Chapter 80 - 8: Discussion (1/2)
”Unbelievable...”
”These are auction items!”
Gon, Killua and Leorio were stunned when they entered Jame's room.
They had come to the hotel reception and asked to see James, the receptionist after James' permission made them go up to his suite.
But once inside, they were amazed by the spectacle that awaited them.
Sarcophagi, jewelry, collectible weapons, and even human organs stored in boxes were present throughout the room with James sitting on a chair and smiling at them.
”Are you impressed with my collection?”
Hearing the words of James the three quickly came to their senses, Killua still surprised couldn't help but ask.
”Where do all these collectibles come from? Don't tell me you're part of the Phantom Troupe.”
”No, but I stole them last night, as it originally belonged to the mafia, I prefer to say that I stole from thieves.”
”What!”
The three were stunned by James' harmless behavior as he was surrounded by stolen objects while pronouncing such a headlight so casually.
James was slightly embarrassed to see their strange staring at him as if he were an alien, so he changed the subject.
”But let's get back to business, why did you come to see me?”
Remembering the purpose of their visits, Gon quickly explained the situation to James, who listened curiously and nodded his head.
”So you want to capture a member of the Troop for the reward, you wanted to contact Kurapika but he ignored you and now you come to me for advice?”
”Yes, that sums it up nicely.” Said Leorio.
James slowly got up from his chair and stopped a meter away from the three who were looking at him.
”Tell me how powerful you think you are, or rather how well you think you master the techniques of nen.”
The three thought for a moment before Killua said :
”We've already faced nen users in the Heavens Arena so I think we're in the middle of the pack except for Leorio who's a beginner.”
”Don't you dare despise me, you brat!” Said Leorio angrily.
But for a moment the whole thing froze, their nen instinctively came out of their bodies and protected them their legs were heavy as if lead had been attached to them, their hearts were accelerating at full speed under James' piercing gaze.
They instinctively wanted to go backwards, but their brains sent them an absolute message.
”Move and you will die!”
