However, they overlooked one thing.
Lan will not lose, but it does not mean that he will come to the live competition…
When the Heavens Arena was packed with spectators.
When the commentator was sweating and trying to find a topic.
When Sadaso was trembling alone on the empty stage.
When every gambler who bet on Lan's win gradually turned pale and even cursed.
When the referee stared at the pocket watch in his hand and the player's corridor, even if the time was exceeded, as long as Lan came, he would still pretend not to see the time point and let the game continue normally.
Click.
The time for the start of the game has exceeded.
According to the rules of the Heavens Arena, contestants who failed to come to the scene will be regarded as giving up and will be judged as losing.
In other words, the winner of this match is Sadaso…
No one, including Sadaso, can accept such a result.
The former trembled and hid in time, fearing that those gamblers and dealers who lost their money would come to him.
In the past, such things as taking anger out on the fighter because of losing too much have happened before.
Similarly, there are contestants who failed to arrive on time and were judged as losers.
There was even a guy who did this recently.
The man's name is Hisoka.
And it's not just him now; Lan will also be the same in the future.
Before the official match with Gon, he had lost three games.
All of them were because he failed to arrive on time and was judged as a loser.
No one expected that Lan would be the second Hisoka.
According to his usual performance, he doesn't look like a man who would do such a thing…
Those who are going to watch this game have such doubts in their hearts.
And the first person to realize that something is wrong is the person in charge of the official casino of the Heavens Arena.
Before this battle began, someone placed a considerable bet that Lan would lose.
Even if it is very dispersed and seems nothing wrong on the surface.
However, losing so much money can be said to be a serious injury to the casino.
Even if someone really doesn't cheat, they will say that you are a premeditated match-fixing!
So, the Heavens Arena sent professional personnel to investigate this matter.
After some Nen users had used their Nen ability to find the cause and effect, the Heavens Arena officials immediately locked in that the instigator of this incident was the protagonist of the game, Lan!!
So, they set up a dragnet at the place where the gamblers receive the money to try to catch the target who came to collect the winning.
However, it seemed that all their actions were seen through or that they had an insider.
Every time they set up a trap, they failed.
What made things even more unacceptable was that not only did they not catch the target, but even the money was all taken away!!
"I just took the money I won."
On the roof of a tall building somewhere, Lan looked at the brightly lit fourth tallest building in the world in the distance.
He took another look at the pile of banknotes in the storage space and still felt particularly comfortable.
"Nine out of ten gamblers lose, and losing everything is worse than a pig."
The strands of thread around returned to the dark red gloves on Lan's hands.
"It can be regarded as a warning to you in advance."
He knew that the Heaven's Arena had set up a net for him, and he got the bonus in bet easily; it was inseparable from the thing in his hand.
It was also the item opened from the blue blind box he got from Machi.
[Get the Uncommon blind box, do you want to open it?]
[Open successfully, get, Teigu: Infinite Uses: Cross Tail (Source world: Akame ga Kill)]
As experts in using threads, besides Machi, the most famous ones are those few.
Donquixote Doflamingo from One Piece, Kejoro from Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Jolyne Cujoh from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Rui from Demon Slayer, and Lubbock from Akame Ga Kill.
The Teigu, Infinite Uses: Cross Tail that Lubbock possessed was opened by Lan from this blind box.
The Teigu can be regarded as a weapon with superpowers.
The ability of Cross Tail is the thread.
The thread is made of the hair of a Super-Class, dragon-like Danger Beast that lived in the Eastern region's mountains, high among the clouds.
Not only is it strong, but it is also extremely sharp.
The strongest one is called Realm-Cutting Thread, which is much tougher than other threads.
It can be use as a trap or a barrier to detect the enemy, and it also has the ability to restrain and cut.
The silk thread can also be woven into weapons and armor for attack and defense.
It can also entangle with his own blood vessels and stop his pulse to pretend to be dead.
It can be said that this Teigu is as versatile as its nickname.
Lan relied on the thread of Cross Tail to detect many traps that were set up for him.
After cleverly avoiding them, he put the money into the storage space and evacuated safely.
"No wonder Machi chose to use thread as Nen's ability."
"It's really good in terms of auxiliary ability."
"In addition to sewing and fighting enemies, it can also be used for detection. I remember that she seems to be able to use the thread for tracking."
"Lubbock has developed it well, but I can also consider developing it in Doflamingo's direction."
"At least I can try Sky's Path to fly, the thread Clone to create clones, and the Parasite String to control others."
"In short, the harvest this time is already very good."
Lan murmured: "It's time to go back but before that…"
Lan put away the thread and looked calmly at a building far behind him. "It seems I have to get rid of a trouble first."
At this time, in the direction Lan was looking at.
"Hmm? Have I been discovered?"
The distance was so far that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to see it.
The man with waist-length hair tilted his head: "Or is he going to show me his cards?"
"When I was searching for his information and spying on him before, he should have discovered me before."
"He has ignored me all this time, maybe because he thinks it's unnecessary, or is he confident?"
"He thinks that even if I get his information, it's useless, right?"
"So he's showing me his cards now. Should it be that the game of hide-and-seek is over, or does he want to talk to me?"
The iconic lifeless eyes blinked: "It just so happens that I also have something to talk to him about…"
Whoosh!
The next second, as if the screen was switched, his figure disappeared out of thin air.
When entering the Heavens Arena, Lan noticed that someone was watching him.
And that person's concealment, investigation, and spying skills are definitely world-class.
Considering that he started to be watched after leaving the Hunter Exam's venue and parting with Hisoka.
And in this world, there are very few people who can do this and have this technology.
Once the two are combined, the result can be easily obtained.
After seeing the person appear in front of him, Lan was more certain of his guess.
"Illumi Zoldyck?"
Seeing another familiar face appear in front of him, Lan looked calm: "Did you accept the assassination mission and want to take my head?"
"No, I don't have any intention of killing you."
