Marriage Pact X Next One

Kurapika won, but he also lost.

Chrollo is dead... but after being pierced in the heart by the Chain, he showed no fear or panic, just like Uvogin in the original story. Instead, he said something to Kurapika, but Oboro was too far away to hear it.

All he saw Kurapika's stiff face as he knelt on the ground after executing the Phantom Troupe leader.

He covered his face with his hands, choking back sobs and tears...

Including what he said to Kurapika earlier, it was also Chrollo's insight into the weakness of the boy's mind. Even death added another layer of shadow to his tragic and painful memories.

This is the Spiders, this is the Phantom Troupe.

The initial members of the Phantom Troupe embodied this will too purely.

Uvogin is, and so is Chrollo.

Meanwhile, David had already calmed down the group of Mafia and explained the whole story to them.

The ruthless Phantom Troupe infiltrated the banquet and murdered the Ten Dons ... And the blond boy who killed the Phantom Troupe leader is named Kurapika, employed by the Fills Family. In other words... thanks to the Fills Family's skilled fighters, otherwise... the Mafia might have suffered a complete loss of face today.

The four Shadow Beasts also echoed and testified to the truth of David's words.

This made it perfectly natural for David to take charge of the territories of the Six Continents... The Mafia bosses looked at each other, but did not object.

They knew there was something fishy going on, but they dared not make a sound, because the Shadow Beasts before them clearly followed the Fills Family's lead. If any of them dared to step forward, they probably wouldn't leave alive. Moreover, given the Fills Family's prestige and capabilities, they were indeed capable of taking on a major role.

It wasn't just the Ten Dons who died; the bigwigs of the corporations and the heads of the families under their command also perished.

Once this news spreads, the underworld will inevitably change... None of those in the underground are content. Although the higher-ranking people are dead, many smaller families still have influence. Without a leader, some ulterior motives are bound to arise.

Who doesn't want to climb higher? The Republic of Padokea is the territory of the Fills Family... but outside this continent, the emperor is far away, and no matter how far the Fills Family extends their reach, their influence is limited.

I'm afraid that after today, many new forces will spring up like mushrooms after rain.

Then we'll see how the Fills Family responds.

Soon, the gangsters got to work, cleaning up the mess inside the palace.

Kurapika stared blankly at the dead Chrollo, feeling no joy at having killed his enemy; instead, he felt even more pain.

Several Mafia in suits walked over, glanced at him, and without saying a word, carried Chrollo's body away... They wanted to take pictures, keep it as a memento, and even make the remains of the Spiders's leader public. In short, once you fall into the hands of the mafia, you won't even have peace in death.

They needed to let outsiders know what happens when you offend the mob, and incidentally spread the word about the Fills Family's reputation.

Make an example of him! "Boss!"

Several other gangsters walked up to Oboro and Illumi, glanced at Hisoka on the ground, and greeted them.

They didn't recognize Oboro, assuming he was just a member of the Fills Family, and addressed him by his usual title.

It was indicated that Hisoka should be carried away and burned.

"Keep this for now," Long replied.

"Yes."

Immediately, the gang members turned and left to deal with other bodies.

"Hmm... he's already dead."

"I'm absolutely certain, he died right before my eyes. Should I take a picture and send it to you?"

Beside him, Illumi was talking to someone on his phone.

It's obvious without even thinking that it's Silva and Zeno, Chrollo is their employer... Once the person is confirmed dead, the money doesn't need to be refunded.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Illumi put his phone away, looked at Oboro, and said, "Mission complete, I'm leaving."

At this moment, Kalluto Zoldyck, who had been hiding nearby without showing himself, also approached his older brother. The boy, dressed in a black kimono, holding a paper fan, and with a face as delicate as a porcelain doll, looked at Oboro with curiosity.

This was the first time he had met Oboro.

A few years ago, when Oboro went to Kukuroo Mountain, he did not see the youngest member of the Zoldyck Family.

"Aren't you going to wait a little longer?"

He smiled.

"Um..."

Illumi pondered for a moment, then said bluntly, "To be honest... he's already dead, isn't he? I admit that the Nen of the dead can do some things... but in his condition, if he had the chance to come back to life, he wouldn't have waited until now."

"Bye-Bye!"

After saying this, Illumi waved his hand and walked away with his younger brother.

Then, they both suddenly sped up, turning into black shadows and disappearing from the spot.

"Glug."

No sooner had Illumi left than... Oboro heard a strange sound.

Looking down, I saw a small blood bubble coming out of Hisoka's mouth.

If there is air... that means there is breathing.

Even the faintest... is still a sign of life.

Then, the next second.

The dead body, which was originally lying in a pool of blood, was lifted off the ground like a spring, rising more than a meter high.

Hisoka, his face completely disfigured and covered in thick blood, resembled a demon with extremely fierce eyes... Almost the instant he regained consciousness, he assumed a fighting stance, his aura violent, as if he wanted to destroy everything around him.

Looking at Hisoka who had stood up again, Oboro, who was still squatting, yawned, not surprised at all.

He waved his hand casually, reassuring her, "Don't be nervous, there are no enemies."

Hearing the familiar voice, Hisoka snapped out of his daze, but he couldn't speak because the murder weapon was still stuck in his throat.

He simply met Oboro's gaze.

"How pathetic... It was completely one-sided, we were made a fool of," Oboro joked.

Hisoka smiled too.

But when he laughs now, it's terrifying... His facial features have been shattered by Chrollo's impact.

Aside from the eyes and mouth, which are still visible, the rest of the nose, cheekbones, etc., are broken or displaced.

It looks terrible.

Hisoka ignored Oboro's sarcasm, reached out and grabbed the sharp stick on his neck, and pulled it out with a "plop" under Oboro's gaze... No blood splattered out, only leaving a clearly visible hole in his neck.

Immediately afterwards, he tore off a piece of clothing and used the Texture Surprise to cover the wound.

It looks exactly like real skin.

After doing all this, he raised his fingertips, Nen power formed two characters in the air.

Where are they?

"Look... he wiped your butt. Chrollo is dead and has been taken away. If you want to vent your anger on his corpse, you can go look for him," Oboro said calmly.

Is he really dead?

The Nen emanating from Hisoka's fingertips underwent a transformation.

"He was killed in a different way than you, so there is no possibility of him being resurrected."

Long replied.

Chrollo's soul and the fallen black mist have both been taken by him...

Oboro's gains from tonight's game were quite considerable.

I also saw some interesting scenes.

Never mind then...

Hisoka glanced at Kurapika kneeling in the distance.

Machi?

"I let her leave, she shouldn't have gone far... she went to find Uvogin and Nobunaga."

Swoosh.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hisoka, seemingly oblivious to his severe injuries, immediately vanished.

They didn't even say thank you.

Long chuckled silently.

He discovered that Hisoka's relationship with Machi was indeed somewhat different from that of the other Spiders.

Were they going to kill Uvogin and Nobunaga?

Maybe...

But this battle at least transformed Hisoka's Nen... just like when he completed the difficult mission assigned by Netero.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hisoka should be able to advance to the level of a sub-world-class Hunter x Hunter in a while.

But Chrollo is dead, so who is Hisoka's next target? Oboro slowly stood up and walked towards Kurapika.

Hisoka is the kind of person who can't stay still...

Oboro was certain that he wouldn't be next, because Hisoka wasn't that stupid...

Besides him, there's another person... who has always been very attractive to Hisoka.

It's... Illumi.

In the original work, the two were engaged, which was actually a kind of vow.

Agreement.

To help each other achieve success through our shared beliefs.

However, according to Oboro's memories, the outcome of the two battles is still undecided; they simply board the Black Whale from the Kakin Empire bound for the Dark Continent.

Based on various pieces of information and some hidden foreshadowing and intelligence, Illumi is more likely to lose.

To lose means to die.

Oboro was interested because it wasn't just Hisoka who had changed.

That guy Illumi must have done something.

Their fates were both changed...

This also foreshadows... that everything is heading towards the unknown.
