"You must be Luna?"
The moment Allen arrived in the ground-floor lobby, he immediately locked onto his target.
After all, she was the only Nen user in the entire lobby. Unless he was mistaken, she should be the woman who had called him a few days prior.
"That's right. I truly never thought the person who hired me would be you!"
The woman ran her hand through her long, golden hair in a deliberately alluring gesture, curling her lips into an expression of interest.
She appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, standing over 1.75 meters tall. She was dressed in a white shirt, a black suit jacket, and a matching skirt suit, with six-inch high heels on her feet and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on her face.
Someone who didn't know better might mistake her for a professional woman, like a secretary or a white-collar worker.
However, Allen could clearly see the Ten on her body, and he immediately asked, his tone uncertain, "You know me?"
"Hm! Of course! Allen the Divine Arrow! You're a celebrity now in the entire Hunter and Nen user community. After all, it's not just anyone who can, with crushing superiority, slaughter seventeen Heavens Arena Floor Masters and wipe them out in mere minutes," the woman, who introduced herself as Luna, replied meaningfully.
"Divine Arrow? What the heck is that? Is that the nickname people gave me?" Allen couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.
Although he had long anticipated that the "war" with the Floor Masters would inevitably attract a lot of attention, he never expected to suddenly become a so-called "celebrity."
After all, according to his original plan, it was a classic case of "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys."
His goal was to let all those with malicious intent understand the consequences of trying to play dirty tricks on him, which is why he hadn't cleared out the onlookers before the fight.
With spectators present, the spread of information was inevitable.
The problem was, a nickname like "Divine Arrow" was far too cliché and chuunibyou.
Luna, however, clearly didn't think so, her eyes brimming with undisguised excitement and curiosity: "Absolutely! It's because the power and speed of the arrows you shoot are so astonishing! So much so that many powerful Star Hunters believe they could neither catch nor dodge them. Besides that, there are also some people discussing exactly what that massive, dragon-like red Nen Beast was and what its abilities are. In any case, it's an honor to meet you."
"Let's not waste time on meaningless chatter and get straight to the point. Here are over a dozen lists, profiles, and last known locations for B- and A-rank wanted criminals. Use your ability to help me find all of them. In return, I will transfer one-third of the target's bounty into your account for every one you catch."
Clearly, Allen didn't want to waste a moment, immediately changing the subject and handing over his phone.
To be precise, he didn't care how the Hunter community or the Nen user community discussed or evaluated him.
He simply wanted to seize every second to continuously strengthen his power, preparing for the imminent Chimera Ant army.
This special species from the Dark Continent, in both quantity and quality, would be more than enough to feed his famished Red Dragon and allow it to evolve to the next stage.
Moreover, the life essence condensed by the Chimera Ant is far beyond what human Nen users can offer.
Therefore, the appearance of the Chimera Ant army might be a catastrophic outcome for the few nations where they land, but for Allen, it was an absolute feast.
Through this feast, he would transcend the limits of humanity and successfully reach the pinnacle of the world's Nen users.
"No problem! Please give me a moment."
Luna took the phone without a word and turned to slip into the women's restroom around the corner.
About five minutes later, she walked out holding a standard map of the human world, handing it and the phone directly to Allen: "Done! The red dots on the map are the locations of the wanted criminals you need to catch, and the blue dot is your current location. This map will refresh every half hour and will only disappear once all targets have been eliminated."
"Precise tracking and location? Your ability is truly convenient," Allen said, a look of surprise on his face.
While Nen abilities are said to have infinite possibilities, an ability that directly marks people on a map seemed too unbelievable, almost like satellite navigation and GPS.
"No, it's not that my ability is convenient, but that your strength is great enough, far exceeding these wanted criminals by several or even dozens of times. Otherwise, I would only be able to narrow it down to a rough area at most," Luna patiently explained.
Because in the moment of activating her ability, no one could recognize more clearly than her just how powerful and terrifying the seemingly handsome, somewhat androgynous young man before her was.
He might be more terrifying than all the Nen users she had worked with combined!
Especially the depth of his Aura, like a bottomless ocean, which didn't seem like something a human could cultivate.
"I see. Your ability must be to tightly link the hunter and the prey. If the hunter is stronger, the tracking range will be smaller and more precise. Conversely, if the prey is stronger, the tracking range will be extremely wide, or you might not be able to confirm their whereabouts at all..."
Based on the small amount of information provided, Allen immediately guessed the principle, limitations, and drawbacks of the ability.
Undeniably, for him, this power was the best aid at the current stage, allowing him to quickly sweep up the remaining active Nen user wanted criminals.
"You guessed correctly. But there's one more thing I need to explain. This tracking is actually two-way. That is, when you approach your prey to a certain distance, an identical map will instantly appear in their hand. From there, it's up to both of you to rely on your own skills to see who gets the last laugh." Luna gently adjusted her glasses and added.
"So, what is that distance? A few kilometers? A few hundred meters? Or a few dozen meters?" Allen asked, rubbing his chin.
The stronger the ability, the more severe the restrictions—this was a principle repeatedly emphasized throughout Hunter x Hunter, so he was not surprised by the current situation.
"Hmm, given the difference in power between you and these wanted criminals, it should range between one to two hundred meters and fifty meters. Some of the more powerful A-rank criminals might activate it at three hundred meters," Luna estimated briefly, immediately giving a relatively specific number.
"Understood. Thank you very much. I will transfer the money directly to your account shortly. Also, once these are dealt with, I will contact you again."
With that, Allen gave a slight wave of his hand, taking Bouldro with him, ready to first take down the closest wanted criminal—Zebulun the "Ghoul."
As the nickname implies, this guy was branded the "Ghoul" because he would eat a part of his victim's body after killing them.
Moreover, over ninety percent of the people who died by his hand were young and beautiful women. He was the kind of scum whose perversions were both mental and behavioral, and dying ten thousand times wouldn't be enough to atone for his sins.
Watching the two walk further and further away until they vanished from sight, Luna immediately pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
The moment the call connected, she instantly spoke in an excited tone: "Partner! Guess who hired me this time? It's Allen! That's right! The Allen the Divine Arrow who's been making such a splash on the Hunter website recently! My god! He only looks like he's in his teens! I can't believe he can train his Nen to such a terrifying level at such a young age. Mm-hmm! Yes! I touched him! I can track his location at any time now. Got it! I'm coming to find you right away..."
