Hunter x Hunter: My Nen Beast is Strong

Chapter 81 Hisoka's Method

"As long as you help me find Paknotan, my promise will still stand," Kuroro said calmly, his expression quickly returning to normal.

"Commander?" Finks was clearly unable to tolerate such a betrayal.

Hisoka twirled the playing cards in his hand, glanced at Chrollo's figure, and his fighting spirit had not actually subsided; on the contrary, it had been aroused by his brief battle with Chrollo.

Even with Phinks present, Hisoka was tempted to start a fight right now.

But after calming down quickly, Hisoka chuckled and said, "Even if the leader is willing, I doubt the members would. I think we should forget it and see each other again sometime."

After Hisoka finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Hisoka thought he could just leave so easily, Phinks naturally wasn't going to listen. He jumped to the door and blocked Hisoka's path, saying, "Aren't you going to explain where that guy Eligi took Pakunotan?"

"What just happened was an accident. I don't know where Eligi took them, but I'll let you know if I have any news." Hisoka fiddled with the playing cards, ready for battle at any moment.

While dealing with two people at the same time might be difficult, it's not impossible to give it a try; it might even be more exciting.

"Finx, let him leave. He probably doesn't know what's going on. The most important thing now is to find Paknotan," Kuroro said.

"Commander? Damn it!" Phinks was clearly angry, but he still made way for them in the end.

Just like Kuroro said, the most important thing now is to find Paknotan.

Paknotan was taken away directly, and Phinks bears some responsibility for that.

After all, there are rules in the brigade: when danger comes, even if it means sacrificing combat personnel, the support personnel must be protected and allowed to escape.

Hisoka glanced at Kuroro, whose calm demeanor was truly captivating. It was a pity that now was not the right time to savor him.

Hisoka left the warehouse, preparing to go find Eliji.

After a while, Hisoka, who had left the warehouse, fiddled with his phone, thinking that if he went directly to find Erigi, Erigi might not even tell him his location.

Soon, Hisoka came up with an idea and picked up his phone to dial a number.

It's Kurapika's number; Hisoka wants to find Erigi through Kurapika.

It seems that Kurapika and Erigi have a very good relationship.

After dialing several times, Hisoka finally got through to Kurapika and said directly, "Kurapika, this is Hisoka."

"Hisoka? What do you want with me?" Kurapika's tone was somewhat wary, because Hisoka was a member of the Phantom Troupe.

Hisoka quickly went through the details in his mind and finally said, "Tell me a time and place, and we'll meet. I have some news about the Phantom Troupe to tell you."

Kurapika was clearly surprised, but he wasn't stupid. He knew Hisoka must have a purpose for being so proactive, so he asked directly, "What's your purpose? Just say it over the phone."

"What purpose could I possibly have? Don't you already know? I just want to duel the Phantom Troupe leader. You could say I'm helping you. Don't you want to know news about the Phantom Troupe? Very important news. Maybe we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop," Hisoka coaxed.

Kurapika was clearly tempted after hearing this. Although he knew it might be a trap, he had no choice but to take the risk in order to get useful information.

Since Hisoka was introduced by Eligi, he still has some credibility.

Finally, Kurapika gave a location and time: "Meet at the coffee shop at 5 p.m.

"Hehehe, I look forward to meeting you," Hisoka said with a smile.

And so, Hisoka and Kurapika agreed to meet at 5 p.m.

At 5 p.m., in a coffee shop, Hisoka saw Kurapika.

Seeing the dangerous aura emanating from Kurapika, Hisoka couldn't help but smile and said, "As expected, your growth is no less than that of Eriji."

Kurapika, expressionless, stared straight at him and said, "I don't have much time left. Tell me the news quickly."

Hisoka, toying with his playing cards, said, "Did you know that Eligi captured a member of the Phantom Troupe?"

Kurapika was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but his expression remained unchanged. He simply said coldly, "I haven't received any information. How did you know?"

"How did you know? Because I was there at the time, but I got tricked by Eligi. He promised to hold off the Phantom Troupe members." Hisoka's tone was somewhat resentful.

Such a great opportunity was missed.

"Are you telling the truth?" Kurapika suddenly revealed the chain on his ring finger.

This is Kurapika's Nen ability. The chain on his ring finger is called "Chain of Souls," a chain with a sphere at the end.

Its main capabilities are tracking, locating, and testing lies, with an accuracy rate of 100%.

So Kurapika is using this ability to test whether Hisoka is lying.

Hisoka glanced at the chains and smiled. Although he didn't know the power of Kurapika's chains, he could guess what it was.

Hisoka wasn't lying, so he answered directly, "Of course it's true."

The chains didn't shake, proving that Hisoka was telling the truth.

At this point, Kurapika asked again, "Have you participated in the extermination of the Kurta clan?"

This is the basis of the cooperation: Hisoka cannot be someone who participated in the extermination of the Kurta tribe.

"Extermination of the clan? Hehehe, I only recently joined the Phantom Troupe, so I shouldn't have participated in the extermination activities you mentioned," Hisoka replied truthfully.

It's rare to see Hisoka so sincere.

The chains remained still, proving that Hisoka was not lying.

However, Kurapika is an extreme perfectionist and also has doubts about himself, so after Hisoka finished speaking, Kurapika immediately called Eriji.

By this time, Eligi and his crew had already returned to their residence inside the gangster building, which was right next to the building.

The Paknotan were also brought out and bound with several ropes.

It was just an ordinary rope, which was practically useless to Nen users, but Pakunotan didn't act rashly. Just by looking at the "entanglement" on the bodies of Eligi and the others, she knew that she was no match for them.

"Now it's interrogation time. How many members are in the Phantom Troupe?" Eligi asked with a serious expression.

Paknotan chose to remain silent and uncooperative. Seeing this, Eligi did not resort to punishment, but simply said to himself, "There are thirteen members, aren't there?"

Paknotan remained silent and chose not to cooperate.

Seeing this, Eligi was not angry, but simply said, "We have a Nen user here who can make you loyal to us for thirty minutes. You will say whatever you want during that time."

"But you'll forget all of these things, so would you rather remain clear-headed when answering questions, or lose yourself and answer based on your instincts?"

Eligi's words were extremely damaging. Pakunoda knew that such an operation would be easy for Nen users to find, and there might even be one on the scene.

Therefore, Paknottan stated directly, "I would just commit suicide if that were the case."
