Finally, half a month later, the airship landed in a city in the Dentora region of the Republic of Padokea.
Oboro breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally get rid of the poker-faced boy...
However, after walking down the airship stairs, Oboro had a whim and came up with a plan.
"Here... This is someone's contact number. I think he is more likely to become your big client than me..."
Oboro handed a note to Illumi.
Illumi didn't have any doubts and nodded, "Stronger than you?"
We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't know... However, he should be more in line with your Zoldyck's positioning of 'target groups'...
This guy likes to kill people and often causes trouble... It just so happens that you are experts in handling problems, a perfect match.
Oboro didn't even say goodbye or see you later. After finishing speaking, he ran away in a puff of smoke.
Let Illumi go find Hisoka... They have the same smell and can get together.
This will also distract Illumi and prevent him from targeting him again.
Illumi watched Oboro's departing back, lowered his head, took out his phone, and directly dialed the number on the paper.
After a few rings, the call was connected.
"Oboro?" A lazy and expectant voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hisoka.
This number was specially prepared for Oboro, and only Oboro knew it.
It had been almost two years since they last met, and Hisoka had been wondering when Oboro would contact him.
"Sorry, Oboro gave me the number... He said you might have some trouble that needs to be dealt with, and I can help you... As for the price, since it's the first order, I can give you a certain discount." Illumi responded like he was reading a script.
"..."
A brief silence.
"Who... are you?"
Hisoka's tone turned a little cold.
Dentora Region is some distance away from the Heavens Arena.
The Heavens Arena is located in the northeast, while Kukuroo Mountain, where the Zoldyck family is located, is in the Dentora region in the northwest, exactly the opposite.
After leaving the station, Oboro took a bus to his destination.
There were no empty seats on the bus, and they were all full.
Moreover, most of the passengers looked like they were trained... Some were burly, some were as thin as monkeys, but their eyes were very sharp.
There were all kinds of people... but without exception, they were all going for money and fame.
These people came from all over the world, and being able to make a name for themselves in the Heavens Arena was a good opportunity for them to turn over and grow.
The Heavens Arena is the fourth tallest building in the Hunter world, known as the holy land of fighters and the paradise of martial arts.
The number of viewers every year exceeds one billion, and the number of challengers registered every day is more than four thousand.
In addition, there are countless betting pools related to the Heavens Arena, which to a considerable extent, drives the gambling economy.
There is also the underground arena industry...
This also makes the Heavens Arena a famous tourist attraction. Even if you don't participate in the competition, people from all over the world go there to travel every day.
Oboro, if he remembers correctly, the rules of the Heavens Arena seem to be that winning a match on the first floor only gets you 152 Jenny, which is equivalent to the price of a glass of juice.
The higher you go, the higher the prize money will be. The prize money needs to be accumulated... If you lose, you may lose it all. The officials of the Heavens Arena can't just give away money for nothing...
Around the 50th floor, the prize money is about 50,000 Jenny. After reaching the 100th floor, the contestants will be arranged with a private room.
The prize money above the 150th floor is over 10 million, and at the 190th floor, it is 200 million... Above the 200th floor, it is basically fighting for honor, and there is no more prize money.
However, the room will be upgraded to a luxury suite, and they will be allowed to carry weapons... They also have to sign an agreement, the style is more inclined to a deathmatch, and there will be a risk to life.
Killua first came here two years later, that is, when he was six years old, and reached the 150th floor in two months, and finally stopped at the 200th floor, taking a total of two years.
During this period, he must have experienced elimination and failure, and had to restart 'climbing the tower'.
It can be seen that the 150th to 200th floors are the most difficult.
Above the 200th floor, although there is no money to be made, Oboro's idea is very simple.
He can use the prize money he has saved to bet on himself to win. In this way, money makes money... What he can earn will be an astronomical figure!
It's just... This method has a time limit. As he wins more and more matches, the odds will definitely get smaller and smaller. In the end... there will be no suspense, and he will have nothing to gain.
"I can contact a relatively large casino in the area... It's best to be able to be the bookmaker myself..."
The car started and slowly drove away. Oboro, who was sitting by the window, looked at the scenery outside the window and thought to himself.
"Little brother... Are you here for tourism?"
Sitting next to Oboro was a bald man with explosive muscles, a thick golden beard, and wearing a white training suit.
He looked like a martial artist.
The bald burly man grinned, looking very enthusiastic.
"Yeah."
Oboro smiled and nodded.
Whether from his body shape or his clothes, Oboro didn't look as professional as the other party. He was just an ordinary person.
"My name is Charles. I am a rising star who is about to make a name for himself in the Heavens Arena... Do you need me to sign an autograph for you? Maybe it can sell for a good price in the future..." The burly man showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled confidently.
"No, thank you."
Oboro politely refused.
"Are you sure? I am very powerful... You missed a great opportunity. You might regret it when I become famous~"
"..."
Oboro sighed softly.
The car wouldn't reach its destination until very late. That is to say, they would have to spend a long time on the car...
Seeing the bald man's appearance and enthusiastic attitude, and being so talkative, Oboro felt that if he didn't agree, he would probably keep nagging.
"Please."
Oboro said, seeing him even taking out a notebook and pen from his backpack.
The bald man's eyes lit up, and he wrote his name on the paper with a flourish. After tearing it off from the notebook, he handed it to Oboro.
He also gave Oboro a thumbs up: "You have good eyes!"
"..."
With such a person, Oboro couldn't think of being quiet.
Along the way, Charles kept chattering, and he knew a lot about the Heavens Arena.
He had fought in the arena and reached the fortieth floor before being eliminated... According to Charles, he was too young back then.
This time he returned, he was very well prepared and was confident that he could reach the 200th floor.
He had undergone five years of hard training, visited and learned the techniques of many martial arts schools before regaining his confidence and wanting to show off his skills in the Heavens Arena.
Oboro looked at the rookie in front of him, who was talking endlessly, without laughing.
Instead, he gave him enough respect, respect for his dream!
As night deepened, they finally arrived in the city where the Heavens Arena was located.
As soon as they got off the car, a prosperous atmosphere of a big city came to them.
High-rise buildings, neon lights flashing... This place is more developed than Glam Gas Land. The economy, the flow of people, and the degree of modernization are not comparable to the former.
"Charles."
After getting off the car, Oboro stopped the bald man.
"I can take you to the Heavens Arena..." Charles thought that Oboro was new to the area, didn't know the way, and wanted to ask for his help.
"Do you have money?"
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Oboro stretched out his hand to him.
"Huh?"
Charles was stunned.
"Hurry up..." Oboro hooked his finger, his meaning was obvious.
After understanding what was going on, the bald man took out his wallet as if possessed and handed over a small stack of banknotes.
"Thanks."
Oboro took it very calmly, waved his hand, and walked away leisurely.
Leaving Charles standing there in a daze, scratching his head, a little dizzy...
He didn't know... that he was actually affected by Nen.
And Oboro had more cash and planned to find a hotel to stay for one night first, and then go to the Heavens Arena to register and start fighting tomorrow.
Without the 'help' of this kind-hearted person, Charles, he would have to sleep on the streets tonight. He was really short of money and couldn't make ends meet.
It wasn't in vain that he listened to the bald man's nagging all the way.
It was very torturous...
After a while, he found a hotel not far from the Heavens Arena to settle down, and also had a delicious meal.
He also bought a set of clothes at a mall... a pair of black leather shoes, black suit pants, and a white shirt, plus a tie.
A typical office worker's outfit... But the whole person looked a lot more energetic, quite cool, and looked more mature.
He is very casual when buying things... In addition, the saleswoman was very enthusiastic in promoting it, and it seemed to be a branded product, so he bought it because he had enough money.
Having lived two lives, his soul is more old-fashioned, and he doesn't like styles that are too young.
A man... always needs a set of clothes that he can show off.
After coming out of the mall, Oboro, with his hands in his pockets and wearing sunglasses, looked up and saw the towering, majestic building that pierced into the night sky.
At first glance, it seemed that the spire was suspended in the bright moon... It was the Heavens Arena!
This landmark is located in the center of a vast square.
Starting with the Heavens Arena, this area has everything for sale, and the commercial atmosphere is very strong.
Compared to tourists and citizens, the main streets are more frequented by... all kinds of fighters. Some are wearing plain clothes, but Oboro can tell at a glance that their aura is extraordinary.
Some of the young girls and women passing by were secretly looking at Oboro, and some... were giving him a blatant stare, which shows that... this outfit is indeed good.
"It feels like a glowing pillar from a distance. I didn't expect the building to be so big when I got closer..."
