Besides, by killing Shalnark, he had saved the lives of the Nostrade Family's guards. In the normal timeline, the Troupe would already have found Uvogin through Shalnark's intelligence-gathering ability by now.
Now, they would have to find the Nostrade Family first.
Kurapika nodded. "Fine."
"As long as you can do it."
Hisoka spoke up then. "Who's your next target?"
Hyuga Akira took out a wanted poster bearing a weary-looking face.
"Nobunaga? He's a combatant, you know." Interest appeared on Hisoka's face.
"Naturally, I've made thorough preparations to deal with him." Hyuga Akira pointed at Kurapika. "Kurapika, you're the bait now. You need to find a way to draw the Troupe's attention. You don't need to appear in person."
"Hisoka, you need to confirm the Phantom Troupe's movements."
"And I'll handle the harvesting."
This would mean making use of Gon and Killua. Without Shalnark, the Phantom Troupe had lost its intelligence advantage, and Kurapika could easily draw their attention.
He believed that Gon and Killua would inevitably be taken back to the Troupe's base.
Afterward, when the Phantom Troupe launched its second operation, Nobunaga would definitely stay behind to guard the two. That would be Hyuga Akira's opportunity.
Moreover, Kurapika, acting as bait, could occupy a good deal of their attention, leaving them no time to stop and think.
As for where the Phantom Troupe's base was...
With Hisoka around, finding the Troupe's current temporary base would be easy.

Though fighting was an art, getting ganged up on would be a tragedy.
"Don't worry. They definitely won't suspect you," Hyuga Akira said with a smile.
He had already prepared for that.
Presumably, Chrollo had already obtained the excuse he
