When A Luo received Hisoka's message, she was on her way to find Kurapika.
Although she had been unable to get any information about the Spiders' hideout from the mafia's intelligence network lately, A Luo had managed to contact Kurapika during that time.
It had been just that afternoon.
Kurapika had already accompanied Neon to a hotel in Yorknew City owned by the Nostrade family.
When Kurapika received A Luo's call, he was surprised at first.
"A Luo? Why are you calling me? Are Gon and Killua with you? Have you come to Yorknew City too?"
Tomorrow was September 1, the day of the Yorknew City mafia's underground auction-and the day the Phantom Troupe had agreed to rob it.
It was time to tell Kurapika her secrets.
With her eyes lowered, A Luo told Kurapika everything she had gone through over the years, leaving nothing out.
Because she had once been forced to keep company with the Spiders, she had thought Kurapika might resent her for it.
Instead, the boy on the other end of the phone suddenly spoke to her with unexpected gentleness.
"A Luo, these past few years must have been hard on you."
A Luo froze.
"Hiding who you were among people like that, struggling with everything you had just to stay alive, and that feeling of wanting revenge even at the cost of your life-I understand all of it. A Luo, you don't need to worry that I'll hold anything against you. And don't be afraid... even if you don't work with me this time, that's fine. Tell me what you know, and I'll help you get rid of those Spiders."
"I'll do it even if it costs me my life! A Luo, don't worry. I promise those people will never interfere with your life again."
