Chapter 262: Steve

Chapter 262: Steve

"Erina?"

Jonathan seemed startled to see her: "And... Danny too!?"

"Jojo, are you alright?"

Erina didn't pay much attention to Jonathan's expression. She was really anxious, hurriedly running over while holding up her dress, and asked with concern, "I heard the Joestar Manor caught fire and I came right over. How are you? Are you hurt?"

"I'm sorry to worry you, but I'm not injured."

Jonathan shook his head and said, "Maybe it's the magic of the Sun Stone. Such high temperatures won't harm me. But what about you, Erina... what's with this outfit?"

"I..."

Erina hesitated, looking at the great sword in her hand, then said, "I want to protect you, Jojo."

"Woof!"

Danny, who was nearby, also barked excitedly, wagging his tail at Jonathan.

"Protect... me?"

Hearing Erina's words, Jonathan couldn't help but show a somewhat strange expression. As a gentleman of the Joestar family, how could he let the woman he loves protect him?

But before he could voice his refusal, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

"Jojo, I'd advise you not to refuse her." Fang Mo smiled at Jonathan, "You might think she's just a weak woman, but in reality, she has awakened the blood of the Red Dragon. She's a noble queen with the fate of all Great Britain in her. One punch from her... and you could very well die."

"Huh?"

Jonathan was completely stunned after hearing this.

"Mr. Steve?" Hearing Fang Mo's voice, Erina finally came to her senses, looking at him in surprise: "You're back? When did this happen?"

"I just arrived."

Fang Mo smiled, "Sorry, I had to leave in a hurry last time and didn't get a chance to say goodbye and now you've all grown up so much."

"Mr. Steve still looks the same, as young as ever."

Erina politely said, then turned her attention back to Jonathan, "Jojo, what happened to Uncle George?"

"Father was stabbed by Dio."

Jonathan, hearing this, immediately clenched his fists in anger, "I will never forgive him!"

"It was that bastard Dio, wasn't it?"

Hearing Jonathan's words, Erina nodded and then suggested, "Maybe Uncle George should go to my family's hospital. It's probably not safe to stay here anymore. Is Uncle George badly hurt?"

"Mr. Steve?"

Hearing Erina's question, Jonathan also subconsciously looked up at Fang Mo.

"According to his original fate, he was supposed to die here," Fang Mo said, suddenly pulling out a lighter and snapping it open with his mouth, causing a burst of flame. While everyone looked confused, Fang Mo continued leisurely: "But I played a trick on him."

Everyone was somewhat baffled by this scene.

To be honest, gas lighters were rare in those days, so they didn't know what Fang Mo was up to. Could it be some kind of magical ritual?

"So..."

Finally, Jonathan broke the awkward silence: "Mr. Steve, is my father alright now?"

"Just need some rest for a while."

Fang Mo stroked his chin, thoughtfully saying, "Well... but for safety, I suggest you give him a grand funeral."

"Huh?"

The two were baffled again and couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"Come here, Nai'ozu, I have a question for you."

Fang Mo waved to the Lich and pointed to the two Georges on the ground, saying, "I have two Georges here, help me see which one is real and which is fake."

The Lich didn't speak but slowly approached to observe.

Almost instantly, the Lich extended its dry skeletal finger, pointing to the George whom Fang Mo had treated from scratch. Its jawbone clicked as it moved.

A dry and deep voice came from its mouth.

"His soul... is here."

The Lich said, "The other one is just... an empty... vessel."

"Oh, I see."

Hearing this, Fang Mo also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that although the regeneration potion could regenerate the body to some extent, it couldn't replicate the soul. But then, how would this be explained with the people from the world of Bleach, who are supposed to be souls?

So, the regeneration potion couldn't affect a person's subjective consciousness?

"Forget it, never mind."

Shaking his head, Fang Mo didn't bother to think too much about it.

He wasn't a scientist like Orochimaru, obsessing over understanding everything clearly. Fang Mo's people always valued practicality. If it works, it's good enough; why bother with so many principles?

He retracted the Lich back into his bone dagger and gently lifted the two Georges on the ground with a gravitational field, walking outside.

Meanwhile, near the gate of the Joestar mansion.

Erina was explaining to Jonathan about how, years ago, Dio tried to force a kiss on her, but instead, she ended up killing him with a slap.

Jonathan, having heard this, finally realized.

No wonder Dio looked so wronged back then; he hadn't bullied Erina at all but instead got beaten up by her. That explained why he shouted, "Do you think I, Dio, am bullying Erina?"

Since Erina had spoken, she didn't plan to hide anything from Jonathan.

So, she straightforwardly told him about Fang Mo giving her the golden apple and the Sword of Joy, along with the prophecy magic. She revealed that the Joestar family had a history of short lifespans, which made her determined to protect JoJo.

And then there was the battle pet, Danny.

This dog had been sent to another city by George, but since it had eaten the golden apple, it was like the Stand dog Iggy from Part 3; ordinary people couldn't control it. So, it ran away that very night.

Erina said she met it in the forest a few years ago, initially thinking it was just a stray. But the more she looked, the more it resembled the Danny Jonathan had mentioned. So, she tentatively called out "Danny," and the dog, being psychic, immediately responded and got excited.

But when Erina tried to take it to meet Jonathan, it refused to go, biting a table leg and not letting go, probably fearing being captured by George again.

Jonathan quickly accepted this setup.

After all, he had encountered a wizard in his youth, who always claimed that magic was omnipotent. Under such influence, he found it easy to accept this sort of setup.

However, Jonathan was indeed curious about how strong Erina was.

After all, he himself had natural strength, plus the solar magic from the Sun Stone. He didn't think Erina was much stronger than him.

But when Jonathan tried arm-wrestling with Erina, he found that he couldn't match her strength even with both hands, leaving him dumbfounded. Was his girlfriend really that strong?

Just as Jonathan was in shock,

Fang Mo came out, and Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to alleviate the awkwardness with Erina. But when he saw the two Georges following Fang Mo, he was struck as if by lightning.

"That, uh, your father just accidentally fell into the water."

Fang Mo wiped his face and said, "The River God Tamm is an old friend of mine. He just gave me two Georges... So, which one did you lose, this golden daddy or this silver /Bleam
