Action

This must have been a full assembly of the Phantom Troupe before the main storyline began.

Moro wasn't sure of the exact time the Spiders gathered, only that it was around July or August.

It was also possible that the Spiders had already gathered and only started their actions now.

They had raided the National Treasure Hall of Navis...

Moro had some impression of the name Navis; it was a renowned and powerful civilization in ancient times, but due to a war that lasted thirty-eight years, its national strength eventually declined and fell...

Even in modern times, although the nation of Navis had preserved its legacy, that profoundly influential war had caused it to lose too much in the river of time.

What was truly regrettable was—

The prosperous cities of the past were ruined in the hands of enemies, yet they left behind many treasures in another form.

Although the nation of Navis was now weak, it had been dedicated to reclaiming its scattered national treasures in recent years.

These recovered treasures were uniformly housed in the National Treasure Hall in the capital of Navis.

One could imagine that the nation of Navis had put considerable effort into this.

The Phantom Troupe's raid on the National Treasure Hall had undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Navis.

"It must be to upgrade 'Master of Stealth'..."

Upon hearing the words "national treasure," Moro's first thought was that Chrollo was upgrading his ability.

Master of Stealth was a Specialization ability that could be upgraded.

It had a certain degree of similarity to Love's Practice Session, another Specialization ability.

In a sense, Moro controlling the upgrade ability from Growth Rings was also equivalent to possessing a Specialization ability.

The upgrade condition for "Master of Stealth" was likely stealing national treasure-level treasures, but while it was called stealing, it was often outright robbery...

After the main storyline began, the Phantom Troupe's attack on the Yorknew City auction also seemed to be for some national treasures at the auction.

In this regard, the other ability of Growth Rings, which was to absorb Nen from handicrafts, also had similarities to Master of Stealth in some ways.

After all, treasures bearing the name of national treasures would most likely be imbued with Nen.

Moro glanced at Kashi Toru and Calista, who were diligently trying to close their Aura Nodes, and then sent a message to Argo saying, "I'm here."

About a minute later, Argo replied with a short message.

"The Phantom Troupe attacked the Navis National Treasure Hall and looted all the treasures. The nation of Navis immediately dispatched troops to pursue the Phantom Troupe, but it ended in failure."

"The Phantom Troupe has currently left the borders of Navis. The confirmed intelligence is that they have fled into the territory of the neighboring Gugan Jade Great Country. Furthermore, Zoldyck assassins have also arrived in Gugan Jade Country, and he doesn't seem to be making any special effort to conceal his tracks."

Looking at the detailed intelligence sent by Argo, Moro immediately noticed some inconsistencies. He frowned and thought for a moment, and the image of Kortopi, the twelfth member of the Phantom Troupe, flashed through his mind.

Given Chrollo's tendency to make meticulous plans before acting, he should have considered Kortopi's Nen ability, which could replicate items, before deciding to target the Navis National Treasure Hall...

However, the Phantom Troupe chose a more brute-force method.

Never mind...

It wasn't important.

Moro shook his head and then hesitated about whether to go to Gugan Jade Great Country.

He wanted to kill Feitan.

But at this point in time, Feitan, and even the entire Phantom Troupe, had no interaction with him.

So, under normal circumstances, as long as he didn't actively approach the Phantom Troupe, there should be no risk.

"Argo, can you track the Phantom Troupe's movements in real-time?"

"It should be possible. The Phantom Troupe members are very confident. They entered Gugan Jade as stowaways, but they made no effort to hide themselves. As long as they don't go to some remote mountains and forests, I can keep tracking their movements."

"Okay, another question, do you have a way to contact the Zoldyck family's assassins?"

"I can try to approach it through the client and find a number to contact the Zoldyck assassins, but I can't guarantee if I can actually reach them."

"That's fine, I'll wait for your news."

"Alright, but as the client, I feel it's necessary to remind you not to be too hasty."

Moro looked at the last message from Argo and quietly put away his phone.

Asking if he could contact the Zoldyck assassins would inevitably allow Argo to see some of his intentions.

"I won't be hasty. The time left for me is not much, but I can't waste it either... The important thing is always how to use time."

Moro muttered to himself, then focused on the progress of Kashi Toru and Calista.

Perhaps it was the pressure of impending death—

In just a few minutes, Kashi Toru had already managed to suppress the rate of Nen leakage. It was estimated that in another minute or two, he would be able to learn Ten, which is to retain Nen.

In terms of talent, Kashi Toru should not be inferior to Killua or Gon, but he wasn't far behind either.

On the other hand, Calista was a bit weaker in talent, but she had already figured out the trick and was just one step away.

"Calista, use your imagination..."

Moro walked up to Calista and said calmly:

"Imagine 'Nen' is like blood circulating throughout your body, flowing from the top of your head to your shoulders, arms, waist, legs, and finally returning to your heart. Imagine you're bleeding heavily from your head; you have to press down hard, or you'll die from blood loss."

"…!"

Calista's tightly shut eyes twitched slightly.

Slowly, following Moro's concept, she gradually suppressed the Nen that was draining away.

A few minutes later.

Kashi Toru and Calista stepped over the threshold, having grasped the most basic form of Ten.

Moro looked at the two and asked, "How does it feel?"

Kashi Toru looked down at his hands and murmured, "It feels like… there's a layer of stiff paper stuck to me."

"I don't really feel anything,"

Calista lifted her legs a few times in place, a bright gleam in her eyes. "If I had to describe it, it feels like my body has become much lighter."

"This is the most basic of the Four Great Principles, Ten, and the first step to learning Nen abilities. From today on, you must maintain this state frequently."

Moro sized up their unstable Nen and, after a brief instruction, suddenly said, "I'm leaving for a while. I'll be gone before the end of today."

"Huh?"

"What?!"

Kashi Toru and Calista were both startled.

Moro ignored their reactions and continued, "Listen carefully. I'll only explain the basic Nen training methods once. You must remember them firmly and achieve the most fundamental goals before I return. If you can't, then simply disappear from my sight."

Kashi Toru and Calista's expressions grew serious, and they both nodded solemnly.

A little over an hour later.

Moro left Heaven's Arena and headed for the nearest airport.

He was going to visit the Gugan Jade Great Count
