In the Zoldyck Family's many years of assassination history, this was the first time they had simultaneously received commissions to assassinate both the employer and the target, with extremely high remuneration.
This was a rather rare occurrence.
The Ten Dons hired them to eliminate the Phantom Troupe, while the leader of the Phantom Troupe also hired them to eliminate the Ten Dons.
Due to professional integrity, family members do not collude, nor do they accept payment from both sides.
Instead, they use efficiency as the determining factor, ultimately accepting the commission fee from only one party.
Illumi accepted Chrollo's commission. Because the remuneration was very high, he couldn't handle it alone, nor did he have the ability to complete this commission by himself, so he enlisted the help of Maha and Kalluto.
The former is his great-grandfather, primarily providing combat assistance. The latter is his fifth brother, raised by Kikyo as a girl since childhood. His Nen Ability, Paper Snow, is primarily used for searching for targets.
On the other side, Silva accepted the Ten Dons' commission.
Years ago, he had accepted a commission to kill a member of the Troupe, so he knew well how troublesome the Troupe was. Thus, he asked Zeno to join him in executing the commission.
And so, the five Zoldyck Family's members split into two teams, each going to kill the Ten Dons and the Phantom Troupe respectively.
In terms of results, Illumi's side was faster.
According to the family's internal agreement, Silva and Zeno could no longer take action against the Phantom Troupe, because even if they completed the commission afterwards, they would not receive the payment.
Therefore, Zeno and Silva withdrew their killing intent without hesitation and deactivated their combat state.
Pakunoda didn't understand why, but Chrollo knew the details. His tense nerves relaxed, and he looked towards the direction of the Cemetery Building, his expression cold and stern.
Easily shifting one's gaze elsewhere is a fatal move in front of a master.
Chrollo was well aware of this major taboo, yet he still did it, demonstrating his confidence.
Zeno thought more highly of Chrollo. Even Silva had been suppressed, so he was indeed a difficult target to deal with.
Silva was still on the phone with Illumi.
Chrollo suddenly withdrew his gaze from the Cemetery Building and turned to look at Zeno and Silva, asking calmly, "The Ten Dons have been dealt with?"
Silva had just hung up the phone. He nodded. "Yes. Illumi asks that you transfer the money to his account."
Chrollo didn't deny it.
"Quite an unrewarding job."
Zeno shook his head slightly, thinking that not only did they not earn any money, but he also lost a piece of clothing. Then he walked away in a direction away from the Cemetery Building.
Over at the Cemetery Building was clearly another troublesome battlefield.
Since there was no commission fee to be earned, there was no reason to stay here.
Silva put away the small phone and, without hesitation, turned and followed Zeno.
Chrollo calmly watched Silva and Zeno leave, then took out his phone and transferred the commission fee.
If Illumi's message hadn't arrived in time, they might have been trapped here, unable to advance a single step.
Bonolenov was seriously injured but could still move with difficulty.
Pakunoda came to the edge of the crater, looked at Feitan's miserable corpse, her face clouded over.
Chrollo did not pay further attention to Feitan's corpse. He looked at Bonolenov and asked, "Can you keep up?"
Bonolenov's mouth was full of blood. Hearing Chrollo's question, he replied briefly, "Yes."
Chrollo quietly scanned Bonolenov's sunken chest, was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Let's go."
As soon as the words fell, he sprinted towards the direction of the Cemetery Building.
Bonolenov followed with difficulty, and Pakunoda took one last silent look at Feitan's corpse before quickly following.
…
Top Floor, Cemetery Building. The load-bearing pillars and steel reinforcement on the right side were melted and severed by the high temperature. Most of the ceiling had collapsed diagonally. If not for the load-bearing pillars on the left side still holding, the entire rooftop would likely have caved in.
The area was covered in large fires, with billowing thick smoke rushing out in all directions, rising into the sky.
Law passed through the flames and smoke, came to the edge of the observation hall, and looked in the direction Feitan had flown.
At that time, he had used the function of the Grass Jelly to immune himself to Feitan's Rising Sun.
Feitan's arm was fractured, and since [Rising Sun] couldn't harm Law, the strength he could display was greatly reduced.
Afterwards, Law endured the scorching heat, took down the disbelieving Feitan in a few moves, and with a final heavy kick, sent Feitan flying out.
After Feitan's death, the sun releasing heat extinguished simultaneously, leaving only a great fire behind.
"I should have held back a bit. I hope the corpse is relatively intact. If it can't be exchanged for the bounty, that would be a loss."
Law muttered to himself, then ignored the flames around him, activated a En with a four-hundred-meter diameter, and walked towards the hole created earlier by Akatake's fall.
Reaching the edge of the hole, he looked down but didn't see Akatake's figure. Phinks was also nowhere to be found.
'Before the others regroup, I need to kill these two first.'
Law stepped forward into the hole, his body descending. The expanded En swept over all the areas he passed through.
He descended floor by floor, not slowly.
When he reached the 30th floor, Law abruptly withdrew his En, hovered in mid-air, then landed on the floor and walked towards the door.
Law's En had just sensed Phinks, so he stopped directly.
Pushing open the door, he came out into the corridor.
At the end of the corridor, Phinks looked at Law, who showed no signs of burns, his heart shaking.
'Feitan's move didn't finish off Law? And without any injuries at all?'
Looking at the completely unharmed Law, Phinks said coldly, "You took down Feitan?"
Law responded with silence, charging straight at Phinks.
Phinks's expression was icy, his Nen erupting all over his body. Even fighting alone and at a disadvantage, he remained fearless, immediately starting to rotate his arm.
Whether it was one rotation or two, its power would be stronger than a normal straight punch. Moreover, this corridor was narrow enough, so a punch thrown would inevitably injure Law.
While sprinting, Law suddenly raised his hand, summoning Shin into his right hand.
[Instant]
His figure vanished from the spot. The left wall suddenly indented with a small pit, followed by the ceiling. When he reappeared, he was already behind Phinks.
And Phinks had thrown a punch, hitting nothing but air, destroying the corridor ahead into a mess.
His head flew into the air without warning, his face full of shock.
Law swiftly retracted Shin, ignored Phinks's head flying through the air, flashed again, arrived behind Phinks's body, and with one hand, plucked out his heart.
By the time Phinks's head hit the ground, Law had sealed the heart into the book and then executed it.
Phinks's shocked expression instantly froze on his face, blood spurting from the cut on his neck.
Thus, the Spider now had... five legs remaining.
Law stored Phinks's corpse in his space, continued to expand his En, and searched downwards.
Soon, he encountered Akatake, whom he had knocked down earlier, and also Salin and the others...
