The next morning, at eight o'clock.
Fang Mo, holding a cup of ginger tea, leisurely walked towards the Joestar residence.
Jonathan Joestar had been waiting at the door for a long time, not just for Fang Mo, but also for the soon-to-arrive Dio Brando.
"Ah, Master."
Seeing Fang Mo, Jonathan took the initiative to greet him, "Good morning, Master. Why did you and Sister Ah Xue leave early last night?"
"Adult matters are not for children to ask about. Asking too much won't help you grow."
Fang Mo sipped the steaming ginger tea and said calmly, "You're still young and not of age to understand these things yet. You and Erina will understand when you're older."
"What?"
Jonathan was stunned. Who is this Erina that the Master mentioned?
"Has Dio arrived?"
Fang Mo didn't bother to explain; after all, some things weren't appropriate to discuss on this platform. So he changed the subject: "Didn't your father say he would come this morning?"
"He should be coming soon."
Jonathan was indeed naive, easily having his attention diverted, "By the way, Master, I completed the tasks you assigned me last night quite easily. How's my talent for magic?"
"Hmm... Well..."
Fang Mo pondered upon hearing this.
To be honest, he hadn't watched Jonathan run last night. When Jonathan was sprinting on the field, he was sprinting too. However, he still had to put on a facade of being wise and worldly: "You barely pass in terms of physical fitness."
"Ah? Just barely passing?"
Upon hearing this, Jonathan felt a bit down, "I thought my performance would be good..."
"Do you think magic is easy to learn?"
Fang Mo glanced at Jonathan: "So-called magic is manipulating the laws of nature through demonic power. If you learn this, you're standing against science. How could you handle it without a strong physique? Someone could easily tie you to a stake and burn you, would you still be a magician? You'd be ashes..."
Jonathan couldn't help but say, "Even with a strong physique, one couldn't withstand that, right?"
Fang Mo was about to retort when suddenly, the sound of a carriage came from not far away.
Both of them looked and saw a coachman driving a carriage straight toward the Joestar mansion. As the coachman pulled the reins, the carriage quickly stopped in front of them.
Without saying a word, Fang Mo pulled out a bottle of invisibility potion and gulped it down.
"Master, it seems like Dio is coming," Jonathan said, not noticing Fang Mo's actions. He turned his head and was stunned. "Huh? Where's my master?"
At that moment, the carriage door was kicked open.
Jonathan instinctively looked up to see a suitcase fly out of the carriage and land on the ground with a thud.
Soon after, a handsome young man in a deep blue suit jumped out. He landed gracefully, squatting slightly to absorb the impact, and then stood up, scanning the surroundings with a sharp gaze.
Jonathan Joestar looked curiously at the young man in front of him.
He was about the same age, with a similar height, but unlike Jonathan's blue hair, this young man had dazzling golden hair and wine-red eyes. His features were striking, his skin fair, and though he had an air that was difficult to approach, he was exceptionally handsome.
As Jonathan observed him, it seemed the young man was also observing him in return.
However, his expression didn't appear friendly. Although the corner of his mouth was slightly upturned, for some reason, Jonathan felt it was more mockery than a friendly smile.
After some thought, Jonathan decided to greet him like a gentleman.
"You are Dio Brando, aren't you?"
Jonathan asked amiably.
"Correct," Dio said, putting his hands in his pockets and fixing Jonathan with an aggressive gaze. "And you are Jonathan Joestar, right?"
"Everyone calls me JoJo. Nice to meet you."
Jonathan smiled and said.
"Woof!"
Just then, a dog's bark came from not far away. Both of them were drawn by the sound and turned their heads, only to find that the hunting dog Danny was happily wagging his tail and running toward them.
"Haha, Danny," Jonathan said, delighted. He squatted down to play with his beloved dog and took the opportunity to introduce him to Dio: "Let me introduce you. This is my pet dog, Danny. Don't worry, he never bites."
"Tsk..." However, when Dio looked at the approaching Danny, his face revealed an expression of disdain and disgust.
The next second, before Jonathan could react, Dio suddenly took action. Just as Danny was about to pounce, Dio forcefully kicked toward its head with his boot.
You should know that Dio was wearing high-top leather boots, and Danny immediately let out a howl.
"Woof...ow!?"
"What are you doing!?" Jonathan was, of course, stunned and immediately clenched his fists in anger. "You bastard... I won't forgive you!"
Before Jonathan could take any action, Danny, who had been kicked away, suddenly got up from the ground.
Dio's powerful kick seemed not to have hurt it at all. Danny shook its head and then glanced at Dio not far away, as if recalling something.
The next second, the whole demeanor of the dog changed.
"Woo...roar..."
Danny's forelimbs slightly crouched on the ground, revealing a fierce expression. Its loose skin suddenly swelled, and you could vaguely see its steel-like tight muscles and exposed veins underneath.
"Hmm?" Dio had initially only focused his attention on Jonathan, but the dog's change made him alert. "What's with this dog..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Danny charged like an arrow released from a bow.
Upon seeing this, Dio hastily tried to kick again, but Danny, acting like a mad bull, was not afraid at all. It took the kick and rushed directly under Dio, pushing off with its hind legs. It aimed straight for Dio's crotch, its mouth full of saliva opening to reveal two rows of sharp, shiny fangs.
Then there was just a grunt.
Dio's face changed several times in an instant.
First there was shock, disbelief, and then as the pain spread, he let out a scream.
"How dare you bite me, Dio! You're as disgusting as a dog who's been soaking in a mud pit for two days!" Dio Brando's young Dio had been severely bitten and couldn't help but howl. The intense pain even made him unable to stand, and he collapsed onto the ground.
However, it should be noted that Danny was still biting him.
So when Dio fell to the ground like this, it tore his own wound even more.
"Ah! Stop! Stop it right now!"
Then Dio screamed again, constantly attacking Danny with his fists, even trying to poke the dog's eyes out with his fingernails.
But seeing this, Danny's inner ferocity was also aroused.
It used a dog's natural skill.
Like a puppy who likes to shake slippers, Danny's dog head suddenly swung violently from side to side, tearing at Dio's flesh and nerves with brutal force, instantly turning his attack into cries. Tears and snot flowed down painfully: "Help...help! Someone come and save me! I'm going to be killed by a dog!"
"..."
Seeing this, Jonathan who was next to them was stunned.
When did his own dog become so fierce?
Is this even a dog? This is more like a cougar!
However, just as Jonathan was stunned, Danny forcefully tore a piece of flesh with his front paws and neck, followed by a ripping sound, tearing off a big piece of bloody flesh.
"What!?"
Seeing this, Jonathan was also frightened, "This is really like a cougar," he hurriedly shouted: "Danny! You...you stop it!"
"Huh?"
Hearing his owner's words, Danny also turned his head to look at him.
Danny looked at Dio, who was in tears and about to faint after being bitten. He thought for a moment, then spat out what was in his mouth and cheerfully returned to Jonathan's feet, sitting down obediently.
"Dio... are you alright?"
Jonathan, who saw this, was also a bit panicked, especially considering the amount of blood Dio was losing. "Hold on, I'll get a doctor for you right away."
"You... you guys... are all... bastards..."
Even in such pain, Dio clenched his teeth, crying and staring at Jonathan with a face full of hatred. "I... won't let you off..."
"Growl!"
Before Dio could finish speaking, Danny started to snarl again.
"!!!"
Dio was scared and kept trying to back away. His once neat suit was now covered in mud and blood, making him look completely disheveled.
At that moment, the mansion's door was suddenly pulled open.
"What happened!?"
George Joestar and the butler rushed up, quickly noticing Dio's miserable state. George's face immediately turned extremely unpleasant, "What on Earth is going on, JoJo?"
"Father, Dio suddenly kicked Dan--"
"Mr. Joestar!"
Before Jonathan could fully explain, Dio cried out as if he'd seen his savior, "The dog! JoJo's dog suddenly jumped on me and bit me! Save me, Mr. Joestar!!!"
