As if he noticed the gaze, Killua, who was looking for a place in the aisle, stopped his movements very keenly, suddenly turned his head and looked at the entrance, and immediately saw John and the others.
"It's John! As expected, he is here to participate in this auction just as Kurapika said!" Killua thought to himself with a look in his eyes.
Obviously, before coming to the Yorknew City auction, although he and Gon did not come into contact with the Phantom Troupe as in the original plot, they still got in touch with Kurapika and learned from Kurapika that John was here and wanted to participate in the underground auction.
But Killua was thinking about more than just that.
"There was news from home that he pushed open the seventh door of the trial.
Did this guy hide his strength at the beginning, or did he make incredible progress after leaving the Sky Arena..."
Killua couldn't help but have thoughts one after another, and his eyes were very complicated when he looked at John.
There were fears, doubts, and even more eagerness to try.
As someone who came out of the same Hunter exam and had many contacts, it is impossible to say that Killua has no desire to compete with John.
Especially when John took away his Hunter's number plate during the exam, Killua always wanted to regain his standing in the game.
Of course, what he fears most now is John.
Pushing open the seventh gate of the trial was something even his elder brother couldn't do. For John to have such amazing power, his strength must be very terrifying.
"Hmm?!"
Mia and Shizuku, who were following John, saw John and Steve stop suddenly. They couldn't help but follow the lines of sight of John and Steve. When they saw Gon and Killua in the aisle not far away, Mia also showed a look of surprise like Steve.
Although she had no real contact with Gon and Killua, she had met them in the competition and got to know them from Steve's explanation.
"Why are these two children here? Are they here to buy some auction items?" Mia couldn't help but speculate in her heart.
Beside her, Shizuku didn't know Gon and Killua, but looked at them curiously.
"What's wrong Killua...hey, it's John!"
Killua noticed that John and others had stopped. Gon couldn't help but turn his head and look, and immediately followed Killua's line of sight and saw John and his group at the entrance of the auction.
There was surprise on his face, and then he seemed to remember something, and showed an expression of sudden realization.
Killua learned from Kurapika that John was in Yorknew City and would come to participate in the auction. Gon, who had been working with Killua, naturally also knew about it. The initial surprise was just that he didn't react for a moment.
"Yeah! Come on, let's find a seat!"
Seeing that Gon had also discovered John, Killua immediately looked away from John, and then casually held Gon's arm and continued to look for their seats.
"Find a seat and sit down!"
Killua did not want to have contact with Gon and John, and John had no interest in Killua and Gon. He put his arm around Steve's waist, greeted Mia and Shizuku behind him, and walked into the venue to go to their seats.
Sit back and wait.
About half an hour later, the auction hall was filled with people, and the auction started at the same time.
First, the sexy female host with a first-class figure came on stage to open the show, and then the new Ten Old Men showed their faces through video. Then, the auction items were escorted to the stage one by one.
The atmosphere immediately became heated at the beginning of the auction. Various treasures were put on the stage, which aroused fierce bidding from the guests in the venue.
Some items were sold for tens of millions of jenny, and others for hundreds of millions, or even more than one billion jenny.
"The next item to be auctioned is Greed Island, known as the dream game!" On the stage, the sexy female host held the microphone and shouted in a high voice.
Next to her, there was an ordinary-looking game console placed on a wooden table, and a strong man walked onto the stage with a big wooden hammer, and smashed the game console hard.
Boom!!
The big wooden hammer accurately hit the game console. The heavy force caused the wooden table under the game console to be smashed on the spot. However, when the big wooden hammer was removed, the game console was lying quietly among the broken wood, completely without any traces of damage.
"Wow!!"
Many guests in the venue were surprised and exclaimed when they saw this scene, and they suddenly became very interested in the Greed Island game console.
After all, there are only a few people who know and understand Nen. They cannot comprehend the Nen covering the Greed Island game console, so naturally, they feel incredible about the scene before them.
"Has it finally appeared!"
"Is this the Greed Island?"
"The Nen attached to it is very strong. Not to mention such an attack, even I may not be able to destroy it!"
Including John, Mia, Steve, Shizuku, and Delilah in the seats immediately perked up and stared at the game consoles on the stage with serious expressions.
After showing off the special features of the Greed Island game console, the sexy female host explained the situation of the seller of the game console and then started bidding.
"Let's start bidding from 900 million jenny!"
"Someone offered 1 billion jenny."
"Someone here is offering 1.5 billion!"
"No. 31 offers 3 billion jenny!"
Compared with the previous auction items, Greed Island seems to be just a game, but the bidding is far from what it was before. In just a short period of time, the bidding soared, exceeding 10 billion jenny, and it is still climbing.
"Is this such an exaggeration?" Steve's eyes widened. Seeing that the bidding quickly exceeded 20 billion jenny, he could not suppress the shock on his face.
"It's really too exaggerated. We don't have enough money at all!" Mia also whispered softly, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Sure enough, it's better to snatch it directly!" Shizuku muttered.
Delilah had no idea about what was going on, and just watched the fierce bidding curiously.
