The scenery outside the car window flew past, and before he knew it, the black car that Moses was riding in had arrived at the airport.
After opening the car door and getting out, Moses walked straight to the airport's lobby.
With Cheadle and Beans handling the Hunter Association's affairs, Moses barely had to worry about anything.
It seems that-
Being the Chairman of the Hunter Association was pretty comfortable.
However, if a major incident occurred, Moses, as the Chairman, would have to be the first to step forward and take the brunt of it.
At present, the Hunter Association was still gathering information on Beyond. Until a clear course of action was established, Moses didn't need to intervene.
Soon, Moses boarded the airship.
His purpose of this trip was to help Kurapika retrieve the remaining Scarlet Eyes.
Once that was settled, he could focus entirely on dealing with Beyond without any lingering concerns.
Not long after, the airship slowly ascended from the tarmac.
Kakin Empire, Kakin City.
A city named after the country itself, which shows its importance.
In fact, Kakin City is the capital of Kakin Empire.
Night had fallen.
Dark clouds churned in the sky, obscuring the moon.
But the city's neon lights illuminated the night like artificial daylight.
At the top floor of a skyscraper in the city center, a man with sharp Western features stepped out of the bathroom.
He was completely naked, with steam visibly rising from his skin.
But in his hand, he held something that would send chills down anyone's spine.
A freshly peeled, intact woman's skin.
The man carried the skin to the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, tilted his chin slightly, and looked down at the night view of the city below.
The high-rise building where he was located is the tallest building in the entire city.
And now, he is standing on the top floor of this building.
He enjoyed the feeling of looking down upon the world, and he also enjoyed the fleeting, poetic moment after exerting himself.
The man's name was Tserriednich Hui Guo Rou, and he's the Fourth Prince of the Kakin Empire.
The King of Kakin Empire, Nasubi Hui Guo Rou, had eight official wives and fourteen legitimate children.
There is no ranking difference among these legitimate children, nor were their titles affected by gender.
All legitimate heirs were simply referred to as princes, with their designations determined solely by birth order.
Tserriednich was the fourth child in order of birth, so he was called the Fourth Prince.
His favorite thing to do is to peel off the entire skin off young women while they were still alive, and then make the skin into art. And when it came to quality, his standards were pathologically high.
In addition to this, he also had a hobby of collecting human organs.
But if there was one treasure he cherished above all else, it was undoubtedly the Scarlet Eyes of the Kurta Clan.
However, his fixation extends to certain specifics, so he not only collected a lot of Scarlet Eyes, but also particularly liked the whole head with the Scarlet Eyes still intact.
He believes that-
The eyes alone cannot fully capture the breathtaking beauty of the Scarlet Eyes.
Only with the head as a backdrop can the true essence of the Scarlet Eyes be perfectly showcased.
"A bit lacking."
Tserriednich glanced at the nearly perfect human skin he had just peeled off in his hand.
Overall, this piece of human skin met his requirements and aesthetics. However, there was a small burn scar on the inner thigh. While it was only the size of a marble, it was enough to make it unbearable for him.
Therefore, after a brief moment of admiration, Tserriednich casually discarded the meticulously peeled skin into the trash bin behind him, as if tossing out garbage.
After throwing away the human skin, Tserriednich raised his hands and pushed back his damp hair.
He did not retract his hand afterwards, but kept holding his upright hair, and then looked down from a high vantage point at the night view of the capital, which is a view he never tired of, no matter how many times he saw it.
If Moses was nearby, he might have mistaken the man standing before the floor-to-ceiling window for Hisoka, judging by the silhouette alone.
On the city's main road, cars flowed like a river.
Among the traffic, an inconspicuous, old, and worn-out car moved slowly.
"I didn't realize you had this kind of 'hobby'."
Sitting in the driver's seat, Hisoka looked up at the rearview mirror and saw a woman with long brown hair, a wide hat and sunglasses, with only a small mouth painted with pink lipstick visible.
It is not accurate to say that this person is a woman.
Because the person in the back seat is Kurapika.
Hearing Hisoka's teasing, Kurapika frowned slightly and replied coldly: "If you insist on coming along, I suggest you disguise yourself as well."
Upon hearing this, Hisoka didn't say anything. Instead, he plucked a tissue with one hand and coated it with his pink Aura.
Instantly, a self-portrait bearing about sixty to seventy percent resemblance to Kurapika inexplicably appeared on the tissue.
This was his Nen Ability, Texture Surprise.
While it is not possible to achieve full disguise, rendering a detailed image was effortless.
The reason why this self-portrait is only 60% to 70% similar to Kurapika is because Hisoka did it on purpose.
"Like this?"
Hisoka casually covered his face with the tissue that had been transformed with Texture Surprise.
Faced with Hisoka's antics, Kurapika merely stared at him with a gaze sharp as a blade.
Seeing Kurapika's reaction, Hisoka lost interest and tossed the tissue aside.
Soon-
The car arrived near their destination.
Kurapika and Hisoka got out of the car one after another and looked at a building in the distance.
The top floor of that building was where Tserriednich lived.
And the eyes of his compatriots that Kurapika had been thinking about all the time were moved to Tserriednich's residence just two days ago.
It is unclear why Tserriednich had suddenly relocated Scarlet Eyes to his residence, which has less secure measures, and it is also unclear whether Tserriednich will move the Scarlet Eyes again.
That's why tonight, Kurapika had come-
After looking at the building for a while, Kurapika walked forward without saying a word.
Hisoka curled his lips slightly and followed behind Kurapika.
Somewhere in the building-
A pair of cold, gleaming eyes emerged from the darkness.
"Oh?"
The owner of those eyes seemed to have noticed something and they exclaimed in surprise.
This person-
is a member of Kakin Empire's secret forces.
And he had noticed Kurapika and Hisoka's arrival...
