Life in HxH - Chapter 19
Chapter 19: Discussion with Julia
Julia met Lucci by chance.
But since we have encountered it, it is better to share the details than to encounter it by chance.
It just so happened that Julia also wanted to find Lucci for something.
Although it has only been half a year since he moved into the Heavens Arena, Conrad has already undergone considerable changes.
The most important thing is that there are several more fighters in the family.
Of course, many people may look down on fighters. After all, no matter how skilled they are, they can be knocked down with one shot.
But Julia is different. She knows that there are “supermen” in this world who possess extraordinary powers.
The gangs in Kerry City are the ones who know this best.
After all, there are no viewing restrictions for the games on the 200th floor of the Heavens Arena, and anyone can watch it as long as they pay.
Then you will definitely find that the battles above the 200th floor are different.
Hand-to-hand combat and gunfights are common among gangs.
Even some more powerful gangs can bring out more heavy weapons.
Julia is different. She is very smart and knows that even if she is equipped with weapons, there will be differences depending on the user.
Not to mention that she also wanted to get in touch with that magical power, the power called “thought”.
She is an ambitious woman.
There are very few female gang leaders.
As a direct member of Conrad’s family, she is not the only daughter of the current leader, but has many brothers and sisters.
For example, the Nosra family in the anime is different. Nosra rose to power entirely due to Nion’s divination ability.
A large mafia family usually has quite a few family members.
Even though she was the eldest daughter, Julia was never a contender for the position of head of the family.
And as a woman, she is difficult to be accepted by most gang members.
So she took a different approach and began to show her “kindness”, and her family business also involved industries that did not make much money and that most people did not want.
By being kind and charitable, she gathered a group of loyal people under her.
And he was extremely lucky as he met two girls with “super powers”.
The meeting with Lucci and the cooperation in the Heavens Arena also made her gain some fame in the family.
The Heavens Arena industry is still under her control, but she handed over most of the profits.
Her target is only those players she is friendly with.
The reason why Lucci was wondering why Conrad did not take any action was because all this was Julia’s personal behavior.
As Lucci’s status rises, Julia wants to cooperate further with him.
But now she needs to know what Lucci needs.
I’m afraid that money alone is no longer what the other party values.
“So what’s the matter?” Lucci asked.
“I want to cooperate with you, and it’s a deeper level of cooperation.” Julia understood Lucci’s temperament well, so she went straight to the point in a simple and clear manner.
“Cooperation?” Lucci was puzzled at first, then looked at Julia.
“Yes, this is just my personal cooperation with you.”
Lucci understood, leaned lazily on the sofa, and asked: “So what can you bring me?”
Lucci could guess a lot about Julia’s behavior.
Of course, what he was thinking about at this time was what the gangster family could bring to him.
Julia is optimistic about Lucci, who at this age can become a referee on the 200th floor of the Heavens Arena, and his father is also the chief referee of the Heavens Arena.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lucci will definitely become the chief referee of the Heavens Arena.
In the absence of interference from the “directors” of the Heavens Arena, the chief referee is the controller of the Heavens Arena.
Among them, there is not only the violent industry in the Heavens Arena, but he also has a large number of military forces under his command and is on good terms with various martial arts schools.
If I could get Lucci’s support.
Then not only the Conrad family, but even the entire city of Kerry can imagine it.
“As long as it’s what Lord Lucci wants.” As soon as Julia said this, she was already putting herself in a lower position.
Lucci thought about it.
All gangs are connected to each other, and if there is a huge network of gangs, then Lucci can indeed get a lot of convenience in some things.
Various martial arts schools, hunter associations, and gangs.
These kept flashing through Lucci’s mind. If he could build a network based on these, it would be of great help to him.
Now Lucci has understood Julia’s actions.
Is a smart woman.
“So what is your goal?” Lucci asked.
Lucci is weighing.
Julia understood that Lucci was moved.
Julia loudly stated her goal and made a statement that women can also become gang leaders.
At first she just didn’t accept her father’s choice, but now she wants the world to know her name.
Of course, her target now is still the gang boss of Kerry City.
That was enough for Lucci.
Had some discussion.
Instead of talking about direct cooperation, Lucci wanted to see Julia’s abilities.
A well-maintained road leading to other cities.
If Julia can do it, then Lucci will choose to cooperate with her.
This requirement is not simple.
First of all, the cost of building a highway is not simple, and there are many risks in its construction.
It cannot be accomplished with just manpower and financial resources.
Julia also has her own simple request, saying that if she succeeds.
Hopefully, Lucci can tell her about “super powers”.
Even though her two bodyguards have mastered the Nen, they don’t know how to use it and can only entangle her at most.
They are the daughters of a martial artist, but one day someone sought revenge and killed their father, and that person turned out to be a Nen user.
Under the impact of the mental energy, they were forced to open their sperm orifices.
And the Nen user believed that the two children were doomed to die.
He still ignored them, not expecting that they had mastered their mind energy at the last moment and did not die from the loss of energy due to the opening of their sperm orifices.
Then he was taken in by Julia while wandering.
Lucci is not surprised either.
The ability of Telepathy is not known to the general public, and some people who have mastered it will not tell others about it.
Even if you know that thoughts exist, you don’t know their details. If you want to practice, you can only rely on your own exploration.
There are such people among the players on the 200th floor of the Heavens Arena.
Generally speaking, people who have mastered the ability of Nen do not want too many people to learn it. Kind-hearted people think that this kind of power will cause chaos and harm.
People with evil hearts are afraid that other people may possess this power stronger than themselves, or that if too many people possess it, they will no longer be so special.
There are also some superiors who, though they themselves lack the aptitude, are worried that too many people will learn how to recite it, thus threatening their own positions.
There will also be certain restrictions.
It’s just like the ten old gangsters in the anime. With their power, they can easily build an army of Nen users, but they are afraid that they won’t be able to control them, so they limit themselves to the ten Shadow beasts.
