Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 177 "Where Most of the Red Eyes Go"

Kurapika was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at Shira: "No... the number is wrong... there are still many "Red Eyes" that have not been found."

There are 128 people in his tribe, and the list given by Sheila only contains 35 pairs. Including the pair that he and teacher German had snatched from the Nosra family before, there are only 36 pairs.

Even if there is a possibility that they were damaged or lost during the process, the number should not be so different.

"Yeah." Shira's response confirmed Kurapika's thoughts.

"That's because most of the "Fire Red Eyes" were sent to the "Aiyi Family" by them, and then passed on to the fourth prince of the Kajin Empire, Chelidonich, through the "Aiyi Family."

"Aiyi Family"... one of the three major gangs in Kakin, known for its madness.

"Celidonish"... the fourth prince of the Kakin Empire, has a very good reputation and is said to be a genius with great artistic qualities.

Kurapika pursed his lips tightly when he heard the slightly unfamiliar name "Celidonich".

Shira observed Kurapika's expression without stopping talking.

"The fourth prince, Celidonish, is the current protector of the Aiyi Family, and the Aiyi Family is also involved in the cooperation with Meteor Street, which means that they have appeared in Meteor Street."

"Although Celidonish was about the same age as Chrollo when Sarasa was murdered, from what Paknoda and the others know, this fourth prince had a very cruel habit since he was a child."

"It started with small animals, then moved on to children of the same age, then to the elderly, and now to younger women."

"And the Aiyi Family almost perfectly fits his personality. The members are all the same kind of villains who like bloody killings. They are notorious in the Kajin Empire and even in the six continents."

"Based on their practices, it is very likely that they did a 'private selection' on Meteor Street back then."

"According to Paknoda, there is intelligence that proves that Chelidonish was already a so-called 'body artist' several years ago. He really likes to skin people, especially beautiful women."

"And for Chelidonich to become a so-called 'body artist', he must have gone through a constant...learning process. This process requires many people, especially women."

"At the same time, Chelidonish had a very good reputation among the people of the Kajin Empire. His classmates all agreed that he was a good man, a smart man, and a trustworthy leader."

"This means that his 'body art' has always been done in private and has not been exposed to the public. The Fourth Prince's private soldiers and the 'Aiyi Family' sent women to him and handled the follow-up."

"It is very likely that the Fourth Prince's attitude has spread among the private soldiers and the Aiyi Family, and has spread from top to bottom."

"Or maybe the private soldiers and the Aiyi Family influenced the Fourth Prince, causing him to develop that terrible hobby since childhood. Which one it is, Paknoda and the others don't know."

"Of course, it's unlikely that the Fourth Prince himself murdered Sarasa. He wouldn't fly from the Kakin Empire to Meteor Street just for something like this."

"Paknoda and the others once thought that the murderer of Sarasa might be among the private soldiers of the fourth prince and the "Aiyi Family". But in the end, there was still no clue."

"Paknoda also said that the only good thing is that, whether it is Chelidonich's subordinates or other enthusiasts in this field, they all paid attention to the website they built because of "Red Eyes" and gradually became active on the website."

"They believe that sooner or later they will be able to catch the scum who can't help but want to share the video of how to torture and kill Sarasa."

When Shira said this, she looked at Kurapika again, gritted her teeth, and then said the words that would most likely irritate Kurapika.

"There is one more thing... If I am not mistaken, the head that is suspected to be that of Pyro was also indirectly delivered to Celidonich by the Phantom Troupe."

"The reason for doing this is that Piro's eye disease is very serious. If they dig it out directly, the "flaming red eye" may fade...so they came up with this method."

When Kurapika heard "Pyro's head", he thought he would stand up in anger, but he was surprised to find that he was so calm and just sat there.

He even felt his body relaxing, as if something he had anticipated was finally unfolding before his eyes.

"Celidonish"... He repeated the name again.

Then, Kurapika turned to look at teacher Germain. Germain knew what his student was thinking from his seemingly calm eyes.

"You want to take 'them' back from the Fourth Prince, Celidonich?" Germain and Kurapika looked at each other, "Even if it means we will become enemies with the entire Kakin Empire?"

"I..." Kurapika's expression gradually became cold, "If you ask me to wait, I will wait until the time and conditions are right."

Germain thought about it and said to Bisiji beside him: "In this case, it is impossible to cooperate with Biyangde. After all, he relies on the funding of the Kajin Empire."

"It doesn't matter. I don't like or trust that person, even if he is the son of President Netero."

Biscuit stood next to German, her hands on her hips, speaking with disdain. She then turned to Kurapika with a look of pity on her face.

"I already know your life story from Germain. Now that we have met, if we are sure, we will help you take back the eyes of your people."

Xiaodi and Sheila seemed to have heard some incredible information and looked surprised.

Kurapika showed a complicated and grateful expression in response to Siji's words.

But he still stared at Teacher German and listened to the judgment that Teacher German was about to make. In his mind, Teacher German's decision occupied a very important part.

He didn't lie, if Mr. German asked him to be patient, he would continue to be patient, because Mr. German had never let him down, and the current tragic situation of the Phantom Troupe proved everything.

German's expression remained calm as usual, and his tone seemed as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

"Then let's give it a try and see if the timing and conditions are right."

Kurapika relaxed his frown with some relief.

Xiaodi blinked.

Biscuit smiled.

"If that's the case, then we'll have to stay in the Kajin Empire for a while. I'll explain the situation to Sambika, Menqi, Buhala and others so they don't have to worry."

Sheila felt a chill down her spine as she realized that she was about to be caught in a storm. She wanted to escape from the storm, just like she had done countless times before.

However, after seeing the slightly sad expression on Kurapika's face, Shira couldn't help but think of herself.

I must have had the same expression when I saw Sarasa in the package that day, right?

Think about Sarasa, think about Pairo, and then think about the mental journey that Kurapika and I have gone through over the years. Aren’t they very similar?

While Biscuit was busy dialing the phone and no one was planning to ask Sheila for help, Sheila stood up on her own initiative with an expression like a martyr, but her trembling legs gave away everything.

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

"I..." Shira swallowed and looked at Kurapika, "At least, let me do something within my ability... I also know a piece of information."

Everyone looked at her.

Sheila finally stopped being timid.

"The princes of the Kajin Empire often hold social balls and invite celebrities to attend. The fourth prince, Chelidonish, is no exception."

"He has a dance in early September, and many people know about it."
