Chapter 159: The Three Major Gangs of Kajin
Chapter 159 "The Three Major Gangs of Kakin"
August 7, 1998.
The journey across the Urubian Continent on foot took more than a month. Under the guidance of Xiyou, Germain and Kurapika finally arrived at the agreed port town.
The fishy smell of the port town came from afar, and carts full of sea fish sprinkled with ice cubes and ice chips passed by Germain and Kurapika.
Xiyou told the two to wait nearby, and he left quickly.
People came and went on the fish street, all busy with their own business, shouting to compete with each other to attract more customers.
Germain thought for a while, calmly picked up his mobile phone, sent a message to the "Station Carriage Group" to report his safety, and then thought about it and sent a text message to another person.
I don't know what effect these two text messages will have in the future.
Kurapika stood beside him with a suitcase in his hand.
Half a month ago, he still carried the "Fire Eye Container" and wrapped it with layers of thick cloth, holding it in his hand like a birdcage.
However, considering the long journey, it is inconvenient to carry the "Fire Eye", so Germain helped Kurapika deposit it in a "Hunter Association Branch".
Yun Gu and Zhi Xi will first take the "Fire Eye" from the "Hunter Association Branch" and send it back to the mansion base. After that, the master and apprentice will leave the mansion base and start traveling.
If Germain is not wrong, their destination is likely to be the Sky Arena, where Zhi Xi will start a new round of training.
Under Kurapika's encouragement, Zhi Xi's "Nen ability training progress" has become much faster than the original timeline, and it is likely that he will reach the 200th floor faster.
And Kurapika is even less likely to forget to practice.
As long as he reaches a safe place, Kurapika will start practicing, even in the streets now. In this environment, he also has a way of practicing in this environment.
Today, Kurapika, under the guidance of Germain, has progressed to the point of honing "Chan Jue Lian Fa Zhou Yin Ning Yuan Jian Liu Hard", "Ring Finger Chasing Soul Chain", "Binding Middle Finger Chain", and "Healing Thumb Chain".
He can already stably materialize the "chain" and wrap it around his hand. To outsiders, it looks like a real chain.
Such disguise is actually a good thing for Kurapika, and sometimes it increases the cost for the enemy to judge his "Nen ability system".
However, Kurapika certainly will not use the ability of the "chain" in public.
He uses "circle" to detect the surroundings more, and uses "flow" to guide the "Nen" in his body, doing basic training.
The teacher often said that this is a necessary practice, and they should be trained to be as instinctive as blinking and breathing, so that they can be one step ahead of others before the battle.
Kurapika deeply agrees.
He is not very skilled now, but sooner or later he will be able to achieve the level required by the teacher.
After a while, Xiyou, who had been away for a quarter of an hour, came back.
"Let's go. I've checked over there. There's no problem. Everything is ready there. We can set off as soon as we get there."
So, Germain and Kurapika followed Xiyou through narrow alleys, walked into secluded corners, and finally came to a desolate seaside.
Not far away there was an old port, surrounded by weeds and vines, and garbage was everywhere.
A group of people in casual clothes were scattered on the old port, originally staring at all directions vigilantly. When Germain and his group appeared, they all focused on them.
All their hands were in their pockets, and they were probably carrying pistols, Germain made a judgment.
And behind them, a small cargo ship with a rusty hull was docked on the shore, loaded with many wooden boxes, and the flag of the Kakin Empire was flying on the mast.
"This is an abandoned port." Xiyou explained, "The people who picked us up loaded the goods and deliberately came here to wait for us to get on the ship."
Germain nodded and observed the group of people who came to greet them. It was said that they were members of one of the three major gangs in the Kakin Empire.
During this period of time, as long as the "Ten Old Men" can be involved in the field of transportation, their members are guarding. In order to save trouble, Xiyou asked the gangsters of the Kakin Empire for help.
Xiyou knows a lot of people in this regard, or in other words, the resources of Biyander or Palliston are very useful.
German and his party quickly boarded the cargo ship smoothly under the watchful eyes of a group of gangsters.
Xiyou greeted the captain, and then the captain gave orders to let all the gangsters get on board.
After a while, the cargo ship slowly sailed away from the abandoned port.
German and Kurapika were in one room, and Xiyou was in the next room.
They will spend a week on the ship, waiting for the cargo ship to cross the ocean diagonally and arrive at the Kakin Empire.
The voyage at the beginning was indeed not very adaptable. Kurapika vomited several times, but then he slowly felt nothing, and walking on the deck felt like walking on flat ground.
The cargo ship did not move forward all the time, but would stop at a nearby island for a period of time every day.
These are fixed routes, so there are usually people on the islands, and they can also replenish fuel and food, and occasionally purchase some rare goods.
On the first night of the voyage, Xiyou revealed to Germain and Kurapika the gang that the cargo ship belonged to.
"Now the gang territories of the six continents are in a mess, and it is the "credit" of you two. Of course, it is also a problem that the "Ten Old Men" cannot suppress those ambitious people."
"The internal strife has not been settled, and the external forces are also expanding wildly."
"The three major gang families of the Kajin Empire, the "Xiu Wu Family", the "Ai Yi Family", and the "Jia Xia Family" have extended their hands outside the Kajin Empire and have had many conflicts with the "Ten Old Men."
"However, how much territory the "Kajin Three Major Gangs" can really take over depends on their own abilities."
"Which family is sending us to the Kajin Empire now?" German became slightly interested. He sat on the chair and did not stop flipping through the book.
"Of course it is the "Xiu Wu Family." Xiyou paused and explained, "Among the "Kajin Three Major Gangs", only they are relatively easy to cooperate with."
"As for the "Jia Xia Family", many members of this family admire the style of the "Phantom Troupe". "
"If you were still a member of the "Phantom Troupe", you could get in touch with them, but it's definitely not possible now."
Hearing this, Kurapika, who was originally looking at the scenery outside the window, couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.
He also knew about the grudge between the teacher and the "Phantom Troupe", and he was not surprised in this regard.
What surprised him was that the "Gasha Family" actually admired the "Phantom Troupe" and felt disgusted.
"Finally, it's the "Aiyi Family." Xiyou scratched his ears with his little finger and crossed his legs in a very relaxed manner. "They are simply a group of lunatics, and they do things with almost no bottom line."
"If we cooperate with the "Aiyi Family", it is possible that they will suddenly attack us halfway. That is not a problem that money can solve. They just have such a hobby."
"The leaders of the "Kakin Three Major Gangs" are all "second-tier people", that is, "illegitimate children of the royal family of the Kakin Empire". They will be left with two scars on their faces with a blade as a mark when they are born. "
"Behind them are three princes from the royal family of the Kajin Empire. It is precisely because of the close relationship between the "Kajin Three Major Gangs" and the royal family of the Kajin Empire that they have grown to their current size."
"In summary, the only family we can cooperate with at present is the "Xiu Wu Family". Ah... it's already this time..."
Xiyou looked up at the wall clock, stood up from the sofa, and stretched his muscles.
"It's getting late, let's go to bed early. This week may be a bit boring, but we can only make do with it. After arriving in the Kajin Empire, it will be much better."
He touched the golden hoop on his head and went back to his room slowly.
