CHAPTER 79 -Greed Island-

Third Person POV

"Since when the Phantom Troupe are on your side? Just because the boss favors you, doesn't mean we all do." While Feitan had his typical gloomy expression, the corner of one of his brows twitched subconsciously.

"Now, now, come on Feitan. Boss gave us the order and it's absolute." Shalnark chimed in.

"We'll be absolutely losing our heads if we continue standing here." Keeping his arms crossed, Phinks peered at Machi and then nudged his chin in Rin's direction. Machi moved forward with her Nen thread, knowing exactly what he was talking about, and began to treat her critical injuries.

During the time Machi was attempting to heal Rin's stomach, the black-haired girl turned her head towards the group of newcomers and requested a favor. "Please... help... them."

"Look. Just so you know, we're merely here to keep an eye on you. We couldn't care less about what happened to the boys. They didn't owe us anything." Phinks gave a blatant answer.

"But... you help me... even when there are no strings attached..." Rin spoke the words in between her breath. It seemed that she was too tired to speak. "Please... I beg you."

The look on her face was one of someone who had been hurt and covered in blood and bruises. Despite this, the anxiety reflected in her misty onyx eyes was not the fear of being vulnerable; rather, she was terrified of losing the people she cares about more than she cares about herself. That much was certain.

It only took one look at the forlorn girl's eyes to bring the Troupe's resolve tumbling down to its knees.

***********************

The black beast's long tail swung furiously, striking Gon in the face. He shielded himself with his forearm wrapped in Nen, yet he was still thrown several meters away crashing into a nearby tree.

'It's pointless.' Killua stood with his shaky legs. 'Even if Gon combined his attacks with mine, we can't even get close to this guy! Just what the hell is he?!'

'Besides... Gon's not even in a good shape to fight!' His sapphire eyes straining to catch a glimpse of Gon deep beneath the shattered tree trunk.

'I could say the same thing for me--' Blood started to pour from the numerous wounds Noveno's Shadow Beast had inflicted on him during their battle.

"Don't you think you're wasting time? At this rate, that girl's a complete goner." Noveno scoffed in disbelief at the sight.

Hearing him mentioning Rin just increased Gon's rage, Gon roared in fury as he struggled to keep his stance under the weight of the load on his back. His Nen was blaring wildly as if it would consume him whole.

Killua's jaw dropped when he saw his friend in such a frightening state. Although he had witnessed his fiery resolve in the past, he had never seen it to this degree. It was as if a devil had slowly snatched away his ability to think. At this point, he bet Gon can't feel any pain at all.

'Gon... Just what in the world happened to Rin?' He couldn't help but worry about what happened while he was away.

Noveno chuckled at the sight. "Give it up, kid. You're never going to win against me."

Gon screamed as he lunged directly at Noveno, completely ignoring the fact that the Black Panther was approaching him.

"GONNNN!!!!" Killua cried out at his insanity.

SMASHHHHH!!!

The enormous weight of a fist knocked the Shadow Beast to the ground, scattering dust everywhere. As the cloud of dust began to dissipate, two members of the Phantom Troupe appeared. Phinks retained his bloodied fist firmly to the ground. Beneath it, there was a protruded limb and smashed organs. The bloodied scene quickly dissipated into a swirl of black mist.
