For the next couple of days, we decide to hold off on doing any further plans of making money.

Killua helps me to read the journal. While I ask him to summarise the paragraphs, so I can find which ones effect me.

I smile as Killua reads to me "You know what I could used to this..."

Killua pouts "You know what could be helpful, if you learnt Gyo! Then you can read it on your own."

I respond "Oh... burn! But it would be a shame then, I don't get to listen to your beautiful voice recite many, of the embarrassing things my father wrote..."

Killua pouts "I'm still trying to think how Nathaniel managed to give Netero a wedgie, Gon and I couldn't even grab a ball from him! Yet somehow... he gave Netero a wedgie..."

I chuckle a little bit "I never thought he would be like that... He was always so serious when training with me. He once broke my arm twice, in one day because I wasn't blocking correctly."

I frown soon after "And since I just found out he was an Enhancer, I literary felt more stupid. I always thought he was just physically fit, and when he didn't hold back, it always hurt like hell..."

I sigh, changing topics to my other father "Vastorie always used to train me in predicting ones movements... He would prove his point constantly by reading... while fighting me. Do you know what was more embarrassing about the whole scenario? Not only did I get my ass beat by Vastorie, he was focused more on the reading than the actual training..."

Killua lifts a eyebrow in curiosity "What was so interesting, that he had to read during training?"

I pout "He was reading Manga specifically... Romance. And didn't matter to him Yuri, Yaoi, straight. And he would read everything out loud... it's was utterly embarrassing."

Killua laughs "That's funny you lost to your dad in training while he was reading!"

I lift an eyebrow "Did you already forget the part I said Reads everything out loud?!"

Killua gulps "Everything...?"

I nod, staring him down "EVERYTHING!"

Killua starts laughing again, hits the floor hard this time "That's even more funny!"

I frown, retorting slyly "Flip to page 12 and continue from there onwards..."

Killua calms down a little bit, still chuckling softly.

Killua flips to page 12, speaking replying to the page "Oh your dad can even draw... that's cool... his very detailed..."

Killua slowly starts to turn beetroot red as he continues to flip through "That-that's very graphical..."

I smile, focusing on Killua "I was thinking of trying The Emperor, what you think?"

Killua flips through, hitting the page and slams it shut. He turns to me with completely flushed cheeks, speaking in shock "Who's taking lead?"

I smile slyly "I would be of course but... I don't know if there is enough materials to pull it off... I'll need your help to carry the rest of the gear home..."

Killua gulps, retorting quickly "I won't laugh anymore!"

"Good because I never plan on pulling it off... that and I couldn't force myself to tie you up, but... I think I could be persuaded!" I muse as Killua looks at me with deadly eyes "You father is a sick and twisted man!"

I sigh "I know, but there are other positions worse than that, still... I miss his more normal humour... However I have no desire to be an assassin... But knowing the other families... They'll be all gung ho about it... Especially since I have no parents to hold me back."

Killua nods "So it's true they're gone..."

I nod "Sadly, it's true if Vastorie is still alive, I can't sense him... Nathaniel is dead... but Vastorie may be alive..."

I look down at the floor unable to choose my words "If he is alive I can understand why he doesn't want to come out... It was like he was completely crushed and... I can't think about it, so I burnt his remains and buried his ashes... I couldn't bury him left like that."

I look up at Killua "Whoever these The Phantom Troup members are... they are powerful and ruthless... I been training my Specialist Nen just to combat people of that calibre... but I don't know if its powerful enough to stand off against them... I won't know till I have to use it. Until then, I must learn as much as I can..."

Killua nods, looking back at the journal "What about you?"

I smile, pulling another book "I have an oath to keep."

September 1st

I hear Gon's voice barely over the crowd "Wow, there are so many people!" Killua responds as he walks "But this market's purpose is to swindle people who have come for the auction."

Killua nods as he swings his arms over Gon's shoulders "Yorknew's dream auction is held once a year in the world's largest auction house. They say that, just during the ten days of official bidding, tens of trillions of Jenny Exchange hands."

Gon responds in amazement "Tens of Trillions?"

I nod "Sounds like a large sum gets passed through here..."

Killua nods "Yeah, an item sold for ten thousand can be turned around for a hundred million the next day. You can make a fortune instantly, it's where dreams come true."

I smile "It's true mine has already come true..."

Killua blushes "Baka, I meant fortune wise..."

Killua thinks for a moment "Gon, do you think Kurapika and Leorio will show up?"

Gon nods "They promised they will meet us here. I'm sure they'll come."

I speak up "Kurapika will most definitely show he has business here."

Killua nods "Yeah!"

Gon retorts "They might try to contact us."

Killua check his phone, turning to look at Gon "Hey, you have to buy a phone! It's standard Hunter gear."

I poke Killua "You mean it's standard gear, everyone needs a phone these days!"

Gon smiles "Ah, that's true..."

Time Skip

We hit one of the many phone stores, browsing through the store.

As we browse, the shop owner speaks to us "Hey Welcome! Why not check this phone out...? It's the hottest current model! Super-thin and no bigger than a credit card."

I nod at Gon "That's great for you Gon... IF you want a paper weight!"

The man stutters "It has GPS, which comes in handy for meeting with people."

I retort "EVEN BETTER! It makes it easier for you to be tracked. Perfect!"

A man behinds us interjects "Don't bother. That feature doesn't work in many countries, and it isn't waterproof. That model is for people who only make calls." We turn around as I yell in surprise "It's Leon!"

Leorio retorts "Leorio!"

I taunt smugly "That's what I said!"

Gon smiles "Leorio!"

Leorio smiles "Yo! I would recommend..." Leorio walks up to the counter, looking through the phones. He picks up one of the phones "This the Beetle 07. It's a little heavy and pricey, but it includes a translator for two hundred languages used worldwide."

Killua responds "What? Seriously? Go with this one Gon. I'll buy one, too!"

Gon nods "Yeah!"

Leorio looks at me "How about you?"

I shake my head "I sigh... And I just brought one... You know what?! Sure I'll get one as well!" Leorio turns to the shop keeper "Three, please."

The man responds "Three will cost six hundred thousand."

Leorio freaks "Six hundred thousand? That's expensive, pops!"

I smile, holding out my hand "Then why don't you haggle then."

Leorio smiles "Don't mind if I do!"

A Little while later

Gon smiles happily as he places the phone in the bag "Thanks, Leorio!"

Leorio sighs "But, damn, 110,580 Jenny, huh?" I retort "Considering the original price was 200,000 each you did pretty good that's almost half price..."

Leorio retorts "Why didn't you haggle for all three? You managed to get Killua's down to 97,580 jenny!"

I retort "Hey I was lucky I could even do one! I used my bullshit artist skills to pull Killua's off! I'm lucky for my perks, they can be useful when haggling..."

Killua responds "Still, talk about overkill. I've never seen a cell phone purchase greeted with an applause before."

I pinch Killua's cheek "You almost died of embarrassment!" Killua slaps my hand away as I pout.

Gon smiles "But you two really saved us."

Leorio grins "Just so you know, that was nothing. The serious dealing only starts when the seller tells you to leave."

I nod "That's true I managed to get a guy to drop Killua's necklace by 90% with a threat... the merchant tried to scam me!"

Leorio looks at it "It looks like a expensive piece how much out of your pockets?"

I pout, poking my fingers together "100,000 Jenny..."

Killua and Leorio retorts "WHAT?"

I flick up my hands in self defence "Well considering he the starting price was 1 million Jenny I did pretty good job!"

Killua sighs as Gon responds "These two would be the last ones you would find at an auction..."

Killua nods "No kidding."

Leorio looks at us "So how you guys doing?"

Gon responds "Apart from Killua and Daniel being together, what do you mean?"

Killua and I slowly turn our head to Gon as Leorio responds "WHAT?! Since when? Now that I think about it, they do look pretty close... But I was more talking about training, you've gotten stronger, right?"

Killua grins slightly as I respond "You don't even know the half of it!"

Time Skip

Sitting down at a restaurant, we discuss our past 6 months.

As Leorio slams his hands on the table, he responds in shock "What? You returned the tag to Hisoka at Heavens Arena? And you have to be pretty good to make it to the 200s... How strong have you gotten now?"

I retort smugly "Pretty strong!"

Gon smiles "Hey, have you learnt Nen, Leorio?"

Leorio smiles, adjust his glasses "Yeah, you bet."

Gon smiles "Awesome!"

Killua and I respond sarcastically "Really?"

Leorio sits back, responding mischievously "Why would I lie to you? It's the ability to build up a shroud of aura, one's own life force..."

Leorio grins, looking at us with a smug look. I sigh, responding casually "Cool, you learned Ten... now what about the others Zetsu, Ren and Hatsu as well as Gyo?"

Leorio retorts "WHAT, There's more to it?"

Killua looks over to us with an un-amused look "I figured as much. You're not one to talk Daniel you still need to learn Zetsu and Gyo!"

I pout "It's not my fault I suck at those two, however I do have something to combat Gyo..."

Killua sighs "But Zetsu is important too..."

I frown "I know..."

Leorio retorts "You two are already fighting like an old married couple!"

Killua and I turn to Leorio "Shut up, old man!"

Leorio responds in shock "And you already speaking together..."

Time Skip - Hotel

Gon and Killua explain what they plan on doing as Leorio and I listen.

Leorio speaks up after hearing all they have to say "Greed Island? What's that?"

I lift up a finger "It's a super ultra rare game! That's worth a lot..."

I sit beside Killua, with my arm wrapped around him while he sucks on a lollipop.

Leorio turns to me "Would you two get a room already!"

I retort smugly "We are already in one! And it's not like I'm making out with Killua at the moment..."

Leorio retorts "But... you look like you're about to rip off his clothing any second now!"

I frown "Hey, I do not have that look!"

Gon responds in confusion "Why would Daniel want to do that?"

I glare at Leorio, making him freeze in panic with a huge smile on my face "We were talking about Greed Island... Please refrain from speaking about other, private topics..."

Gon responds "Yeah, we're trying to get a copy at the auction."

Leorio gulps and nods "But why a game?"

Gon replies "I think this game holds a clue to finding my dad."

Leorio looks confused "Huh?... The game holds a clue to finding your dad? What do you mean?"

Gon responds "Well, it's a long story..."

I respond "I rather hear the short story!"

Killua playfully pushes me away "Anyways, the problem is the cost."

Leorio responds,only half listening to the topic "How much are we talking?"

Killua lifts a finger "Well... the starting bid is... 8.9 Billion Jenny."

Leorio retorts "8.9 BILLION? How much do you have?" Gon fumbles around "We made some bad investments, so we're down to 5 million... with Daniel 305 Million..."

Leorio sighs as he massaging the bridge of his nose "Listen up, kids... this event is held at Southern Piece, the world's finest auction house. The money you have won't even cover the entry fee."

I sigh as Gon responds "But the game has a low difficulty rank on the Hunter site's treasure list."

I respond "Really?! At that price? What's type of rarity scale they using?"

Gon turns to me "You only need money to get a copy."

Leorio grins as he sits back in his chair "It always comes back to money. This world runs on money!"

Killua retorts "Well... that just means that a real treasure can't be brought. If you can't obtain an item like this with ease, you can't be considered a pro Hunter, right?"

I grin "That's a harsh way of putting it... but I say, finding a rare animal is a lot easier than raising 8 plus billion dollars to win an item that could easily go up to around 30 billion..."

Killua sighs as Gon and Leorio get up to use the computer "I don't need you to tell me that. But first we need money... We'll need some starting funds. Let's find a way to make some money in Yorknew!"

Gon nods "Yeah!"

I sigh, looking at Killua "This isn't going to end too well..."
