Hunter x Hunter Chapter 408 spoilers indicate that Morena and Borksen are poised to begin their negotiation to decide if Borksen will join the Heil-Ly Family and do their bidding. The chapter will show the two learn more about each other in the process. However, it seems that there might be an unexpected disruption due to a new development in the ongoing Succession War.

In the previous chapter, readers saw Borksen, who had been abducted and taken to the Heil-Ly hideout. There, she found herself seated before Morena, who extended an offer for her to join the family. To help her decide, Morena proposed a Negotiation card game, and then taking the time to explain the rules.

According to Hunter x Hunter Chapter 408 spoilers, the next installment is allegedly titled Negotiation Part 2. It will focus on the Negotiation game between Morena and Borksen.

The chapter reportedly will kick off with Borksen picking the Purpose card. So, Morena will have to reveal her true objective: to bring about the downfall of the Kakin Royal Family and then to annihilate humanity as a whole. Borksen will ask for more information and find out that the woman in front of her is not the real Morena Prudo, but someone who has taken her identity.

Hunter x Hunter Chapter 408 spoilers then shed light on the Kakin Royal Family’s feasts, held every few years. During these events, a village is selected randomly to serve the royal members, and any perceived insult is met with severe punishment, often death. In one such instance, Morena’s mother hosted the royals and became so preoccupied with attending to their needs that she went into labor and gave birth without even noticing.

This is how Morena came to be born and abandoned. She had a rough start to life, including having her face scarred and being trafficked. Despite these challenges, she went on to become the leader of the Heil-Ly family twenty years later.

Her animosity towards the Kakin Royal Family stems from their unrelenting exploitation of innocent people, which only leads to more kids like her being orphaned. Thus, Morena is looking for allies like Borksen to help her achieve her goal of destroying it. But she wants to kill all of humanity because the rest of the Heil-Ly Family has enemies too.

The card game will continue, as per Hunter x Hunter Chapter 408 spoilers, with Borksen selecting the Power card. Morena will then have to explain how being a Specialist, she can use her ability to give powers to people who share her goals. She will also reveal that Borksen, though she has not awakened Nen yet, is a Specialist.

Meanwhile, Borksen will lose her Joker, X, and Yes cards, leaving her with only the No and Return cards. The Return card lets her get a discarded card back, but the No card would be a problem. Borksen knows all about Morena's plans and if she is no longer useful, the Heil-Ly Family will get rid of her. But working with them goes against Borksen's own values as she would prefer to avoid anything that could lead to conflict or war.

Hunter x Hunter Chapter 408 spoilers also reveal that the game will be abruptly interrupted before its conclusion as Prince Benjamin will declare martial law.

Hunter x Hunter Chapter 408 spoilers, thus, reveal that the card game will be interrupted by Benjamin's move, which Togashi had already teased in the previous installments. Hopefully, the interruption is just temporary, and readers will get to see the intense card game, which Togashi went to great lengths to set up, reach a proper conclusion. Once the game is over, it will become more evident how Benjamin's move is going to affect everyone, including the Heil-Ly Family, who are keen on carrying out many more killings.
