Chapter 74: The Law of The Jungle

Pakunoda felt blood in her throat; it has been so long since the last time she was hurt.

She was even more surprised by Killua’s power. At this time, Killua took advantage of his time and directly tried to slash Pakunoda’s shoulder.

As a killer, he knew that you must end the fight in one attack. If you can’t, then you have to deal as much damage as you can.

Although his last blow wasn’t aimed to kill Pakunoda, it was enough to instantly make anyone lose power in their body.

Killua’s Purpose was to make Pakunoda lose her ability to move.

“Don’t be too smug, smelly kid.”

Pakunoda blocked Killua’s attack with her hand to his surprise.

She caught his wrist, but Killua didn’t give up as he sharpened his nails in his other hand and thrust it forward.

Since he was born, Killua received hellish training, and due to that training, he was able to change the muscle structure in specific parts of his body, making them stronger.

His five fingers trick is the same, and he made them resemble the claws of beasts.

Moreover, if he wanted to, he can take out even a beating heart from the chest instantly.

However, Pakunoda wasn’t an average person. She used her chest muscle to clamp Killua’s hand.

Killua’s hand plunged into her chest, completely unable to penetrate it, and it was stuck there.

“That is very dangerous, kid. I didn’t expect you to know how to change your muscle’s structure to increase your power. If I didn’t use Ten to defend, I might’ve been injured.” Pakunoda said with a sigh of relief.

‘Damn it. I can’t pull my hand out. I didn’t expect this woman to know the same technique as me. Is she an assassin?’ Killua thought as he was cornered.

But he could feel strange energy on Pakunoda’s body, and he heard her say she used Ten.

And suddenly, he remembers Gon talking about something like that, the energy of life in any living body that some people could harness to attack and defend, Nen.

This woman can also use Nen.

Killua stared sharply at Pakunoda while the latter said coldly.

“Little monster, now I will give you a choice: Obediently hand over your badge, or die here.”

“Dammit!!” Killua tried to break free but couldn’t move at all.

He can feel that if he continued to resist, Pakunoda would kill him.

“Don’t struggle boy, you have great potential, but you’re currently not my match. If you die here, it will be meaningless.” Pakunoda reminded Killua: “My patience is limited, don’t try to challenge my bottom line.”

Killua coldly snorted like a kid before e said: “I understand, let go, you hag.”

“Good.”

Pakunoda replied calmly: “You have a gunshot wound, so you can’t escape.”

“I see.” Killua nodded. Indeed, his left shoulder was injured, and if he doesn’t stop the bleeding, he will lose consciousness or even die.

It was impossible to escape this. Killua took out his badge before he said: “Wait.”

Pakunoda frowned: “What is it? Are you regretting your decision?”

Killua shook his head and said: “Actually, I have four badges. One of them is mine, and the others I got from the Amori brothers. Although I’m your target, I can give you the three badges which amount to three points, the same as my badge.”

Pakunoda didn’t think about it, and resolutely refused: “No, I just want your badge.”

“Why?” Killua asked in confusion.

Pakunoda said coldly: “Because you’re my target, I’m not interested in other badges.”

“Dammit!!” Killua didn’t expect Pakunoda to be so hard to deal with.

In other words, she is a woman with principle. She won’t take the badges of others, except for her target.

Even though he was unhappy, Killua could only hand over his badge.

As a professional assassin, it was shameful for him to be robbed by a woman.

But he had no other way, she was stronger than him, and as an Assassin, he knew that the Weak eats the strong, the law of the jungle.

The strong can take anything from the weak, and the weak could only obey.

Just like now, if he doesn’t hand over his badge, she would kill him.

It was unnecessary to sacrifice his life for his badge.

But to have him hand it over himself was an insult for him.

“I must get it back!” Killua thought secretly while clenching his fist.

But before that, Killua lowered his head and glanced at his shoulder. Although the bullet didn’t penetrate his entire shoulder, it was still inside his collar bone.

If he leaves it alone, his life will be in danger due to blood loss and possible infection.

But he can resolve the problem himself. In just two minutes, Killua removed the bullet with two fingers and stopped the bleeding.

The bullet was round, so it has no penetrative power. Which meant, from the start, Pakunoda didn’t want to kill him.

Killua already knew she didn’t want to kill him when she attacked because he didn’t feel any killing intent.

“Damn that woman, are you looking down on me?” Killua didn’t thank Pakunoda for her kindness; instead, he felt insulted. His pride received a huge impact.

“I must take back my badge from that woman, but I have to be careful about how to do it,” Killua vowed in his heart.

He knew that this was just the third day, and four days remained till the deadline. The time was enough, but his strength wasn’t enough.

Killua knew that even if he weren’t injured, he wouldn’t be able to fight Pakunoda.

Although he didn’t lack combat experience, he was far behind in terms of power.

The most severe disadvantage is that he didn’t train in Nen.

And now, he had a gun wound on his shoulder.

Although he removed the bullet and stopped the bleeding, he can’t use too much power, which will affect his recovery.

So, he can’t rely on himself to get back the badge.

“Well, who is the one hunting Pakunoda?” If I find him, maybe I can cooperate with him and get back my badge.”

But there is a problem, he still didn’t know who is targeting her, and it won’t be easy to find him.

Another point is, does the one hunting her have more power than Pakunoda?

“The ones who are stronger than she is, are Hisoka, Gittarackur, who is always with Hisoka, and the other two partners of this woman, and of course, Allan. Assuming that one of them targets Pakunoda, the only one who will cooperate with me is Allan. It’s obviously impossible for her partners to cooperate, and Hisoka and Gittarackur are difficult to deal with as well. So, the only one left is Allan. But I’ve got no idea if Allan was hunting Pakunoda or not.”

Killua could only follow Pakunoda, as it was useless to find Allan if he wasn’t targeting her.
