JOJO, The Escape from Real Diavolo

Chapter 47 The Banquet

Time flies so fast.

"Time flies!"

In the blink of an eye, before he had even wandered around for long, the sun had already turned orange and was almost disappearing below the horizon.

"There's less than half an hour until the 6 PM dinner, but... I really don't want to go!"

No matter how hard Chen Miaowen thought about it, he couldn't figure out what he had done to offend the prince.

To suddenly spot someone in a crowd and then suddenly invite them to a banquet—this is definitely a setup to make things difficult for them.

"What's wrong? Where are you going? Why do you look like you're ready to die?"

The one on the left is Naye, who is currently flipping through comics with a bored expression.

"The prince invited me to a banquet."

"Oh...oh? Ah!?"

He sprang from the bed as if by reflex, grabbing Chen Miaowen's hand as he was about to leave.

"The prince invited you to a banquet? Did I hear that right? And why didn't you tell me?"

"You slept like a log, only just waking up now, and you were even muttering 'I love you, I love you' in your sleep... How am I supposed to tell you this? Should I go to your wonderful world and ask you to tell me in your dreams?"

Chen Miaowen shook off his hand, and he could only awkwardly rub his nose.

"Ahem... How about you take me to see the world?"

"Of course I would like to. You can go in my place, it's just a matter of whether your beloved prince agrees."

"Don't worry, I'm your closest buddy. As long as you say something like, 'My dear brother, your respected friend, would also like to attend the banquet,' the prince will definitely accept! After all, he's not a heartless person!"

Chen Miaowen was speechless, but he couldn't refuse. Having a seemingly simple-minded good brother who came from who-knows-where to accompany him in this situation of becoming a den of wolves might not be a bad thing.

"Alright."

So Chen Miaowen went out, followed by a wagging bug.

As soon as he came out, he ran into another tagalong.

"Friend, the prince has summoned me to greet you."

The sharpshooter was all smiles, as was Nayevi behind him.

"Um... I'm Tobio's friend, could I come along? Because I've always admired the prince..."

The two insects just smiled and stared at each other.

"That's obviously not an option."

Nayevi, who had set his sights on the tagalong, originally thought it would have a good outcome, but unexpectedly, Hol Hols still ruthlessly rejected him.

"If he doesn't go, I won't go either."

Seeing that his "good brother" was about to burst into tears, Chen Miaowen sighed and said this.

"But you must go."

Hol Hol was about to cast another spell.

"Come on, be a little nicer, Hol Hols."

Finally, they even managed to bring out a very important figure.

"Your Highness, you didn't need to come to greet me personally..."

"It's alright, it's only proper for the host to make a personal appearance to welcome guests. Of course, if it's because of another handsome friend that we've fallen out, then there's no need for this... Let's all come together, welcome Tobio... and ?"

"Nayavi, Your Highness."

The tagalong rubbed his eyes.

"And Nayewi, attend my dinner."

He didn't stare at anyone closely; he simply spread his arms, appearing natural and composed.

Chen Miaowen could never figure out his purpose.

He could only nod.

"Let's go then."

......

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

"where?"

"This money!"

Jestan spoke with Satan, his words revealing immense shock.

They originally planned to take the train and high-speed rail, but then he realized he didn't have any money!

Then Satan remembered something and prompted Jestan to come to the church, the Palermo Church.

From that confessional, we found an extremely hidden secret door, not only hidden but also very small, so small that only two dogs could pass through it.

However, for Yedan, getting through here was naturally a piece of cake.

After that, he saw everything inside clearly.

Like a morgue, with a dozen or even a hundred cabinets, it was right in front of him.

"What's inside the cabinet?"

"Shall we open it and take a look?"

That's how the scene of him staring blankly at a huge pile of jewelry came about.

"In the priest's memory, he left behind what is estimated to be tens of billions of lira in this secret door, including what he swindled from the baptists and sold as Jesus tokens for exorbitant prices. But most importantly, he unearthed a considerable amount of treasure in the fifth seat of the tenth row of the fourth column in the church, which is estimated to be worth tens of billions."

"Of course, now, no one has claimed it."

"Hehe, that's really lucky..."

With this money, he was indeed lucky; he could at least buy a helicopter, rent a pilot, and then immediately head to Naples.

"But what use would I have for this money? Why would I go to Naples?"

The morgue fell silent.

......

"Wow, it's magnificent! It feels even more extravagant than the Alhambra. Even our Spanish palace pales in comparison to this luxurious cabin!"

"That's your own idea. If it were really that exaggerated, it would be enough to buy several aircraft carriers."

However, it was indeed an immeasurable expense to build such a magnificent cabin.

Chen Miaowen raised his head and looked calmly at the ceiling made of gold.

"‘How utterly debauched!’ Can I say that?"

"Tobio, you can go sit over there, have some pastries and wine. After all, it's not time for the formal banquet yet."

The prince uttered a few words and walked inside without looking back, as if something more important was waiting for him.

"Are you really that busy? Why did you personally come to greet me?"

Chen Miaowen lowered his eyes and glanced at the overall layout of the cabin.

It's very simple. Half of the space is occupied by a long table with drinks and desserts on it.

In his previous life, he had seen on television the grand banquets and feasts of European nobles, and this was exactly what they looked like.

The other half of the space, which was also a favorite of the nobles and an essential part of the banquets they couldn't escape, was the place for dancing.

There were also some open spaces and a few doors, but I didn't know what they were for.

"Hey, Tobio, why do you think the prince would personally invite you? Uh, are you actually hiding something from me, some kind of mystery?"

You're overthinking it.

He walked over there, picked up a piece of cake, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then, he saw a girl nearby who was drooling but too hesitant to make a move.

There was a large, unusually obvious red mark on the back of the other person's right hand, which was constantly being extended and retracted. He guessed that the other person must have been too engrossed in baking the bread and had burned themselves.

"Eat up! Now that you're here, what are you afraid of? Just eat whatever you like."

Chen Miaowen picked up another piece.

"Ah, sir, we meet again... Haha, it's a little embarrassing to admit, I've never had these pastries before. What are these called? Tiramisu, they're much tastier than my bread, aren't they?"

"You'll know once you try it."
