AN: So I have a couple of large tests and projects around the corner among other things so I will be taking the rest of today off to work on that instead of writing. so here is a half-finished chapter/half-length chapter for you all. If I have the time I'll try to make another chapter of similar length before the next regular upload. Have a good rest of your Sunday!

"Recurring villains huh… not final boss material?" coming to a stop we took a small moment of pause to talk. Moving over to the side of the street as we were talking, while keeping our guard up and ears peeled.
"No… that's saved more for people like the chairman and people on a similar level of strength." Speaking in a much smaller voice so as to not attract attention, we slowed our pace down as we reached our area of search. Though at this point, I was more hoping the two boys would spot us and come out of hiding. Mostly due to realizing calling out for them would be useless and only attract unwanted attention.
"The chairman? That old man?" Peering into the windows of the upper floors with his hand over his brow, Leorio continued to speak with me without taking his eyes off his surroundings. Something I told him to do, knowing that the boys would be stalking the spiders from above.
"He IS only called the 'world's strongest human' dumbass." jabbing him in his side with my elbow, I beckoned him to follow me as we moved further down the street deeming the previous section clear for now. And as we were hurrying down the street, we both came to an immediate stop as we heard a loud crash and some signs of a struggle.
"Leorio, you stay here since you aren't combat-oriented. I already don't have high hopes of getting those two out, not to mention while protecting you… And if this goes wrong, probably will…" running down to the corner of the street before stopping for a second, I turned to Leorio while thinking for a second. Before deciding to relinquish my most valuable asset.
"I have information regarding Kurapika's whereabouts. He is supposedly a bodyguard for the heir of the Nostrade crime family, so if I am not back within 48 hours go get him or something…" Sure if he really looked into that with his resources as a Hunter he could figure out that was all BS, but that wasn;t important right now. Besides, I was going headfirst into the worst possible place I as a transmigrant could go. While I could gamble on the idea of some memory block being placed on me by the 'Not a ROB' ROB, I decided to not bet on it when it concerned Pakunoda.
'Thankfully I have something that almost qualifies as a countermeasure in place…' waving Leorio off, I rushed towards the sound I hard earlier that came from a few houses down, what was most likely a wall or two being busted open by Gon in his escape attempts or confrontation with the spiders.
And as I got closer to the source, I began to lower my presence by using Zetsu. Something I was unhappy with, as I would have preferred to use In yet I really couldn't coat my whole presence with it. Currently, I could at most cover a decent chunk of my aura, something that paired decently well with my Hatsu but not enough for my intended usage right now.
