LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 4: He Is The Only One Who Has Blind Box To Open
Clean, polite, generous, and noticeable at first glance…
This was Light Nostrade's first impression of the man who appeared before him.
The main reason is that it is in too stark contrast to the other thugs on Meteor City who are there with their eyes rolling around, thinking of some bad ideas, or talking dirty and having a very gangster style.
This allows him to intuitively and quickly make his own judgments and evaluations.
And it just happened to be exactly the same as the judgment he made in the fortune poems he had read before!!
A fortune poem does not give a straightforward and exact explanation; He needs to get the answer he wants from the poem itself.
Light Nostrade has read a lot of fortune poems and knows the meaning of some words.
For example, [Sleeping] basically represents [Death] and so on.
That's why he had suspected that his understanding of the prophecy was wrong, which led to him coming to such a shabby place.
But obviously, when the young man in front of him came to him on his own initiative, Light Nostrade knew Neon's fortune poems made another accurate judgment.
"It is indeed a powerful ability to predict the future. I must firmly grasp this ability!!"
In his heart, he was once again amazed and delighted at the power of the fortune poems, and a somewhat friendly expression appropriately appeared on his face.
"Ahem, that's right."
He coughed lightly and said in a soothing tone: "Our Nostrade family is a potential stock among the current underworld mafias. In order to develop better, we plan to recruit many capable people."
"Of course, our family has very strict requirements for the people we recruit..."
Light Nostrade used his eloquence to talk about a lot of exaggerated and empty clichés things.
Lan nodded from time to time as he listened.
Well, just as he imagined.
The person in front of him was none other than Light Nostrade, the head of the Nostrade family, who later had a strong presence in the Yorknew City chapter.
He is also the boss of a mafia family that Kurapika specially selected to join in order to pursue the Phantom Troupe.
Light Nostrade was originally a member of a local mafia, a small leader under the Ritz Family.
Later, relying on his daughter, Neon Nostrade's ability, including helping himself and other mafia leaders to foresee the future, he climbed to a high-level position second only to the Ten Mafia Dons.
As a result, he is often looked down upon by other mafia members.
But he didn't care. Instead, he believed that the key to success was to master future intelligence.
Therefore, they are extremely disdainful of the provocative behavior of other mafias and regard it as the jealous face of a man who is really ugly!
He appears to be very wise and full of dignity.
At the same time, Light Nostrade is also a very ambitious person who will not miss any opportunity to climb up.
In the Yorknew City chapter, after he learned that the legendary Shadow Beasts under the command of the Ten Mafia Dons were completely wiped out and that the Ten Mafia Dons planned to hire a professional killer team.
He realized that his chance had come.
Light Nostrade asks Kurapika, who had captured Uvogin, a member of the Phantom Troupe, to join them in order to make his name known to the underworld.
He is a man who appears to be kind and wise on the outside, but is ambitious on the inside, and yet he is also an extremely fragile man.
Light Nostrade's doting on his daughter Neon all comes from his desire to use her ability to madly grab money, status and power.
He believes that as long as he can freely use her prophecy ability, he can even control the entire world.
Even reaching the status of the Ten Mafia Dons is no longer a dream.
Therefore, when Neon's Nen ability was stolen by Chrollo and she lost her prophecy ability to predict the future, he fell into deep despair.
His eyes turned bloodshot, and he was howling hysterically, making him look ugly as if he were on the verge of collapse.
Everything he had was based on prophecy ability.
Later, after Kurapika took over the Nostrade family, Neon lived a happy life. She even went to the Heavens Arena to watch the annual Battle Olympia.
Maybe due to various reasons, an accident occurred later, causing the Nen ability stolen by Chrollo to disappear.
But it's much better than Light Nostrade, who never appeared again…
Many things about Light Nostrade came to his mind, and Lan also gave a brief summary of him:
Strong on the outside but weak on the inside, lack knowledge, vision, and ability and are easy to control.
"He only has the ability to become a local leader, and he only rose to prominence based on Neon's prophecy ability. Without Neon, he is nothing. There is not much to be concerned about."
Lan thought so.
This is also the reason why he came to Light Nostrade and changed his subsequent ideas.
The Nostrade family has not yet risen to prominence, and no one knows why Light Nostrade came to this place.
But once he joins in, it is indeed a very good place to go.
Not to mention the subsequent Yorknew City chapter, in which he will play a significant role.
By then, many blind boxes will emerge.
And as a mafia family that is about to take off, it will have everything, including money, intelligence, power, etc.
After he walk out of Meteor City, he will have to do a lot of things and encounter a lot of trouble.
Many troubles can be easily solved once you have your own power, especially power in the underworld.
Sometimes, there is a real difference between a lone person fighting alone and a force with the support of an organization or group.
Lan still understands the principle that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade.
Lan especially knew very well what the future direction of the Nostrade family would be.
He knows what to do, and it is the best option for him.
Of course, the main point is…
"He's the only one who has blind boxes to open."
Lan looked at the blind box with white light that only existed beside Light Nostrade, and he became more determined in his choice.
