"How did you find them?" Roy asked, pointing at the Phantom Troupe members off to the side, all of them on full alert.
This man who had flown in from the sky clearly had a strange ability, and he seemed very familiar with this blonde, blue-eyed woman.
"When I was at Heavens Arena, I crossed paths with that purple-haired woman once, so I remembered her aura."
Roy immediately understood.
At the side, Machi tightened the thread in her hand.
Just from a brief encounter, he had memorized her aura and could track her location? This kind of ability... wait! Why did this feel so familiar?
And the direction this man had flown in from seemed to be the exact direction where Uvogin had gotten into trouble!
In an instant, not just Machi and Pakunoda, but even a simple-minded Enhancer like Phinks sensed it too.
"What, you want me to give them up?" Android 18 raised an eyebrow. "Each one of them is worth a full two billion!"
The hidden meaning in her words was obvious. You want me to let such a big catch go? Fine. But you had better give me a reasonable explanation.
Roy thought for a moment, then leaned over and whispered a few words into Android 18's ear.
Her eyes lit up at once.
"Really? I can actually do that?"
"Of course."
"I love you, Roy!!!"
The Phantom Troupe members could only watch helplessly as Android 18 and Roy openly flirted with each other, yet none of them dared to move. Until the situation became clear, they were not going to make any rash moves.
Wasn't Feitan still lying there?!
At last, after Roy and Android 18 finished talking, Roy walked over to the Troupe.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Roy." Roy greeted them very politely.
Roy!!!
Ilo!!!
Even an idiot could more or less tell there was definitely some unspeakable connection between them.
"That bastard!" Phinks ground his teeth. "So when that guy joined the Troupe, he really did have bad intentions!"
"Oh, right. One more thing. Uvogin really is dead. In a sense, I did kill him."
"You bastard!" Phinks finally snapped. With a furious roar, he swung his arm, veins bulging and looking ready to burst, and smashed it hard at Roy.
Bang!
He hit him, but it had none of the effect he expected.
Phinks's Ripper Cyclotron was casually caught by Roy with one hand.
"You should understand," Roy said calmly, but there was no warmth at all in his voice.
Phinks twisted his face savagely and tried to pull his arm back, but no matter how hard he strained, it felt as if his arm had been embedded in steel. It did not move in the slightest.
"Since I've already revealed enough information to you, there's no reason to let any of you go back alive."
As he spoke, Roy raised his other hand and condensed a golden ki blast sphere.
The moment they saw that sphere and felt the terrifying pressure coming from it, Machi and Pakunoda's hearts sank all the way down. They immediately recalled the sphere of light Ilo had used back when he dealt with the Shadow Beasts.
"Run! Machi, Paku, tell the Boss what happened! I'll hold him off!" Phinks roared, swinging his other arm as well.
The moment Phinks finished speaking, Pakunoda and Machi ran in opposite directions. However—
A sharp sound tore through the air.
Bang!
Machi looked at Android 18 standing in front of her, and her face turned ugly.
She did not even need to guess what that sound had been. It was obviously the sound of Pakunoda collapsing behind her.
"I'm not going to let you leave that easily." A beautiful smile curled at the corner of Android 18's lips.
Feitan was down, Paku was down, and Phinks was clearly being suppressed. A bleak thought abruptly rose in Machi's heart.
"Is Yorknew City where it ends for us?"
…
Just to be safe, Roy knocked Machi and Phinks unconscious as well.
"So what are you planning to do next?" Android 18 walked over to Roy's side and asked softly.
"I'm going to find Ilo. It's time to settle the Phantom Troupe matter once and for all. There are still two members wandering outside. They're tracking down the whereabouts of Kurapika's employer's daughter, so go help Kurapika."
"No problem. Dead or alive?"
"Alive, of course. I'm still counting on them to work for me in the future."
"You can handle it alone?"
"Ha, you're underestimating me too much."
…
Meanwhile, at the abandoned building.
"So it's done?" Ilo murmured inwardly.
He could sense that Phinks and the others' auras had weakened a great deal, and Roy's aura had appeared near that place.
And now, he could also sense Roy clearly heading this way.
That made the situation perfectly clear.
To prevent the Spiders from scattering and fleeing, and to keep Chrollo from escaping during the chaos, he had gone through all this trouble to lure the Spiders away and deliberately create such a favorable situation.
At the moment, the one left standing guard was only Kortopi, who basically had no combat ability. Shizuku had little sense of good and evil. The only one there who could really fight was Franklin.
And Franklin had already lost to Ilo before.
As for Hisoka, more or less, he counted as being on Roy's side.
Since there was no problem on Roy's end, it was about time for things to begin here as well.
Thinking that, Ilo slowly rose to his feet, stretched lazily, let out a long breath, and his eyes brightened.
"What's wrong, Ilo?" Chrollo said calmly as he flipped through his book.
But his attention had already shifted heavily onto Ilo.
"Nothing. It's just that everything has been handled. Time to wrap things up."
Chrollo's hand paused on the page, then he lifted his head and looked straight into Ilo's eyes.
"What do you mean?"
The atmosphere gradually turned heavy. Kortopi slowly moved closer to Chrollo's side, and Franklin extended his hand with a dark expression.
Only Shizuku still wore her usual vacant look, while the curve of Hisoka's lips kept growing wider.
"It doesn't mean much. Just that I think the name 'Phantom Troupe' can become history."
