The arrival of Franklin and Ryles prompted the casino to split into two battlegrounds.
Faced with Franklin's unreasonable and powerful firepower, even though the casino's security team was well-equipped and well-trained, they were utterly powerless to resist.
With a companion to draw the firepower, Ryles moved unhindered, casually searching the casino for Koko's whereabouts.
The sudden eruption of chaos in the casino made Koko, who happened to come here to inspect, look gloomy.
In a short period of time, she thought of many potential competitors, but felt that none of them were foolish enough to attack the casino so brazenly.
"Koko, let's get out of here first."
Fiona said with a grave expression, suggesting they depart with a stern tone.
Compared with the gunshots that never stopped, she was more concerned about the formidable presence she felt from the outset.
There is no doubt that the unidentified Nen User who are attacking the casino must be experts.
In this situation, as a bodyguard, it was Fiona's duty to immediately advise Koko to stay away from any place where there may be risks.
Koko nodded slowly with a sullen face.
Although she was angry because the casino was attacked, she wouldn't let her emotions cloud her judgment, and she knew what needed to be done.
Upon seeing this, Fiona escorted Koko to another passage that could avoid the two battlegrounds.
In the casino's surveillance room.
The person in charge of the casino, who was overseeing the operation, noticed his lady boss's movements, and immediately mobilized part of his troops to escort Koko without hesitation.
The security personnel in the casino, who received the instructions from the person in charge, immediately turned around and quickly moved towards Koko's location.
But this sudden change in direction of the security personnel caught Ryles's attention.
"Oh?"
A glint flashed in Ryles's eyes.
Under the 'enthusiastic' guidance of this group of security personnel, he easily located his target.
'I finally found you.'
Ryles's gaze fell upon Koko's graceful figure.
In an instant, the desires he had suppressed for a long time surged unchecked through his Aura.
Some people like jewelry and gold, some like fighting and killing, some like books and antiques, and he likes women.
At this moment, Koko and Fiona suddenly felt a chill, as if their souls were about to freeze.
Stimulated by this, they turned abruptly and saw a man exuding Nen staring at them excitedly.
"Koko, let's go."
Fiona tensed up her nerves in an instant and stared at Ryles, who was emanating powerful Aura, with all her attention.
Koko's face turned slightly pale and she quickly nodded at Fiona, then they decisively ran towards another passage far from the gambling hall.
The overwhelming malicious Aura just now made her feel chills, and she understood that the man in front of her was a ferocious beast who wanted to devour her whole.
'Escape, I must run away quickly!'
Koko, who usually advocated a strong attitude, didn't have the slightest thought of confronting Ryles at this moment. She just wanted to get as far away from the unidentified man who made her feel terrified as possible.
"Tonight's gonna be a good night."
Seeing Koko running away in panic, Ryles grinned broadly.
With dense Nen surrounding him, he strode past the security personnel who were 'guiding' him.
As a reward, Ryles instantly killed this group of security personnel, ensuring their death is painless.
Then, ignoring Fiona's presence, Ryles stepped forward to chase after Koko.
Fiona's expression was solemn as she blocked Ryles' path, while simultaneously punching towards Ryles' body.
Bang!
Facing Fiona's attack, Ryles hurriedly blocked it with his arm and was instantly blasted away by the powerful punch.
"Tsk…"
The swelling pain coming from his arm made Ryles understand something as he flew in the air.
However-
'The capture was successful.'
Adjusting his posture, Ryles landed steadily and looked at Koko ahead with fervent eyes.
It was at this moment.
Koko suddenly froze in place with her upper body leaning forward in a running posture.
'I can't move...!'
'No, more accurately, I can't move from the knees down.'
Koko barely managed to keep calm and quickly looked down at her feet.
There was nothing there, but she could clearly feel a strong binding force.
Fiona quickly noticed Koko's situation.
'He used In on his Hatsu to control Koko during the gap between resisting my attack. I didn't even notice...'
Fiona's heart sank as she guessed the reason.
'This Nen User coming for Koko is obviously difficult to deal with.'
…
On the other side.
Moses smashed Dis Mendeck's head into the ground with one hand.
This blow officially declared that Dis Mendeck had completely lost his fighting ability and became nothing more than a fish on the chopping block.
What to do with Dis Mendeck next is entirely up to Moses.
Dis Mendeck lay on the ground like a pile of mud, half of his head embedded in the floor, as intense pain eroded his consciousness.
The shadow of death enveloped his body and mind like the pressure of deep-sea water.
For unknown reason—
The image of a blue pickup truck suddenly flashed in Dis Mendeck's mind.
Memories buried deep began to resurface through the murky depths, slowly floating up to Dis Mendeck's consciousness.
He remembered.
Several months ago, while passing through an empty road, a blue pickup truck had stopped to ask if he needed help.
At that time, he had been walking alone on the deserted road for over an hour, feeling troubled by the lack of company.
And the enthusiastic inquiry from the driver of the blue pickup truck was like bringing him a pillow when he was dozing off.
So he gladly accepted the help of the driver of the blue pickup truck and used his machete to chop the driver into more than ten pieces, satisfying the emerging desires in his heart.
Some fragmented memories became clearer.
Dis Mendeck finally fully recalled this memory that he had never cared about before.
"That... that man driving the blue pickup truck... cough…"
Since Moses did not continue to attack, Dis Mendeck rolled over with difficulty, and looked up at Moses, asking weakly between coughs:
"That... that bearded man... what... what is your relationship... with him...?"
"Meet by chance."
Moses looked at Dis Mendeck with no emotion in his eyes.
"Me… meet by chance… cough, cough, cough…"
As if he heard something unbelievable, Dis Mendeck's slowly opening, followed by violent coughs, and a trickle of blood mixed with small pieces of flesh flowed freely from his lips.
"S-So... you... targeted me... to... to avenge... that bearded man...?"
"Yeah."
Moses gathered his Nen on his palm, then slowly lifted Dis Mendeck, who had a look of disbelief on his face.
Dis Mendeck's eyes widened and he asked with difficulty: "Since you just met him by chance, why..."
At this time, Sira and Wright, who was watching from the sidelines, walked over.
"Moses."
Wright called Moses's name.
Seeing that Wright seemed to know Moses, Sira relaxed slightly.
Moses did not respond to Wright, but stared at Dis Mendeck intently, answering the question he just asked.
"Because that uncle gave me a ride that day."
"…"
Dis Mendeck was stunned. He never dreamed that the young man in front of him, with such strange and terrifying power, would be motivated by such a ridiculous reason...
He opened his mouth slightly, and his expression suddenly became ferocious and crazy.
Moses lowered his eyelids, suddenly reaching out to dislocate Dis Mendeck's jaw, then tossed Dis Mendeck to the ground like throwing away garbage.
The shadow clone came over at this moment, raised his foot and broke Dis Mendeck's phalange, followed by the second and third...
Moses just watched all of this quietly.
Perhaps, this is just a seemingly insignificant thing, but it allowed him to remove a stone from his heart.
'Do what you think is right.'
'That's all.'
Moses's thoughts were clear.
Wright glanced at Dis Mendeck, who was undergoing inhuman torture, and then looked at Moses's side profile, wanting to speak but hesitating.
