Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: The Difference in Strength

Lungmen. A portside prison.

"Zip—"

Yu Yachen calmly raised her hand, drawing a zipper on the gray stone wall. She stepped through the opening into a dark hallway.

The lights were dim, the air musty. She disliked it. The hallway entrance was adorned with Egyptian-style stone heads. At the far end, a single room was illuminated.

She had Old Luo investigate and find this prison.

First Arrow: Located in Lungmen, in the hands of Polpo.

This man, Polpo, had been sentenced to 15 years but was still running his operations from inside. He could leave whenever he wanted.

That was Old Luo's intel.

It was just like the JoJo plot. She couldn't quite remember this side character's Stand ability, but he was no threat.

Her canvas shoes echoed in the hall as she approached the room.

The room's outer wall was tempered glass. Inside, it was bright and fully furnished.

Suddenly, the large yellow "bed" in the corner began to... move.

"Oh my. I heard a new recruit was coming for an interview, but the guards didn't inform me?"

The "bed" unfolded, revealing itself to be a morbidly obese man in a yellow suit.

He glanced at his clock.

Seeing the visitor was a delicate, white-haired woman, his tone became careless.

"There are still five minutes."

"That 'new recruit' isn't coming," Yu Yachen said flatly.

"?"

"I had a friend investigate. You're the ones selling drugs in this city?"

Yu Yachen now understood why this organization was after her.

The woman she'd killed, Zhang Fangfang... that damned, drug-addicted, lesbian... she had bought drugs from this "Passione" organization, and that's how they had noticed her.

"Ho ho. It seems you're not here for a simple visit. How did you get in? What do you want?"

Before he could finish, a pale-pink Stand emerged from behind her! Killer Queen smashed its fist into the tempered glass—

"CRASH—!"

It was too fast. A rain of glass shards flew at Polpo.

Enough talk. Just die.

Yu Yachen watched, expressionless, as Polpo shielded his face. A black Stand emerged.

"[Black Sabbath]!"

The black-robed, hat-wearing Stand shot from the shadows, lunging at Killer Queen.

"BAM!"

Its high-speed punch... was easily caught by Killer Queen with one hand.

"?!"

Polpo was stunned. He had his Stand attack again, but Killer Queen simply clamped down on its arm, holding it immobile in mid-air.

"It seems... my [Killer Queen] is superior in both power and speed."

Yu Yachen smiled slightly. Killer Queen held Black Sabbath, as easily as dragging a teenager into an alley.

"A long-range automatic Stand? It seems the main body isn't affected."

Killer Queen grabbed Black Sabbath by the neck like a child, but Polpo himself felt nothing.

The obese man had already pulled out a pistol and opened fire.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Muzzle flashes. But before the bullets could hit her, Killer Queen had already ripped Black Sabbath's head off. The black Stand dissolved into ash, while Killer Queen's other hand blurred in front of Yu Yachen.

Polpo emptied his revolver, but Killer Queen's hand moved so fast it caught all six bullets.

Precision: A. This is the Killer Queen I trained myself.

Killer Queen opened its hand. The six bullets clattered to the floor.

The moment they bounced, Killer Queen was already in front of Polpo, its fist connecting with his face.

"BAM!"

Polpo's face deformed, caving in like a deflating balloon. He slammed into the wall, the impact nearly knocking him out. Yu Yachen had controlled her strength.

It was just enough to make him feel the pain.

"I'm not going to kill you. You're still useful."

"Tell me. Your organization has a cadre named Toppio, correct?"

Killer Queen grabbed Polpo's collar, hauling his mountain-like body up.

[Hermit Purple] could take photos, but it couldn't pinpoint a location. She needed intel on Diavolo.

"..."

Polpo, his teeth knocked out, spat blood. He glared at her.

"Who... who in the hell are you?"

His Black Sabbath had been completely overpowered. He'd never seen anything like it.

"Don't be nervous. If you talk, I'll let you live. How about it?"

"Your organization does have a cadre named Toppio, right?"

Killer Queen's hand tightened on his neck.

"I... I remember... Toppio... he's not in this city... He's just a common street punk... If you... if you have a grudge, go find him..."

"And?"

Killer Queen's arm tightened.

"Ah! AHHHH! Stop! Stop!"

"I don't know where he is! But... you can try your luck in Jiangxia City! That's where our organization's base is!"

"Jiangxia?"

Yu Yachen looked thoughtful. After a moment, she let go.

"Good. I believe you."

The white-haired woman smiled.

Killer Queen faded away. Yu Yachen stepped back, drew a zipper on the wall, and vanished into it, disappearing from Polpo's sight.

"..."

Polpo remained frozen. He couldn't believe she had just... left.

He summoned [Black Sabbath] to scout. There was no trace of her. She was gone.

...But is she really gone?

Polpo didn't dare trust his own Stand.
