In the Hunter Association building, the lecture between the Zodiacs and the Hunters begin. Leorio steps up to ask Ging Freecss a question: why hasn't Ging visited Gon yet? When Ging learns that Leorio is Gon's friend, he expresses his gratitude, and would be relying on Leorio. The indifferent answer enrages Leorio, inducing him to deliver an attack to Ging's direction. The Hunters who have witnessed the exchange cheer enthusiastically. The fourth election results end with Pariston, Cheadle, and Leorio as the top three.
Due to the previous election exceeding the 95% rule, Beans proceeds to introduce the top 16 candidates.
Still traveling by car, Gotoh receives another phone call, and is surprised to hear from Illumi Zoldyck. As Killua takes the phone, he realizes that his father Silva has sent Tsubone and Amane to learn more about Alluka's power, and when Illumi's name is mentioned, it is confirmed by Amane's anxiety that Illumi's desire does not match that of Silva and Zeno's desire to control Alluka's ability.
Illumi inquires about the needle, which Killua replies that he has already removed it. In an inner mission, according to Illumi, family members are not allowed to kill each other, implying that none of the Zoldycks think of Alluka as family. It angers Killua, who suddenly challenges his brother. Amused, Illumi states that he will begin now.
At once, the car in which the group travels is crashed by an incoming truck, whose drivers are killed and manipulated by Illumi. The vehicle falls off the cliffs, as both Illumi and Hisoka watch from afar. Illumi instructs Hisoka to eliminate the butlers and take Alluka away but when Hisoka asks if he could kill Killua, Illumi's composure immediately changes as he threatens Hisoka.
Below the cliffs, Killua senses his brother's killing aura. Amane suggests that the group must stay away from Illumi, and tells Killua she and her grandmother Tsubone are not the enemies. Their only goal is to ensure Killua's safety. Killua uses his Godspeed ability to separate from the group, just as Hisoka arrives to confront the three butlers. Meanwhile, Tsubone chases after Killua and Alluka, who amuses herself on how Killua would become a splendid assassin. When they have stopped, Alluka asks his brother if he is only a hindrance in the family, but Killua assures him that he is not.
Gotoh, Canary, and Amane confront the newcomer, who simply identifies himself as a magician. Hisoka attacks the butlers with his cards, but the cards are deflected by Gotoh's coins. Gotoh instructs Canary and Amane to save their energy and to chase after Killua instead, while he deals with the enemy. Hisoka praises the strength of the coins, which are stronger than bullets, as he explains the properties of his Bungee Gum ability.
Once again, Gotoh fires his coins, but Hisoka easily catches them using his Bungee Gum. However, he is surprised that the strength of the coins have increased, rotating Hisoka's arms while still fastened with Bungee Gum. He releases his ability and escapes to the trees. Hisoka proposes a riddle to Gotoh: how many coins should he return? He hurls the coins back to Gotoh, who deflects all the attacks and is unaware from the incoming attack from above. Hisoka beheads Gotoh, as the answer to his riddle is "death".
Using Godspeed, Killua intends to reach the nearest airport as soon as possible. Unable to keep up with the speed, Tsubone contacts Amane and Canary. She transforms herself into a motorcycle, which uses the rider's Nen to propel itself. Killua is surprised that he had been followed, and so escapes his pursuers by jumping off the road and traversing the forest instead. Tsubone's group arrives in the airport earlier than Killua, and Amane informs him that they have one airship prepared. Killua scolds her and orders her to prepare five more airships.
Amane and Canary do as they are ordered, until Amane notices that Killua and Alluka are gone. She gets flustered and puts all the blame to Canary, who insists on being innocent, despite teasing Amane as well.
In the airship, Killua explains the situation to Morel: his younger brother's ability could save Gon, while risking to kill the whole Zoldyck Family. To make the matters worse, an older brother tries to kill the younger one. Realizing that they could not chase Killua, Illumi relies on the help of his Needle People. Killua gives consent that Hunters may try to hunt his brother Illumi, and Morel thinks Teradein Neutral and Bushidora Ambitious could agree into it. Later, Teradein, Bushidora, and Loupe Highland announce that Illumi and his Needle People must be captured. As both Hunters and Needle People move out, Illumi asks Hisoka to hunt the "misses" for him, which Hisoka gladly accepts.
Through television broadcast, Teradein expresses his interest on reviving the Pure Paladin Squad, a team of elite Hunters in which former Chairman Isaac Netero once belonged. According to Bushidora, Teradein would be the representative, Loupe the vice representative, and himself the captain of the forces. Thus, both him and Loupe seek for others to vote Teradein in the Hunter Chairman Election. Teradein announces that his group is in search of Hunters who have committed crimes. The results of the fifth election end with Pariston, Teradein rising to second place, Cheadle and Leorio descending to third and fourth places, respectively. The candidates from ninth place and below then give out their losing speech.
Elsewhere, Hisoka beams at Illumi for finding a map, and proposes to make a copy out of it. Illumi, however, declines, as he already acquired one from the "idiot" who was following him. Hisoka remembers about the "peeping tom" and discards his map. In the shadows, Tsubone calls for Amane and uses her ability, Rider's High, to chase Killua's airship.
A Hunter who Illumi manipulates has informed the Hunter Association that there are no movements. Bushidora suspects that the call came from a controlled Hunter, while Teradein and Loupe are startled that the 20 dispatched Hunters on the field are all eliminated. Bushidora announces his determination to go there himself, to prove himself worthy to become a captain of the Pure Paladin Squad. When Loupe inquires Bushidora about the votes, he responds with all that can go should go, even if none of those out on the hunt currently vote, they should still be able to get in the top four. The sixth election results are released and the top four from the previous election remain the same. Loupe rushes in to inform that all Temp Hunters dispatched are eliminated, and Teradein is horrified to think that Illumi must have dozens of strong people helping him.
Killua calls Canary and orders her to have three cars waiting until the airship has landed. Then he orders the butler driving, Hishita, to take him and Alluka to the hospital. Suddenly, the car stops and two Needle People appear, blocking the pathway. Killua orders Hishita to leave immediately, yet the butler does not comply, being one of the Needle People now. More manipulated people arrive and surround the vehicle, as Illumi himself appears from the shadows.
Illumi asks his brother to hand Alluka over but Killua refuses. Tsubone appears and informs him that she has fallen into Illumi's trap, and that their mother Kikyo is watching through her scope; it is also possible that Milluki is cooperating as well, by sending feedback to Illumi. Illumi suspects that even if Tsubone realized she was being watched, she could not remove her scope, as it is an order from her superior. Suddenly, Alluka requests Tsubone's fingernails. As Tsubone easily complies, Illumi is shown to be somehow displeased.
With Nanika in tow, Killua is able to "wish". In the shadows, Hisoka contemplates to himself whether to kill Alluka and earn Killua's hatred, or let Alluka live, save Gon, and make Illumi his enemy. Then, Illumi begins to question his brother whether Killua would kill him and save Gon. As Killua cries, he wishes for Nanika to heal Tsubone's hand instead. He explains that healing something requires a lot of energy, and as Alluka turns back into his usual self, he falls asleep in Killua's arms. Killua threatens Illumi for referring to Alluka as a tool, and Illumi complies, relieved that there is a way to heal Gon without putting Killua at risk. However, until Killua is still hiding some rules, Alluka would never be free of Illumi. Finally, they come into an agreement and Killua and Alluka continue towards the hospital.
Meanwhile, Teradein gravely announces the death of Bushidora, along with over a hundred Hunters who were sent to eliminate Illumi. While he asks for more Hunters to vote for him, Hisoka slips in his room and kills him. With Teradein terminated, the results of the sixth election have Pariston in the first place, Leorio in second, Cheadle and Mizaistom Nana in third and fourth places. The election would then continue with only the top four candidates.
In the Hunter Association headquarters, Ging Freecss is confronted by Cheadle. She learns that Ging plans to leave and asks him about it, while Ging only explains that he only had his fun during the election, with meeting Leorio one of his biggest gains. Ging also adds that he plans on voting for Cheadle, who immediately accuses him of being able to win the election by gathering votes from the Zodiacs and that of Teradein's. Ging shrugs her off and mentions about the "X Day". With no other options, Cheadle asks for advice on how to beat Pariston. Ging begins to explain that in order to defeat Pariston, Cheadle must understand how her opponent thinks. He adds that after the death of Chairman Netero, over a hundred airships from the Hunter Association headed to Republic of East Gorteau and picked up 5,000 cocoons. Ging assumes that the cocoons have already hatched and that Pariston intends to use them at the end of the Hunter Exam, the "X Day".
The Eighth Election for the 13th Hunter Chairman begins with the enumeration of the Hunter Bylaws. Pyon once again hosts the event and announces that the speeches should begin. Botobai Gigante encourages the other Hunters to vote for Cheadle and Ickshonpe Katocha claims he does not care (and warns Ging not to disappear, and offers a card). Meanwhile, Killua and Alluka finally arrive at the hospital where Gon is kept. Some of their friends are also waiting, including Palm Siberia, Knuckle Bine, Meleoron, Ikalgo, Hanzo, Biscuit Krueger, Melody, and Goreinu. Finally, Pyon announces that no Hunter should leave the hall until a candidate becomes victorious.
