South Zha City.
Inside a certain underground private hospital.
The place originally used for dissecting and selling human organs had now been temporarily occupied by them.
Machi listened to her companions describe the entire incident. Honestly, she hadn't expected such a situation to arise from this matter.
Evidently, their Leader judged that this 'takeover' operation wouldn't be difficult, so he didn't gather the entire group.
But they still gathered nine members, and almost all the combat members were present.
Under these circumstances, among the combat members:
Four were severely injured, one was disabled, and one was dead.
One could say the losses were heavy.
It could even be said, without exaggeration, that this was their most devastating loss since their debut.
They had capsized in a ditch.
The Leader also very frankly admitted his problem; he had been 'careless'.
If the situation of 'Post-mortem Nen' hadn't occurred, they could at most say they had failed, resulting in some loss of assets.
Unfortunately, there were no 'ifs'. They not only encountered it but also encountered the most aggressive and purposeful kind.
This lesson might be deeply etched into their minds.
With the treatment nearing completion, as noon approached, Shalnark, who had left, and another member covered in bandages, Phinks, who had arrived, finally walked in from outside.
"Did you figure it out? Information on that damn guy!" Feitan looked at Shalnark as he entered, asking from the makeshift hospital bed.
The doctors beside them were trembling as they administered treatment.
Shalnark looked at Feitan, smiled, and reassured him, "Don't get worked up, we found a little."
"A blimp secretly landed at the airport early this morning before dawn, stayed for half an hour, and then left.
If nothing unexpected happened, it's likely the few people who escaped last night. It's clear that the guy who injured you is not a Kurutas member."
After speaking, he also took out his phone from his pocket, registered the information recorded on it, and added, "Based on the face you saw, and the face of the guy who severely injured us, I found some clues.
They likely met at the Sky Arena. The guy who injured you and ran away should have disguised himself, but he left behind quite a few traces.
His facial shape is still somewhat similar to before.
I didn't expect that guy to be a top student who graduated from a famous medical school. He worked for the local mafia for a while and then fled after the Sky Arena.
After that, he seemed to have worked under a One-Star Hunter for a month before leaving again.
About half a month ago, he appeared in Yorknew City, and after having a conflict with some mafia there, he should have come to South Zha City.
He should have been invited by that Kurutas person."
In just half a day, Shalnark had almost thoroughly investigated all the information Kevin had left behind and connected it all.
"Find that guy, I'm going to kill him!"
Currently, the one who hated Kevin the most was undoubtedly Feitan. The injuries on the others had nothing to do with Kevin; only he was ambushed by Kevin and severely injured and sent flying with one punch.
Shalnark neither agreed nor refuted.
He just said, "The only ones clearly related to him are the mafia looking for him and that One-Star Hunter.
According to speculation, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be heading towards Yorknew City."
After speaking, the members present all looked at the Leader.
The Leader thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think?"
Shalnark barely hesitated, as if he had already thought it through, and said, "I don't recommend continuing the investigation. We've already seized the target and taken revenge.
Moreover, we have quite a few severely injured personnel right now."
Their target was the Scarlet Eyes, and they had obtained them.
And the person who killed Menogi and the person who severely injured the members were already dead, their bodies shattered into pieces.
Mito's situation could be considered their overall mistake, but Feitan being ambushed could only be considered his own carelessness.
"Haha, I want to fight that guy, but if it's too troublesome, forget it." This was Wo Jin; his swollen right arm had recovered somewhat.
His monstrous Strengthening System physique allowed him to recover quickly even from such injuries.
Nobunaga lay on the bed, muttering, "I can't help right now."
The member with the severed arm was even more silent. Although his hand had been sewn back on by Machi, the attack carried a certain resentment, making his arm somewhat hindered and uncomfortable when used now.
As a combatant, under such influence, he was very likely to make mistakes in battle, which would be fatal.
Silence was clearly the choice he had already made.
Going around the circle.
The only ones who agreed to continue the investigation were Feitan and Phinks, who cast a friendship vote.
The team had a divergence of opinion.
"Then we can only flip a coin," Shalnark said, preparing to take something from his waist.
At this moment, the Leader spoke.
"Head to Yorknew City. If we don't find any trace, then this is where it ends."
Since the Leader had spoken, the matter was naturally decided this way.
On the blimp.
In the restaurant, the three who had escaped were sitting here.
Kevin ate silently, while the two opposite him clearly weren't in the mood.
Their eyes were visibly red and swollen.
"Now it's just the two of you left. Do you have any plans?" Kevin asked.
Young Pairo seemed to have already composed himself, his entire demeanor very somber.
He spoke, "I want revenge. Those guys, I want revenge."
Kevin nodded slightly; this was within his expectations.
In this situation, not seeking revenge would be strange.
As for the other party saying he wanted revenge, Kevin had no intention of trying to dissuade him at all.
Seek revenge for grudges, repay grievances, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Under normal circumstances, Kevin held such principles.
However, he said something very clear, "You should be able to see that with your strength, you have no chance."
Pairo suddenly raised his head to look at Kevin; his eyes were still red until now.
Moreover, unlike the pupil color of others, it seemed to be due to past injuries. The color of his pupils was not vibrant; instead, it was more dark and dull, like blood.
But equally pure.
"Teach me, that power, the power to get revenge."
After speaking, Pairo took a deep breath and said, "I don't know what I can give, but as long as it's something I can give, I will give it."
Kevin looked at him and nodded slightly, "My friendship with your father naturally doesn't require you to give anything. I will teach you."
Overall, he still owed Mito a favor.
Not to mention he had promised the other party to take good care of his son.
"But you'd best stabilize your emotions first, let your red eyes subside, and we can talk about other things after you calm down.
This is not something that can be accomplished in a year or two; you need to maintain sufficient patience."
Hearing Kevin agree, Pairo nodded.
Then Kevin looked at Rosana, "If you want to learn, I can teach you too, as long as you have talent."
Rosana didn't refuse, nodded, looked at Kevin, and pleaded, "I want to ask you for a favor."
"What favor?"
"My son, my son Kurapika, was already traveling at that time and was not killed."
"So there's another survivor?" This was something Kevin hadn't expected.
Having one more is a good thing.
Rosana nodded, her face filled with sorrow, "He's the only one left."
At this moment, Pairo also seemed to have calmed down and said from the side, "We need to find a way to find him and notify him, otherwise, after the news gets out, Kurapika will definitely go crazy trying to come back.
If those people haven't left, or if they left people there to stake out, they will find Kurapika, and he will be in danger then."
Kevin looked at Pairo with some surprise.
He hadn't expected the other party to still be able to think calmly under such emotions.
"You're very rational. Tell me his information, and I'll have someone find him and notify him to meet up with us."
