Gon, while hidden, watches his friends being confronted by Hisoka, and he immediately thinks of changing his plans to help his two friends. Once more, Hisoka orders them to hand over their badges. Kurapika did not give a direct response, depending on the conditions related to the badges they had. Kurapika then dissects the situations of the badges they own, Leorio's badge was the target of Tonpa, and Kurapika's target was Tonpa's badge; these 2 badges are currently in their possession. Neither of them is Hisoka's target. As Hisoka approaches them, Kurapika offers the other badge they own, which is only worth a point for them. Then informs Hisoka if he wants to use force, Kurapika is ready to defend and fight Hisoka. Both Leorio and Kurapika draw their weapons. Hisoka asks for Kurapika's badge number; upon knowing that he is not Hisoka's target Kurapika then offers the badge that's worth a single point then both of them silently retreat away from Hisoka.
