The repeated victories against stronger foes and his willingness to embrace immense risk...
A normal person would not take the initiative to do such a thing.
But the existence of Perception gives Moses the motivation to do so.
Over time, the repeated challenges shaped his mindset, aligning him with those who fearlessly court danger, continually seeking to push their limits.
Shizuku didn't know the existence of Perception, so she couldn't understand why Moses always chose the hardest route.
Sensing her unfiltered confusion, Moses suddenly said, "Do you remember the person we met two days ago?"
"Yes, I remember."
When Shizuku heard this, the image of the man who exuded despair that she met the day before yesterday appeared in her mind.
…
The man looked a little neurotic, and gave people the feeling that he would go completely crazy at any time, like a desperate soul wandering in the world.
However, when he saw Moses, the man was like someone who had suddenly seen an oasis in the desert after struggling for a long time, and his slightly distorted facial features returned to normal in an instant.
"Help me, help me!"
"This is all the money I have…!"
The man rushed to Moses, fell to the ground, and took out all the money he had.
The money was just a pile of crumpled banknotes and dozens of coins, and the denominations of the banknotes were also not large.
"I know you're a Blacklist Hunter, I know you're a Blacklist Hunter..."
He pushed all the money in front of Moses, and then returned to his earlier deranged state, this time with bloodshot eyes. He whispered about something that had happened, with drool and snot unconsciously dripping from his face.
Moses and the others were completely confused at that time.
However, after carefully listening to the man's mumbling, they suddenly understood what was going on.
The man's family had been destroyed by the Phantom Troupe, and all of his immediate family members died had all been brutally killed. What's even more tragic is that before these immediate family members died, they all suffered inhumane torture from Feitan.
If the purpose is simply to obtain information, Pakunoda could have used her Nen Ability, Psychometry.
However, torture was Feitan's personal interest, so sometimes Feitan will take the initiative to take on the task of forcing out intelligence.
Although the man luckily escaped the disaster, the sight of his family's horrific deaths left him mentally shattered.
From then on, the man wandered around Glover City like a wandering ghost, just to find Moses and issue a commission.
Now-
The man had finally found Moses.
In his opinion, the only solution was to offer every cent he had to hire Moses to hunt down the culprit, without considering whether Moses would actually accept.
But Moses did accept his commission. He only took a single 100 Jenny coin from the pile of crumpled bills and coins.
"I've accepted your commission, but the person who tortured and killed your family... is worth only this much."
Leaving those words behind, Moses departed with Shizuku and Menchi.
…
Standing by the suite's floor-to-ceiling window, Moses observed Shizuku's slightly puzzled expression and said calmly, "Consider it one of my motivations."
He would not tell anyone about the existence of Perception.
Therefore, he used the story of the man they met two days ago as an explanation for Shizuku.
Shizuku nodded lightly and didn't dwell on it.
Anyway, no matter what Moses wanted to do, she wanted to be involved.
…
Five days later.
At the Floor Master's exclusive venue.
There was no one in the audience seats around, and Moses was the only one standing on the huge stage.
As Moses had requested, no tickets were sold for this match, and the arena was eerily empty.
There were no commentators or referees arranged in the venue.
However, since it will be a live broadcast, there are actually off-site commentators and referees.
Moses stood alone on the arena, while the massive screen above the stands displayed the match in progress.
On the surface, he was specifically chosen Hisoka as his opponent, but he knew that there would be more people coming, not just Hisoka.
"…"
The arena was deathly silent, the kind of quiet where even the drop of a pin could be heard.
However, various places outside the venue were bustling with people and it was as lively as if there's a festival.
Moreover, the broadcast images on the screen were not as quiet as in the venue, as there were voices of commentators hyping up the audience.
All eyes were glued to the screens, eagerly awaiting for the Roly-Poly, Hisoka's appearance.
But-
The situation was different from what they expected.
A figure appeared in the live broadcast screen, but it was not Hisoka, but a young and handsome man.
Some viewers recognized the man's identity and couldn't help but showed expressions of shock or fear.
Inside the venue.
Chrollo walked out slowly from the passage, and then under Moses's gaze, walked towards the arena step by step.
At the same time, figures appeared in the various entrances and exits of the venue.
They were the members of the Phantom Troupe, and they walked out of the passage almost at the same time, as if they had made an appointment.
In this way, an encirclement was vaguely formed, and the target was naturally Moses, who was standing alone on the arena.
Tap, tap, tap-
Chrollo stepped onto the arena, then stopped and looked at Moses in front of him.
The other members of the Phantom Troupe also walked along the aisle of the spectator seats and came to the guardrail of the front seats, leaning against the barriers as their gazes are fixed on Moses.
Among those gazes, the most common one was killing intent directed at Moses.
Moses quickly scanned the surrounding Phantom Troupe's members, and just as Hisoka had informed him, there were four new faces.
"Quite the show of force."
Faced with such an encirclement, Moses slowly looked towards Chrollo, his expression as calm as water.
Chrollo's expression remained neutral as he spoke in a calm, emotionless tone: "As you wished, we've 'accepted your invitation'."
"Good, then let's skip the meaningless pleasantries. All of you, just come at me together."
Moses nodded slightly and hooked his index finger at Kuroro.
When Moses heard what he said, a surge of murderous Aura mixed with anger suddenly erupted around him.
That is the Aura of Uvogin and others.
But Chrollo turned a blind eye to Moses's provocation, raised his hand and conjured his Nen Ability, Bandit's Secret, and said in a neutral tone:
"I understand the source of your confidence, and I have never carefully prepared a coffin for someone so seriously. You should feel honored."
"Oh?"
Moses raised an eyebrow slightly.
