NOVEL NEXT Chapter 405: Chapter 405 Rich Rewards
Under the night sky.
Biscuit seemed to know exactly where Moses was, heading straight toward his location with a clear target in mind.
The reason why she could accurately locate Moses's position was because her eyes, which were filled with Nen, could see the small, condensed shadow moving around.
This shadow was a marker Moses had left for her, guiding her to their meeting point.
Soon, Biscuit, led by the shadow, arrived in front of Moses and scrutinized him from head to toe.
After confirming that Moses was not injured, she felt relieved.
"That group of people are not just some nameless small fry. The fact that you could fend them off and retreat safely shows you've made significant progress over the past year and more."
"Ah... Sis, you're overestimating me."
Moses smiled and glanced in the direction of the Snow Palace. He did not show off his glorious achievement of breaking three spider legs with his own hands. Instead, he said in a calm tone:
"I couldn't have held off so many Phantom Troupe members by myself. To be honest, there was a bit of luck involved."
"Oh?"
Biscuit looked at Moses with slight surprise.
Moses withdrew his gaze from the Snow Palace and explained:
"The Phantom Troupe thought they had me, but halfway through the fight, an assassin from the Zoldyck Family interrupted and took down one of their members. Plus, I got Kanzai's help, and oh, there was perve-"
Moses nearly slipped and said 'pervert', and quickly corrected himself: " And there was an outsider named Hisoka who held off another Phantom Troupe's member, so my situation wasn't as dire as you thought."
"Is that so…"
Biscuit wasn't aware of the exact battle conditions on Moses's side, but she knew that most of the Phantom Troupe's main force was there, so she could imagine the pressure Moses had to endure.
She hadn't expected that in such a situation, there would be an assassin from the Zoldyck Family and someone named Hisoka intervening in the battle, helping to alleviate much of Moses's pressure.
Given this, it did seem like there was an element of luck involved.
"Anyway, it's good that you're okay."
Biscuit nodded gently at Moses.
"Yeah."
Moses smiled, then suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "How did you shake off Feitan?"
"Feitan? The short guy?"
"Yes."
"Oh, the speed of that little dwarf is indeed troublesome, but he breaking one of his legs made him behave."
Biscuit replied in a nonchalant tone.
In fact,
This was how the situation played out.
While dealing with the combined attacks of Feitan and Bonolenov, Biscuit also charged the Rat Jewel she was wearing.
After receiving Moses's retreat signal, Biscuit initially intended to use the Rat Jewel's 'passage' ability to escape the battle.
However, Menchi and Shizuku's departure had already alerted Feitan and Shalnark to Rat Jewel's ability.
Moreover, Feitan's speed posed a significant problem.
In such circumstances, trying to use the Rat Jewel's ability to leave while engaged in close combat with Feitan and Bonolenov was clearly unrealistic.
In addition, she had to consider the possibility of reinforcements from the enemy side...
In this case, time is indeed very tight.
So, in order to quickly escape from the battle, Biscuit formulated a strategy on the spot.
After recharging Rat Jewel, she found an opportunity to let Rat Jewel transform and used its [Rat Path] ability, creating the illusion that she intended to escape through the passage.
Feitan and Bonolenov, of course, couldn't allow Biscuit to escape this way again.
So, in order to prevent Biscuit from escaping, they broke their own rhythm and launched a fierce attack, playing right into Biscuit's hands.
Sometimes, choosing to believe in the enemy's strengths isn't a bad thing.
Biscuit acknowledged Feitan's speed, so she decisively gave up the idea of leaving through the passage.
This decision inadvertently reduced many risks for her.
Then, Biscuit used the passage as bait to lure Feitan and Bonolenov, and then seized the opportunity to break one of Feitan's legs.
After successfully executing her plan, Biscuit took Rat Jewel away from the battle without hesitation.
After all, Moses had already retreated, so she had to consider the possibility of reinforcements from other Phantom Troupe's members.
However, at that time, she didn't know that five members of the Phantom Troupe had died.
With Feitan's left leg broken, he naturally lost the ability to pursue Biscuit. And, Bonolenov knew his own limitations, so how could he dare to chase Biscuit alone?
Just like that, Biscuit managed to shake off Feitan and Bonolenov.
As for whether the Phantom Troupe's members in the Snow Palace would arrive on the scene was no longer Biscuit's concern.
Hearing Biscuit's words, Moses couldn't help but wonder...
'Could it be that Auntie has transformed?'
Based on this, Moses decided not to pursue further questions.
"Let's go, we should meet up with Menchi and the others."
Moses retracted the shadow and looked at the mountain road stretching into the distance under the night sky.
The prerequisite for using Shadow Shift was to use a shadow clone as the medium for swapping positions.
Therefore, after exchanging positions, the shadow clone would inevitably appear at Moses's original position.
Also, because there was only one shadow clone that Moses released at the time, in order to retract the power, the shadow had to return along the route to his body.
However, Moses could compress the shadow's size and use In to eliminate its traces, thereby reducing the possibility of being discovered.
The Phantom Troupe was unaware of the need for the shadow to return to the body.
If they had someone with the experience of an elder like Tsubone, they might be able to notice it immediately.
However, back when Moses brutally beat Illumi in the Heavens Arena, Tsubone saw through this mainly because Moses hadn't yet learned the advanced Nen technique, In.
Moses and Biscuit left the forest and headed down the mountain.
It didn't take long for them to intercept a black car on the mountain road.
There were only two people in the car.
One was the driver, and the other was the eldest son of an unknown Mafia Family.
In front of these two, Biscuit crumpled a handgun into scrap metal, and then 'politely' asked the eldest son of the Mafia Family to give her and Moses a ride.
Thus, Moses and Biscuit smoothly got into the car.
Leaning back in the rear seat, Moses closed his eyes, maintaining Zetsu state to gradually restore his depleted Aura, while at the same time beginning to confirm the rewards given by Perception.
