Chapter 313 was found
The underground auction was held in the same place as yesterday.
This time, however, the security was much tighter.
Yesterday it was only the buildings near the guard tower, but this time several streets have been placed under martial law and checkpoints have been set up.
Everyone who wants to participate in the underground auction, even high-ranking gang members, needs to have their identity verified.
The members of the group infiltrated the group in their own ways.
They had only two goals: for the gang leaders to find information about the swordsman, or at the very least, to retrieve his body.
The other one is the Nosra family.
Julia and the others also traveled by car.
They paid a high price to be able to participate in this auction.
The underground auction is open to non-gang members, but they need to pay a hefty price to participate.
After passing through several checkpoints, Julia and her group of five finally arrived at the auction building, where the underground auction had not yet begun.
The event will officially begin at 8 p.m.
Outside the building, you can see many gangsters carrying guns and weapons.
Entry into the building also requires qualification verification.
Soon, gangsters came knocking on their door.
"I am Craig Borg. May I ask where Miss Julia is from?"
Julia knew about the Borg family; they were a mafia family under the command of one of the Ten Elders, and their power was not weak.
We also had some contact in another world.
Of course, Julia did not recognize the person in front of her.
As for the gangsters who came looking for them, it wasn't because they were worried that the Phantom Troupe was in disguise, but because they wanted to find out what was going on.
Yesterday, some guests who weren't from the mafia died, and all the guests who were supposed to attend the underground auction today have cancelled their participation.
This underground auction is now basically attended by various gangs.
To attend an auction under such circumstances suggests either an important objective or confidence in one's own capabilities.
Of course, there's another reason.
Julia directly spent a whopping 200 million jin to buy the right to participate in this underground auction.
To be sure, the number of people eligible for this qualification was determined well in advance.
If someone can come up with 200 million to participate, then the auction will definitely auction some valuable items.
He was a big customer.
Craig Berger is here to probe the bottom.
"I come from the Conrad family, a small, unknown family," Julia replied with a smile.
The Conrad family? Craig Berg thought hard, but couldn't recall them at all.
Of course, it's also possible that the other party wasn't telling the truth.
"Please follow me, everyone." Craig Borg led Julia and the others to the location of the auction.
This auction was held on the fifth floor, which isn't a high floor, so they could respond quickly if anything happened.
The entire building was also home to many gangsters.
There are also many more surveillance cameras now.
"Miss Julia, aren't you afraid of running into the Phantom Troupe at the auction?" Craigie was still gathering information.
"Even the Phantom Troupe wouldn't find it easy to break into such security facilities, would they?" Julia complimented with a smile.
Just as Craig was about to answer confidently, he heard Julia say the next thing.
"However, when I came here, I thought the area would be illuminated with lights, or there would be armed helicopters patrolling."
This is actually quite a blunt criticism.
The implication is that there are actually many loopholes in this security work.
Light up the surrounding area to reduce the amount of darkness and also prevent yesterday's hot air balloon intrusion from working.
As for armed helicopters, not everyone in the Phantom Brigade is wealthy enough to withstand modern weapons head-on, especially without long-range or flight capabilities.
The attack helicopters completely overwhelmed them.
"Miss Julia, your suggestion is excellent."
At this stage, the gangs have not demonstrated the strength to unite gangs from all over the world, and the Ten Elders have not shown the power they should have.
Of course, it's also possible that they underestimated the Phantom Troupe.
"After all, the Phantom Troupe are Nen users. Who knows if there are any disguised individuals among them? Maybe they've already infiltrated this building."
Julia was saying terrible things.
Seeing Craigie's nervous expression.
"I was just joking; it's only a possibility."
Before long, they arrived at the auction venue, where the participants of the underground auction were moving around and exchanging information.
They all looked a little nervous.
After all, what happened yesterday, who knows if it will happen again today.
As a gang, they couldn't possibly refuse to attend in order to save face for the Ten Elders.
"Julia, I'll be leaving now." Craigie immediately took his leave.
He needed to report some things to his superiors, and of course, he also needed to ask for Lord Yin Beast's opinion.
The Owl, one of the Yin Beasts, was not in the building. He was with the Ten Elders. The other Yin Beasts were there to guard the building.
But in another place.
Kurapika was reporting to Light Nosla at that moment.
He revealed information about the Phantom Troupe's ability to steal.
Actually, if he wanted to climb the ranks, he could have kept quiet, and even if Nosra's two men got into trouble, it wouldn't matter. But Kurapika isn't that kind of person.
That's why I'm saying it.
It was also hoped that Wright Nosla could stop Neon from attending the auction.
They didn't participate yesterday because Neon was throwing a tantrum, and today is also very dangerous; the tour group might even be targeting them.
Neon's abilities, or the fact that they captured Phantom Troupe members yesterday and handed them over to the Ten Elders.
"I witnessed their strength yesterday, and the difference was enormous. I'm afraid that apart from Kurapika, even I wouldn't be able to fight them. Besides, they weren't the entire Spider force yesterday."
Dazo Nie also informed him of the situation, as he had witnessed the power of Nen yesterday.
With Dazoni's help to persuade him, Light Nosla naturally wouldn't let Neon participate in the auction.
We'll have to wait until the spider problem is resolved, at least until then.
Kurapika accompanied Light Nosra to the auction.
Others protected Nyon.
Kurapika also emphasized to Melody that her ability is not a circle and cannot be detected by others. As long as one is vigilant enough, one can detect danger before the other party arrives.
Light Nosla and Kurapika drove away from the location of the underground auction.
Kuroro watched Light Nosla leave from a distance.
Their residence was eventually found; there was no way to hide Wright North's presence at Yorktown.
By following them, we can naturally find out where Neon is.
