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

Chapter 204 The Nosra Family's Submission! The Deal with Gold!

Before Kim arrived, Lynn received another piece of good news.

Capone officially became one of the Ten Elders.

From then on, he became one of the world's leading gangsters and a high-ranking figure across the six continents, and the entire Capone family rose in status as well.

The original Capone family could only be described as a rising force, a promising new gang, but they were still far from being on par with the Ten Elders.

The fact that the Ten Elders have now become so powerful is nothing short of a meteoric rise in the eyes of other gangs, elevating them from their equals to being above them.

The position of the Ten Elders was not just for show; it also brought numerous benefits, including money, fame, and status.

When someone becomes famous, they naturally attract all sorts of attention.

In the world of organized crime, where the big fish eat the small fish, gangs that are not part of the Ten Elders basically have only one choice: to submit to any one of the Ten Elders' gangs.

Just like when pirates reach the New World stage, the latter half of the Grand Line, most of them have to submit to the Four Emperors for protection.

However, there are exceptions.

There will always be some people who are unwilling to be subordinate to others and will launch an attack on the behemoth that is the Four Emperors. However, this path is incredibly difficult, and the vast majority of them will fall to their deaths.

But once successful, one can rise to the top in one step.

The Capone family is a case in point. From the moment they began to emerge, they were targeted by the Duke family, one of the Ten Elders. The Duke family even sent the Sick Dog from the Shadow Beasts to put pressure on them, but the Sick Dog was dealt with easily.

After that, Duke and Jerome, along with their families, were all dealt with, and the Ten Elders suddenly became the Eight Elders.

This was simply because they wanted to target a new gang.

The outcome of this event surprised many people. After this battle, the Capone family's name spread far and wide, and they even became a role model for the lower-level gangs and a legend in the underworld.

Capone had only been in power for a few days when numerous forces, large and small, came to pledge allegiance, including Nen users.

Lynn always believed that professional tasks should be done by professionals.

No one is more professional than Capone, the godfather of the underworld, when it comes to managing gangs, so he has always been a hands-off manager.

However, one name among the surrendered forces caught Lynn's attention.

The Nosra family.

Inside the villa.

living room.

The slightly aged Lightnosra sat upright with a tense expression. Despite being a powerful and authoritative mob boss, he appeared unusually reserved at this moment.

She didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of displeasing the person in front of her.

Before him stood the true leader of the Capone family!

Wright cautiously glanced at the handsome young man sitting on the sofa in front of him, then lowered his gaze, not daring to look directly at him.

-

His daughter, Neo, who was standing beside him, was not aware of this. She silently looked at Lynn, blinked, and showed a look of curiosity.

She felt that Lynn was very special, the most beautiful person she had ever seen.

Wright only brought his daughter Neon and Captain Dazoni with him on this trip.

Behind Wright, Dazo Nie appeared even more nervous than Wright, standing ramrod straight and silently glancing at the two men behind Lynn, who stood like guardian deities.

Sasuke and Zoro.

His biggest concern is Zoro.

Neither Sasuke nor Zoro released their auras. Normally, Zoro wouldn't be this nervous, but the problem was that when he entered the manor, he had glimpsed Zoro training with a giant dumbbell bigger than a vehicle.

The dumbbells are even larger than a person.

That scene left an indelible impression on him.

That's an absolute powerhouse!

If you have bad feelings towards them —

Dazo shook his head almost imperceptibly, "Please don't do that."

The quiet environment didn't last long.

"Leitnosla?" Lynn asked calmly.

"Yes!" Wright almost had a heart attack, but quickly realized what was happening and his voice was slightly shrill as his heart raced.

What can you offer me?

Lynn cut straight to the point without mincing words, and he could guess what Wright wanted to say.

"The entire Nosra family will be loyal to you, and will do everything in their power to fulfill your orders," Wright said, taking a deep breath to calm himself down. He then looked at Neon beside him.

"I don't know if you know this, but my beloved daughter Neon is an extremely rare natural Nen user. She can tell fortunes, and her accuracy is very high."

"Nion will do fortune telling for you whenever you need it."

"I'm not unfamiliar with it; it is indeed a remarkable ability." Lynn nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Neon as he recalled the days when he disguised himself as an exorcist to exorcise Neon's spirit.

A year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Wright was overjoyed.

It seems that Lord Lynn is interested in Neon.

Yes, Neon has always been his biggest trump card, from the family's rise to power to their current allegiance to the Capone family.

Neon's divination could not be wrong!

Wright looked at Lynn and made up his mind.

Originally, the Nosra family had submitted to the Jerome family, but after the Jerome family was wiped out, they had no choice but to seek other allies.

He specifically asked Neon to perform a divination for him, and after careful consideration, he appeared here and chose the Capone family.

"You've also been following Neon? That's truly an honor for us." Wright smiled, his nervousness lessening somewhat.

So far, Lynn seems to be relatively easy to get along with.

Lynn changed the subject: "I wonder if the head of the Nosra family remembers that an exorcist performed an exorcism on your daughter Neon at the beginning of last year."

Wright paused for a moment, then said, "I remember, that was the nameless master. It was thanks to him that Neon was safe and sound."

.

"Do you know the nameless master?"

I guess so.

"I am Nameless," Lynn said casually.

But it gave Wright and the other two a jolt.

Was that mysterious, nameless master who exorcised Neon's spirits actually Lynn standing before me?!

Nyon's mouth opened slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Is this the same nameless master who exorcised her thoughts back then?

Does that mean she can still see Gengar?

Neon couldn't help but smile at the thought of the quirky and adorable Gengar.

For a moment, Wright's brain went blank, but he quickly grasped the key point.

"This...this...I'm so incredibly grateful!" Wright reacted quickly, jumping up from the sofa and bowing deeply to Lynn, saying earnestly, "Thank you for saving my daughter!"

"It's just a transaction." Lynn shook his head slightly and did not continue the topic.

Undeniably, many times a person's success depends on others, that is, benefactors.

Neon was Wright's benefactor in his life; without Neon, there would be no Wright today, nor the Nosla family today.

He also valued Neon's extraordinary divination abilities, which is why he agreed to take over the Nosra family.

Just then, he asked Nyon to do a divination for him.

In the quiet study.

Lynn looked quietly at Neo in front of her.

Neon had azure blue hair, with strands falling over her shoulders, and her pair of emerald green eyes had lost their luster.

Her clothes were mostly pink, with a white dress, and her petite face was very cute.

【Nion】sat at her desk with lifeless eyes, her body involuntarily emanating a deep and eerie aura.

Dark purple energy swirled around her, forming a bizarrely distorted "angel".

The "angel" lingered on [Nion's] pen, pulling her hand as she wrote word after word on the paper.

This is Neon's Nen ability, [Angel's Auto-Notes].

Divination is performed by automatically writing out four-line poems in a notebook.

The person whose name is chosen must write down their name, date of birth, and blood type on a piece of paper, and then Neon writes the title of the chosen name on the same piece of paper.

Judging from the original work, Neon's Nen ability is quite reliable and has a high degree of accuracy.

Moreover, it's not the kind of prophecy that, even if you know it, you can't change the future.

This ability is quite useful, and it's the only Nen ability in the original work with a prophetic effect. Its rarity is no less than that of spatial abilities like the Four-Dimensional Apartment.

Lynn sized up Neon. She was an extremely rare natural Nen user, so her talent should be quite high. He even remembered that he had once obtained two cards from Neon.

Neon, on the other hand, did not receive systematic training. She usually did nothing but play and use her Nen abilities to dominate the game. She did not even fully master the four basic elements.

With proper training, they may have a bright future.

Unfortunately, given her personality, it would be difficult for her to persevere on this path.

In the blink of an eye, a prophetic poem with four lines of text was handed to Lynn.

【Angel's Automatic Notes】usually writes four to five sentences, roughly corresponding to a period of time in the future.

[By trading with acquaintances who possess a variety of items, you'll make new friends reflected in colorful mirrors.]

Enjoy a novel and exciting life in a magical world filled with cards!

[A malicious uninvited guest brought a worthless gift of fireworks.]

Among the piles of cards, you will find endless treasures.

Lynn took the paper and carefully read through each line of text. Because there were not many words, it was concise and clear.

It's basically about what happened next.

"Transactions between acquaintances" likely refers to transactions involving gold.

What does the second half of the sentence mean? Meeting new friends in colorful mirrors?

You can recognize your friends in the mirror? Is it inspired by character cards from horror movies?

Lynn read through the few sentences. He was certain about some of the content, but for others he was just guessing and not quite sure.

Anyway, it seems like there's nothing seriously wrong. The third sentence mentions the appearance of enemies, but doesn't specify the consequences.

If Neon's divination mentions a fatal event, it will be written in a more explicit way, such as, "The basement where all items will appreciate in value; that place will become your peaceful bed."

Furthermore, if you want him dead now—we'll talk about it when the Ant King arrives.

Lynn casually put away the stanza, and could only say that compared to Basho's haiku, Nion's stanza was much more elegant.

Although Basho later deliberately studied haiku and improved his skills, his overall style was still just so-so and not particularly beautiful.

The Nosra family did not originally live in Yorkshire, but since they had submitted to the Capone family and for the convenience of using Neon, Lynn had Wright move to Yorkshire.

He can have Nyon reserve the space for him whenever he needs it.

Strictly speaking, this was the first "divination" method he possessed.

After all, "taking the tissue" only affects luck, while Neon's ability is the true meaning of foreseeing the future.

Not long after this little incident, Jin, the prodigal son, arrived.

That is the first sentence of the prophecy.

living room.

Despite his travel-worn appearance, Jin still sported the attire of a vagabond.

Jin plopped down on the sofa without any ceremony, picked up a wild apple from the coffee table that looked like a miniature apple, and started to eat it. He had noticed this fruit as soon as he entered the room; it was unusual.

The B-grade apple seeds grow very quickly, bearing fruit successfully in just one month. Although no effect was triggered, more than twenty apples were harvested at once.

And the fruit trees are still there, and the fruit can be harvested about once every two weeks.

After taking two bites, a glint of light flashed in his golden eyes: "Your fruit tastes quite good, not simple at all."

"It can also speed up the recovery of Nen energy, that's great!"

Jin muttered to herself, studying the wild apple with great seriousness.

Lynn said helplessly, "Here are two for you. Let's get down to business first."

"Oh right." Jin puffed out his cheeks, swallowed, and said seriously.

After the trip to the Demon Realm, Jin, as the team representative, handled the follow-up matters, mainly liaising with forces such as the Ferry Hall.

The Ferrymen wanted to obtain vanilla from them through trade, and offered several options for doing so.

Lynn wasn't particularly interested in these things, so there was no transaction. He only knew that Jin used a herb to complete the transaction, and the contents seemed to be related to the Dark Continent.

Then, the two moved on to the next main topic.

Exchange cards for items.

Although he couldn't get the official Greed Island cards, Kin did have some decent Nen items in reserve.

Some of these can be seen as weaker versions of the Greed Island cards, differing in their effects and usage conditions.

Overall, there are still some items that Lynn might find interesting, such as the Fountain of Wine, which is an A-rank card in Greed Island.

If you draw water from this spring and let it sit for a week, it will turn into wine. Although the type of wine is random, it is always very delicious.

The weakened version of Jin's Wine Fountain effect is that if you put wine in it, there are two possible results after a week: the wine will taste better or the wine will taste worse.

For example, the small ball he used to protect Nob in the Demon Realm was called the "Temporary Protective Shield," which could quickly form a protective shield made of Nen.

The shield can only be used on others and requires the user's Nen energy as its power source, lasting for a maximum of three minutes.

Jin was also amazed by the card items that Lynn took out.

Although I had heard that Lynn's Nen ability was actually a card, I still found myself unconsciously focusing on the abilities and Nen beasts he displayed.

Explosive paper tags, scrolls that release tree defenses when torn (one-time use Wood Wall Technique), and a fruit that transforms the user into a jackal (Jackal Fruit) —

The sheer number of cards was dazzling, and this was only the list of cards Lynn had selected for trading; the truly powerful ones were yet to be revealed.

Both parties were very interested in the items the other possessed, so they quickly made a trade and completed the transaction in no time.

Just as Lynn thought Kim was about to leave, Kim took a Greed Island game console out of his pocket and placed it on the table.
