“Then let me ask you a question. Why do you think Mista and I would personally go and catch those thugs?” Giorno asked.
His words prompted Lu Ye to start thinking about this overlooked issue.
Indeed, given Giorno's status, why would he personally arrest petty thugs? Such matters are usually handled by his subordinates, who are merely tools for gang leaders.
So under what circumstances would it be necessary for the gang leader himself to take action?
Lu Ye's pupils constricted slightly.
There might only be one answer: the tools are no longer suitable, and Giorno has to step in personally to handle the situation.
"Speaking of which, you haven't introduced yourself yet. Now that the deal has been made, may I ask your name?" Giorno said.
From the moment we met, he has always used honorifics, and that hasn't changed to this day.
"Lu Ye, that's my name."
“So, Lu Ye, do you know why I killed the previous boss?” Giorno said. “It was because of drugs. Before I joined the organization, ‘Passione’ controlled all of Naples’s industries. Restaurants, hotels, shipping companies in the port, even funeral parlors were under the organization’s control, and gambling and drugs were the most profitable. What I couldn’t tolerate was that these people, for money, didn’t even spare minors, providing them with this stuff.”
"That's why you finally killed the previous boss."
"To be precise, it was together with several respectable and trustworthy companions that we defeated him."
Giorno said, "In the past ten years, the drug trade in Naples has disappeared, but as Marx once said, when the profit reaches 10%, some people start to get restless; when the profit reaches 50%, some people dare to take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample on all human laws; and when the profit reaches 300%, they are not even afraid of going to the gallows..."
"And Naples, this place full of 'markets,' has been targeted. They want to resume the drug trade here, and have even infiltrated the organization. Moreover, they also have Stand users. Two of our Stand users have been killed during the investigation, and the investigation revealed that the information was leaked at the 'cadre' level... Although dealing with those Stand users is not difficult for me, I still need to spend time finding the traitors within the organization. You understand, there aren't many trustworthy people in the organization right now, which is why I came to you."
"In other words, you are someone I can trust now, because your ruthless attitude towards those people in the alley and your disgusted reaction when you heard we were a gang and thought we were connected to drugs are proof of that."
"To quell external aggression, we must first pacify internal strife, right?" Lu Ye finally understood.
"Pretty much. Although my situation isn't great, I've managed to find some clues about the other side. All you need to do is deliver the items to the designated location."
"Forgive me for being nosy, but those friends who helped you defeat the former boss... are they no longer trustworthy?"
Upon hearing this, Giorno remained silent for a few seconds, then shook his head slightly.
"If you want to embark on a certain path, you must be aware of it. Without awareness, it is impossible to carve out a bright path for yourself in the darkness."
Although Giorno didn't say it explicitly, Lu Ye already knew what had happened to those people.
To embark on the path of rebelling against the boss, one must be prepared to become an enemy of the entire organization.
It seems that Mista is the only person left by Giorno's side right now.
If Mista leaves, then Giorno will be without anyone he can completely trust in Naples.
Giorno's men may not necessarily disrespect or love him.
But apart from those who have truly shared life and death with you and fought side by side, is there really anyone you can still completely trust?
"Okay, I'll deliver it to you as soon as possible." Lu Ye picked up the suitcase. "The food here is quite good, thank you for your hospitality."
Watching Lu Ye's departing figure, Mista put down the barely touched strawberry cake and said, "Giorono, I completely believe in you, but is it really possible? With your Gold Experience Requiem, dealing with someone like Diavolo would be a piece of cake, but now you're sending 'Arrow' away?"
“I know, Mista, but I trust him, just as Bucciarati trusted me back then,” Giorno said. “The organization has been infiltrated. Since they also have Stand users, we can’t let ‘Arrow’ remain in our hands until we find the mole. Besides, Mr. Polnareff himself has agreed…”
"Alright, since you put it that way..."
Mista decided to stop worrying about it, and just as he was about to finish the strawberry cake, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
He picked up his phone and answered the call, his expression suddenly changing.
"Giorono! We've got news about those thugs we caught before! I'm heading over there now, I'll let you know if there's any progress!"
Mista rushed out of the restaurant without looking back.
Giorno sat alone at the corner table, took a deep breath, and then took out a brass pocket watch from his pocket.
Inside the opened pocket watch was a photograph.
That was a man's back view.
With blond hair like Giorno, a body covered in strong muscles and a back, and an incredible waist, he exudes a powerful beauty.
On the man's left shoulder, there was a birthmark that looked like a star.
"I hope that sending the arrow out... was the right choice."
Giorno spoke softly, his right hand gently reaching into his collar to press against the star-shaped birthmark that resembled the one on the man in the photograph.
Chapter 711 Jotaro Kujo
2011, April 11.
Florida.
State Green Street.
On the wide coastal highway, taxis stopped by the roadside.
The yellow car door opened, and a long leg stepped out. Lu Ye got out of the car, let out a long sigh, and then took a deep breath, inhaling all the fresh air into his lungs.
Immediately afterwards, he leaned against the roadside railing, bent over, and coughed.
"This must be it... Ugh, I feel like throwing up!"
The direct flight from Italy to Florida in the United States does indeed take a short time, but the flight attendants serve passengers in English.
Lu Ye's English was passable, but it seemed to have been affected, causing him to become fluent in English, to the point where his level was as good as his Chinese.
He was initially delighted, wondering if he had discovered a bug.
If you learn Italian in Naples and English on the plane, wouldn't you be able to travel the world as a language instructor?
However, he quickly rejected this idea.
When he left Naples, there weren't many people in the waiting room, but after boarding the plane, the passengers inevitably started talking to each other. These people from all over the world instantly added a few more languages to Lu Ye's mind.
Mastering several languages in a short period of time puts a great strain on the brain.
Language is a subject of study.
From basic characters and pronunciation, to vocabulary and spelling...
To fully master a language requires extensive and prolonged practice, as well as the indispensable influence of the environment, just as a baby is exposed to the language from the moment it is born.
In addition, Lu Ye confirmed several things on the plane.
Because this world is highly similar to his main world, it can be said to be the most normal parallel world that Lu Ye has ever been to... Therefore, to some extent, the laws of the two worlds are quite similar.
In other words, powers that cannot be used outside of one's home in the main world cannot be used in this world either.
Everything will be restored, just as the heretics, once they stepped out of the mansion in the main world, could no longer maintain their original body shape and thus became small animals in their true form.
Secondly, although the mall is now closed, the items in the permanent store can still be purchased and used, such as universal potions and ammunition. Identification is also the key for him to take transportation such as airplanes.
Weapons like the Imperial Arms Dimensional Phalanx: Shangri-La and the Mortal Blade are his own items and are not affected by the laws of this world. Since he has already transmigrated here, they are part of him and will not lose their effectiveness, but that's all.
As for the other weapons, although they can be used, their unique combat skills cannot be used. However, that doesn't matter, because Lu Ye has put those weapons in the exhibition hall to use as experience packs.
In addition, apart from the ability that requires Star Points, all other abilities have temporarily lost their function. He is currently unable to contact Violet and others in the main world, and therefore cannot rely on the power of artificial angels such as Icarus.
goo goo...
My stomach rumbled.
After getting off the plane and sitting in the car for so long, Lu Ye felt his head was throbbing and he was very hungry. He had only eaten on the plane.
However, before filling his stomach, Lu Ye still had things to do.
That is to deliver what Giorno asked for.
Lu Ye opened the briefcase and took out the letter from the hidden compartment.
Of course, the tortoise with rubies inlaid on its shell was also staring at Lu Ye.
Just before the plane took off from Naples, Giorno told Ruye that after arriving in Florida, he should come to Green Street in the state capital and open the envelope in his suitcase there.
Although Lu Ye didn't know why Giorno Fey was making such a big fuss just to transport a turtle, it was none of his business.
Even if this turtle is abnormal, that's Giorno's problem.
All I need to do is complete the mission, then obtain clues about the fragments, and a substitute...
Lu Ye opened the envelope.
The moment the letter was opened, it suddenly changed, turning into a pigeon that flapped its wings and flew away from Lu Ye's hand.
Lu Ye understood instantly.
This was Giorno's ability; instead of writing the specific location on paper, he turned the letter itself into a dove, which flew towards the destination.
Is this Giorno's Stand ability?
Without hesitation, Lu Ye immediately followed the pigeon's steps.
After a chase that lasted for nearly twenty minutes, Lu Ye arrived at a high-end hotel on a long street near the sea.
He stepped inside, following the direction of the pigeons, and went straight through the hall to the open space on the side. There was a beautiful pond there, with a decorative moss covering the unique rockery. The pond was home to many aquatic animals, including goldfish and turtles.
The pigeon had transformed back into a letter, which was then submerged in the water. There was nothing on it; it was just a blank sheet of paper.
"Welcome to the Mary Hotel."
The waitress's voice sounded from behind.
"Sir, how can I help you?" the waiter asked with a standard smile.
"Excuse me, has a person named Giorno Giovanna ever been here before?"
“Oh, I remember that guest came here about a year ago and stayed for a while,” the waiter said. “But I’m sorry, if you want to check his accommodation records, we cannot provide them to you according to regulations unless he is a public official.”
“No, you’ve misunderstood. That’s my friend. He recommended this place to me because he heard the food is pretty good,” Lu Ye said. “I was just asking casually, I didn’t expect someone to actually remember him.”
"Of course, that gentleman is very charming. Even to us waiters, he speaks to us with great respect. And he's handsome too. Some of the young girls at the front desk were swooning over him."
"Then I'll have a meal here. Please also book me a room while you're at it. I'll rest here for a bit and come right away."
"Okay, let me see... I'll reserve a table for you right away."
The waiter took the passport from Lu Ye and quickly left.
Lu Ye looked around.
Although the pond had a pleasant environment, no one stopped to linger.
