Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 101 Finger x Tree Hole (Monthly Ticket Plus)
It was early morning of the second day after the Youkexin auction ended.

Nolan receives news of the death of earthworms and poisonous mosquitoes.

The moment I heard the news, the composure that had been ingrained in me for years fell apart at this moment.

Nolan's facial muscles twitched rapidly a few times, and the corners of his eyes gradually became distorted and hideous.

One could even clearly see anger and confusion in the drastically changing facial features.

Why are the dead people earthworms and poisonous mosquitoes?

Nolan's natural confidence in the Yin Beast Army made it difficult for him to accept this reality.

long, long ago.

Nolan had personally witnessed the Yin Beast troops carrying out their missions.

Vicious, brutal, and quick...

This was what he saw from the Yin beast, it was so beautiful that it made him obsessed and intoxicated.

It was also at that time that he became fascinated by the so-called power that could be materialized, and the idea of creating another Yin Beast Army came into his mind.

But this kind of thing is easier said than done.

The Yin Beasts are the ten strongest gang members selected from the jurisdiction of the Ten Old Men.

Although Nolan has an organization that he has devoted more than ten years of hard work to, he is still far behind the Yin Beast Army in cultivating the "core forces".

What's more, after losing members, the Yin Beast Corps can still select new members from the six continents and ten districts. If they cannot meet the requirements, they can also select from those capable people who closely protect the ten old men.

But all the Nen users under his command will die one by one.

The subsequent need to replenish fresh blood cannot be solved by money alone.

Because above the need for strength, there is a more important requirement: loyalty.

Inside the dark and spacious room.

I don’t know how much time passed before the ferocious look on Nolan’s face finally faded away.

But his index finger was still tapping on the armrest of the sofa, at a very fast speed, making a rapid sound.

This somewhat hints at his mood, which is not as calm as it appears.

The only sound in the entire room was the tapping of the index finger on wood.

After a long time passed, the frequency of the crisp sound gradually decreased and then returned to calm.

Nolan stood up from the sofa with an expressionless face, picked up the buzzing cell phone from the coffee table next to him, and strode towards the closed door.

squeak.

Pushing open the door, the bright light outside poured into the room, dispelling the darkness.

Nolan left the room and walked to the hall on the first floor.

Under the huge crystal chandelier, on the white leather sofa, sat an old man with a gloomy and cruel temperament.

The old man had his hair combed back meticulously, and he held a cylindrical cane in his hand, leaning it steadily in front of him.

Seeing Nolan coming down the stairs, the old man turned his head slightly and gave him a cold look.

Nolan could only speed up his pace, come to the front of the old man, lower his head and slightly lower his eyes.

The old man in front of him represented one of the top gangs in the world in terms of status, and he was also his biological father.

So no matter what, in terms of attitude, Nolan has never crossed the line.

The old man was none other than Old Man Gambino.

He looked coldly at Nolan who took the initiative to lower his posture, and said slowly: "You are getting more and more daring. I turned a blind eye to the matter of researching viruses for the Kajin royal family, and that matter was over. Now, you dare to use my name to dispatch Yin Beasts."

"Father, I know I was wrong."

Nolan lowered his head even more, without any excuses, and admitted his mistake directly.

Gambino clicked his tongue, a hint of seriousness showing between his brows.

"Remember, there won't be a next time."

The suddenly low voice contained an unquestionable tone.

After saying that, Gambino slowly stood up.

As he moved, a stern-faced bodyguard beside the sofa took a few steps forward and was about to lend a hand to support Gambino.

However, Nolan was faster than the bodyguard. He reached out and held Gambino's arm, lifting him up so that Gambino could stand up easily.

Gambino did not refuse Nolan's help.

This gave Nolan a message and made him feel a little more at ease.

But he also knew that the warning his father had just given was the most serious one ever.

After seeing his father off, Nolan returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, clasped his hands together and rested them on his chin, his eyes particularly cold.

As for the matter of implicating two Yin Beast members, his father has stepped forward to take responsibility, so he doesn't have to worry about the consequences for the time being.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to eliminate the threat accurately.

"come over."

Nolan looked up suddenly.

Hearing Nolan's call, a man walked out from the side hall and stood in front of Nolan.

Nolan thought for a moment and said coldly: "Send a message to the 'fingers' and ask them to come back."

"learn."

The subordinate agreed and then turned and left.

Nolan lowered his eyes, murderous intent surging in them.

The fingers are the five most powerful people with special abilities in his organization, namely the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger.

This team was also created by him to counter the Yin Beast.

Because the menu business spreads across several continents, Nolan usually needs his men to take charge of the industries in each major region.

Among them, Thumb Letona is in charge of the virus research institute in the ancient Ganyu border area, and will use the most profitable local smuggling industry to provide the menu organization with a steady stream of huge profits.

But the virus research institute was destroyed, and even Thumb Retona was not spared.

After this incident, Nolan lost the trust of an important client and also lost a lot of territory profits in the Guganyu border area.

The culprit who caused all this has now killed two more Yin beasts, causing him to almost face the wrath of the ten old men.

In addition, the assassination mission against another culprit also ended in failure.

This made Nolan realize that if he wanted to solve the problem accurately, he could not just rely on the power of others.

So after careful consideration, Nolan decided to call back the remaining fingers and resolve the matter once and for all.

This decision may affect the stability of business industries in various regions to some extent, and may even give competitors an opportunity to attack.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

He was too ambitious at the beginning, and before he had even gained a firm foothold, he was impatient to extend his hands beyond the sphere of his father's jurisdiction.

Although they managed to establish roots outside, their rapid development forced their backbone members to be dispersed to various regions.

Now that we have moved the fingers back, we have to face some risks.

However, compared with these risks, what is more important is always to clear the obstacles on the way forward.

Nolan was determined to kill.

--------------

September 9th was the fifth day after the Youkexin auction ended.

Moro and Kurt took the return airship and returned to the Saheleta States on the Eurubian continent.

Because Nolan Gambino is somewhere in the United States of Saheleta.

And since Moreau intercepted Kurt over the sea, he had to return to the Sahilta States.

When he landed at the airport, Moro had already completed his disguise.

At Kurt's suggestion, he wore a set of sportswear from the brand that Ilmi loved, a wig, and a pair of sunglasses that covered his eyes.

Originally, Moreau was thinking of wearing a set of clothes with a lot of bead pins, but after hearing Kurt's suggestion, he realized that the Ilmi in 1996 did not have the dressing style that would be seen a few years later.

"The entire forehead should be exposed, and then a strand of hair should be let down."

Curt reminded him of the details, and Morrow followed Curt's suggestion.

"How is it? Is it similar?"

Letting a strand of hair fall on his white forehead, Morrow looked at Kurt.

Kurt looked at Morrow, who was already wearing a pair of sunglasses, and couldn't help feeling dazed.

After covering the eyes that were the most different, and then putting on the same sportswear that I often saw in my daily life, finally, with the help of my memory, I felt that they were at least 60% or 70% similar.

If it weren't for some differences in height and body shape, they would probably be more alike.

"enough."

Kurt looked away and stopped looking at Moreau's face.

With Kurt's affirmation, Moreau felt that there was basically no problem.

But before that, there is one more thing to deal with.

That is to find a place to temporarily store the Red Jade Bird Knife.

"Kurt, is the organization called 'Tree Hole' you mentioned really reliable?"

Arriving at the roadside outside the airport, Moro tilted his head and glanced at Kurt beside him.

According to Kurt, Tree Hole is an informal organization that keeps any item for others.

As long as you pay enough storage fees, this organization can properly store even a pile of dog poop for you for a hundred years, and can also ensure the security of your information.

When Moreau first heard Kurt talk about this organization, he was quite surprised.

However, there are many similar organizations in the Hunter World, such as the Thousand Ears Society and the Wanlizu...

The tree hole is for storing items, and the Wanlizu is for delivering items.

The Qian'er Club is an intermediary organization that specializes in introducing jobs or commissions to people with special abilities.

These non-governmental organizations are far less famous than the Hunter Association, but they do exist in corners of the world.

Among them, whether openly or secretly, they are basically closely related to the users of Nen ability.

When Morrow asked about the safety of the "tree hole", Kurt responded coldly: "I have said everything I should say. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

"makes sense."

Moreau casually stuffed the ruby bird knife wrapped in black cloth into Kurt's arms.

This action startled Kurt, and he frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Help me to store it in the tree hole. You know these things better than I do."

Moro said as a matter of course.

Kurt was about to throw the Ruby Bird Knife back when he heard that, but he held back.

ten minutes later.

An employee of the car rental company brought a car to Moreau and Curt.

After the employee left, Morrow opened the passenger door and got in.

Kurt stood beside the car holding the Ruby Bird Knife, and was stunned when he saw Moro sitting in the passenger seat.

inside the car.

Morrow lowered the window and urged, "Get in the car."

"???"

Kurt moved his lips and pointed a finger at the driver's seat in the car.

He didn't say anything, but seemed to have made his meaning clear: You bastard, let me drive?
What made Kurt almost lose control of his expression was that Morrow seemed to understand what he meant and actually nodded directly at him.

Kurt took a deep breath, his face expressionless.

Seeing this, Morrow asked, "Can't drive?"

Kurt said nothing, just looked at him coldly.

Seeing that Kurt did not accept the arrangement, Moro had to give up the idea of practicing in the car, opened the door, got out, and moved to the driver's seat.

Only then did Kurt open the door and get in the passenger seat.

"Why would you rent a car? This isn't some backward town. You can get a taxi anytime."

Closing the car window, Kurt asked coldly.

Morrow started the car and said softly, "Because it's convenient."

More than an hour later.

Based on the geographical location that Kurt had found, Moro drove all the way to a pawn shop.

This pawn shop is a three-story building, which is quite unremarkable on the whole street.

If there wasn't a sign that said "Pawn Shop" hanging on the wall next to the door, outsiders would probably think that this was just an ordinary residential building and would never have imagined that there was something else hidden inside the building.

After parking the car, Moro did not get out. He just watched Kurt get out of the car holding the Ruby Bird Knife and walked into the building which was apparently a pawn shop but secretly a tree hole stronghold.

Kurt pushed open the door of the pawn shop.

The store looks like most pawn shops, with only two counters inside and outside, and a glass wall protected by anti-theft bars between the counters, leaving only one window.

Kurt walked straight to the counter and said only one word: tree hole.

Upon hearing this, the woman in the window opened the iron door on the side of the counter.

Cotla opened the iron door and walked in.

Inside is an enclosed corridor about one meter wide.

At the end of the corridor, there is another iron door.

Kurt just reached the iron gate.

The iron door opened automatically, revealing a staircase leading down.

Kurt went down the stairs and came to a candle-lit basement.

There are cabinets against the walls on all four sides of the basement, and in the middle is a long table.

Behind the table sat an old man wearing reading glasses.

The old man was also a user of the ability to read the mind. The mind energy on his body was like the candle flames around him, swaying gently and looking very weak.

Kurt did not dare to show any contempt. He walked over and put the ruby bird knife on the table. He also took out a gold coin specially used for storing items in the tree hole and placed it next to the ruby bird knife.

The old man put away the gold coin engraved with the tree pattern, then untied the black cloth on the red jade bird knife, pulled the knife out of the scabbard and checked it.

After confirming the status of the item, the old man put the knife on the table, took out a numbered copper coin from the drawer, and handed it to Kurt at the table.

Kurt took the copper coin and turned away.

During the entire process of depositing their belongings, the two of them did not exchange a single word.

However, when Curt walked up the stairs, the old man still looked at Curt again, as if he was surprised to see such a young depositor for the first time.

As soon as Kurt walked out of the basement and returned to the enclosed corridor, he saw the iron door in front of him was opened.

A girl with short pink hair, a hot body, and emerald green eyes that shone with confidence walked in.

In the corridor, the two saw each other, avoided each other's glances tacitly, and then passed each other.

The pink-haired girl quickly walked to the basement and took out a copper coin from the pocket of her denim shorts. As soon as she put it down, her attention was attracted by the red jade bird knife on the table.

"what."

The pink-haired girl exclaimed in surprise and reached out to grab the red jade bird knife.

However, only a shadow flashed by, the candlelight on the table trembled violently, and the red jade bird knife disappeared in an instant.

The pink-haired girl's eyelids jumped, and she turned to look at the old man sitting behind the table, only to see that the red jade bird knife had fallen into the old man's hands and was put into the leather sheath.

"Old man, let me take a look."

Her eyes were fixed on the exposed handle of the Red Jade Bird Knife, and the pink-haired girl moved her outstretched right hand in front of the old man.

The old man snorted from his nose: "Menqi, you know the rules, don't be stupid."

The pink-haired girl narrowed her eyes.
