After we brought kids back, they stood in front of the team, except Lucilfer went out to hunt. Lucilfer was Skill Hunter. With her Hatsu, she would steal others skills. At the moment, she was after the prophecy power of Neon, the daughter of the Mafia Boss had. With this power, Lucilfer was going to cut off the Mafia's intelligence and bring a new source of intelligence to the Troupe.
Killua and Gon looked at the people sitting in the shabby building and recognized Hisoka. Gon had a history with her. Killua understands the situation they were in and pretends ignorantly, but Gon wasn't smart enough, so he did the voice of recognizing someone. He regretted just after he did that voice, but it was too late.
"What is it? Is there someone you know?" asked Nobunaga, looked at the people inside the Troupe and thought who they might know.
Gon started to sweat with regret, didn't know what to say, but Killua jumped in and saved him. Killua was better at deception and lies.
"Ah, no!" he said rubbing back of his head. Then focused on Shizuku and pointed her, because Gon had an arm-wrestling match with her. A few days back, Gon, Killua, and Leorio started a tournament where one can join with some amount of money, and one had to win against Gon in arm-wrestling to win the jewelry worth few millions. Shizuku was strongest join the tournament and made Gon use all his power, otherwise, they wouldn't remember a random girl between thousands of applicant.
"Oh! The girl from that time," said Killua, focusing on Shizuku.
Killua's deception worked, and Phinks asked "Oh? You know them Shizuku?"
Shizuku couldn't remember them, making Killua nervous but Feitan remembered and explained the situation to others. Shizuku was a gullible girl. Once she forgets something, she would never remember. But since the others remembered, the problem solved.
When Nobunaga learned that Shizuku lost an arm-wrestling match to Gon, he also challenged Gon. And Gon lost more than 50 times to him. Back of his hand was covered with blood, but there was nothing he can do. Each time Nobunaga asked another one and brutally smash Gon's hand to the ground.
"Hey, what is my rank in arm-wrestling among the spiders?" asked Nobunaga, smashing Gon's hand once more.
"Seventh or eighth, you are not weak but not strong either," said Machi.
"Right. Strongest was this guy called Uvogin. But it seems, he was killed by the Chain user." said Nobunaga.
"We already said, we don't know who that is," exclaimed Killua.
"Kid if you talk without permission once again," said Nobunaga while smashing Gon's hand even more fierce, "I'll kill you."
"He was an Enhancer. Simple minded and straightforward, he loved fighting..." Nobunaga started to reminisce Uvogin. His eyes formed tears, and his voice started to weaken. Who could have guessed a samurai, one from Troupe, would cry over a dead friend.

Pakunoda hasn't told them yet, what she saw. Probably waiting for Leader to come back. That is why Nobunaga still wanted to learn something from Gon and Killua, but Gon's face changed when he saw Nobunaga's current state. His eyebrows knit, his hand clenched.
"I don't know who Chain user is, but even if I knew I wouldn't tell you. I always thought you were heartless monsters, but as I see now, you can shed tears for a friend. Why don't you use a fraction of this grief for the people you have killed." he said and smashed Nobunaga's hand to the ground, destroying the boulder they were having arm-wrestling.
Feitan flashed to the Gon's side and twisted his arm to his back while holding him on the ground. Killua was about to save him, so I flashed and put my Kunai on his neck to stop him. "Stop, or I will take your head," I said with low voice. A drop of blood dripped from the tip of my Kunai, Crow was swearing inside.
Feitan was about to interrogate Gon in his way, and even Gon couldn't handle it. Nobunaga tried to stop him, but Feitan was angry to be ordered by Nobunaga, and they were about to clash. Spiders weren't allowed to fight between themselves and had to flip the coin to decide something controversial. Nobunaga took out the coin and flipped it. The result was Feitan's win, so he got to interrogate kids.
If he were to interrogate them, both of them would lose to the will of life. Hisoka was pondering as well. "There is no need to break them. I can try to my new technique on them." I said. Crow told me in Original Series coin would be on their favor to let them go.
I didn't wait for anyone to answer and used my Mind Search Jutsu on the Gon while suppressing his will with my Conquerer's Haki. "Gon Freecss, Enhancer, and Pro Hunter. He is in the Yorknew City to buy the game called "Greed Island" somehow related to his father. He has no idea about the Chain user." I said, some unrelated facts, and walked to the Killua and touched his forehead.
"Killua Zoldyck. Transmuter and failed to become Pro Hunter. He is here in Yorknew City to help his friend. He has some vague memory on Chain user, but it is not that useful." I said. Saying his family might save them from danger because Killua's family were in the assassination business for ages. Even Troupe used their services and clashed with them. It may hinder them from killing those two. As I was about to tell the scene I inserted to Pakunoda, later spoke first and told the things she heard.
After that Troupe started to debate if let go Gon and Killua, or keep them little longer. But because the memory I created was about to Brotherhood, and those two had no memory or connection with them, we decided to let them go. But Nobunaga stopped us and decided to recruit Gon to the Troupe. He said, he will keep them until Leader comes back.
After Nobunaga kept them in a room, and stood beside them to prevent them from running away, rest of the Troupe talked about Nobunaga's weird behaviors. Shalnark said, Nobunaga saw Uvogin in Gon, that is why wanted to be teamed up with him. They started to reminisce Uvogin, while Hisoka and I were just listening.
After that Shalnark handed over the list of the Mafia members belong to the Nostrade family, also the Mafia Family Kurapika was currently working. And we sent to search for them again in pairs. I teamed up with Shizuku and started to search for family members. But I send a clone instead of going myself. Shizuku wasn't smart enough to understand anyway, also I had to make sure kids are going to escape.
Nobunaga put them in a room with one door and no windows. He was sitting in front of the door, and the kids had no way to escape. In original series, they would make exit by crushing the walls on both sides of the room. I would just watch them escape if they could. If they could not, I would give them a hand.
But they didn't need my help at all, and they escaped without a problem, leaving Nobunaga alone in the base. With me!
