Because he was concerned about Moses's emotions, Wright initially chose a tactful approach.
He simply want to ensure Moses's safety as a helper.
However, after a few exchanges of words, Wright realized that Moses really planned to deal with Dis Mendeck alone.
Left with no choice, he could only speak frankly.
It's not that Wright underestimated Moses's ability.
On the contrary, in Wright's mind, Moses is the kind of genius who is rare to be seen even in a hundred years. And in time, he will definitely become a top Nen User.
Wright has full confidence in this, but that was also a matter for the future.
Having spent ten days sparring with Moses in the temple, Wright was well aware of Moses's overall abilities.
Frankly speaking…
As far as Nen Techniques are concerned, Moses hadn't even reached the threshold for a normal Nen battle.
Dis Mendeck, on the other hand, is a Class B wanted criminal.
Although he was only recently upgraded from Class C to Class B, it was because Dis Mendeck killed many bounty hunters who were targeting him.
He is obviously a powerful Nen User, and he is also a type that specializes in combat.
To deal with such a skilled Nen User, one needed to only be proficient in the advanced Nen Technique, Ken, but also have to meet the 30-minute Ren time.
Even if their Ren cannot last for 30 minutes, it must be able to last for at least 20 minutes.
This is the most basic condition.
And in less than two months…
Despite knowing Moses's extraordinary talent, Wright didn't believe that Moses could elevate his Nen mastery to this level within such a short time. It was simply not something a human could achieve.
To go after Dis Mendeck at Moses's level, in Wright's opinion, is truly reckless.
Based on this judgment, Wright could only be upfront with Moses, stating that he believed Moses's current strength was insufficient, and Moses should agree to let him assist in dealing with Dis Mendeck.
"…"
Faced with Wright's statement, Moses was speechless for a moment.
His decision to hunt down Dis Mendeck was for avenging that kind uncle.
And his reason for insisting on doing it myself is to get rewards from 'Perception'.
Because Moses believed that...
Only the highlight moments achieved alone would be more likely to yield rewards, and the weight of those rewards might also change.
On the matter of killing Dis Mendeck…
If he invites an expert to deal with Dis Mendeck together, then he can kill Dis Mendeck without any difficulty.
However, Moses doesn't think this kind of thing is worth rewarding.
Moses naturally couldn't explain the reason to Wright.
However, when Wright expressed his thoughts straightforwardly, Moses realized that Wright was not doing it for achivements, but was worried that he would lose his life in vain because of this incident.
'This guy...'
'Despite the utilitarian considerations, he is indeed a good person through and through.'
It was precisely because he saw this that Moses dared to make such a request to Wright.
However…
The current issue was not whether he should deal with Dis Mendeck alone, but the fact that Wright actually regards the Phantom Troupe as a stepping stone to his Single-Star promotion.
This was simply seeking death!
Moses's current thoughts were focused on squashing Wright's unrealistic idea.
Because he can be 100% sure that…
If Wright goes to find trouble with the Phantom Troupe, then the fate waiting for Wright will definitely be death.
According to the original work-
At this point in time, before the original story began, the Phantom Troupe, which has a total of thirteen members, has only replaced two members, namely No. 4 and No. 8. The reason why No. 4 was replaced was because of their tragic defeat at the hands of Hisoka, who then joined the Phantom Troupe as No. 4.
And the reason why No. 8 was replaced is because Killua's father, Silva, accepted some kind of commission against the Phantom Troupe and killed the No. 8.
Later on, Shizuku inherited the identity of No. 8 and became a member of the Phantom Troupe.
This indicates that during the six years before the original plot began, the Phantom Troupe did not lose any members due to Wright's pursuit.
In other words, Wright was unable to shake the Phantom Troupe and ultimately met his demise at their hands.
Therefore, what Moses wants to do at this moment is, to make Wright give up the idea of finding trouble with the Phantom Troupe.
"Wright, have you ever fought against the Phantom Troupe?"
Moses ignored Wright's statement about his perceived lack of strength and instead asked about Wright's pursuit of the members of the Phantom Troupe.
"Don't change the subject!!"
Wright shouted loudly into the phone.
Moses said solemnly: "This is very important, so answer my question first."
"…"
Wright paused for a moment, then reluctantly said:
"I have fought against them, or more accurately, I fought with one of the members of the Phantom Troupe. However, the other party chose to avoid the battle and even used innocent civilians as shields, which caused me to miss the opportunity to pursue them."
As a Class A criminal group, the Phantom Troupe has one characteristic.
Most of the time, members of the Phantom Troupe are operating independently.
Sometimes they formed pairs, and at other times, the members acted alone.
It was because of this that Wright had the confidence to regard the Phantom Troupe as his hunting target.
Otherwise, he would never be arrogant enough to face multiple members of the Phantom Troupe alone.
The last piece of information he received coincided with a member of the Phantom Troupe acting alone.
If it were information about multiple members of the Phantom Troupe, then Wright would definitely not act recklessly.
As for the members of the Phantom Troupe acting alone, how could Wright miss this rare opportunity? That's why he immediately carry out the hunting operation without stopping.
However, the member of the Phantom Troupe seemed not to be interested in meaningless fighting, or perhaps, because their Nen Abilities tended to be non-combat, they chose to avoid fighting and get rid of his entanglement.
But the problem is that, he actually lost track of them.
Listening to Wright's words, Moses thought that it was fortunate that the Phantom Troupe member he encountered wasn't Uvogin, otherwise, they wouldn't have avoided the fight.
"Wright."
Thinking of this, Moses said seriously: "Stop looking for trouble with the Phantom Troupe. Those guys are very powerful and they are definitely not an existence you can handle."
"…"
Wright's eyes widened when he heard this.
'Huh?'
'Weren't we talking about how you are not strong enough to deal with Dis Mendeck...'
'Why change the topic like this?'
"Fine, fine, I won't trouble the Phantom Troupe anymore."
Wright endured it and made a perfunctory remark, then changed the subject and said: "So, about the hunt of Dis Mendeck, as long as you agree to let me participate..."
"I refuse."
Moses refused without hesitation.
"I'm telling you..."
Wright took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "You still don't get it? The strength of Dis Mendeck is definitely not comparable to that of a murderer like Ian!!"
Ian is the Nen User murderer that Moses killed in the temple.
"I know."
Moses said calmly: "Then... do you want to have a fight with me?"
"Huh?!"
Wright was stunned.
