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

They, the Six Nightwalkers, originated from the Hundred Demons Organization of Yingren Country. It is a genuine and ancient tradition, and most of them are Nen users. They use the yokai from their hometown legends as their code names, which is incomparable to weak ninja organizations like the Cloud Village.

Due to mission requirements, the six of them outwardly betrayed the organization and, referencing the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons," adopted the name "Six Night Parades," forming a gang of thieves. Since they have only carried out one operation, they are currently only Class C criminals.

According to the ranking of yokai, Hyakume-ki is the leader and strongest among the six, followed by Kappa and Kage-o-Crocodile, and finally Nurikabe-level.

Just recently, two people of equal strength to Tu Bi were killed by gangsters. So their goal this time is to plunder the treasures at the auction and hunt down the gangsters to take revenge!

Chapter 47 Unexpected Turn of Events at the Auction! Is the Phantom Troupe Coming?

Meanwhile, at the villa where Nosla and others were temporarily staying.

"I don't care! I'm going!"

"I want to go to the auction!"

In the princess-themed pink room, a huffy Neon sat on the edge of the bed, frantically picking up all sorts of plush toys and throwing them at her father, Wright, as if a rain of plush toys was falling.

Beside her, Gastly floated in the air to exorcise Neon's spirits, while Lynn's puppet sat quietly drinking tea at the tea table in the room.

After several days of treatment, Nyon's spirits improved significantly, and she returned to her usual lively self.

Wright kept dodging, but was still hit in the face by a teddy bear. He reluctantly put the bear down and said earnestly, "Nion, it's not that I don't want you to go, but this time it's really dangerous."

"Your safety is the most important thing. The auction can be handled by the guards."

"Whatever you want, I'll have the guards buy it all!"

Upon hearing that her father absolutely forbade her from going to the auction, Neon puffed out her cheeks like a little squirrel hiding its grain, her jewel-like eyes brimming with tears as she stared at Wright, pouting.

Wright sighed, looked away, and quickly gave instructions to the maids and Dazo Nie on either side:

"You must take good care of the young lady and absolutely not let her leave!"

"Yes, I will definitely take good care of Miss," Dazo said loyally.

Wright nodded slightly. He trusted Dazoni's work. With him around, Neon's safety was absolutely guaranteed... He wasn't just keeping an eye on Neon, but also on that nameless master.

Ever since the nameless master came to him that night and they made a deal to eliminate his thoughts, he had ordered his men to investigate the other party's background.

No matter what, you have to find out more about the other party before you feel at ease.

But the results of the investigation were quite shocking.

This nameless master seemed to appear out of nowhere; there was no trace of his origins, and he always wore a black robe and a mask, deliberately concealing his appearance.

Despite their unease, they were powerless to do anything about it.

After all, without the intervention of the nameless master, Neon would be in mortal danger, a price he absolutely could not afford.

The final solution was that whenever the Nameless Master approached Neon, there should be guards by his side, ostensibly to help, but secretly to monitor him, in order to prevent Neon from being harmed.

Several days passed, and Neon was fine and in better condition, while the nameless master did not exhibit any strange behavior.

Aside from exorcising the spirits of Nion every day, she just eats and lives a normal life, spending most of her time in her room and appearing very well-behaved, which puts their minds at ease.

After Wright left, Neon continued to cause trouble, so Dazoni had to take over the task of calming her down. He patiently persuaded her, a job he was already very familiar with, since his young lady had a bad temper.

"You're all bullying me! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Neon, her eyes red, pushed them away, making sure Dazoni and the others stayed away from her, then turned to look at Gastly.

"Heh heh heh!" Gastly stuck out its tongue and made a face at her... This was Gastly's way of comforting her.

This is a universal action. Need to taunt an enemy? Make a face. Need to comfort an angry friend? Make a face!

“You’re so much better off; they’re all bad people,” Neo smiled.

To others, Haunter appears rather sinister and terrifying, like a long-faced black mist monster drifting around, which would likely frighten most ordinary girls.

But Neon is not a normal girl; her values ​​and preferences are very strange.

She was indifferent to life and death and liked specimens of various human organs... She even found Gastly creatures quite cute, and they had gotten along very well these past few days.

……

Inside the Capone Villa.

In the spacious living room, Lynn sat on a leather sofa, holding an enemy controller shaped like a game controller in his hand, and seeing the scene as seen by the puppet.

The puppet's perspective is only visible in game mode, allowing for precise control; it's not available in idle mode.

Lynn looked thoughtfully at Neon and Dazoni's conversation in his field of vision.

Over the past few days, through bits and pieces of information, he has roughly determined what happened.

Before being consumed by suicidal thoughts, Neon performed divination for several gang leaders and received similar death predictions. After analysis, she discovered that they were related to the auction, suggesting that something might go wrong at the auction.

The higher-ups wanted Neon to perform divination again to obtain more accurate information, but Neon was affected by death thoughts and was unable to perform divination at this time.

So the gang provided the only exorcist, which was the half-baked monk from that night, but he intercepted the job.

Because the auction was too rushed, and Neon had not yet fully recovered and there was no time for divination, Wright, just to be on the safe side, dared not let her precious daughter participate in the auction.

He wouldn't even dare to gamble on a one in ten thousand chance.

It didn't matter if other people died, but Wright would be extremely worried if Neon were to suffer even the slightest injury, not entirely out of love for his daughter.

More importantly, his daughter, Nio, represents whether he can maintain his current status in the future, or even go further.

Niweng's absence from the auction was not his concern; he was more interested in what would happen at the auction.

Neon's Nen ability is extremely accurate in divination, so there's a high probability that something bad will happen at this auction.

This reminded him of the Phantom Troupe's attack in the original work. Could it be that his time travel caused a butterfly effect?

Did the spider act ahead of time?

Lynn frowned, tapping his fingers on the coffee table as he pondered... It wasn't impossible; the butterfly effect was unpredictable. It could be that the Phantom Troupe had indeed made their move, or it could be a threat from someone else.

In conclusion, a wise person does not stand under a crumbling wall.

If he hadn't known, that would have been one thing, but since he knew there were risks involved in the auction, he cancelled his original purchase plan.

He had originally planned to be there in person, but now it seems better to let Capone pick a few people to participate, in order to minimize the risks.

Unfortunately, it's too late to withdraw the bid for the ancient sword and statue he submitted, and it's uncertain whether he'll ever get them back.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was evening.

The auction is about to begin.

As dusk fell and the sun set, an unexpected guest arrived in front of Capone's villa.

The man was tall and thin, with a spiky haircut and an unusually gaunt face, his cheeks even sunken, as if he had indulged in excessive sexual activity. Yet, his eyes revealed a sharp, wolf-like gaze.

"Who goes there?" the security guard on duty asked as he came out.

The sick dog, with its paws in its pockets, peered through the ornate iron gate into the villa, its mouth revealing unusually sharp teeth, and sneered: "This must be it... the Capone family."

The words had barely left his lips when a fleeting afterimage flashed by.

A line of blood appeared on the security guard's neck, and the next moment blood gushed out, and his body fell straight backward.

The sick dog withdrew its long, claw-like paws, pushed open the door, and slowly walked in, as if it were returning to its own home.

Because he has extremely high confidence in his own abilities!

Chapter 48 The Attack of the Shadow Beast Dog! Pokémon Antidote!

As Lynn predicted, things are likely to change at tonight's auction.

To address this issue, the Ten Elders dispatched three members of the Yin Beasts: Owl, responsible for transferring the auction items, and Sick Dog and Centipede, who were in charge of the attack.

In addition to the auction, the sick dog also received a private commission.

A familiar gangster asked him to teach the recently notorious Capone family a lesson, to show them what happens when they disobey.

So before the auction even started, he rushed to the Capone family's villa... It was just a second-rate gang, asking him to take action was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Let's resolve this quickly.

The sick dog seemed to have entered an empty place, and soon arrived inside the villa. Walking on the empty corridor, it exuded a cold aura.

Just then, Basho, who was on patrol, strode out from around the corner ahead. Upon seeing a stranger, he immediately became alert and reflexively activated [Gather]... The other person was a Nen user!

Moreover, judging from the level of Nen, it is clearly above his!

"Oh? There are Nen users too?" The sick dog picked at his ear with his little finger, still unconvinced, and mocked, "Yeah, Nen users of this level only deserve to be second-rate gangsters."

That guy!

The fact that I suddenly appeared here without receiving any alerts indicates that the external security system was dealt with extremely quickly.

Basho frowned and subconsciously pressed the alarm on his waist. His next task was to buy as much time as possible!

The sick dog yawned, looking very lazy.

He naturally noticed Basho's little actions, but he ignored them and didn't even bother to stop them.

What good would it do to notify others? Even if there were several more Nen users like Basho, he could still easily handle them.

The next moment, Basho's gaze hardened. He took out a haiku he had written beforehand and crushed it. His body suddenly felt lighter, and he rushed straight towards the sick dog, much faster than usual.

"My speed is incredibly fast, like the wind," he had just crushed a haiku, which successfully increased his speed.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the front of the sick dog, his right fist swirling with spiritual energy, about to strike the dog's face hard... His speed was enhanced in all aspects, including movement speed and attack speed.

However, the sick dog was faster than him!

The sick dog appeared beside Basho in a flash, casually raising his right hand to decapitate the latter with a chop to the neck.

Swah——

In a flash, an ice arrow hurtled towards the sick dog and struck its shoulder. The icy arrow pierced through Nian's defenses, and a chill that penetrated to the bone interrupted his attack.

The sick dog backed away a short distance, glanced at the bleeding shoulder, and then stared intently at Lynn and Capone, who were walking around the corner.

He only knew the latter, who, if he remembered correctly, was Caponebe himself.

As for Lynn, he was the one who had just attacked him, and Lynn subconsciously assumed that he was one of the Nen-wielding bodyguards from the Capone family.

Having been pulled back from the brink of death, Basho, disregarding her nervousness, hurriedly went to her boss's side, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He was a hired bodyguard, yet he had to rely on his boss to save him.

In the corridor, three people faced one person. While the sick dog sized them up, Lynn was also observing the guy who was killed by Uvogin in the original story.

Sick Dog, belonging to the Shadow Beasts Unit, consists of only ten people, each codenamed after an animal.

The Shadow Beasts were the most prized subordinates of the gang leader, the Ten Elders, and were basically the strongest in the world's mafia... Then they encountered the Phantom Troupe and were brutally killed.

Objectively speaking, this doesn't necessarily mean the Yin Beast is too weak; it's mainly because the comparison isn't appropriate.

Although the Phantom Troupe isn't considered extremely strong, as consistently active Class A criminals, their strength is far beyond that of Nen users like the Shadow Beasts, who are used to easily defeating weaker opponents.

Among the Shadow Beasts, Sick Dog's strength is among the top. The fact that he could break through Uvogin's skin shows that this Enhancement-type Nen user is quite skilled.

The reason why the sick dogs attacked them today is probably related to the "targeting from above" that Capone mentioned earlier.

Whatever the reason, now that the sick dog has come, it's not going anywhere.

"Would the infamous Yin Beast grace our little villa with its presence?" Lynn asked expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, the sick dog narrowed its eyes and said in an icy tone, "You recognize me? Regardless of how you know me, you know I'm a Yin Beast, yet you don't even think about running away. It seems you're quite confident in yourself?"

"Don't get carried away just because you succeeded in your sneak attack!"

After saying that, the sick dog flashed and appeared in front of Lynn like a ghost, opening its mouth to reveal its sharp teeth, about to bite Lynn's shoulder.

Lynn just injured his shoulder, and now he's going to return the favor exactly the same way!

Once he bites you, that person is guaranteed to lose!

His Nen ability greatly strengthens his teeth, making them much harder than steel, and also contains extremely potent neurotoxins that can render an opponent immobile within moments, turning them into lambs to the slaughter at his mercy.

Unfortunately, Lynn knew everything about his Nen abilities.

Transmigrators are born with a powerful intelligence advantage, which becomes even more pronounced in Hunter x Hunter, a world essentially a war of intelligence.
