September 4th: Part 15 (9
Synopsis[]
Leorio calming Kurapika's rage against Chrollo
Kurapika's eyes turn scarlet as he continues to angrily stare at the chained Chrollo, who asks if he needs to repeat himself, adding that the situation is no different from a coffee break. Kurapika suddenly punches him in the face, but when Chrollo gives a sly smirk and chuckles in reply, Kurapika begins to punch him repeatedly before Leorio puts his hand on his shoulder and calms him down. He tells Kurapika that it isn't his style and says to himself that he doesn't blame him for losing his temper against the man who was responsible for the death of his clan. Although Leorio tells himself that he has to stop him and says aloud that they don't have the advantage yet, Chrollo reveals that all their assumptions are flawed since he is worthless as a hostage.
Kurapika threatens to gag him again if he keeps lying, but Melody reveals that he's telling the truth, with Chrollo warning Kurapika that he's the one who's cornered. Kurapika asks Melody what she means, and she replies that Chrollo's heartbeat shows no changes and that he not only doesn't fear death but accepts it, enjoying the fact that it's always near him. She becomes frightened by the sound and covers her ears, yelling that she doesn't want to hear his or Kurapika's heartbeat any longer.
Melody finally adds that while Chrollo is the Phantom Troupe's leader, he also believes that he's worthless as a hostage. Kurapika asks him who he is, and Chrollo simply replies that they are the Spiders. Kurapika then asks him if he was the group's leader five years ago when they massacred the Kurta Clan for their Scarlet Eyes. After Chrollo stays silent, Kurapika readies his Judgment Chain and orders him to answer. Chrollo asks if it's the same one he used to kill Uvogin and wonders what his comrade said before he died.
Chrollo refusing to answer Kurapika's question
Kurapika replies that he doesn't remember and again orders Chrollo to answer his question. Chrollo coyly asks Melody if Kurapika is lying and tells him that just like Uvogin, he has nothing to say to him. Leorio assures Kurapika that Chrollo is just baiting him, and Kurapika grits his teeth in anger, wondering why his plan is falling apart and why he has to allow him to live.
However, Kurapika tells himself that he can't kill him and puts away his chain, turning away from Chrollo and pulling out his phone. Chrollo realizes that Kurapika has a weakness that the rest of the Troupe can exploit, hoping that Pakunoda brings the others with her to the meeting. As Kurapika calls Pakunoda and tells her to come to Lingon Airport, Chrollo says to himself that Kurapika will prioritize his friends over his mission.
Kalluto providing a distraction for Hisoka and Illumi
At the Troupe's hideout, Franklin and Bonolenov suddenly hear a noise somewhere in the building, with Hisoka saying that they should check it out. He leads the way and goes off by himself into another room, with Franklin telling him to be careful. The other two Spiders suddenly hear another noise and spot Kalluto crouching near a large window. He quickly leaps down and draws their attention as they watch him make his escape. Bonolenov wonders if they should follow, but Franklin worries that it could be a trap and decides to wait until the other members return. Hisoka regroups with the other two, but his eyes are now pitch-black as he gives a small grin.
