Four more hours passed and the arranged time was upon the mercenaries who sat in silence at the hall that once had the hostage's. They didn't make any conversation as they slowly nibbleed on some dried rations while tightly holding into their guns and looking at the door with killing intent.

"Boss.... there's only 10 minutes until the arranged time." quietly said Impala to the Nen user who was sitting against the wall with this eyes closed.

"Guess that it was not a diversion to make us let our guard down. Still.... this is how it's going to go, huh?" said the Nen user as he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Impala and then the other mercenaries.

"You're going to look after the men while I go meet them outside. As I do that, there is a high chance that they will be targeting me or try to kill you so.... you know what to do " said the Nen user as he tightened his shirt and cracked his neck a couple of times. Impala saw the calm demeanor of the Nen user and couldn't help but think about yesterday's demonstration.

' With that , I'm not sure that even a rain of bullet's will leave a scar on his body anymore. It's like he has become a tank , an impenetrable tank.' thought Impala as shook a little from excitement. He could almost feel the burded lift of him as he imagined about leaving this island with all that treasure.

"Impala, I know that you want to leave this island as soon as possible as we all do, but you have to remain focused. But remember this....." said the Nen user as he clenched his first tightly, making the veins in his arm pop out like tree roots." When I get that phone from them, I will make sure to crush their skulls with my own two hands, and you'll have front row seating to it." said the bear like Nen user as he patted Impala's shoulder. 

"I promise that you'll not regret following me in this island."

"Boss!" saluted Impala the Nen user and didn't move from that position until the Nen user got out of the room leaving the mercenaries on edge, but there was one exception. Tank who had miraculously managed to survive, was sitting on the back of the room with his limbs tied up and his mouth gaged.

He had waited all this time for Caid and the others to make a move to maybe rescue him. By hearing the mercenaries conversations he had understood the situation pretty well, and knew that this was his last chance to escape.

' I guess that it was fun....hah~

Who would have thought! The most stressful time of my life would also be the most exciting one to. A hijack, mercenaries, hidden island where there is buried treasure.... this sounds more like a crazy movie plot than anything real, but here I am. Alive....

Makes me think if I've really ever lived, makes me think if I've just wasted my life with pointless things. I never wanted to really marry, I never wanted to really become a pilot....I just wanted to see the world and all it's wonders.' thought Tank as he remembered the time when his father took him hiking, to the lake, to the forest. Everything felt so new and amazing to him at the time that he always had a lingering feeling for more.

"Hmmm....  

Hey, check him out. Doesn't he seem somewhat strange?" said one of the mercenaries as he looked at Tank who was staring blankly at the air.

"The pilot? Well....he seems a little out of it, but who wouldn't be in this situation? It's only normal." answered another mercenary.

"I don't know.....

It just seems like I'm not looking at someone. It's strange and somewhat creepy; like I'm looking at a mannequin." said the first mercenary.

"Man, shut up! I'm not in the mood for one of your creepy stories." angrily said another mercenary that was close to the other two.

"But I'm right...

As the first mercenary was about to complete his sentence the pissed not voice of Caid Impala washed over them. "You three, shut the fuck up! I don't want a single word from you until this is over." 

"YES SIR!" X3

........

In the meantime, the Nen user had left the airship and was waiting in the middle of the sandy beach for any sign of the three of them.  He squinted his eyes from the bright sun and trying to not miss anything , but couldn't help but have a bad feeling .

' That kid sure was someone who is hard to bargain with. He clearly can understand that he is at a disadvantage and simultaneously has a hold over me. Without a way to leave this island were as good as dead so he is trying to push us, while also knowing that he has little chance of victory. 

I could have taken another route and slowly smoked them out of their hiding as they don't have any supplies, but I'm also on a time limit.The window of that is created once a year to arrive at this island without any problems is three days and two days have already passed. So, if can't get that phone from them today then it's all over.' thought the Nen user as he felt the sunrays warm his skin, but not his soul.

He waited in that position until he suddenly noticed two figures coming out of the forest and immediately stop. This made him smile inwardly, but he managed to keep a calm face.

"You've finally arrived! I almost thought that you had been lying to me." spoke the Nen user as he took as step, but quickly stopped as a gun was pointed at him.

"Don't move! Don't even think about taking a single step forward!" said Paikos who was holding the gun. Mikael on the other hand was looking around as if trying to look for something.

"Haha, sorry about that." laughingly said the Nen use as he raised both his hands above his head. " I'm glad you showed up to our meeting, and as you can see I'm unarmed and alone, but it seems that I'm at a disadvantage. I don't think that the kid said anything about this."

"He didn't." dryly said Paikos as he kept the gun pointed at the Nen user. " He also isn't here, so you can stop looking for him. But not to worry about it, the deal of exchanging information is still going to happen."

"Is that so..." spoke the Nen user as he clenched his jaw a little bit.
