Chapter 144: Transaction Part 1
After finishing the call, Chrollo called Pakunoda.
“What’s the matter?” Pakunoda entered the room and saw Chrollo frowning.
“Machi was caught,” Chrollo said solemnly.
Pakunoda was surprised: “What?”
“A few days ago, I asked Machi to go to The Heavens Arena to inform Hisoka about the plan in York City on August 30th, I don’t know why Allan was there. They were at odds….”
“And then, what does that fellow wants?”
Pakunoda met Allan in the Hunter Exam before, and she fought with him and was very impressed by his power.
“Allan wants me to send one Billion Jenny to redeem Machi, or he will kill her.”
Hearing Chrollo’s words, Pakunoda said coldly: “He is using this opportunity to blackmail us, Chief. What are you going to do? Are you going to pay him?”
Chrollo didn’t answer directly but asked: “Have they contacted Uvogin?”
“Well, he is with Nobunaga. I have notified them about the gathering.”
Chrollo nodded and stood up: “Get ready, we’ll set off now.”
“Where to? Yorknew City, or Heavens Arena?”
“Heavens Arena.” Chrollo closed the book in his hand.
“Would you like me to inform Uvogin?” Pakunoda said.
“No need.” Chrollo shook his head and said: “Uvogin had a conflict with Allan during the Hunter Exam, he chopped one of his hands, and if they were to meet, Uvogin would definitively fight, which isn’t something I want to see.”
“Chief, are you afraid of him?”
Chrollo didn’t answer.
“Chief, it’s undeniable that this guy is strong, but if we go alone, we still have you here, and you are more than his opponent. And in the end, he is only one person.
If we join hands, we can definitively kill him.”
Chrollo shook his head and said: “Not necessarily.”
“Why?”
Chrollo paused for a bit then said: “Remember what we said when the Ryodan was founded. We are spiders with a mind that is responsible for issuing orders and twelve feet to execute them.
No matter whether it’s the head or the feet, they can be changed. However, once the head and feet are severely injured at the same time, the spider is finished.”
Hearing this, Pakunoda frowned and said: “Chief, do you mean that even if we can kill Allan, we will pay a heavy price? And this price is something that we can’t afford, really?”
Chrollo shook his head: “It’s not that we can’t bear to kill him, but the price is higher than not killing him. It’s not worth it.”
“I understand.”
Pakunoda stopped asking and said: “I will go prepare one Billion Jenny.”
On the other side of the call, inside The Heavens Arena.
“I’ve already told Chrollo about Machi’s situation.” After hanging up, Hisoka turned around and said to Allan.
Allan nodded and carried Machi on his shoulder after knocking her out and said: “If Chrollo or someone else comes, you lead him to my room directly. Remember, tell them to bring the money, or else they will collect her body.”
Seeing Allan’s cold expression, Hisoka narrowed his eyes and smiled: “You really don’t have any pity for Machi. She is one of the few women that I appreciate. Wouldn’t it be a pity to just kill her?”
Allan stopped and looked at him: “A guy like you actually appreciate a woman? And a fierce woman like her?”
“I’m a man after all, and seeing a beautiful woman is fascinating,” Hisoka said with a smile.
“That’s also true.” Allan glanced at Hancock next to him then returned to the room with Machi on his back.
“What are you going to do to her?” Hancock asked after they were in their room.
“What can I do? If they bring the money, I will keep my promise and let her go.”
While talking, Allan threw Machi on the sofa and tied her up firmly.
Of course, Allan didn’t expect a normal rope to prevent her from escaping.
The reason he did this was to remind her that her current situation wasn’t good and to not act rashly.
“So, who is this woman? Why does she want to kill you? What kind of force is behind her?”
Hancock asked a few questions at one go.
Allan made a cup of tea and explained everything to her.
After learning that Machi was a member of the Genie Ryodan, who were fierce and ruthless, she released some killing Intent.
“It’s better to kill her directly. Even if you let her go this time, she won’t be grateful and will only hate you more and more and try to kill you again. Keeping her alive is like a curse.”
Allan was a little surprised by Hancock and laughed.
“What are you laughing at?” Hancock was puzzled.
“Are you worried about me?” Allan looked at her.
“No.” Hancock blushed a little and turned her head away.
Allan was very happy seeing this and smile: “Hancock, do you remember? When I first summoned you into this world, you hate me so much and wanted to kill me.”
“I said that before. I didn’t know what kind of person you are at that time.”
“What about now?”
“Stop asking; I don’t want to answer you.”
