Uvogin, exhausted after wiping out the Mafia pursuers and Shadow Beasts, faced Kurapika’s ambush until Luo Ye dropped into the crater and provoked him.

After escaping the Phantom Troupe, Luo Ye learned that Kurapika had gone alone to fight Uvogin in the Gon Desert. Luo Ye brought Gon, Killua, and Leorio to watch as the deadly duel began.

• Luo Ye took Gon, Killua, and Leorio to a cliff overlooking the battlefield and watched with snacks and binoculars.
• Uvogin and Kurapika collided in the desert, beginning their fight.

Kurapika used Emperor Time to overpower Uvogin after blocking Big Bang Impact, then trapped him with a hidden chain and attacked him relentlessly. From a nearby cliff, Luo Ye recognized that Emperor Time was shortening Kurapika’s life, while the fight continued as a one-sided assault.

• Uvogin unleashed Big Bang Impact, but Kurapika activated Emperor Time and blocked the attack with a conjured shield.
• Uvogin recognized Kurapika as a survivor of the Kurta Clan and admitted he had taken part in the massacre.

• Luo Ye stopped watching with amusement and noted that every second Kurapika used Emperor Time cost him an hour of his life.

Kurapika killed Uvogin after the Phantom Troupe member refused to answer his questions, but revenge left Kurapika feeling empty. Luo Ye and the others left the wilderness with him, while Kurapika continued along the path of revenge.

While Kurapika lay unconscious from the backlash of his vow, Luo Ye urged Gon and Killua to stay out of the Phantom Troupe’s massacre. After a broadcast showed Zeno Zoldyck and Silva Zoldyck entering the battle, Luo Ye persuaded Gon and Killua to leave the hotel and watch the fight from a nearby rooftop.

• Luo Ye told Gon and Killua that the Phantom Troupe’s rampage was too dangerous to confront and that they should focus on caring for Kurapika.

• Zeno and Silva ended the job and left Chrollo alive, while Luo Ye praised their professionalism.

After the Zoldyck Family left, Luo Ye brought Gon, Killua, and Leorio back to the hotel, where Kurapika was recovering and the news falsely declared the Phantom Troupe defeated. Chrollo reunited with the surviving Troupe members and revealed he had gained Lovely Ghostwriter, intending to use it to learn the Spider’s future.

• Luo Ye explained that the Zoldyck assassins stopped fighting after their employer died, then led Gon, Killua, and Leorio away from the chaos.
• The group returned to the hotel, where Leorio found that Kurapika’s fever had broken and he was out of danger, though still weak.
• A news bulletin claimed the Mafia had killed five Phantom Troupe members, including their leader, and declared Yorknew City’s nightmare over.
• The surviving Phantom Troupe members gathered in the ruins and worried because Chrollo was missing.
• Chrollo returned unharmed, revealed that he had acquired Lovely Ghostwriter, and said he wanted to see the Spider’s future.

• Chrollo wrote prophetic verses for the Phantom Troupe members, and Shalnark reacted uneasily to his warning about dangerous phone calls.

• Kurapika woke after two days and learned from Gon that the news claimed the Phantom Troupe had been wiped out.
• Kurapika saw footage of charred bodies and felt empty, believing Mafia members had taken his revenge from him.
• Luo Ye argued that the bodies were fake because they lacked lingering Nen aura, restoring Kurapika’s killing intent.
