Summary

A hostage exchange is arranged over the phone, and Kurapika allows Pakunoda to meet with him first to confirm that Chrollo is still alive. At the meeting, she also agrees to allow Kurapika to use his Judgment Chain ability to plant chains around both her and Chrollo's hearts. Pakunoda's chain is set to kill her if she reveals Kurapika's abilities to another Phantom Troupe member, while Chrollo's chain will kill him if he uses his Nen or communicates with another member of the Troupe.

Back at the Troupe's hideout, the Spiders continue to disagree about the hostage exchange but eventually decide that it's for the best. Hisoka secretly follows Pakunoda to the exchange, arranging a fight with Chrollo after revealing that his Spider tattoo was fake. However, he immediately becomes uninterested once he discovers that Chrollo can no longer use Nen. After the exchange, Pakunoda returns to the Troupe's hideout without Chrollo. To answer the questions of the other members, she uses her Memory Bomb ability to transmit her memories and knowledge of Kurapika to the founding members, knowing that she will instantly be killed by the Judgment Chain and hoping that her sacrifice will save the lives of the remaining members.

With Gon and Killua free, they are able to attend the Southernpiece Auction. They lack the ability to buy a copy of Greed Island, so they plan to apply for one of the Hunter positions that the multibillionaire Battera is filling to clear the game. At the auction, they unexpectedly run into Phinks and Feitan, who tell them that the Troupe is no longer seeking to kill Kurapika, as doing so would only strengthen the Judgment Chain around Chrollo's heart, and probably kill him. However, they keep secret the fact that Chrollo is most likely looking for an exorcist to remove Kurapika's chain.

After the auction, Gon and Killua gain a preliminary interview with Tsezguerra, a fellow Hunter and Battera's chosen interviewer. He tells them that they are too weak in their current condition to play. Though frustrated, Gon and Killua do not give up. They spend the next four days before the official interview developing their respective abilities and pass with flying colors, shocking Tsezguerra with the speed of their progress. At the same time, the Spiders have also kept busy, having stolen one of Battera's copies of Greed Island. After traveling to Battera's Castle and entering the game, Gon listens to a message from his father telling him to enjoy the game he made with his friends. He then learns about the game's mechanics and anxiously waits for Killua to enter after the other new recruits.
