Book 7: Chapter 25: Collision
“Qin Lun, do you know what happened with the big explosion at the Auction Building?” Kurapika asked softly, “Also, are you also chasing that hydrogen balloon right now?”
Hydrogen balloon? Qin Lun rolled his eyes and immediately understood. The streets near the Auction Building were all blocked by the Mafia. Perhaps the Phantom Troupe didn’t want too much trouble, or maybe they just didn’t care about the Mafia at all, so they used this high-profile plan of traveling back and forth through the air.
While this was more convenient, it made it even harder to shake off the Mafia’s pursuit. Right now, there were at least hundreds of Mafia thugs following underneath them. This time, he didn’t need to worry about following the wrong direction; probably soon, he would see Kurapika and the others’ car.
“Everyone at the auction place was killed by the Phantom Troupe. That big explosion was the Mafia’s final counterattack method.” Qin Lun didn’t hesitate and directly pinned the blame for the explosion case on the Mafia. “I’m following the Mafia vehicles in pursuit right now. I still can’t see the hydrogen balloon yet, so I’m probably a bit behind you guys.”
Qin Lun rolled his eyes and asked casually, “Is the entire guard team of your Nostrade Family in the car?”
“Yeah, except for Ivanov, Shachmono, and Baise…” When mentioning Ivanov and the others, Kurapika’s voice grew softer. Even though they had only been together for a few days, the young man still felt a bit sad. He was much kinder than Qin Lun.
A faint smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face. Baise really hadn’t contacted Kurapika and the others again, and he had also tested the real situation at the hotel where the Nostrade Family was staying.
If Dalzollene took the remaining guards and were all pursuing the Phantom Troupe, then Yin and Liza would surely succeed, and he had eliminated the biggest potential problem.
“Vault completely empty, killed people at the auction and encountered counterattacks.” As long as the Phantom Troupe weren’t all idiots, they would definitely figure out that the news had been leaked. Neon’s Divination Poem wasn’t exactly a secret. Once the Troupe ruled out the possibility of a traitor among themselves, capturing a few Mafia survivors wouldn’t make it hard for them to learn about Neon’s existence.
