According to Hunter x Hunter chapter 405 spoilers, readers will witness Hisoka at a casino located in Tier 1, reflecting on his indifference to the Chimera Ants. Hisoka will look down on these creatures, seeing them as nothing more than annoying insects. For Hisoka, the thrill of combat comes from one-on-one encounters with skilled humans.

Next, Bonolenov will dwell on the consequences of having killed Lynch while posing as Hisoka. He had unwittingly revealed his identity to Lynch, which could result in significant fallout. He'll be concerned that the mafia might take revenge against the real Hisoka, whom he ultimately wants to see eliminated by Chrollo.

The new leadership in the Heil-Ly Family has made it more difficult to anticipate their strategies. The Heil-Ly Family now acts in a way that is different from how traditional mafia families usually operate.
Nobunaga will point out that the top authority of the Heil-Ly Family seems to be orchestrating widespread violence against civilians. He will suggest that they may be using these killings to enhance their Nen abilities. Thus, Wang and the other mafias will resolve to collaborate in their efforts to tear down the Heil-Ly Family. However, Wang’s internal dialogue will reveal his allegiance to Morena.
