The Phantom Troupe's primary goal now is to locate Moses and use the combined strength of the entire group to eliminate him.
This approach is actually not in line with the Phantom Troupe's traditional modus operandi.
They have a detached attitude toward death, or perhaps it's better to say they've long been prepared to embrace it.
Therefore, when dealing with similar incidents, they basically adopt a 'one-on-one' approach.
This can be seen from the situation in the original work when Chrollo challenges Silva and Zeno alone, and when the Phantom Troupe goes to Meteor City to clean up the Chimera Ants.
At that time, Feitan was clearly at a disadvantage and seemed to be in peril, but the other members watching the battle had no intention of helping. Instead, they were discussing who should take over after Feitan died.
However, in this crusade against Moses, the Phantom Troupe completely abandoned the 'one-on-one' style of action and instead adopted an unprecedented approach of mobilizing the entire group.
The reason why they attach so much importance to it is not only because Moses's Nen Ability, which requires multiple people to restrict it, but also because they harbor deep apprehension toward him.
The painful lesson at the Museum Exchange Conference is still engraved vividly in their minds today.
While the Phantom Troupe is actively seeking Moses's whereabouts, Moses hasn't been making a concerted effort to conceal his movements.
It's been half a month since he arrived at Glover City.
During this period, Moses commissioned Biscuit to teach Kurapika some advanced Nen Techniques, and asked Kastro to serve as Kurapika's sparring partner.
Thanks to this arrangement, it only took Kurapika half a month to become a Floor Master in Heavens Arena.
But his greater gain was the improvement in advanced Nen Techniques and experience in Nen Battles.
During this period, Moses did not show up in public or go to the Heavens Arena. He only followed Kurapika's matches through live broadcasts.
Even so, Moses did not intentionally hide his identity in daily life, so even though his height and appearance have changed in the past two or three years, he was still recognized by some die-hard fans.
The news of Moses's appearance in Glover City quickly reached the organizers of Heavens Arena.
In response to this, the Heavens Arena's organizers visited Moses directly and begged him to return to Heavens Arena's stage after he had disappeared for several years, in order to satisfy the fans who had been waiting for many years.
Considering the intelligence on the Phantom Troupe's movements that Hisoka sent regularly, Moses thought the time was right and agreed to the request of the organizer's request.
Originally, the Heavens Arena's Floor Master had to fight at least one match within a specific period of time, otherwise, they would lose their Floor Master's status.
Since Moses had disappeared for two or three years, according to the rules, he should have been stripped of his status as a Floor Master long ago.
However, in order to retain Moses, the organizers of the Heavens Arena opened a back door for him without hesitation, so that Moses did not need to abide by the rules of 'joining a match'.
But Moses has not appeared for many years after all, and with the emergence of up-and-coming stars such as Hisoka and Kastro, if he continues to remain inactive like this, the popularity he created in the beginning will continue to decline until he is forgotten by everyone.
This is the result that the organizers of Heavens Arena least want to see.
Fortunately, Moses agreed to the request to fight on Heavens Arena, which made the Heavens Arena's organizer extremely excited, and all kinds of sensational promotional campaigns immediately emerged in their heads.
Being in such an excited and happy state, they naturally agreed to Moses's subsequent request very readily.
So Moses returned to the floor in Heavens Arena that belonged to him alone.
After arriving at his exclusive floor, Moses was surprised to find that all the facilities, including the spacious, luxurious room reserved for him alone, were impeccably maintained.
Moses casually asked the staff and found out that during the years he was away, the organizers of the Heavens Arena considered that he might come back at any time, so they sent people to clean the place regularly.
This gesture left Moses feeling reflective.
'Perhaps this is what it means to carry the weight of being a 'celebrity'.'
"What a huge kitchen!"
As soon as Menchi stepped into the suite, her attention was immediately attracted by the luxurious kitchen.
While Menchi ran off to explore the kitchen, Shizuku lay down on the only big bed in the room without hesitation, relishing the soft embrace of the mattress.
Moses was not interested in the environment of the suite. He went straight to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and stared down at the tall buildings and the hustle and bustle of traffic below.
"Five days..."
Moses murmured to himself.
He agreed to the Heavens Arena's organizers' request to compete on stage, but also made several requests:
1. His opponent would be Hisoka Morow.
2. The fight would take place on the stage exclusive to Floor Masters.
3. No spectators are allowed and no commentator is needed.
The organizers of the Heavens Arena had no confidence to refuse the three requests raised by Moses and agreed to all of them.
Their only request is that Moses agree to broadcast the match live, otherwise the 'Return of the King' marketing campaign will be meaningless.
Although Moses initially wanted to refuse, when he thought about the fact that the [Path of Legend] required fame to condense the beads, he agreed to the request of the organizer of the Heavens Arena.
With that agreement, the event was set.
It is worth mentioning that the efficiency of the Heavens Arena's organizers is first-class.
Within a few seconds after confirming the event, they did not consider whether they could contact Hisoka or not, and immediately pushed the promotional methods they had prepared in advance to the public.
In less than a day, everyone in Glover City knew that Moses had returned, and would be on stage to compete with the most popular Hisoka the Roly-Poly in five days.
This extremely explosive news plunged the entire Glover City into a carnival.
"So Moses is this famous here."
Shizuku came to Moses's side and looked through the floor-to-ceiling window at an airship not far away.
From her vantage point, she could see a massive poster hanging under the airship. On the poster were old photos of Moses, accompanied by bold, eye-catching promotional text.
"Uhh…"
Moses also noticed the airship flying over the city and smiled helplessly.
'The publicity methods and efficiency of Heavens Arena are really unmatched...'
'I had just agreed to compete on stage, and now they already had airship ads flying around.'
"Moses, are you sure?"
Shizuku tilted her head to glance at Moses's profile and suddenly asked.
What she was asking about, of course, was the action against the Phantom Troupe.
Moses knew what Shizuku was asking, but he didn't answer. Instead, he responded with a question of his own, "Do you mean victory, or complete annihilation?"
"Is there any difference between the two?"
Shizuku tilted her head in puzzlement.
Moses replied calmly: "Yes, if it's just victory, I am sure of it. But if it's annihilation, to be honest... I'm not sure, and I might even lose my life in the process."
"I see."
Shizuku nodded, and immediately said bluntly: "But I don't want to see Moses die at the hands of the Phantom Troupe, so if you can settle for less, isn't that fine too?"
"Of course, but what I want is to annihilate the Phantom Troupe completely."
Moses said, his eyes fixed on the airship changing its course in the sky.
