The next morning

Leorio announces to the groups of people passing by "Come on down! Let's have some conditional auctioning fun! We have a diamond worth 3,000,000. The winner will be determined through arm wrestling. The first person to beat either of these boys wins the diamond. You must pay a 10,000-Jenny entry fee."

We hear muttering from the crowd about us being kids until one responds "Don't bother, both of those kids took on five hundred people yesterday. Over eighty people ended up with broken arms the green one was the cause of 20 of them while the one in black with the pissed look broke 60."

I frown, thinking I'm not pissed! I'm just annoyed that I'm forced to do this!

As some big guys push their way through, Leorio responds "Oh, do we have our first challenger?" A short man responds "No."

I see Leorio look down at the guy "Huh?"

The little man continues "I already know that my man can't beat either of your kids. I was watching yesterday."

Leorio retorts "Then what do you want?"

The man grins "Interested in making some real money? I know where you can make big bucks instead of the pocket change you're getting here. You can make hundreds... NO, THOUSANDS of times more."

Leorio grins "Lead the way."

The man leads us as Gon decides to ask "Are they moles?"

Leorio whispers to Gon "Yeah, looks like we landed a big fish."

Gon responds confused "Huh? Fish?"

I can see Leorio get angry at Gon as I hold up my hand, telling him to not bother.

Leorio sighs "Stop talking. It doesn't matter!" The man stops in front of a building "Here we are."

We take a elevator down, leading us to an open arm wrestling championship. Killua responds "Oh! I can feel the bloodlust."

The man continues to explain "The arm wrestling competition here accepts all new comers, and it pays out. The spectators bet on each match, and the winner receives ten percent of all bets placed. We're talking billions of bets on each match."

Leorio retorts smiling "That would mean millions with each win!"

The man grins slightly "You could win even more... I'll be taking fifty percent of your earnings as my commission."

Leorio retorts "Fifty percent. Isn't that a little high?"

The man interjects "You can't participate unless I enter your name."

I retort "Move it Tiny! I bet I could pull it off..."

The guy laughs "But if you sign up under my name you can bet your own money. You'll get great odds with that kid, and earn back our stake a hundred times over."

I hold up my hand before Leorio can respond "Then I'll sign up under my name, and they can bet whatever! Besides, they don't know that I know them. I recon I could persuade them to sign up Gon... what you say Leorio?"

I can see Leorio shifting looks between us.

Time Skip

After managing to persuade the guy to sign up Gon under my name, the judge asks "Well? Are there any challengers?"

I point to Gon "We have one over here! I recon he could beat that guy easy."

The man looks confused as he nods "Huh? Very well."

The lights turn on as everyone looks confused. A strange looking man jumps in, wearing a short almost bra like black tank top and a black thong, announcing in a girly tone "Sorry, but the arm wrestling is cancelled! We'll be doing some conditional auction now!"

Leorio runs in front of us confused, grabbing onto the tiny man "Why was it cancelled?"

The man stutters "U-Uh, I don't know."

The weird guy continues as he looks over the crowd "To win, you must play hide-and-seek! We'll start by passing out flyers!"

One lady hands me a flyer with pictures of some random people "Examine the pictures on the flyer. Those seven people are your targets!" I look over, tapping one of the pictures "Hey wasn't this the girl that arm wrestled me?"

As I overhear one of the people speaking, I peer off to the side in their general direction "Hey, are those the ones responsible for what happened last night?" Another man speaks beside him "Yeah, you mean the attack on the auction?"

The strange man starts to speak again "In order to win the bid, you must capture and deliver a target to us. For each target brought in, you will receive a nice sum of 2 billion Jenny!" As I whistle, I muse under my breath "Wow... they must have really pissed off, some really important people."

The strange guy responds "There is no time limit. It doesn't matter if the target is dead or alive. Please contact us once you've captured one!"

Gon responds "Two billion each?"

Leorio responds with a smile "If we catch them all, we'd have 14 Billion!"

I retort lightly "It won't be that easy..." The strange guy continues his speech "It'll cost you 5 million Jenny to participate!" Leorio responds to us "We're joining in!" before I could look up and stop him, Leorio had already signed up.

I sigh, looking at Killua slightly stressed. We take our leave, exiting through the crowd.

Leorio talks "We need to hurry."

I retort "You stupid idiot it's not going to be that easy!"

Leorio looks confused at me "Huh?"

Killua responds "Either way we are in no hurry they won't be able to catch our targets. After all. the mafia's having trouble handling them."

I look at Killua "What did they do to the mafia?"

Killua looks sternly at us "This conditional auction is nothing but a bounty hunt. In other words, the Mafia is admitting that, alone, it can't capture these targets."

I look at the flyer with the faces "Who are these guys anyway?"

Killua speaks up "I just heard that the underground auction was attacked last night."

I nod at Killua "I heard that too."

Leorio responds mortified "The underground auction? Was it them? So that's why there's a reward for their heads?"

Killua chuckles slightly "Yep, they must be nuts to steal from the Mafia and we already know who would be crazy enough for that."

I look at Killua "Who?"

Leorio responds "The Phantom Troupe!" Killua nods as I look back at the flyer "So these are the masquerades behind my family's Murder..."

I chuckle almost in insanity as my aura slightly extends, a little too much to my liking "Fuck alive! I'm bringing in everyone of those fuckers dead I don't know if we can get a reward for every one of them after I'm through with them..."

I laugh as I feel an hand shake my arm.

I turn slightly, seeing an eerie presence smiling at me. I snap awake after feeling a burning sensation on my cheeks "What the hell did you do that for?"

Killua retorts "You had an extreme case of the munches just now! You had a massive blood thirst aura that even wanted me to run away!"

I sigh, looking away "Sorry... the bastard is exploiting my weakness family and lovers..."

Killua responds "Tempest?"

I nod as Gon and Leorio look at each other confused "Tempest?"

Gon looks away, remembering something "Oh, right... I wonder what's Kurapika up to?"

Killua responds "Yeah, he should be in the city, but he hasn't made contact."

I nod "He could be busy... you know with the stuff going on!"

Gon nods "I'll call him..."

Gon rings Kurapika's phone as he sighs "He isn't answering."

Leorio responds "Could it be possible his working?"

Killua looks up "Working?"

Leorio nods in response "I heard that he's been working as a body guard. Probably for some VIP... He's trying to track down the Scarlet Eyes, so it must be someone in the underworld."

I retort "You could have told us that before we rang! Body guards work day and Night."

Gon responds, thinking out loud "What if he was guarding that person at the auction house and he got caught up in the attack?"

Leorio is about to say something as I interject "I highly doubt it if the Phantom troupe is involved he would be on high alert, his got some serious spider issues. I wouldn't be surprised if he's already on their tail."

Leorio nods "It's possible that he's already captured two or three."

Gon nods, slightly concerned "I hope you two are right..."

I look at Killua "I hope I don't have to resort to my Specialist ability..."

Leorio thinks for a moment "Let's hit up a cafe and see if we can find any information on them."

I nod "Great idea but I highly doubt that there is any information on them what happens if one or two of them are hunters? Couldn't they cover their tracks?"

Time Skip

We sit on some computers, typing away to see if there is any information on any of the members.

Leorio sighs "No good... nothing! I've got nothing."

Killua sighs "That two billion reward per spider is attractive, but finding them will be impossible."

Gon nods "Yeah..."

I sigh "Even if we find one and capture them... they are quite tough, that girl alone dislocated my arm during the arm wrestling match. And if the other members are stronger than her we are in for a real treat. I vote Gon to hold them down!"

Gon gets up suddenly with an idea "Hey, we could ask for concrete information on the Net. Like the Troupe's current location. We could offer a large reward." I retort "Hey we not made of money and we are technically doing it for the money."

Gon pulls out his Hunter Licence "It'll be fine."

I smile in amusement "Why didn't I think of that?"

The next day

Gon smiles as he holds up his bank book Leorio exclaims "That's crazy... You actually have money."

Killua responds "Man, you really pawned your Hunter License? You're insane."

I sigh "And to think Gon might have actually had a great idea..."

Gon ignores my comment smiling "So, what should we do first?" Leorio smiles "Let's start by purchasing a Southernbees catalogue."

We head over to Southernbees to pick up a catalogue. The lady hands us the catalogue "Here is this year's Southernbees auction catalogue."

Gon takes it "Thanks."

Gon searches through the book "Here it is Greed Island!"

I look over "So theirs seven copies for sale... that's not many..." Killua nods as he looks over it "The minimum starting bid is 8.9 billion. Just as expected."

Leorio decides that we hit the market.

As we are walking around, Leorio speaks up "Now we wait for the information to come in. First, we catch one of the spiders and make them tell us where the rest are hiding, so that we can bag them all."

Gon stops, looking over a weapon.

Leorio is the first to turn around "What's wrong, Gon?"

Gon mutters "This is..."

Killua responds "Oh, a Ben's Knife."

I look at Killua "By Ben, you wouldn't happen to mean Ben the killer Ben?"

Killua nods "A hundred years ago, a mass murder designed it. He was a famous blacksmith. That is one of his original works. It's a lesser-known piece that a lot of rabid collectors are after. So, you recognized it, Gon?"

Gon shakes his head "No, I didn't." Killua looks confused "Huh?" Gon goes on to explain "It happened to catch my eye, so I got curious and I used Gyo. That's when I noticed a faint aura on it."

Leorio responds confused "Gyo?"

I grab the knife from Killua, dragging my finger along the blades surface "Gyo is an extension to Ren, that allows you to sense Nen surrounding someone. And it also allows you to see things hidden for example, Hisoka's Bungee Gum... Your right Gon, it has a faint aura on it."

I hand it back to Killua as his eyes light up "Right! There's another way! Another way to make money. Remember how four-eyes mentioned that really talented people use Nen without even realizing it themselves?"

I blush "That sounded somehow directed at me..."

Killua looks up at me with a wide smirk as Leorio responds slightly confused "Who's four-eyes?"

Killua responds "Wing-san. He was the one that taught us Nen. If we search for items with aura on them, like this knife..."

I respond, grinning at Killua "It's likely some genius made them!"

Gon exclaims "I get it! We find hidden gems."

I nod "Then we auction the items at a higher price!"

The shop dealer exclaims "If you want that, write down your price."

I look confused at the man as Killua responds "Customers are supposed to name their own prices?"

The man nods "Yeah, that's how this market works. You write down what you're willing to pay, and when time expires, the highest bidder wins the item. Understand? Popular items will see their prices shoot up."

Killua smiles "I get it now."

Killua marks down a price on the knife as he gets up "Well, this is the plan let's spilt up and get started."

Leorio replies "I'll check the online forums."

I lift up my hand "I may not be able to be much help in finding items, but point out the stores and I'll make sure we stay on top and still bidding."

Killua points out "If a bidder has already been placed, enter one that's 2.5 times higher. Even if you end up bidding too high, you'll succeed in discouraging any rivals."

Gon nods as he runs off "Okay!" Killua heads off as he nods "See you soon."
