[Ding! [Phantom Troupe: Uvogin], has been consumed. +500 STR, +20% Physical Resistance ]
"It's better than nothing" - Cloud muttered as he stood looking at his Stats and seeing how they had scaled so quickly in a single world - "Maybe this not being able to use [Stats Point], isn't a bad thing, in fact, I think I've gained more than I thought I would."
Cloud was happy at this clear improvement, but his expression quickly changed when he read the notification he had just received.
[Remember that the higher the level, the lower the amount of Stats you will receive when devouring prey with lower power level than yours.]
[Additional information about [Stats], it hasn't been unlocked yet, please level up the world level to Lvl 3].
Cloud started to think when he saw this, only to shake his head.
"I'd better think about this another time, after all, I just raised the world level to 2, that means I'll at least need to complete this and two more worlds at the very least" - Cloud said before shaking his head - "I'd better get back home."

"What's going on?" - Feitan asked as he looked at his companions after returning from the auction alongside Franklin.
"We've got bad news, guys" - said Phinks as he looked at his friends seriously - "Nobunaga may have been killed by the [Headhunter]"
"!" - Feitan and Franklin's expression changed drastically to one of terror and fury as they listened as Shizuku recounted again everything that had happened.
"I'm going to kill that son of a bitch" - Feitan said as he barely controlled his killer instinct.
Franklin was silent for a few seconds before sighing - "That coincidence was too big."
"I know, I don't know what to say either" - sighed Chrollo as he frowned - "But we'd better prepare for two things"
"For revenge and what else?" - Machi asked neutrally.
"For them to announce Uvogin's death as well" - answered Chrollo seriously while the expression of the members of the [Phantom Troupe], was getting worse and worse, with the exception of Hisoka who didn't seem too worried.
"Uvogin was killed by the same person?" - Phinks asked seriously.
"I'm not sure, but I don't think so" - answered Chrollo while frowning - "I don't know how things ended in this terrible way, but there's nothing we can do to remedy it, except killing those who dared to attack us."
"When shall we go?" - asked Feitan coolly.
"In a little while, for now I want you to investigate as much as you can about our target, and incidentally to find out as much as possible about Uvogin's disappearance" - said Chrollo seriously - "I'm going to try to capture Neon Nostrade"
"Impossible!" - [Phantom Troupe] members exclaimed when they heard this.
"I beg to differ, leader" - said Machi earnestly - "We cannot accept that you would go to such a dangerous place as near the [Headhunter]"
"I agree with Machi, this is crazy even when no one knows about your appearance" - Phinks said seriously while shaking his head.
"This is not a proposal, it is an order" - said Chrollo neutrally.
"Then we won't accept it, leader" - replied Franklin coldly - "That man has proven to be dangerous, very dangerous."
"I respect you, leader, but I'm not going to accept that order either" - said Shalnark seriously, leaving aside his typical carefree attitude - "Everyone says that if they cut off the spider's head, it dies, and even though it's not entirely true, it has some truth to it, without you, we wouldn't know what to do in situations like this."
"We need Neon Nostrade's ability" - said Chrollo while gritting his teeth - "Had I had it, this wouldn't have happened, or at least I would have warned Nobunaga and Uvogin about the danger."
"But you don't have it, so there's nothing you could do about it" - Machi said seriously - "I too am pained by the loss of two of our oldest comrades and friends, but we cannot allow any more of us to fall, much less you"
"I couldn't have said it any other better way" - Pakunoda said as she nodded at her companion's words - "There are other ways to achieve our goals, leader"
"In the worst case scenario, we can escape" - said Hisoka calmly while a huge smile appeared on his face as he saw the clear hostility of much of the spider towards him - "Did I say something wrong?"
"If someone pulls a leg off the spider, it bites him with all its might" - said Feitan coldly - "We won't escape without having our revenge."
"An admirable attitude, but did any of you think about the consequences of failing?" - Hisoka asked while folding his arms - "I'm one of the first to jump into a fight against someone strong, but that doesn't mean I don't think things through before I do it."
The spider members looked at each other with a frown because Hisoka's words made sense. He was one of those who sought his pleasure before the common good of the group, but that didn't mean that he didn't control himself, or that he didn't think about his situation before moving, otherwise he would have already attacked Chrollo without measuring the consequences.
"At least they still have some conscience left behind all that hatred" - Hisoka said seriously while squinting his eyes - "What Chrollo said is true, we have to look for the information about Cloud Strife and the other members of their little group first before moving"
"It's a miracle to hear you agree with me" - Chrollo said with surprise.
"It's because I don't want you to die for a stupidity" - said Hisoka while squinting his eyes - "Your life belongs to me, and that's why I also agree with the others, you don't have to go near Neon Nostrade, at least until we find out something about that man and his companions."
The spider members said nothing at Hisoka's very disrespectful words, but that didn't mean they didn't agree.
It was strange to be on the same page, but at the same time, it showed that the situation was complicated.
"Ok, I'm not going to Neon Nostrade's" - sighed Chrollo seeing the stance of his companions - "At least for now".
"That's good to hear" - sighed Shizuku as she looked around worriedly.
"Good, now let's divide our jobs, none of you girls are going to be able to get close to gather information about Cloud Strife and the others because he has already recognized them" - said Chrollo seriously as the women looked at each other with a frown - "That leaves us with you guys, though I don't know if this will work out"
"I can always go myself" - said Hisoka with a huge smile - "Let's just say I recognized a certain guy who is working as Neon Nostrade's bodyguard."
"Why is this the first time I'm hearing this?" - Chrollo asked with a frown.
"Because I didn't see it necessary" - answered Hisoka with nonchalance - "As I was saying, if I go to talk to that guy, I'm sure I'll be able to make contact with Cloud Strife and find out some things, remember that I'm the one with the best analytical skills in the group, at least regarding the power level"
"I must be crazy for saying this, but I agree with Hisoka" - Phinks said while gritting his teeth with irritation as he saw how the crazy clown's smile grew slightly - "Of all of us, he's the one who has shown himself to the public the most thanks to his identity as [Hunter]"

"I guess that would be it, though it's not too hard to understand" - Kyōka said while shrugging - "It's just collecting the bounty on the heads of those two because according to what you said, one of them escaped and has to have reported on l end of Nobunaga."
Cloud just shrugged, it wasn't as if he wished to kill the two quickly, in fact, that would have only made the others escape at full speed.
No matter how close they were or how much they wanted revenge, if all their lives were in danger, the leader of the [Ghost Brigade] would have decided to retreat.
"Putting that aside, I think we'd better announce the death of these two as quickly as possible because I don't like the idea of laying two criminals' heads so close to me" - Kyoko said as she looked with disgust at the severed heads of the two spider members.
In a normal situation, she would have asked Cloud to "finish the job" once and for all, but bounties were necessary for her stay in this world.
"The faster we get started, the faster we'll get this over with" - Cloud said as he shrugged his shoulders and walked along with his companions towards the building where the local [Hunter's Association] was located with a bag over his shoulder.
"Wait, what's that guy doing here?" - Menchi said with surprise upon seeing a person he immediately recognized, after all, he had been one of the participants of his test - "Participant Hisoka?"
"It's a pleasure to see you again, examiner Menchi" - answered Hisoka with a friendly smile, although it didn't convince the woman much because she knew about his real personality.
