Boss #2: It came from below!
It was a huge explosion underneath us!
Boss #3: I’m through with waiting!
I’m gonna go see for myself!
Bean: Everyone, calm down!
Moments ago, we were able to get in touch with the ten dons.
They wish to speak to you directly
through a live video feed.
The auction will proceed as planned,
so try to remain calm.
Please enter the auction hall on the tenth floor.
Boss #4: I’ll be fine. This is on the tenth floor.
I’ll be safe as long as I don’t go downstairs.
Boss #5: It’ll be all right. Her fortunes are 100% accurate.
Boss #6: As long as you heed the warning,
her fortunes won’t come true.
Nothing to worry about.
Don: Hey. How is everybody doing?
First, I apologize for being out of touch. Sorry.
Things got a little bit messy there,
but everything is fine now.
The leader of the infamous phantom troupe
- has been dealt with. - ( Crowd murmuring )
It’s only a matter of time
before we get to the rest of them,
so leave all the hunting to the professionals,
and enjoy the rest of your auction.

Tonight is a special occasion,
so we’ll be watching live,
and of course we look forward
to seeing some serious bidding.
Bean: You heard it for yourselves, gentlemen.
The ten dons will be watching a live feed of the proceedings.
Please concentrate on the auction.

Silva: He’s here.
( Rubble shifting )

Illumi: Oh. Were you two just fighting?
So is he still alive?
Just in the Nick of time?
Good. Give him a message for me.
We’ve disposed of the ten dons.
And tell him to wire the money to the account.
He knows the one.
( Zeno groans ) Up, we go.
Well, what a surprise.
Seems we both get to live another day.
Chrollo: But your mission...
Zeno: The ten dons were our clients, you see,
and so now that they’ve all been disposed of,
things have changed.
You are no longer our target.
Chrollo: Ah. I see.
You won’t get another chance like this.
Zeno: Perhaps. But you don’t really think
we’re in this business for the fun of it, do you?
It’s not as if we take any pleasure in killing,
and I certainly don’t want to work or die for nothing.
Chrollo: I was the one who commissioned illumi
to assassinate the ten dons. Did you know that?
Zeno: Of course I did,
but that is irrelevant, makes no difference.
We simply do the job we’re hired to do and nothing more.
Chrollo: I understand.
So can I ask you something?
Zeno: Hmm?
( Chorus vocalizing )
Chrollo: If we were to fight,
just the two of us, which of us would win?
( Zeno chuckles )
I would. There’s no question about it.
Though it would be a different story altogether
if you were actually trying to kill me.
Damn insolent brat.
Chrollo: So he knew.
( Sighs )
I’m so beat!
I’ve no chance of stealing their abilities.
Melody: So you want us to wait at hospital l?
Kurapika: Yes.
It’s more dangerous here than we thought.
We’ll send her over by ambulance in a short while.
Doctor: She’s just unconscious, so you shouldn’t have to worry,
but she’ll certainly be a lot safer at the hospital
than she is here. Make the preparations.
Franklin: Looks like you had fun, boss.
You doin’ okay?
Chrollo: Yeah.
Just a little tired. That’s all.
Shalnark: You did go up against the zoldyck family.
Shizuku: I wish i’d been there to see.
Watching how those two fought you
would have been very informative.

We’ll stick to the plan. Also...
Don’t touch the ambulance that’s carrying the girl.

they would have done so on its way here.
Stray bullets shouldn’t be a concern anymore either.
