JOJO, The Escape from Real Diavolo

Chapter 43 Leaving Italy

He remembered something: he was penniless.

"...I don't have a single penny on me, not a single penny of my money, not a single one of my billions in assets!...I still haven't found it."

The path to escape Italy was right before him, yet he could not take another step.

"Go steal it... even though it's not really right."

He didn't feel guilty, but after careful consideration, his sixth sense told him that Rongrong wouldn't be able to catch up with him anytime soon, so he decided to go back to his old ways of stealing.

"Hey! Old lady! Can't you watch where you're going?"

The angry roar didn't frighten the hard-of-hearing old woman, who didn't even realize she was blocking the path of a rogue.

However, it startled Chen Miaowen, as if he thought he had escaped to safety, only to be caught up by the enemy and stopped by their call.

Fortunately, it was just a petty thug you could find anywhere.

"You damn old hag, you're ignoring me again?"

The thug came from the right side of the old woman, so she didn't block his way.

He tried to slap the clothes out of his mother-in-law's hand, but Chen Miaowen stopped him and grabbed his wrist firmly.

"Who the hell are you?!"

With a sharp twist, the thug's hand bones were crushed.

The thug fell to the ground and rolled around, wailing loudly.

"Sir, what happened?"

It wasn't until this moment that the old woman realized what was happening. After all, the thug's heart-wrenching screams were coming from right beside her feet. She was hard of hearing, not deaf, so she couldn't ignore such a sound.

"It's nothing. Do you know this friend?"

"Ah, friend, I've bumped into him a few times, haha... Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I knocked him over once... Luckily, he's very forgiving and forgave me for just some money. He's such a good person... But what's wrong with him now... Did I do something again?"

"Oh, is that so? I understand, Mother-in-law. But it's alright, I'll help you handle this."

He rubbed his fists together and dragged the thug away.

The thug's face showed only pain and despair.

However, the mother-in-law still felt that she had done something wrong, so she lowered her head and apologized.

"Excuse me, sir."

......

Chen Miaowen has become rich and has also obtained some information from someone.

He planned to catch a 6:30 ferry and then leave Italy.

"Mother-in-law, I'm about to leave. I've also helped you resolve that matter with your friend. He said he's forgiven you and will try his best to avoid contact with you here."

"Oh? Oh... thank you, sir. It's a bit of a shame, but I wish you a pleasant journey!"

He boarded the ship, paying a considerable fee to get on this tourist ship bound for Egypt.

He was genuinely surprised to find people seeing him off.

"Farewell, Mother-in-law; farewell, Italy; farewell, Giorno Giovanna."

After sharing his thoughts, he entered the ship without looking back, as if he were riding some kind of Gu worm and sailing away in style.

"Hey kid, watch where you're going. This is the territory we've reserved."

As soon as he boarded the ship, he ran into a wall. Although he was stopped by the ship's bodyguards, he was not angry. Instead, he went around the magnificent and extraordinary cabin in front of him and walked to the other side of the ship.

This so-called tourist ship is actually the private property of one person. The trip was just a whim of a rich young man. In order to make his trip to Egypt more exciting, he organized this trip and sold tickets to outsiders.

The thug had finally managed to get the ticket and funds to board the ship, but by sheer coincidence, Chen Miaowen took it all.

The ship weighed anchor and left the port.

He also arrived at the other side of the ship's cabin. Compared to the bright and beautiful cabin there, this side was rather ordinary, and even seemed a bit shabby.

"What kind of ship is this? There are several cabins still on the deck? Shouldn't they all be built below deck?"

He later learned why the cabin was built up there: it was to distinguish certain things.

However, like other ships, there are countless small bars and cubicles hidden below the cabins.

"...And even a single ship can have a wealth gap?"

"Of course, most people have spent too much money to buy this ticket, or they need to save some money for the auction, so they don't have any extra money and just rest here... By the way, that's not where the prince is, it's just a noble friend of his? I'm not too sure."

Someone inside the cabin struck up a conversation with him; he was a boy of about eighteen or nineteen, who looked a bit like Nalanjia.

"A prince? Who's that?"

Nalanjia looked at him as if he were a fool.

"You didn't know? Then how did you get on the ship? He gave you your ticket!"

He really didn't know.

So he sat down and decided to get into a fight with the man.

……

"Where should we go now?"

"Should we go find that bastard?"

"Which bastard? The Crimson King? Or that mysterious, beautiful one…?"

"You talk too much nonsense...Satan!"

"...Excuse my bluntness, host, neither of them will work."

The demon crawled out of the grave, observed for a while, and only returned to the square after confirming that Rongrong had left. However, the square had changed and was completely sealed off.

"They are all too troublesome."

"So what should I do next?"

"We should eat something first, shouldn't we?"

Although the square has been cordoned off by the police, some restaurants nearby are still open for business.

He touched his belly and agreed with Satan's statement.

After observing from outside the door for a long time to confirm that there was no potential threat, I slowly pushed the door open, with different feelings.

"It's not much different from what I dreamed about, but I've never tasted human food before!"

"Why? Haven't you always been inside my body?"

"To be precise, it is the eyes. My soul resides within the eyes; it can only see, not eat."

"If the soul can take control, I can taste these things in reality, and it can also help satisfy my body's hunger."

"Then you take the lead. I don't have much of an appetite, so you can have a taste."

They ordered a lot of food, and Satan wanted to eat everything, but couldn't finish it all.

He could only stare blankly at the remaining table of delicacies.

"There's still so much left, Master, your body can't hold it all."

"Never mind then, let's go."

He regained control of his body. Before that, he had a feeling that his real self had become a ghost, floating in the air watching his body devour itself.

After his soul returned to his body, he was in a daze.

"Knot……"

He beckoned a waiter over, and in front of the smiling employee, he checked his pockets, only to find that he didn't have a single penny in them.

"I don't think I have any money."

The waiter immediately lost his temper.

"Boss! Someone's trying to dine and dash!"

It was morning, and Yedan was the only guest.

So this shout not only summoned the boss, but also drew all the idle waiters to gather around.

"At such a young age, instead of learning good habits, you're trying to dine and dash like gangsters?"

"I don't care what age you are! If you don't pay, you're not leaving!"

The crowd charged menacingly toward the demon.

"you……"

He had never experienced such treatment before; in reality, he had never even eaten at such a restaurant.

"No, Master, using my abilities here might bring disaster again. Besides, because of that soul's departure, my abilities..."

"What should I do then?"

"What are you going to do? Whether you work or whatever, you have to pay back your food bill before you can leave!"
