Chapter 258: You Are Too Weak
Leorio rubbed his chin and then knocked his fist around his wrist.
"Then I have a good idea."
The night gradually fell, and the lights began to show the prosperity of the night in Yorknew City.
The underground auction where the mafias gathered was about to begin.
In the hotel's conference room, Lan also made the final arrangements for everyone before the action.
"Although this operation is mainly to protect ourselves and explore intelligence."
"But if we happen to come across the target items that the young lady has always wanted to buy, you can also get these items without endangering our own safety."
Lan patted the projector in front of him.
Suddenly, the auction items that Neon wanted were presented to everyone in the form of pictures.
"Full body Mummy of the Queen of Colco."
"Actor's son, Mareech's used tissue paper with DNA verification."
"And the last thing…"
When the last projection screen appeared, Kurapika's pupils shrank again.
"The eyeballs from the Kurta Clan, also known as the Scarlet Eyes."
The sound of his violently beating heart once again set Melody's ears in motion.
"Tonight, we will be divided into three groups: Bidding, monitoring, and guarding, and each will perform its own tasks."
"It should be no problem. This underground auction is based on trust."
"Abandon all disputes on the ground. This is the rule of the mafia association."
"Even if there is a small dispute, you must not cause trouble."
"Be careful and cautious when talking to outsiders."
"As usual, everything should be based on your own safety."
"Then, that's it."
"Action begins!!"
Soon, many bodyguards dressed in cool suits began their actions.
Shachmono Tocino, with Linssen, Ivlenkov, and Baise, always guarded Neon.
On Lan's side, Squala and Basho drove for Lan, Kastro, Kurapika, Siper, and Melody.
The group officially went to the venue, which is the Cemetery Building. On the other side, Leorio also helped Gon and his friends find a suitable method, which he said was a sure win.
There are many auction methods.
For example, exchange. This is one of the auction methods, also known as barter. The buyers each disclose the items they bring, and the sellers choose one of them to exchange with their auction items.
Another example is restriction. It is also one of the auction methods, also commonly known as conditional auction.
The seller gives conditions other than money and hands the auction items to the buyer who best meets the conditions. This method originated from underground auctions and is now also used in public auctions, making it quite very popular.
Leorio used such a method.
"Come on, welcome!!"
At a corner of the street, Leorio greeted customers loudly. "Everyone, come and see!!"
"There is a conditional auction here!!!"
He has the temperament of a host or a profiteer's agent and shouts to the crowd:
"The auction item is this diamond worth three million Jenny."
"Quality guaranteed, and it comes with a certificate of appraisal from a genuine store!"
"The condition for winning the bid is… Arm wrestling competition!!"
"The first person who beats this boy can get it for free!"
Gon sat behind a simple wooden table made of boxes and put his arms on the table.
Killua held the diamond and presented it to everyone.
Leorio continued to shout loudly: "The cost of participating is only 10,000 Jenny!!"
10,000 for 3 million, and the condition is just to win the arm wrestling competition from a little kid?!
Is there such a good thing in the world?
It is worthy of being Yorknew City during the auction. Everything is possible. It is really a dream auction method!!
"The opponent is that little kid, I will definitely win!!"
With this idea, the whole scene began to line up in a long line.
"Is this the conditional auction…"
Killua sighed while managing the queue: "But to earn 10,000 Jenny at a time, to earn the lowest price of 8.9 billion Jenny, we must win 890,000 times…"
Killua seemed to see their long future. On the other hand, Gon was also a little uncomfortable sitting there. But it was not that he felt bored, but that he felt that he was fooling people.
"Will I be punished by God for making money so easily…"
After defeating another challenger, he rubbed his shoulders and felt a little guilty. Just when he was a little entangled.
"Okay, the next challenger!!!"
"I'll do it."
A big-eyed cute girl with glasses handed over 10,000 Jenny.
"Please give me more advice."
She put her hands on the table and greeted Gon politely.
"Hello."
It was the first time that Gon saw such a polite girl, and she was the first female to challenge him.
After the two of them greeted each other politely, Gon naturally extended his right hand.
The big-eyed cute girl who originally wanted to extend her left hand could only extend her right hand.
When the two of them shook hands, Gon's eyes changed instantly.
Then, with his eyes twitching, he began to exert force on his hands.
If it was the previous arm wrestling, he would pretend to use all his strength and then turn the tables to defeat the other party at the end.
Then, facing this cute girl at the moment, he really exerts the effort.
Not only did he grit his teeth on his face, but even the wooden box under which the two people's arms were cushioned began to burst with cracks.
"Haaaa."
In the end, Gon, panting heavily, pushed the big-eyed cute girl's right hand down.
"What a pity…"
The big-eyed cute girl murmured, then bowed to Gon, turned around, and disappeared into the crowd.
"Were you serious just now?"
Killua came over and asked in a low voice.
With his eyes, he could naturally see whether Gon was exerting force.
"Well, I don't know who she is."
"Maybe she is the champion of the women's arm wrestling world competition?"
The two were discussing it there.
And on the opposite side of Yorknew City.
On the dark, empty, and old alley. "I really want that diamond…"
Shizuku rubbed her wrist and whispered. "That kid is too strong."
"Shizuku, you are too weak."
Feitan's mouth was like a knife, stabbing people's hearts.
"You should have used your left hand to compete with him."
Franklin stretched out his big hand and covered Shizuku's head.
"Yes…"
Shizuku reacted cutely.
"You are left-handed; why don't you use your left hand to compete?"
"The other party used his right hand, so I used my right hand. I really want to go back and challenge him three more times."
Feitan refused directly: "No, there is no time; it's time to start working."
"That's right, and it's not our way to get things by competing."
Franklin followed. "Don't forget, we are thieves."
"What do you want? Just come over and snatch it."
They have regarded this rule as the truth along the way and have always practiced it according to this standard.
It's just that… If you rob something, shouldn't it be called robbers?
And it just so happens that the upcoming underground auction is where the most precious things in the world are gathered.
