Yorknew City!

At the Flesh Collector's Mansion

At some point after parting ways with his friends, Kurapika succeeds in finding an agency specializing in providing rich and famous people with bodyguards and assistants. However, he is immediately told that despite his Hunter License, he is not qualified for such work because he can’t see something beside her. The agent says that his Hunter Exam isn’t finished and tells him to come back once he can do so. Kurapika returns at the beginning of August and accepts an offer to be hired as a bodyguard. In the Nostrade’s mansion, he meets Melody, Baise, Tocino, Basho, and Squala. The head bodyguard welcomes the applicants and sets a challenge for them to acquire one item from a list. However, he also tells them that they must escape alive, and eleven hooded assailants armed with guns and swords suddenly attack the group. With the use of his Dowsing Chain, Kurapika defends himself and observes the situation from above. He notices that Tocino is the only one who is not being attacked. Kurapika jumps towards him and puts a knife to his neck, ordering him to stop the attack. The eleven assailants fall empty to the floor, but Kurapika still suspects that another infiltrator is involved. Using his Dowsing Chain and pointing out Squala, Baise, Melody, and Basho confirm this by using their own Nen abilities. The four applicants then escape from the mansion.

Gathering Of Heroes

You, Kurapika, Basie, Basho, and Melody are hired as bodygaurds by Dalzollene, and their first task is to escort their boss, Neon Nostrade, to Yorknew City. As Neon arrives in Yorknew, she uses her ability to read the fortunes of several Mafia members, which continues to increase the wealth and prestige of the Nostrade Family. Elsewhere, the members of the Phantom Troupe gather together, and their leader Chrollo gives the order for them to steal everything at the Underground Auction and to kill anyone who gets in their way.
