While patrolling, members and bosses of mafia are seen unsatisfied with their situation. Kurapika then receives a call from Gon and Killua|. The two tell Kurapika about them being kidnapped by the Phantom Troupe which made Kurapika angry at them. The two still insisted on helping him by giving him information but Kurapika refuses since he has another source and does not want them to get involved in his mission. After their conversation, the Phantom Troupe continues their rampage while getting near the auction building.

Zeno analyzes the abilities of Chrollo and manages to guess how he can steal someone else's ability. Zeno walks towards Chrollo and makes his move but he suddenly stops. He sees Chrollo taking action by using his ability, a book that contains the lists of the abilities he stole. Zeno becomes more cautious and uses his nen ability in fighting Chrollo within a distance and manages to guess the use of Chrollo’s book while fighting him. Chrollo keeps evading Zeno's attacks while not letting his guard down on Silva. When Chrollo finally felt the presence of Silva, he gets caught from Zeno’s technique. When Chrollo is finally trapped, Zeno signals Silva to finish him off and Silva releases two large illuminating balls of aura aimed directly to Chrollo and his father.
