Chapter 100: Hibernation "You want to surrender to Fani Valen...
"You want to surrender to Fanny Valentine?" Mary was confused by Diego's words again. She thought this guy was speaking sarcastically, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be joking.
"That's right." Diego's expression turned grim. When he got excited, his teeth would grow uncontrollably long, pressing against his lower lip, looking a bit scary.
"I think it's because my world's counterpart had some conflict with that damn pink tire, which led him to want to kill my own version of me." Diego's voice was low. "In the three months you were gone, he's tried to murder me no less than five times."
It was sick, like something Fanny Valentine would do.
But what's even more outrageous is that Diego is still alive and well after such an attack, without a single part missing. This is truly a miracle worth bragging about.
Mary knew better than anyone how ruthless Fani's attack was. If he chose to act, he would not allow anyone to survive and would kill them instantly. It seemed that with the departure of her and Blackmoya, the assassins in the organization were no more than this.
Unaware of the slight smugness rising within her, Mary continued to observe Diego cautiously. No matter how gentle and polite he appeared, or how he acted like a victim, she knew he wasn't a pushover.
Diego thought about what happened before. The anger he felt at that time had not been extinguished. It only took a little wind to set the prairie fire on fire in his heart and make him go crazy with rage.
The so-called president is just an old man in his forties. Since they are all human beings, Diego doesn't think he is much worse than that guy.
In fact, when he said he wanted to kill the president, it was not a fake joke, but he really had such thoughts, but he knew that the time was not right.
He has always been a vengeful person, and Fani Valentine's actions directly sentenced Diego to death in his heart.
He hadn't yet achieved his goal, nor did he have the strength to challenge the national government and kill Fani Valentine. All he could do now was feign surrender and then slowly work his way back.
But even though he had all the plans in place, he himself didn't even have the ability to meet the president in person, and had no way to surrender, so he could only pin his hopes on Mary.
Mary, on the other hand, wasn't sure why Diego would make such an outrageous decision: "Are you... not kidding? Are you sure you want to work for Fani Valentine?"
"What else can I do?" Diego frowned, looking aggrieved and pitiful. This was the most lovable expression he designed in the mirror.
He must catch Mary, she is his lifeline.
He looked into Mary's eyes and smiled bitterly, like a poor man about to be killed by a powerful force: "I am just an ordinary horse racer. If Fanny Valentine is determined to kill me, then there is no possibility for me to survive. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have died long ago."
He counted on his fingers and told Mary about his previous experiences: "The first time, they poisoned my water cup. After the horse race, I was about to drink the water, but I smelled something in the cup that I didn't usually smell. I finally took it to the hospital for testing, and it turned out to be highly toxic."
"Hiss..." Mary gasped. The chances of being discovered by the public while poisoning someone in public were high, but the odds of success were also high. Mary definitely wouldn't drink the water when she was thirsty and in the spotlight.
If Diego had not been so cautious, when Mary came back, she would have seen not Diego himself but his tombstone.
"After his first attempt failed, Fani Valentine immediately launched a second assassination attempt. This time, he sent a Stand." Diego still felt a lingering fear when he thought about that incident. "The target was a young woman. She was among my fans and asked for an autograph. I naturally didn't refuse such a small request."
"But I didn't expect that she had already written down how I was going to die on a piece of paper, folded it into a heart shape, and handed it to me. As long as I signed it without being pressured, the contract would take effect. My body began to move forward involuntarily. As long as I saw a wall, I would hit myself to death."
Did he actually recruit such a strange Stand User while she was away?
Just hearing Diego say that, she started to get nervous: "And then?"
"And then?" Diego sneered. "It was a public place, and I couldn't transform into a dinosaur and tear her limbs apart. So I kissed her face and told her she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. Sure enough... she was violently attacked by my fans and thrown to the ground. Then, I took the opportunity to transform myself into a small dinosaur, crawled under the woman's collar, and bit open her aorta, averting the crisis."
Even though Diego hadn't explained how the remaining three assassinations were to be carried out, Mary knew how dangerous the situation was.
No wonder Diego wanted to see her. Whether it was to protect him or to convey his message to the president, she was the best and only candidate.
"Oh..." Mary couldn't stop sighing, as if she couldn't understand why she always got trapped in the whirlpool.
Fanny Valentine was not a person who abused his power. On the contrary, he would win over anyone who was useful to him, regardless of past grudges. Just like Mary, who was obviously a killer, was eventually recruited into Fanny's camp.
In the magical other world, Fani is penniless and an illegal resident, so it is naturally impossible for him to defeat the time-based vampire DIO. However, in the main world, he is the president of the country, possessing supreme power and so many stand users under him.
It would be ridiculous to be afraid of Diego, who can't even enter the White House.
His desire to kill Diego couldn't be due to hatred from another world, nor could it be due to his closeness to Mary. After all, Johnny, who had no power and couldn't escape, was the one closest to Mary. The fact that he was still alive and kicking could only mean that there was something else going on.
Why did Fani Valentine hide those memories?
Why did Diego have to die?
Was she over-complicating things? Perhaps she had inadvertently elevated Fanny Valentine's image, believing him to be a machine for rational judgment.
What if the other party just feels that DIO almost killed him, so he wants to kill his counterpart in the parallel world to vent his anger?
There were so many twists and turns that Mary had lost interest in exploring.
"How exactly do you want to surrender?" Mary brought the subject back. "I can't just tell Fani that Diego has given up and wants to be your subordinate."
Diego clenched his hands into fists behind his back. He knew that Mary was not a fool who would be blinded by lust after a few teasings with her beauty. But he did not expect that after hearing so many of his tragic experiences, Mary would be indifferent and had no intention of standing up for him.
Damn, he miscalculated.
It is impossible to say that he is not disappointed. Perhaps Mary does not believe it, and even he himself finds it a little unbelievable. But after experiencing the battle together, they did not abandon each other, and she became the only person Diego trusted.
But Diego is Diego. He is a man who can even cruelly use himself. There is no reason to waste Mary.
He had thought that if Mary was surprised by what she said to him, or even felt that it was outrageous, he would immediately repent and say that it was just angry words. After Mary put those words behind her, he would act on his own.
If Mary agrees with his ideas, so much the better. He will use various methods to bind them into a community of interests. At the same time, he will reach out to the president's substitute messengers, quietly strengthening himself and rebelling against Valentine.
What if I have to bow to my enemies in order to realize my dream?
Wasn't it because he was lurking around the old woman that he acquired a million-dollar fortune at such a young age?
These things have whetted Diego's appetite. Not only is he not satisfied with the wealth that is enough for him to squander for a lifetime, but he is looking forward to the next million falling into his pocket.
What he lacks the least is patience.
However, it seems that Mary is neither of them. She seems to be standing in the perspective of an observer, watching his one-man show without getting involved.
After expelling the foul air in his heart, Diego's expression was still pitiful, and he didn't reveal any flaws. "So, Mary, what do you say? What do you think I should do?"
Mary looked at Diego and remembered how high-spirited he once was, and couldn't help sighing.
But she still didn't know what to do?
She hadn't even figured out the matter between herself and Fani Valentine's body, so how could she let Fani recruit Diego, who was going to kill him?
Could it be that she was going to hand over another handle to the foolish Fani so that the issue would continue for another five years?
Just thinking about it makes me collapse
But if she just watched Diego die without helping him, it would be impossible for Mary to do that.
What should I do?
Let her think about it... and think about it again...
Mary's silence made Diego's mind race. Just as he was thinking about how to pry the other person's mouth open, Mary asked a strange question: "What if... I mean, what if something splits into many pieces? If you smell the scent of one piece, can you find the other pieces?"
If it weren't for Mary, Diego would have almost thought that the other person was humiliating him as a dog.
Diego wasn't a good-tempered guy, but he could be extremely patient with people and things that interested him. "What you said is too scattered. How can I possibly guarantee it? But my sense of smell is indeed many times better than that of an average person. If you have a rough idea of where those things are, handing them over to me would definitely be a good choice."
He crossed his arms proudly across his chest. "My terrifying beast is no playboy. If you ask someone else to solve this problem, they will definitely not be as good as me."
When Mary heard Diego's words, she was uncontrollably moved.
She ran to find the body alone, and had to bring Johnny, who had to push a wheelchair, so you can imagine how slow it was. But if she had a helper, the result would be completely different.
She knew Diego was very smart and must be a good finder.
Rather than letting Diego surrender and serve the president, it would be better...
Diego noticed that Mary's expression was filled with unexpected excitement and agitation. Just when he thought she had come up with a good idea, she suddenly said something outrageous: "How about this, you do something for me and I'll protect you."
