Just then, Steven arrived with news, "The holder of the saint's right arm has been found, but..."
"Just what?" Valentine's current target is the remains. As for the group of wealthy upper-class people on the ship, they can't escape!
What a coincidence! Diablo thought the same thing!
Steven glanced warily at Hertpanz, then whispered in Valentine's ear.
Upon hearing this, Valentine flew into a rage, shouting, "What the hell! How dare they play me like this!"
He then prepared to leave, but Valentine gave up when his hand was already on the doorknob.
"No, I can't rush things. Diego is still lurking in the shadows, watching us closely. I can't show myself easily."
In the end, he gave up.
"We need to lure Diego out first, otherwise he'll be a threat on the ship."
Valentine then assigned Steven a task.
On this day, Diablo found no opportunity to contact Valentine, and even Steven was nowhere to be seen.
"This is a bit tricky! How can we get them to start fighting first?"
To be honest, Diego's move was really clever, because he was already suspected, and by faking his death, he fooled most of the guests and avoided being blocked at the door by Valentine's men.
Now he has to create conflict between Diego and Valente.
"Speaking of which, besides the three of us, who else possesses the remains of a saint?" Diablo thought to himself after considering this question.
But before he could make a move, Steven sent a message through his bodyguard, saying that Mr. Steven invited him to have a chat.
Asking him to come over at this point, even a fool could tell that they were going to meet Valentine!
Having tested the waters last time, Valentine certainly wouldn't waste any more time, so this time the person he was meeting was Valentine himself.
But Diablo didn't intend to meet him so easily.
When you're out and about, guys also need to take care of themselves.
Diavolo led Yoshikage Kira to a secluded room; tonight's event was a fundraising drive.
Diablo didn't want to participate in such activities anyway. His money was hard-earned, and he was destitute. Where would he get the money to donate to others?
He's still waiting for others to do charity for him!
Once inside the room, Diablo casually sat down on the sofa, then looked at Steven and said, "It's time to invite the big shot behind you to make his appearance!"
Steven hadn't expected him to be so direct, and just as he was trying to cover something up, the door to the inner room was suddenly opened.
The person who stepped out was none other than Valentine.
This was also the first meeting between Valente and Diablo.
“Valentine, you’ve finally come out.” Diablo was somewhat surprised, but more so wary.
Because he didn't know why Valentine had summoned him!
Valentine waved for Steven to leave first, then sat down on the sofa opposite Diablo. "It's good to meet you, Diablo."
"Oh? Who are you? You've actually heard of me?" Diablo pretended to be clueless as usual, determined not to make the first move.
Seeing this, Valentine realized that this guy wasn't a brainless good-for-nothing, so he didn't care about his feigned stupidity.
“My name is Valentine, and I am the true initiator of this cruise trip.” Valentine did not intend to expose this fact. “I heard that you also have the remains of a saint.”
Seeing that he had said that, Diablo could no longer pretend to be stupid, after all, he was facing an old fox!
“Yes, of course I have one, but it seems I can’t use the remains.” As he spoke, the eyes of the remains appeared on Diablo’s face, and then quickly merged into his body.
“I can fuse the remains into my body, but I can’t use it.”
Upon hearing this, Valentine understood why these people didn't care about the saint's remains. It turned out that the people of this world couldn't be compatible with the power of the saint's remains and therefore couldn't use it.
No wonder Gaia was willing to use his body to ask me to cooperate in killing Diablo; now I understand.
Valentine breathed a sigh of relief at the news, but he couldn't show it now. "If that's the case, then the remains aren't anything important to you, are they?"
"How about we make a deal?"
Upon hearing this, Diablo remained silent, intending to observe how much Valente would offer.
"I can hand over the Italian illegal drug supply chain to you. I'm sure it will make you a lot of money!" Valentine said confidently.
But after he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold, making Valentine think that the air conditioner was broken!
Diablo's lips twitched slightly. "Are you implying that you're the one selling illegal drugs on my turf?"
“It’s me, but I can hand over this line to you in the future, or give you the entire European sales route.”
Valentine learned from Gaia that Diablo was greedy and avaricious, but he didn't know that they hadn't developed the highly profitable industry of illegal drugs!
Therefore, he assumed that Diablo did not have such channels, so he offered to hand over the sales channels to him!
But Kira couldn't help but tense up, because Diavolo hated that kind of business the most! He would never touch such things!
However, Diablo did not immediately turn hostile, but instead gave a wry smile, "Mr. Valentine, we don't do this kind of business."
"What? You don't do this kind of business?" Valentine was also taken aback; Gaia hadn't told him such important information.
Sure enough, they had been plotting against me from the very beginning.
“Next, let’s talk about the recent sale of illegal drugs to me,” Diablo’s face darkened.
Chapter 411 Two Old Foxes
Seeing him like this, Valentine also panicked a little.
He didn't want to offend Diablo, because he had no intention of helping the Gaia organization, so he tried to avoid provoking Diablo if possible.
Steven had been investigating day and night for the past few days, and all they knew was that Diablo's background was extremely mysterious, so they couldn't afford to offend him easily.
After all, Steven was just a simple arms dealer and drug trafficker, and he couldn't possibly stand up to any of their organizations.
"So that's how it is. I was really confused to try to defile this pure land. It was my mistake," Valentine apologized to Diablo.
Diablo did not intend to linger on this issue for long.
"Since we're all sensible people, let's be frank and speak openly!" Valentine decided to stop pretending.
“Mr. Diablo, Gaia’s people have found me and want to use me to get rid of you!”
Even Diablo was somewhat surprised to hear this news directly.
Since Valentine dared to reveal this information, there are only three possible explanations.
Either he's an idiot who carelessly reveals important information.
Either he's working with Gaia to release distracting information to confuse himself.
Or... he's gambling!
"Oh?" Diablo's eyes flickered. "Mr. Valentine must have heard that I have a great grudge against the Gaia organization, right?"
"I know a little bit," Valentine said calmly.
"Then you still dare to say these things to me? Aren't you afraid I'll attack you?" At this moment, Diablo's entire body erupted with crimson flames.
Valentine was extremely nervous, but it was too late for him to regret it.
“Since I dare to say it, I must have my reasons!” Valentine also unleashed his blue aura, standing in opposition to him.
Seeing that they were about to make a move, Yoshikage Kira immediately summoned his Stand, "Killer Queen."
A large pink cat suddenly appeared, ready to launch an attack.
However, Diablo suddenly withdrew his arrogance and said to Valentine with a friendly expression, "Since you told me this news on your own initiative, you must have your own plans, right?"
Huh? Aren't you going to fight? Yoshikage Kira was stunned.
The situation was tense, like two sides were about to clash, but before the boss even said anything about fighting, one of his underlings pulled out a gun!
"Kira, you're being too impulsive! Quickly send the big cat back. What if it scares Mr. Valentine?"
The two sides returned to their original state.
“Yes, I have no intention of helping Gaia.” Valentine made no attempt to hide his disdain for Gaia.
"Why?" Although he knew that someone like Valentine couldn't possibly get along with Gaia, Diablo still wanted to hear what he had to say.
"Do you know about predators in nature?" Valentine didn't answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.
"There are countless predators in nature, some of whom are even natural enemies. However, top predators will never seek help to defeat their enemies. Those who seek help are the weaker ones."
Seeing his words, Diablo deliberately contradicted him, "Is that so? But using one wolf to devour another is a common tactic, isn't it? Or have you seen the whole picture of Gaia?"
The meaning of this statement is clear: he does not believe that Valentine defected because he thought Gaia was weak.
Seeing how difficult he was to deal with, Valentine was secretly amazed. This kind of person was more dangerous than Gaia and his gang!
Fortunately, I didn't treat him as an enemy directly.
"Actually, I am not from this world!"
Valentine's words stunned Diavolo and Yoshikage Kira.
It wasn't that they had forgotten about it, but rather that they hadn't expected Valentine to bring it up on his own initiative.
It's important to understand that while this information may not be of much use, it is largely considered a matter of personal privacy.
By doing this, he was essentially undressing in front of Diablo.
However, Diablo had no intention of revealing that he already knew about this; he wanted to see more from Valentine!
"Another world?" Diablo exclaimed in amazement, feigning as if he were hearing it for the first time.
Yoshikage Kira was already used to Diavolo's dramatic nature, so he joined in his exclamations.
Seeing their reaction, Valentine smiled slightly. "Yes, I come from another world. I am Fanny Valentine, the president of the United States in 1890!"
He brought this up on his own initiative partly to show his sincerity, and partly to test what his arrival had to do with them.
But Valente couldn't see any flaws in Diablo's superb acting skills.
"It's another world! This is amazing!"
After saying this, Valentine looked at Diablo, "I collect the remains of saints mainly so that my country may be blessed with happiness!"
