Chapter 93: Checkmate

.....

October of the year 1996, the world witnessed the happening of a strange event, well, its specifically the Kakin empire that witnessed a terrorist attack one rarely seen especially considering it took place in the capital yet the terrorists were never found.

Even with how much attention the empire gave to finding the ones responsible, none were ever found.

And that declared the end of the Xi-Yu family leaving only one mafia family in the empire.

A family that took the chance to take over the leftover legacy the other family left and honoring their name by becoming the sole ruler of the underworld of the Kakin empire becoming a force to be reckoned with.

And even with all the suspiciousness, the empire has that they're the ones responsible, it's still just that.. a suspicious.

Especially with all the support from a certain prince though that in itself got opposition from two other princes whose rage never died down, after all, they lost an important ally while he gained a much stronger one.

The Heil-Ly family from that time on continued to be a financial force on top of simple brute force, the family's rise to power was in the simplest terms magnificent which are the results of several pieces lining together.

The necessary funds to expand, the necessary manpower which became available as more and more people joined the family meeting the requirement even with how strict the family in accepting new people, loyal and useful and most importantly extremely talented high ranking members and that especially extends to the three of Orilin, Cashew, and Luini.

At the center of all of this is the leader of the family, the one that put the pieces together creating a solid foundation ready to devour the world around it the second a chance became available, Morena Prudo.

Of course, there is the man behind the scene though he didn't do much in the overall expansion.

Instead, he went on his experimentation addiction while also spending most of his time with Morena and Alluka leaving only one time.

Even then, he only left for a few hours to Greed Island bringing the queen piece with the end goal of getting the kind piece for another checkmate.

And so we're in the month that represents both endings and beginnings, the beginning of a particular season that represents death, old age, pain, loneliness, despair, or an end. As well as renewal, rebirth, and hope, December.

The phone rang specifically the Zoldycks personal transmitter in Yasuo's pocket, he answered hearing his father Silva Zoldyck directly say the following.

"I need you to do me a favor, I have a job but I'm not sure if I will be able to do it alone since I already failed once because someone interfered. Also, if you accept I will need you to get here in less than an hour so what do you think?"

Silva let out a loud laugh with a cunning glint in his eyes, "You definitely did... You know when you refused to become the family.

I thought you will rarely take any assassination jobs only taking them when you need funds for your projects but you take missions all the time all over the world more than anyone in the family... And well, that's surprising."

"Well, I can, so why not? And it's a good thing." Stated Yasuo while stroking his earring as the faint clanking sound reverberated through the roof.

"It is... it definitely is. Do you know that they call you the Vanisher? Due to all of your targets vanishing without a trace... Well, most of them."

Silva crossed his arms together though no apparent emotions could be noticed on his expression well except the apparent pride in his eyes.

His expression suddenly turned serious as he started explaining, "Anyway, to the important matter.

A while ago, the southernpiece auction was held in Yorknew city as I'm sure you know but all of the items were stolen halting the auction so the Ten Dons hired us to investigate the one or the ones responsible."

He narrowed his eyes adding, "After using all our connections and investigating methods, I found that the ones responsible are the Phantom Troupe, a world-renowned gang of thieves with Class-A Bounties.

I talked to the customers since and informed them of their identity and they hired me to kill two of the gang, I guess that they want to send a message without losing all of their money."

"Anyway, I tracked them down and found that they split into groups so I found a group of two and faced them."

Yasuo interrupted him here with a smile of amusement, "Oh, you actually failed against little kids?"

Silva's face couldn't help but twitch though he didn't show any emotions on his face as he used his training as an assassin to hide what he is really feeling.

"Stop messing around. Anyway, I well half succeded killing one of them and wasn't far away from killing the other as they weren't that strong but someone interfered.

The gang's leader Chrollo Lucilfer and he is quite strong so it ended up being a battle of 1v2 and since according to what I judged his strength is equal to mine so I just retreated and followed them though I don't know if he noticed or not."

A bright light passed in Yasuo's eyes as the plotting began again looking for another checkmate, "What's your plan?"

Silva answered, "It's quite simple really since the gang split into groups each heading in a direction, I'm sure it will take few hours for backup to come so I just need you to stall their leader for a bit while I kill the other one and don't kill him.

The money I was paid is only enough for two members with similar strength to the ones I faced."

A glimmer of light passed in Yasuo's eyes as he curiously wondered, "Who is it? The other member?"
