Watching it happen with her own eyes, A Luo burst into delighted laughter.
Hisoka, you bastard, even you had a day like this!
Only after watching Hisoka sheepishly pick up the clothes he had just taken off and return, dejected, to the Airship where Pakunoda was waiting did A Luo look away.
But after enjoying Hisoka's humiliation, A Luo couldn't help casting a distant glance at Pakunoda.
This time, Pakunoda would probably still choose to sacrifice herself!
Looking at Kurapika, A Luo pressed her lips together and said nothing more about the Spider.
Things had reached this point, and Kurapika was in bad shape. She herself was covered in injuries. Continuing the fight would only leave both sides badly hurt.
They might as well do as Chrollo's Prophetic Poem had said.
Let's enjoy this rare intermission first!
That thought lasted only until the next day, when A Luo began regretting having shown Chrollo mercy.
Of course, it hadn't entirely been a matter of mercy on her part!
Under those circumstances, with Hisoka present, killing Chrollo-the prey he had set his sights on-right in front of him had been virtually impossible. Kurapika had nearly exhausted himself, she was injured, and Gon, Killua, and Leorio had yet to grow strong enough.
Anyway, in the end, A Luo chose to take the Airship back to a secluded place to stay in Yorknew City.
Then Kurapika promptly collapsed.
At the end of the day, he was still only a seventeen-year-old boy.
He had faced enemies as powerful as the Spider right from the start, spent so long fighting them with his nerves stretched taut, and finally pushed his Emperor Time beyond its limits in the rain.
The fact that Kurapika had held out until the Airship reached a safe location before fainting was already
