"So let me get this straight, they kidnapped the boss and you didn't pursue him because Paku got hit?" Tenshi asked exasperated and Nobunaga nodded,

"That's reasonable." Tenshi surprisingly said,

"Nobunaga." Tenshi said as he walked away from the group and Nobunaga followed him,

"What do you want?" Aksed Nobunaga,

"What happened for real? Tell me the truth this time." Tenshi said calmly and Nobu sighed,

"Well the chain user threatened to kill the boss if we sent more than one member to do the exchange between our hostages and the boss, and we trusted Paku and her judgment..." Nobu tried to explain and Tenshi walked away but he received a phone call and Paku immediately walked there,

Tenshi looked at them, they were having a conversation with the chain user and trying to free the boss, he stayed there looking at them for a while until Paku passed him the phone, he was eating ice at the moment and was just trying to relax, and focus on the issue at hand, you need to be relaxed to quickly find a way to solve huge issues,

"Hi." Tenshi said with a bored and disinterested voice,

"Identify yourself." Kurapika harshly replied with a slightly trembling voice,

"Ask that to the boss, he will reply." Tenshi said and Kurapika sighed,

"Are you trying to play with me?" Asked kurapika as he looked at chrollo smirking,

"Oh yeah, yes that is correct." Tenshi replied still disinterested, bored and with an annoying tone,

"You don't get it do you?! They said that you're going to be the responsible of the hostages, you better not fuck this up!" Said Kurapika really angered,

"Uohh, ahahah, or? Whatcha gonna do? Kill the boss so that you and all of your friend are gonna die?" Tenshi replied trying to not laugh,

"You're not the one in command now, and no you're not going to hear anything from the hostages." Tenshi said as he hang up the phone.

"You guys were too good with him, you need to keep him doubting of himself and of his plan, if you follow everything he has to say then you're just gonna step on his trap, I think that we should all go there with the hostages still alive, then we ask him to exchange the boss with the hostages, and then when he gives us the boss we reveal that the hostages are dead and that those were copies of their bodies made by kortopi and manipulated by Shal, or maybe manipulate the real hostages and remotely kill them after the exchange is over, at that point the chain user would be dead because he would be totally alone against us, either way he's clearly panicking and has lost control we need to fucking pressure him." Tenshi said with a tense smile, he was like a shark smelling blood,

"Okay but please breathe..." Nobunaga replied with a concerned look.

And Tenshi went outside, he slowly walked outside of the hotel and watched the sky just to laugh at the memories of what was a past life, he remembered his little self feeling free while watching the night sky, then he remembered when he went to Yorknew city for the first time, he was with Phinks,Chrollo, Machi and Shalnark, he remembered that they needed to go to this certain club for god knows what reason, probably not even something important, he could clearly remember that all of the people there were acting cautious around them, and that he just wanted to buy some drinks, he wished he could just go back to those old times.

Meanwhile inside the car

"Who the fuck they think they are?" Kurapicka asked visibly angered,

"Who was that speaking?!?" Kurapicka asked to Chrollo as he lightly smirked,

"Tey, he's reliable, I trust his judgment, he will beat you, he isn't afraid of risking it all unlike you." Chrollo said with a calm soothing tone as Kurapicka punched him,

"I'm gonna kill you, you'll regret this." He shouted,

"Kurapicka I'm gonna beat your ass if you do." Leorio screamed back,

"You won't kill me, you left your precious friends behind and even if you do, the spider won't stop, I have no value as an hostage and you just realized it didn't you?" The boss replied not concerned in the slightest with what was going on,

"He's not lying... he's not afraid.." Melody explained,

"We come from a place where you're dead since birth, no one inside the spider is afraid of dying, we are afraid of living without a purpose." The boss said while rolling his eyes and looking at the ceiling imaging the stars above it, and Kurapicka remember what Hisoka told him about Tey and their contrasting powers, wondering if he could take him 1v1 if he came with the hostages and tried to fight him.

The spider reunited at the hall of the hotel, they were almost all there trying to figure out a plan,

"Oh god fuck them kids, you two again!" Said Phinks in disbelief,

"Okay, okay I want to talk to the kids, I want to hear what they have to say." Tey said with a calm tone as he hunched down to get closer to their faces,

"Gon, Killua, what happened? Why were you guys following the Boss?" He asked with a serious tone,

"None of your business!" Gon snapped back and Killua didn't reply,

"Don't try me, right now I could kill you two if I wanted, let's try to be civil." Tey replied,

"It's useless." Nobunaga answered,

"We need to call the chain user then, call him again." Tenshi replied,

"Well kids so, what's the ideal situation for you two? Our death as a whole?" Tenshi asked calmly,

"No! We hate you guys, but I don't want to see more deaths." Gon replied and Killua nodded,

"See? It was useful, we might agree on something." Tenshi said before walking away,

"We should go all together." Feitan said,

"That would be the correct move yeah." Tenshi replied, but he still looked indecisive,

Meanwhile Phinks was on the phone with Kurapicka,
"About that rule, there was a mess before, the tried to escape and now they have many broken bones." Phinks said, before getting hanged up on, And calling back Kurapicka to apologize,

"This is fucking terrible, only one idiot on this planet can make me laugh in a situation like this one."  Tenshi said while holding a chuckle and shaking his head dumbfounded while Phinks was getting smacked,

"This is for you two." Nobunaga said as he passed the phone to Tenshi who hold it up for the hostages,

"Kurapicka we're fine, but they're talking about coming all together to kill you." Gon immediately shouted,

"Heyo chill out lil kid, now listen to me chain dude, right now your friends are in front of me, I could kill them or beat them up good and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it, and then we could kill you and the people with you, but I won't, because that's not correct towards some of my comrades, I know that this was a last minute plan, you didn't initially want to capture the boss, but you did to exchange Chrollo with Gon and Killua, listen to me Kurapicka san, don't ever dare to threaten any of us or the boss again your bluff doesn't hold up, kill anyone and I swear that I won't stop until you and your friends are all dust." He said as he hang up,

"Kids this isn't a game, but your friend is concerned about you guys as much as I'm concerned towards the boss, and if that's true then nobody is gonna get hurt, and if nobody gets hurt we can end this for now at least." Tenshi said to the kids,

"Let's get back to the base there's nothing to do here." Tenshi said as he held the kids by their arms,
