Chapter Summaries

Neon learned about the Nostrade Family in this world and the circumstances of her father’s death, while Kurapika and Killua discussed her dangerous misfortune abilities. Neon left the night’s meetings determined to act, as the Mafia prepared for the day’s Auction and the Phantom Troupe faced the prospect of her curses.

• Neon left with the other-world Light Nostrade, then turned serious and asked Kurapika and Dalzollene to explain this world’s Nostrade Family.

The Phantom Troupe planned a two-part operation to honor Shalnark, recover his corpse, and seize the auction items while avoiding unnecessary risks from the Zoldyck Family and the Chain User. Meanwhile, Melody woke to find the Dark Sonata’s effects had been removed, and Neon examined the Nostrade Family bodyguards.

• Chrollo learned that three women and two boys connected to the auction had a spatial ability, and Hisoka reported that the Hunter Website held no information about them.

• Melody woke and realized that the Dark Sonata’s effects on her body had disappeared, then broke into tears as Kurapika rushed to check on her.
• Neon scrutinized the Nostrade Family bodyguards and observed that they were all Nen Ability users.

• Neon criticized the guards' abilities and Ren, then ordered Dalzollene to take Light Nostrade's body back while she attended the Auction with Kurapika, Melody, Basho, and Shachmono.
• Neon demonstrated a curse-like ability by controlling Dalzollene through a straw doll made with his hair, and explained that she could track her targets and hear what they said.
• Gon Freecss and his companions arrived, saying they wanted to help at the Auction as the Phantom Troupe's bounty had risen to four billion Jenie per member.
• Kurapika refused Gon Freecss and the others' offer to fight alongside them, but a call from Hisoka interrupted him.

Lucky studied the Dark Sonata and discovered that it opened a doorway to a dangerous realm, then stepped through after sending his Nen Beasts to the other world. In Yorknew City, Neon arrived at the Underground Auction and was confronted by Mafia boss Zenji.

• Lucky saw the destruction through Phoenix and ordered that Yorknew City not suffer too much damage.
