Chapter 115: Gunfire × Hearing deprivation × Humanoids
Killer Queen had appeared the instant the car was hit, touched it as it flipped, and pressed its right thumb down as Joey and Gon exchanged a look.
The car was instantly annihilated, and Joey and Gon quickly landed on their feet.
At the same time, several black sedans sped toward them, screeching to a halt a short distance away.
Groups of Mafia members in black suits climbed out of the cars, all carrying guns.
Without wasting a word, they aimed at Joey and Gon and pulled their triggers in unison.
The instant they were hit, Joey had already determined that the attackers definitely had nothing to do with Illumi or Hisoka.
First, there had not been enough time. Knov would not have waited long to send his message, which meant Illumi should have only just parted ways with Killua and the others.
Then who had launched this attack, and what did they want?
And were they targeting only their car, or had they attacked every car?
As for why he had used Killer Queen to annihilate the car where Knov had placed an [Exit], it was partly to send a warning. The other reason was that, the instant the car flipped, Joey and Gon had both seen that the signal indicator on Gon's lit phone screen had become a cross.
Clearly, to keep them from calling for help, the enemy had probably jammed the nearby signals as they launched their operation.
That left only one way to notify Knov: destroy the exit.
Killer Queen's action could not only notify Knov that something had gone wrong here, but also let Joey and Gon, who had entered combat readiness and were maintaining Ken, quickly escape the car. It was the most suitable method.
