Hearing Moses's voice coming from behind him, Kastro was shocked. He was unable to answer Moses's question immediately, and stood there blankly.
'When did he...'
'There was clearly no change in my field of vision, and even if his speed was so fast that my eyes couldn't keep up with it, he would definitely disturb the airflow as he moved.'
'But I didn't feel anything at all just now!'
'So how did he appear behind me?!'
A tremendous wave of shock surged in Kastro's heart.
Through the match just now, he had indeed witnessed Moses's terrifying speed that seemed ghostly, but his common sense told him that any form of high-speed movement would inevitably leave traces.
For example, the dust stirred up during movement, or the turbulence created when slicing through the air...
However, at this moment, Kastro's understanding was overturned.
Moses looked at the man in front of him, who was standing silently with his back to him, with a slightly strange look in his eyes.
He had already recognized this man's identity—it was none other than Kastro, who was brutally killed by Hisoka early in the original work.
As for why he could recognize him so easily…
Any profound negative example always leaves a deep impression.
Moreover, Kastro is one of the best among them. In the early plot, he was picked out by the author and was made into a classic textbook.
Interestingly, after Moses recognized Kastro's identity, he suddenly thought of the plot in the original work where Killua went to the lounge to find Kastro.
At that time, Killua was just as surprised as he is now by Kastro's seemingly teleporting ability.
In retrospect, this can be considered a rather intriguing 'cycle'.
Although Kastro never responded to the question, Moses did not take any further action.
He could see that Kastro, who knew nothing about Nen, was shocked by his teleportation ability just now, so he waited patiently for Kastro to calm down.
After about two or three seconds…
Kastro finally came back to his senses.
"I'm sorry, I... didn't mean to offend you."
Kastro didn't dare to turn around directly and instead expressed his apology first.
Although he had no ill intentions in following Moses, the situation just now still made him look like a stalker.
And it was indeed true.
Moses usually had a habit of projecting a shadow to roam around, so he immediately noticed that Kastro was coming for him.
If it wasn't because Kastro had no Nen and no obvious malice, Moses wouldn't have simply spoken up just now. Instead, he would have taken more forceful measures to contain Kastro first.
"What can I do for you?"
Moses looked at the back of Kastro's head and asked again.
Kastro took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said, "Mr. Illumi, before answering your question, can I turn around first?"
"Go ahead."
Moses looked calm.
Upon hearing this, Kastro slowly turned around and saw Moses standing in front of him with a calm face.
Although he has consciously tried to control his emotions, he still couldn't completely stay calm at this moment.
"Mr. Illumi, I apologize again, I..."
"Just tell me what you want."
Moses interrupted Kastro's pointless pleasantries very calmly.
Of course, he could see that Kastro was not just being polite, but was expressing his apology from the bottom of his heart.
Moses just didn't want to waste time, so he stopped him.
Kastro was slightly stunned, but soon realized that Moses was the type who preferred to get straight to the point, so he immediately and decisively stated his purpose, "Mr. Illumi, may I ask you a question?"
"…"
Moses raised his eyebrows and instantly guessed what Kastro wanted to ask, 'It was probably a question related to Nen.'
However, he didn't immediately answer Kastro. Instead, he lowered his eyelids slightly and began to think.
By establishing a certain relationship with popular characters in the original work, he can also get rewards from Perception.
The question that Moses was thinking about at this moment was, does Kastro meet the criteria of being a popular character?
Seeing Moses deep in thought after hearing his request, Kastro held his breath.
In fact, he didn't understand why Moses was thinking deeply about it. After all, he hadn't even asked the question that mattered the most.
That question is-
A door, faintly visible in the mist, exuding a captivating aura.
Kastro was eager to see the true nature of that door, which was why he had recklessly come to find Moses right after the match.
Fortunately, from this brief interaction, he can see that Moses wasn't the unapproachable type.
After a moment, Moses made a decision.
Although he might not be able to gain anything from Kastro, but considering Kastro's outstanding qualifications, Moses felt that he is worth the attempt.
Moreover, Moses also thought of an interesting development.
If he could 'influence' Kastro's future now, could Kastro possibly beat Hisoka in the future?
When Moses thought of this possibility, he felt an inexplicable sense of joy.
"Go ahead."
Moses collected his thoughts and looked calmly at Kastro in front of him.
Kastro felt it might be appropriate to introduce himself before asking his question, but he worried it might annoy Moses, so he directly asked, "On the arena, you..."
"Master!"
At this moment, Menchi's voice came from not far away, directly interrupting Kastro words.
Kastro was stunned and turned to look at Menchi, who was running towards them.
'Master?'
Kastro seemed to have received some hint and his mind suddenly became active.
Menchi also saw Kastro, but she didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, she trotted straight to Moses, her eyes shining, unable to hide her excitement.
The match just now had taught her a lot.
Although she had vaguely guessed her master's intention of using a sheath before the match began, she hadn't expected it to be such a decisive blow.
Moses smiled at Menchi, then looked at Kastro. He showed no intention of letting him continue, and instead asked, "How long have you been at Heavens Arena?"
"Huh? A week!"
Kastro replied quickly.
Moses skipped the question of whether he had registered and instead asked, "Which floor are you on?"
"The ninetieth floor..."
Kastro's voice became obviously much weaker.
Hearing this, Moses thought for a moment and then calmly said, "Reach the two-hundredth floor within a week and then come find me."
After saying this, without waiting for Kastro to react, Moses walked past him and motioned Mecnhi to follow.
Mecnhi looked at Kastro with some surprise, and then quickly caught up with Moses.
"Master, who is that?"
It wasn't until they reached the elevator that Menchi asked curiously.
Moses smiled and said, "For now, he's still an ordinary person who is attracted by Nen."
"Hmm? Is he not trying to become your disciple?"
Menchi immediately thought of this possibility and her eyes changed slightly.
"Chef, what's for dinner today?"
Moses glanced at Menchi and chose to change the topic by asking about today's menu.
When food was mentioned, Menchi immediately puts the matter behind her, enthusiastically listed a series of dishes, and explains the ingredients and cooking methods of each dish in detail without getting tired of it.
Moses listened to Menchi's enthusiastic description, occasionally chiming in or nodding with a smile.
The two of them walked all the way back to the hotel.
Then, Menchi went straight to the kitchen to start preparing the high-grade ingredients ordered from the Linne Food Market.
Meanwhile, Moses sat in front of the computer provided by the hotel, opened the website dedicated to Pro Hunters, and browsed the information of some well-known wanted criminals.
How to quickly build up a reputation.
Compared to fighting in the Heavens Arena, Moses preferred to elevate his Hunter status to Triple Star Hunter.
And as a Blacklist Hunter, if he wanted to advance in rank, he naturally has to capture wanted criminals!
