Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 299 Kurapika's Promotion

Light Nosra watched Kurapika walk into the room.

Among the newly recruited bodyguards, Kurapika stands out the most.

Of course, Wright Nosla wouldn't pay too much attention to these bodyguards at first; he trusted Dazoni more.

In the Yorknew Town arc, many high-ranking gangsters gather at Yorknew Town, including figures like the Ten Elders, but the only Nen user among them is the Shadow Beast.

The Nosra family stands out particularly among them.

There are quite a few Nen users in the family.

Light Nosra recruited so many Nen users for only one purpose: to protect his daughter, Neon Nosra.

Because his daughter was his bargaining chip for climbing the ladder of success.

His unique prophetic abilities not only helped him earn a lot of money, but also earned him the appreciation of high-ranking gangsters and the Ten Elders.

Perhaps it was because of his daughter that Light Nosra paid more attention to Nen users and wanted to recruit some Nen bodyguards.

They also understood the power of Nen users.

As for other gangs, unless they have a large enough influence like the Ten Elders, many gang leaders are superstitious about guns and weapons.

Perhaps they've never witnessed truly powerful Nen abilities.

Light Nosra is now paying attention to Kurapika because of some business dealings with his family, which have benefited from Battra's patronage.

At first, he didn't know why.

It wasn't until I made some inquiries that I learned it was because of Kurapika.

His bodyguard was also quite extraordinary.

For the Light Nosla family, they might not be interested in Nen users with strong combat abilities.

However, it is highly valued by Nen users with special abilities.

Kurapika has that kind of value.

"I heard that your Nen ability has healing properties?" Light Nosra naturally already knew some of this.

But now he wants to confirm it further.

Kurapika could easily figure out why his employer asked that question.

They did not intend to deny it.

He simply let his thumb chain hang down in front of Wright Nosla.

"That's right."

Upon hearing Kurapika's admission, Light Nosra gestured to Captain Dazobane.

Dazo Nie then took out his weapon, a weapon with the character for "god" written on it, and used it to cut his left hand.

"Now, show us your abilities."

When Kurapika first appeared on the signboard, he didn't demonstrate his healing abilities.

"No problem." Kurapika saw this as an opportunity.

He wanted to get to know more of the Scarlet Eyes, so his position in the Nosra family couldn't just be that of a bodyguard.

We need to go further.

If Lucci were in the same situation, he would only think about taking control of the entire Nosla family.

In the anime, Kurapika eventually became the de facto controller of Nosra, mainly because Chrollo stole Nosra's abilities.

Under Kurapika's control, the Thumb Healing Chain wrapped around Dazo's left hand.

The wound was still quite deep, but the blood was temporarily suppressed by Dazo Nie's Nen, preventing it from spraying everywhere.

Kurapika activated his ability immediately, and Tazo's wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Kurapika also explained his ability: "My healing ring is not just a simple healing ability, but rather an enhancement of recovery ability. The recovery effect varies from person to person. If it is a serious injury requiring healing, then it needs nutritional supplementation."

And Dazo Nie did indeed feel a bit "hungry".

"Good, good, good!" Seeing that Dazoni's wounds had healed quickly, Light Nosla said "good" three times in a row.

He then stood up and went to Kurapika.

"Kurapika, would you like to join our Nothra family?" Light Nothra directly invited Kurapika.

This means they're really treating Kurapika as one of their own, not just as a hired bodyguard.

Wright Nosla made this decision simply because it was profitable.

Neon's abilities can help her move up the ranks.

So, could a healing ability also be used?

In the constant infighting within gangs, a healer with healing abilities also has a considerable market.

I just don't know what level Kurapika's abilities will reach.

Wright Nosla is already envisioning an even stronger Nosla family.

Should I join the Nosla family?

This seems like a good option; the higher one's status, the easier it will be for the clansmen to find their eyes again.

I was still thinking about this problem before, but now it can be solved very well.

Kurapika agreed immediately.

He agreed to join the Nosla family.

A gang family is not simply a group of people with the same surname; of course, many gangs are family-based organizations.

Kurapika quickly became the vice-captain of the bodyguard team, second only to Dazoya in status. Even the "dog man" who had been with the Nosra family for many years was below Kurapika in status.

Light Nosla also told Kurapika some things about his family.

This family is stronger than I imagined; they've already connected with the Ten Elders and own quite a few businesses.

The only drawback is that the family is too small; even when included in the entire bodyguard team, the number of members is still very limited.

Kurapika also learned a lot of information.

Firstly, some of Neon's recent prophetic poems have shown signs of trouble.

This gave Kurapika a certain understanding of Neon's abilities.

They possess the ability to predict the future, but it is not entirely absolute, as it can also be altered.

Prophecy appears in the form of prophetic poems. Without a certain ability to interpret them, prophetic poems may, to some extent, become a death warrant.

With a healer like Kurapika, Light Nosra is increasingly less worried about his daughter's safety.

Even if injured, they can receive immediate medical attention. If they cannot be saved, their condition can be stabilized immediately, and they can wait for further support.

All I can say is that Wright Nosla's idea was pretty good.

As for Kurapika's arrangements, Light Nosra waited until after the Yorknew auction ended before planning to take Kurapika to meet the Ten Elders.

The other bodyguards were puzzled as to why Kurapika had suddenly become the vice-captain.

Their next destination was Yokers, but Wright Nosla would have to settle his family affairs before he could go to Yokers.

Before that, Neon needed me to do a lot of work.

Kurapika finally saw many of the prophetic poems.

His heartbeat changed instantly, which Melody noticed.
