Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 19 The Discussion with Julia

Julia's encounter with Lucci was purely coincidental.

But since we've already run into each other, let's just enjoy the encounter.

Just then, Julia also had something she wanted to discuss with Lucci.

Since joining Sky Arena, although it has only been six months, Conrad has already undergone considerable changes.

Most importantly, the family now has several more fighters.

Of course, many people may look down on combat athletes, after all, no matter how high their martial arts skills are, they can be taken down with one shot.

But Julia was different; she knew that "supermen" existed in this world, possessing extraordinary powers.

The gangs in Cree knew this best.

After all, there are no viewing restrictions for matches on the 200th floor of the Sky Arena; anyone who pays can watch them.

Then you'll definitely be able to spot the differences in battles above level 200.

Gang fights involving hand-to-hand combat and gun battles are commonplace.

Some of the more powerful gangs can even bring out more heavy weapons.

Julia is different. She is smart and understands that even when equipped with weapons, the effects will vary depending on the user.

Not to mention she also wanted to access that magical power, the power called "thought".

She is an ambitious woman.

There are very few female leaders in gangs.

As a direct descendant of Conrad, she is not the only daughter of the current leader, but has many brothers and sisters.

Unlike the Nothra family in the anime, the Nothra family rose to power entirely thanks to Nyon's divination abilities.

A large gang family usually has many members.

Even as the eldest daughter, Julia was never a contender for the position of head of the family.

Furthermore, as a woman, she was difficult for most gang members to accept.

So she took a different approach and began to show her "benevolence," and her family business was also involved in industries that were not very profitable and that most people did not want.

Because of her philanthropy, she gathered a group of loyal followers.

And he was incredibly lucky, encountering two girls with "superpowers".

Her meeting with Lucci and their collaboration at the Sky Arena also helped her gain some recognition within the family.

She still controls the Sky Arena businesses, but she hands over most of the profits.

Her only target was the players she was on good terms with.

The reason Lucci was puzzled as to why Conrad hadn't made a move was because it was all Julia's personal action.

As Lucci's status rises, Julia wants to further collaborate with him.

But now she needs to know what Lucci needs.

Money is probably no longer what the other party values.

"So, what's the matter?" Lucci asked.

"I want to work with you, and on a deeper level." Julia knew Lucci's temperament well, so she got straight to the point.

"Cooperation?" Lucci asked, puzzled, then looked at Julia.

"That's right, this only represents my personal cooperation with you."

Lucci understood, leaned back lazily on the sofa, and asked, "So, what can you offer me?"

Lucci could guess a lot about Julia's behavior.

Of course, what he was thinking about at that moment was what the gangster family could offer him.

Julia, on the other hand, favored Lucci, who at his age was destined to become a referee on the 200th floor of the Sky Arena, especially since his father was also the chief referee of the Sky Arena.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lucci will undoubtedly become the chief referee of the Sky Arena.

Without interference from the Sky Arena's "directors," the chief referee is the one in control of the Sky Arena.

It's not just about the violent businesses within the Sky Arena; it also involves a large number of armed men and maintains good relations with various martial arts schools.

If we can get Lucci's support.

Then not only the Conrad family, but the entire city of Cree could dream about it.

"Anything Lord Lucci wants." Julia's words already placed her in a subservient position.

Lucci began to think.

Gangs are interconnected, and if a gang has a vast network of connections, then Lucci can indeed gain a lot of advantages in certain matters.

Various martial arts schools, the Hunter Association, and gangs.

These thoughts kept flashing through Lucci's mind. If he could build a network based on these ideas, it would be of great help to him.

Lucci now understands Julia's series of actions.

She is a smart woman.

"So what is your goal?" Lucci asked.

Lucci is weighing the options.

Julia understood that Lucci was interested.

Julia loudly proclaimed her goal and even made a statement that women can also become gang leaders.

At first, she was just unhappy with her father's choice, but now she wants the world to know her name.

Of course, her current target is still the gang leader of Kerry City.

That's enough for Lucci.

They discussed it for a while.

Without mentioning direct cooperation, Lucci wanted to see Julia's capabilities.

A well-maintained highway that leads to other cities.

If Julia can do it, then Lucci will choose to cooperate with her.

This requirement is not simple.

Firstly, the cost of building a highway is considerable, and there are many dangers involved in its construction.

It cannot be accomplished simply by using manpower and financial resources.

Julia also had her own simple request, stating that she would do so if she succeeded.

She hoped that Lucci could tell her about "superpowers".

Despite her two bodyguards possessing Nen skills, they were only vaguely familiar with it and at most only knew one form of Enchanting.

They were the daughters of a martial artist, but one day someone sought revenge and killed their father, who turned out to be a Nen user.

Impacted by the energy, they were forced to open their pores.

The Nen user believed that the two children were doomed to die.

They still ignored it, not expecting that at the last moment, they had mastered the power of their inner energy and did not die from the loss of energy due to opening their pores.

Then, while he was wandering, he was taken in by Julia.

Lucci wasn't surprised.

Nen abilities are not known to the general public, and even those who possess Nen abilities will not share their knowledge of Nen with others.

Even if one knows that the concept of "Nian" exists, but doesn't know its specifics, one can only rely on self-exploration to cultivate it.

Among the players on the 200th floor of the Sky Arena are some like this.

Those who possess Nen abilities generally don't want too many people to learn it; kind-hearted people worry that this power will cause chaos and harm.

Those with evil intentions fear that others will possess this power more than they do, or that if too many people possess it, they will no longer be special.

There are also some people in positions of power who, lacking the necessary qualifications, worry that too many people will learn to read it and threaten their own position.

Certain restrictions will also be imposed.

Just like the ten old gangsters in the anime, with their power they could easily create a Nen user army, but they were afraid they couldn't control it, so they limited it to the ten Shadow Beasts.
