Their commission was suspicious.

Suddenly, a huge figure emerged from Chen Luo's shadow.

The sight of the half-human, half-snake creature inspires fear.

The scepter in his hand, which wields the power of thunder, is equally terrifying... The most obvious manifestation of this is that the old man feels his hair is about to stand on end due to static electricity.

Static electricity is also electricity.

"Wow, what an amazing spirit backing you." The old man took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his brow.

Whether it was the old man's imagination or not, he always felt that this stand-in was watching him.

"What is Dio's Stand ability?"

"As far as I know, it should be a time stop," Chen Luo said.

"...A terrifying ability. Thank you for telling me," the old man said sincerely.

The most terrifying aspect of time manipulation is probably its ability to kill at first sight.

"In return, I want to remind you of something: if you use mind control to control Kaz, be prepared for him to break free. Dio also had a method of controlling people, but it was successfully cracked by my grandson yesterday. So, methods of controlling people are not always reliable," the old man said seriously after taking a sip of tea.

The old man knew that Katz was a more formidable opponent than Dio.

"Oh, please rest assured about that. I'm not using low-level control methods like Dio's flesh buds. It's more like a Stand ability. The target has to consume it, and because the conditions are so demanding, the control is very strong," Chen Luo said.

"Eat it..." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, the old man subconsciously looked at the pastries that Chen Luo had laid out on the table.

Luckily, I didn't eat those pastries.

"Of course, it can also dissolve in water."

"Pfft!" Seeing that his cup of black tea was almost empty, the old man spat out a mouthful of tea.

Chapter 2085 Reward for the Commission - Substitute (Ultimate Version)!

"Sir, please don't get so worked up. I was just joking."

"Ahem, you can't joke like that." Joseph Joestar's heart was pounding just now.

"Okay. Actually, my ability doesn't need any medium at all. You were already under my control before you even realized you had become my puppet."

"..."

"However, I obviously won't lay a hand on any customers who enter the bar. The reason I attacked Kaz is because he tried to beat me up as soon as I woke him up."

“Oh, then he certainly deserves it,” Joseph Joestar retorted sarcastically without any politeness.

However, when he saw Katz standing expressionlessly behind Chen Luo, Joseph Joestar lost interest and even showed a look of pity.

After all, becoming a doll probably isn't a very pleasant experience.

"Old man, you don't really think I'm in a bad situation right now, do you?" Noticing the old man's strange gaze, Kaz finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Oh, isn't that so?" It's rare to run into a rival from his youth, and since he's currently free, the old man is in the mood to argue with him.

Now that our former, extremely hateful rival has become his puppet, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate not to take the opportunity to mock him?

"Hahahaha!" Upon thinking of this, the old man burst into laughter.

"Heh, old man, you still have the nerve to laugh out loud? Look at you, you're probably about to die in your coffin." Kaz sneered.

Without joining the glorious Paradise Adventurer Evolution Path, one simply cannot understand how magnificent Paradise truly is!

Life here is worry-free, and there's absolutely no sense of growth or development. As long as you're willing to work hard, you can continuously become stronger!

"Oh."

"Oh."

The two old rivals snorted coldly and stopped arguing.

It's possible that before Chen Luo arrived, the two of them had already finished hurling insults at each other while they were smashing, looting, and burning things in the bar.

All we can do now is mock each other.

"Mr. Joestar, something's happened! Hmm? Mr. Joestar, where are you? And what's this door?" Joestar's familiar voice came from outside the old man's door that wasn't closed.

“Oh, I’m in this bar,” the old man replied.

“This is my friend, Avdol, who is also a Stand user. He must have something important to tell me,” the old man introduced to Chen Luo.

The old man then put down his teacup, got up, and walked outside.

"How are you feeling?" Chen Luo looked up at Kaz.

“Although I knew he was old, I didn’t expect him to have become such an old man. Life is unpredictable… But I’m looking forward to seeing his pained expression,” Kaz said with a hint of schadenfreude.

If it were Kars before he was turned into a puppet, he wouldn't have minded adding a bit more trouble for the old man. Now that he's been turned into a puppet, his values ​​have shifted slightly towards Chen Luo's, so he's just become a source of amusement.

If Kars isn't mistaken, the fact that Joseph Joestar, dressed in pajamas, could chat so casually must have been before the main story began.

There aren't many things that could make Stand user Avdol so anxious right now.

"Holly!" Sure enough, not long after, the old man's sorrowful cries came from outside the bar.

"Mrs. Holly also has a Stand. But this Stand hurt her. I was secretly relieved, thinking that only JoJo and Mr. Joestar were affected by Dio's body, and that Mrs. Holly was unaffected. Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking on my part. It's impossible for her to be unaffected. As long as she has Joestar family blood in her veins, she will inevitably be affected by Dio," Avdol said in a heavy tone.

"A Stand is controlled by the user's strong will and driven by their fighting instincts. Mrs. Holly is gentle and has no resistance to Dio's curse. She is powerless to control her Stand, so now the Stand is backfiring on her and harming her. The situation is bad. If this continues, she will die. She will be killed by her Stand."

Abdel measured Mrs. Holly, who was running a high fever, with the back of his hand as he spoke. She was Joseph Joestar's biological daughter.

“The thing I feared most has happened. A Stand has appeared in my own daughter... I knew she might not be able to resist, might not have the power to fight against the curse emanating from Dio’s soul.”

As soon as Chen Luo went outside, he saw the old man grabbing his grandson's collar like a helpless child, crying and roaring.

But the old man's crying didn't last long, because his grandson grabbed his wrist, pulling him out of his grief.

"Tell me, what's the solution?"

"There is only one way, and that is to find Dio, kill Dio, and break the curse. That is the only way!" the old man replied after forcing himself to calm down.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Um... could I try?" Chen Luo broke the silence, holding the crystal ball in his hand.

"You...are you sure you can do it? Chen Luo, you're not a Stand user, are you?"

How can you solve a problem if you can't even touch it? That's what the old man was thinking.

“Although I am not a Stand user, it doesn’t mean I can’t see Stands.” Chen Luo shook his head.

"Besides, my treatment methods might be a little different from others. In short, besides killing Dio now, I'm the only one you can trust. Why not give it a try? And before you set off to kill Dio, were you really going to let this respectable lady have a high fever? She looks like she's in a lot of pain," Chen Luo asked, pointing at Holly.

"Old man, can he be trusted?" Jotaro Kujo looked at Chen Luo, who had come uninvited, and Kars, who was following behind Chen Luo and exuded a sense of threat, and then looked at the old man.

"I don't know. But it's worth a try." The old man hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

Although the old man still doesn't understand the situation with the bar, after all, even if someone is very carefree and suddenly comes to a bar and sees an enemy, they can't easily believe anything that person says about the bar, right?

But the old man always felt that Chen Luo seemed trustworthy.

"Then give it a try. I'll be watching from the sidelines. If you can heal her, I'll give you whatever you want. But if you try to hurt her, Star Platinum will teach you a lesson." Jotaro Kujo summoned his Stand and watched Chen Luo's every move intently.

Jotaro Kujo would naturally be extremely wary of someone who didn't even fully trust the person who brought him in, let alone ask him to treat his mother.

"Doctor..." Fu Hua, who had been following behind Chen Luo, felt that there was something behind Jotaro Kujo, but she couldn't see it clearly, so she murmured Chen Luo's name with some doubt.

"Use Feather Dust to observe, and you'll be able to see what's behind her," Chen Luo reminded her.

Only Stand users can see Stands; this is a rule. However, the existence of visitors from other worlds breaks this rule.

Chen Luo was able to see the Stand because of his reconnaissance abilities. Fu Hua didn't, but she possessed a Divine Key crafted from the core of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

After using Feather Dust, Fu Hua opened her eyes again and indeed saw the robust figure behind Jotaro Kujo.

Meanwhile, Chen Luo had already walked towards his mother, Mrs. Holly, under Jotaro Kujo's slightly wary gaze.

“Indeed, as you said, this is because Mrs. Holly’s mental strength is insufficient to support the Stand, resulting in a backlash from the Stand. So now there are two solutions.” After approaching and giving it a brief look, Chen Luo immediately said.

In fact, this kind of thing didn't only happen to Mrs. Holly; some chosen ones who awakened their Stands but whose mental strength wasn't strong enough also died as a result.

Aboudl can prove that this is not an isolated case.

"Two solutions? One of them is to kill Dio?"

“No, killing Dio is the third method. I’ve mentioned two methods: one is to strengthen Mrs. Holly’s mental strength so that she can support the Stand, and the other is to separate the Stand from her first.”

"A substitute...can be separated?" The old man seemed to have heard something unbelievable.

"Whoosh!" A silver light appeared in Chen Luo's hand, and then instantly sliced ​​through the old man's body as Chen Luo approached him.

Chen Luo raised his hand and directly grabbed the Platinum Star, which was about to punch him. The powerful force rendered the Platinum Star unable to move.

His other hand reached out to the stiff old man and removed the foreign object from his body.

"This is the Hermit's Purple (Purple Hermit)? It actually peeled off!" The old man stared wide-eyed at the object in Chen Luo's hand in disbelief.

"I can feel that I am completely unable to control the Hermit's Purple right now, but the Hermit's Purple is definitely alive. And it's still moving!" The old man looked in surprise at the wriggling purple thorn vines in Chen Luo's hand.

However, when someone else holds the Hermit's Purple, the sprawling branches do look a little... disgusting.

At this moment, Chen Luo released his grip on Platinum Star's hand, allowing Platinum Star to move freely.

Star Platinum's stats are indeed quite strong for a Stand, but so what if it has A-rank power and speed?

Okay, Chen Luo really wanted to...

Because he's handsome!

"Don't move, I'm returning your substitute." After saying that, Chen Luo didn't wait for the old man's response before directly slamming the Hermit's Purple into the old man's chest.

"Cough cough cough. Although it's a bit uncomfortable, the Hermit's Purple has indeed returned." After the old man coughed twice, purple vines began to gradually appear around his right arm.

"So now, are you going to use the first method or the second method?" Chen Luo asked, pointing to Miss Holly, who seemed to be feeling unwell.

"If it's about strengthening Holly's mental power... no, let's choose the second one, peel his substitute off his body." The old man suddenly shook his head halfway through the question.

The old man glanced at his grandson, and seeing that his grandson also nodded in agreement with the choice, he became even more determined in his decision.

Fighting is a man's business, and Holly has no desire to fight. Even if she can use a Stand because of her increased mental strength, it is not necessarily a good thing for Holly.

Furthermore, since Chen Luo was able to take out the old man's substitute and return it, it means that the same applies to Miss Holly.

If Holly wants to awaken her Stand in the future, Chen Luo can help her put it back on; it'll just cost a little more money.

Both grandfather and grandson are intelligent people.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Removing a Substitute]: 1000 Primogems + Substitute Pearl Jam Super (Ultimate Version)

Difficulty: 3 stars

A commission from a group of three... no, four people.

When Chen Luo received the commission, he glanced outside and saw a figure wearing a green school uniform.

Kakyoin Noriaki.

After Chen Luo's talent underwent a deep awakening, the way Chen Luo triggered commissions and the results seemed to have changed. Now, even 4 people can issue group commissions.

Perhaps because the four people who issued the request—Noriaki Kakyoin, Jotaro Kujo, Joestar, and Avdol—were all Stand users, Chen Luo also received an extra Stand user as a reward.

Pearl Jam... Chen Luo vaguely remembered that this Stand was something that could be used for "food therapy" (it could use delicious food, but it didn't necessarily have to be delicious food), and it needed to be eaten to activate its ability.

Because it needs to attach itself to nutrients, it is so small that it is almost invisible. After the substitute enters the body, it will purify the body, repair cells, and cure diseases and pain, making it a veritable human body purifier.

Chen Luo didn't know how to evaluate this stand-in, but for Chen Luo, who ran a bar, this stand-in seemed to be a pretty good reward.

Besides, even if it's a Stand like Star Platinum with the ability to stop time, or a Stand like Crazy Diamond, Gold Experience, Killer Queen, or even Heaven's Gate, Chen Luo can find a replacement for it in himself to some extent.

The diversity of abilities is indeed important to Chen Luo, but if a particular ability cannot be used to quickly acquire primal stones, then its priority will be slightly reduced.

"Well then... I'm going to do it." Chen Luo took out his scalpel again and made a cut towards Mrs. Holly's body, which was too flushed and had an excessively high body temperature.

Even after seeing Chen Luo experiment on the old man and guarantee the surgery would be successful, Jotaro Kujo and even the old man himself looked at their mother/daughter with some trepidation.

A flash of silver light appeared, and Chen Luo ripped something that looked like a fern off Holly.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

Chapter 2086 Old Man (Vehicle Killer): I think we need someone who can repair vehicles.

“Although I’ve removed the substitute from Mrs. Holly and there’s no need to worry about a relapse, I still suggest you kill that Dio guy,” Chen Luo said.
