Chapter 91. Rhodes Island Mafia is officially established!"Bang! Hahahahahahahaha!"Soon after, W's sunny and cheerful laughter sounded from the window again.Boom!Another explosion sounded, and a second big hole was blown out of the wall of the court."Go in and protect the Doctor!"As a low and hoarse voice sounded, a group of shield guards holding large shields entered the court first."Doctor! We are here!""With us here, no one dares to touch you!"Then Mudrock, Talulah, FrostNova, Skullshatterer, Red Blade, Patriot, W, and others also rushed into the court."Anyone who needs treatment can come to me."Not only the Rhodes Island operators in charge of the battle, but also the medical operator Gavial followed from behind with a staff (hammer).Outside the wall, there were constant sounds of ACE and Scout clashing with the local gangster family.Thanks to my daily good deeds, I can get so many people's support at this time...Jiawei smiled and looked at all the Rhodes Island operators who broke into the court for him.In fact, in Jiawei's opinion, the number of people who came was much more than he imagined.He originally thought that only ACE's team came later, but he didn't expect that after Amiya conveyed the news of his arrest to the Rhodes Island ship, because of the misunderstanding that "the Doctor was in danger in Siracusa," so many operators came here to help him.After all, he is now in Volsinii in Siracusa, which is still a certain distance away from the Rhodes Island ship.He really didn't expect how so many Rhodes Island operators could get here in such a short time.However, with the forced entry of these Rhodes Island operators, the court was suppressed by Rhodes Island."Doctor, I didn't expect that things would develop like this... I don't know how Kal'tsit will react when she knows about this."Amiya followed the team to the Doctor with a little embarrassment at this time.Although Jiawei decided to accept the interrogation, it does not mean that he will stay in prison honestly forever.During his imprisonment, he used his Stand ability to easily leave the prison and return to the Rhodes Island office, and explained today's plan to Amiya and Scout.On the day of the interrogation, in addition to planning to capture the operator "Pardoner" to Rhodes Island, he also planned to take this opportunity to announce an important thing to the representatives of the major mafias and the civilians of Siracusa in the audience..."You... What does Rhodes Island want to do?""Do you want to rebel?""Siracusa is definitely not a place where you pharmaceutical companies can run wild!"The representatives of the family gang members and the bailiffs in the audience loudly questioned the Doctor."Since you asked sincerely, then as the Doctor of Rhodes Island, I will tell you mercifully!"Jiawei held Lavinia in one hand, and then sat on the judge's table unscrupulously."The original intention of Rhodes Island has always been to treat the suffering infected people on Terra, but Rhodes Island was attacked by the local mafia as soon as it arrived here... You mafia, for your own interests, prevent the vast number of infected people in Siracusa from receiving the most advanced medical assistance from Rhodes Island? This is really a sad thing! Siracusa should not be like this!"Jiawei crossed his legs and announced loudly to all the family representatives sitting in the audience opposite with a smirk."So I made a heavy decision, in order to be able to treat the infected who are struggling to survive in Siracusa! I declare that the 'Rhodes Island Mafia' is officially established today, and I will kill all the gangster families here! I'll create a country where the Rhodes Island offices can be safely set up here--!""...""..."As soon as Jiawei said this, all the Siracusa people in the court couldn't help but open their mouths and look at the Doctor in great surprise.Judge Lavinia, who was tightly tied up by the Chains of Heaven, couldn't help but complain loudly."Doctor! If you just want to set up a medical office in Siracusa, then what Rhodes Island did is too much! You are breaking the law, you know!""It doesn't matter. Miss Sicily has agreed to let Rhodes Island set up an office in Siracusa. She also tacitly allows Rhodes Island to use some violence in Siracusa.""Your violence can no longer be described as 'appropriate'--!""Pardoner, Siracusa shouldn't be like this...""It shouldn't be like what you said! And don't call me 'Pardoner' without authorization!""It doesn't matter, you will..."At this time, in addition to Pardoner, the representatives of the major families and gangs in the audience who originally planned to watch Rhodes Island's fun could no longer sit still."Rhodes Island! You are too arrogant--!""You actually want to kill all the mafia? You don't take us seriously at all!""A mere civilian armed force is nothing--!"In the eyes of these people, Rhodes Island actually wanted to compete with all their mafia families in Siracusa. Such arrogant behavior undoubtedly touched the sore spot of all the mafia familiesAll the family mafia representatives sitting in the seats took out their weapons and rushed towards Jiawei and the surrounding Rhodes Island operators."Star Platinum!"Jiawei jumped off the table and summoned his Stand, Star Platinum."Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora--!"Under the control of willpower, Star Platinum waved his fists and launched a storm-like attack on all the mafia members who rushed in front of him!"Wow!""Ah... What kind of Originium Art is this!""How did the Doctor knock our people away without getting close?"Some gang members who were planning to attack with crossbows in the audience looked at their companions who were knocked away, and for a moment they didn't know what happened.At this time, three gang members were hit by Star Platinum several times in a short period of time, and they broke through the roof of the court and flew out.Soon, the roof of the court finally couldn't hold up because of the four big holes...Another series of deafening roars sounded...The broken roof collapsed from above, smashing the gangsters in the audience below.The gang members who climbed out of the rubble looked at the roof. As the roof was destroyed, the bright sunlight reflected down, completely illuminating the originally very dim court.Jiawei smiled and crossed his hands on his chest, and spoke loudly to the gang representatives who were knocked to the ground by him."No destruction, no construction! Gangsters of Siracusa, your good days are coming to an end! For the infected here, operators! Follow me!"At the same time, when Rhodes Island was about to leave the court, a group of temporary gangs composed of various big families surrounded him, and they planned to directly wipe out Rhodes Island, the thorn."Stop these Rhodes! Never let them pass this street!""Use cars to stop them! Kill all the Rhodes around the court!"Some gangster families planned to use cars to block the road, and then use crossbows to continuously attack Rhodes Island's team.Patriot walked in front of the team with a large special shield with the emblem of Rhodes Island, resisting the attack of the gang's explosive crossbow."Rhodes Island, is unstoppable, the spear of destruction!"Patriot roared. He raised the huge javelin in his hand that gradually emitted a red light, and threw it towards the car obstacle in front.Boom!A violent roar sounded.The cars and nearby gang members along the way of the spear were all blown away like tofu."Shield guards, line up! Attack!""Ah ... "This! This is a Rhodes Island operator!""Are you kidding me? Rhodes Island is just a civilian armed force! How can there be such a scary guy here?!""What kind of force are we fighting against?""Why is that Rhodes Island operator with a medical armband rushing to the front in the fight?!"The fighting power displayed by these Rhodes Island operators made the local gang members dumbfounded...The mafia coalition they formed temporarily originally wanted to rely on their own numerical advantage to directly wipe out the arrogant Rhodes Island around the court.But after feeling the fighting power of Rhodes Island, they found that the strength of Rhodes Island was completely beyond their imagination.What made these gangs feel extremely puzzled was that the doctor in the middle of the team seemed to have used some kind of protective Art on the nearby Rhodes Island operators, so that they could not cause further effective damage to the people of Rhodes Island.It didn't take long for the momentum of this temporary coalition of gangs to be defeated by the Rhodes Island operators.After Rhodes Island's brilliant appearance, even the bailiffs in the court dared not to openly stop the people of Rhodes Island...The bailiffs of Siracusa were much weaker than the Guards of Lungmen. They dared not to provoke even the local gangs, let alone Rhodes Island, which was against the gang coalition.After killing the gang coalition that blocked the road, Rhodes Island, led by Jiawei, began to sweep all the gang families in the city.For a time, the whole Volsinii was in chaos.The first target was some small and medium-sized local gang families.Although some of the stubborn mafia family patriarchs resisted stubbornly at first, they all gave in when Jiawei was about to demolish their mansions.Afterwards, Jiawei began to trouble these families one by one according to the information of the local gang families sorted out by Scout, and obtained the passive skill "Conqueror's Mark" through himself.Let all the family gangs defeated by Jiawei completely surrender and never dare to continue to defy Rhodes Island.Soon, after seeing the strength of Rhodes Island, some small gang families chose to give up resistance and surrendered to Jiawei one after another.In less than a few days, almost all the small and medium-sized mafia gangs in Volsinii were defeated.Now, apart from the Rhodes Island family, there are only the three strongest mafias remaining, the Rossati family, the Saluzzo family, and the Bellone family.Because these three mafias are the strongest, Jiawei decided to deal with them in the end....... One day, in the afternoon.In the room of the Rhodes Island office.Jiawei was sitting on a chair stroking a cat that accidentally sneaked into the house and jumped onto his lap.At this time, a male worker in dirty work clothes was holding a dusty hat in his hands and telling Jiawei."Dear Sir, I am a native of Siracusa. My name is Brown Carl. I thought that as long as I worked hard, I could live comfortably in Siracusa, but I was wrong...""My lover and I have a daughter. She is very kind and opened a small bakery in the old town. She baked delicious and cheap bread by herself. She would also warmly welcome any Oripathy patients... But one day, three gangsters from Saluzzo suddenly broke into the store and wanted to take advantage of her! The daughter resisted and defended her purity to the death, but the three gangsters not only beat her up, but also burned her bakery. I reported the matter to the court, but these three bastards relied on the power of the Saluzzo family to bribe the judge and acquitted them on the spot... I was standing in the court like a fool, and those three bastards were still smiling at me, woo woo woo..."When Brown said this, he burst into tears for a while because of his excitement.Jiawei, who was sitting on the chair, touched his cheek with his hand, and then waved his finger in the direction of Brown.Amiya understood and poured a glass of water for the poor man in front of him."Thank you, distinguished sir, ma'am..."The worker Brown drank After a sip of water, he gradually calmed down, and then he handed an envelope of Lungmen coins to the table in front of Jiawei."I have no other choice now. In order to prevent these people from continuing to retaliate against my daughter, I also hope that these bastards can get the lesson they deserve... Please accept this money, sir. I hope that the Rhodes Island family can give me justice...""Mr. Brown, this matter... I can't help you..."Jiawei pushed the envelope full of Lungmen coins across the table toward Brown, stroked the cat's butt on his lap, and sighed softly."This! Ah, I know this money isn’t much… But, honorable sir! As long as you can get justice for my daughter, I’d rather sell everything I have...""No, Brown. You don’t regard me as a friend at all. I don’t want Lungmen coins. Our Rhodes Island family only hopes to gain your friendship.""Friendship… Friendship!?""Yes. Why are you so distant from me? So afraid of me?" Jiawei looked at Brown with some regret."You even refused to call me Doctor...""Ah… Friendship… Ah! I understand. I'm really sorry… Doctor."Brown finally understood. He took back the Lungmen coins and nodded, clearly embarrassed."Very good."Jiawei stood from his seat and patted Brown’s shoulder with a smile."I can teach those gangs a lesson, but I also hope you can help me. Promote Rhodes Island to your co-workers. We are a medical company dedicated to treating Oripathy. We're here for all infected people in Siracusa, and we hope to gain more support from the local community.""This! Of course! Of course! Thank you very much, Doctor! I’ll do it right away!""One more thing."Jiawei called out to Brown."Take me to say hello to your daughter. Tell her the Doctor is very concerned about her injury. Once she recovers, I also hope to try her bread.""Yes! Of course!"Brown nodded gratefully."Very good. Go home and wait for good news."After sending the Siracusa worker away, Jiawei called Amiya to his side."Amiya, send someone to find those three gangsters who bullied the girl. Then ask W and Mudrock to teach them a lesson. Also, have Jiawei visit the girl’s home and treat her injuries."Doctor, you seem to be playing a very strange role-playing game right now...Amiya couldn’t help but complain inwardly upon hearing the Doctor’s orders. Still, she resisted the urge to grumble and silently accepted the mission before leaving the room.When Rhodes Island began dealing with small and medium-sized gang mafias, the "Rhodes Island Famiglia" started to receive support from Siracusa civilians.After all, other gangs didn’t care about the lives of ordinary people—but the Rhodes Island Family was different...Rhodes Island was, at its core, a conscientious organization fighting to save the infected across the continent of Terra. With the cooperation of local "peers," its popularity in Siracusa rose significantly.Gaining support from the local population also made Rhodes Island’s operations smoother.Thus, whenever possible, the Rhodes Island Family would extend a helping hand to desperate civilians and infected people alike.Lavinia, standing off to the side, silently observed the entire exchange.After being forcibly brought to the Rhodes Island office by Jiawei, she found she couldn’t escape the Doctor’s grasp no matter what she did. Thanks to Texas’s persuasion—and her own curiosity about the Doctor—she decided to stay for now."Doctor… If I were the one handling that case, it definitely wouldn’t have ended like that..."Lavinia thought for a while, then finally spoke, somewhat helplessly.What had happened to the worker’s daughter was indeed a result of Siracusa under the rule of mafia families...Even the law itself was under the mafia’s control. How could the ordinary people stand up to the powerful Saluzzo family?What surprised her was that Rhodes Island’s arrival had actually disrupted this dynamic—for the benefit of the people.And if Rhodes Island truly defeated the remaining three major mafia families… maybe it really could change Siracusa!?"Doctor, I’ve been to that bakery… The bread Lisa makes herself is really good, and the people there are very kind. I thank Rhodes Island for bringing her justice… but..."At this point, Lavinia suddenly changed the subject."Even so, I still believe it’s wrong to fight violence with violence. That’s illegal!""Hahahahahahaha!"Jiawei, petting the cat on the table, burst out laughing."That’s exactly why the Rhodes Island Family needs talents like you. Why do you think I went to the courthouse to arrest you, Penance?""I told you, don’t call me ‘Penance’ without permission! Call me Lavinia!""Okay, Penance, no problem, Penance!""Hey, hey, hey! My name is Lavinia—!""Lavinia’s too hard to remember. What if I forget it halfway? ‘Penance’ is easier.""Don’t make my name sound so trivial! Ugh, forget it… Do whatever you want...""Hehe, it’s decided then."Jiawei smiled and waved to her."Penance, I have something good to tell you. After we defeat all the mafia famiglia, the Rhodes Island Family will be disbanded. Then, you—a young and promising judge—will be responsible for rebuilding Siracusa under the rule of law, free from mafia remnants. I know that’s your dream too, so I believe in you..."Jiawei crossed his arms and looked at Lavinia seriously."Siracusa shouldn’t be like this. Let’s change it together.""Doctor, you… Is this your plan!?"Lavinia looked at Jiawei in surprise.His words had struck her right in the heart.As he said—she had always wanted to change Siracusa. But because of her lack of power, she had never been able to.After observing Rhodes Island these past few days, she saw that, unlike the other families who only chased after profit, Rhodes Island genuinely stood with the people of Siracusa.Even Texas had chosen to place her trust in Rhodes Island.Maybe this Doctor… really is worthy of her trust.Maybe he really can help her slowly transform Siracusa into a society ruled by law!"I understand, Doctor..."Lavinia let out a long sigh, then looked seriously at Jiawei."If things are really as you say… then I’m willing to work for Rhodes Island.""Very good! Welcome to Rhodes Island!"Just then, Scout burst into the room."Doctor! Success! According to your instructions, I told Giovanna, head of the Rossati family, that 'Texas is seriously injured and in danger, and she wants to see you before she dies.' I didn’t expect her to actually believe it—she came to the Rhodes Island office alone!""Hehehehe! Good job, Scout! Let’s go! Let’s catch her and make her an operator for Rhodes Island!"Jiawei said happily and walked out with Scout.Only Lavinia remained in the room, watching the Doctor’s back as he left. She stood there for a long while, unsure how to respond."...Did the Doctor recruit all Rhodes Island operators like this? This is basically human trafficking! That’s illegal!"---Chapter 92. Lapland, I'm going to kick your father's ass in public!In a dark alley with sparse rain near the Rhode Island office.Giovanna saw Texas, who had been waiting here for a long time."Cellinia!? You're not injured!?"Giovanna looked at the photo of Texas lying in a pool of blood in her hand, and then looked at Texas standing in front of her unharmed, with a puzzled look on her face."Giovanna... I didn't expect you to actually come..."Texas looked at Giovanna in front of her with some disbelief at this time; after all, she is now the leader of the Rossati family.At the same time, Texas also sighed in her heart.She didn't expect the doctor to even calculate this...Giovanna used to be childhood sweethearts with Texas and was Texas' best friend in Siracusa.At this time, Giovanna is the current leader of the Rossati family. If the Rhodes Island family wants to defeat all family gangs, they naturally cannot bypass the Rossati family.In order to prevent the two former friends from confronting each other, Jiawei therefore formulated a plan to "use the dying Texas to lure Giovanna, the leader of the Rossati family."The photo of "Texas lying in a pool of blood" in Giovanna's hand was actually taken by Jiawei after he poured ketchup on Texas..."Doctor! This plan can't succeed! I haven't contacted her for several years... She might have forgotten me a long time ago...""Giovanna is now the leader of the Rossati family. How could she be fooled..."In fact, when Jiawei proposed the plan, it was questioned by Texas...However, after confirming the system options, Jiawei still insisted on using this plan.Although Texas herself did not have any hope for the plan proposed by Jiawei, she was surprised that Giovanna really came here alone because she was worried about her."Giovanna, I didn't expect you to come here..."Texas still asked in a low voice with some disbelief."What are you talking about? Even if you were not injured, I would still find a way to see you... After all, we are good friends!""Giovanna... Thank you, you still remember me as a friend after so many years..."After learning about Giovanna's thoughts, Texas couldn't help but feel very emotional."Cellinia, what happened? Why did you leave the Bellone family and choose to join the Rhodes Island family?"Giovanna's tone gradually became a little jealous at this time."Join the Rossati family. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I can help you."Faced with Giovanna's invitation, Texas shook her head with some regret."Sorry, Giovanna, I will not join the Rossati family. I have decided to change Siracusa with Rhodes.""What! Are you serious? Do you know how crazy you are? You and Rhodes are enemies of the entire Siracusa family! And the Saluzzo family has already taken action..."Giovanna couldn't help but sigh and then slowly turned around."Forget it, you will understand sooner or later... Since you are not injured, I will go back. When Rhodes is destroyed, if you have nowhere to go, you can always come to me for help...""Sorry, Giovanna, I'm afraid you can't leave today.""Huh? What did you say?"Although Giovanna's fighting power is not as good as Texas', if the opponent is only Texas, she still has a way to escape.And when Giovanna came here, she also confirmed that Texas was the only one around...Chains of Heaven!Just when Giovanna was confused, a chain suddenly fell from the sky without warning."What——!?"Facing such a sneak attack, Giovanna originally planned to use her long sword to knock the chain away.But the Chains of Heaven was like alive. After being knocked away, it flew back again and finally tied Giovanna tightly."Giovanna, since you are here, how can I let you go!~" Jiawei came from behind Giovanna without warning."You... you are the doctor! Why are you here!?"As a friend of Texas, Giovanna was indeed very anxious after learning that she was seriously injured.However, on the way here, she was also quite alert, but she never expected that the doctor of Rhodes Island would sneak behind her without anyone noticing..."Sorry, Giovanna, I also want to reduce unnecessary conflicts with the Rossati family, so I have to do this. I see that you have a good relationship with Texas, and you are also a talent, so why not join the Rhodes Island family together!"As long as Giovanna, the leader of the Rossati family, is forced to join Rhodes Island, he can find a way to disintegrate the Rossati family from within, and at least he can contain half of the Rossati family's combat power. It is definitely a very cost-effective deal."Me? Join the Rhodes Island family?"Giovanna looked at the doctor in disbelief."I... If I refuse, what will you do to me?"Hearing that Giovanna was still a little unwilling to give in, Jiawei smiled kindly."We have many ways to make you surrender...""Giovanna, join Rhodes Island. You have no choice now that you have been caught by the doctor."Texas on the side also persuaded in a helpless whisper."No... don't wow!"Facing the double attack of Jiawei and Texas, Giovanna's wailing sounded in the dark alley.... On the way back to the Rhodes Island office with Jiawei, Texas, Scout, and others, Giovanna.Giovanna kept persuading Texas."Texas, do you know how crazy you and Rhodes Island are doing? Don't underestimate the Saluzzo family and the Bellone family! The powerful enemies you are about to face are definitely beyond your imagination!""Thank you for your advice, Giovanna, but don't worry, no matter what the opponent is, I can handle it." Jiawei replied with a smile."Doctor, you..."Giovanna saw that the doctor was not afraid at all after hearing what she said, and he looked eager to try. She couldn't help but become more curious about the doctor in front of her..."This is really crazy... Who are you...""Giovanna, do you want to make a bet with me? If I can defeat the Saluzzo family and the Bellone family, how about you join Rhodes Island honestly?""This... this..."Giovanna couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing the doctor's bet.After all, if the Rhodes Island family can really defeat the Saluzzo family and the Bellone family, then the Rossati family she leads will naturally not be the opponent of the Rhodes Island family..."Yes... yes... But! This is simply impossible!"Giovanna looked at Jiawei with an extremely questioning expression."Doctor, you know... Alberto Saluzzo, the leader of the Saluzzo family, is the strongest mafia leader I’ve ever seen. I once saw an enemy cut into several pieces in front of him in an instant. From my perspective, Alberto himself didn’t even move at the time... How is Rhodes Island going to fight Alberto!?""Hahahaha! Did I really just hear someone praising my father!? That’s a fresh feeling!"Crack!Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck the nearby roof.Everyone looked up and saw a white-haired girl in a black and white dress, holding two strangely shaped longswords and overlooking the area.The girl wore a strange smile, and her entire body radiated an ominous murderous aura."Texas!? I didn’t expect to see you here! That really saves me a lot of trouble—!"After spotting Texas below, the girl’s expression suddenly grew more excited.She leaped from the tall building, pouncing on Texas like a predator that had locked onto its prey."Lappland! Doctor! Leave this one to me!"After seeing Lappland, Texas immediately drew her sword and began to engage her.Since leaving Siracusa and coming to Lungmen, Lappland had haunted her like an omnipresent evil spirit.She never expected Lappland to follow her all the way back to Siracusa at this moment."Texas! Ever since you joined that strange Rhodes Island family, why didn’t you come see me first!? I’ve been waiting at the family mansion for so long—!""Hmph! I don’t want to waste my time on you!""Hahahaha! Your skills haven’t dulled! But can you handle this move!?""I can—!"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!The continuous sounds of clashing iron echoed through the street.Their swords collided fiercely, sparks flying everywhere, dazzling the bystanders.As the two fought—Jiawei noticed that a group of men in white suits had appeared around them at some point.Lappland was the biological daughter of the Saluzzo family’s leader, so these new arrivals were obviously Saluzzo family thugs."Doctor——!"Amiya arrived with other operators to support Jiawei."Doctor, according to our latest intel, the Saluzzo family used dark alleys and underground routes only locals know about to bypass our outer defenses and attack the Rhodes Island office directly!"At that moment, Amiya also saw Lappland locked in fierce battle with Texas."This person... she’s strong! According to intel, that’s Lappland, the Saluzzo leader’s daughter. These thugs were probably brought by her. Doctor, let’s help Texas defeat her—"Just then, a system prompt sounded in Jiawei’s mind."Please choose from the following options.""Sane Option: Assist Texas in defeating Lappland.Reward: Rationality +30.Special Reward: 30% chance to obtain the Guard Operator ‘Lappland’.""Insane: Intervene in the fight and then defeat and humiliate her father in front of Lappland.Reward: Skill ‘Anti-Injury Shield’.Strength +20.Special Reward: 100% chance to obtain the Guard Operator ‘Lappland’.""Note: Skill ‘Anti-Injury Shield’ — Upon activation, reflects 15% of incoming damage. Can be used alongside the Jade Shield.""Note 2: Do NOT let Suzuran see Lappland!"Hmm? A 100% chance to recruit Lappland... if we humiliate her father?How can we pass that up?"Wait, Amiya."Jiawei reached out to stop Amiya, who was about to assist Texas."Rather than defeating Lappland here, wouldn’t it be better if someone like her defected to Rhodes Island?""Huh? Doctor, you want Lappland to defect?"Amiya looked confusedly at Lappland, who was locked in combat with Texas..."Hahahaha! That’s it! Texas, you almost had me—!"At this point, Lappland looked completely unhinged, clearly not someone who could be reasoned with easily..."Doctor... how do you plan to make someone like that defect to Rhodes Island...?""I have my ways. Just watch me."Jiawei stepped forward, then summoned the Chains of Heaven, cutting between Texas and Lappland."Huh?"Seeing the Doctor intervene, Texas quickly stepped back."Doctor, what are you trying to do?""Don’t worry, Texas. I’ll make Lappland join us with just a few words.""Huh? Are you serious?"Texas looked at the Doctor in disbelief."Of course! When have I ever broken a promise?""...Alright then, Doctor. I’ll trust you..."Giovanna, who was standing nearby, looked at the Doctor curiously after hearing him say Lappland would join them "on the spot.""What exactly are you going to say to seduce the daughter of the Saluzzo family leader...?"Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Jiawei walked up to Lappland with a smile."Hello, Lappland. Nice to meet you. I’m the Doctor from Rhodes Island.""Huh? You’re the Doctor? Why’d you interrupt my duel with Texas? That’s such a buzzkill! What do you want?""I have something to say to you."Jiawei smiled and extended his hand toward her."I think you’re talented. Join my Rhodes Island family.""Hahahahahahahaha! Doctor, that joke was hilarious! Hahaha—!"Lappland burst out laughing, holding her stomach in amusement."Hahaha... Why would I switch sides and join Rhodes Island right now?""Because next time... I’m going to kick your father’s ass in front of everyone.""...""..."Everyone fell silent, staring at the Doctor in stunned disbelief."Doctor... you... what did you just say...?"Lappland herself, after hearing his words, suddenly lowered her head gloomily... her whole body trembling slightly...Amiya couldn’t help but shout. "Doctor! What are you doing!? Weren’t you trying to recruit Lappland!? Why would you humiliate her father in front of her!?"Chapter 93: Lapland: "Then, I have only one answer!""This is... Dr. Rhodes Island's method? It's just a mess..."Giovanna on the side looked at the doctor in disbelief."Can Rhodes Island really defeat all the mafia families in Siracusa?"Except for Scout who have thought of something and admired the doctor, all the nearby Rhodes Island operators looked at Jiawei with great doubt.And in comparison, the loyal Saluzzo family gangsters who came with Lappland shouted at  Doctor in great anger."Doctor of Rhodes Island! How dare you insult our leader!?""You simply don't take the Saluzzo family seriously! You're done, Doctor!""Today is the day your Rhodes Island family dies!""It's not even the leader's turn to take action. We will make you die without a burial place!"Jiawei found that there were countless infrared aiming lines on his body, and all the Saluzzo family thugs around him who were holding crossbows were aiming at him with great anger.For a moment, the atmosphere of the whole street was full of gunpowder, as if it would be ignited with just a little spark."Miss! Give the order! Let's shoot the doctor of Rhodes Island into a hornet's nest!"At this time, all the Saluzzo family thugs around pricked up their ears, waiting for the order of the leader's daughter. As soon as she gave the order, dozens of crossbows would launch a round of volleys at the doctor of Rhodes Island."Doctor... what were you talking about just now... do you want to say it again?"Lappland who had been keeping her head down and silent since the beginning finally asked."Of course."At this time, Jiawei crossed his hands in front of his chest with greater pride and announced in a louder voice. "As long as you choose to join the Rhodes Island family, I swear by the dignity of the doctor, the head of the Rhodes Island family! I will take you to kick your father's ass in public and hang him on the streetlamp to humiliate him in public so that he, the head of the Saluzzo family, will lose face in the whole Siracusa! Finally, his family will be completely disbanded!""Do... you really have this ability...""I am the doctor of Rhodes Island. I always keep my word."Swoosh!As he said, he played with a small golden pocket watch in his hand.People standing far away did not notice this little detail of the doctor, but Lappland, who was closest, could see that the golden pocket watch in the doctor's hand was the one that's always in her pocket...And Lappland did not notice how it was taken at all.There is no need to explain too much; Lappland already knows everything.Even her father, whom she could not defeat—the doctor might really have the ability to do so!"Hehe..."At this moment, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth..."Damn you, Doctor! You are insulting the leader even more!"Whoosh!One of the closest Saluzzo family fighters could not control his emotions, and the crossbow in his hand suddenly went off and shot toward Jiawei's forehead."Hmph!"This was a special arrow used by the senior fighters of the Saluzzo family, with the emblem of the Saluzzo family printed on the arrowhead.However, as the arrow was about to hit, it was caught by Lappland with her bare hand."Huh?""What's going on!?""Miss? What are you doing!?"All the people of the Saluzzo family looked at their own young lady with great confusion.At this time, Jiawei smiled and stretched out his hand to Lappland again."Lappland, do you plan to fight with us, or join the Rhodes Island family and let me take you to beat your father? Make a choice!""Hehehe... Hehehehe... Hahahaha!"At the same time, Lappland grabbed the arrows used by the Saluzzo family thugs with both hands and laughed with her head raised."Then, I have only one answer!"Click!Lappland broke the arrow with the Saluzzo family emblem in her hand in half and then announced loudly with great excitement. "I will join Rhodes Island!"As soon as Lappland finished speaking, she threw a crossbow arrow in her hand like a dart at the Saluzzo family thug who had shot the crossbow arrow and instantly hit the thug's forehead."Doctor, when are we going to teach my father a lesson?"Lappland looked at Jiawei with extremely expectant eyes, and the white wolf tail behind her kept swinging wildly from side to side excitedly."I... I can't wait any longer! I want to do it right away!"Jiawei smiled and looked around at the people standing in the distance. "After all, I am a doctor of Rhodes Island. After I kill the thugs who attacked the Rhodes Island office, I will take you to find your father immediately.""It's a deal!" Lappland immediately waved her swords and rushed toward the Saluzzo family thugs without hesitation."You dare to come and attack Rhodes Island? Go to hell!""Wait... wait a minute! Miss! What are you going to do?""You are the one who led us to attack Rhodes Island!""We are in the same group!""No, no, wow!"The leader of the Saluzzo family, Alberto, ordered his daughter Lappland to command the gangsters who were besieging Rhodes Island together. They were completely dumbfounded at this time.They could not have imagined that Lappland, as the commander, would suddenly turn against them without any warning?Who can withstand this!?Because the commander suddenly changed sides, all the Saluzzo family's thugs were completely in chaos and began to flee one after another...Not only the Saluzzo family, but also Amiya, Giovanna, and other Rhodes Island operators were confused about the current situation for a while..."Amiya, Texas! Everyone! Follow me, let's take this opportunity to deal with the Saluzzo family!"After that, with Jiawei's order, the Rhodes Island operators present quickly killed the enemies whose morale had completely collapsed."This... Is this the ability of the Doctor of Rhodes Island? It's really amazing... Could it be that he is not bragging but can really overthrow Siracusa?"Giovanna originally questioned the doctor. She looked at the defeated and captured Saluzzo family thugs and couldn't help but sigh in her heart."Perhaps... it would be the wisest choice for me to join Rhodes Island?"——"Doctor! Hurry up! Here, here! Taking this road will help me find my father faster!"After beating up the Saluzzo family thugs who attempted to besiege the Rhodes Island office, Lappland immediately took Jiawei through a shortcut that concealed their presence to the vicinity of the Saluzzo family's mansion and carried out a "decapitation operation" against Alberto, the leader of the Saluzzo family.Texas also followed along.Scout, ACE, and Amiya led other Rhodes Island main operators to contain the enemy near the main gate, and after Alberto was defeated, they will lead others to launch a fierce attack.Patriot, Tallulah, and others were responsible for setting up defenses around the Rhodes Island office, which served as the base camp."Doctor... do you really believe in Lappland?"Texas followed along because she was worried. She glanced at Lappland who was walking in front with great vigilance.She also knew that Lappland had a bad relationship with her father, but even so, she didn't expect Lappland to turn so quickly...Although Texas didn't like Lappland very much, she still chose to follow because she was worried about the doctor's safety."Of course, if you don't trust someone, don't use them. If you use someone, don't doubt them. I believe in Lappland." Jiawei spoke to Texas with a smile.In addition, the system's rewards would not lie, so Jiawei had no doubts about Lappland joining."Okay... okay, Doctor... since you say so, then I won't object..."Hearing Jiawei say this, Texas really couldn't say anything more.And regardless of Lappland's personality, just considering combat effectiveness, Lappland's joining not only weakened the opponent but also greatly strengthened Rhodes Island's combat capabilities."Doctor, has Texas also joined Rhodes Island? If so, then Texas and I are 'colleagues.'"Lappland said this, looking at Texas with a sly smile."Will we be on the same team one day?""Who wants to be on the same team with you!"Texas immediately reached out and pulled Jiawei's doctoral uniform when she heard this."Doctor, you must not let me and Lappland perform tasks together in the future. I feel irritated when I see her... It will definitely affect my work efficiency!""Hahaha! I really want to perform tasks with Texas. I feel happy just thinking about it!"Lappland said this and immediately approached Jiawei with a sly smile and whispered,"Doctor, I'm actually much better than Texas. You'll have to use me more when the time comes.""Huh? You're better than me? Who gave you the confidence..."After hearing Lappland's words, Texas couldn't help but put her hand on the long sword at her waist, and her eyes became sharper..."Of course! Doctor, look..."Lappland said this with a sly smile on her face. She stretched out her hands and hugged Jiawei's right arm to her chest."Ah, this..."Even Jiawei didn't expect Lappland's "sudden attack."At this time, he could feel the soft touch from his arm and the hot breath from the other party's mouth."This thing... Can Texas do it?""Lappland, you!"Seeing Lappland deliberately tempting the doctor, Texas was a little anxious.If the doctor of Rhodes Island was really confused by a madwoman like Lappland... the consequences would be unimaginable.Then she also hugged the doctor's other hand in her arms."Of course I can do it! Doctor, you must not be fooled by this crazy woman!""Then... this..."With both hands held by Lappland and Texas, Jiawei felt like he had become the prey of the "black and white wolves" for a moment..."Don't make trouble, we are still on the mission.""Hahahahaha! Just kidding! Doctor!"Lappland immediately let go of the doctor's arm, then stuck out her tongue and laughed."It's so interesting to see Texas's expression~ We'll continue next time~ Doctor!"Hearing Lappland say there would be a next time, Jiawei vaguely felt that Texas's hand holding his arm became even tighter..."I won't let you succeed--!"—Under Lappland's guidance, Jiawei and Texas only killed a few Saluzzo family thugs and entered the Saluzzo family's mansion very smoothly.However, what puzzled Jiawei and the others was that the thugs in the mansion were patrolling the surroundings very vigilantly at this time, but their target did not seem to be Jiawei and the others.According to Lappland's understanding of her father, the three of them quickly came to the door of her father's study on the second floor."Daughter, I know you are outside. Come in."Just before the three of them were about to open the study and walk into the house, a voice full of deep and murderous intent came from inside.Obviously, even though Jiawei and his team were so careful, they were still noticed by Lappland's father, who was in the house.Since that was the case, Jiawei and his team didn't pretend anymore and simply pushed the door open and walked in.What surprised Jiawei and his team was that the floor and bookshelves of the study were covered with blood.Two people dressed as members of other families lay on the ground, covered in blood.At the same time, three people dressed as thugs were holding weapons and confronting Alberto, the leader of the Saluzzo family, who was sitting in his seat.At this time, the faces of the three thugs were full of anger and tension, and their bodies, holding machetes, were shaking uncontrollably.Alberto was sitting on the bench in front of the three thugs. He was touching a big orange with one hand with a calm face. Alberto looked at Lappland who had walked into the room, through the gaps between the enemies in front of him."Daughter, I will entertain these 'guests who are eager to die' first, and then I'll deal with your betrayal.""Hmph! Alberto! You actually look down on us? Today is your death day!""Don't be afraid! Go! Now is the best chance to kill Alberto!"These family thugs holding machetes shouted with saliva splashing, then rushed toward Alberto together.As the leader of the Saluzzo family, Alberto had naturally made countless enemies.Now the Saluzzo family had dispatched a large number of thugs to attack the Rhodes Island office, which had also caused the Saluzzo family mansion to be left almost empty.Therefore, some family gangs who had a grudge against the Saluzzo family happened to rush in front of Jiawei to assassinate Alberto.However, facing the attacks of these enemies, Alberto, who was sitting on a chair with an orange in his hand, snorted with contempt."Hmph, scum..."Swoosh!In the blink of an eye, a blade flashed, too fast for the naked eye to follow.Jiawei, Lappland, and Texas saw with their own eyes that the knife-wielding arms of the three people who were about to rush toward Alberto were almost cut off at the same time, and a large amount of blood spurted from their throats.They didn't even have time to scream before they fell into a pool of blood simultaneously.Meanwhile, Alberto was touching the long sword at his waist and sitting in his original seat with elegance.The swiftness of the slash that killed three people in one second was astonishing..."Daughter, tell me, what are you going to do with the doctor from Rhodes Island? Are you bringing him here to die?"After dealing with the three enemies in front of him, Alberto looked at Jiawei and Texas slowly, then spoke to Lappland in an extremely oppressive tone."Father..."Lappland, who had been smiling all the way, now looked serious when she saw her angry father again.Jiawei walked toward Alberto happily."Seeking death? Haha, no... I came here specifically to beat you up!"----Chapter 94: The Fall of the Saluzzo Family & How to Treat someone"Hmph..."Alberto glanced at Jiawei with disdain, then turned to look at Lappland. "Daughter, betraying the family and bringing enemies to your most important family... You really know how to accurately provoke me...""Father, I have never regarded the family as the most important thing." Lappland strode to her father."I have obeyed your arrangements since I was a child and became a 'real Siracusan,' but for me, there are only endless conflicts and killings in the family! The whole family... no, even Siracusa is like a cage to me!"Lappland said this, and couldn't help but look back at Jiawei."Now that I can break this cage, I don't want to escape this time, but break this cage with him head-on!"Lappland knew how powerful her father was, but if she was with the doctor, she might really be able to get rid of the shackles of this generation head-on!"I thought you would understand and accept the fact that you are a Siracusan when you grew up... It seems I was wrong."Alberto frowned and walked towards Lappland."In that case, I will teach you a lesson that you will never forget! No..."As soon as Alberto finished speaking, his fist was already heading for Lappland's face.However, just when Lappland was about to be hit, Jiawei had already activated the Jade Shield and the Anti-Injury Shield, and immediately pulled Lappland behind him."Doctor, you actually have the leisure to interfere in our family affairs?"Seeing Jiawei's sudden action, Alberto's tone gradually emerged with a hint of murderous intent."Now your daughter is an operator of Rhodes Island. If you want to hit her, you have to ask me if I agree first!""Humph! Ridiculous!"Alberto's eyes then flashed with a chilling light that penetrated his heart, and he swung the sword at his waist at Jiawei at lightning speed.Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...After several swift sword lights flashed across Jiawei's body, Alberto turned around and gracefully retracted his sword."Why should I ask a dead man for his opinion?""Doctor... Doctor——!?"Texas on the side shouted loudly.She had just vaguely seen that the head of the Saluzzo family slashed Jiawei's neck, chest, waist, thighs, and knees from top to bottom!Boom!At this time, the wall behind the doctor roared violently.The impact caused by the five slashes performed by Alberto even left five slash marks on the wall behind the doctor through the air, which showed how powerful it was!Alberto said to Texas standing in the distance with his back turned, with great confidence. "Texas, I won't kill you. Take the doctor's body away immediately! I have something to say to my daughter...""Hehe... Alberto, thank you for your concern, but it's not necessary.""What!?"Hearing Jiawei's voice, Alberto turned his head in great surprise.Seeing the doctor standing there unscathed, he, who always behaved elegantly, was shocked."Doctor! Why are you not dead--!?"Jiawei looked at the Jade Shield protecting him and waved his hand very easily."Your attack is indeed very strong, but unfortunately, you were just a billion points away from breaking through my shield.""This! How is it possible--!"Alberto had just used his strongest attack on the doctor with the intention of killing him. No one could stand there safely after taking that move!What's going on with this doctor from Rhodes Island??"Instead of paying attention to me, why don't you care about your hands?" Jiawei pointed at Alberto's hands with a smirk."Huh? What did you say... what... what!?"After hearing Jiawei's reminder, Alberto finally felt pain coming from his hands.He looked down and found that his hands had been attacked by some kind of sword at some point. Even the clothes near his wrists were torn, and blood was dripping from the wounds on the backs of his hands."Doctor! What did you do just now--!?"Alberto covered his hands, which were injured for no reason, and yelled at Jiawei.Jiawei broke his hands and showed an innocent look."Hmm? I didn't do anything, I just stood there...""Ahahahahahahahahaha! Doctor! You are awesome! After all these years, this is the first time I've seen my father bleed! What! So my father's blood is also red like mine!?"Lappland saw her father injured and immediately covered her stomach and laughed unceremoniously."Doctor, how did you do it? I didn't see him make a move... What kind of Art did you use?"Texas, who was standing behind, was also surprised to see everything in front of her.Alberto's injuries were actually caused by the Anti-Injury Shield.Jiawei had just used the Jade Shield to offset the damage, and then used the Anti-Injury Shield to bounce back a certain percentage of the damage.However, no one present guessed this."Hmph! Doctor! Don't be so arrogant!"Alberto immediately grasped the hilt of the sword and slashed at the doctor in front of him.The experiment of the new skill ends here...Jiawei immediately opened his arms and shouted loudly:"Star Platinum! The World--!"A strange sound rang out.The time around him paused.Jiawei looked down and found that the frozen time had stopped at the moment when Alberto swung his sword at his neck...He had to say that Alberto is indeed quite powerful, but since he met me...Jiawei immediately activated the skill template of Graves and took out a large double-barreled shotgun."Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless--!"Taking advantage of the still time, Jiawei shot several "Collateral Damage" at Alberto, who was standing motionless in front of him.Then Jiawei returned to his original location.Time began to flow again..."What--!"Alberto had originally thought that his sword was about to hit the doctor's neck again, but the next moment he suddenly found that countless fist-sized bombs had appeared out of thin air in front of him...Boom--!He wanted to dodge, but it was too late.A series of powerful explosions sounded in the study.The strong impact directly blasted countless large holes in the walls of the house, and raging flames gushed out of the holes in the wall.The entire house of the Saluzzo family also shook violently, and almost all the surrounding glass was shattered.After the explosion, the entire study was blackened by smoke and dust, and the surroundings were in a mess.Jiawei, Lappland, and Texas, who were protected by jade shields he had placed in advance, did not suffer any damage."But... damn... why..."After the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the group found Alberto. He had been blown into a corner of the study.At the moment of the explosion, he had tried to avoid the dangerous bomb that had suddenly appeared in front of him, but the strong shock wave generated by the explosion still knocked him there."Leader!""Are you okay?""We are here to support you!"At the same time, all the Saluzzo family thugs in the house rushed into the study after hearing the explosion.Seeing their leader in such a state, all of them were dumbfounded...At this time, Alberto's suit had been blown to pieces, and black smoke kept coming from his body.Although he had suffered many injuries, Alberto still stood up tenaciously with his own will and dignity.He held a long sword, stared at Jiawei with great anger, and said viciously:"Doctor... It's not over yet! As long as I can still stand! The Saluzzo family will never fall! In this situation, I can still...""Okay... In this case, I can only let you fall completely."Before Alberto finished speaking, Jiawei rushed directly at him.Under the gaze of everyone in the house, Jiawei then kicked Alberto in the crotch..."Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!"A heart-wrenching scream rang out...Finally, Alberto couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.With the "fall" of Alberto, the famous leader of the Saluzzo family...The thugs of the entire Saluzzo family immediately fell into chaos without a leader.Jiawei, Lappland, Texas, and others immediately defeated the thugs of the Saluzzo family who had broken into the house, and then cooperated with the Rhodes Island operators outside the mansion to attack from inside and outside, finally defeating all the Saluzzo family members in the mansion."Doctor... is it finally over... Is the Saluzzo family finally no longer in existence from today..."Next, the Rhodes Island family would leave here and deal with the remaining family gangs.Before leaving, Lappland stood in front of the door and looked at the mansion of the Saluzzo family with great emotion."Yes."Jiawei, who was standing next to Lappland, spoke."And it's not just the Saluzzo family. Other mafia families that are like the 'stubborn disease' of Siracusa will all disappear.""Doctor, I was born as a child of the Saluzzo family. Since I was a child, I was forced to learn from my father how to kill, how to betray, how to do anything for the benefit of the family... How to become a 'qualified' 'Siracusan'..." Lappland weighed the chain in her hand and smiled self-deprecatingly."I don't hate my father. I hate this family that is like a meat grinder, constantly killing each other. I hate Siracusa, which is full of blood and violence. My father is just a person who was 'tamed' by the former Siracusa... My father also hoped that I could be like him, but unfortunately I am not as good as he wanted...""There are still many enemies to be solved before we can kill other family gangs. Lappland, do you want to continue with me?"Lappland smiled and looked at Jiawei beside her."Of course! Doctor! Since even Texas has chosen to follow you, how can I fall behind! Let's see what kind of changes you can make to Siracusa. But before that..."Lappland suddenly changed the subject when she said this.She picked up her father who was tied up with chains with one hand, and the big white tail behind her kept shaking left and right, looking at the doctor with great expectation."Doctor, let's hang my father on the chandelier quickly. You promised me before!""Hehehehehehe! Of course! Let's go together! I'll get the ladder now!""Wow! Doctor, I always feel that we are like-minded! I suddenly feel that joining Rhodes Island was a great decision!"Texas nearby finally couldn't help but complain loudly at this time."Why, Doctor, don't let Lappland lead you astray——!"Then Jiawei and Lappland happily hung Lappland's father, Alberto, on the streetlamp nearby...Unfortunately, Alberto was unconscious throughout the whole process and didn’t know what happened...——After leaving the Saluzzo family and returning to the Rhodes Island office, Jiawei got a message from Amiya.While most of Rhodes Island was attacking the Saluzzo family, Leontuzzo (Virgil) of the Bellone family led people to attack the Rhodes Island office.According to Gavial, the medical operator who treated the wounded at the Rhodes Island office, Leontuzzo was very excited when he attacked the Rhodes Island office, and it seemed that he was trying to rescue his sister Lavinia (Penance), who had been captured by the doctor.This Leontuzzo was quite capable. He caused some trouble for the Rhodes Island operators with his agility and special gun, but was finally defeated by Patriot guarding the office with a javelin."Doctor, Leontuzzo (Virgil) is Lavinia's younger brother and the young master of the enemy family, the Bellone family. What should we do?""Well, Leontuzzo... Since he is Penance's younger brother, let Penance come forward to recruit him to Rhodes Island."After hearing Jiawei's decision, Amiya couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed."I heard that Leontuzzo behaved very violently, spoke passionately, and was very aggressive even after being captured. Even persuading him was ineffective. It may not be so easy to recruit such a person to Rhodes Island...""Oh? A Siracusan who resisted fiercely? I just like this kind of uncooperative Siracusan captive! In this case, I can finally do the thing I want to do most!""What does the doctor want to do most..."Hearing the doctor's answer, Amiya couldn't help but ask with some confusion."Of course, it's a 'special' method for Siracusans, which will definitely make him surrender obediently."Jiawei couldn't help but smile when he said this, and then he snapped his fingers at Scout, who was standing next to him."Scout, come with me to take out the things I asked you to prepare a few days ago from the refrigerator."Scout also agreed with a smirk after hearing Jiawei's request."Hehehe... Doctor. That pasta and pizza are finally going to come in handy... Hehehehe...""Hehehehehehe... Now let's give Leontuzzo a taste!"Then Jiawei and Scout both left the office with sinister looks on their faces."Why are the Doctor and Scout laughing so happily?"Amiya looked at the expressions of the Doctor and Scout and was a little confused for a moment.---Chapter 95: I Want to Bring Miss Sicily to Rhodes Island!Soon, Jiawei and Scout pushed two dining carts into the basement where Leontuzzo was imprisoned, with Amiya following behind, a puzzled look on her face."Doctor! You bastard! Not only did you deceive Texas, but you also kidnapped my sister and persuaded her to join Rhodes Island! You—I'll never forgive you!"As soon as he saw the Rhodes Island doctor appear, Leontuzzo shouted furiously."Not bad. Very energetic. A young and promising heir to a noble family—perfect for Rhodes Island," Jiawei replied with a smirk."What!? I’m from the Bellone family! Even if I die, even if I have to jump off a building—I will never join Rhodes Island!""Really, really? So that’s how it is. No need to be so angry," Jiawei said, motioning for Scout to place two plates on the table in front of Leontuzzo."I heard you haven’t had lunch yet, so I brought you something to eat. We can talk more after you’re full."Scout then uncovered one of the two plates."This... this is—!"Leontuzzo’s expression shifted instantly. He grew dizzy and screamed, his tail bristling on instinct.On the plate sat a Siracusa specialty pasta, drenched in a thick chocolate sauce and a gravy made from Originium worm liver...Although this dish was considered an "authentic delicacy" among the Gaul nobles, for Siracusan natives—especially someone like Leontuzzo, a proud heir of an orthodox family—merely seeing it sparked intense rage, let alone eating it."Doctor! You—are you seriously—!?"Leontuzzo struggled wildly, staring at Jiawei in disbelief."Hehehe... That’s right. Once you're full, we’ll talk about your future at Rhodes Island."Jiawei and Scout each took a spoonful of the chocolate-lathered pasta and brought it toward Leontuzzo, their grins widening."Let’s treat the young master to some noodles!""Got it, Doctor!""No! No—wait! Don’t feed me that disgusting stuff! W-Woo! Woo woo woo—!"......Eventually, Leontuzzo had no choice but to eat the plate of "Siracusan Fury" pasta—meticulously cooked by Scout, but nightmarish to Leontuzzo.After enduring such torment (at least from his perspective), the young heir was drained of both mental and physical strength. The arrogance he once had was visibly diminished.But even so, Leontuzzo refused to fully submit."Huff... huff... I’ll never betray my family to join Rhodes Island... I’ll escape, rescue my sister, and then bring down your entire organization! I swear it!""Hmm... Looks like we’ll have to go with the next option, Scout.""Yeah, there's no helping it."Jiawei and Scout exchanged nods and uncovered the second plate.This time, it appeared to be an ordinary ham pizza.But then Jiawei pulled out a can of pineapple.Leontuzzo instantly sensed danger. His body tensed, and sweat began to pour down his face."Doctor... You—what are you doing?! You can’t! You absolutely mustn’t—!""Hehehe... Well, at least give it a try."From Leontuzzo’s perspective, it was a nightmare.The 'evil' doctor laid pineapple slices—overflowing with 'sacrilege'—on top of the pizza with a devilish grin.In that moment, the once-pure pizza was transformed into something... unspeakable.No, to Leontuzzo, it could no longer be called food at all—it was a plate of chaotic blasphemy."How could you... how could you defile pizza like this..." Leontuzzo mustered all his strength to object."Huh? What was that? I think it tastes pretty good—though I don’t eat pizza that often.""I actually like pineapple pizza, Doctor," Scout added.Jiawei and Scout each took a slice of pineapple pizza and took a bite.Then they picked up a slice and offered it to Leontuzzo."Come on, time to feed the young master his dessert.""Doctor! What are you doing!? Wait—!"Amiya who was watching from behind let out a distressed sigh."Doctor! Wait! I... I’ll do anything you ask! Just please—stop!"Even the Rhodes Island operators above ground could faintly hear Leontuzzo’s anguished screams from the basement...After all that, Leontuzzo finally broke and surrendered to Jiawei.Thanks to the passive skill Conqueror’s Mark, and with some persuasion from his sister, Leontuzzo eventually stopped resisting and joined Rhodes Island.Congratulations, congratulations...——Currently, Giovanna—the leader of the Rossati family—is in Rhodes Island custody.Alberto, the head of the Saluzzo family, has been completely defeated.The young master of the Bellone family had also fallen into the hands of the Rhodes Island family.Now, more than half of the resistance from the three strongest families had been dismantled.However, the remaining Rossati and Bellone families still refused to give up.Wallach, the second-in-command of the Rossati family, led his forces to cooperate with the Bellone family, attempting to reach the core tower of the Nomadic town Volsinii.If they could seize control of the core tower, they would effectively gain control over Volsinii itself—giving them a bargaining chip to negotiate with Miss Sicily and a chance to continue resisting the Rhodes Island family.Upon receiving intelligence about the move, Rhodes Island immediately convened an emergency combat meeting.But just then, a throwing knife, tied with a letter, shattered the window and embedded itself into the conference table.Everyone in the room fell silent.Jiawei stepped forward, removed the knife, and opened the envelope. Inside was a beautifully wrapped invitation letter.Upon opening the cover, they saw its contents written in blood-red ink:"Doctor, if you don't want any Rhodes Island operators to die because of you, come to the Gray Hall and meet me.—Lady Sicily"All the Siracusa operators in the room gasped upon reading the sender’s name.Lady Sicily was infamous for her ruthlessness. She had crushed the Twelve Families of Siracusa through sheer violence and brought a semblance of law and order to the chaos of the region.Judging by the tone of this letter, her intentions were anything but friendly… There was no doubt that Rhodes Island was now directly in her crosshairs.“She came… just as expected. No running from it now,” Jiawei said calmly.He wasn’t surprised. After all, he had established Rhodes Island’s presence in Siracusa without permission and had launched direct operations against other families—an act that blatantly violated the rules Lady Sicily had imposed on the city.What he hadn’t expected, though, was for her to “receive” him in such a dramatic, Godfather Banquet-style fashion.“Doctor, you must be extremely cautious,” Penance warned. “Besides Lady Sicily herself, she has a powerful Laterano priest under her command—and a secret force known as the 'Giant Wolf.' We must tread carefully.”The Rhodes Island family was now just “one step away” from completely dismantling the major criminal families in Siracusa. Now fully committed to Rhodes Island’s ideals, Penance was determined not to falter at the finish line.“If we can sit down and reason with Lady Sicily, she might come to understand our vision for Siracusa…” Texas added, nodding in agreement with Penance’s hopes.There was a shared sense among the Siracusa operators that Lady Sicily might just listen to the younger generation’s ideals.“Doctor, what should we do next…” Amiya asked, turning toward Jiawei with uncertainty.Just then, a system prompt flashed in Jiawei’s mind:"Host, please choose from the following options:"Sane Option: Sit down and have a proper conversation with Lady Sicily, convincing her to support Rhodes Island’s reform plans.Reward: Sanity +40. Note: This option does not unlock the limited-time operator—Lady Sicily.""Insane Option: Recruit Lady Sicily as a Rhodes Island operator. Reward: Unlock the twin pistols 'Ebony and Ivory'; Agility +10.Note: The twin pistols 'Ebony and Ivory' are iconic weapons used by a certain demon hunter. They have auto-loading and unlimited ammo."If this were following the original Arknights plot, it was possible to convince Lady Sicily through patience and persuasion.After all, Lady Sicily was aging. Deep down, she hoped that someone younger would one day take up the torch and change Siracusa for the better.Otherwise, the city would die with her...But if the sane option was chosen, Jiawei wouldn’t be able to recruit Lady Sicily!And if Lady Sicily did join Rhodes Island, all of Siracusa’s problems could be resolved in one go!This option… was just too tempting."Confirming host’s choice. Equipment unlocked: 'Ebony and Ivory'. Agility +10.""Equipping twin pistols 'Ebony and Ivory' unlocks skills 'Devil Trigger' and 'Death Bloom'.""Skill – Devil Trigger:Passive: Enables magical bullets when firing with twin guns.Active: Charge to unleash enhanced enchanted bullets.Skill – Death Bloom:User becomes erratic, unleashing a storm of bullets at nearby enemies. Enhanced by 'Devil Trigger'."Ouch! These twin pistols sound incredible! Even without knowing their full power, the description alone screamed style!Just then, Giovanna—overhearing the conversation from outside—gathered her courage, stepped into the room, and held up a necklace for all to see.“Doctor, this is… the necklace Lady Sicily once gave me. If we bring it with us, she might be willing to hear us out.”Although Giovanna still held some doubts about Rhodes Island, things had come too far for hesitation. She wanted to do her part for the group Texas belonged to.The others in the room nodded.With a token from Lady Sicily, their chances of persuading her could indeed rise.But in the end, all eyes turned to Jiawei—the one who would make the final decision.“Everyone, there’s no need for so much trouble,” Jiawei spoke with a smile as he scanned the room.“Why don’t I just recruit Lady Sicily into Rhodes Island?”“...”“...”“...”Every Siracusa girl in the room stared at him in shock.“Doctor… are you serious? You think Lady Sicily would agree to join Rhodes Island?”“That’s impossible! Someone like Lady Sicily would never join so easily!”“Oh my god… If Lady Sicily really became our colleague… I can’t even begin to imagine…”Penance, Texas, Giovanna, and the others were utterly dumbfounded.None of them had even considered this as a possible solution. Lady Sicily’s status was far too lofty in their eyes.Sure, if she joined Rhodes Island, it would solve almost every issue—but how could someone like her possibly agree?Jiawei simply crossed his arms, looked them all in the eye, and said confidently:“It’s fine. I’ll give her a reason she can’t refuse.”“Hahahaha! Doctor, you’re hilarious!” Lappland burst out laughing, slapping Jiawei’s shoulder. “I knew I didn’t misjudge you! Let’s do this!”Amiya covered her face with one hand and sighed deeply.“Ahh… Doctor, trying to recruit Lady Sicily… I don’t even want to think about what Doctor Kal’tsit would say… Whatever… I give up…”Though most of the team couldn’t quite grasp Jiawei’s reasoning, they still trusted him as the leader of Rhodes Island.According to the revised plan, the main Rhodes Island operators would head to the core tower to eliminate the gang members threatening to seize control of Volsinii.Meanwhile, Lady Sicily would be Jiawei’s responsibility.Originally, he had planned to go alone. But due to strong insistence from Texas, Desperate, Lappland, and others, he agreed to bring them along.No matter what the outcome, these Siracusa-born operators—who yearned for change—wanted a chance to meet Lady Sicily in person.Jiawei raised his arm with resolve and set off toward the Gray Hall with his team.“Let’s go! Come with me to meet the future Rhodes Island operator—Lady Sicily!”----Chapter 96: Bang, bang, bang! Pull my devil trigger!"Doctor... are we really going to recruit Lady Sicily to Rhodes Island?"Sitting in the back seat of the car, Penance recalled the doctor's plan just now and still found it a little incredible."Lady Sicily and Father Agenir brought 'guns and order' to the originally disordered Siracusa with absolute violence and ruled like this for decades... Would such a 'great' person really join Rhodes Island willingly?""Hahahaha, why do you think so complicated, our great official?"Lapplandsitting in the back seat put her hands behind her head and laughed indifferently."No matter whether Lady Sicily is the leader or something else, we just need to go to the Gray Hall, find Lady Sicily, and force her to sign the employment contract, isn't it?""You think too simply, Lappland!"Penance reminded loudly."Let's not talk about Lady Sicily for now. Father Agenir beside her is definitely not an ordinary character... Anyone who provokes him, no matter how he hides or defends, can't escape his gun.""Hehehe! Don't worry, Penance..."Jiawei, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, turned around and said to Penance behind him with a smile."I have plenty of ways to get Lady Sicily to join Rhodes Island. It depends on my performance at that time.""Okay... okay... maybe I don't know much about the doctor..."Seeing the doctor so confident, Penance really couldn't say anything more..."Everyone, someone appeared in front."Just when the car was about to reach the Gray Hall,Texas suddenly warned loudly.Everyone in the car found that at the end of the street a few hundred meters away from the car, there was a man named Sankta wearing a black priest robe, standing alone in the middle of the road.The priest had a rifle hanging on his waist. His hair was gray and his face was a little old, but the pair of wings behind him, which were unique to Sankta, radiated a dazzling light, giving people a sacred and majestic aura of a saint."Yes! It's Father Agenir! Everyone, be careful!"The very good-looking Penance immediately recognized the identity of the priest standing in the middle of the road.And this person stood in the middle of the road for cars, and it was obvious that he was not a good person."Wait... Father Agenir, is he planning to snipe us from such a long distance?"At this time, Father Agenir was flipping through a thick black-covered book with his left hand, sighing slowly."Our God in heaven, may your name be sanctified. May your kingdom come; may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I wish to become your shining gun, giving sinners trials and salvation, Amen."Agenir put down the book in his hand, slowly raised the gun in his hand, and aimed at the car that Jiawei and the others were riding in at the end of the road.Even though the car was at least a few hundred meters away from Agenir at this time, he still pulled the trigger without hesitation.Bang——!First, a dazzling light like a small flash bomb flashed from the muzzle of the gun, and then a gun bullet flashing with dazzling light seemed to pierce the barrier of the surrounding air and hit the car at a very fast speed."Yuzhang shield!"Jiawei, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, immediately controlled the Yuzhang shield to wrap the car.Boom!After the powerful gun bullet fired by Father Agenir hit the Yuzhang shield, a strong explosion accompanied by dazzling white light occurred.The people in the car were protected by the Jade Shield and were not injured, but the explosive power of this bullet even cracked the hard ground."Hold on tight, everyone."The car was bumpy after it hit the crack in the ground, but Texas managed to stabilize the car with her superb driving skills.Father Agenir, who was standing in the distance, fired powerful light bullets at Rhodes Island's car.Texas kept controlling the car to dodge.But even if the Jade Shield could withstand powerful bullets, the strong light and damage to the road produced by the bullets could still have a significant impact on the car."Doctor! The opponent's range is too far. There is no way to go on like this... What should we do next? Should we abandon the car? Or drive to a nearby alley to evade?"For Jiawei, getting out of the car, and then walk through the streets to the Gray Hall to avoid the opponent's fierce long-range sniping is way to do it. Although this way of dealing with it is safe, it is really too cheap.It doesn't fit the style of Doctor at all.If you want to do it, you have to do it in a cool way!"Texas, just drive, and let me deal with this old priest!"Jiawei simply opened the passenger door and climbed directly onto the windshield of the car with the help of his stand "Star Platinum"."Bo... Doctor? What are you going to do? Don't stand there! It's too dangerous!"Penancd sitting in the back looked at the doctor standing on the windshield and hood of the car. She didn't know what she was going to do for a while."..."Not only the people of Rhodes Island, but even Agenir himself who was standing in the middle of the road in the distance frowned when he saw Dr. Rhodes Island climbing onto the windshield."What is the doctor from Rhodes Island going to do..."Jiawei smiled evilly and reached into his doctor's suit to take out two special pistols, one white and one black, "Ebony and Ivory," from his exclusive storage space."Old priest, I am using this to defeat you! I heard that your gun is very powerful, so let's see who is more powerful!"Jiawei then raised the double guns in his hands and fired bullets at Father Agenir in the distance.The effective range of ordinary pistol bullets is only a few hundred meters, but with the effect of the passive skill "Devil Trigger," Jiawei can break this limit with the black bullets with powerful magic fired by Ebony and Ivory.Instantly, several bullets flashing black light flew toward Father Agenir."So that's it, interesting!"According to the intelligence, Agenir knew the madness and intelligence of the doctor from Rhodes Island.Father Agenir immediately understood the doctor's intention, and he also continued to shoot bullets flashing white light at Jiawei in the distance.Just like that, Jiawei, on the Mercedes-Benz, and Father Agenir, who was standing still, began to shoot at each other excitedly."Ah-ah--!""Ahahahahahaha--!"Agenir and Jiawei couldn't help but shout out loudly because of the surge of dopamine in their bodies.For a moment, the black bullets full of strange magic and the white bullets emitting white light began to fly across the street.A large number of black and white bullets collided and offset each other in the middle, emitting a wonderful light mixed with black and white.Sitting in the car, Penance looked at the debris that kept hitting the car window and the fireworks outside."Oh my God, the doctor can actually use guns to confront Father Agenir head-on... I don't have any guns...""Hahaha! That's crazy! If only I could use guns!"Just as the car was about to approach the Gray Hall, Father Agenir waved his hands vigorously and created a light shield to block the bullets through his own Originium Arts. At the same time, he stopped shooting and raised his gunpowder to aim at Jiawei, chanting under his breath...The gunpowder in his hand began to emit dazzling light as he chanted..."Be careful! Doctor!"Penance in the car immediately reminded the doctor loudly.According to her understanding of Agenir,no sinner could escape his next "holy judgment."Seeing Father Agenir's actions, Jiawei simply stopped firing and began to accumulate more demonic power in the ebony and ivory ammunition through the skill of "Devil Trigger"...When the car was only 100 meters away from Agenir, Agenir stopped charging and pulled the trigger in the direction of Jiawei.A bullet as dazzling as a small sun flew out of the gun.At this time, Jiawei's charging was also complete. After pulling the trigger, with a muffled sound, two black bullets containing demonic power gathered into one and whistled toward Agenir.The bullets fired by both sides collided violently in mid-air, and the strong impact even shook off all the signs and other items of the shops around the street."What——!"What surprised Agenir was that the bullet he fired with all his strength was actually swallowed by the doctor's black bullet.The next moment, the black bullet containing magic exploded in front of Agenir.A large amount of black smoke emerged, the ground nearby shook, and the glass of the surrounding shops was shattered by the impact.Father Agenir himself was unable to withstand the power of the bullet and was blown into a nearby bakery."Hehehe! Done!"In order not to continue to affect Texas's driving, Jiawei immediately flipped back to the co-pilot."Oh my God, this is the first time I've seen Father Agenir being defeated..."Sitting in the car, Penance looked through the rear window at the direction where Father Agenir was blown away and couldn't help sighing in her heart.In this way, Texas and the others drove the car through Father Agenir's attack and headed toward the Gray Hall."After fighting to this extent, the old woman will no longer say that I'm lazy..."After the car drove past, Father Agenir walked out of the bakery slowly.At this time, his clothes were ragged and black smoke was still coming out of his body, but he was not hurt too much.Agenir glanced at the car going away."Doctor of Rhodes Island, your strength really impressed me. Even I can't stand it... You passed the test set by the old woman, and you can go to the Gray Hall to see her... Hehe, in a sense, she is more difficult than me..."Agenir said, smiling and slowly putting on the eye mask with googly eyes printed on it..."..."At this time, in a room in the Gray Hall, Mrs. Sicily couldn't help but smile after watching the fight between the doctor and Father Agenir on the street."Doctor of Rhodes Island... It seems that he is very useful..."Soon, the car finally drove to the door of the Gray Hall.This is where Miss Sicily handles Siracusa affairs. Sixty years ago, Miss Sicily used absolute violence to force the 12 major mafias of Siracusa to negotiate in the Gray Hall.When everyone got out of the car in front of the gate, a group of agile people surrounded them.These people were all wearing uniform gray suits, sunglasses, and carrying machetes with cold light behind them.However, these people did not intend to attack. One of the leaders came to Jiawei and said very respectfully. "Hello, Mrs. Sicily is waiting in the reception room."Jiawei looked around at Texas, Penance, and Lappland, and then followed these people into the Gray Hall.After passing through a series of luxuriously decorated corridors, the group finally came to the reception room under the leadership of these guards.After entering the Gray Hall, Texas and Penance became very serious."Wow! This is my first time here. The decoration here seems to be more gorgeous than my home! Mrs. Sicily has a really good taste."Compared to Texas and Penance, Lappland was very curious and commented on the decoration of the reception room."Hmmmm... it's really good. It seems that we can directly use the furniture here to decorate our lounge in Rhodes Island..."Jiawei looked at the high-end furniture with Siracusa style around him with sympathy.Texas and Penance originally hoped that the doctor could correct this incoherent Lappland, but after hearing what the doctor said, they gave up the idea..."Hehe, doctor, if there is furniture you like here, I can give it to you as a gift."Soon after, a female voice with a magnetic tone came from the shadows.Jiawei and the others looked in the direction of the voice. Surrounded by a group of guards wearing sunglasses, a woman wearing a simple black coat and still charming appeared in front of Jiawei and the others.The long years had left some wrinkles on Mrs. Sicily's cheeks, but the noble and elegant temperament emanating from her was still not inferior to all the young people in the hall.The unruly eyes were even more fascinating. She is still like this at her old age. Jiawei really don’t know what kind of beauty Lady Sicily must have been when she was young...At this moment, the system prompt message sounded in Jiawei’s mind.“Host, please choose from the following options.”“Sane Option: Rely on persuasion to make Lady Sicily join Rhodes Island. Reward: Rationality +30. 50% chance to obtain the rare operator—Lady Sicily.”“Insane: Force Lady Sicily to have a special massage, and then persuade her to join Rhodes Island. Reward: Obtain the skill ‘Bo-style massage.’ 100% chance to obtain the rare operator—Lady Sicily.”“Note: The skill ‘Bo-style massage’ requires the target to lie on the bed to activate. Through clever techniques, the target is given a full-body massage to relieve stress, make the body and mind happy, and be overjoyed. When performing this skill, the target cannot break free, and the ‘persuasion rate’ of the target is greatly improved.”“‘Bo-style massage’ also has the special effect of beautifying and delaying aging. The effect is more obvious when massaging older women.”---Chapter 97: I must give Mrs. Sicily a full body massage!As long as you give Lady Sicily a "Bo-style massage," you can 100% get the rare operator—Lady Sicily?And as long as Lady Sicily joins Rhodes Island, Rhodes Island can do whatever it wants in Siracusa!This option is simply irresistible!"Confirmed that the host has made a choice and obtained the skill 'Bo-style massage.'""Confirmed that the host has obtained two skills that can only be activated on the bed. In order to improve the host's skill experience, the system rewards the host with an additional skill 'Bed Radar.'""Note, the skill 'Bed Radar': after activating the skill, you can know the location of the beds within 300 meters around."Although this bed radar seems useless at first glance, But if you think about it carefully, it may really come in handy in some special situations!"Please sit down, everyone. I won't talk nonsense. Let's talk about business."Lady Sicily waved to Jiawei, Texas, and others to sit at a negotiation table together. Except for Jiawei, perhaps because of the relationship with the Lupo race, as the younger generation, Lappland, Texas, and Penance couldn't help but feel a little nervous when facing the higher-level Lady Sicily.Even Lappland, who was usually heartless, couldn't help but feel her heartbeat speeding up when facing Lady Sicily.Penance's reaction was even more intense. Just now, when she was talking to Lady Sicily, she almost slipped the code in her hand because of nervousness.Lady Sicily crossed her fingers and put them against her mouth, saying in a slightly reproachful tone,"Doctor, I just agreed to let Rhodes Island set up an office in Siracusa, but you not only established the Rhodes Island mafia without authorization, but also went to war with people from other families?!"Lady Sicily said this, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes."Does Rhodes Island want to provoke a war? Are you trying to seize the entire Siracusa?""That's a good question."Faced with Lady Sicily's questioning, Jiawei chuckled."As a medical company aiming to save all infected people in the Terra world, we established the Rhodes Island family only to set up the Rhodes Island office here more safely and stably. Because the Siracusa mafia family affected the safety of the Rhodes Island office, we planned to eliminate these armed forces, that's all.""Hmph... Doctor, I didn't expect that Cellinia of the Texas family, Lappland of the Saluzzo family, the young judge Lavinia, and Giovanna of the Rosseti family all joined you. I didn't expect Rhodes Island to be so popular.""Of course, in addition to the people you just mentioned, there is also the young master of the Bellone family, Leontuzzo, who also agreed with Rhodes Island's philosophy and voluntarily joined the Rhodes Island family. However, because he had eaten some strange food recently, he was exhausted and did not come here to see you."Half of the Siracusa people mentioned by Lady Sicily were forcibly captured by you, Doctor, to Rhodes Island...After hearing what the doctor said, Penance on the side couldn't help but complain in her heart."Even Leontuzzo of the Bellone family has joined Rhodes Island..."After hearing what the doctor said, Lady Sicily looked around at the girls around Jiawei."Can you tell me why you followed the doctor?"Penance looked at Texas, and then took the lead in mustering up courage."It's because I found so many people who intend to change Siracusa. I won't run away anymore. I want to create a country without mafia families."Texas, on behalf of Penance and Lapland, spokd to Lady Sicily very solemnly."So that's it, I understand..."After hearing what Texas, Penance, and others said, Lady Sicily nodded with relief."I can lend the mobile town Volsinii to you younger generations for experiments, but..."Suddenly, Lady Sicily changed the subject and glared at Jiawei."Doctor! This is Siracusa, not a vegetable market! I will never allow an 'outsider' to break the rules I set! No matter who it is! First, I will take back Rhodes Island's authority to set up an office in Siracusa, and then the Rhodes Island family must be disbanded immediately! In the end, Rhodes Island's forces can only retreat to the second line and assist Cellinia, Lavinia, Giovanna, and others as mercenaries to change Siracusa's behavior. After the matter is done, we can talk about setting up a Rhodes Island office, otherwise..."Pah!Mrs. Sicily clapped her hands.The nearby suit thugs with sunglasses all took out their shining blades and surrounded Jiawei and others. Although the clothes of these thugs were not much different from those of other mafia families, they also exuded a violent and terrifying aura of ferocious beasts..."Otherwise, I will wipe you and everyone in Rhodes Island out of Siracusa!"As soon as Mrs. Sicily said this, the atmosphere in the whole room immediately became tense.As expected, Lady Sicily came with bad intentions this time...Jiawei sighed inwardly as he looked at the people around him."Lady Sicily, what are you going to do? How can you take back what you gave out?"Jiawei couldn't help but ask curiously about the right of Rhodes Island to set up an office in Siracusa that the other party wanted to take back."I'm sorry, Doctor. I thought I knew Rhodes Island very well, but now I find that I was wrong... Your behavior here makes me feel confused and dangerous... This may be a misunderstanding, or it may not be... But before I get to know Rhodes Island again, I will not let an extremely unstable foreign civilian armed force be active in Siracusa."Lady Sicily still didn't know much about Rhodes Island, but Rhodes Island's combat power was worth using, so in order to reduce risks, she made the decision to force Rhodes Island to retreat to the second line."No need to apologize, Lady Sicily."Even when surrounded by powerful enemies, Jiawei still sat in his seat calmly. "I have a more reliable way to resolve the current misunderstanding.""Hmm? What method? Tell me.""Wouldn't it be better if Miss Sicily also joined Rhodes Island?""...""...""...""..."As soon as Jiawei said this, the entire conference room fell into silence.Madam Sicily and her loyal thugs looked at the doctor in great surprise.After all, the current situation was tense and could escalate into a fight at any time, but the doctor's sudden crazy words were completely beyond their expectations.In fact, it was not just Miss Sicily. In addition to Jiawei who was at ease and Lapland who was heartless, Texas and Penance were also quite embarrassed.Especially Penance herself. If she put her hands on the ground at this time, she might be able to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room house..."Hehehe... Doctor, are you serious? Or are you kidding me?"After a moment of silence, Madam Sicily asked with some doubt."Of course, Madam Sicily, you don't know Rhodes Island, you can easily understand us after joining."Jiawei smiled and waved his hand to explain."We at Rhodes Island welcome operators with various identities and backgrounds. After you join Rhodes Island, we can discuss our own affairs. I will regard you as the leader of Siracusa, and you will regard me as the boss of Rhodes Island.""Doctor, you say it easily..."Madam Sicily knew that as long as she joined Rhodes Island, she would need to consider many things for Rhodes Island.Bang!Madam Sicily slapped the edge of the table hard."Do you think I can agree to this kind of thing?"Facing Madam Sicily's questioning, Jia Wei still had a smirk."Hehe... I will give you a reason that you can't refuse.""This is the first time I have seen such an arrogant person... Let me see your ability!"Madam Sicily immediately raised her right hand, made a circle with her thumb and index finger, and aimed at the doctor."Swallow!"The next moment, a huge white wolf created by Madam Sicily's Art suddenly appeared in front of Jia Wei.Before everyone could react, the huge white wolf had already opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Jiawei along with a corner of the table.Moreover, the powerful impact carried by the white wolf pushed out Texas and Penance who were sitting next to it shocked the ground."Do...Dr.——!"Seeing this, Texas immediately clenched het swords and planned to fight back. If it's for Doctor, she was ready to confront Mrs. Sicily head-on."Madam Sicily, you want to defeat me with this move? Isn't it a bit too much?"But at this moment, Jiawei's voice came from the white wolf's body.Bang bang bang-!A series of black gun gun bullets pierced through the huge white wolf's body and shot out.Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! After howling, the white wolf suffered a severe blow to its body, and finally turned into a puff of white smoke and dissipated in the house."Miss Sicily, since you have already started, I will not be polite!"After getting rid of the white wolf's engulfment, Jia Wei simply jumped in front of Mrs. Sicily.Chains of Heaven!He summoned several chains and then entangled Miss Sicily."Oh, is that all..."Although Mrs. Sicily no longer has the wrist strength of her youth, her Originium Arts are still as good as before.Just when she was about to use the Originium Arts to get rid of the sudden chains, Jia Wei had already reached out and held her in his arms.With the skill effect of 'Killing with Sister in Arms', Mrs. Sicily who was held by Jia Wei was unable to activate the Originium Arts she relied on."This... this is... My Art can't be used? Why?"Madam Sicily couldn't help showing a surprised expression at this time. She didn't expect that thr Doctor of Rhodes Island had such a strange Art."Protect the lady!""Doctor! Stop!"At this time, the group of high-level thugs surrounding nearby immediately surrounded Madam Sicily to protect her.And Jia Wei held Madam Sicily and shouted at the surrounding enemies."If you dare to get closer, I can't guarantee the safety of your boss!"Seeing that their boss had fallen into the hands of the doctor, these loyal subordinates did not dare to step forward.Texas, Penance, and Lapland also came to Doctor."Doctor! What are you doing? Aren't you going to recruit Madam Sicily? Why did you change it to kidnapping!"Penance immediately complained loudly when she saw this situation."But from a certain perspective, it seems that there is no difference..."Texas on the side answered in a low voice."Ah! Thinking back to my previous experience, it's true... Ah! No! Now is not the time to think about this!"Penance shook her head vigorously, looked at the elite guards who kept surrounding her, and then asked Jia Wei."Doctor! What should we do next?""Hahaha! Doctor, are you planning to capture Madam Sicily and bring her to Rhodes Island!? How can I miss such an interesting thing!"Lappland held two swords and looked at the big hands around her, looking eager to try."Doctor, what are you going to do? Are you going to capture me and force me to join Rhodes Island? I'll be frank, this is simply a waste of effort! I will never join Rhodes Island! You might as well kill me here!"Madam Sicily spokd to Jia Wei in a firm tone."Hehehe! Don't be so nervous, Madam Sicily, be careful of more wrinkles." Jiawei leaned close to Madam Sicily's ear and spoke in an extremely magnetic voice."I just want to give you a full body 'Bo-style massage'.""...""...""...""...""Doctor!? This is not the time to joke!"When Penance heard the doctor's plan, she immediately complained loudly."Hehehe! I'm not kidding... Anyway! Follow me!"Jia Wei immediately activated the skill of the outlaw, Mo Fei, and then took out a huge double-barreled shotgun and continuously shot "smoke bombs" at the surroundings.In an instant, the entire conference hall was filled with thick smoke so thick that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.The guards who originally surrounded the doctor suddenly had a blackout in front of their eyes and could hardly see anything."Damn it! Where is Mrs. Sicily!""You! Your knife cut me, idiot! Something tripped my foot again!""Be careful, don't hurt Mrs. Sicily by mistake!"While the enemy was in chaos, Jia Wei carried the kidnapped Madam Sicily and Texas, and Penance and Lapland while using the Chains of Heaven to clear the way, took the opportunity to slip out of the conference hall, and then ran upstairs along the stairs on the side."Doctor? Why do we have to go upstairs? Instead of going downstairs?"Along the way, Penance couldn't help but ask with some confusion."Are you planning to use the top floor to escape from the Gray Hall?""Escape? Of course not... Just follow me!"Jia Wei had already discovered a room with a bed on the second floor upstairs through the "bed radar".As long as he got there, he could massage Madam Sicily.Soon, Jia Wei carried Madam Sicily to the room upstairs. This room might be someone's lounge in the Gray Hall. After pushing open the door, the first thing he saw was a luxuriously decorated living room, and on one side of the living room was a bedroom with a bed."Texas, Penance, Lapland, your mission is to guard the house and prevent any enemies from disturbing me.""Doctor, what are you going to do next?""Didn't I just say that I have to give Madam Sicily a massage! Then she will be willing to join Rhodes Island!"Jia Wei spoke, holding Madam Sicily and going directly into the bedroom..."Doctor! So you are really not kidding!? In addition, you can recruit Madam Sicily through massage? How can it be so simple..." Penance looked at the doctor's back and kept complaining."Lavinia, let's believe the doctor."Texas patted Penance's shoulder and said in an extremely calm tone.Although Texas didn't understand why massage could recruit the hostile Madam Sicily, she had seen the doctor do a lot of weird things when she was in Lungmen...Maybe the doctor also has his own deep meaning this time..."This... OK... OK..."Penance saw Texas so calm, she couldn't say anything for a while."Doctor! You! You might as well kill me..."Madam Sicily was carried into the bedroom by Jia Wei. She was startled at first when she saw the bed, and then spoke with a determined look."Don't be so nervous, Madam Sicily, I have no ill intentions. My 'Bo-style massage' also has a beautification effect! I will definitely serve you comfortably and beautifully!"Jia Wei put Madam Sicily on the bed, then raised his hands like a doctor about to perform an operation, shook his ten fingers, and spoke with a smile."Then... I'll start--!""Wait! Wait a minute! Doctor! You... don't come over!"......"Wow! Wow ah ah ah ah ah...!""No... don't use so much force!""It... it hurts... but... um um um um...""My skin... how..."...When Penance and others outside the bedroom door heard the shouts from the bedroom, they couldn't help but look at each other awkwardly.At this moment, Penance instantly blushed."Doctor, is this massage... legal?"---Chapter 98: Lady Sicily has become more beautiful! She has also joined Rhodes Island!"Wow! It hurts... It hurts, don't touch me.""Lady Sicily! Don't worry, I'll be gentle.""It hurts... It hurts, but it's really comfortable..."In the bedroom, the sound of Lady Sicily's panting continued to be heard."What kind of massage is the doctor doing...""It feels a little strange, but it's hard to say what's strange..."Texas, Penance, and others who stayed in the living room knew that the doctor was giving Lady Sicily a massage.But after hearing this series of strange sounds, they still couldn't help but feel shy."Doctor, Why do ... I always feel that you are breaking the law! I really can't just ignore everything!"Penance hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go into the bedroom to see what was going on.In her opinion, Lady Sicily was a big shot in Siracusa. If the doctor suddenly messed around, things would be out of control...Bang bang bang——!However, at this moment, the door of the room was knocked violently."Open the door! Open the door quickly!""Rhodes Island, are you in there?""What are you going to do to Madam Sicily! Open the door quickly!"At this time, Madam Sicily's guards had found this place, and then they began to use brute force to smash the door in turn.The enemy attacked, causing Texas, Lapland, Penance, and others to have no time to pay attention to the movement in the bedroom.After all, the task assigned to them by the doctor was to guard the door.The door installed in this bedroom is quite advanced, and the material used is also an extremely strong alloy. In addition, Texas and others moved sofas and cabinets to block the door.As a result, the guards outside could not break through the door in a short time.However, this way of blocking the door is not a long-term solution. Texas and Lapland both held their swords, and Penance also raised the chain hammer in her hand and prepared for battle.At the same time, in the bedroom. "Okay, Miss. Sicily, since someone is disturbing us, let's stop here for the massage."Jia Wei also heard the knocking on the door outside at this time and ended the massage with some regret."Is it... over... It's just a massage..."Mrs. Sicily thought that the doctor from Rhodes Island would do something strange when he brought her here by force... She didn't expect it was just a massage.After Mrs. Sicily sat up from the bed, she looked at the doctor with some doubts.After the massage, she felt very comfortable, and she always felt that her skin was tighter and smoother than before, and her body was full of vitality, which made her feel younger.Why did the doctor want to give her a massage at this time?"Doctor, why did you do this...""Wow! Look, where did this beauty come from!"Jia Wei looked at Miss Sicily, and then praised her excitedly."Beauty? Oh... Stop joking. I haven't heard such praise for more than 20 years...""I'm not talking nonsense, Madam Sicily, you can take a look."Jia Wei smiled and handed a mirror on the bedside table to Madam Sicily.Madam Sicily held the mirror in front of her with some doubts."This... this is!?"Madam Sicily looked at herself in the mirror with great surprise.The wrinkles on her face that were originally engraved by the years have now been eliminated by more than half. If you don't look closely, you can hardly see them!A rough calculation shows that she is at least 25 years younger...In Madam Sicily's opinion, it's as if she is looking at an old photo of herself with her charm."I... am I not dreaming? Doctor, did you perform some superb beautification Originium Art!?"Jia Wei proudly gave himself a thumbs up."Of course! This is the 'Bo-style massage' I mastered, which has the effect of beautifying and prolonging life. If the customer is satisfied, you can give me a five-star praise.""Oh my... I am not dreaming."Any woman will care about her appearance, even the high-ranking Lady Sicily is no exception.Now that she has regained her lost appearance, she can't help but feel happy physically and mentally.Even if the doctor did some strange things to her before, which made her quite annoyed, now these little things have all been washed away...Not only that, she is even quite grateful to the doctor..."Sorry, Doctor of Rhodes Island, I may have been too harsh on Rhodes Island before..."Jia Wei naturally struck while the iron was hot and looked at Lady Sicily quite solemnly."Madam Sicily, Rhodes has no intention of causing any destruction or plunder in Siracusa. Texas believes in me, Lapland believes in me, Lavinia believes in me, Giovanna and Leontuzzo also believe in me, and I also hope that you, Madam Sicily, can believe in me."Jia Wei said this, with one hand on his chest and the other hand extended to Madam Sicily, inviting her in a very polite and respectful tone."The purpose of our Rhodes Island is always to rescue all the infected people on Terra. To this end, we hope to create a country without gangs, violence, and hatred for the infected people in Siracusa and other civilians. I implore you to join Rhodes Island. What you can't do, we, Rhodes Island, Texas, Lavinia, etc. can definitely do if we all work together... If you join Rhodes Island now, you can enjoy the 'Bo-style massage' again...""I see. I understand. I may have been too demanding of Rhodes Island before."Mrs. Sicily sighed with emotion."Since I can believe those, I should also give Rhodes Island some opportunities. Since you are so enthusiastic, since you kindly invited me, I will try to get to know you by joining Rhodes Island... I will have to trouble the doctor to arrange the massage in the future..."As long as the mood gets better, everything will be easier to talk about.After some discussion, Rhodes Island and Lady Sicily finally reached a consensus, and finally Lady Sicily agreed to join Rhodes Island.——"Rhodes Island, you are really too much..."At this time, in the living room, after a moment of silence outside the door, Father Agenir’s scolding suddenly rang out.He never thought that the doctor from Rhodes Island would dare to be so reckless as to hold Lady Sicily hostage in Siracusa, but because he was worried about her, he rushed here immediately.“Now is... hunting time!”Boom!A roar sounded, and a bullet with strong impact force tore a big hole through the door lock. Then a guard used brute force to break down the door and rushed inside first.“Don’t even think about coming in!”“Hahahaha! Finally, we can have some fun!”“Lappland, be serious! Now is not the time to play!”The guard who rushed inside was immediately attacked by Texas, Lapland, and the three girls, and was quickly knocked out. The guard showed a relieved smile like “my life is worth it” before fainting...But then more guards broke through the door and entered the house.Soon, the entire living room descended into chaos.Shortly after, Father Agenir also entered through the door.“Old man! You ruined my good thing again!”But at that moment, Miss Sicily’s voice full of rebuke rang out from the bedroom.Her target was not Rhodes Island, who had taken her hostage, but Father Agenir, who led the rescue.The reason for Miss Sicily’s reaction was clear—if Father Agenir had not taken the lead in breaking down the door, she might have been able to enjoy the doctor’s massage for another ten minutes...“Old woman, you... huh? Wait... hey hey hey—?”Father Agenir looked at Mrs. Sicily as she came out of the bedroom, unable to hide his shock.“You old woman... no, you... how did you get younger!? Oh my God! What happened? Weren’t you kidnapped by the doctor from Rhodes Island?”Father Agenir couldn’t believe his eyes—the woman in front of him was exactly the Lady Sicily from his memories!Who are you, Miss beauty—!?In the living room, even the guards who had served Lady Sicily for many years, along with Texas and the others, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly when they saw her face.The younger, more beautiful Lady Sicily made even women like them feel some pressure...“Kidnapped by the doctor from Rhodes Island? No, I just received a massage from the doctor. How dare you break down the door and attack the people of Rhodes Island? Step aside immediately!”“Yes... yes! Lady Sicily!”“As you command! We’ll stand aside!”The guards who had rushed in were frightened by Lady Sicily’s angry tone and quickly stepped aside.“Now, I want to announce something to everyone...”Lady Sicily smiled, glanced at Jiawei beside her, then looked around at everyone in the house.“That is, from today onward, I will have a second identity—as an operator of Rhodes Island! I hope everyone can stop the conflict with Rhodes Island immediately!”“What! The doctor actually did something others could never do!?”A Lateran man living in Siracusa couldn’t help but exclaim loudly upon hearing Lady Sicily’s words.At this moment, everyone in the house looked at Lady Sicily and the doctor in surprise.Although they found it hard to believe Lady Sicily’s decision, they could only accept reality.“It’s great to resolve the current conflict in such a peaceful way! Yeah!”Jia Wei smiled and made a scissors sign to Texas, Penance, and the others.“In addition, Texas, Lapland, and Penance, if you want, I can also give you a massage.”——Just like that, Lady Sicily agreed to join Rhodes Island, but Jia Wei also respected her current status as leader of Siracusa and would not forcibly seize her rights and position.After all, when it comes to leading Siracusa, Lady Sicily is more authoritative. Even if Siracusa is rebuilt without the rule of mafia families, Lady Sicily’s assistance remains essential.After discussion, Lady Sicily would still appear as the leader of Siracusa publicly, while secretly maintaining her second identity as an operator of Rhodes Island.With this cooperation, Rhodes Island’s rights to operate in Siracusa would be “unimpeded.”In addition, Lady Sicily promised Rhodes Island that if Rhodes Island faces a major crisis on Terra in the future, Siracusa will provide as much support and help as possible.After settling matters with Lady Sicily, the remaining threats were the remnants of the Rossati family led by Valach and the Bellone family.“Doctor, I don’t know how much you know about the Wolf Lords of Siracusa. The Wolf Lords are immortal. After tiring of fighting among themselves, they began to use humans as their hunting minions. Generally, they disdain directly interfering in human affairs, but...”Before leaving the Gray Hall, Lady Sicily found the doctor alone to remind him.“I need to warn you—Zaaro, the Wolf Lord behind the Bellone family, is one of the ‘outliers.’ If the Bellone family is really in crisis... I’m afraid he will intervene. At that time, you will face the wrath of the Wolf Lord. Be careful. Of course, if you can’t handle it, I can help you personally...”“Wolf Lord Zaaro...”Hearing Lady Sicily’s warning, Jiawei couldn’t help but repeat the name.It was because of Zaaro that he had gotten drunk and fallen asleep, and Zaaro took the opportunity to abduct his Texas to Siracusa.If Zaaro really shows up, he must be punished! He must be slapped in the face!At this moment, Jiawei’s mind received a system prompt message:“Please choose from the following options.”“Sane Option: Persuade Zaaro to give up interfering in human affairs. Reward: Gain skill ‘Anti-Wolf Fist,’ rationality +30.”“Insane: Take Zaaro as your dog! Reward: Obtain special item ‘Poké Ball.’”“Remarks: Skill ‘Anti-Wolf Fist’ is effective when facing harassment from opposite-sex hooligans, such as defeating them or making them more excited.”“Remarks: Special item ‘Poké Ball’—after defeating any ‘animal’ or ‘monster,’ you can throw the Poké Ball to capture it and make it your pet. It does not work on humanoid creatures.”“You can summon captured pets at any time to assist in battle.”“You can carry up to six Poké Balls on your person; the rest must be stored.”“Take the immortal Wolf Lord Zaaro as your dog (pet) and summon him to assist in battle at any time?”“There is such an option? That’s really cool!”“This option is simply irresistible.”---Chapter 99: Let Wolf Lord Zaaro be my dog!After looking at the system options, Jiawei made a decision immediately."Confirmed that the host has made a decision, obtained the special item 'Pokeball,' leave Pallet Town from now on, get a Pokémon, and become a great Pokémon trainer!" Is my system in the wrong set!?Looking at the system prompt information in his mind, Jiawei couldn't help but complain in his heart."Doctor, about the matter of Wolf Lord Zaaro... can you deal with it?"Seeing that Jiawei had been silent, the young and beautiful Lady Sicily in front of him couldn't help asking again."Ah! You don't have to worry about the matter of Wolf Lord. You just need to send someone to secretly assist Rhodes Island to retake the robbed Volsinii Core Tower."Jiawei turned around immediately."After all, I plan to take Zaaro as my dog...""Hmm? Take Wolf Lord Zaaro as your 'dog'? Did I hear it wrong just now... He is the immortal Wolf Lord... How can you do it?"Miss Sicily looked at Jiawei's back as he left and said to herself in great confusion.But she quickly shook her head and stopped thinking about such things. Then she looked at Father Agenir beside her."Old man, secretly help Rhodes Island to eliminate those gangster families who attempted to seize the core tower of Volsinii...""Yeah, although in my opinion, even without our assistance, Rhodes Island can recapture the core tower...""I asked you to go, so you go, don't complain so much!""ZZZZZZZZ...""Get up! You are pretending to be dead here again!"...——"Doctor, the car is ready."At the gate of the Gray Hall, Texas, who had prepared the car first, was standing at the door waiting for the doctor. "It's unbelievable that we got out of the Gray Hall safely... and we persuaded Lady Sicily to join us..."Now thinking back to what happened just now, Texas couldn't help but feel a little scared.After all, they had just clashed with Lady Sicily, the leader of Siracusa..."Yes, but our efforts were not in vain."Jiawei smiled and waved at Texas."Let's go, it's time to end this farce.""Okay, Doctor."When the group left the Gray Hall by car and passed by the court, Penance got off the car and said goodbye to the doctor.Penance also met many bailiffs who still had justice in their hearts in the court. Now even Lady Sicily has stood on the side of Rhodes Island, so she doesn't have to worry about it anymore!Soon, under her call, some bailiffs who still had hope for the future of Siracusa also gathered around her.When the car arrived near the core tower, Lappland, who had not fought enough and was itching to fight, jumped out of the car with Jiawei's consent and went to support.Just when Jiawei and Texas were about to go to the core tower, they suddenly received a call from Amiya stationed in the Rhodes Island office."Doctor! It's bad! The Rhodes Island office was attacked, and a large number of Bellone family gangsters attacked here! And the leader of the Bellone family, Bernardo, is also here, we need support!"After hearing Amiya's call for help, Jiawei and Texas noticed it.Now the main forces of Rhodes Island, including Patriot, Tallulah, FrostNova, Skullshatterer, and Shield Guard, have been transferred to the core tower. Only Amiya, Mudrock and her team, Giovanna, Gaviel, and others are left in the office.I'm afraid that the Bellone family's fight for the core tower is not the main goal, but to use it as bait, and take advantage of the Rhodes Island main force leaving the office, and take the opportunity to capture the Rhodes Island office."Very cunning... Bernardo (the leader of Bellone), but it's useless!"Jiawei simply jumped out of the car, summoned the D-wheel, and rode on it.If there were only two people, the speed of the D-wheel would of course be faster than the car."Doctor... where did you get this motorcycle from...""No time to explain, get in!""Okay... okay, Doctor."The first priority now is to go back to support the Rhodes Island office. Texas simply stopped asking and sat behind Jiawei."Texas, this motorcycle is very fast, so hold me tight.""Yeah, okay!"Then Jiawei felt the soft touch of the girl behind him..."No, try harder, or I'll throw you off!""Okay! Is this okay?"Hearing the doctor's request, Texas didn't think too much and did it completely.She leaned her whole body against Jiawei's back and hugged his chest tightly with her arms open."YES..."Jiawei, who was sitting in the front, clenched his fist and whispered in relief.Since he got the D-wheeler, he has always wanted to "carry a girl" like this...Buzz buzz buzz buzz——!Then Jiawei drove the D-wheeler and rushed to the Rhodes Island office at a very fast speed.——At the same time, in the open space around the Rhodes Island office.The densely packed thugs of the Bellone family have surrounded the Rhodes Island office.Bernardo stood alone at the gate of the Rhodes Island office with a scepter in his hand.Amiya stood at the front of the team, confronting Bernardo, the leader of the Bellone family."Mr. Bernardo, are you still determined to fight with Rhodes Island? Your son has chosen to join Rhodes Island. Can't we sit down and have a good talk?""Little girl, I don't trust Rhodes Island at all! I won't recognize my son's choice!"Bernardo smiled and waved his arm."And how much do you know about Siracusa? How can the future of Siracusa be left to you! Get out of here as soon as possible!"With Bernardo's order, a large number of explosive crossbows were shot at the house of the Rhodes Island office.In order to protect the Rhodes Island office, Amiya used her arts to create a barrier to block most of the crossbows."I won't let you destroy this place!"In order to prevent the Rhodes Island office from becoming the "target of public criticism," Mudrock, who stayed here, simply raised the giant hammer and rushed into the crowd of Bellone gangsters alone."If you want to destroy the things that Doctor cares about most, you have to get through me first!"After Mudrock joined Rhodes Island, Jiawei also trained her combat ability.With the shield formed by her own arts and the powerful hammer in her hand, she caused a lot of chaos to many thugs of the Bellone family."Oh my god! This beautiful Sarkaz girl is so good at fighting!""What kind of monsters are the operators of Rhodes Island!?"The thugs of the Bellone family were all shocked when they saw Mudrock that could resist and fight.Such a powerful thug could easily get the second-in-command position in the family, but is such a person just an operator in Rhodes Island?"Don't panic, listen to my arrangements."However, Bernardo quickly made adjustments, allowing most of the thugs to get rid of Mudrock's restraint and concentrate on attacking the Rhodes Island office."Don't give up!"Facing an enemy that far outnumbered Rhodes Island, Amiya opened her arms and cheered up all her companions around her."I have notified the doctor, and reinforcements will arrive soon!""That's right! I'm here--!"As soon as Amiya finished speaking, Jiawei's voice came from the roof of a nearby three-story house!At this time, Jiawei had already driven the D-wheel carrying Texas all the way here in a straight line."So... so fast!!"Amiya looked at the Doctor and Texas who appeared upstairs on a motorcycle.Speak of the Doctor, and the Doctor is here!"Texas, take care of these guys in one go!""Yes, Doctor!"Hearing the Doctor's request, Texas, who was upstairs, jumped down with two swords in hand and landed in the crowd of the Bellone family's thugs.Countless sword lights then flew in all directions with her as the center, and at the same time, swords rained down around her, defeating all nearby enemies.As Texas appeared, all the Bellone family's thugs present couldn't help but gasp."Texas! Why... did you suddenly join Rhodes Island..."Bernardo asked in confusion."I don't want to carry out meaningless killing anymore! I believe in the Doctor! He can bring changes to Siracusa!"Faced with the inquiry of her former employer, Texas answered without hesitation.At the same time, the doctor also rode his motorcycle to Bernardo, and the surrounding area was already full of the thugs of the Bellone family."Is it the doctor from Rhodes Island who took the initiative to fall into our encirclement? It's ridiculous, kill him!"Bernardo waved his arm and surrounded Jiawei with all the thugs around him."It's not you who surrounded me, but I surrounded all of you alone!"Jiawei then took out his double guns "Ebony and Ivory," and showed an extremely sunny smile on his face."Death Bloom!"The next moment, Jiawei's figure immediately became erratic, and at the same time, a large number of bullets containing demonic power continued to vent in all directions!I bloom in death, just like a flower at dawn!Amid the wails of the people around, a large number of thugs of the Bellone family were all shot and fell to the ground."Oh my god! Is this the doctor from Rhodes Island? I've never heard of such power!""Quack! Everyone, hurry up and run!""The doctor from Rhodes Island is crazy!"The nearby enemies were frightened by the terrifying power of the doctor from Rhodes Island, which was like the "death god coming," and retreated backwards.Soon, all the family thugs who were standing next to Bernardo had run away."Bernardo, what else do you have to say now?"Bernardo originally wanted to draw the long sword at his waist to fight back, but Jiawei had already taken the lead and put the double guns in his hands against his forehead."Now that your son Leontuzzo has voluntarily joined Rhodes Island, as his father, do you still plan to continue to resist?"Although Jiawei also hoped that Leontuzzo, who joined Rhodes Island, could personally persuade his father, perhaps because the previous "diet therapy" was too stimulating for him, Leontuzzo was still lying on the bed in the basement to rest before Jiawei left the Rhodes Island office..."I didn't expect to lose to you in this way. The doctor of Rhodes Island is indeed worthy of his reputation... I finally experienced it personally this time..."Bang.The long sword in Bernardo's hand, which had been used for decades, fell to the ground, making a slightly desolate collision sound.He bowed his head slightly to Jiawei and said softly,"I completely admit defeat... It's time to end the game about the family...""Is it... over..."Texas, who was standing aside, couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw Bernardo's surrender.Now the Rossati family led by Wallach is already at the end of its strength. If the most threatening Bellone family has announced its surrender, then this riot caused by the gangster family will finally..."No! Bernardo! I don't admit your failure!"But at this moment, an extremely angry voice came from nearby.Boom!!Suddenly, a deafening roar sounded.A large wall of the Rhodes Island office was suddenly broken, and a huge black shadow with a pair of red eyes rushed out.Everyone finally saw the true face of this huge black shadow.This is a super huge black wolf. The outline of this black wolf is erratic. Just by looking at it, it can be vaguely perceived that this is a terrifying existence that is superior to mortal species.The giant wolf's eyes flashed with blood-red light, as if all creatures in front of it were as small as prey."Lord of the Wolf... Zaaro..."Texas immediately recognized the name of this huge black wolf.It was because she wanted to fulfill its promise that she came back from Lungmen...With the arrival of Wolf Lord Zaaro, the open space in front of the entire office instantly became as quiet as death.Everyone present couldn't help but feel fear when facing a "monster" of the level of the Wolf Lord..."Bernardo! You are the fang I chose. I will never allow you to bow to the enemy until you die! Otherwise..."Wolf Lord Zaaro stared at Bernardo in front of him angrily, and then threw the young man in his clawed hand heavily in front of him."Otherwise, I will eat your son with my own hands! Keep fighting! Until death!"Just now, the Wolf Lord broke through the wall, obviously to capture Leontuzzo who was resting in the basement of the Rhodes Island office..."Leontuzzo!"Seeing his son become the hostage of the Wolf Lord, Bernardo was a little anxious.Family is a hundred times more important to him than his own life."You can do anything to me, please don't hurt my son...""Lord, why are you here..."Texas finally couldn't help asking Zaaro.Because in her cognition, the Wolf Lord of Siracusa would not take the initiative to intervene in human affairs...After hearing Texas' words, Zaaro roared at her angrily."Texas, you actually have the nerve to ask me questions! According to my plan, the Bellone family will eventually defeat all the families in Siracusa, even including that arrogant Sicilian lady, and become the biggest winner in Siracusa! And you! Not only did you fail to abide by the agreement with me to assist the Bellone family, but you also assisted an outsider, a shitty Rhodes Island family? You simply don't take me seriously! I've decided! I'm going to put you..."Boom!Before Zaaro finished speaking, an oversized bomb suddenly exploded in its mouth."Ahhh! Who is it!?"Zaaro suffered this sudden attack and couldn't help but step back half a step, and then he roared even more angrily."It's me, the doctor from Rhodes Island." Jiawei carried a large shotgun that was still smoking and walked to Texas with a smirk on his face."Zaaro, I've decided, I want you to be my dog!"---Chapter 100: I conquered the Wolf Lord!"Doctor!? What are you talking about!?""You... you want to make Wolf Lord Zaaro your dog?"Amiya and Texas, who were standing nearby, all looked at the Doctor in great confusion.To take this terrifying creature as your dog?How could this be possible!?"Doctor! Your jokes really make me laugh—!"Jiawei's words also completely attracted Zaaro's hatred.Zaaro's mouth continued to emit strange white smoke, staring at Jia Wei in front of him with blood-red, terrifying eyes, extremely angry."I didn't come to you, but you just wanted to deliver yourself to my door? Doctor! Rhodes Island! You bunch of annoying mortals! You ruined everything I planned again and again! I've decided! I'm going to kill you first! And then I'll kill Rhodes Island myself! All of you will become my food!""Ah... Wow... ahhhh...""This... this is..."The surrounding Rhodes Island operators and the thugs of the Bellone family suddenly felt an extremely strong fear.At the same time, they also felt that some strange and deep energy was constantly eroding their bodies. They wanted to evacuate, but their feet could not move at all because of fear.However, Jiawei was not affected by the Wolf Lord's fear ability because of the surrounding Jade Shield."Amiya, take the people away from here first.""Yes, Doctor!"When the Wolf Lord Zaaro was not paying attention, Jia Wei took the opportunity to summon Enkidu to rescue Leontuzzo, who was caught by it, and threw him in front of Bernardo."Ah! Ah... Thank you very much, Doctor!"Bernardo immediately hugged his son with gratitude on his face. He originally thought that his son who was caught by the Wolf Lord was in danger, but he didn't expect that he would be rescued by the Doctor of Rhodes Island."Okay, retreat quickly, I'm busy now!""Okay!"Hearing Jia Wei's urging, Bernardo immediately took his son to the back."Doctor, my art has no effect on you? Humph! In that case, I will crush you into a pulp with my own hands!"Zaaro's whole body suddenly became stronger, supporting his body with his feet, and turned into a terrifying giant werewolf."Ah, ah, ah, ah—!"The werewolf roared again and stretched out its huge claws in great anger to slap the Doctor.Boom!A deafening roar sounded immediately, and the huge claws with powerful force directly slapped a big hole in the rocky roadside, and countless cracks extended from it.The ground shook violently as if it had suffered an earthquake, and the nearby electric poles and trees swayed continuously, and all the nearby glass was shattered by the impact.Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!Not only that, Zaaro's claw strike just now even destroyed the water pipe buried underground, and a large amount of liquid gushed out from the surrounding cracks."Hahahaha! Doctor! Weren't you very arrogant just now? Why don't you scream now!"Zaaro slowly raised his giant claws, intending to check the Doctor's body that he had flattened."This... what is this!?"But what puzzled Zaaro was that the Doctor of Rhodes Island was still alive in the big pit that he had hit.Although most of the Doctor's body was hammered into the pit by Zaaro at this time, the exposed upper body of Doctor has his hands crossed in front of his chest, with a relaxed smile appeared on his face."You! What's wrong with you? Are you made of iron?"Jia Wei still kept his hands crossed in front of his chest at this time, looking at Zaaro in front of him with a playful smile."So that's how it is, Zaaro. You are indeed quite capable. Not only do you have strange curse arts, but your wrist strength is also far beyond that of ordinary people... Well, you passed my test. You are very suitable to be my dog!""Were you testing me just now? Bah! Don't be so arrogant!"Zaaro then opened his huge claws to pull Jia Wei out of the soil, and then opened his bloody mouth to bite him!"Well... as expected, the first thing I do after capturing you is to make you brush your teeth well..."Jia Wei frowned in disdain and then summoned the Chains of Heaven."Then next, I will start taming!"Suddenly, a series of golden chains appeared out of thin air nearby and tied Zaaro's whole body tightly. Jia Wei also took advantage of this gap to break free from Zaaro's huge claws."What! What's the matter with this chain! Why is it so strong!"Just when Zaaro tried to break free from the Chains of Heaven that trapped him, Jiawei who had landed had already taken out the yew phoenix tail feather wand and then roared at the huge werewolf Zaaro in front of him."Avada Kedavra!"Avada Kedavra!Bang!An extremely dazzling green light shot out from the top of the wand and hit Zaaro's chest directly, and a large amount of ominous black smoke came out of his body."Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!"Zaaro, who suffered a fatal blow from the Tucao, couldn't help but let out a miserable wail.He staggered and then fell to the ground with a bang... The originally huge body also turned into black smoke and drifted away."Is this monster dead..."Amiya and some uninformed people around couldn't help but ask in a low voice after seeing the terrifying werewolf.However, Texas and Bernardo's faces were still grim.Because they knew that Wolf Lord Zaaro was an immortal being... Such an attack would only make him more frantic!Just as Texas expected, not long after, Zaaro's black smoke was pieced together again.Soon, Zaaro, who had fully recovered, stood in front of Jia Wei again."You! What arts did you just use, Doctor!"Zaaro recalled the deadly green light that had just been shot out from the wand in the Doctor's hand, and he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, but when he thought of himself as an immortal being, he became arrogant again."It's useless! I am the Wolf Lord, an immortal being. No matter how powerful your attack is, you can't kill me completely! I! I am an invincible being—!"Zaaro roared and once again opened his huge claws and pounced on the Doctor.In Zaaro's opinion, the powerful Art that the Doctor just used could never be used continuously.Therefore, he could definitely win the final victory by using his own immortal ability!"Oh? It seems that I have to dispel your confidence first. Let you feel what it means to be more afraid than death!"Jia Wei waved the magic wand in his hand again and pointed it at Zaaro."Crucio!"Crucio!A large number of green beams burst out from the tip of the demon like an excited electric charge.Wolf Lord Zaaro immediately felt bad and wanted to dodge, but was finally hit by this series of green lights."Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!"Zaaro let out a more heart-wrenching wail. He felt that his soul was torn apart by an extremely powerful force, and severe pain swept through his whole body."Waaaaaaaaaaaa!""No... Don't... Ahhhhhhh...""What is this... What kind of Originium Art is this... Wahhhhhh..."Under the heart-wrenching torture of the Crucio Curse, Wolf Lord Zaaro kept wailing in despair.Even though the Wolf Lord is immortal, this kind of "torture" still causes him excruciating pain.Zaaro tried to leave, but the Chains of Heaven that appeared later locked his whole body firmly in place.After being attacked by the Cruciatus Curse, he was severely injured physically and mentally and had no strength to break free from the Chains of Heaven."Hahahaha! Weren't you very arrogant just now? Aren't you invincible? Why don't you scream now?"Jia Wei was holding the magic wand tightly in his hand at this time, showing an extremely sunny and cheerful smile."Hahahaha! Wolf Lord Zaaro! How do you feel now? How do you feel?""No... don't! Ah ah ah ah ah——!"The green light that continued to shoot out from the front of the magic wand even dyed the surrounding ground and streets emerald green.Amiya, Texas, and others nearby all stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes.The Wolf Lord Zaaro who just looked like an invincible "villain" was actually suppressed by the Doctor.And from now on, it seems that the Wolf Lord Zaaro who suddenly broke in has become the victim, and the Doctor is the real villain..."Then next, I will be serious...""Weren't you serious just now!?"Being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse, Zaaro couldn't help but sigh after hearing the Doctor's words.Jiawei then stopped releasing the Cruciatus Curse, and while Wolf Lord Zaaro hadn't recovered yet, he opened his hands and began to chant quickly."My body is made of swords.""My blood is of iron and his heart of glass."......"But this life had yet to end." "The false body was, nevertheless, made of swords."The next moment, Jiawei and the Wolf Lord immediately appeared in the snowfield full of various weapons."Where... is this!?"Wolf Lord Zaaro looked around in great fear. He could feel the terrifying power contained in the countless swords inserted around him and couldn't help but feel timid.After so many years of existence on Terra, he had never seen such terrifying Originium Art."Have you seen enough? Let's continue!"Jia Wei once again controlled the Chains of Heaven to tie up Zaaro's body tightly and then summoned all the swords inserted around him to the sky and smashed them down like raindrops!Various swords pierced Zaaro's body, and the explosions caused by the energy contained in them came one after another.At this time, Zaaro didn't know how many of them had killed him.Even with the ability of immortality, he became an indestructible sandbag in the face of such a huge gap in power."Then use this next..."After torturing Zaaro with the sword rain, Jia Wei smiled and took out the Sword of Victory."Thirteen restraints are released! Decision start!" Jiawei held the Sword of Victory in front of his chest with both hands, and the sword body began to emit golden light."This is a one-on-one battle.""Approve.""This is not a battle with spirits.""Approve.""This is a battle with evil.""Approve.""This is not a battle against humanity.""Approve.""This battle is not against good people.""Approve."After quickly unlocking the five restraints, the holy sword in Jia Wei's hand began to emit an extremely dazzling light.The powerful energy fluctuations contained in the sword body not only spread to the surroundings but also blew away the fine snow on the ground nearby."This... This is..."When the Wolf Lord Zaaro saw the holy sword in Jia Wei's hand that was constantly flashing, a trace of fear instinctively emerged in his heart.Although Zaaro did not know the true origin of the sword in the Doctor's hand, he could feel that this sword was definitely not a product of Terra, and the energy contained in it was definitely not something that he, as the Wolf Lord, could handle."Stop... Stop, Doctor... Stop... I'm not your opponent at all...""Oh, really, you admit defeat."At this moment, Jia Wei suddenly changed the subject, with an extremely happy smile on his face."You can't die anyway! I've already opened the seal, so why shouldn't I give you a good time!""Doctor! You! What are you doing..."Before Zaaro finished speaking, Jia Wei had already leaned down, holding the sword in his hands with both hands, which was constantly flashing with dazzling light, and swung it hard at Zaaro.Boom——!"No! Wah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah——!"A "light cannon" containing great power burst out from the blade, and Wolf Lord Zaaro could not resist this overwhelmingly powerful blow at all and was once again defeated and turned into countless fragments.After defeating Wolf Lord Zaaro, the beam of light continued to fly forward and finally disappeared into the sky."Ahhhhh... I... I... Don't go on..."After resurrecting again, Zaaro suffered severe damage both physically and mentally after a series of tortures by Jia Wei.Even though he is immortal, the strength of Doctor is far beyond his imagination...He never expected that a mere mortal would have such terrifying strength.He wanted to escape, but Jiawei had been using the Chains of Heaven to capture and control him, so there was no chance of escape at all.Seeing that Zaaro was lying on the ground and no longer moving, Jia Wei immediately released Unlimited Blade Works  and returned to the real world with Zaaro.Except for Amiya and Mudrock who knew the Doctor's abilities, everyone else looked at Doctor and Zaaro who suddenly disappeared and suddenly reappeared in surprise.However, compared to before he disappeared, Zaaro was now tied up. He had completely collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, completely without the previous arrogance."After so much torture, the conditions for taming him should be almost met..."Jiawei then took out a Poké Ball and threw it at Zaaro lying on the ground."Go! Poké Ball!"The Poké Ball first hit Zaaro's forehead, and then the Poké Ball split up and down and shot out a white light that wrapped around Zaaro's body."What... what is this!?"Although Wolf Lord Zaaro had a premonition that the flying ball was very bad, he was already exhausted and had completely lost the strength and fighting spirit to deal with it.The next moment, Zaaro was sucked into the Poké Ball along with the light.Beep beep beep...The Poké Ball immediately fell to the ground and began to shake left and right. The button in the middle was also flashing and making a "beep beep beep" sound."The Wolf Lord Zaaro was collected in this ball?""How did he do this... Is this also the Doctor's Art?""Oh my God, an Art that can trap the Wolf Lord... What kind of monster is the Doctor of Rhodes Island..."Everyone nearby was concentrating on the red and white Poké Ball on the ground.Jia Wei also held his breath and stared at the shaking Poké Ball. It was also his first time trying to capture the "Wolf Lord," so he was inevitably a little nervous.If the Wolf Lord does not surrender to him, he may escape from the Poké Ball again...Beep beep beep... Ding!After a while, the Poké Ball on the ground finally stopped shaking, and the flashing light went out."Great!"Jiawei immediately ran over and raised the Poké Ball above his head, announcing loudly."I have captured the Wolf Lord!""Doctor!? What did you say?""You said... captured... the Wolf Lord?"The Doctor's words once again made everyone nearby explode.Not control and suppressed... but capture!?Especially those who understood the nature of the Wolf Lord, such as Texas and Bernardo. They felt their heads buzzing after hearing Jiawei's words "capture the Wolf Lord"...Texas had to bite the bullet and leave Lungmen and return to Siracusa because she was afraid of the power of the Wolf Lord.Bernardo, the leader of the Bellone family, was once the "fang" chosen by Zaaro, the Lord of the Wolf.

Facing Zaaro, he could only be humble, servile, and subservient...

And from a certain perspective, the Wolf Lords are even the incarnation of "God" on the land of Siracusa. This immortal existence was actually captured by the people of Rhodes Island? How is this possible!?"Hmm? You don't seem to believe it very much, then let me show you."Jia Wei then threw the Poké Ball containing Zaaro out."It's decided to be you! Come out, Zaaro, the Lord of Wolves!"The Poké Ball then opened up and down, and as a ray of light flashed from it, a huge black wolf appeared in front of everyone."Hmm? I'm out... The world in this ball is really wonderful..."After Zaaro came out of the Poké Ball, he looked around with some doubts, but when he found Jia Wei behind him, he immediately calmed down..."Doctor..."When the people nearby saw Wolf Lord Zaaro being summoned by the Doctor, their faces showed surprise again.Jiawei smiled and reached out to touch Zaaro's back."Wolf Lord Zaaro, from today on, you are my dog."At this time, Zaaro had already discovered that the ability mastered by Dr. Rhodes Island in front of him had completely exceeded his expectations... Facing this kind of opponent, he could not defeat him at all, nor could he escape.Even though he had the powerful ability of immortality, the opponent had various ways to deal with him...In this case, there was only one thing to do next..."Doctor, I have to admit that you are stronger now. I choose to be loyal to you...""Hmm, very good!"
