Branding in Hunter x Hunter World - Chapter 19
Chapter 19 Extermination Of Genocide X Past
call!
Hoo hoo…
During this frenzied acceleration, Leorio was drenched in sweat, and even his shirt was taken off and tied around his waist.
With the rapid breathing, he strode forward under the vigorous swing.
“Leorio, are you okay?”
Not far away, Kurapika asked slightly worried.
“Phew…you’ve seen it too!” Stretching his legs continuously, Leorio gasped and said, “If I go all out, I can probably hold on for a while longer!”
“Even if you are naked, I will follow. If you feel ashamed, stay away from me!”
“Hahaha.” Blaze laughed and said, “Why would you feel ashamed? Leorio’s spirit is worth learning from.”
If it weren’t for the physical transformation after [Brand], if Blaze were to run such a long distance, he might have been eliminated at the time of 40 kilometers.
Blaze still admires Leorio’s spirit of hard work until now, and really doesn’t know how the other party persisted.
Kurapika, who has been looking at the figure of Leorio, has a different touch in his heart at this moment.
Perhaps it was shocked by the other party’s tenacious spirit.
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn’t help asking: “Leorio, I want to ask you something.”
call!
“Talking nonsense is a waste of energy.”
Keeping staring at the figure in front, Leorio gritted his teeth and said, “Ask if you have anything.”
“Did you really become a Hunter for the money?”
Kurapika said calmly, “I don’t think so!”
“Although I haven’t been with you for a long time, I can tell. You are indeed frivolous and reckless…”
“However, you are definitely not that kind of superficial person. I have seen many people who regard money as their life before. You are completely different from them.”
Blaze didn’t know why Kurapika said this at this time, so he could only listen silently.
In fact, when he was in the box earlier, he discovered that the two of them had different views on Hunter. It would be great if they could talk about it now.
It’s just that maybe Kurapika’s complaints were a little too much.
Let Leorio mistakenly think that the other party is teaching him: “Hmph! Have you said enough?”
“Scarlet eyes.”
“What?”
Leorio had some doubts and didn’t know what the other party was talking about.
But Blaze was startled when he heard the words “Scarlet Eyes”, thinking that the other party had discovered his previous “branding”.
But the next topic made Blaze feel at ease again.
Kurapika calmly said: “This is the reason why our Kuluta clan exterminated.”
“Scarlet eyes are a characteristic of the Kuruta people. When they are emotional, the color of their pupils will turn into a fiery crimson.”
“If you die while turning crimson, the color of your pupils will be fixed at crimson forever.”
“This crimson hue is known as one of the seven most beautiful colors in the world.”
hear this.
Blaze, who was constantly being shocked in his heart, couldn’t help but think of his “branded” red eyes.
Perhaps because of [Brand], Blaze’s Scarlet eyes can be freely opened without changing his mood.
“I just don’t know if my red eyes are different from Kurapika’s.”
…
Leorio said silently: “So, you were attacked by the [Phantom Troupe] you mentioned on the ship?”
“All the clansmen who were tragically killed had their eyes gouged out.”
Although the context is calm, the hatred in Kurapika’s heart is inflated: “When they died, those empty eyes seemed to speak of their resentment.”
“I came to participate in the Hunter test with only two purposes, to capture Phantom Troupe with my own hands, and to bring back all the eyes of the clansmen!”
Facing Kurapika’s monstrous hatred, Blaze didn’t know how to speak for a while, he couldn’t easily persuade the other party to let go of hatred.
If you don’t understand the suffering of others, you must not persuade them without knowing it, or you will be killed when there is a thunderstorm.
“But…” Leorio said with a serious expression, “I’m afraid those eyes have already been sold on the black market.”
“The buyers there are all powerful and powerful, and ordinary people simply can’t get close.”
“Leorio, you are wrong.”
Blaze calmly said: “Have you forgotten what we are doing now?”
“Blaze, you are right.”
Kurapika calmly said: “As long as you become a Hunter, and then through the employment of those powerful people, you will definitely be able to obtain corresponding information.”
“Accept employment?” Leorio was surprised: “Didn’t you say that this kind of signing Hunter is the most indignified and disgusting?”
“Like lackeys, slaves to money, driven by them.”
“…”
Hearing Leorio’s words, Kurapika said silently: “What is my dignity compared to the pain of my people when they died?”
“As long as I can get revenge and get back the eyes of my compatriots, I am willing to do anything…”
That firm tone, like an indestructible iceberg, slammed into the depths of Blaze Leorio’s heart.
quite a while.
“sorry.”
Leorio apologized earnestly: “I was wrong before. I didn’t have a noble reason like yours. I just did it for money.”
What he said made Blaze a little speechless. It’s okay for the sake of money, but wouldn’t it be a bad idea to say such things in this atmosphere…
“You are lying!”
Kurapika, who was always calm, said angrily, “Do you think you can buy anything in the world with money?”
“That’s right.”
Leorio is very sure: “Not only things, but also dreams and hearts!”
“Human life is the same, as long as you have money! There is nothing that cannot be bought with money!”
“Leorio!”
Blaze looked at the other party firmly: “Are you serious when you say that?”
Although it’s nothing if it’s just for money, during this short time together, Blaze can feel the kindness emanating from the bones under Leorio’s reckless appearance.
Kurapika asked directly and loudly: “Tell me, why?”
“This is a fact!”
Leorio roared: “With money, my friends won’t die anymore!”
“???”
Hearing this, the two were a little at a loss.
“Friend died?”
“Is it because of illness?”
Different questions, but with the same meaning.
His expression was a little sad, but more angry.
Leorio clenched his fists and said angrily: “He is not suffering from an incurable disease, the problem is that the operation fee is too expensive.”
“Because of lack of money, a minor illness turned into a serious illness, and finally died of such an inexplicable death. You say it’s ridiculous…”
“I used to want to be a doctor, just so that I could treat children suffering from diseases like my friends for free.”
“But I was naive.”
Leorio said angrily: “To become such a doctor, it costs an astonishing amount of money. It’s really a joke.”
“Ordinary people like us can’t afford that kind of school.”
“So, do you understand?”
Leorio said a little angrily: “Money, money, money! I just want money!”
Looking at the figure running to the front, Blaze and Kurapika couldn’t help but smile at each other, they really saw the right person.
“By the way, Blaze.” Kurapika asked casually, “Why did you come to participate in the Hunter test?”
“me…”
Hearing Kurapika’s inquiry, Blaze was really at a loss.
