Chapter 3: Human Trafficking to Diablo
Chapter 3: Human Trafficking to Diablo
There was indeed a helicopter. Chen Miaowen boarded the helicopter as Tobio, exchanged glances with the other two passengers who boarded with him, and nodded slightly as a greeting.
He had already paid before boarding the plane.
Although he had just said he would seal the Stand, he regretted it as soon as he said it. Without the existence of the Red King, who is invisible to ordinary people, he could not get the money, and without the money, he could not do anything.
In the vast airport, he looked around and, seeing no one approaching, quietly called out to Red King. He then took some banknotes from passersby and scraped together enough money to board the plane, leaving him with some surplus.
"Don't blame me, NPCs, I had no choice."
I still feel guilty, but only for a moment.
He is, of course, prioritizing his own interests.
Once everyone had arrived, the driver started the engine.
"Hey, redhead, are you going to Rome too?"
One of the female passengers asked him a question, and the one who answered was another man, a man in his thirties.
"Rome? The destination isn't Florence?"
While the two were still in a daze, Chen Miaowen had already anticipated what was going to happen, but it was too late. He wanted to summon the Crimson King, but he had no strength left and fainted inside the helicopter. The other two did the same.
Half a minute later, only the pilot's hearty laughter could be heard from inside the plane, which sounded somber due to his gas mask.
The helicopter flew away into the distance.
......
Chen Miaowen woke up quickly, breaking out in a cold sweat that soaked his entire body.
When they opened their eyes, they found themselves and the other passengers bound hand and foot, trapped in an unfamiliar building, which resembled a dimly lit stadium or a warehouse.
"Oh, you're awake. Welcome to your final destination—the Calabria region."
The man holding the gas mask happened to notice Chen Miaowen's awakening and explained to him with a grin,
"You've been sold to us! Please take good care of us from now on."
Chen Miaowen was actually relieved, at least he hadn't died under mysterious circumstances.
In contrast, the other two passengers who woke up were terrified.
"No, human trafficking? Why would I be sold?"
"God! Why are you doing this to me? What will become of my freedom?!"
The man found the terrified screams strangely pleasurable, and then kicked the male passenger who was lying on the ground crying loudly. The force he used seemed abnormal.
"Stand Master?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
The man approached, seemingly about to kick Chen Miaowen.
He then discovered that a hole had been inexplicably punched through his right thigh.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"
Chen Miaowen broke free of his restraints, and the ferocious face of the Crimson King appeared behind him.
"I won't kill you, but please tell me where this is, and any wealth or strongholds you've gained from human trafficking."
Chen Miaowen grabbed the man's hair, revealing a grimacing, crying face.
Please tell me everything.
"..."
Chen Miaowen never imagined that he would not only leave Naples, but also be only a stone's throw away from Sicily, and even own an airplane.
"I have... this is all the money I have. Besides these, I only have a pen... Our base is in Rome... Please, have mercy and don't kill me..."
Chen Miaowen is not a boss; he doesn't have the easy mindset of killing people like cutting melons and vegetables. He was always very careful when using his Stand's power.
Even after he stopped, with Crimson King's A-rank Strength and Speed stats, he still managed to pierce the man's thigh, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.
Chen Miaowen was a man of his word; he said he wouldn't kill him, and he didn't. However, evil people still need to be punished; breaking a leg and preventing him from committing evil again would be enough.
"Of course, I'm a good person, but I still need a pilot to fly that helicopter."
The human trafficker, lying on the ground bleeding profusely, forced a smile.
"I am a pilot, but... my legs are failing me, I need to recuperate..."
There was no time for him to recuperate. Although he had already left Naples, it wasn't impossible for Rongrong to come here.
Chen Miaowen also thought a lot and finally decided that his destination would be Egypt. He wanted to find the last missing arrow of the six arrows there. If that arrow was the Insect Arrow, he might be able to awaken the Requiem, which might allow him to fight against but not kill Rongrong, or escape its endless pursuit.
Even if it doesn't work out, he has to run away; the farther away from Italy, the better.
"Are there no other pilots?"
"without..."
"I, I will..."
Of the two kidnapped passengers, the woman shakily raised her hand, interrupting the kidnappers.
"I've learned to fly helicopters..."
"Okay, then it's you."
Chen Miaowen squatted down to untie him and released the male passenger. As soon as he was released, the man ran towards the door, muttering something under his breath. His pants were wet, indicating that he had peed himself in fright.
"Then...what about me?"
The human trafficker, sweating profusely, lay on the ground, too afraid to move.
"You are free."
Chen Miaowen led the girl out, thoughtfully closing the door behind him, leaving the man bleeding profusely behind.
"...fuck you!!!"
......
The familiar helicopter was parked on the yard outside, and Chen Miaowen's location seemed to be near a hospital.
"Where...would you like to go?"
Chen Miaowen turned around and finally saw the girl's face clearly. She looked somewhat similar to Trish, and they seemed to be about the same age, except that her hair was golden and much longer than her daughter's.
"To Sicily, Palermo, the capital."
......
Chen Miaowen finally had the chance to look down on the world, although it was during his escape, and the process was somewhat shaky.
"I'm very sorry, I haven't had much real-world experience..."
The girl was flustered. In his previous life, Chen Miaowen would have been scared, but he had the ability to control time. Even if the helicopter was about to crash into the ground, he was confident that he could get the woman away safely.
"Um, my name is Theresa, may I ask...?"
"Dorbio, you can also call me Redhead's Friend."
"Uh... that was just a joke, I have to respect you."
"Then call me boss. You'll be my employee. I might need your help when I get there, and you'll definitely be well paid."
"No, no, no need. I helped you voluntarily. You are my savior, I don't need any money..."
"So you're going to work for me for free? Forget it, I'm not some heartless boss."
Theresa gripped the steering wheel tightly, and the helicopter finally stopped shaking.
"Besides, aren't you going to Rome?"
"I'm fine with going anywhere, but... I don't want to stay in Naples."
It seems that women always have some stories. Chen Miaowen didn't pay attention to it. The drug seemed to still be working. He felt a little tired and decided to take a nap.
"How long will it take to reach our destination?"
"Hmm, it will take about four hours? ...Actually, I'm not too sure. I know a little about Palermo, but I've never been there. I can check the map."
"Then it's up to you."
