Chapter 228: The Most Anticipated Fights
Siper greeted him a little uncomfortably.
Both of them were applicants for the Hunter Exam, and then she also heard about the list of qualified applicants this year. This guy, Kurapika, was one of them. She was disqualified in the fourth round, but Kurapika passed.
Now, the applicants who once took the Hunter Exam together and went through hardships together, one is now a professional hunter with a bright future, and the other is a bodyguard of a mafia family… Wait?!
Siper suddenly reacted.
Lan went to pick up Kurapika, which means that he also came to the Nostrade family to apply for a job as a bodyguard.
It seems that there is indeed a category of contract hunters among professional hunters; you got a hunter license but ended up finding the same job as me!!
When she thought of this, Siper felt much better… But she was still envious.
"Yeah, we meet again."
Kurapika nodded: "And I didn't expect it to be here."
Shachmono Tocino and others looked at Kurapika and then at Siper.
These two people definitely knew each other before.
"This is Kurapika, a very good guy I met when I took the Hunter Exam. He has now obtained a hunter's license."
Lan, who had coaxed Neon, briefly introduced Kurapika.
"Siper is also one of the applicants for the Hunter Exam. They knew each other before."
"Now, Kurapika is also a member of our bodyguard team, and he is now the deputy leader. Does anyone have any objections?
No one said anything.
"Very good."
Lan nodded with satisfaction: "The next plan remains unchanged; continue to watch the game here."
"Wait until Kastro's game is over, then we will go back."
Kastro?
Kurapika's heart moved; he still remembered the name that Hisoka had been thinking about before he left.
"It seems that Kastro is also working under Lan, and Lan has trained him very well. Even Hisoka is looking forward to fighting him…"
He thought about it and secretly observed the expressions of everyone present one by one.
When he, a newcomer, was directly appointed as the vice-leader by Lan, no one at the scene objected.
Siper has not been here for long. Moreover, when she was on Zevil Island, she cooperated well with Kurapika and witnessed and recognized his ability, so naturally, she did not have too many opinions.
They simply follow Lan's orders.
What Lan said is what it is, and how he arranges it is how it is arranged.
Kurapika also saw this.
Lan's power in this family seems to be higher than he imagined.
Well, in the anime, Dalzollene, the former leader of the guard team, was recruiting new bodyguards however he wanted.
He even dared to kill the old butler casually and crossed his legs on the dining table while drinking Light Nostrade's red wine and let Miss Neon's maid, Eliza, and others serve him.
Compared to what he did, Lan felt that he was already a very polite and sensible guy.
"I'm only a nominal vice-leader and cannot effectively do the deployment and arrangement of works…"
Kurapika thought silently: "Only by showing my ability and truly convincing these bodyguards can I really achieve the effect I want…"
He was not stunned by the position of a vice-leader. Instead, he knew very clearly what he should do and could see the reality very calmly.
"And in this world where people are Nen users, in addition to wisdom and ability to deal with things, the most important thing is..."
"Strength."
Thinking of this, Kurapika also calmed down, held tightly the training manual given to him by Lan, and silently read it.
The most popular things in the Heavens Arena are the two major events.
The first one was the comeback of a popular fighter who had reached the floor 200th before!
Relying on his strength, he won the first game after returning and directly soared to the 180th floor.
Then, he continued fighting directly without stopping and successfully reached the 200th floor again in just a few days.
"I came here for revenge this time!!"
Facing the interviews of many reporters, Kastro said in a deep voice: "This time, I will defeat Hisoka!!"
Without saying anything else, these two simple sentences showed his firm determination.
And the reporters naturally went to search for another player, Hisoka, who was above the 200th floor, wanting to hear his opinion.
But it seems that except for a few people who occasionally saw Hisoka's figure appearing in the Heavens Arena, there was no trace of him at all.
However, this did not prevent these media outlets from writing articles and publishing news.
Including but not limited to the love and hatred between the two people, as well as various speculations about Kastro's disappearance over the years.
It can be said that the sales were so hot that they were sold out on the same day.
There were even people who started betting on the victory and defeat between the two.
Well, after this period of time, the casino at Heaven Arena, which had been deeply hurt by a certain man and had suffered a great loss of vitality, also gradually recovered.
But even so, when they mentioned that man, they still gritted their teeth.
Fortunately, they finally recovered their blood by relying on another, most awaited match.
The battle between Kastro and Hisoka has become one of the most anticipated fights currently.
The other one is that a pair of super-strong children have appeared in the Heavens Arena. Just relying on a light push of their hand, they can easily knock the opponent to the ground.
The silver-haired guy is not bad. It was found out that he started to sprint to the top floors when he was six years old.
In just two years, he reached the 200th floor. The other one was a hedgehog-headed, silly-looking kid who was more like the type with a simple mind and well-developed limbs.
The two of them worked together to ascend the floors, and they began to soar to more than the 100th floor.
Of course, there were also some outstanding people at the same time, such as a kid with thick eyebrows and big eyes wearing a white training suit who was about the same age as them.
But compared with the two kids, he seemed a little eclipsed, and nothing could be seen.
However, he didn't seem to have any psychological instability or anything like that.
On the contrary, when the three kids met in the elevator leading to the higher floors, he greeted the two people very seriously. "Hello, I'm Zushi!!"
The kid with thick eyebrows and big eyes introduced himself.
"My name is Killua."
"My name is Gon; please give me your advice!"
The three people were all about the same age, so they just went together.
"I had the honor to see your matches. You're great!!"
Zushi exclaimed sincerely.
"No, no, you only needed one fight to come here too."
"That's true, you're like us."
"No, my martial art is not yet perfect!"
Zushi shook his head seriously: "Speaking of which, what school do you two follow?"
"I follow the Shingen-ryu!"
"Shingen-ryu?!!"
