Chapter 179: Yorknew City
An unknown island little away from hunter mainland,
The entire island is razed beyond recognition with countless deep craters along the surfaces as if some kind of war had taken place here.
'Ha!' Sound of punching beat reverberated across the island.
Sweat leaked from Blaize's entire body and drenched his coat as he has been practicing his punches non-stop for days.
It's been five months since his battle with Netero. He traveled to different places of the hunter continent for two months before he came to this island. Since then, he has been training his Haki and Nen.
After his battle with Netero, he found a way to utilize his power properly by training his strength, reaction, and speed.
In these few months, Blaize's constitution rose from 74.8 to 76.8 while his Haki attribute grew to 78.5 from 75.4.
After finishing his training, Blaize took out the phone he brought and checked the date. It was August 29!
He knew the Yorknew underground auction will take place on Sep 1, so it's time he moves.
As he waved his hand, the little white on his shoulder transformed into his cloud form and showered water. Taking a clean bath, Blaize dressed in fresh clothes left the island.

Yorknew City,
It's a sprawling metropolis located on the Yorbian Continent. The annual auction in Yorknew City is the biggest in the world, with trillions of Jenny exchanging hands over the course of ten days.
Furthermore, it's home to thousands of auction houses that trade many illegal items. The influence of the mafia in the city is quite high.
It didn't take long for Blaize to find Gon, Killua, and Leorio who were surrounded by a crowd of people.
Leorio hyped to a gathering crowd that the first one to beat Gon in arm wrestling will win a diamond ring worth 3 million. As Killua shows off the reward, Leorio tells the crowd that it only costs 10,000 to participate and enthusiastically asks them to come forward.
A person in the crowd commented. "He's beaten 150 guys so far."
"He's gotta be running out of stamina by now. Look, he looks tired and sweating."
"Don't lose before I get my turn!"
"Okay, next person, please!" Leorio yelled.
Blaize smiled and stood in a line. After a few minutes, his turn came. When he came forward, Leorio, Killua, and Gon stood froze.
Before they could speak, he stashed 10000 jennies in Leorio's hand and walked towards the table, and put his hand out.
"Looks like you have gotten strong Gon. How are you?" Blaize spoke, feeling Gon's strength.
"Blaize! Where have you been these few months? I tried to contact you but I couldn't reach your number."
"Well...I was out of the network area." Struggling for a few seconds, Blaize let Gon beat him and left the table.
"Killua, you look good. It looks like you two have successfully learned Nen." Blaize spoke, looking at Killua.
"Gon, we will talk after you guys finish your business." Saying this, Blaize walked away from the crowd and watched from distance. The next moment, he sensed three strong auras.
Shizuku appeared. "Well, we have our first female challenger." Seeing her, Leorio announced.
'As expected of the phantom troupe, they have some strength!' Blaize mused, watching the play.
Like in the series, Shizuku lost to Gon as she used her right arm instead of her strong left arm. She thanked Gon and left the place
Looking at her leaving figure, Blaize followed. 'Finally, I can remove the seastone scraps in my body.'
Shizuku may look air-headed but he knew she's strong and kills innocent people without blinking her eyes.
She joined Franklin and Feitan who was waiting for her. As they leave chatting among themself, Blaize followed them.
After taking a few turns, the three of them reached an alley where there were no people. Suddenly, they turned and confronted Blaize.
"Who are you?" Franklin asked.
"Nice to meet you, Spiders. My name's Blaize."
"What do you want?" Feitan asked while he covered his hand with Nen, ready to end his life with a strike.
"I need to remove something from my body, for that, I need her Nen ability." Saying this, Blaize looked at Shizuku.
"Die!" Without wasting any time, Franklin stretched his hands. His fingers opened and fired aura bullets. Meanwhile, Feitan too dashed towards him.
Blaize sighed, "Seems like we have to do it the hard way", and snapped his finger. The next moment, Feitan who was rushing at him disappeared and appeared in the way of bullets.
'What?' Feitan only had the time to activate his Nen and surround his body.
Though Franklin stopped firing the moment he noticed Feitan, the latter was hit by a quite number of aura bullets.
"Feitan, are you okay?"
"I am fine." Feitan looked at Blaize with his eyes narrowed. He still couldn't comprehend how he was hauled here without any indication.
Only at this moment, the trio understood that they aren't facing a typical foe. The opponent is strong. With tactic understanding, they went into the formation the next second surrounding Blaize.
"As you wish" Blaize spread his hand and vanished from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared behind Feitan. 'Swish' A strike to the back of the neck, Feitan was knocked unconscious. Franklin and Shizuku didn't even have time to react.
A sword made of extreme heat formed in Blaize's hand. Positioning the sharp point above Feitan's heart, he spoke. "Shall we talk now?'
"What do you want?" Franklin asked, gazing at Feitan below Blaize's feet. He still couldn't believe Feitan, one of the strongest among their ranks, was taken down without any effort.
"You are Shizuku, right?" Blaize asked.
"Yes." Shizuku blinked at Blaize, exhibiting no sign of fear or any emotions.
"I am not an unreasonable person. Help me to remove something from my body, with your Nen ability it won't be a problem.
Do that, I will leave your friend alive and as a favor of helping me, I won't kill any of your friends the next time we meet. A favor from me is priceless, you should consider this seriously." Blaize gave his condition.
"OK. I will help you." Shizuku agreed without thinking much.
