate of the palace.

With blond hair and no eyebrows, wearing a tracksuit, Finks clasped his fists together and grinned maliciously, "I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time!"

"I'll make that damn Lynn taste the pain!"

"Feitan is the best at torturing people, so let him take the lead then."

Feitan, short in stature and always dressed in his unchanging black leather jacket, narrowed his eyes slightly: "I will torture him for three days and three nights!"

Behind him, Hisoka casually played with the cards in his hand, flipping them between his fingers until only two remained.

One King and one Queen.

Lynn and the Phantom Troupe, so... who is the true king?

Regardless, Hisoka was prepared to hide as soon as he arrived; at the very least, he didn't want to get involved in the fight.

If you're not careful and Lynn becomes the scapegoat, you're doomed.

His target is Chrollo after the Phantom Troupe has suffered heavy losses.

As Machi listened to the clattering of cards from Hisoka's side, her usually cool and aloof expression grew even colder. The irritation within her not only didn't subside, but intensified with the passage of time...

Hopefully, she's not overthinking it.

The baby-faced swordsman sitting on the hood of the car casually sent a message, then jumped off and followed the group.

Under the dim streetlights, the ten shadows grew longer and longer.

What awaited them ahead was an unimaginable hell.

……

Above where Kuroro and the others were, a person stood on a winged figure, watching Kuroro begin to move below.

The two are none other than Wrath and Gluttony, two of the Seven Deadly Sins!

Enraged was a large, burly man with a rugged face and a thick beard. He was shirtless, revealing his incredibly strong physique. He looked like a carbon copy of Uvogin, and his distinctive features made him instantly recognizable as an Enhancer.

Below him, his companion serving as his aerial mount, is Gluttony.

"Hahaha! This so-called spider is actually somewhat useful!"

"I never thought I would find Lynn's whereabouts on my own."

"I was even planning to tell them myself," he roared furiously. "Looks like they can search other people's memories. Not bad. Take them back to the boss!"

"That Satan tribe of some kind is nothing! They talk big, but Lynn still took care of them!"

"It still takes the Seven Deadly Sins to make a move!"

Below, Gluttony had a pair of fleshy wings on its back, and its exposed skin was not human-like, but rather some kind of dark green scales. Upon hearing this, Gluttony drooled from the corner of its mouth.

I want to eat...

Rage glanced at Gluttony beneath him. After spending so much time together, he knew what Gluttony was thinking without even asking.

"You can eat some, but you can't eat it all."

"The boss will blame us! Hahahaha!"

"Let's go, follow behind them."

After saying that, Gluttony, carrying Rage, followed Kuroro and the others.

Let Kuroro and the others weaken Lynn further first, then the two of them can take the opportunity to strike!

……

Inside the royal palace.

Inside the palace, deep within, the lights were dim.

The room wasn't large, and the walls were covered with intricate patterns that were faintly visible—divine script containing defensive effects.

The tall and imposing King Gates and Amy sat on the platform, their spiritual energy surging.

At the center is an unidentified object resembling a human figure, which acts as a connection, allowing King Gates to pass on his legacy to Amy.

Outside the palace gates, a middle-aged woman stood guard. She was another A+ level expert from the Reges royal family and never left the area.

She knew that nothing was more important than the ceremony proceeding as planned.

The ceremony is still ongoing.

……

01: 20.

The night was endless.

Kuroro and the others arrived at the south gate of the palace.

Looking through the now-defunct entrance, they saw a brand-new, smooth floor. Behind them stood a young-looking blond man wielding two swords, glaring angrily at them.

Behind him were nine steps. Lynn sat calmly and gracefully on the steps, raising his wine glass to his lips and slowly taking a sip. To his side and behind him stood Leorio, holding his sword.

The three of them, master and disciples, thus welcomed the arrival of the spider!

Because the site wasn't very aesthetically pleasing, Lynn had Tsunade use Earth Release ninjutsu to slightly modify it, at least making it flat.

It's great to finally meet you all!

幻影旅团！

Kurapika, standing at the very front, unconsciously gripped his twin swords, his face tense, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

Beneath the colored contact lenses were a pair of incredibly red eyes. Facing the enemy who had wiped out his clan, he simply couldn't remain calm!

Lynn looked at the group of ten people, each face familiar yet unfamiliar to him, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. This day had finally come.

Kuroro, Kubi, Pedro Lev, Pakunotan, Shizuku, Machi, Feitan, Phinks, Shalnark, and Hisoka, a total of ten people.

Aside from the puppet knight, and Machi and Hisoka whom he had met before, he was seeing the other seven people for the first time.

Oh no.

He had previously fought Kuroro in a fantasy simulation.

"Tch! Only three people?" Feitan complained dismissively.

Three people were not enough for him to vent his anger!

"Hahaha! Feitan, just vent all your frustrations on him later." Phinks patted Feitan on the shoulder, then pointed to Lynn on the stairs.

There were only three people, which was a bit disappointing, but fortunately the intelligence was correct; Lynn was indeed at the South Gate.

As for the other two, they didn't take them seriously at all.

Kuroro's expression suddenly changed as he looked at Lynn and his two disciples. He felt something was off; they seemed too calm.

The blond man, whom I remember was Lynn's apprentice, was visibly excited, but I didn't know why.

Lynn remained expressionless, showing little reaction to their arrival. Did he simply consider them enemies of Yingren Kingdom?

Let's test the waters first.

Kuroro said, "You must be Lynn."

Although it was a question, it was phrased with certainty.

"You killed two members of the Phantom Troupe."

"You probably didn't expect us to make a move at this time."

Kuroro spoke slowly and deliberately, his gaze calmly fixed on Lynn, who remained unresponsive, as if listening to something that had nothing to do with him.

Did he know beforehand?

Or is it simply that they are good at keeping their composure?

Seeing Lynn's reaction, the other members, especially Feitan and the others, who were already short-tempered and filled with anger, became even more furious.

Before Kuroro could speak again, Lynn suddenly spoke up, holding up two fingers:

You got two things wrong.

"First, I killed not just two Phantom Troupe members, but three. I also killed Franklin."

"Secondly, I knew you were coming."

"Kuroro."

After he finished speaking, everyone's expression changed slightly, still reeling from the shock Lynn had brought.

Lynn said he killed three members, which means he also killed Franklin!

Not only that, he also knew they were coming. How did he know that?

Lynn seems to know a lot of information... Kuroro's gaze sharpened, and he subconsciously glanced at Hisoka at the edge of the group, not ruling out the possibility that someone had tipped him off.

These words put everyone on high alert. Lynn's few words conveyed a great deal of information to them: first, Lynn had killed Franklin, and had three lives on his hands.

Secondly, since Lynn dared to face them like this, it means he was confident, either because he believed he could deal with them, or because he had an ambush.

Feitan uttered a string of incomprehensible words, his anger reaching its peak. He never imagined that even Franklin would die at Lynn's hands.

Only then do they speak in a way that others can understand.

"There are only three of them, don't get too cocky! You bastard!"

Lynn shook his head and sighed:

"When did I say there were only three people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, flashes of white light appeared one after another on the field, and different auras spread out, making people's hearts tremble.

An eerie pale pink mist rose up on the field.

It's not very clear.

First, a rich aroma of delicious food wafted into everyone's nostrils.

Accompanied by a dragon's roar.

"Roar!"

Kuroro and the others looked to the left of the stairs, which was to the lower left of Lynn.

Dragonite patted its belly and let out a roar that contained the might of a dragon. Beside it was Erina, who was feeding Dragonite food.

"Genki!" Gengar jumped out and chuckled, patting Dragonite's belly, indicating that if it ate any more, Dragonite's belly would explode.

At this moment, conversations came from the platform above the stairs, and wisps of demonic mist drifted out, the mist being generated by them.

"Lady Demon Blade, who are they?"

"They are the Phantom Troupe, Class A criminals, a group of people who aren't very strong and can only bully weaklings."

"I see."

Everyone quickly looked up and saw the four yokai—Yoto Hime, Yuki Onna, Zashiki-warashi, and Zashiki-warashi—standing on the platform in a row, exuding a powerful yokai aura.

Just now, it was Yoto Hime and Zashiki-warashi talking.

"Are you kidding me? So many of them are Nen Beasts?" Pakunotan exclaimed in surprise, almost unable to believe his eyes. "And they're all quite powerful!"

Just by feeling the aura they exude, you can tell they are no weaklings!
