Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 55 Fight
a minute ago.

On top of a building in front of the Fountain Square.

Shiba stood on the edge of the rooftop, her long hair fluttering in the wind.

He took out his cell phone and glanced at the content of the text message. He paused, put the phone away, and looked at the figures in the square below with his wolf-like eyes.

As night falls, the tower-shaped fountain pool in the center of the square flashes with colorful lights.

The light show dancing with the flowing water attracted the attention of most pedestrians in the square.

They walked towards the fountain with smiles on their faces, and even the children playing there ran over with laughter.

The members of the Phantom Troupe, led by Kuroro, avoided the crowd that was attracted by the fountain light show.

They stepped over the brilliant light effects that flickered on the ground, and amidst the elongated shadows, they passed through the other side of the fountain pool and headed towards the edge of the square.

On top of the building.

Silva's sight followed Chrollo and the others below, and slowly locked onto one of them.

The 8th member of the Phantom Troupe.

Xiba stared at the man, his mental energy surging like a torrent. He then raised his right hand, and the wave-like mental energy on it suddenly became sharp.

This sharp stalactite-like shape of mental energy is the phenomenon that the ability user concentrates the center of gravity of attack on a certain point. It is also a prominent feature of the ability user before attacking.

However, when Shiba was directing his mental energy to attack, there was not even the slightest hint of murderous intent revealed in his mental energy.

His mind energy was like a rushing river, but no sound of water could be heard.

This is obviously the result of a long period of refinement.

Then he took action, leaping high into the sky. The sharp energy surrounding his palm instantly turned into an electrified energy ball with a diameter of more than one meter.

Then, he was like a meteor streaking through the night sky, hitting the 8th member of the Phantom Troupe with incredible precision.

Before this trajectory containing terrifying destructive power descended vertically, the scattered members such as Kuroro, Paknoda, Kubi, Xiake, Machi, Face Shadow, and the first member named Lucius, No. 8, all sensed the fleeting sense of crisis.

That sense of crisis was like a flash of electric wave passing through my mind.

The scary thing about it is...

Even if you "see" it, your body will not have time to respond.

Along with a loud noise that echoed throughout the city, a pit appeared on the square paved with hard stone slabs. With the pit as the center point, spider-web-like cracks spread out over a range of dozens of meters towards the surrounding stone slabs.

Inside the pit, Lucius died tragically on the spot, his entire back twisted and deformed, and severely sunken.

Shiba stood next to the corpse and took out his cell phone without changing his expression.

As for the other members of the Phantom Troupe, they all retreated to the stone floor covered with spider web cracks, and looked at Silva with murderous eyes who had suddenly attacked and killed Lucius.

The opponent's assassination method...

There is no need to say much about the speed and power, but what is terrifying is the silence after the attack.

Kuroro's eyes were cold, without any other emotions.

In contrast, the other members of the group were still feeling frightened from the moment they were surprised to the moment their eyes showed murderous intent.

They knew very well that if Silva's target was any one of them, their fate would be basically the same as Lucius'.

It’s not that I think Silba’s strength is so strong that it is unmatched. The reason I think so is more because of Silba’s ability to attack and kill that is hard to defend against.

Facing the death stares from Kuroro and the others, Silba remained unmoved. He used his toes to flip over the corpse, then took out his cell phone and took a picture of the corpse's face.

When attacking, he deliberately avoided the head in order to ensure the integrity of the face.

In fact, with the reputation earned by the fathers of the Zoldyck family, there is no need to go to such a level.

But after decades of professional career, it is inevitable that Silva will develop some habits that come from professional ethics.

After sending the photo of the corpse to the client, Shiba immediately dialed the designated number.

A second later, the call was connected.

"The commission has been completed. Please transfer the money to the previously designated account." After saying this, Shiba hung up the call and put away his phone, doing his job with ease.

However, his behavior was equivalent to revealing his identity as a killer to Kuroro and the others.

Kuroro's eyes were still cold and sharp, staring at Silva intently.

"You killed my team members. Now, you have two choices."

His voice was cold, and even though his companions were dying before his eyes, his tone was so calm that not a trace of anger or sadness could be heard.

Silva ignored Chrollo's words and walked out of the pit on his own.

With his action, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense.

Machi and several other members of the group looked at Shiba who had walked to the other side of the pit, and they all released their murderous intent without reservation.

It was at this moment that the stunned pedestrians in the square finally reacted, as if time had started again, and they fled the square in panic, screaming.

For a moment, the entire square was in extreme chaos, with screams and children crying everywhere.

Only the light show in the fountain pool was unaffected, continuing to flash and dance.

Kuroro did not stop the group members from venting their emotions, and stared at Silva on the other side of the pit.

When facing various situations, the group rules should be the main focus, as they are the foundation of the group.

So regardless of strength, the moment Silva kills Lucius, the rules for replacing team members will take effect immediately.

Kuroro took off his hat, sunglasses and other items used for disguise and threw them aside. Then he looked at Silva and continued in a calm tone:
"One, accept the offer and join my team, two, refuse and die here."

Hearing what Kuroro said, Silva suddenly stopped and looked back at Kuroro who had already assumed a fighting stance.

Silva saw an unquestionable meaning in the wave-like mental energy emanating from Kuroro.

Very good energy, this young man... is not simple.

Silva made an evaluation in his heart, then withdrew his gaze, still ignoring Kuroro's suggestion, and left without saying a word.

Seeing that Silva still didn't respond to Kuroro's words, Machi and several other members suddenly released their maximum aura and revealed their sharp fangs.

But Kuroro took direct action.

Shiba's reaction of turning a blind eye was tantamount to rejection.

Swish!
Kuroro's figure flashed away.

The other side of the pit.

Silva, with his back to the group, raised his eyes slightly, and when he took a step and landed, his figure flashed away.

next moment.

Suddenly, there was a dull sound of fists and elbows colliding in the field.

At the source of the sound, two figures appeared out of nowhere. They were Kuroro and Silva.

Bang bang bang...!
The two men launched a fierce attack, and when their fists and feet collided, circles of mental energy ripples were generated.

In just one second, the two of them fought for more than ten rounds using pure physical and mental techniques, and then suddenly separated.

As Kuroro retreated, his feet plowed the ground, creating white smoke and a streak of blood appeared on his arm, but he didn't even look at it, just stared at Silva.

Shiba also retreated to the ground, but as steady as a mountain, looking at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as Illumi.
-
on the street.

The crowd fled from the square, their faces filled with panic.

However, Hisoka walked against the crowd, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking towards the direction of the square.

far away.

Moro also walked against the crowd, but he looked towards the nearby commanding heights.
