Chapter 138 Nyon, give us a performance!
1999 8 Month 31 Day.
Before the upcoming Southpis auction in September, there will be an underground auction held by Yokers, an auction exclusively for gangster groups. Of course, during this period, there will also be other underground auctions of varying sizes.
However, the auction on the 31st and the subsequent auction in Southpis were the main course, while the others were just side dishes.
The items auctioned in Southpis are mostly legitimate goods from legitimate sources, while those of dubious or illegitimate origins are placed in underground auctions.
Those who receive invitations to underground auctions are all members of gangs.
For example, Nion Nosra, and Maro Pellis.
Of course, Su Wu, who was with Maro, was also among those invited.
Guests dressed in black suits entered one after another. Su Wu couldn't tell who were bodyguards and who were the guests, because as far as the eye could see, whether they were sitting, standing on the auction stage, or even standing to the side, they were all dressed in black suits.
Of course, he was wearing a white suit; the white stood out starkly against the black background.
"Hill!" Nion spotted the boy in the white suit almost immediately and ran towards him with a cheer.
Da Zuo Nie and the others behind him had no choice but to follow.
After seeing Nion's mental prophecy to some of the gangsters who would be attending the auction, the Nosra family strongly forbade Nion himself from attending this dangerous auction.
However, Nyon's tantrums and relentless pursuit of his goal, coupled with the fact that Hill would also be there, left Dazoni with no choice but to give a perfunctory nod.
They were just there for a quick look, and if they didn't see the white-haired boy, they would leave immediately.
That's what he said, but in reality, Da Zuo Nie didn't intend to actually let the young lady come over.
Unexpectedly, the young lady shook off the bodyguard who was originally with her, made an excuse to go buy clothes, and then ran away through a secret door in the fitting room.
When Dazon received Kurapika's message, he felt that this was indeed something the young lady would do.
Even if the other party did something so capricious, what could the bodyguards do? They could only search separately.
Da Zuo Nie guessed that the young lady would come to the auction venue, so he brought his people over and successfully entered the venue by showing his face, which belonged to the Nosra family's bodyguard captain.
As soon as they arrived, they saw their runaway young lady running towards that white-haired brat.
Da Zuo Nie was stunned for a moment upon seeing this scene.
A short, oddly shaped figure, almost inhuman in appearance, glanced subtly at the bodyguard captain.
Da Zuo Nie's heartbeat... seemed somewhat surprised? Did he recognize that white-haired boy?
But when the young lady Nion Nosra, whom they were supposed to protect, saw the white-haired boy, her heart suddenly raced, which meant... she liked him?
But the white-haired boy's heartbeat... was low and slow, and remained unchanged from beginning to end.
"I told you you'd come! Da Zuo Nie said you wouldn't, and even told me not to come. Luckily I'm smart, I managed to shake off the bodyguards and run away." Nyon stood next to Su Wu and kept grumbling about Da Zuo Nie.
For example, she wouldn't let me go shopping alone, or attend auctions by myself. These kinds of things were things that she thought were going too far.
"Hill, are you even listening to me?!" She said, drawing out her words in annoyance after not getting a reply for a while.
But she found the white-haired boy simply looking at her calmly, his azure eyes—the very eyes that had once captivated her and made her want to buy and collect—staring at her thoughtfully as he spoke:
"...So you were here too?"
Did this young lady appear at the auction in the original story? Then she must be dead, right? If she's dead, the leader can't use her Nen ability, right? Neon doesn't seem like someone who would have lingering thoughts after death, so why isn't she dead? Was she saved? Who saved her? Dazon doesn't seem strong enough to save anyone…
Or perhaps it wasn't originally in the story, but the plot was changed?
"Huh? What? They sent me an invitation, why am I not here?" Nyon said unhappily.
What I mean is, with your strength, you'd be easy to kill here.
Originally a minor supporting character with some screen time, appearing here means he'll just become cannon fodder who dies as soon as he shows his face.
"Is there something you want here?" Su Wu asked curiously.
"Yes, look, I want this one with the fiery red eyes..." Nyon pulled out a catalog and pointed to an item at the top, saying, "One of the seven beauties of the world, I want to see if the real thing is really that beautiful..."
"Looking at the pictures alone, I think your eyes are prettier, Hill," Nyon said.
"Even the real thing isn't as good-looking as mine. There can't be any more beautiful eyes in the world." The white-haired boy pointed to his eyes, his tone sounding somewhat smug.
"Since we're all together... Nyon, why don't you make a prophecy for everyone?" Su Wu suddenly suggested.
Although Nyon cannot give herself a prophecy, she can learn the general situation from the people around her.
"Which great master?" Nyon asked, puzzled, but there was no displeasure on his face.
"For example, your new bodyguards..." Su Wu pointed to each of them one by one.
When one of the women saw the white-haired boy, she couldn't help but back away, hiding herself behind her companion.
"What? Fei Jie, do you know that guy?" a bodyguard asked.
"..." Fei Jie didn't speak, his smile was somewhat forced.
Not only that, I not only knew him, but I was almost killed.
"That little brother has a bad temper," Fei Jie reminded his companion.
"The white-haired bounty hunter demon." Fei Jie lit a cigarette to calm himself down.
"Is it really that bounty hunter demon??" his companion asked incredulously in a low voice.
These contract hunters, who are hired by gangsters to do illegal things, are like criminals meeting police when they encounter bounty hunters...
Putting aside their abilities, they do seem a bit insecure.
They were terrified that they would be caught and turned into bounty hunters at any moment.
"He said he wants the young lady to give us a prophecy..."
"Such a precious ability, they wouldn't use it on us, would they...?"
The group whispered among themselves.
Da Zuo Nie was also somewhat surprised, after all... the BOSS had always regarded the young lady's abilities as a treasure, and they, as mere tools, were not worthy of the young lady using her abilities.
So, the BOSS initially forbade the young lady from participating in the auction, but ordered his bodyguards to participate in the life-threatening auction no matter what, in order to win the treasures the young lady wanted.
In other words... it's sending them to their deaths.
After all, bodyguards like them are just tools; as long as you have money, you can have as many as you want.
Beings with prophetic abilities like the young lady are extremely rare.
"Them? They seem a bit reluctant to work... But since it was Hill who made the request, there's nothing we can do about it..." Nyon said with a helpless expression, taking out the pen and paper he always carried with him.
"Write down your personal information." She handed out slips of paper to everyone.
"They're actually going to use it on us..." The group was somewhat shocked.
"Do you want some, Hill?" Nyon asked the white-haired boy enthusiastically.
"I don't need it. I prefer the unknown aspects of life," the white-haired youth said with a light laugh.
"Me too! That's why I never make predictions for myself!" Nyon said excitedly, as if he had found a kindred spirit.
Da Zuo Nie stared at the white paper, his eyelids twitching involuntarily.
This was the first time the young lady had made a prophecy for him since he started working for Nosla...
Even the boss had to go to great lengths and use treasures to coax the young lady into working, but this young man only needed one sentence to get her to obey! She even asked him if he needed anything!
Even though he knew it was somewhat inappropriate, and that he should even thank the other party, Da Zuo Nie couldn't help but feel a bit of a toothache.
The way he looked at the white-haired boy became very strange.
