A Luo rubbed her aching lower back and silently grumbled to herself:
Seeing you certainly doesn't make me happy.
Unfortunately, with A Luo's current strength, she wouldn't have dared mouth off to Hisoka even if someone lent her the courage.
The little girl glanced at the pitch-black night sky outside, fought back her drowsiness, and stiffly gave him a flattering smile.
"Lord Hisoka, you're awake?"
A moment later, Hisoka came downstairs, sat across from A Luo, and generously praised her with a beaming smile:
"You're quite capable, little cutie! ♠"
A Luo was just about to offer a few modest words when the perverted fruit grower's demeanor abruptly changed.
His narrow eyes gleamed with a chilling light. Like a venomous snake that had locked onto its prey, he said coolly to A Luo:
"My capable little cutie ♥, can you tell me everything about that leader now?"
Sensing the faint killing intent in his voice, A Luo gave an involuntary shudder.
And so, the little girl, who firmly believed that wisdom lay in knowing when to yield,
immediately spilled everything she knew about Chrollo to Hisoka.
Knowing he was an expert in lies, Lola didn't dare lie at all.
Apart from her limited knowledge of the Nen abilities in Chrollo's book, she had sold him out completely!
Hisoka was delighted.
Mostly because he had never expected the little girl before him to be so obedient. She had kept dodging the subject earlier, and he had thought it would take considerably more effort to pry her mouth open!
He hadn't expected the little thing to tell him everything he wanted to know without a fuss, after just one question.
"Little cutie~ Do you know where those Spiders are staying? ♥"
At the thought of soon getting to savor that perfect, ripe fruit, Hisoka grew excited, his voice brimming with genuine delight.
Seeing Hisoka like this, A Luo hurried to bring up her earlier proposal while he was still in a good mood.
"My lord, Lord Hisoka. Have you forgotten? I told you I know lots of promising little fruits... like Ging Freecss's son, a son of the Zoldyck Family, and others. They're all geniuses with enormous potential, every bit as talented as their fathers! Besides that, I can find you powerful opponents to duel. I guarantee every one of them will be just as strong as the leader!"
A Luo's words successfully changed the way Hisoka looked at her: from a nobody he could dispose of once he was done using her to someone with a little value.
"Little cutie ♥, are you sure everything you just said is true?"
A Luo nodded.
She didn't want to die!
Hisoka had only spared her earlier because he still wanted information about the leader from her.
Now that she had told Hisoka everything she knew, her only chance of staying alive was to make herself useful again. If he thought she might really be able to find opponents for him later, surely, surely he wouldn't kill her.
Seeing A Luo nod so earnestly, Hisoka sprang to his feet, walked over to her, and patted her shoulder as he said in a low voice:
"Since little A Luo is being so enthusiastic and helpful, I'll agree. If you come across any promising little fruits or tempting ripe ones in the future, make sure you let me know! ♥"
Along with that last playful note, Hisoka handed A Luo a business card bearing his contact details.
The small red card had Hisoka Morow's name printed in black, with a string of digits underneath that was presumably his contact number. There was nothing else on it.
He had included none of the information people normally put on business cards, such as their age or occupation.
A Luo smiled stiffly, took the card, and carefully tucked it away.
"Little cutie~ Since you've said everything you wanted to say, you can take me to that tempting ripe fruit now, can't you? ♠♪★♣♠♥~"
Hisoka spoke in a low voice, sounding utterly excited.
A Luo said, "Well, I can."
And so, the very next second, having just learned from A Luo where Chrollo and his group were staying, Hisoka, the pervert who was already starting to become a little unhinged, dragged the little girl along as he raced out through the Luxury Villa's front door.
