Hunter x Hunter: My Nen Beast is Strong

Chapter 72 The Gang's Arrangements

Ailiji was still somewhat surprised. He originally thought he was a minor celebrity in the gang, after all, he had directly killed the direct leader of the Ten Elders.

These direct-line gang leaders should have all heard of him, so it's surprising that some of them don't recognize him.

The most ridiculous thing is that Eric actually knows this guy named Bean.

That's the guy Hisoka lit a cigarette himself, and then Machi from the Phantom Troupe hanged him.

"You really don't recognize me, or is this a test from some of the Ten Elders?" Eligi asked again.

Bean frowned. He really didn't know Eligi, but judging from the other person's tone, he seemed to be someone important.

However, when Bean saw Eligi's youthful face, he finally laughed. What kind of reputation could a young man make?

"So tell me, what's your background?" Bean asked curiously.

Seeing that the other party really didn't recognize him, Ailiji felt a little embarrassed, but still said, "I was put on a bounty of two hundred million jin by the Ten Elders."

The Ten Elders initially offered a bounty of 200 million Jenny to each of Eligi's people, which was much less than the 1 billion bounty they later offered to the Phantom Troupe.

Upon hearing this, Bean's attitude immediately changed, and he said, "To have a bounty of two hundred million, and to survive and even surrender, it seems you are indeed not simple characters."

"But you all need to understand one thing: once you're here, you must follow my instructions, understand?"

As he spoke, Bean's expression became more serious, and his aura became more imposing.

Of course, Bean was just an ordinary person, but he had been in a high position for a long time, so he developed a certain aura.

"Alright, I'll do whatever you say," Eligi said, waving his hand.

Seeing that Eligi didn't seem to care, Bean frowned, but in the end he held back from scolding her and simply instructed, "Then you guys familiarize yourselves with the building environment first, and then stay obediently in the monitoring room."

After saying that, Bean turned around and got up, without speaking to Eligi again.

After hearing this, Eligi led Hinata, Sasuke, and the others to familiarize themselves with the building.

The building has a main entrance at the front and back, and a side entrance on the side. The lobby on the first floor is a two-story openwork structure, more than ten meters high.

The building has more than 50 floors, with five floors underground. The underground floor is the auction venue for September 1st, and all the collections are stored in the underground warehouse.

Even if you use a bomb to blow up the warehouse, it would be very difficult to break it open.

There are surveillance cameras from the first floor to the fiftieth floor, and twenty or thirty people take turns checking the cameras every day.

The monitoring on the ground floor is separate from that on the upper floors, so there are two monitoring rooms in the building.

Seeing so many cameras in the monitoring room would probably make an ordinary person dizzy.

That's why it takes more than a dozen people to check different areas separately.

Eligi was assigned to the monitoring room on floors one through fifty. Bean didn't assign any work, just told Eligi and her group to stay in the monitoring room and not cause trouble.

It's a very easy job!

After looking around at the facilities, Ailiji couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This gang had really organized its business quite professionally, which was a fundamental difference from the low-level thugs who were fighting and killing.

For the next few days, Eric worked normally in the gangster building during the day, wearing a suit and tie, and rested at night in accommodations arranged by the gang.

A leisurely job always breeds envy. Seeing Eligi and his group doing nothing every day, Leo, one of Bean's men, wanted to cause trouble for Eligi.

Seeing that Eligi was preparing to leave for dinner as usual, Leo blocked their way and said, "Hey, you guys stay here to watch the surveillance footage today, we're going to eat first."

"Isn't this working overtime? Is there overtime pay?" Eligi blurted out unconsciously.

This made Leo burst into laughter, then he asked with a puzzled look, "Do you know what you're saying?"

Ailigie also came to his senses at this time. It seems that gangsters are gangsters. Their underlying logic is still the same: the survival of the fittest.

Eliji naturally ignored this provocative behavior and walked past it.

But Leo was there to cause trouble, so how could he let the other person leave so easily? He turned around, grabbed Eligi by the collar, and said fiercely, "Hey, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"

Ailiji was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to actually take action. Sure enough, gangsters usually prefer a more direct approach.

However, Eligi also liked this direct approach, so he pried Leo's fingers open and then punched him in the cheek.

This completely stunned Leo; he never expected that Eligi would dare to make a move so directly.

"Damn it, get him!" Despite blood streaming from his mouth and nose, Leo showed no fear and charged forward with his men.

A group of ordinary people who knew a little bit of martial arts rushed up; you can imagine what the final result would be.

In less than two seconds, more than a dozen people following Leo were knocked to the ground.

These people were lucky; at the crucial moment, Eligi didn't want to escalate the situation, so he prevented Hinata and Sasuke's group from using excessive force.

Otherwise, this group of people would be completely useless.

Leo hadn't expected Eligi and his group to be so formidable, and could only threaten them verbally, "What do you want?"

"What are you trying to do, stirring up trouble for no reason?" Eligi asked, feeling a bit strange.

"What happened?" Bean asked as he walked over. He looked grim when he saw a group of people lying on the ground, since Leo was one of his men.

Eric smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, we were just having a friendly sparring match, right, Leo?"

As he spoke, Eligi gently patted Leo on the shoulder.

Leo, of course, was not going to let Eligi off so easily, and immediately complained, "It was this group of people who wanted to leave early. I just tried to stop them, and they immediately attacked."

"Alright, I know what happened. Eldridge, bring your men over here!" Bean said sternly.

Seeing this, Eligi didn't explain anything, but instead led Hinata and the others to follow behind Bean, wanting to see what the other party was planning to do.

Bean led Eligi and his group to a spacious conference hall. After Eligi and his group were seated, he said, "The auction is in two days. I don't want any accidents to happen, so you'll all have a few days off and come back after the auction."

Judging from Bean's words, Eligi was an unstable factor that could potentially affect the auction.

It seems that Bean has been investigating Eligi's background recently, which is why he made such a statement.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been fired long ago.

"Then how about paid leave?" Eligi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Your understanding is fine, but you can't leave the city. You can only move around in the city and be on standby at any time," Bean added.

"So that means taking half a vacation? That's a strange vacation arrangement. Did the Ten Elders agree to it?" Eligi showed great dedication and love for his work.

"I'll explain when I get back, you don't need to worry," Bean said.

Seeing that Bean had said so, Eligi nodded in agreement.

Seeing Elligie and her group leave, Bean breathed a sigh of relief: "I really don't understand what the higher-ups want with such troublesome guys in the building."

Just then, Leo limped in from outside, bowed his head and called out to Bean, "Boss!"

"Good job, you should go and get some rest," Bean said encouragingly.

It turns out that Leo suspected that the trouble was Bean's doing, in order to find a reason to send Eligi and her group out of the building.

Bean doesn't need this kind of unruly troublemaker.
