Dio remembered that he once saw the Marvel and DC leaderboard for the richest character in both universes.
Among them, within the top three were Bruce Wayne, at number three with assets approximately at $80 billion.
Tony was coming second with assets approximately at $100 billion, and at the top of the top was King of Wakanda, T’challa the Black Panther, with assets approximately at $90,7 trillion!
It could be said that T’challa dominated both universes in terms of monetary power!
T’challa’s massive wealth was thanks to the Vibranium mine, which was the treasure of Wakanda itself!
With over 10.000 tons of Vibranium reserve, Wakanda most definitely became the richest country in the world! So, Dio really disliked these people with a silver spoon as he was jealous inside.
Dio was thinking of opening his branch of Dio’s Fantasy Restaurant here to squeeze out their money. But then he noticed that Princess Shuri kept following him from afar and watched him from the distance.
Dio knew that Shuri should have realised that Dio was the one who stole their Vibranium a few years back!
He didn’t know how they figured it out, but it could be when he cut the Vibranium Claw with [Reaper’s Gaze]!
So, he absolutely couldn’t take out [Reaper’s Gaze] here no matter what!
There was also a chance that Tony had mentioned that Dio’s weapon was indeed made of Vibranium!
But then again, Dio didn’t want to think about this as he wouldn’t know what to do if Shuri didn’t make any move to confront him about it!
. . . . . . . . .
In the afternoon, Dio and Wanda were watching some Netflix shows while Wanda suddenly got off-topic.
“What did you do to the Princess?”
“What do you mean? What is going on?” Dio asked confusedly.
“Did you two know each other before?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about!” Dio said defensively.
“Well, why is she always following you around like a stalker! Did you ever ..” Wanda wanted to say something but refrain from doing so as she trusted Dio and still did.
“I don’t know, honestly, but it may be because I am too handsome!” Dio said while laughing it off.
“Good, I would like it to stay that way!” Wanda said as she leaned on Dio’s chest.
“Well, this is not the first time. Every time I walk among the crowds, every talent scouts was handing me their cards, saying that they would make me a star!” Dio said shamelessly.
Wanda was thrown off by Dio’s narcissism, but she knew that Dio should have never come to such a secluded country before!
After all, Princess Shuri was at the age where she found the opposite gender fascinating!
Realizing Wanda no longer asked any question, Dio smiled and continued cuddling with Wanda contently.
But suddenly, the door was opened, and Dio saw Shuri standing by the door surprisedly. “Ah, sorry! I got the wrong room!” Shuri said as she immediately closed the door and hurried away.
“Didn’t you lock the door when you walked in?” Dio asked Wanda awkwardly.
“Why would I do that when we originally just want to watch a movie?” Wanda said defensively.
“Sure, it’s my fault. Next time I will make sure the door is locked!” Dio said with a smile on his face.
But Wanda was already embarrassed, so she threw Dio out of her room with her power and locked the door.
“You have to explain that to her and apologize! I don’t want to hear your excuse!” Wanda said from inside the room.
Dio was confused as he didn’t understand what he needed to explain to Shuri. After all, she was the one who barged in inside the room anyway.
Dio also didn’t believe Wakanda to be rather ignorant and didn’t give any sex education to their people. Nonetheless, he had to make sure that Wanda was happy.
So, he searched for Shuri, and after asking around, he found out that Shuri was in the lab.
Dio knocked on the lab’s door, and after hearing no answer what so ever, Dio opened the door. He then saw that Shuri was so immersed on her research while wearing a headphone.
Dio then walked over and tapped Shuri’s shoulder to gain her attention.
“What are you doing here?” Shuri said surprisedly.
“I already knocked on the door, but apparently, you are too immersed in your work!” Dio said with a smirk on his face.
“But that is not why I am here. Apparently, you are walking at the wrong time, and Wanda wants me to apologize for having you see our private time.” Dio said awkwardly.
“Well, it doesn’t matter, really. I only saw you guys kissing. It was common here.” Shuri said calmly, although she was a little bit flustered.
“Well, nice knowing that Wakanda is not one of those countries that banned PDA. But may I ask why are you searching for me?” Dio said with a smile on his face.
Shuri was startled as Dio bluntly asked what she was doing.
“Mmm, My brother’s coronation will be scheduled soon, and I want to invite you to come and watch the ceremony,” Shuri said confidently. She was relieved to come up with a somewhat decent answer.
“I heard that King’s coronation was special here. It seems only the major tribes are qualified to attend the ceremony. Are we, outsiders, qualified to attend that too?” Dio asked curiously.
“Well, that might be the case, but there is no explicit rule stating that the outsiders aren’t allowed to observe the ceremony. But you may be right; I will discuss this with T’challa and mother.” Shuri said honestly.
“If by any means, we could go and observe the coronation, just come over and tell me,” Dio said while smiling warmly.
Shuri blushed and nodded her head. At first, he wanted to confront Dio about what he did in the past, but she lost her cool after seeing such an intimate moment. She never expected that things would be this complicated.
