In the distance, Leo's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Leo walked down the empty corridor, his footsteps echoing in the silence.
He recalled the expression on Kurapika's face just now—that look of shock, confusion, and helplessness.
He knew that this news was too much of a shock for Kurapika.
But he still chose to say it.
Not out of sympathy, not out of pity, but simply out of appreciation, to save him from continuing his arduous search for the traces of the spiders.
He appreciated Kurapika's upright values and kind heart.
He appreciated that he was steady in his actions and always considered the team in everything he did.
He appreciated that when facing the enemy who slaughtered his clan, he could give up the chance for revenge for the sake of his companions.
The hatred for the genocide of his clan weighed more heavily in Kurapika's heart than anything else.
But when Gon and Killua were captured by the Genei Ryodan, he was willing to use Chrollo, whom he had already obtained, to trade for those two companions.
Not acting impulsively when facing an enemy, knowing when to hold on and when to let go—this was Kurapika's personal charm.
Leo stopped, looked back, and in the distance, the three figures were still standing there.
He smiled, turned around, and continued walking forward.
The sound of Leo's footsteps gradually faded in the empty corridor.
Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio stood where they were, watching his back disappear around the corner.
Kurapika remained silent, his gaze hollowly fixed in that direction, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just then, another figure appeared not far away.
It was Satz, who was planning to leave.
Satz saw the three newly qualified Hunters, especially the Hunter license in Gon's hand that he was looking at over and over again.
Satz's gaze fell on that license, and his pupils constricted slightly.
In the corner of that license, two silver stars were clearly embedded—a Two-Star Hunter license.
"Gon."
Satz stepped forward and asked.
"Can I see that license?"
Gon looked up, saw that it was Satz, and immediately revealed a bright smile.
"Mr. Satz! Of course you can!"
He handed the license over.
Satz took the license and carefully examined the name and number on it.
A few seconds later, his expression became more complex—a mix of surprise and a hint of realization.
"The owner of this license..."
He looked at Gon, his tone becoming serious.
"Is a Hunter named Ging."
Gon's eyes lit up instantly.
"Ging! That's my dad!"
Satz was slightly stunned, then a genuine smile appeared on his face.
He didn't expect that this ordinary-looking child in front of him was actually the son of that legendary man.
"Come with me."
Satz beckoned to Gon.
"Let's talk privately."
Gon nodded and followed Satz to a corner nearby.
Leorio and Kurapika stood where they were, watching the two walk away.
Leorio scratched his head and muttered in a low voice.
"Ging's son... that Ging seems to be very famous?"
Kurapika did not answer.
He was still immersed in his own thoughts.
Leorio noticed his state and gently patted his shoulder.
"Kurapika, are you okay?"
Kurapika looked up at Leorio.
In those eyes, the previous confusion and emptiness were gone, replaced by a more firm and profound light.
"I've figured it out."
Kurapika's voice was calm and powerful.
"Those eyeballs of my clansmen that were lost... I will find them all back."
He clenched his fists.
"No matter whose hands those eyes are in, no matter what price I have to pay, I will retrieve them. This is my mission, and it is also my promise to my clansmen."
Leorio looked at him with a relieved smile on his face.
"This is the Kurapika I know!"
He patted Kurapika's shoulder hard.
"Alright! I support you! Although I might not be able to help much, if you need anything, just ask anytime!"
Kurapika nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Gon and Satz finished talking.
He ran back quickly with an excited smile on his face.
"Mr. Satz told me a lot about my dad!"
Gon's eyes were sparkling.
"He also said that my dad is a very powerful Hunter!"
Leorio smiled.
"I can tell."
Gon took a deep breath, and his expression became serious.
"Leorio, Kurapika, there's something I want to discuss with you."
The two looked at each other and nodded.
"I'm going to find Killua."
Gon's voice was firm and powerful.
"Go to his home and bring him out!"
Leorio was stunned, and Kurapika also frowned slightly.
"Gon."
Leorio said cautiously.
"Do you know what Killua's family does?"
Gon shook his head.
"I don't know. But I don't care."
Leorio took a deep breath, his tone becoming serious.
"The Zoldyck Family. That is the most famous family of assassins in the world. It is said that there is no one they cannot kill. Anyone who provokes them will die."
After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Gon, hoping to see a trace of hesitation on this child's face.
But Gon just shook his head.
"I'm not afraid."
Gon's eyes were clear and firm.
"Killua is waiting for us to pick him up. He must be very miserable. We are friends, I can't leave him behind."
Leorio was silent, and Kurapika was also silent.
The two looked at each other, and then—they both smiled at the same time.
In that smile, there was helplessness, appreciation, and the realization of "as expected."
"Alright."
Leorio shrugged.
"Anyway, my life was saved by luck, so it doesn't matter if I go with you."
Kurapika nodded.
"I'll go too. Three people together is better than one."
Gon's eyes lit up.
"Really?! That's great!"
"However."
Leorio interrupted his excitement.
"We have to find out where the Zoldyck Family is first. That kind of place definitely can't be found just like that."
Kurapika thought for a moment and said.
"We can find a way to investigate. There should be relevant information on online channels."
"Then it's settled!"
Gon nodded vigorously.
Just when the three of them made up their minds.
"Hi!"
A hearty voice came from behind. Hanzo walked over with a big smile on his face, striding forward.
"I'm going back to my country! The time I spent with you guys, although it was very tiring and painful, it was quite happy!"
While he was speaking, he took out a few business cards and handed them to the three people.
"If you come to my country in the future, remember to call me!"
"I'll take you to some very mysterious tourist spots!"
Leorio and Kurapika thought to themselves.
"To think there's such a hospitable ninja..."
After saying goodbye, Hanzo turned and left in a dashing manner.
Pokkle also walked over and smilingly exchanged contact information with the three.
"Hello everyone, I want to become a Beast Hunter, if there is anything you want to find, you can contact me!"
After Pokkle walked away, Leorio patted Gon's shoulder and said.
"Alright, let's go too!"
Three figures turned and left the hotel.
Sunlight shone on them, casting long shadows on the ground.
