Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

Chapter 190 The Zoldycks want to assassinate Capone! Deal with the Shadow Beast!

Compared to these purple bees, the rotting corpses were nothing.

While corpses have high defense, they have poor attack capabilities; they can simply be worn down over time.

But these purple bees are different.

Not only are they fast-moving and powerful, but they also fly in the air, making them even more threatening than the rotting corpses. One wrong move and you could lose a member.

Seeing this, everyone ignored the quickly cleared-away corpses and focused their attention on the purple bees, observing their every move.

Lynn stared at the purple bee, and just now he understood why the rotting corpse had rushed over.

In fact, the protective suits they wear can conceal their presence to some extent, making them less likely to be detected.

Those rotting corpses probably didn't know they were there beforehand, and even if they rushed over and saw them, they didn't think they were that strong.

After their Waterloo, the purple bees behind them were closing in, so they had no choice but to go all the way down the same path.

Their intelligence is probably not high, after all, their bodies are controlled by just a small insect.

The rotting corpses were quickly dealt with, and the swarm of purple bees hovered in the air, noticing them but not launching an attack.

Instead, they left even faster—a reaction similar to the fleeing corpses, wanting only to get away from them.

Are the purple bees wary of them?

"These beasts are incredibly intelligent; they can tell we're not to be messed with just by looking at them," Leo remarked casually, swinging his axe.

Norb, standing next to Lynn, analyzed, "In fact, many creatures in nature have early warning capabilities and can avoid risks in advance."

"They must have seen our superior numbers and the formidable strength we displayed, so they retreated on their own."

It's actually a good thing that no fight broke out, as they still know very little about this forest and this demonic realm.

A hasty battle could easily lead to more risks and expose potential dangers lurking in the shadows, so careful exploration is still necessary.

After encountering strange insects, rotting corpses, and purple bees, people gained a deeper understanding of the eeriness of the purple forest.

After the purple bees retreated, they continued their exploration as planned, and this time they didn't encounter any special situations.

After walking for a while through the purple forest, it was dusk in the magic realm. The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun covered the forest.

After they arrived at a slightly raised hillside, they stood on the high ground and looked into the distance, ignoring the strangely shaped purple trees. At the end of their line of sight, they saw a strange scene.

It appeared to be some kind of large building, standing in the distance.

Such a thing actually exists in the Demon Realm?

Is it possible that humans or unknown intelligent beings are living here?

This was a major discovery for them after entering the demonic realm, so they quickly determined their next move: to head to the location of the building and explore it, while being even more cautious.

While Lynn explored the Demon Realm with the others, Capone's side was also making good progress.

Youkexin.

Under the cover of night, the lights are dim.

This gangster city, rife with deals and violence, seems to have no "night," even at night it's brightly lit with neon lights.

Gunfights are nothing new in this city, but tonight's situation is a bit special.

The two sides in the battle are the Capone family, which is currently enjoying great power, and the Duke family and the Jerome family, who are two of the Ten Elders.

In the northern part of the city, Capone's territory, several streets had become a battlefield, with terrifying gunshots and artillery fire ringing out incessantly.

Bang! Bang! Bang—

One by one, the dark, deep muzzles of the guns spat out bright yellow bullets, interspersed with a blinding flash of light.

The battlefield was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

The two major gangs joined forces to launch a fierce attack on the Capone family.

Burning ground, indiscriminate gunfire, and deafening explosions could be seen from every corner.

as well as----

Corpses littered the ground, and blood dripped everywhere!

In any war involving fire, people inevitably die. In wars fought with firearms, ordinary people appear so vulnerable.

Both the two major gangs and the Capone family suffered losses, but as the Capone family unleashed their trump cards one after another, the battle quickly turned into a one-sided affair.

"Ah!!" A gangster suddenly went berserk, his face contorted in rage as he wildly fired at his companions.

Caught off guard, more than a dozen people died on the spot.

In the dark alley next door, a swordsman holds a phone and smiles as he manipulates others.

Once the others realized what was happening, they attacked their controlled companion, who was instantly reduced to a bloody mist amidst a hail of bullets.

But this is just the beginning.

Two figures leaped down from the nearby building and landed directly in the crowd, mowing down enemies as quickly as if they were invincible.

It was Leorio and Kurapika, the brothers.

After arriving at Yokers, they followed their master Lynn's instructions to help Capone, only to discover that the renowned Capone family was actually their master's faction.

Capone was also present, along with Pudding and Basho, while the house was guarded by other Nen users.

The Capone family is now as famous as the gangs under the Ten Elders. Not only is it large in scale and manpower, but it also has a guard team composed of more than a dozen Nen users.

Of course, most of them are C-rank Nen users, and the strongest one is Basho, who was promoted to B-rank after receiving help. He also continues to serve as the captain of the Capone Family Guard.

Besides Basho, the melody of the Dark Sonata, which was heard in the original work, was later incorporated into the Capone family.

With overwhelming firepower and the intervention of Nen users like Kurapika and Leorio, the men of the two major gangs appeared utterly helpless in the face of such a vast disparity in strength.

"Beep—Left Main Road requests backup!"

"Beep—Right Main Road requests backup!"

'

""

Countless gang members kept rushing forward, but like moths to a flame, they were quickly wiped out.

Messages requesting support kept arriving at the command center, one after another, so numerous that it was impossible to hear them all.

This caused the person in charge to look worried, and he began to worry about what would happen if they failed, as it seemed that the reinforcements would all die soon after they arrived.

Fortunately, the higher-ups had prepared a backup plan, inviting three members of the Shadow Beasts to take action in order to eliminate the Capone family in one fell swoop!

Now is the time to play our trump cards.

The street was a mess.

By this time, the enemy had been mostly eliminated.

As soon as Kurapika withdrew his twin swords, he suddenly had a premonition and instinctively retreated rapidly backward.

Peng!

Suddenly, the spot where he had just been standing exploded, and a force pierced the ground from below, revealing a strange figure amidst the thick smoke and dust.

"Was it dodged?"

"Looks like he has some ability."

The earthworm spoke calmly, hands on its hips, seemingly not taking Kurapika and the others seriously.

The earthworm's appearance is arguably the least human-like among the members of the Yin Beasts. At first glance, it looks like a large earthworm with a rough skin, a long body, and dark skin.

His gaze was fixed only on Kurapika and Leorio; in his opinion, these were the only two worthy of attention.

The other Nen users are all weaklings and not worth the trouble of the Shadow Beasts. Only that guy with the pompadour has some strength.

"I never would have guessed that the Capone family had someone like this."

"But even if it's strong, it's still just that kind of thing."

Behind the earthworm, a short porcupine and a pot-bellied leech with his hands in his pockets walked over. The three stood side by side, and at first glance, they looked quite presentable, with a certain air about them.

"Could it be—the legendary Yin Beast has made its move!"

The remaining gang members, seeing the strangely shaped earthworm and his companions, were suddenly filled with renewed hope that the earthworm and his crew could take down the Capone family.

"A Yin Beast, huh? —" Banana, dressed in a leather jacket, murmured in a low voice, her face expressionless.

What appears to outsiders as a mysterious and powerful Yin beast holds little sway over him.

Because back in early last year, their boss, Lynn, easily dealt with Sick Dog, who was also a member of the Shadow Beasts, with overwhelming strength.

Although Lynn is no longer here, Boss Capone and Lynn's two apprentices are also very strong, and are definitely no less powerful than the Shadow Beast!

Leorio raised an eyebrow, casually slung the Demon Cry over his shoulder, and looked at the increasingly bizarre-looking Shadow Beasts, remarking to Kurapika, "Are all Shadow Beasts this strange?"

"Should we even call them human? Especially that black guy."

"It's probably related to Nen ability," Kurapika said casually, glancing at the earthworms and the others as he gripped his twin swords again.

Currently, there are only three enemies, but we cannot let our guard down.

The guy who just launched the sneak attack seems to be able to walk underground and is very flexible; the other two are unknown for now.

The leech's voice was shrill, and it revealed a sinister smile: "Hurry up and finish this."

The next moment, the leech and the porcupine rushed out at the same time, while the earthworm burrowed underground, ready to launch a sneak attack at any moment.

Leorio and Kurapika have a great understanding and can divide the work without saying a word.

Leorio vs. Leech.

Kurapika vs. Porcupine.

Although the porcupine was small, it was faster than the fat, pot-bellied leech, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed up to Kurapika.

To be honest, he prefers fighting Nen users who are unarmed, because that way he can make good use of his Nen ability to control his hair.

Unfortunately, both of them wielded knives.

When the porcupine charged in front of him, Kurapika remained expressionless, simply releasing his Nen and unleashing the first strike with his left-hand sword, Commandment.

The porcupine's body bristled with tough hairs, trying to block the attack, but felt a tingling sensation upon contact.

One of the effects of the Left-Handed Blade Discipline is [Imprisonment]!

Immediately, he brought down the knife in his right hand, about to strike the porcupine.

At the same time, the ground beneath his feet shook, and earthworms crawled out from the soil, intending to ambush Kurapika. However, Capone, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, seized the opportunity and stepped forward.

Capone sneered, spread his fingers and grabbed the earthworm's face, his astonishing strength deforming the worm's face before slamming it to the ground.

boom!

Capone, at Class A, can easily unleash attacks comparable to Uvogin's Super Destructive Fist, with the ground bearing down terrifying shockwaves.

With a deafening roar, a huge crater was created, and the bloodied and unconscious lizard lay at the bottom of the pit, while thick dust billowed into the sky!

In just one encounter, one of the Shadow Beast members was eliminated!

This unexpected turn of events left the porcupine and leech looking horrified. They knew that the earthworm was the toughest and most resilient of the dark beasts, yet it couldn't withstand a single blow from Capone, this "ordinary man."

What exactly is going on?

While caught off guard, Kurapika and Leorio suddenly switched positions, catching the porcupine and leech off guard.

Leeches are more of a support type, unlike earthworms and porcupines.

Kurapika's right-hand sword, Judgment, was wrapped with immense Nen energy and swiftly sliced ​​across the leech's neck, instantly sending its enormous head flying.

The porcupine's tough fur was incredibly fragile in front of Leorio's "portable operating room." With a flash of the blade, the porcupine and its body were easily sliced ​​into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Not long after the battle began, the three members of the Shadow Beasts were swiftly eliminated!

This absolute disparity in strength plunged the gangsters, who had just begun to have hope, back into despair.

Pudding then approached the porcupine and used her ability to read its memories.

Thanks to the "portable operating room," the porcupine, though dismembered, was still alive, and Pudding learned the location of the two Ten Elders from the porcupine's memories.

Knowing the location, we can go directly there and deal with those two.

The outcome of this conflict is crucial. If successful, Capone can step over those two to become the new Ten Elders, or even gain considerable influence among them.

Soon, the two elders also learned of the complete failure.

A city within the ancient Ganyu Kingdom.

Inside a luxury villa.

"What a joke? Three Yin Beasts just died like that?" The Duke family head, with a fierce scar on his face, held his phone in disbelief.

The Yin Beasts are a secret force trained by the ten elders. Although there are only ten of them in total, each one is an elite.

With three people deployed at once, taking down the Capone family should have been a piece of cake.

After all, they had done extensive research on the Capone family, and apart from the guard captain Bajo, who was somewhat capable, the others were not very good.

But the result was completely opposite to what was expected.

The Capone family may not have suffered any losses, and Capone himself was not even hurt, but the Earthworm and others died.

Peng!

Duke was furious and threw his phone on the ground.

"What should we do!" Duke plopped down on the sofa, looking much older all of a sudden, his face ashen.

They have a blood feud with Capone, and now that they can't beat Capone, Capone will take their lives—but he doesn't want to die!

The other ten elders are all observing, as they don't have much power to draw upon.

Beside him, the bald Jerome family head, also sitting on the sofa, said in a deep voice, "This is the only way."

"What method?" Duke asked quickly.

"It'll be a lot of blood loss, but it's better than death." Jerome said seriously, taking out his phone. "We can't solve this ourselves, but someone can help us!"

"Zoldyck!"

"We've commissioned the Zoldyck family to assassinate Capone!"

Upon hearing this, Duke also felt that this was a viable solution.

Professional matters should be handled by professionals. They may lack power, but they have money, and the Zoldycks, as assassins, are willing to exchange power for money, which is just right.

If the Zoldyck family, known as the world's number one assassin family, were to take action, Capone would definitely be doomed!

With Capone dead, the Capone family will be thrown into turmoil, which they can easily resolve with little effort, and they can even make a fortune from it!

It's done!

Even if it costs more money, we must ensure that this matter succeeds!
