Chapter 169: Anime Crossover: Pokémon - Starting with Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 83

The scruffy man beside him was named—Jin Fuli!

Jin wore a brown robe, with layers of white cloth wrapped around his head, from whose gaps a few stray hairs occasionally emerged.

Jin's personal appearance was not very good; he looked rather scruffy, like a homeless wanderer by the roadside.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that Jin's clothes were quite clean, not particularly dirty at all.

At present, he appeared even younger than in the original story, with a face nearly identical to Gon's, especially that pair of spirited eyes.

The two looked as if they had been carved from the same mold.

Jin set down his wine glass, stroked his chin, and said, "The legendary Luo Ge?"

"Indeed, he is a very formidable person."

【Perhaps... he will come to beg for help later?】

Leiza was somewhat surprised and asked, "Jin, do you know that contestant Luo Ge?"

"Yes. Have you been staying on the island for too long? This person is now famous in the outside world."

"You have the nerve to say that. Do you think you know why I have been staying on this island all this time?"

Leiza retorted in a bad mood.

He had never seen such an shameless person.

Jin scratched his head and said with a "serious" expression:

"Huh? Is it me?"

Seeing the dangerous glints frequently flashing in Leiza's squinted eyes, Jin immediately changed the subject and picked up a bottle of juice.

"Do you see this glass of juice?"

"I see it. What's wrong with this juice?"

"The company that produces this juice is called Gro Company, and the boss is that Luo Ge."

Leiza sat back in his original seat again, watched the Gro Company advertisement playing on the television, and asked in confusion:

"If he is such a person, why does he still go to the Sky Arena to compete?"

"I don't know. Maybe he is someone with a great pursuit of martial arts."

Jin replied casually, but a gleam of sharpness flashed in his eyes, as if he had vaguely sensed something.

He felt

that Luo Ge did not seem to have gone to the Sky Arena just for the challenge.

At least, that was not his main purpose.

Leiza reached out, took another bottle of juice, and casually snapped open the can's rim with a single twist, revealing the immense strength in his hand.

Glancing at Jin, who wore a thoughtful expression, Leiza asked, "By the way, why do you have time to come see me today?"

"Don't tell me you just came to have a drink with me."

Leiza knew Jin's behavioral patterns very well.

This person was like a dragon that never showed its tail from morning to night; no one knew what he was busy with, but he was always very busy.

"Oh, nothing much."

"I'm going to have a child."

Jin put down the can and smiled at Leiza.

Leiza:???

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Leiza's pupils trembled; he almost choked, barely managed to swallow the juice, and immediately coughed a few times.

"What did you say?"

"You're going to have a child?!"

Jin frowned and waved his hand, saying, "What's wrong with me having a child?"

"Can't I have a child?"

"I believe he will surely become as successful as me in the future."

"Hahaha..."

Watching Jin, who could not stop smiling, Leiza thought for a moment about what a child like Jin would be like.

Hmm...

One Jin was already enough to make one feel exhausted; if there were another "Jin"...

"Alright, so you came here specifically to tell me this good news?"

"You could say that."

Jin faced Leiza, restrained his smile, and said in a serious tone, "Leiza."

"My child will come here to venture forth in the future."

"I have only one request."

The next moment, Jin once again displayed a confident smile, with a hint of mischief on his face:

"Do not go easy on him!"

"I believe that child will be able to surprise you."

The entire 【Greed Island】 is an excellent training ground that allows beginners to quickly master 【Nen】 and accelerate their growth.

And the original intention behind him building this game was twofold: first, he found it fun, and second, it was for Gon.

Leiza was stunned for a while, then felt that this sounded like something Jin would say, and couldn't help but laugh:

"Alright!"

On the Ulyssian Continent,

inside a somewhat dilapidated building.

At night, moonlight could even shine straight into the room through some cracks, illuminating the dim faces of several people.

There were six people in total on the scene.

Each wore clothing with its own distinct characteristics.

On the ground sat a ronin dressed as a swordsman, and there was also a burly man with messy, unkempt hair, a "primitive."

A woman in a wine-red suit, tall but with her beauty marred by a hooked nose, hung her head low, leaning against the wall.

A thin man wrapped entirely in bandages, like a mummy, lay on a fallen, wide pillar.

There was also a large-headed man with multiple suture marks on his body, looking remarkably like Frankenstein's monster.

Their leader sat on the platform, elbows resting on his legs, bent halfway over, his face hidden in darkness, his expression unreadable.

The leader had a rather handsome face, radiating a sinister, effeminate evil.

These six people were the remaining members of the Phantom Troupe!

Chrollo lowered his eyelids, saying not a word.

Although there were six people on the scene, it was strangely silent; not a single person opened their mouth.

It was so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

The areas on the ground not touched by moonlight were pitch black, like pools of black water emitting an eerie aura, making people feel irritable.

They were all waiting.

Waiting for three people who had not arrived.

Or for a phone call.

Since the time agreed upon by Chrollo as the leader, twelve hours had already passed.

Yet their three members still had not arrived, and they could not even be reached by phone.

Completely cut off from contact.

Though they were reluctant to admit it, those three were likely no longer alive.

The three were the Feitan trio "sent away" by Luo Ge.

Ding-ling-ling-ling—

A sharp, urgent phone ringtone sounded, breaking the suffocating silence.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's gaze fixed on that phone, their expressions varied.

Some were expectant, some worried, some indifferent...

Chrollo's eyes shifted slightly; he did not pick up the phone but directly pressed the answer button.

Instantly, a penetrating female voice came from the other end of the line, exceptionally loud in the quiet environment.

Everyone heard it clearly.

"Is this Chrollo?"

"It is me."

Chrollo was sparing with words, or perhaps in a bad mood and unwilling to say more.

The woman wasted no time but went straight to the point.

"The whereabouts of the three people you asked me to find have come out."

"But you must be mentally prepared."

Hearing this, the hearts of the several people on the scene suddenly stopped, their faces turning gloomy.

"The three people you are looking for participated in this year's Hunter Exam."

"And they died at the hands of fellow examinees."

Upon hearing this, the temperature on the scene seemed to drop several degrees; an invisible aura spread, mixed with anger.

Their premonition had not been wrong.

Chrollo's face was exceptionally calm; he said in a low voice, "Who is the murderer?"

"That is a separate price, and the price is not low; it requires your ancient book, plus the antique vase."

"Fine, I will pay."

"Tomorrow I will come to find you and hand the items over to you."

Chrollo felt no reluctance and made the decision decisively.

The woman was not afraid of Chrollo reneging on his debt.

Because they were the famous Qianer Society; no one dared to renege on their debts.

The current Phantom Troupe was not yet the A-class criminal gang that would later strike fear into hearts.

It was too simple for the Qianer Society to deal with them.

"Very well, then I will speak."

"Your three companions provoked someone formidable~"

"It would not be an exaggeration to say he is one of the people with the greatest background in the world."

"That person's name is—Luo Ge!"

"Seemingly like you, he also came out of Meteor City."

"He is a capable person; not only did he become a disciple under the Xinyuanliu Sect, but he also single-handedly founded the now-famous juice company—the Gro Company."

"Becoming a disciple under the Xinyuanliu Sect, do you know what that means?"

Although it was a question, the woman continued talking on her own.

"The representative of the Xinyuanliu Sect is the world-renowned President of the Hunter Association, Netero-Izak."
