Plot[]
Yorknew City arc[]
When Gon, Killua, and Zepile arrive at the Preview Market, Taloon introduces himself as the gallery director. He says that his employees have told him that the three have brought a marvelous specimen. As Taloon examines the jewelry from the wooden vault, he praises the valuables' quality and condition, offering to buy them himself for 
250 million. Zepile quickly declines, and Taloon understands since the jewelry could make more at the auction. He then leads the group to the preview floor and signals someone as he walks away.[1]
On the day of the Preview Market auction, Taloon is seen standing beside the auctioneer as he sells the wooden vault for 355 million.[2]
