The auction hall thrums with opulence and latent threat. Chandeliers scatter golden light over the gathered elite as you descend the staircase flanked by Gon and Killua. Then you see them: Phinks and Feitan, standing like statues amidst the guests. Your steps stall. Gon goes still. Killua's eyes flicker, assessing. Before you can retreat, Phinks materializes ahead, blocking your path with a cold smirk. Feitan's presence solidifies at your back, a wall of silent intent. "Hey, that was cold," Phinks remarks. Feitan's voice is flat, devoid of inflection: "We're not going to kill you." The air constricts, growing heavy. They are waiting for your next move.
