Chapter 99 Julia is being targeted
Silva Zoldyck walks through the streets of Kree.
Feel the city's frenzy, with fighters everywhere and even some public arenas where people are fighting.
He had heard of the Sky Arena before, but only now had he actually arrived.
If it weren't for the mission, he probably wouldn't have come here.
At this time, Silva Zoldyck was still very young, although as an assassin he had already experienced many missions.
He came here to assassinate someone—the head of a mafia family.
Silva Zoldyck was hired by Pittman of the Pwynla Corporation.
The target of the assassination was Julia Conrad.
Although Pittman is a mid-level employee of the Pwenla Group, the authority he can exercise is still limited.
At least the company won't support him in waging war.
Facing constant attacks from the Patch tribe, and with the Conrad family's instigation, Pittman has been having a rough time lately.
In his view, the reason this situation occurred was all due to the Conrad family's interference.
Whether it was influencing the Republic of Batokia or actively helping the Pach tribe, it all infuriated Pittman.
In that case, he wouldn't mind spending a lot of money to hire an assassin to kill Julia.
Because they knew that the Conrad family also had Nen users, and because many Nen squads had been defeated and killed by the Patch Tribe and the Conrad family.
He knew that hiring a regular assassin might not be very effective.
It's best to find one with a good reputation and a guarantee.
They spent a fortune hiring assassins from the Zoldyck family, a world-renowned family of assassins.
As a world-renowned Zoldyck family, they possess considerable power, and are certainly not lacking in intelligence gathering.
After all, intelligence is extremely important for assassins; otherwise, they might not even know who their target is.
Silva is still the head of the Zoldyck family, and he's not even married yet.
After arriving in Kerry City, he conducted an on-site investigation to confirm whether there were any discrepancies between the information he gathered and that of the Zoldyck family.
Once the target is identified, the next step is to find an opportunity to kill them.
Julia is the mayor of Kerry, so assassinating her should be easy.
But Julia has been busy with the KOF tournament and Basen Rainforest lately.
They're almost always either in the Sky Arena or in the Basen Rainforest.
Both of these locations made it somewhat difficult for Silva Zoldyck to take action.
The Zoldyck family is not a family of assassins who would sacrifice their own lives to kill their target.
For them, being a hitman is just a job; they also have their own lives.
This complex environment made it difficult for Silva Zoldyck to take action.
Most importantly, he has discovered that Julia Conrad is also a Nen user, and that she has Nen bodyguards by her side.
Even in a suitable environment for action, these two factors alone cannot guarantee a 100% chance of quickly killing the opponent.
He was looking for the right time.
Silba is not yet the head of the family he will become; he is cold and aloof.
He is currently at the Sky Arena, seemingly intending to register for the KOF tournament, but actually wants to get closer to Julia.
This time, Lucci did not have the Sky Arena completely take over the KOF tournament, but instead handed over the preliminary rounds to the Conrad family.
The Conrad family has a presence in Cree and owns numerous fighting ring businesses, including underground fighting rings.
It's also a very big business.
Because of the large number of applicants, the qualifiers were outsourced to avoid affecting the operation of the Sky Arena itself.
Furthermore, according to Lucci's idea, such a match does not necessarily have to take place entirely in the Sky Arena.
Once the KOF tournament has gained a reputation, it can be held all over the world under the name of the organizer.
Of course, this can also be seen as a way to enhance the reputation of Sky Arena.
Feel the atmosphere around me.
There are too many people here, and quite a few of them are Nen users.
After several days of tracking and investigation, Silva Zoldyck had basically figured out the situation of Julia's bodyguards.
In addition to the bodyguards who are just like ordinary people, there are a total of four Nen users as bodyguards.
Two of them were the Eve sisters, who had always been with Julia.
The other two are male bodyguards. Judging from their closeness, the male bodyguards are combat members, while the two female Nen users may also have combat abilities. However, Silva believes that the two female bodyguards possess some special abilities.
The Sky Arena is not a good place to make a move; it's best to wait until they leave work and then do it on the way.
Shiba has identified a target location for his operation.
What he is doing now is tracking.
In Julia's office.
Julia was unaware that she had been targeted by assassins from the Zoldyck family, and was instead focused on looking at the roster.
"How is it?"
"There were so many people who signed up, but we've already recorded them all."
Conrad has recently acquired a new "business".
A job called "intermediary".
Gangs also need men; not just anyone can join a gang, especially a family-based gang.
Whether they are trusted confidants or their henchmen, there is a set of procedures.
Gangs with even a little bit of power often like to recruit members in Meteor City.
Meteor Street serves as a talent pool for gangster families.
Meteor City also needs some financial assistance from the yakuza.
People who come from Meteor City generally have good skills and temperament, and since they don't have much information, they are very suitable for doing dirty work.
Conrad's "intermediary work" was really just giving other gang families another option.
In Kerry City, there are many martial artists who possess considerable skill but are disillusioned.
Many people come here for the money.
Of course, Julia only dares to do "information business" up to 100 levels.
Once this information is collected, it is introduced to the relevant gangs, and if they are interested, they will be recruited through the Conrad family.
Of course, you can also recruit directly in Kerry City.
This can also be seen as one of the ways the Conrad family strengthened its ties with other mafia families.
"How's the venue preparation going?" Julia asked quickly.
"Everything is ready, the referees are all prepared, and even the tickets are going on pre-sale."
His men responded quickly.
"Hmm, very good!"
In some ways, the Conrad family is now part of the Sky Arena.
After finishing the KOF registration, Julia did not rush to leave the Sky Arena.
Instead, he planned to first meet with the Conrad family members who were fighting in the Sky Arena, and then pay his respects to Lucci.
