KONO DIO DA!

Chapter 12 - Fight between two brothers (I)

With clenched fists, Jonathan vowed, 'Father, Erina, just wait, I will protect you all from Dio! I will not you get in any harm's way.'. With that, he looked toward the setting sun, as he took a breath and jumped out of his window, and rushed toward Dio's office.

He landed on the ground with a small thud and stealthy fled from the landing place to avoid being caught. With his speed, which was further enhanced by Hamon, he appeared to be a blur as he made his way toward Dio's office. He had to jump roofs to not be slowed down and it finally took him an hour to reach the destination.

From a hidden bush, he examined the location to sneak into the office without being detected stealthy.

Looking at how tightly this place was guarded, he thought, 'Sure enough! This feels weird how this place is tightly guarded. Did Dio use the Stone Mask already, so he wanted to avoid the sun as much as possible, so he increased the guard for sure?'

With a little difficulty, he was able finally able to reach the office window as he opened the window slowly and waited cautiously before entering.

Not feeling any danger, he slowly listened carefully for any breathing or movement that might be there. As he attached his eyes to the wall, he heard a muffled noise. It was as if someone was captured and tied such that he cannot make any sound.

Jonathan took a deep breath and entered the room. He knew that this is definitely a trap and Dio knew his weakness, so he captured some people. With anger, he entered the room only to be astonished by what he saw.

(During the Morning time)

Dio lusciously enjoyed the high-quality wine as he watched the sunlight shine in mild irritation. He knew that if Jonathan decided to confront him at this time, he as well accept defeat and go down the path of a goody guy than burn himself in the sun just because of some pride.

Yes, he does have pride, but it doesn't mean that he will care about pride when facing death. It is better to be alive while achieving his dream rather than dying even before he started to take steps toward his dream. And pride is not something that will help him in his journey. Why would he be ignorant and arrogant while facing enemies that can kill him?

With a sign, he felt the wine calming down his tensed muscles. He had been stressed about Jonathan being suddenly reborn, but now calmly thinking about the situation, he felt that it was not such a tense situation that he will surely be killed.

Even if he will be defeated, he will accept defeat and will ask Jonathan to spare him. Surely he might be captured and even confined for several until Jonathan is sure that he would have changed. What he feared the most is Jonathan having some kind of cheat like those in novels that he once read...
Signing again, he looked at his side as the door was knocked. Dio replied, "Enter."

Wang Chan entered the room with an excited smile. "Master, all the plans are completed! I have captured a family that meets all the requirements of the list that Dio-sama has given me beforehand. A family who is from the countryside, have seen the reality, loves and cares for each other and have a lot of distrust toward nobles."

"Hn. Let them understand what they need to do if they don't want anyone to die... "

With a short confirmation, Dio drank all the wine in the glass, loosen his tie, and stood up and walked toward the horse carriage that was prepared for traveling to a secret location.

"As you wish, Dio-sama!"

Wang Chan felt happy! This is one of the times when he felt useful to his master. After the arrival of Speedwagon, most of the business was dropped to him, while Wang Chan felt a bit of a crisis in his position.

Thankfully, from what he noticed, Speedwagon is a good person. So all the dark work will be handed up to him. In this way, he will still be useful to his Master.

A silly smile formed on his face as he followed his master. What he didn't know was that his action lower the trust issues that Dio had, as he was observing Wang Chan's actions.
