I'm just an internet cafe owner

Risotto: "Tell the boss we're on duty right away!"

Jiaqiu: "No, we're too slow in agreeing, and he's already making demands."

"any request?"

Gach relayed, "He said he's involved in a monopoly, and some people might not like him. If necessary, he wants us to find those who are causing trouble. He'll pay 10,000 euros for each one we find!"

Risotto: "The boss just said he found it?"

Jiaqiu: "Yes! The boss said that when we encounter people like this, he will personally reason with them, so we don't need to work ourselves to the bone! Oh! Our boss also said that after dividing the work areas, we can work as we please. Those who work hard will earn more, and those who don't will earn less. What the boss wants is to capture the market, not to make money. Our boss is super rich! Thank you, boss!"

At this moment, Gachu had a phone tucked between his neck and a cup of milk tea in his left hand, and twenty 500-euro bills in his right. He had gone from being menacing at the beginning to becoming Giorno's loyal subordinate.

Risotto: "Tell the boss I'm going to see him right away!"

And so, the assassination squad collectively betrayed them. What a Passionate Assassination Squad! They've completely disappeared. All that remains are the boss's milk tea salesmen. As a gangster, loyalty is paramount. But clearly, Passionate didn't treat them like brothers. They did incredibly hard and tiring work, yet their pay was so low they couldn't even afford air conditioning.

Risotto has now decided to follow his new boss. He doesn't need to kill anyone; he only needs to work four hours a day, and he could earn more money than he would in a year killing people. Most importantly, this new boss treats them like family.

So Risotto gathered the rest of the members together.

As members of an assassination squad, they were all filled with chivalry and loyalty. It's fair to say that if one of them was in trouble, the whole team would help, since they had all endured hardship together and shared a common goal.

After gathering everyone together, Risotto announced directly, "Everyone, I have an announcement to make: our assassination squad is withdrawing from Passion!"

"Boss! Are you crazy?"

"The boss will kill us!"

"I can't betray the organization!"

Risotto calmly replied, "The new owner gave us a one million euro exit fee."

After a moment's hesitation, one member spoke up: "A mere million? Are you trying to fob us off like beggars?"

Risout: "One million euros per person, and we will have legitimate business afterwards, without the need for fighting and killing, and we can earn hundreds of thousands of euros a day."

Upon hearing the number, everyone fell silent for a moment. Bessie whispered to his older brother, Prosciutto, "Brother, are we going to betray us?"

Bessie's words were so jarring in the context, while Risotto calmly replied, "Bessie, you have one too. The boss specifically mentioned that the guy with the fishhook also got a million."

Prosciutto then asked seriously, "A legitimate business?"

"Yes, you only need to sell milk tea, you don't need to do anything else."

"I hereby announce my withdrawal from Passion."

"I'll follow my boss and go into legitimate business."

"Exactly, let whoever wants to be a gangster can be one, I'm not going to be one."

As everyone was talking at once, someone suddenly spoke up: "What if the boss is chasing us?"

Risotto retorted, "Would we be able to live a good life if they didn't hunt us down?"

"Exactly! The current mission bounties aren't even enough to eat. I can't even afford a plane ticket."

"I have to hitch a ride with other people when I take the train!"

"I've done it! To hell with gangsters, I'm done. I'm going to do legitimate business, not fighting and killing."

So, the Passionate Assassination Squad betrayed them in a single day. The betrayal was so fast that Diavolo thought they had been wiped out. It wasn't until later, when someone mentioned that they were selling bubble tea in America, that Diavolo didn't dare to pursue them or send anyone to do so. After all, that was America, where the invincible Jotaro was.

The assassination squad's collective defection left Diavolo without anyone to rely on, forcing him to send Bucciarati to investigate. Diavolo dared not send Bucciarati to kill the enemy, lest Bucciarati also defect, resulting in a huge loss.

Chapter 543 Bucciarati, who was recruited into the group

Not only the assassination squad, but many passionate individuals also defected. The reason for the defection was very simple: money. Yes, while the Mafia also values ​​loyalty, money can persuade some to join Giorno's side if it doesn't violate those values.

At this moment, Giorno was looking at his earnings. He earned so much money, except for what he spent at the internet cafe...

There are other purposes besides consumption.

He wanted to rule the entire Italian Mafia and eliminate the boss of the Passionate Organization. In his view, the Passionate Organization's existence kept all of Italy in turmoil. Especially the boss of this powerful organization, who engaged in despicable acts.

Gambling, prostitution, and drugs? These things can indeed make money, but it's at the expense of others' livelihoods.

As the assassination squad that frequently did dirty work for Diablo, they naturally knew about some of the disgusting things Diablo had done.

Looking at Risotto's summary list, Giorno fell into deep thought. Just as he was pondering this, he felt his Gold Experience urge to leave.

"So that's how it is?"

Giorno had finished organizing the intelligence he had gathered, and he was just about to get some rest when he instinctively opened his eyes.

"The enemy?"

As he opened his eyes, he noticed a crack under the bed he was lying on.

"Was it someone who was trying to stop us with enthusiasm?"

"It seems you know me."

"Bucciarati? The assassination squad has information on you."

Giorno sat up, and Bucciarati looked at the young man before him. Diavolo had indeed tasked him with the investigation, and Bucciarati had originally intended to investigate secretly as well.

Until today, he witnessed a scene that shattered his composure: in this city, driven by greed, some even preyed on minors. Many minors, unaware of their surroundings, were possessed by evil forces and were unable to escape their clutches for life.

Bucciarati's family died from complications after being seriously injured in a drug deal. Bucciarati, who had killed people before, saw passion as a savior until he saw the demons in the minors, and a conflict was born in his heart.

If Giorno were selling ordinary milk tea, Bucciarati would never have come over so openly or even deliberately exposed himself.

These days, Bucciarati and his companions have been visiting various bubble tea stalls, and based on their observations, they've discovered a horrifying reality. Addiction symptoms that modern medicine cannot cure, and that even willpower cannot resist, are somehow cured by these bubble teas.

While milk tea is undeniably appealing, almost everyone who has tried it appears to exhibit addictive symptoms. However, after trying it, even after several days without drinking it, there are no noticeable physical discomforts. Bucciarati also had these milk teas tested for potential harm, and the answer was yes; excessive consumption can easily lead to obesity and high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. He recommends drinking them with less sugar or no sugar at all.

Bucciarati has a strong aversion to drugs, which is why Giorno's act of helping these people who are trapped in their addiction for free increases Bucciarati's goodwill towards him.

Giorno and Bucciarati started exchanging words; Giorno felt this man was worth winning over. As for his superior? Whether he'd even survive the night was another matter entirely.

"Bucciarati, join me."

"Impossible, it was passion that gave me room to survive, I couldn't possibly..."

Before Bucciarati could finish speaking, Giorno handed him a set of data on the table. The moment Bucciarati saw the data, his expression changed. It recorded the number of drug users each year under Passionate Management, the proportion of each age group, and the final results. It also recorded how many families had died because of drugs.

Why are you showing me these?

Giorno spoke directly: "I know you've killed people, worked in the mafia, been a thug, and even done a lot of dirty tricks in the shadows. But I can sense your golden spirit. You're not the kind of person who goes with the flow. My goal isn't to overthrow Passion, but to become Passion's boss and a mafia superstar."

"why?"

"Because this is my dream."

At this moment, Bucciarati was silent. Giorno had made so much money and poached so many people from Passion, yet his dream was to become a mafia superstar? Even the leader of Passion.

Seeing Bucciarati's confusion, Giorno explained, "According to my intelligence, the boss of Passion has never shown his face. No member knows what he looks like, not even his age or gender. But isn't that better? Besides, with Passion's downfall, dealing with the other minor leaders will be more troublesome. So what if I become the leader, even if it's a fake one? After all, no one knows what the real leader looks like. If you disagree, I'll remove my milk tea from your hometown, making it completely under Passion's rule, leaving those who have fallen because of Passion with no chance of redemption. You don't want your hometown to become like that, do you?"

Bucciarati fell silent, and after a moment he summoned his chain fingers.

"Defeat me! Passion gives me meaning to live, and I cannot betray it. For passion, I will fight with everything I have."

"Mu Da! Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da!!"

The instant Bucciarati declared he would defeat him, Gold Experience suddenly appeared beside Bucciarati and threw a punch. Steel Fingers also retaliated immediately.

But in just a moment, Bucciarati felt a darkness before his eyes, and at the same time he found himself lying on the ground.

When Bucciarati regained his senses, he found Giorno straddling him and raising his fist. He also realized that his body seemed to be out of his control. This was due to a mental rampage; Gold Experience attacks would cause enemies to go berserk and break free of their physical control.

Bucciarati possesses extensive combat experience, but that experience is somewhat insufficient against Giorno in his current state. And this is especially true in his berserk state.

In this state, it can be considered a debuff. What is the most awe-inspiring move in Street Fighter against an enemy with a debuff? The Tiger-Taming Overlord Fist.

"Mudamudayo".

Giorno wasn't just sitting around in the internet cafe these past few days; he also tried out many games, and in the game DNF, he chose the righteous Street Fighter.

Giorno felt that other professions were more difficult to learn, while Street Fighter skills seemed to be full of the Golden Spirit, so he mastered all the skills from both male and female Street Fighters.

Giorno, riding on Bucciarati's back, began his attack, unleashing the Tiger King Fist, punching him head-on. Incidentally, due to its unique nature, Gold Experience can also play and level up alone in an internet cafe. The current Gold Experience boasts both Strength and Speed ​​A-ranks. Don't let its small size fool you; even if Star Platinum were to come, it could hold its own against him.

Although Steel Chain Fingers is also a Power and Speed ​​A-level weapon, the current Gold Experience Power and Speed ​​A-level weapon is because increasing the A-level rating is the highest setting, while Steel Chain Fingers is simply because it has reached the double A-level standard.

This was a merciless beating. From this day forward, Bucciarati, loyal to Diavolo, no longer exists; instead, the anti-drug pioneer Bucciarati appears beside Giorno.

Chapter 544 New Guest, Head Chef of the Otherworldly Dining Hall!

Now Giorno has successfully taken over Passion, and as for Diavolo? He is indeed very strong, relying on the powerful abilities of Time Jump and Epitaph to almost instantly kill those who do not know his information.

Unfortunately, the person who killed him was not an ordinary person, but Fujimaru Kaori.

When Giorno offered a bounty of one million, Fujimaru Kaori accepted the mission immediately, located Diavolo within an hour, and then killed Diavolo.

Giorno became the leader of Passion, and all forms of gambling, prostitution, and drugs were eliminated from the entire Passion.

The once vibrant landscape has undergone some dramatic changes.

For example, it used to be about collecting protection money, now it's about selling milk tea. If you open a shop and don't sell dozens of cups of milk tea, do you think I'm too enthusiastic to be accepted?

If someone bullies someone who has paid protection money, the gang will teach them a lesson in cruelty.

While Giorno was happily selling milk tea with his gangster crew, a new customer arrived at the No. 3 store on this day when there were no new games.

"Where...am I?"

The person who came was named Yamakata, and he was a chef. He ran a Western-style restaurant called "Neko-ya" (Cat House). His restaurant was a little special; every Saturday, his day off, the restaurant would connect to another world, and guests from that world would come to enjoy the food he prepared.

However, today's situation is a bit special. It's not Saturday, nor is it a guest from another world coming to his world; rather, he has transmigrated to another world.

"Where...am I?"

Yamamoto looked around with curiosity, and at that moment, his chef's uniform attracted the attention of Erina Nakiri, who was yawning.

Today, Erina Nakiri is in a state of stagnation. She comes to the internet cafe not to study cooking or play games, but to watch videos and live streams.

In her words, "I'm working myself to the bone every day, what's wrong with taking a break today?"

Her favorite thing to watch is virtual singers. If we're talking about singing, she likes Hatsune Miku. But if we're talking about virtual singers, she likes Luo Tianyi. Because every time she cooks in the show "Overcooked," she sees Luo Tianyi eating the food.

Even when cooking in more open-ended games, Luo Tianyi would always drag another girl over, drawn by the aroma. Compared to the adorable, bouncy songstress, she preferred this little foodie.

"Indeed, watching others eat is a kind of enjoyment too!"

Just as she was enjoying herself, she noticed a newcomer standing at the door. Sherry was preparing to serve her, and Hitomi was also ready to trick the newcomer. However, before the staff could even begin, Nakiri Erina spotted Yamakata.

"The newcomer is a chef? That's interesting!"
