Gourmet Hunter (HxH Fanfic)

'Chaos?'

Such a sudden sentence successfully diverted the topic and everyone's attention.

"What do you mean?" The first person to ask the question was Feitan.

"Exactly what it sounds like." Law replied indifferently.

Feitan immediately looked displeased, while the others looked confused.

"Does this have to do with the Elder?" Chrollo asked calmly.

Law raised his eyebrows, then nodded and said, "Yes, tomorrow is the day he dies."

There was no concealment… Law just spoke it out in front of everyone.

Tomorrow is the day the Elder dies. This is Law's decision. After returning this time, Vogt and the Elder are on his list of those to be killed.

This declaration made those familiar with Law realize how much he had changed since leaving.

"What's your plan?" Chrollo's tone remained indifferent, though they were discussing the fate of a stranger rather than a significant figure in Meteor City.

Law wanted to know the attitude of the Troupe, so he replied: "Go directly to the Elder's house tomorrow morning, finish the job, and leave."

The answer was concise and powerful, without any planning at all.

Chrollo fell silent after hearing this. The Elder's Nen Ability had been one of the targets he wanted to steal. If Law wanted to kill the Elder, that opportunity would vanish.

Feitan and Franklin didn't know much about Law, so when they heard Law's arrogant remarks, they furrowed their brows.

Meteor City had four districts, each overseen by an Elder. While these Elders were not adversarial toward one another, they were united in defending against external threats.

In other words, although the person Law wanted to target was only one of the Elders, the result would be revenge from the entire Meteor City, and the worst result would be trapped in the city with no way out.

"Count me in." Uvogin raised his hand and said casually.

Nobunaga raised his thumb and pressed it against the hilt, pushing the sword out a little, making a slight unsheathing sound. Then, he said in a deep voice: "Count me in too."

After Uvojin and Nobunaga expressed their opinions, Machi did not lag behind for too long and said calmly, "Me as well."

Law slowly stood up, took a few steps, then turned around to look at Machi and the other two. A smile appeared on his face, but the next second, he froze because of Machi's next words.

"We'll help you take down the Elder, but only if you join the Troupe." Machi said as she stared at Law, as if determined to seize any opportunity to make Law join the Troupe.

Law chuckled bitterly when he heard this. He had not planned to ask Machi and the others for help, so naturally, he would not agree. After all, Meteor City was their hometown, so if they accompanied him to kill the Elder, they would basically become enemies with Meteor City.

No matter how strong or weak their sense of belonging, hometown is still hometown and is irreplaceable.

Hearing Machi's condition, Uvogin and Nobunaga looked at each other and showed an expression of understanding.

"Are you serious?" This was the first sentence Pakunoda said after entering the house.

"Of course." Uvogin replied casually: "Isn't this something we already decided before?"

"But Law is not dead." Pakunoda was not worried about herself, but was worried that the consequences of this incident would affect everyone in the Troupe. After she got the information that Law was not dead, she had opposed the idea.

The reason why the Troupe didn't leave Meteor City immediately was precisely because they had a disagreement on how to deal with the Elder.

"This matter has nothing to do with me, so I won't participate." Feitan suddenly declared.

As soon as he finished speaking, Franklin responded, "Like Feitan, I will not participate."

Both Feitan and Franklin were among those who opposed the plan. After all, they had no grudges against the Elder, and they were from Meteor City, so it was an unreasonable request to kill the Elder for a stranger.

Law didn't say anything, and just looked at the members of the Troupe.

Six people had expressed their opinions, three wanted to help him, three opposed. The only one left was Chrollo.

Law didn't need anyone's assistance, nor would he allow Machi and the others to help. But understanding their stance on the matter was important to him.

With that thought, he turned his gaze to Chrollo.

Noticing Law's gaze, Chrollo asked calmly, "Do you need my help?"

There was no definitive statement, just a question. It felt as if Chrollo was suggesting that, should Law say he needed help, he would provide it.

But at the same time, it gave the impression that he already knew Law wouldn't ask for help.

Seeing Chrollo's neutral stance, Law smiled slightly and replied, "I appreciate the offer, but this is my business. I don't need you to intervene. tomorrow, there may be many deaths in Meteor City. Do you have any objections?"

Law's only goal is to snatch Shin and kill the Elder, but the Elder's men will definitely attack him, and in the counterattack, there will inevitably be casualties.

Law, having undergone a transformation, now viewed life differently.

Uvogin, Nobunaga, and Machi were briefly stunned. Meanwhile, Feitan's eyes sharpened as he stared at Law with a piercing gaze again.

"Aren't you afraid I'll go and snitch?"

"Oh? Would you?" Law looked at Feitan and asked seriously.

Feitan curled his lips and said coldly: "Who knows?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. You'll have to take a nap until it's over." Law said with a smile.

"You're welcome to try." Feitan also smiled, his eyebrows curved, with a sinister look in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the room shifted with their exchange.

"Sanbica, there's no need." Law suddenly said, confusing the others.

Sanbica paused, lowered her slightly raised hand, and asked in confusion: "But he said he wanted to try."

Law said, "I know, but I have my own way."

"Oh." Sanbica nodded and stopped speaking.

The cryptic exchange between the two attracted the attention of everyone present. Afterwards, their faces changed slightly, as they all felt Law's Aura erupt.

At this time, Law released the Aura in his body to the maximum extent. In the blink of an eye, a sense of oppression that was as solid as a substance was formed, and it pressed heavily towards Feitan, who was not far away.

Feeling the fluctuation of Law's Aura, Feitan stood up suddenly like a stimulated little beast. He leaped back to create some distance, and then looked at Law with a serious expression.

At the same time, he also used his Ren, and the Aura in his body gushed out and covered his body, but compared with Law's Ren, there was still a clear gap.

'He's strong. Since I didn't bring my sword with me, fighting him now would put me at a disadvantage.' Feitan thought as his pointed eyes revealed a hint of coldness. His earlier startled reaction was pure reflex, the result of his body moving faster than his consciousness.

The confrontation between the two immediately created a palpable tension in the room, dividing the group into two opposing sides.

"Feitan won't snitch."

At this moment, Chrollo's calm voice broke the silence, his certainty cutting through the tension like sunlight melting frost.

Since the crux of the conflict was whether Feitan would snitch and Chrollo had resolved that, there was no reason to continue the standoff.

"Tsk." Feitan was the first to restrain his Aura. Chrollo's words had been aimed at him, and while he wouldn't have snitched, his earlier attitude had been more about irritation at Law's arrogance than any genuine intent to betray.

Seeing Feitan withdrew his Aura, Law also pulled back his Aura and said with a smile: "Actually, whether he snitches or not doesn't really matter to me. If I were worried about that, I wouldn't have told you all about this in the first place."

Feitan's brow furrowed when he heard that. After all, Law's words made him look like a clown.

"Feitan, you wouldn't snitch, would you?" Uvogin asked.

Feitan was too lazy to answer. As soon as Chrollo opened his mouth, he immediately stopped using Ren, which made his stance clear.

Although Nobunaga and Machi didn't say anything, if Feitan wanted snitch, this matter would not be over.

Pakunoda just sighed softly, while Franklin had a blank expression on his face. His impression of Law didn't change from this.

"Okay, wait a moment, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall will be ready soon. It's not a delicacy that you can eat whenever you want." Law clapped his hands, ending this insignificant episode.

As soon as Law finished speaking, Feitan scoffed and muttered "Not interested", before walking toward the door.

The others watched him leave in silence. No one called him back, nor did anyone question whether he'd snitch again.
