Chương 495: Chapter 476 ( Rumor - I )
Cloud stopped his footsteps when he felt a hostile glare, only to frown when he noticed how it had disappeared the same way it had appeared.
"Did something happen?" - Menchi asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"No, it's just that I felt like someone was watching us" - answered Cloud as he shook his head.
"A lot of people are watching us" - said Kyoko while shaking her head.
"But not everyone looks at us with such hostility" - replied Cloud as the women looked at each other, only to shake their heads and return to the hotel in silence.
Neon watched as they retreated in silence, only to get to thinking - "Ok, it's decided."
"What have you decided, Neon-sama?" - Kurapika asked as the other bodyguards looked at each other.
"I'll keep my words to myself for now" - Neon replied with a childish smile and indicated to her subordinates to accompany her for a while longer, after all, she didn't want Cloud to think that she was following him.

"Our plan almost went to shit" - said Feitan while frowning, only to let out a sigh of relief when he saw how Hisoka retreated silently - "For a moment I thought that crazy clown was going to attack the [Headhunter], but at least now we checked that he's following our orders."
"For now" - Phinks replied as he folded his arms - "Hisoka is a ticking time bomb, and it almost blew up in our faces."
"Actually, it wouldn't have been a bad situation for us either" - muttered Feitan as he started to think.
"What do you mean?" - Phinks asked as he looked at his old friend.
"That we could have used the battle between those two as a smokescreen to capture Neon Nostrade" - replied Feitan neutrally - "And if he [Headhunter] is strong, he could also kill Hisoka and save us a few troubles."
"Sounds like something I would have liked to see" - Phinks said with disdain, after all, he didn't consider Hisoka as an ally despite being a member of the spider.
"Anyway, we better go back to the base to tell our leader about this change in the situation" - said Feitan while pointing at the girl and then at the blond who was leaving - "From what I can see, she has a huge infatuation with the [Headhunter], that means she'll be close to him."
"Well, at least with that, Chrollo will give up with trying to get Neon Nostrade's ability" - Phinks said as he sighed with relief.
"For now" - Feitan added as he shook his head.
"Right, Chrollo is not the type to give up so easily, so rather than giving up, it's delaying the operation" - muttered Phinks as he sighed with regret - "anyway, we'd better get back."
"Right, we still have to complete the final preparations for the auction" - said Feitan as he grunted at the end, after all, he was one of those who would have to attend the event, and in formal wear, which was a pain in the ass.
Phinks was about to say something else, but fell silent when he heard a piece of information that left him thoughtful.
"It looks like the [Headhunter] was invited to the auction, and he agreed to go" - said a man while conversing with his friend.
"How are you so sure about this?" - The first man's friend asked as he frowned.
"Because I heard it from himself when he was conversing with those women" - replied the first man as he clicked his tongue in jealousy as he remembered the blond's three beautiful escorts - "It's an unfair for pretty boys to have such good lives."
"You can always have an operation to change your appearance" - replied his friend sarcastically - "Although I have to admit that it's true, the [Headhunter] is not only strong, but also popular and rich."
"We'd better change the subject before I start getting depressed" - muttered the first man as the two continued moving towards their destination.
". . ." - Feitan was silent for a few seconds before frowning.
"This seems too much of a coincidence" - said Phinks, who was also frowning - "Does he happen to know we're here, and did he order those men to give us that information?"
"I don't think so" - replied Feitan, although he was still skeptical - "Although I also have to admit that it's too much of a coincidence."
That the blond was talking about this just when they were in the area was too good to be true, though after a bit of research, more people began to comment on the subject. This caused the expressions of the two members of the [Ghost Brigade], to change slightly.
"Could it be true?" - Phinks asked as he started to think.
"I still think this is too convenient for us" - Feitan said while holding his frown - "Think about it, right after Pakunoda was discovered, this information spreads like the plague".
"Are you saying it's a trap?" - Phinks asked again while frowning.
"That's the problem, this kind of information spreads easily because the main focus is someone popular for the city of [Yorkshin]" - Feitan said while shaking his head - "So it's not impossible that this information is true."
"Shall we tell our leader?" - Phinks asked as he got to the heart of the matter.
"Normally I would say no, but this information will definitely reach our leader's ears, so it's better that we inform him earlier, so at least he will have more time to think whether we will continue with this operation, or not" - replied Feitan while sighing regretfully - "This is annoying, the situation is changing drastically with just a few seconds."
"You know what, we better let our leader take care of this because my head is already starting to hurt" - said Phinks as he grabbed the bridge of his nose - "Let's go"
"OK" - nodded Feitan as the two disappeared from the scene.
* * * * *
"Do you think they'll take the bait?" - Kyoko asked as she looked at the blond.
Cloud's group had reached their room and were in the heated pool relaxing after shopping all afternoon.
Starly was flying around [Yorkshin] next to Sapphire and Shio, Mimi was sleeping peacefully on one of the plastic chairs near the pool, and Sora was swimming happily in the calm waters of the pool.
"With how popular we are, I'm sure this information has to be known to everyone in [Yorkshin] by now!" - Kyōka replied as she took off her swimsuit and jumped naked into the pool.
"You should have even a modicum of decorum, Kyōka-san" - said Menchi while frowning. She was wearing a light blue swimsuit that matched well with her hair of the same color, and white skin.
"It's just the 4 of us, and it's not like I have to show modesty with Cloud when we've done a hundred crazy things" - Kyōka replied while shrugging her shoulders - "You should stop being so serious at all times, I mean, you could take this as a vacation after doing all that work."
"She has a point there" - said Kyoka as she lay down on a towel at the edge of the pool - "We have done a lot of things during the last weeks and we need to rest"
"Maybe they are right and I am very tense" - said Menchi as she walked to the pool and slowly got in - "Hmm ~"
"Heated pool, one of the greatest inventions of mankind" - said Kyōka as she floated on her back in the warm waters of the pool - "Don't you think so too?"
"Yes" - they all answered, even Menchi, who was starting to feel her body relax.
"Maybe we should go to a spa later" - said Kyoko excitedly, after all, she had never been to one of those relaxation places before.
"It doesn't sound like a bad plan, in fact, I think you could take us a month off so we can travel to relaxation places" - said Cloud as the women started to scream from excitement.
Even Kyōka was happy to have a long and well deserved break after all the 'adventures' they had had.
"What a great way to be ending the day" - said Kyoko as she jumped into the pool.
"But it's not over yet" - said Menchi unconsciously.
"Right, you have a point" - said Kyōka as she swam over to where the blond was and pulled down his shorts.
"!" - Menchi blushed when she saw this as she shot him an annoyed look.
"Kyōka-san! What the fuck are you doing!!!?" - Kyoko exclaimed with a red face, after all, she wasn't as straightforward and carefree as her traveling companion.
Even Cloud was surprised at how bold the blue-haired girl had been with her actions - ". . ."
"I was thinking that this would indeed be a good way to end the day" - Kyōka said in a carefree manner.
"Can't you see how Menchi-san is present here!!!?" - Kyoko exclaimed as she shot an annoyed glare at her friend.
"She can always join in" - Kyōka replied as she shrugged her shoulders, only to see as how Menchi fainted with her face red from embarrassment.
