After Blood Shark Sabitovich stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere in the entire arena reached a fever pitch, and the host continued:
"Next, we are about to introduce an exceedingly rare legendary fighter since the founding of Heavens Arena!
Starting from the 1st Floor, she has ended every single battle in an instant. After reaching the 200th Floor, she completely gave up the ninety-day convenience granted by the Application Battle System and, from the very first day, accepted nine matches in one go!
Aside from three matches that she forfeited due to not appearing at the venue, the other six were no exception at all. Just like before, she defeated every opponent with a single move!
That's right, she is the fighter with an angelic face and a bloodstained name—Android 18!!!"
"Waaaah! Waaaah!"
The facts proved that no matter where you went, beautiful women would always be more attractive than men.
Only, amid the cheers of the crowd, Android 18's figure never appeared at all.
"Where's Android 18?" Gon and the others were obviously stunned.
They had only just fought their way into the one-hundredth floors when they heard news that Android 18 was going to battle, so they had specially spent quite a lot of money on tickets to come watch.
But judging from the situation, Android 18 seemed to have... not come to compete at all?!
At that moment, agitation also broke out in the audience stands.
"Eh? Eh? Eh??? Is Fighter 18 here? Is Fighter 18 here?!! No way, could it be that, just like the previous three matches, she failed to show up for no reason again? This is a Floor Master Qualification Match! Has Fighter 18 really given up? Or did she choose to retreat because she feared Sabitovich's terrifying strength?!!"
Hearing the host's words, the corner of Sabitovich's mouth twitched.
"Fear? Retreat?"
He touched his face, which had finally managed to recover from the swelling, and felt lingering dread.
Even now, he still remembered what that woman had done to him that day.
At the time, that woman had appeared before him like a demon and said bluntly, "Give me five hundred million Jenny, and I'll give up the victory in this match."
In the end, he had failed to understand how dangerous she was. He mouthed off a few extra filthy words, and then his whole face was slapped into the shape of a pig's. Half his teeth were knocked out too. In the end, the deal for the fixed match was settled at a price of one billion Jenny.
Thinking back on it now, Sabitovich still felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, that woman had come to negotiate a price with him to throw the match. Otherwise, if he had met her in the arena, he very likely would have been killed on the spot, and all his fame, wealth, and privileges would have vanished.
Although paying a full billion Jenny made his heart ache, this was already the best possible outcome, wasn't it?
As soon as that thought crossed his mind, Sabitovich immediately straightened up, put his right hand on his waist, and raised his left hand toward the audience in a "V" sign.
"Roaaar!"
Judging purely from the pose, he looked exactly like the kind of fool who was about to be kicked flying.
...
In the end, the match concluded with Sabitovich's victory.
Near Heavens Arena, in a casino.
"I'm here to collect my gambling winnings."
A tall, bulky giant who was wrapped up from head to toe came to claim the money he had won from betting.
The casino manager handed over a credit card with an ugly look on his face. As he watched the tall figure walk away, the manager's eyes gradually filled with danger.
This person had bet a full two billion Jenny on the option "Android 18 does not participate in the match, Sabitovich wins by default."
Even though betting two billion had already lowered the odds quite a bit, it was still a massive loss for the casino!
...
"Phew... I'm not doing this again in the future. I did make a lot, but it's way too troublesome, and it's a pain."
A blonde, blue-eyed beauty flicked her hair and paid no attention whatsoever to the dozens of casino enforcers she had already knocked down after they came chasing after her.
That blonde, blue-eyed beauty was none other than Android 18!
The reason she had not participated in the Floor Master Qualification Match was, on one hand, that she had struck a deal with Sabitovich, and on the other hand, that she had placed a heavy bet on herself losing by failing to show up.
As for her capital, part of it naturally came from the prize money she had earned by fighting her way through Floors 1 to 199 in Heavens Arena, while the other part came from the compensation she received for throwing matches with her opponents above the 200th Floor.
As long as the deal had been settled, Android 18 would not show up in the arena. That was also why she had already failed to appear in three matches before this one~~~
Just as Android 18 was about to head back, her eyes shifted, and she looked toward a nearby alley.
A petite, cute-looking beauty stepped out from the darkness of the alley.
"Thanks to you, I made quite a bit too."
The purple-haired beauty held up a card between two fingers. "That day, I happened to see you coming out of Sabitovich's room. Even though you moved very quickly, I still caught a trace of your features, and after comparing them, I confirmed it was you. Not long after that, Sabitovich left with his face wrapped in clothes.
"I'm very sensitive to the smell of blood. I smelled blood coming from Sabitovich's face. Later, not only did Sabitovich not leave Heavens Arena, he kept building momentum around the match instead. At that point, I understood that the two of you must have reached some kind of deal. And that deal was... your loss in the match."
"Pretty smart~" Android 18 admitted it openly.
"The reason I'm saying all this is because I think you and I are pretty similar. We're both rather interested in money. And on top of that, you helped me make a fortune too..."
As she spoke, the mobile phone at the purple-haired beauty's waist suddenly rang.
"Hello, Boss... Is that so? Bonolenov and the others... All right, I understand. After I pass the order on to that new No. 4, I'll head over."
After hanging up, the purple-haired beauty did not say another word to Android 18 and left at once.
Android 18 also paid no further attention to this suddenly appearing purple-haired beauty and simply departed~~~

Under Wing's guidance, Killua finally got his wish and learned Nen.
It had to be known that, in the original version, considering the relationship between the Zoldyck family and Chairman Netero, if the Zoldyck family had not tacitly approved it, Killua would not have been allowed to learn Shingen-ryu Nen at all.
