Chapter 474 ( Bait - II )

"What about you, and Cloud?" - Menchi asked with surprise.

"Not to brag, but my base power is 1000" - answered Kyōka with a toothy smile - "If I activate my Nen, then my power increases to 1500 at least, as for Cloud."

Menchi looked carefully at Kyōka as she waited for the answer with excitement.

"Cloud has a base power of 4000 in his human form" - Kyōka said while shrugging her shoulders - "If he could use his normal abilities, his power would increase to 8000, if he uses his Nen, his power goes up to 5000, if he transforms into a dragon his base form would have a power level of 16000, and this is all an estimate, it's not completely truthful, so his power level could be much higher. As a fact, Netero's power level, would be around 4200 in his base form."

Menchi was silent as she digested the woman's words.

"Anyway, we better get back to the main topic" - Cloud said as he gained the group's attention - "If she's a member of the [Phantom Troupe], and she wants us to do a mission, I can only deduce two things, one, it was a trap to get rid of us now that we did their dirty work, or two, they want us to leave the hotel so they can make their next move.""

"Why would they want to make us leave the hotel?" - Menchi asked as she frowned.

"I can deduce for two reasons" - answered Kyōka while shaking her head - "The first one, they want to use us as a scapegoat, or to concentrate all the 'hate' against us."

"The second motive?" - Menchi asked as she looked closely at the blue-haired woman.

"It's that they want something from this place, and they can't move while we're here" - answered Kyōka as she folded her arms - "The problem is that despite being a good hotel and collecting a good income, it's not enough for the [Ghost Brigade] to mobilize, that leaves us only one answer."

"They're not looking for money, but rather for a person" - muttered Kyoko as her eyes widened in surprise - "They're looking for Neon Nostrade."

"Exactly" - nodded Cloud with a smile as he saw how Kyoko had arrived at the answer - "She is the only client worth kidnapping, not only because of her family, but also because of her ability to see the future"

"If I remember correctly, the leader of the [Ghost Brigade], has the ability to steal other people's abilities" - Menchi said as she pointed towards the target of the [Ghost Brigade] - "That makes sense, and it would also explain a lot of the inconsistencies we had detected"

"Now the question is, what do we do?" - asked Kyōka as she looked at Cloud seriously.

"We'll do it in a way that I'm sure you'll enjoy" - said Cloud with a huge smile - "I'll handle the auction while you guys will pretend to go on an emergency mission, just to be in the area taking care of Neon Nostrade."

"Interesting, we're using two baits at the same time" - said Kyōka while letting out a wicked laugh - "I like it, I like it."

"Exactly, Sora will continue his mission to discover the base of operations of the group behind our informant" - nodded Cloud calmly - "If it's the spider, then we'll attack without a problem, and if it's not them, we'll still snatch one of the organizations from the [Abyss]"

Cloud wasn't doing this because it was the right thing to do, but because it was the mission the system had handed him, not to mention that in the hands of the higher-ups of the [Abyss], there were always rare objects that could end up having enormous potential.

"Do you think it's a good idea to get us in the middle of all this?" - Kyoko asked as she frowned.

"Normally I'd say no, after all, we're not interested, but this time it's different" - Cloud replied while squinting - "They're a target."

Kyoko and Kyōka's eyes widened in surprise as a huge smile appeared on their faces, after all, the faster they finished their missions, the faster they could return home.

"Well, we'd better leave that for another time, now we have to continue talking about the new plan" - Menchi said while looking at the trio.

"Indeed, the plan will be as follows" - said Cloud while conversing with the three women with a serious expression on his face, after all, this would be the most dangerous mission they would do.

"And that's what happened" - Pakunoda said as she looked at her teammates with a serious expression on her face.

"This is a bit worrying" - muttered Chrollo as he frowned, after all, he didn't expect this development - "That the [Headhunter] doesn't leave the hotel makes our primary operation very difficult."

"I'm sorry, leader-sama" - Pakunoda replied as she sighed regretfully.

"It's not your fault, none of us thought that man's senses would be that sharp" - Chrollo replied while shaking his head - "Maybe it's better not to go for Neon Nostrade".

"Or we just have to go and annihilate them completely" - Uvogin replied neutrally as he folded his arms - "They may be strong, but they don't compare to our full power."

"Uvogin, we need to think our moves through calmly" - Nobunaga said as he shook his head - "Remember that we are about to start the auction operation and we need to keep low profile"

"Tch" - Uvogin clicked his tongues as he sat back down.

"I share Uvogin's point of view" - Hisoka said while licking his lips - "I think it's a good idea for us to kill them before they become a bigger problem."

"You just wish to fight the [Headhunter]" - Machi replied as she narrowed her eyes - "That's only going to cause us trouble."

"That's true, we can't afford to draw too much attention to ourselves" - said Feitan while frowning - "That's why we have to think carefully what we'll do"

Shizuku was about to say something, when she felt as something seemed to be watching them, only to shake her head when she saw that there was nothing.

Sora slowly peeked her head out carefully as she watched the group with her pretty black eyes, only to turn around and run out of the place.

She had already accomplished her mission, so she had better leave as soon as possible to prevent something dangerous from happening to her.

"We better get back to the point, we have to make a decision, go and kidnap Neon Nostrade, or continue with our original operation" - said Chrollo while looking at his companions - "And this time I'll let you be the ones to decide this, after all, this operation is as important to me, as it is to you."

The members of the [Phantom Troupe] looked at each other with a serious expression on their faces.

"I stand by my position" - said Uvogin as he folded his arms - "We'd better kill that group before it gets out of hand."

"I concur" - nodded Hisoka with amusement.

"They have a point" - said Franklin as he folded his arms - "We have let that group gain too much fame with our help, more after revealing a bit of their power"

"That's exactly why I'm asking for your opinion" - Chrollo replied as he looked at his companions - "This is serious, and could catastrophically damage our group."

"It's better that we don't risk it" - Machi said neutrally - "In fact, it's better that Pakunoda doesn't show herself during the operation"

"I think the same as her" - nodded Feitan while looking at Chrollo - "We can't let you be in danger, leader, after all, the spider dies if its head is cut off."

"I've said it many times before, the legs are just as important as the head" - said Chrollo as he frowned, only to smile at his friend again - "But I understand your concern, I guess the plan to get Neon Nostrade's ability, is off."

Those present let out a sigh of relief when they heard this, though there was a small group that wasn't too happy about this, after all, they found it to be a waste.

"Uvogin" - Chrollo said as he noticed his friend's dissatisfaction.

"I know, I don't plan on doing anything stupid" - said Uvogin as he snorted with disdain - "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go train because if I don't do anything productive, I'm going to die of boredom."

Hisoka remained silent observing the situation, only to shake his head regretfully, though quickly his expression returned to normal and he tried to talk to Machi, only for her to ignore him as usual.

* * * * *

"I guess we're a lot earlier than we had intended" - Killua said as he looked around the [Yorkshin City] airport - "What was it Leorio said?"

"He said he would be arriving in two or three days because his training was about to be completed" - Gon replied innocently.
