Hunter Queen: Killer Queen - Chapter 124 Joey’s short fighting life
On September 27, promotional posters for the battle between Hisoka and Chrollo were plastered all over the arena.
Joey purchased a front-row ticket with a pretty good seat, and also found a seat at the top of the arena to watch the game.
Joey’s seat was a little further away, on the second-floor viewing platform of the venue, but from here he could clearly see the situation in the viewing platform below.
At that time, he will be able to observe Geralt’s security measures and also launch an assassination attempt on Geralt there.
No one knows better than him how much damage the battle between Hisoka and Chrollo will cause to the audience of the arena. This time the arena’s plan to make a lot of money will definitely go bankrupt. This is in the battle. It was doomed before it started.
After all, those two people are self-centered people who don’t care about the life or death of others. In their eyes, ordinary viewers are just tools that can be killed at any time, or even used as weapons.
Joey has no plans to deal with the brigade, let alone Hisoka, so when the time comes he will avoid the two of them and open up a battlefield with Geralt alone.
In his opinion, the possibility of being hacked is the greatest if he comes into contact with the Brigade and Hisoka.
After all, fair negotiations are based on equal strength, and is he strong enough to be on par with the Brigade and Hisoka? The answer is naturally no.
Even though Joey is confident in his abilities, he doesn’t have the habit of gambling on his life.
Besides, there was no need for him to provoke the brigade and Hisoka. It was purely an act of causing trouble for himself.
As for the entire assassination plan, it was actually very simple. It was to take advantage of the chaos to launch the assassination.
There is no special arrangement, but it is the most suitable assassination method for Joey.
Because in his short fighting life, he realized one thing, that is, the more people play tricks, the more likely they are to fail due to unexpected things.
So what he has to do is not to choose not to be a human being like Dio, but to make the plan the simplest and simplest. It does not require too many calculations. He only needs to have an understanding of the environment and personnel before the battle, and then the rest will be left to him. Just give it to on-the-spot performance and calculation during battle.
Joey enjoys this kind of battle and challenge, just like he enjoys the sudden shock and wonder every time he goes to different places and sees different beautiful scenery.
And the battle that made him realize everything, except for the torturous time after the loser fell into the dust, was the battle with the person who deprived him of his six senses.
The feeling that you have to calculate every second, and if you make a wrong calculation, you may fall into the abyss, but as long as you find the correct answer among countless answers, you can instantly step from the abyss to heaven. It is really addictive!
Especially seeing the shock and disbelief of a confident opponent at the moment of defeat gave Joey a sense of accomplishment.
Maybe he is fundamentally different from Kira Yoshikage, or maybe his constant battles with chimera ants in ngl and Togoto have allowed him to slowly turn that passive fighting into enjoyment and yearning.
But no matter what the reason is, Joey now understands his heart better.
Maybe he will return to a peaceful life after washing away all his troubles, but at that time he may just be waiting for an opponent who needs to go all out!
Time passed slowly while waiting. Although Geralt had left the Sky Arena in the meantime, Joey only glanced at it from a distance. After confirming Geralt’s face even more, he returned to himself unmoved. He continued his practice in the room.
The next day, he heard news that the top leaders of the arena were attacked outside the arena and several attackers were killed.
Obviously, Geralt’s action was fishing.
Joey continued to watch indifferently, but the day before the game, he left the room with curiosity about the brigade, but he did not see anyone from the brigade in the sky arena.
They thought that when they arrived, they should have directly climbed to the top of the arena. After all, Chrollo was the floor leader.
As for Hisoka, Joey also didn’t see it, but he found that there were many people dressed as clowns in the arena. These people even had Hisoka’s banners in their hands. They were obviously fighting fans who liked Hisoka.
It’s hard for Joey to judge this. The Republic of Bartokia is very magical. There are no criminals in this country. As long as there is enough money and strength, the killer family’s residence can become a desirable tourist attraction.
This place is more like a lawless place, but the lawlessness is not pure enough.
Anyway, as long as you have money and strength, you will be treated like a hero in the Sky Arena.
On the other hand, even if you have no ability, even if you do good things, it will be difficult for you to be respected and recognized in this city.
In Joey’s values, the rules of Sky Arena are very deformed, but in such a chaotic world where humans can only live in a corner, they appear to be very normal.
Joey didn’t follow anyone, but after looking at the cute Q-version Hisoka brooches, he couldn’t help but buy a set and secretly pinned two of them on his shirt.
Maybe when he sees Hisoka in the future, he can give Hisoka a surprise by revealing his shirt!
With this thought in mind, Joey also bought a few Chrollo’s brooches. It was only when he saw the unhappy look in the man’s eyes that he remembered that the two men were on opposite sides.
But he was so upset that he could still sell Joey the brooch. Joey felt that his future would be limitless.
So he picked and picked very stingily, only bought two Chrollo brooches, then left the 2,000 ringnies he had bargained for and left.
Feeling the resentful aura behind him, Joey was in a good mood.
On October 1, at 10 a.m., Joey walked into the arena with a ticket.
Because it is a battle between floor owners, the arena is the largest venue that can accommodate 3,000 members.
Each seat is actually a plastic mat installed on the stone steps, with numbers written in paint on the mat.
Joey was in the first row on the second floor, but he did not go there first. Instead, he walked to the seventh row on the next floor, which was about five rows away from Geralt and others.
He also bought the tickets there, but he would leave five minutes before the game started, and then a man of similar build to him and dressed the same as he would sit there again.
The person sitting there was paid by Joey to hire him. Although this might expose his identity, things had reached this point and Joey didn’t care at all even if his identity was exposed afterwards.
Joey walked to the seventh row near the venue according to the position on the ticket. In just a moment, he was surrounded by people.
However, through the gaps in the crowd, he could see the arena’s senior executive, Geralt, sitting not too far away from him.
Geralt is a tall, powerful man.
He doesn’t look like a businessman, but more like a fighter who should stand in the ring.
Wearing a suit, he first gave people the impression of a suit thug, and then a gangster, but he couldn’t get in touch with a serious businessman.
Of course, strictly speaking, he is not a serious businessman.
Geralt is involved in everything from hotels and casinos to human trafficking.
Behind Geralt is a tall young man who is equally powerful and has dark skin. The young man’s eyes glance around from time to time, like a ferocious beast that may choose to devour anyone at any time.
Joey knew him, Geralt’s personal bodyguard, Atticam.
On Geralt’s left hand side, there was a tall woman with long blood-red hair and flaming red lips.
The straight-line distance between Joey and the woman was about 4 meters. At this distance, he could clearly feel that he was surrounded by a circle.
While taking time to leave his seat, Joey judged that the woman’s circle should have a radius of about 5 meters, which was not too big, but it was more than twice as big as Joey’s circle.
If the opponent is not a specially developed circle, then with such a big circle, the opponent’s strength cannot be underestimated.
I think she was the one who discovered the gecko in the office at that time, and at that time, when there was obviously no enemy invasion, the other party would continue to keep the circle open, so the other party’s energy was definitely not small.
Of course, Joey is more willing to believe in the circle specially developed by the other party, and even uses oaths and restrictions in the development of the circle. Otherwise, it will not be an easy task to open the circle most of the day.
Not everyone can do it, after all, not everyone is Nephipeto or Kate.
A person can open an irregular circle with a radius of two thousand meters as easily as eating and drinking, and a person can open a circle with a radius of 45 meters for half a night without feeling tired.
Under normal circumstances, round release also consumes a lot of energy, and this consumption is more tiring than sustained release training.
If Joey turns on [Practice] and consumes 1 Qi point per second, then just turning on the circle will consume 3 Qi points per second.
Although there is only a two-point difference, with Joey’s potential energy capacity of 18,000, he will be completely exhausted if he continues to circle for an hour and a half.
Even if the other party has special skills that can reduce the consumption of Nian, Joey doesn’t feel that the other party can continue to open a circle for several hours. After all, just from the perception of the other party’s circle, Joey does not feel threatened.
Joey still trusts his instincts.
In this way, the simple judgment he can make is that once the battle begins, he will not step into the opponent’s circle unless necessary.
Otherwise, you are likely to be attacked by unknown capabilities.
Just like he himself developed [Weather Forecast] by combining circles with abilities, he felt that the woman’s abilities must have something to do with circles.
But in this case, the only abilities he can use to deal with the woman are the first and second bombs. After all, the range of movement of his mind cannot reach the woman.
“Trouble.” After sitting down on the second floor, Joey looked down at the fifth row on the right side.
He could feel that the gold experience coin was in that position. After a little observation, he quickly identified Ed’s figure. His movement of turning the coin was really easy to identify.
In addition to Ed, there are also bodyguards hiding in other places in the stands.
At the same time, Joey looked up and could see a large number of cameras above him. Although most of these cameras were used to film the game, some were also used to monitor people in the stands.
And in addition to Geralt’s bodyguard, the man on Ed’s right is also of high status and has bodyguards around him.
The bodyguard was a professional hunter, which was recorded in Joey’s information.
After all, he was going to meet Geralt. How could he be a complete unknown?
However, Joey is not worried that the other party will disrupt the situation. First, when the battle between Hisoka and Chrollo begins to affect the audience, then the other party will protect his employer and leave.
Another point is that Joey’s target is not his employer, and as long as the employer doesn’t have a brain problem, he won’t send his strongest bargaining chip to protect others in chaos.
As for whether the other party would abandon his employer, Joey felt that the chance was low. If it really happened, perhaps all he could do was teach the other party an unforgettable lesson.
While Joey was thinking and looking for the hidden bodyguard, three people appeared in the stands.
