Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 331 Shocked the whole audience

Chapter 331 Shocked the whole audience
September 1st, 9 PM.

With only an hour left before the Southpis auction was about to begin, business elites, political figures, and gang leaders from all over the world had already begun to arrive at the scene.

According to the auction rules, each buyer may bring a maximum of two people into the venue, and weapons, recording devices, and communication tools are prohibited.

Therefore, most buyers choose to bring two burly bodyguards with them, while the rest of their entourage can only stand guard outside the venue.

Batra's companions were Zezzeira and a materialization-type ability user named Dobru.

His ability, known as "The Fly's Work," allows him to materialize a handheld radar device to monitor the movements of designated targets and to alert him to approaching sources of danger.

Therefore, as long as he secretly uses the fly's ability to work during the auction, he can detect potential dangers faster than others.

Zezze and Dobru accompanied Batra into the venue as bodyguards, while their two other ability users stood guard outside.

Shortly after Batra and his entourage entered, the head of the Ai family, Eberland, along with Vic and Lopez, also arrived at the lobby of the Southpis Auction House.

An hour before the auction was scheduled to begin, the gang leaders from District 66 and District 10 were not in a hurry to enter the auction hall. Instead, they gathered in small groups in the lobby, smoking and chatting.

However, as Aibolane and her group stepped into the hall, the previously noisy conversations noticeably subsided.

Almost at the same moment, many gang members focused their attention on Abram.

Although the three major gangs of Kakin have always kept a low profile, those who are involved in the underworld can still recognize Eberlan's identity at a glance.

In terms of status, Abrams is equivalent to the Ten Elders who control the Sixth District and the Tenth District in the underworld of the superpower Kakin.

However, it has been rumored that the three major gangs in Kakin are directly affiliated with the royal family. If this is true, these three gangs are clearly not as simple as they appear on the surface.

The gang leaders sized up Aberlan and his group, who had just entered, with various expressions on their faces.

The two gangs have historically kept to themselves and rarely crossed paths.

Not to mention seeing a heavyweight like Abbott attending Yorknews' auction.

Some astute gang leaders vaguely suspected that the Kakin gang might be making formal contact with the Ten Elders.

Ignoring the stares from all around, Eberland walked toward the auction hall as if no one else was there.

He had no interest in the items at the auction.

The purpose of this trip is simply to give money to the Ten Elders through an auction, based on the premise that a deal has already been made with them, and to give the Fourth Prince a pair of fiery red eyes.

As Aibolan and his group left, the lobby gradually returned to its previous noisy state.

Nosra, the head of the Nosra family, was also among the crowd, his gaze fixed on the direction where Eberland and his group had left.

"It's really impressive..."

A hint of hidden ambition flashed in his eyes, his lips moved slightly, and his voice was so low that only he could hear it.

One day, he too will stand at that height.

Behind him, Dazoni and Dochino were his constant bodyguards.

Both of them were looking toward the elevator, but their attention had been mostly focused on Lopez.

Just now, a seemingly casual glance from the other party had caused their muscles to involuntarily tense up.

Although I understand that the scanning action was more for observing and checking the surrounding situation.

But that look in his eyes was incredibly aggressive and oppressive.

This also reveals some of the other party's style.

Dazo Nie only felt that this guy was not easy to mess with, but his reaction was still relatively normal.

However, Dochino, who was also a security guard for the Nosla family, didn't have that mentality. Just now, he even reflexively reached into his pocket and touched the airbag used to assist his abilities.

If Lopez's eyes had held any malice just now, he might have had to be prepared to use the "Eleven Under the Roof" ability at any moment.

Strictly speaking, it can't be said that Dochino overreacted.

After all, the focus of his ability is on "manipulating balloon people".

In some ways, it's similar to Morel's ability in that both require seizing the initiative and creating the ability medium as quickly as possible.

Noras stared at the elevator for a long time before slowly turning his gaze away.

"go in."

He said something to Dazoni and Dochino, then walked toward the elevator.

He went to great lengths to persuade Neon to wait for news at the hotel during today's auction.

As a condition, in addition to various auction items such as Red Eyes and mummies, he also had to bid on several more items for Neon.

It's foreseeable that a lot of money will be spent tonight.

But this money can be used to satisfy Neon and to increase his Nosra status; it is a necessary expenditure.

Nosra straightened his collar, ignored the subtle disdainful glances around him, and left the lobby.

at the same time.

Outside the South Pears Auction House, many capable individuals were stationed to observe and keep watch.

Among these ability users are four security personnel from the Nosra family: Basho, Melody, Feje, and Ivalion. There are also two others who stayed at the hotel to protect Neon.

Meanwhile, Melina and another member of the Ai family were also responsible for guarding and monitoring outside.

In addition to the members of the Ten Elders responsible for security at the auction, as well as entourages from other gang families...

There were quite a few people with special abilities who remained outside the Southpis Auction House.

Killua and Gon easily passed through the police cordon set up by the gangsters with their admission tickets and went straight to the Southpis Auction House.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the two keenly sensed the subtle gazes cast upon them from the surrounding high places.

"Are there this many people monitoring just the outer perimeter?"

Killua was somewhat surprised.

With his mind solely focused on Greed Island and Batra, he had no idea how many VIP guests had arrived tonight. Naturally, he underestimated the security forces they would bring.

"Killua, the auction is about to start, let's hurry inside."

Xiao Jie also noticed the lurking guards around him, but he didn't think much of it, his mind preoccupied with the upcoming auction.

Killua nodded slightly, his gaze casually sweeping over the surroundings, before he and Gon stepped into the auction house together.

There are only ten minutes left before the auction begins.

On the rooftop of a building near the Southpis auction house.

The ugly-looking, short-statured Melody stared at the entrance of the Southpis Auction House ahead.

She possesses extraordinary hearing, able to hear the heartbeats of everyone nearby without the aid of sight.

"Many people with special abilities."

The melody, relying solely on auditory perception, accurately located the ability users from various factions nearby.

Beside her, a bearded man dressed in a slightly cowboy-style outfit leaned against the railing, his gaze fixed on the heavily armed gangsters surrounding the entrance to the Spies Auction House.

"I heard that this auction moved many of the most anticipated items to the first day, which is why it's so lively. It just goes to show how many rich people there are."

The envious look in Basho's eyes vanished in an instant, and she suddenly changed the subject, saying seriously, "However... there are indeed quite a few ability users present."

Leaving aside other forces, the Nosra family alone sent six ability users.

If the auction house hadn't stipulated that they could only bring a maximum of two companions inside, they wouldn't have needed to stand guard here; they could have simply gone in and broadened their horizons.

“There are people at almost every suitable surveillance location nearby.”

Melody's gaze swept over some inconspicuous dark corners.

Upon hearing this, Basho looked down at the melody and praised, "Your hearing is truly remarkable."

"..."

In response to Basho's praise, Melody simply nodded slightly.

Basho picked up her binoculars and looked at the main entrance of the Southpis Auction House, saying, "With this level of security, no one should dare to cause trouble. By the way, what time does the auction usually end?"

"Captain Dazo said it wouldn't be later than midnight."

The melody is soft and gentle.

Basho put down his binoculars, rested his hands on the railing, and said, "About three hours, that's pretty fast."

The melody remained silent, gazing quietly in the direction of the Southpis Auction House.

Outside, the night was still and quiet in Southpis, but inside, the atmosphere was lively.

On the auction stage, one rare treasure after another was on display.

Below, bids rose and fell in waves, with amounts in the hundreds of millions, rising wildly in the fierce competition.

Here, money seems to have become a truly cold, hard number.

time,

Time slipped away amidst this frenzied bidding war.

The night is getting darker.

On the rooftop of a high-rise building.

Melody and Basho remained highly focused, frequently using binoculars to observe the area near the South Pearson Building.

Generally, as long as the gang members on the periphery do not make any unusual moves, it means that everything is normal.

"It should be over soon." Basho put down his binoculars, glanced at the time, and it was almost midnight.

The melody nodded.

Suddenly, her expression changed slightly, and she abruptly turned to look at the other side of the rooftop.

Basho noticed Melody's reaction, and trusting in Melody's alertness, he immediately took out his notebook and pen, which he used to activate his abilities.

"what happened?"

After preparing to activate his abilities at any time, Basho finally spoke up and asked a question.

Melody stared intently at the back of the stairwell building and said, "There's someone there, right behind it."

"Ok?"

Basho's expression froze. If it weren't for the melody reminding him, he wouldn't have known that there was another person there.

This is a rather frightening situation.

Because once the opponent launches a sneak attack, he will basically have no chance to resist.

"Who? Come out!"

Basho's aura surged, and he spoke coldly.

despair.

A soft footstep suddenly came from behind the stairwell building.

Moro emerged from the shadows.

At this moment, he was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and holding a knife wrapped in white cloth.

With the help of the city's dim neon lights, Melody and Banana saw Moro's ordinary face.

This is another face that Moro modified using the power of "biomutation," and its advantage lies in its ordinariness and unremarkable appearance.

Moro's gaze shifted between the banana leaf and the melody, finally settling on the melody's face.

Based solely on their distinctive features, he recognized the two people in front of him at a glance.

It is Melody and Banana, who were recruited by the Nosla gang in the original work.

Originally, Morrow chose this location because it was quite far from the Southpis Auction House, yet it allowed him to launch a direct, long-range attack on the auction house's entrance.

But I never expected that the melody and the banana leaf would be here.

Therefore, although his movements were quick and discreet enough when he came up, he still couldn't hide from Melody's extraordinary hearing.

Strictly speaking, even the most powerful Zetsu is powerless against Melody's special abilities.

Unless there is no heartbeat.

Basho stared intently at Moro and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What is your purpose?"

"The bodyguards of the Black Luo family."

Moro casually mentioned the name of a gang family he vaguely remembered, and calmly said, "My bodyguard captain said the auction is almost over, so he sent me here to keep an eye on the situation at the main entrance."

"He's lying."

Melody, looking wary, exposed Moro's nonsense.

Upon hearing this, Basho immediately assumed a fighting stance.

Moro didn't care about Basho's reaction. Instead, he looked at the melody and asked curiously, "I've already controlled my 'heartbeat' to a normal state, but I didn't expect you to still 'hear' it."

"..."

The melody did not respond; instead, the vigilance intensified.

She was shocked because she could hear the subtle control Moro had over the "heartbeat," and she also had a vague feeling that Moro was not someone to be trifled with, which is why she was so cautious and vigilant.

Seeing that Melody remained silent, Morrow turned his gaze to the space between Melody and Banana, where he could see the towering South Pearson Tower in the night.

“I won’t be staying long, so… from now on, you’d better keep quiet and do nothing.”

Moro's voice was calm to the point of being indifferent, but then it carried a sharp and oppressive aura as he slowly walked towards the edge of the rooftop.

His every step seemed to tread on the nerves of banana leaves and melodies.

Both of them shuddered slightly, then tensed up.

They could feel themselves being locked onto by Moro's aura, which coiled around their throats like a python.

Instinct told them that if they didn't heed Morrow's warning...

However, sitting idly by and waiting for death is not Basho's style.

"Banana, do as he says."

Seemingly sensing her companion's odd behavior, Melody quickly spoke up to stop her.

Basho frowned, but ultimately heeded Melody's advice and did not act rashly. Instead, she watched with a solemn expression as Moro walked past them and stood in front of the rooftop railing.

at the same time.

As soon as the auction ended, Eberland and his entourage were the first to leave, exiting the Southpis auction house.

They're mainly here to throw money away; after the auction, they don't need to take the competing items with them.

Only fiery red eyes...

After the auction ends, the Ten Elders' men will send Red Eyes directly over.

The rooftop of a tall building in the distance.

Moro's eyes blazed with Nen, and he immediately raised his right hand.

To condense, to project.

A deceptive shooting star streaked across the night sky.

Stagnation, building momentum.

The nearby banana trees and melodies suddenly turned to the flying star that was suspended in mid-air.

Such a strong will...

They were shaken, but then they saw the shooting star suddenly turn back and shoot straight toward the Southpis Auction House at an extremely fast speed.

"An assassin?!"

In that instant, Banana and Melody understood what Moro was about to do.

But as they looked toward the edge of the rooftop, Moro was nowhere to be seen.

next moment.

A deafening explosion came from the Southpis auction house.

The two men's expressions changed drastically as they looked in the direction of the explosion.

at the same time.

Dozens of meters in front of the South Pears gate.

Lopez was radiating a powerful aura, and the area around him was cracked and charred.

Just now, he was the first to notice the flying star shooting towards him from a distance and directly withstood it.

The violent explosion and the surging blast wave mercilessly overturned the gang members who were on guard duty nearby.

Meanwhile, all the ability users at the nearby surveillance points were looking at Lopez, who was using his physical body to withstand the psychic projectiles.

Their reaction wasn't as fast as Lopez's, but it was enough for them to judge that the psychic bullet from before was quite powerful.

I never expected Lopez to be able to defend in this way.

"It's definitely an Enhancement type!"

Those who witnessed this scene made almost the same judgment.

In front of the gate.

Vic stood in front of Abbotland and said in a deep voice, "Dad, step back first."

however,
But no answer was heard.

Vic's expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly turned around.

But what they saw was Ebolan's headless body, and a stranger beside him radiating a powerful aura of Nen.

"when……!?"

Vic's pupils contracted sharply.

Poof.
