Chapter 350: Assault on the Auction
The Ten Old Men signed this document and sent it to the members of the Black Wind Alliance, which instantly set off a stormy wave.
Many alliance members who were delayed because of things or were not very interested in the Youkexin City Auction all put down what they were doing, prepared a lot, prepared a large number of rare collections, and then began to gather on Youkexin's side.
For a while, Youkexin City, which was already lively because of the annual auction, became even more chaotic, and at the same time, it also made those who were very attentive to the Phantom Brigade even more concerned.
As a result, the scale of the killers who hunted down the Phantom Brigade expanded again, and many one-star and two-star professional-level hunter-level masters came out of the mountain under the promise of the members of the Gangster Alliance. Get ready to get a piece of the pie and make some quick money at this event.
It's just that they underestimate the difficulty of this mission, and after a few hours, there is still no gain. Therefore, as a last resort, they could only rush back to the Youkexin City Auction Hall when night fell. Let's see if we can catch the Phantom Brigade.
"Kurapika, did you think they could come tonight?" Nion's father, the patriarch of the House of Nosra, asked.
"I don't know," Kurapika replied cautiously, "but I've heard that the purpose of the Phantom Brigade is to loot treasures from all over the world, and in this auction, due to the documents issued by the Ten Old Men, I am afraid that there will be a lot of rare treasures that are not usually seen at all."
Therefore, this auction should be very tempting for the people of the Phantom Brigade, so there is a high probability that they will appear here. I just don't know in what capacity and in what way they will enter. ”
"That's right," Nosra hesitated, "then...... Kurapika ...... Are you sure to catch one or two of them? ”
This time, the price offered by the ten old men was too generous, and even Nosla, who started with his daughter's divination and had a not very stable foundation, was moved.
"I don't know, but I'll do my best to keep them." Of course, Kurapika understands what his boss means, but he really doesn't count this kind of thing alone.
In fact, judging from the situation of yesterday's fight with Wo Jin, as long as he has the heart and the timing is right, he has a high probability of being able to leave anyone in the Phantom Brigade, including the captain, at least one or two will not be a problem.
But Gin's appearance let him know that there was another force intervening in it, and it was likely that this strength had reached some deal with the Phantom Brigade, otherwise, the other party would not have sent a master of this level to take away the nest gold from him.
As for why Kurapika is sure that Gin is not from the Phantom Brigade, it is very simple, that is, it is clear that Gin has a chance to kill him, but he does not do it. Instead, he left directly, so the other party would definitely not be a member of the Phantom Brigade, otherwise, the other party would definitely not leave him as a hidden danger.
In addition, this time, the gang attaches great importance to the Phantom Brigade, so quite a lot of fierce people have been arranged. Not to mention that there are two people from the enemy family who beat you, so even he doesn't dare to talk about it.
There are many more members of the Gangster Alliance like the Nothra family, and they all hope that the people of the Phantom Brigade will fall into their hands. No way, these people's heads are really worth points.
Of course, some of them are more self-aware, knowing that even if the people of the Phantom Brigade are caught, they will not reach their hands. So they're more focused on the auction. Whether they buy or sell, they all have points to earn.
Compared with some ordinary members, the core members are much calmer, after all, for the current gangster alliance, their position has basically reached the top. As long as the ten old men don't die, points are a currency for them that can be exchanged for rare items and traded internally.
Therefore, although they are also eager for points, they will not auction their treasures in exchange for points like some ordinary members and senior members.
As for the Phantom Brigade, the main reason why they are working this is that some core members died at the hands of the Phantom Brigade. Even if it was to kill chickens to show the monkeys, they would not allow the people who welcomed the brigade to live for too long.
Night fell again, and the annual auction in Youkexin City officially began, and the killers invited by the Gangster Alliance also raised the spirit of 12 points, according to their own habits and guesses that the other party might enter, stationed in various places, and guarded against the appearance of people from the Phantom Brigade at any time.
On the auction side, perhaps to save the reputation of the Youkexin City Auction, or maybe there are too many treasures temporarily added to the auction this time, so the first auction item is a rare treasure.
Seven beautiful colors, water glass. A vine-like plant that grows in a dormant volcano that has been frozen all year round, due to the absorption of a large amount of a sulfur-containing compound, so it loses its anthocyanins, and the whole plant is transparent and has an ore-like luster.
I have to admit that the seven beauties are the seven beauties, and they stole all the limelight as soon as they came on the stage. It also attracted the eyes of Anthony, who was in the private room.
"The miracle created by nature," Anthony said with a look of fascination as he looked at the displayed water glass, "It's really attractive." ”
"So, boss, do you need to make a bid?" Arthur reminded.
"Bidding? There's no need for that," Anthony came back to his senses, looked at the time and chuckled, "Because this auction is coming to an end, there's no need for us to waste time on it." ”
As if to confirm Anthony's words, just as Anthony's voice landed, a series of loud noises and vibrations were heard outside the auction venue. Everyone was shocked.
"What's going on!? Why such a loud voice! Coming back from the sudden explosion, Snooker, the person in charge of the auction venue, couldn't help but comfort the guests participating in the auction, and at the same time took out the communicator to ask the security guards who were on duty outside.
"Mr. Snooker, no!" The subordinates outside hurriedly reported: "Someone used Rose, and it is in the West District of Youkexin City. It's the same model of the modified Rose that was used in yesterday's attack on the gangs of our Alliance, and now the headquarters of the Elfa family in the West Side has been completely razed to the ground, and no one has survived,"
"What?! Rosebush! In the city of Youkexin? Snooker instantly felt bad, and in the face of this kind of big killing weapon exploding in his city, even he couldn't help but change color.
Although the model of the Rose used by the opponent is modified, it neutralizes the unique toxins of the Rose while limiting its explosive power. But a rose is a rose, and even being restricted is enough to make people feel intimidated and frightened.
Snooker can know the situation through his subordinates outside, and others can naturally do it. After all, those who can come to the auction are either rich or expensive, and who has not yet had a few subordinates outside ready to wait to prevent accidents. So for a while, the news that Rose was martyred not far from herself and others spread throughout the auction hall in an instant.
"Rose? It's that bastard with this weapon of mass destruction in such a big city! ”
"What a joke! Isn't it safe in Youkexin City! ”
"What's going on? Didn't you gangsters promise that there would be no more vicious incidents! ”
……
In the face of Rose's threat, even the most calm people can't calm down, and they protest against the gang's inaction and unkeeping, and at the same time ask the people of the Gangster Alliance to send themselves and others away safely, otherwise, make the Gangster Alliance look good.
Just when the entire auction hall was in chaos, making the gangster alliance anxious, another loud bang appeared, and the target was the auction venue.
Of course, this time the other side is not using a rose, but a tactical missile!
