Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 172 Rooster Crook

All of the top 100 people on the list are extremely vicious criminals, and the crimes they have committed are too numerous to list.

Take Bazel Hernandez, the killer chosen by Moro, for example. He committed hundreds of crimes.

Two of the most egregious crimes were:
One was a bar massacre with a total of 81 victims.

One was an attack on a tourist bus, in which all 32 people on board were unfortunately killed.

The reason why Moreau chose Basel was not entirely because of Basel's brutality.

But among the information provided by Argo, Basel's was the most detailed, including case descriptions of the bar massacre and the tourist bus attack.

From the case information, Moreau discovered key information: "the victims attacked each other before they died" and "the victims' bodies were bleeding profusely."

Based on this alone, we can basically draw an important conclusion:
Bazel Hernandez is a user with the ability of manipulation.

Moreover, Basel was able to use his telekinesis without any scruples when attacking a group of ordinary people, allowing the information of his ability to be exposed under the light.

This shows some of Basel's personality traits.

Arrogant and twisted.

Or they have some kind of morbid pursuit of killing.

Moro identified the target and then contacted Mengqi, asking her to use the Hunter website to collect information about Bazel.

The next step is to wait for news.

three days later.

The airship landed at Lingung Airport.

Moro and Kurt got off the airship, changed to a car they had rented in advance, and drove all the way to Youkexin City.

When he arrived in the city, Kurt randomly chose a pawn shop on a busy street.

Then he threw the many clothes that Ji Qiu had carefully prepared onto the counter of the pawn shop.

Most of these clothes are kimonos and princess dresses, and they are all specially made and cost a lot of money.

If it is thrown into a pawn shop now, the recycling price will definitely be far less than the original cost.

Moreau advised against this.

However, Kurt insisted on getting rid of the clothes.

On the one hand, carrying too many clothes with you is always a hassle, so it is better to sell them directly and get some money.

On the other hand, Kurt felt that his mother had gone too far, so he was a little angry.

Moro saw this and thought that Kiju's tough move of blocking funds would actually arouse Kurt's rebellious thoughts.

Soon, the transaction was completed.

Kurt got millions of ringgits.

It wasn't much money, but Curt was happy.

Afterwards, Morrow took Kurt to the Free Trade Flea Market in Youkexin.

He hadn't been to Youkexin for a while and thought he might be able to find some goods.

The two of them shopped from noon to evening, and then used the millions of niggards they earned from selling their clothes to make 300 million niggards through shopping sprees.

After the 300 million ringgits were successfully deposited into the account, the light in Kurt's eyes never faded.

The next day.

Moreau and Curt visit a new free trade flea market.

But this time my luck was not so good, I only got 100 million Jie Ni.

Until the third day.

Moro finally received news from Aksai.

The golden orb and the Selma scepter have been auctioned off. After deducting some necessary expenses, Moreau will get 206 billion ringgits.

In order to thank Aksai for his help, Moro bought a high-quality unheated gem from the market before going to the Nanpis Auction House and gave it to Aksai.

Without much effort, Moreau got the money quickly.

This is exactly why he came to Youkexin specifically.

"There's still 30 million left."

Even if we add in the earnings from the free market over the past two days, there is still a considerable gap between the deposit and the actual payment, but time is running out.

Based on this, before Kurt had time to get excited, he was poured with cold water.

"Then let's go find Bazel quickly."

Thinking that time was running out, Kurt was more anxious than Moreau.

Of course Morrow had no objection.

The two quickly left Youkexin and set out to hunt down Basel.

With Kurt's ability to find people, it is not difficult to find Basel. It just takes some time on the journey.

But it is precisely the time spent on the journey that makes the time for delivering the deposit even more tight.

But Moreau was in no hurry.

The biggest funding gap has been filled. If I really can't find a way to borrow the remaining 30 billion from someone I know, I'll have to borrow it from.

After driving for two hours, the two arrived at Lingong Airport.

While waiting for the flight, Moreau suddenly received a message from Mengqi.

"Someone wants to buy a violin."

At the end of the message, a contact number was attached.

"Finally there is news."

A smile appeared on Morrow's lips.

Fei Hemeng's violin was disassembled by him before.

Of course it can be reassembled, but the selling price will definitely be affected.

However, the strange words inside the violin's resonance box might help him stop the loss.

So when he left the Sky Arena, he asked Menqi to put it on the trading channel of the Hunter website and let the intermediary of the Hunter website handle the matter.

Today, I finally found a buyer who is interested in purchasing it.

Moro glanced at the time on the screen in the waiting hall and saw that there was still about half an hour before boarding, so he decisively dialed the number.

After a while.

The call was answered.

"The seller of Fehmen's violin?"

As soon as the call was connected, a slightly harsh female voice came from the other end, and there was a sense of arrogance in the tone.

"Yes."

Moreau responded.

The woman on the other end of the phone introduced herself straightforwardly: "I'm a professional music hunter, Crook, currently serving as the Twelve Earthly Branches of the Hunter Association. I want the Fehmen violin. Let's meet and discuss the price."

Moro was surprised when he heard the woman's words.

Crook, the Rooster, is one of the twelve Earthly Branches of the Hunter Association.

Unexpectedly, she was attracted by Fei Hemeng's violin.

But come to think of it, this man has made achievements in the fields of musician, botanist, and dancer, so it is not surprising that he would be interested in the Feihomon violin.

"No need to meet?"

Moro suppressed the slight ripples in his heart and said calmly, "This transaction is handled by an intermediary, and the violin is with them. As long as the bargaining result is OK, you can get the violin directly from them after paying the purchase price."

"I know."

Crook's tone was very strong: "But I prefer to meet and negotiate. You set a time and I'll meet you."

"..."

Moro felt Crook's strength and was silent for a moment. No wonder he introduced himself right at the beginning.

This is to dispel the seller's doubts to a certain extent when he asks for "negotiating in person".

However, Moro didn't want to waste time on the so-called meeting and bargaining.

This transaction was already handled by the intermediary of Hunter Website, so there was no need to make it so complicated.

"Sorry, I'm busy, maybe you could consider making an offer now."

After a brief silence, Moro directly refused the idea of meeting to negotiate the price and instead made a proposal.

Crook's voice came from the phone: "It doesn't matter. I'll come to see you in the next few days as long as I'm free. In addition, I have transferred the deposit to the account designated by the intermediary and granted the seller the right to withdraw it at any time. This is my sincerity."

"???"

Moro was immediately puzzled and couldn't understand Crook's actions.

They even give the seller the right to withdraw the high deposit at any time. They are so generous and straightforward, but why do they have to meet in person to negotiate the price?
Just as Morrow was about to speak, he heard Crook leave a message "wait for me" and then hang up the phone.

This style, mixed with impatience, is quite in the style of the Release Department.

But the strength revealed in his words and actions gives people a sense of manipulation.

Morrow frowned at his phone and did not dial Crook's number again. Instead, he confirmed Crook's identity with the agent.

Only after receiving the correct reply did Moro put away his phone.

Nearby, Kurt heard the conversation between Morrow and Crook and wondered, "Why did she insist on meeting to negotiate the price?"

"I don't know, maybe it's just a habit."

Moro looked at Kurt and said, "And she probably has the ability to locate people just like you."

"what?"

Kurt was slightly startled.

Moro explained: "To be able to say so confidently that he would 'come to me within a few days' is definitely not something that can be done by just relying on 'movement intelligence'. It is also something that can be done by always being able to determine the direction and location of Basel, just like us."

"No wonder she didn't care that you refused to meet."

Kurt suddenly realized, but a hint of hostility involuntarily revealed between his eyebrows.

Moreau sighed.

After the conversation just now, to be honest, he really didn't want to see Crook.

That kind of style that is strong but also arrogant is really too glaring.

But as far as meeting and negotiating prices are concerned, if Crook really has the same precise positioning ability as Kurt, then he is obviously in a passive position.

"Forget it, let's see how much intention money she transferred first."

Moro thought of the intention deposit, took out his mobile phone and logged into the account he could withdraw money from at will.

When I opened the account, the amount of 50 billion appeared on the screen.

"Tsk."

Just as a deposit of intent, he simply transferred 50 billion.

Moreau's first reaction was surprise, followed by amazement at the potential value of the Fehmann violin.

I originally thought that selling it for 10 or 20 billion would be the highest price possible.

However, he did not expect that Crook would start with an unreasonable intention payment of 50 billion, and he did not even worry about the subsequent bargaining process.

This casual disruption of the transaction process, as well as the confidence that everything is under control, almost overflows from this series of numbers.

I think Kruk should be able to anchor the approximate price of Feihemen violins...

What is certain is that even though the violin has signs of being disassembled, it is still worth at least 50 billion.

Could it be because of those strange words in the resonance box?
It's hard to say.

Collectors in the hunter world like to pay a premium to purchase collections with special meanings or rare and exotic items.

Therefore, gold products such as the Golden Orb and the Selma Scepter are not easy to sell at a high price.

If these two gold products were not covered with a thick layer of historical dust, they would not be sold at that price.

"In this way, the deposit issue will be resolved."

Morrow held up his phone and pointed the screen showing the large amount toward Kurt.

Kurt just nodded slightly, without the expected excitement and joy of finally achieving a short-term goal.

"what happened?"

Morrow noticed Kurt's reaction and asked with concern.

Kurt did not hide his thoughts and said, "I'm wondering what that woman's 'ability' is."

Upon hearing this, Moro immediately understood the reason for Kurt's reaction and smiled helplessly:
"And you're not even sure what type of ability Kruk has, but you're already competing with him in your mind?"

"Can't you?"

Kurt said a little angrily.

"Of course not."

Moreau struck Kurt on the head with a palm.

Kurt felt pain and covered his head, with a hint of grievance in his deep purple eyes.

It was the first time that Moreau saw the emotion of grievance in Kurt.

The Kurt he knew was like a blade of grass that was weighed down by the strong wind but refused to fall, exuding a stubbornness and tenacity beyond his age.

Although this kind of character often makes Kurt do some bravado, it is also this kind of character that easily narrows the distance between Moreau and Kurt.

If--

Moro saw a bit of himself in Kurapika.

So in Curt, Moreau saw a quality worth learning.

So it was already great that he praised Kurt before, and he was completely consistent in what he said and meant.

of course.

Kurt also has shortcomings. Because he cares too much about his strength, he is easily mentally exhausted.

As Kurt's friend, Moro naturally hoped that Kurt could correct his shortcomings of being easily arrogant and falling into mental exhaustion in the following experience.

He wanted to help Curt do that.

It was not because he learned about the so-called Zoldyck family training from Kurt, but he simply wanted to see Kurt become better and not be trapped in the kind of suffocating psychological pressure.

Moreau thought he knew Kurt very well, so he was surprised by the rare grievance Kurt showed at this moment.

Even so, after noticing that Kurt was beginning to lose his temper again, Moro did not pay much attention to his grievance, but said solemnly:
"I've told you many times not to keep looking for trouble and putting more psychological pressure on yourself. Besides... I'm just guessing about Crook's abilities. Are you stupid to argue with this unconfirmed information?"

As he said this, Morrow gave Kurt another palm strike on the head.

"what."

Kurt covered his head with his hands and said angrily: "That's because I believe in your ability to speculate!"

"Is that the point?"

Morrow shook his head slightly and said, "The point is that you don't need to fight about this kind of thing."

Kurt stopped talking and just covered his head in anger.

"Let's go, it's time to board the plane."

Moreau was the first to walk towards the boarding gate, thinking that once he got on the airship, he could just ask the kitchen to make some sugar cookies to calm Kurt down immediately.

Kurt looked at Moreau's back and remembered what Moreau said when he first met him: "Your ability is very precious." He suddenly shouted in his heart: It is necessary!

Subsequently,

Kurt hurried to catch up, walking side by side with Moreau, and deliberately stepped hard.

This childish behavior of deliberately increasing the sound of footsteps made Kurt inadvertently shed his mature shell at this moment.
