"Hey... The Necros base was here, right?"

"I think it was. But what the hell is this pungent smell?"

"Corpses... obviously."

A group of men was outside the Necros base that Killua had massacred a couple of weeks ago. They were holding their own investigations in the vicinity of the area.

"This is kind of ironic... the Necros were known for massacres, and now they were massacred."

"This wasn't really surprising. With a clan as reckless and as secretive as Necros, this was bound to happen eventually."

"I know... I heard they keep challenging big shot organizations within the underground world."

"Hey... quit chattering. I found the boss. But the necklace you were looking for is gone, End." A man inside the cave, said while coming out of it. He was dragging the headless body of the man Killua had last killed, i.e. the "boss".

"I was sure the necklace was in him along with a couple of jewels possible assailants could've taken more interest in." The man named End replied.

"What are we looking for again?" His companion asked.

"A bloody red colored gem. It was held by a simple knot." End replied.

"Are you sure it was yours? It doesn't look like it passes your tastes in jewels."

"Yes, it was mine."

"What's so important about it anyway?"

End smirked and looked at them.

"That necklace gives you entitlement to a pretty pet."

"Hmmm. That's rather unusual. So how do we find it?" His companions asked.

End pointed out the direction where Killua had taken off. "The man who took it left a trail."

"The man? You mean a single person did all of that?" His companions asked, surprised.

"Yes. The movements were sharp and were minimal yet deadly. An experienced assassin could've most likely done it."

"Are we following the trail that man left behind?" They asked.

"Of course. Lets go."

"But why would he left a trail if he's going to massacre an entire clan?"

"He must be crazy confident that he can even take even the people who has affiliations with Necros. Tch."

"I doubt it." End smirked and he added... "For a person to do this so recklessly, that must mean..."

"He must be really bored."

-

"Well... this is boring. I don't have anything to do." Killua sighed. He counted the loot he had acquired from his matches at the previous floors and was wondering what he'd spend it on.

"What do you plan on buying with the money you got, Kira?" He asked her.

"I don't know." The quiet girl answered. "You're bored too, right?" Killua yawned to which the girl replied with a nod.

"I know! Let's see what Gon's up to." He said and quickly got up.

"Yo Gon. What are doing?" Killua asked over the phone.

"Ohhhh. You're helping gather information? Can we come along?"

"Okay. We're in our way." He said and ended the call.
