The next day, Shalnark continued to stalk Y/n L/n. "Boss, there's a city hall meeting, she might attend" he explained to Chrollo. "Shizuku, Nobunaga, get dressed, we're going to the city hall meeting" Chrollo said. "What if she's not there?" Shizuku asked. "That's what I'm here for, I'll see if any cars leave her house" Shalnark explained.
Shizuku dressed in a white cardigan and navy skirt with black leggings underneath. Nobunaga put on a brown leather jacket and some jeans while Chrollo wore a brown coat with a black shirt under. He wrapped bandages around his head to cover up his tattoo. "We're off" Chrollo said to Shalnark. "Good luck! I'll let you know if I see anything" he smiled.
After a fifteen minute car ride, Chrollo, Shizuku, and Nobunaga arrived at York New City Hall. It was a massive white building with an old school architecture. Chrollo parked the car and the three of them entered the building and made their way to the room in which the meeting would be held. The walls were powder blue and the room was decorated with gold. The three of them took their seats and waited for the meeting to begin.
Back at the office, Shalnark was paying close attention to the house in which Y/n L/n resided in. The front gates of the mansion opened and a white Rolls-Royce Phantom came out of the driveway. Shalnark's eyes opened wide and he felt his heart skip a beat. He grabbed his phone and texted Chrollo.

Shalnark watched as someone came out of the driver's seat. It was younger man dressed in a black suit, he walked over to the backseat of the car, opened the door and a woman came out. She was wearing a white suit and Prada Catwalk sunglasses. She had on black heels with red bottoms on them. Although her face was covered, she matched the description of Y/n L/n. Shalnark watched the cameras as she walked into the building.
As Chrollo was waiting for the meeting to start, murmured conversations could be heard, but it stopped abruptly when one woman entered the room. She was wearing a white suit, black heels and sunglasses, and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. When she removed the sunglasses from her face, Chrollo recognized her instantly. Nobunaga opened his mouth to say something, but Chrollo raised his hand to stop him.
"Okay, I will be beginning now" the mayor stood up and started speaking. Y/n L/n directed her attention to the mayor. "So I'd first like to thank all of you for coming out here today, I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart" the mayor said. Even though it had seemed like the woman's attention was directed to the mayor, Chrollo couldn't help but feel this tension, this feeling as if these eyes were staring right at him. He turned his head and looked at Y/n L/n, only to find that she was still focused on the mayor.
"Boss, do you feel that too?" Nobunaga asked. "Like you're under a microscope being watched?" Chrollo responded, indicating that he felt the same. "She's very...captivating" Shizuku said. "What do you mean by that?" Chrollo asked. "It's like she can attract your attention without any efforts, making it hard to focus on what's right in front of us" she explained to Chrollo.
Shizuku described it perfectly, that's exactly what this mysterious woman did to the three. Y/n L/n then got up from her seat and walked to the door before exiting the room. She did it so swiftly, so gracefully, so perfectly. Chrollo eyed the door and waited a few moments before getting up himself and leaving the room. He took a few steps down the hall and didn't see the woman.
"Did you get lost?" the woman spoke finally. Chrollo turned his head and found her standing there, looking right at him. "I did, do you know where the bathrooms are?" Chrollo asked innocently, putting his hand on the back of his head. "I see...the bathrooms are down the hall to the left" she told Chrollo. "Thank you I ap-" "I'm onto you, I don't know who you are or what you want, but my suspicion is very high right now" the woman said as Chrollo was walking past her.
"What raises your suspicion?" Chrollo asked her. She was looking Chrollo dead in the eyes now. Those fiery eyes reeled Chrollo in and made him a little nervous. "I trust my gut sir, and my gut instinct is seldom incorrect" she said to him, raising her eyebrows ever so slightly. "Well...I don't know if it'll do me any good saying this, but I can promise that I'm no trouble to you" Chrollo smiled at her, trying to ease the situation.
Y/n L/n wasn't buying not a single word he said. "I best be on my way now" she walked away from Chrollo. "Miss wait!" Chrollo called out to her, causing the woman to turn around quickly. "I never got you're name" he said to her. "Y/n, that's all you need to know" she replied to him and went back to the meeting.
Chrollo went to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. The pressure and nervousness that he felt faded away, he wasn't sure if it was because he was no longer in the same vicinity as Y/n or if it was because he was able to speak to her without any trouble being caused. After a few moments, he walked out and continued to the meeting, which was coming to an end.
"What were you doing?" Nobunaga whispered to Chrollo. "I talked to her, she's onto me" Chrollo explained calmly. "You're not worried?" Shizuku asked. "Why should I? She has no reason to be" he said. Nobunaga calmed down when he realized what was going on. Chrollo was already playing his mind games.
Once the meeting came to an end, everyone got up from their seats and started leaving the room, Chrollo could tell that Y/n wanted to be out of there, but she was held back. "Miss Y/n, I wanted to talk to you" the mayor knew her from a first name basis. She walked over to him and got ready to hear him out. "I know you have large amounts of money, I was wondering if you were willing to help us" he explained to her as Chrollo left with Shizuku and Nobunaga.
They got into their car and Chrollo drove. "She's more intimidating in person" Nobunaga said. "She's still important" Chrollo reminded him. "I know, I wonder if Phinks would like to meet her now" Nobunaga joked, not knowing that Y/n L/n was not the one to be messed with.
