Walking closely behind another person on the street, that's practically performance art.
There was no need for Kira Yoshihiro to ask for help; curious police officers would probably come to check the situation and find Qin Chuan threatening Kira Yoshihiro with a gun to his back.
“That’s true. Mr. Kira, please take a look.”
Qin Chuan agreed. If he kept sticking close to Kira Yoshihiro's back and urging him to walk, it would definitely attract the attention of the police on the street.
So Qin Chuan withdrew the hand holding the pistol, then put his arm around Kira Yoshihiro's shoulder, just like good brothers.
After hooking his left arm around Kira Yoshihiro's neck, Qin Chuan revealed his right hand to Kira Yoshihiro—in which he held a genuine handgun.
As Kira Yoshihiro pondered what Qin Chuan was trying to do by showing him the pistol, Qin Chuan gently clenched his right hand.
Snap.
The hard, black metal instantly twisted into a ball, and the bullets inside fell to the ground with a clatter, causing Kira Yoshihiro to break out in a cold sweat.
"Got it? If I wanted to, I could twist your neck like this in an instant."
Qin Chuan smiled and put his arm around Kira Yoshihiro's shoulder.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll come with me obediently."
Although no shot was fired, Qin Chuan's handshake put even more pressure on Kira Yoshihiro.
That seemingly ordinary right hand could actually turn a pistol into a twisted piece of scrap metal in an instant. Kira Yoshihiro didn't think his neck was harder than a pistol.
Now, Qin Chuan had his arm around his shoulder, and Qin Chuan's arm was draped over his shoulder. If he did anything disobedient, he could imagine his gaze turning 360 degrees in an instant.
And so, the old man and the young man walked out of the clothing store side by side. Although it looked strange, it was at least much more normal than threatening someone with a gun.
The shop assistants in the clothing store looked at them speechlessly. The two of them came in, browsed around, and left without buying anything.
As for when they realized there was a problem between Kira Yoshihiro and Qin Chuan, it would probably be about ten minutes later when they found broken pistol parts and bullets on the ground.
Before that, Qin Chuan had already taken Kira Yoshihiro to a secluded corner and taken all the property he could get his hands on.
Chapter Thirty-Eight, Part Four, End
Although Qin Chuan had already anticipated that Yoshihiro Kira would be carrying a considerable amount of wealth, he was still somewhat taken aback when he found a large amount of cash in Kira's bag.
"With so much cash on you, did you just rob a bank?"
Looking at the large stacks of cash in his hands, and the extra cash in his bag that he couldn't even hold with both hands, Qin Chuan wondered where Kira Yoshihiro had gotten so much cash from.
Although it's only the 80s and mobile payment methods are still far from being widely adopted, not everyone would carry so much cash when traveling abroad, right?
"Just in case..."
Faced with Qin Chuan's doubts, Kira Yoshihiro could only cautiously answer that he had already seen through Qin Chuan's power and naturally dared not resist him.
As Qin Chuan had previously learned, Kira Yoshihiro's ancestors were once wealthy. Although all that remained of his property was a large mansion in Morio, he still possessed considerable liquid assets.
Qin Chuan vaguely remembered that when Kira Yoshikage introduced his family's situation, he complained about his family's decline... Qin Chuan suspected that it was because Kira Yoshihiro had spent too much money to buy that arrow.
I don't know if there really is such a thing as world line correction. Maybe Kira Yoshihiro really sensed that he would spend a lot of money in Egypt, so he withdrew so much cash.
Regardless of whether that's true or not, the cash is now in Qin Chuan's hands, and even if Kira Yoshihiro goes to Enya again, he won't be able to afford to buy arrows.
Enya spent a lot of real money to buy the five arrows from Diavolo. If Kira Yoshihiro couldn't afford it, Enya wouldn't have sold them to him for a pittance.
This old man doesn't have the same charisma that attracts villains as Dior.
"I've given you all the money, so... can I leave now?"
Kira Yoshihiro watched Qin Chuan count the money with trepidation, a fawning smile on his face. He dared not point a finger at Qin Chuan, hoping that Qin Chuan would let him off the hook after he had taken the money.
He had already made up his mind that after leaving, he would immediately book a plane ticket back to Japan, to get as far away from this devil as possible, and he would never come to Egypt again.
As for calling the police or seeking revenge... to be honest, Kira Yoshihiro really didn't have that idea.
The reason is simple: when Qin Chuan pulled out a pistol to threaten him, he clearly referred to him as "Mr. Kira".
Kira Yoshihiro remembered very clearly that he had never told anyone his name during this period, but Qin Chuan could call out his surname. Did this mean that Qin Chuan knew him?
Although Kira Yoshihiro couldn't recall ever seeing Qin Chuan before, the fact that Qin Chuan was Asian made him naturally assume that he might also be a resident of Morioh.
So he made a decision: after he went back, he would not only never come to Egypt again, but he would even move out of Morioh to avoid being targeted by this guy again.
"Walk?"
Qin Chuan looked at Kira Yoshihiro, sneered, and before Kira Yoshihiro could react, he kicked him in the neck.
The terrifying force snapped Kira Yoshihiro's neck in an instant, sending his body flying and crashing to the ground. His eyes were wide open as he stared intently at Qin Chuan, seemingly surprised that Qin Chuan had acted so suddenly, giving him no time to react.
Kira Yoshihiro is an absolute scumbag, and Qin Chuan certainly has no reason to let him go—although he thinks he probably won't have the guts to call the police, it's better to just kill him cleanly to prevent any unforeseen complications.
In fact, if he had used a little more force and kicked a little higher, he could have smashed Kira Yoshihiro's head to pieces, allowing him to pass away without any pain.
But if that happens, Qin Chuan's 20,000 yen pants will be stained with dirty blood and flesh, which is quite disgusting to think about.
So Qin Chuan's kick only broke his neck, letting him die on his own. Although Kira Yoshihiro would be in a little pain, it wouldn't leave his pants with anything he shouldn't have.
Anyway, no matter how painful Kira Yoshihiro's death is, Qin Chuan won't feel any guilt, since he did a lot of evil things to protect his murderous son.
“Gah…”
Kira Yoshihiro opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he quickly lost his breath. Qin Chuan could feel his "qi" gradually decreasing until it completely dissipated.
As for this guy's son, Yoshikage Kira, he should still be in Morioh, Japan, right? Qin Chuan wouldn't go there specifically to kill him too. Anyway, without his father's protection, Yoshikage Kira won't be able to cause trouble for long.
He remembered that Yoshikage Kira had already killed his first person back in 1983, so Yoshikage Kira was already a menace now.
However, the reason why Yoshikage Kira was able to remain a serial killer for decades without being discovered was mainly because the arrow that Yoshihiro Kira brought back awakened his Stand, "Killer Queen," which allowed him to conceal his identity for so long by using its ability to destroy evidence.
Now that Yoshihiro Kira is dead here, and the arrow can no longer be sent back to Morio, Yoshikage Kira will not awaken the "Killer Queen" in the future. Having lost his powerful ability to destroy evidence, it is only a matter of time before he is captured.
Looking at Kira Yoshihiro's corpse, Qin Chuan raised his hand and released a ki blast that completely destroyed Kira Yoshihiro's body, leaving no trace.
"Now we have enough money to buy the arrows."
Qin Chuan put the cash back into Kira Yoshihiro's bag—he had just counted the money inside, and it was enough to buy Enya's arrow, with a considerable amount left over.
He's only been in the JOJO world for about three hours now, and he still has a full five hours left. That's enough time for him to buy the arrow, find a quiet place to awaken his Stand, and figure out its abilities.
If he had progressed a little faster, he might have been able to storm into Dio's mansion and complete the main quest today.
If that were truly possible, it would be considered a speedrun of the main quest of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure world in a single day. Considering that my progress in the Dragon Ball world's main quest is still only 1%, the difference is considerable.
Now Qin Chuan could only pray that the Stand he awakened wouldn't have any bad abilities, and preferably a humanoid Stand.
Because the characteristic of a humanoid Stand is that it can attach itself to the host and use the host to launch an attack on the Stand.
In this way, even if one's own Stand has extremely poor stats, as long as it attaches to one's own body and allows one to attack other people's Stands, one's own combat power will be enough to beat other people's Stands to a pulp.
Chapter Thirty-Nine's scope is still too narrow.
"Oh? You've raised the money so quickly? I was prepared to wait until tomorrow."
Seeing Qin Chuan return from the market after being gone for just over two hours, En Ya wore a faint smile, looking like an ordinary, harmless old woman.
Qin Chuan didn't intend to expose her; he simply nodded calmly, then took out the bag that originally belonged to Kira Yoshihiro and placed it on the shop.
"Yes, the money is right here, please count it."
The bag contained the exact amount of cash that Enya had quoted earlier. Qin Chuan took out the extra money and bought a new handbag, which he then put inside the handbag.
After all, he still needed the money to leave downtown Cairo, find a hotel room, and quietly awaken his own substitute. He needed some money in reserve.
As for why the Stand wasn't awakened directly in downtown Cairo... it's mainly because when a Stand first awakens, it's possible for it to go berserk.
For example, Jotaro Kujo, the protagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3, had a Stand called "Star Platinum" that was completely out of control when it first awakened. It would beat people up indiscriminately and also take a lot of things to Jotaro Kujo.
If Qin Chuan's Stand also experiences this situation, wouldn't it be equivalent to shouting loudly under Dio's nose, "Attention everyone, look at me, I have an announcement to make, I am the new Stand user"?
Before he was certain of his Stand's abilities, Qin Chuan felt it was better not to be so high-profile. He could wait until he was certain of his Stand's abilities before showing off in front of Dio.
By renting a quiet room away from the city center, even if the Stand runs around when it first awakens, it won't be discovered by Dio and his men.
"Hmm... the quantity is just right, so this arrow is yours."
Enya didn't act very generously. Instead, she acted like a shrewd merchant, carefully taking out the cash from her bag and counting it to confirm that the amount was correct.
Qin Chuan also noticed that after Enya took out a large amount of cash from her bag, many people around them cast greedy glances at her.
After all, Enya's appearance is that of a smelly old woman, and her body looks like it would collapse if blown by a gust of wind. With so much money in her hands, she is bound to attract attention.
But if these people really dare to attack Enya, they will probably be the ones who die—Enya's stand "Justice" will show them what it means to be unable to live or die.
Qin Chuan didn't care whether these people would make a move against Enya or what Enya would do to them. He closed the long box containing the arrow, took it in his hand, and prepared to leave.
"By the way, young man, although I don't care where your money comes from, you can come to me anytime if you encounter any difficulties."
Enya spoke again. The bag full of cash was still on her shop, but the zipper was now closed, and from the outside, you would never guess how much money was stuffed inside.
Enya's words were quite meaningful—Qin Chuan took a closer look and his heart sank, because following Enya's gaze, he saw something stuck to the bag full of cash.
It was a trace of blood, seemingly the blood that Kira Yoshihiro spat out when Qin Chuan kicked him in the neck—this blood stained the corner of the bag, but Qin Chuan didn't notice.
Enya noticed this, and she clearly realized that Qin Chuan's money was not from legitimate sources, but she didn't care where the money came from.
The reason why Dio, whom Enya admires, is able to gain a large following of villains is because Dio accepts, approves of, and tolerates their evil.
As one of Dior's die-hard fans, Grandma Enya naturally accepted this idea, so even if Qin Chuan obtained the money through evil means, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
On the contrary, she even felt that Qin Chuan was perfect for joining Dior's team.
“We have some influence in Cairo. We can help you solve some problems, and even tell you the true use of that arrow.”
Enya smiled sinisterly, and her gaze toward Qin Chuan became much more approving.
"If you're willing to pay some compensation in exchange for some help, then come find me anytime. I should be here from now on."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan didn't say much, but simply nodded to Enya before leaving with the arrow. During this time, he also kept abreast of the surrounding "qi" to prevent Enya from controlling others to follow him.
But until he left the market, he did not feel any unusual "qi" anymore.
It seems that Enya really didn't have any ulterior motives in selling this arrow; she just wanted to raise funds. Otherwise, Kira Yoshihiro, an ordinary person, wouldn't have been able to leave Egypt safely with the arrow under the planning of Enya, a Stand user.
As for Enya's offer to Qin Chuan to "pay a reward in exchange for help," it's probably not as simple as just paying cash. It's highly likely that she's asking Qin Chuan to become Dio's subordinate in exchange for him awakening a Stand.
Qin Chuan politely declined this offer. The method to awaken a Stand is simply to be wounded by an arrow; it's not a complicated matter, and Qin Chuan doesn't need to rely on Dio and the others.
As for Enya's eyes that seemed to regard her as a companion... it can only be said that she was overthinking it. Dio does have a certain personal charm, but it is far from enough to make him approve of her.
He was a Saiyan in the Dragon Ball world, and he had met ruthless people who could destroy planets at any time. In his eyes, Dio's narrow-mindedness was really not that great.
Moreover, Dio is his primary objective and a must-kill target in his main mission. From any perspective, it's impossible for him to be on the same side as Dio.
As for the idea that joining Dio might turn him into a vampire... come on, vampires in the JOJO world are practically useless except for their decent regenerative abilities.
Qin Chuan didn't want to become a piece of trash that would be destroyed in the light of day.
Thinking this, Qin Chuan opened the system panel and found that the panel had indeed changed.
[Current World: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]
Main Quest: Defeat Dio
[Player Kobold's strength synchronization status: 10%]
Players are encouraged to progress through the main storyline to unlock synchronized power levels.
Clearly, from the system's perspective, Qin Chuan's acquisition of the "arrow" signifies his efforts to eliminate Dio and advance the main quest, thus directly increasing his strength synchronization rate to 10%.
Unfortunately, Qin Chuan hasn't gained any power in the JOJO world yet, and he'll be empty-handed if he goes out in sync. He still needs to awaken his Stand first.
Chapter Forty: The Substitute, Blackbird
They took the bus back to the outermost part of Cairo and found a hotel room. Qin Chuan sat on the bed, holding the arrow he had taken from the box, feeling a little nervous.
He could vaguely sense that the arrow seemed to be choosing him—which gradually eased some of his initial worries.
After all, awakening a Stand has nothing to do with the strength of the user; it depends entirely on aptitude. Even if someone has a strong physique, they still cannot awaken a Stand after being pierced by an arrow if they lack aptitude.
However, this arrow is a little different. As the "arrow" used by Yoshihiro Kira in Part 4, this arrow itself has the power to automatically find people with Stand aptitude.
In the fourth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Yoshihiro Kira used the arrow's automatic search ability to find many people with Stand potential, awaken their Stands, and send them to intercept the protagonists.
Now, this arrow is like a compass with very weak magnetic force. Although it is not pointing directly at him, Qin Chuan can feel that the arrow is inclined to be aimed at him.
This means that the arrow acknowledges its own potential and believes it is capable of awakening a Stand.
