Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 654 - 48: The Auction Begins

Upon hearing the old man’s words, the assassins present didn’t show any emotions like anger. They were all seasoned in life and death.

"Hmm? What’s your color designation?"

"Silva."

A long-haired burly man standing next to the old man reported his name and fell silent.

"Zeno."

The old man also spoke up.

"What color is Zeno?"

"It’s not a color, those are just our real names."

"What?"

The assassins were visibly surprised, as revealing one’s real name was extremely dangerous for an assassin.

"Don’t expect to order us around; I’ll do things my own way."

Silva’s tone was calm. He seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the Ten Old Men’s approach. After having already hired him and his son, the Ten Old Men went on to hire other assassins, which was considered quite unprincipled in their field. While others might not understand this, the gangs certainly did.

"Zeno, Silva... Zoldyck Family?!"

An assassin recalled these two names, showing an expression of awe. The Zoldyck Family was an icon in the assassin world.

"If there’s anyone you want dead, contact us. No need to be polite, I’ll offer you a 30% discount as fellow professionals."

Zeno had a smile on his face, while the other assassins looked shocked.

"This... is a bit."

An assassin chuckled bitterly; compared to the Zoldyck Family, they were small fries.

"Since it’s already settled, then...."

Just as Cheap Ji began to speak, the door opened, and Su Xiao walked into the room.

"Sir, you’re here."

Cheap Ji’s expression became visibly uneasy; he had personally witnessed Su Xiao slice Sick Dog’s throat.

"Wrong floor."

Su Xiao found a chair and sat down. Cheap Ji was somewhat surprised, and Black Mary’s face blushed because, unfamiliar with the layout and the large size of the new auction venue, they naturally went the wrong way. In the end, it was Bubu Wang’s sense of smell that led them here.

"Back to the point, Cheap Ji, did you explain the goal to them?"

"I explained it, and we’ve already formulated a corresponding plan."

"A plan?"

Su Xiao turned his head to look at Cheap Ji. Formulating a plan for assassins who were unfamiliar with each other was undoubtedly foolish. Letting them act independently was the only way to maximize their combat strength.

"As the Ten Old Men previously..."

"Don’t worry about them, let them hide quietly in the suburbs and wait for death."

Cold sweat broke out on Cheap Ji’s forehead as he listened; responding to such words was beyond him.

The assassins exchanged glances, their thoughts basically revolved around, who is this guy? Isn’t he a subordinate of the Ten Old Men?

Silva and Zeno looked at Su Xiao with interest. The two exchanged a glance, realizing things were not as simple as they seemed.

"Gentlemen, your objectives are very unified, it’s all about money. As for the previous plans, disregard them. From now on, any suspicious individuals in this building can be attacked; it doesn’t matter if they are killed. Try to use your keen ’sense of smell’ as assassins."

Upon hearing this, the assassins in the room were secretly pleased. What they feared most was meddling by their employer.

"Any method is allowed?"

Zeno looked at Su Xiao, unsure of Su Xiao’s position within the Ten Old Men’s power.

"Yes, if you find me suspicious, you can attack me now too."

"Heh." Zeno chuckled lightly. "Now we can be at ease, provided you can represent the Ten Old Men."

"In a way, I am in a cooperative relationship with the Ten Old Men."

Having confirmed the target and action method, the assassins got up, needing to first familiarize themselves with the building’s layout.

As the other assassins left, Zeno and Silva, the father and son duo, did not leave.

"I heard you killed four members of the Travel Group. Have you fought with their leader?"

This time it was Silva who spoke; he had fought with the Travel Group leader before.

"Not yet, but soon. If you guys can beat him half to death, it would be best."

Seeing the two from the Zoldyck Family appear, Su Xiao had already sentenced the Ten Old Men to death, not because he wanted to kill them himself.

If Su Xiao wasn’t wrong, once the Travel Group Leader got wind of the Ten Old Men hiring the Zoldyck Family, he would also hire the Zoldyck Family to kill the Ten Old Men and would even hire three people. These three might go to kill the Ten Old Men tonight.

Among the three, Su Xiao could handle two. The last one, however, was completely out of his league. With Su Xiao’s current strength, facing that person meant certain death.

That person was named Maha Zoldyck, a thin and emaciated old man who looked like an alien.

It must be said, the people of the Zoldyck family tend to have longer lifespans. Their genealogy is: Great-great-grandfather Maha Zoldyck, great-grandfather Zeno Zoldyck, grandfather Silva Zoldyck, and the little silver-haired boy Killua Zoldyck in the younger generation.

Not to mention Maha Zoldyck’s strength, his age alone is already astounding. As for strength, the Hunter Guild’s President Netero is the only person known to have fought Maha Zoldyck and still be alive.

Chairman Netero’s strength is indisputable. Whether he or Maha Zoldyck is stronger is unknown, but Su Xiao is clear about one thing: facing either of them is currently beyond him.

Thus, the fate of the Ten Old Men is up to chance; dying for twenty Soul Crystals isn’t worth it. Moreover, he already has other arrangements. Among the Ten Old Men, one is destined to survive unless the Zoldyck Family goes mad and seeks their own destruction.

...

At seven in the evening, only two hours remain before the auction begins.

In reality, very few guests came to the auction. These people had only arrived in Yukexin City recently and were unaware of prior events. Most of the people present in the auction venue were gang members who came to fill the ranks.

On the surface, the atmosphere of the auction seemed lively, with many guests, but it was actually hiding a fatal aura.

Currently, Su Xiao was inside the surveillance room on the eighth floor of the auction venue building. Over a dozen staff members were busy, and dozens of monitors were tracking movements around and within the auction venue.

"This camera angle, rewind."

Su Xiao pointed to a monitor, and a young staff member immediately queued up that segment of surveillance, rewinding and slowing it down.

The screen showed several gang members, who seemed ordinary and without any abnormalities.

"Zoom in."

The image was zoomed in, still showing no apparent anomalies, at least in the opinion of the staff.

"Have they arrived yet."

Su Xiao recognized a member of the Travel Group among the gang members; the person’s name was Feitan, Travel Group member number 5, an Enhancer with the Telekinesis Ability.

Picking up the unique communication device of the Hunter World by his side.

"The person has arrived, prepare to welcome the ’guest’."

Su Xiao continued to monitor the display, constantly tracking the blond-haired man Feitan within the gang members. Feitan mingled with the gang members with a natural expression. Oddly, he didn’t have any intention of infiltrating the auction. Several times, he had the opportunity, yet he continued wandering around the vicinity of the auction venue.

Noticing this scene, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes, detecting a scent of conspiracy. However, his experiences in multiple Derivative Worlds indicated that intelligence battles weren’t his forte, and he didn’t intend to outsmart Chrollo.
