Ryles's target is none other than Koko from the Hex Family.
With her silken silver hair, delicate almost perfect features, and curves accentuating her graceful figure, every aspect of Koko stirs Ryles's desires.
And the Spiders never give up on what they desire because of worries, fears, etc.
Snatch what you want!
Direct, simple, and brutal!
So, even though Ryles is aware of the power behind Koko, he doesn't have the slightest intention of backing down.
He specifically invited Franklin to ensure they can seize their target in one fell swoop.
Now-
Ryles and Franklin enter the Orlum Casino in a brazen manner.
They haven't decided how to snatch Koko yet, but one thing is certain: they will unleash violence during the process.
But now, before they even start their action, the chaos spreading from inside the casino catches their attention.
"Interesting."
Seeing the endless stream of gamblers fleeing from inside, Ryles's eyes were filled with luster. He strokes his chin with his hand, and said with a smile: "Franklin, it seems we've arrived just in time."
Whatever the cause of the chaos in the casino, its significant impact indicates that it will shake the security forces inside.
This means their next actions will become much easier.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Franklin remains calm, his gaze steady.
Ryles smiles and strides towards the gambling hall's entrance.
Franklin and Rice, who were heading towards the gambling hall, formed a sharp contrast with the gamblers who were escaping from it.
They weave through the oncoming crowd, heading straight for the gambling hall's entrance.
At the entrance of the gambling hall, several burly security guards in black suits are responsible for crowd evacuation here.
Then, they notice Ryles and Franklin coming straight towards them.
"Gentlemen, I'm really sorry."
Upon seeing this, the security team's captain steps forward to greet Franklin and Ryles. Then, he explained politely: "Because there's a situation inside, currently..."
However, before he can finish his words, Ryles slaps his head, crushing it.
"Eh!?"
Several other security personnel on the scene are shocked, raising their guns to shoot Ryles.
But Ryles doesn't give them a chance to shoot. With a short dash forward, he effortlessly snaps their necks, then strides into the gambling hall before their bodies hit the ground.
Franklin, on the other hand, ignored the many fearful glances from behind, steps over the bodies on the ground and follows closely behind Ryles into the gambling hall.
At the same time.
Inside the casino,
Dis Mendeck, whose whole body was covered with Aura, had a ferocious look on his face.
Now, all he wants is to find the damn Nen User bastard who ambushed him.
"Come out, I'll definitely cut you to pieces!!"
Dis Mendeck was holding a machete in his hand, scanning his surroundings incessantly as he moves forward, attempting to find 3D Hisoka's figure among the fleeing crowd.
However, after scanning several times, he finds nothing.
Even in his raging fury, Dis Mendeck still retains a last bit of thought, realizing that the opponent may choose to flee because the ambush wasn't fatal enough.
Because he felt this approach suits the style of that ambusher's abilities.
Not confronting directly, only waiting for every opportunity to ambush.
"Damned bastard…"
Dis Mendeck's eyes were red.
Failing to find the Nen User and failing to control his emotions, he ended up killing the first two security guards.
This puts him in a very unfavorable situation.
Of course, he doesn't mind fighting his way out, but this situation could have been avoided, yet he chose the worst course of action.
Perhaps, this is what the ambusher wanted to see. His own loss of reason was very likely fell into the hands of the ambusher.
"Dammit, dammit, dammit!!"
Thinking of this, Dis Mendeck swung his machete crazily, chopping off the nearby tables.
Suddenly,
Dis Mendeck swiftly turns aside, and a looming black shadow was reflected in his eyes.
Without any hesitation, Dis Mendeck swung his machete forward, using a little bit of Nen from the blade to accurately strike at the incoming black shadow.
Shing!
The black shadow suddenly split in two, landing diagonally on the carpet behind Dis Mendeck. But it was just a playing card that had been chopped into two halves, with strands of Nen quietly emanating from the remnants.
Dis Mendeck held his machete horizontally in front of him, his bloodshot eyes scanning for the person who attacked him.
Directly in front of him, the 'Four Corners' of the Hex Family stood in a line formation.
They consisted of three men and one woman, all dressed in black, with stable and smooth Nen covering their bodies.
The one who attacked Dis Mendeck with the playing card just now was one of the 'Four Corners' named Francis.
Seeing Dis Mendeck cut down the playing cards so effortlessly, Francis took out three playing cards from his pocket and held them in his hand. Instead of casually attacking again, he infused his Nen into the playing cards.
He is an Emitter, specializing in attaching his Aura to playing cards, then throwing them to create lethality.
His previous attack was to make Dis Mendeck understand that he was an Emitter, and even playing cards thrown by hand could have greater power than firearms.
After that, he would quietly hold the playing cards on the sidelines, forcing Dis Mendeck to be on guard against him in the ensuing battle, thus unable to focus on dealing with his three companions.
The numerical advantage on their side would further enhance his presence as an Emitter.
Sometimes, Emitters do not need to take action. Just by 'standing on position', they could put pressure on the enemy and seize opportunities created by their companions to strike at the right moment.
"The young lady's order is to not hold back, just kill him."
Francis held the playing cards and said expressionlessly.
The other three 'Four Corners' are the Enhancer Syneal, Enhancer Dorn, and the Conjurer Sira.
Hearing what Francis said, they naturally had no objection.
Syneal and Dorn, who are Enhancers, charged at Dis Mendeck head-on without hesitation.
Meanwhile, positioned behind them, Conjurer Sira concentrated her Nen into both hands, forming a lasso with three iron balls attached tied to it.
Dis Mendeck noticed the behavior of the four opponents and finally managed to calm down.
He knew these four Nen Users belonged to the casino.
Since a conflict is already unavoidable, what he needed to do now was to kill his way out as quickly as possible and always be wary of the Nen User who ambushed him.
With a murderous glint in his eyes, Dis Mendeck took the initiative to face Syneal and Dorn.
'That position... are you trying to intimidate me? Ridiculous.'
From the corner of his eyes, Dis Mendeck quickly glanced at Francis, who was holding the cards but not attacking. He sneered in his heart, and then swung his machete to slash at the oncoming Syneal and Dorn.
Faced with Dis Mendeck's proactive attack, Syneal and Dorn didn't overestimate themselves. They both sidestepped to dodge the diagonal slash from Dis Mendeck.
But what they didn't expect was…
There was actually a crescent-shaped Aura blade that shot out from the diagonally falling blade, bypassing them and heading straight for Francis behind them.
At this moment, Francis saw the Aura blade approaching, and his expression changed slightly.
Just as he barely shifted half a step to the side, Francis was bisected at the waist by the Aura blade, his eyes revealing an incredulous light.
In just one collision, a member of 'Four Corners' fell to the ground and died.
Moses, who was approaching, saw this scene.
"…"
Speechlessly, Moses looked at Francis who was killed instantly with complicated eyes.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to say this guy was too weak or Dis Mendeck's tactical decision-making was too powerful.
