I Am Not Really Related

This most straightforward method of distraction needs to be updated for kids nowadays.

However, the problem is that Kurapika couldn't imagine someone as significant as Haru would resort to such childish tricks! 

It's as absurd as if the President told you someone was outside, and when you went to check and found nothing, he just laughed and said, "I was just kidding."

It's just unbelievable!

What makes Kurapika even more distressed is that his chains are primarily targeted at members of the Phantom Troupe, which is why they are particularly effective against Uvogin.

It's only been about half a year since the Hunter Exam.

It's impressive how Kurapika has learned Nen and various techniques from scratch.

And indeed, Kurapika can now fight and even overpower members of the Phantom Troupe.

However, his miraculous abilities don't continue when facing non-Troupe members.

Yes, he ran!

He pulled a 'flying saucer' trick and ran away without any honor in combat.

Kurapika was frantic at that moment, wanting to keep Haru and Uvogin.

However, because the chains binding on his middle finger were limited to the Troupe, he couldn't use them on outsiders, and his raised hand just froze, forcing him to watch helplessly as the two escaped.

Although furious, Kurapika didn't lose his senses; instead, he released the Soul Chain from his ring finger.

Previously, the Soul Chain finally stopped Uvogin, and now he could use its tracking ability to chase after them again.

Besides, a blessing in disguise might be at hand.

This time, he could find his way directly into the Phantom Troupe's lair.

The guy just said he wanted to settle accounts with Uvogin's boss, the Phantom Troupe's leader, who Kurapika intends to kill the most.

As for his past dealings with Hisoka, Kurapika had already dismissed them.

When there's a chance for a confrontation, who would back down?

So, without a second word, Kurapika gritted his teeth and chased after them.

...

Meanwhile, even carrying someone, Haru swiftly and quickly moved as if on level ground, distancing himself from Kurapika.

He isn't afraid of Kurapika, despite Kurapika's being terrifyingly strong against the Troupe members.

If Haru wanted to eliminate him, it would only take counting down a few numbers.

Haru ran, partly because he felt he was in the wrong and also to avoid Uvogin getting killed.

As for the place where Chrollo is, with insiders, people would dare say they could find it.

In comparison, it's much more secure than the place guarded by the older men.

At least they wouldn't lay hundreds of 'mines' (subordinates) around to attract attention when they need to stay hidden.

So...

"Take me to Chrollo. Nobody gets away with owing me money."

Uvogin is in terrible shape, with both arms broken and his body covered in wounds. Hearing Haru's words, he can only crack a big laugh.

"Idiot, just kill me!"

Real or not, he wouldn't betray his comrades.

So, describing his current state as desperately wanting death couldn't be more accurate.

Uninterested in looking at him further, Haru pulls out his cell phone and calls Chrollo, "Your man is with me now, and we're half an hour from the 24-hour payment deadline. If I don't see a successful transfer message within this time, I'll have to send him off first, then come get it myself."

"I admire your audacity. You're the first to dare default on my final payment in ten years."

There's a brief silence on the other end of the phone before it seems Chrollo has decided, "Let Uvogin talk to me. I'll transfer the money immediately."

"Here, your boss wants to hear your voice. Cooperate, or I won't leave your legs intact either."

Uvogin shows no interest in the phone.

He'd rather die here!

But sensing Uvogin's intention to destroy the phone and not drag others into this, Chrollo sternly shouts, "Uvogin! Listen to me!"

Uvogin reluctantly stops and listens as Chrollo speaks, "Don't do anything foolish. This man was the assassin I hired to take out the Ten Dons—[The Ninja]. Don't conflict with him further; leave the rest to me."

Uvogin looks up at Haru.

He knows [The Ninja]'s infamous reputation, though he's always been oblivious to Chrollo's various actions. Now, the man did come to collect a debt!

Thinking this, Uvogin no longer rushes to die but hopes to live.

After a few responses, Chrollo instructs Uvogin to return the phone to Haru.

"Did you hear? While I'm still patient."

"Three days."

"Hm?"

"Give me three days. I'll settle the final payment."

"So... you're playing me? It seems I'll have to send you both to hell together."

"50 billion. I have another 50 billion here, not included in the final payment, to buy three days of you not acting against Uvogin."

"One day. Fifty billion will only buy you one more day. If your man hadn't been tough enough, I'd already be behind you, cutting off your head."

"50 billion for one day, acceptable. I'll transfer 50 billion first, and the remaining 100 billion, and the final payment will follow in three days." Chrollo concedes further.

Haru then smiles slightly, "Fine, I agree. Now, you have 5 minutes to show me your sincerity."

Ding!

Strictly speaking, only 3 minutes passed when Haru received the transfer notification: 50 billion yen, not a yen more or less.

Haru raises his phone and says, "Good, the money's in. I hope I'm not wasting these three days for nothing."

"Just a minor mishap. Three days will be plenty."

"Is that so? Considering your confidence, I'll throw in a piece of information for free. I didn't capture your man; I snatched him from a blond kid who plays with chains. Fifty billion will only prevent me from killing your man, but likewise, if someone comes looking, I have no obligation to keep him safe."

"So, if you see a corpse three days later, please don't doubt my professional ethics."

"After all, bodyguarding costs extra!"
