Blood vessels around Loki’s eyes bulged. His Byakugan activated. His perception sharpened; he could see dust motes in the air. Everything seemed slower; he could see through objects. The 360-degree vision was slightly unusual.
Besides the Byakugan, information about the Gentle Fist appeared in his mind. Unfortunately, Hinata Hyūga hadn’t learned advanced techniques like Hakke Rokujuuyon Shou or Kaiten. He only knew basic Gentle Fist pressure point strikes—injecting chakra into pressure points to block chakra flow. Loki wondered if this would work in the Hunter x Hunter world.
It was an SS-rank draw; getting the Byakugan was unexpected. He focused on the next mission.
He opened the mission panel: "Mission: Investigate the Phantom Troupe."
Loki was stunned. "Investigate the Phantom Troupe? The reward is unknown?" He never thought the Phantom Troupe had secrets.
This mission baffled Loki. The system meant the Phantom Troupe hid secrets. Loki, knowing the plot, never considered this.
"A troublesome mission," Loki muttered. But his eyes gleamed at the "unknown" reward. Maybe completing it would give an SSS-rank draw. If so, he could get the Fire Spirit.
"If only I could eliminate the Phantom Troupe. It would be easier," Loki mused. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novelꜰire.net
Ding! Mission triggered: Eliminate the Phantom Troupe. Reward: One lottery draw of any rank.
The sudden system notification startled Loki. He stared at the screen. It was true: any rank.
Loki closed his eyes, smiling. This reward was better. Did the system know what he wanted? He hadn’t expected this mission trigger method—self-triggered missions.
"Investigate the Phantom Troupe, eliminate the Phantom Troupe. Combining these is troublesome!" Loki realized. Eliminating them was easy; just kill everyone. But investigating them was hard. He didn’t have intelligence-gathering skills. Getting information from them would be harder than killing them.
"The investigation reward is unknown; eliminating them gives any-rank lottery draw." Welf’s death showed they wouldn’t reveal information.
"Eliminating them is difficult but simple—just kill them. The hard part is finding an opportunity to fight one or two members at a time."
Investigating them was harder. He needed intelligence-gathering abilities, like Pakunoda’s memory reading.
"Intelligence-gathering ability..." Loki suddenly remembered someone.
Reading memories was good, but another ability was just as good: Baise’s ability, 180° Love Slave. It couldn’t read memories, but a kiss made someone a servant. It was strong but weak. Strong because a kiss controlled someone. Weak because it’s impossible to kiss an enemy in battle. If you could defeat them, you wouldn’t need the ability. It was better for gathering information. Torture would work on ordinary people, but not the Phantom Troupe. Unless you had a special ability.
Baise’s ability would make investigating the Troupe easier. Getting Baise to work for him was simple. He just needed to capture Troupe members and have Baise interrogate them. He could cooperate with Kurapika and Hisoka; their goals didn’t conflict. Hisoka wanted a one-on-one fight with Chrollo. Kurapika wanted revenge.
"Applying to be a bodyguard for the Nostrade family is a good idea," Loki thought.
Gon and Killua wouldn’t appear much in the Yorknew City arc. The focus was Kurapika and the Phantom Troupe. Being with Kurapika would give more opportunities to complete the mission.
Tomorrow was his final match—challenging the floor master. After that, he could leave. The Yorknew City auction was a week away.
Loki thought about completing the mission and the unknown reward. He wondered about the chance of getting an SSS-rank draw. But he forgot something: the system’s reward matched the danger. The investigation gave an unknown reward; the secret must be significant. Loki was excited about the Yorknew City arc. But today’s fight with the floor master took his attention.
The floor master was different from other fighters. This floor master had been undefeated for five years on floor 200.
Loki entered the arena. The arena was larger than before; there were more spectators. Loki entered first. He was the fastest to get ten wins, challenging the floor master. He was getting a lot of attention. No one had successfully challenged the floor master in five years. Loki’s challenge was a shock to floor 200. Many who’d been there for two or three years didn’t understand how he’d gotten ten wins so quickly. Even if he was strong, it usually took years. Loki had done it in months. Everyone knew something was strange.
Thump thump thump! The ring trembled; Loki’s cloak also trembled slightly. The floor master emerged from a large passage. He was huge, like a gladiator, nearly three meters tall, with developed limbs. He looked terrifying. But Loki, using his Byakugan, observed...
