“I don’t like the title they gave me. I prefer a doctor or a surgeon that sever a tumour inside a city!” Dio said with a smile on his face.
“So, you saw Hell’s Kitchen as a tumour?” Mrs. Gao said sarcastically. But Dio smirked as he didn’t really want to clean Hell’s Kitchen immediately. He preferred to make Hell’s Kitchen his hunting ground.
“No, I am keen to the idea of cutting sever the tumour partially and let them grow back to sever it another day.” Dio said with a smirk on his face.
“Arrogant bastard!” Mrs Gao said as she suddenly flung a pen on top of the table directly towards Dio’s eyes, but it clearly didn’t work as Dio instantly catch the pen in the air.
“You are quite fast for an old lady,” Dio indifferently said as he put the pen back on the table.
“Who the fuck are you? Who sent you here?” Mrs. Gao said coldly.
“Isn’t it customary to introduce yourself before asking for someone else’s name?” Dio said teasingly. He went ahead and got himself comfortable on the chair as he wanted to stay for quite a while. The old woman suddenly laughed as she never saw someone acting like Dio in front of her and thus she suddenly felt interested in the young man in front of her.
“My name is Gao. I am one of the five fingers of the Hand. I don’t know if you ever heard of our organisation, but that is my introduction for you.” Mrs. Gao said with a smile on her face.
Dio was quite surprised to hear Mrs. Gao’s identity as he wasn’t quite knowledgeable about the Hand in his previous life. However, he knew that the Hand was an assassin group based in Japan and was the mortal enemy of Daredevil. It seemed the Five Fingers was the leader group of this assassin organisation.
As for the identity of the other leader, Dio didn’t care about it. However, he vividly remembered that his friends brought him to a Marvel conference once and told him that the Hand’s black magic could even injure the Ghost Rider and suddenly developed an interest in the Hand’s ability.
“I’ve heard of it, but I didn’t know much about it. I think I’ve heard that the Hand has some kind of Dark Magic, and I am quite interested to see what it is.” Dio said interestedly. But unfortunately, Mrs. Gao perceived it as a taunt and a challenge as she suddenly got up and flung everything in her vicinity towarded Dio and pulled out a sword, ready to attack Dio.
Dio didn’t expect this sudden attack, but it didn’t faze him. He summoned [White Album}, and it instantly covered his body from Mrs. Gao’s attack. He just sat on his seat and let Mrs. Gao attack him with everything she got until she got tired.
She attacked Dio relentlessly with everything she got, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t penetrate Dio’s white armour. She was perplexed by this situation as this no longer seemed like a fight at all and more like a test of whether she could scratch Dio’s armour or not, that apparently she failed on!
Seeing that none of her attacks landed, Mrs. Gao fiercely blinked as she tried to attack Dio mentally. However, as she tried to invade Dio’s mind, her nose started to bleed. She screamed while taking a step back as she clutched her head in pain.
Dio smirked behind the ice armour as he laughed at Mrs. Gao for thinking of using a psychic attack against him. Dio had a mental fortitude that not even the Ancient One could break! So, who did this woman think she was to attack him with a psychic attack? Since he knew that the woman in front of him was useless right now, he got up from his seat.
“What’s the deal with you? How did you have such a strong mental fortitude!?” Mrs. Gao shouted while still clutching her head.
Dio looked at Mrs. Gao disinterestedly like some villain in a horror movie. “How old are you again? Being a criminal, it’s basic knowledge there’s no room for a surprise once you start your diabolical plan. Don’t you think it’s too boring to expect everything would always go your way?” Dio said coldly.
Mrs. Gao wasn’t sure she understood what Dio was saying, but it was clear that it wasn’t something good about her! And so, with her survival instinct kicking in, she tried to look for a way to escape, but with her 400 years of experience, she immediately understood that she couldn’t get away, at least not from this man! Even so, she just had to try! And so, she gathered her power on her palm and immediately created a strong wind to push Dio away from her as she immediately jumped off from the window of the room.
“Don’t do that!” Dio said annoyedly, but he didn’t do anything to stop Mrs. Gao.
On the other hand, Mrs. Gao that successfully jumped off the second-floor window was frustrated as she thought that Dio was chasing after her. She wanted to get away as soon as possible, so she ran away from the factory as soon as possible. But after a few seconds, she didn’t hear any sound around where she jumped off earlier.
Was the window too high from the ground that the man chose not to chase her by jumping out the window too? She was confused as she thought that the man was chasing after her for sure, but she seemed to be off the mark!
But suddenly, she was hurled into the sky and fell to the ground again, but this time, she was falling a few miles from the ground!
She screamed as she was falling. Anyone who went throught the same thing would do the same, and she was no exception! She soon splatted on the ground as her scream was no longer heard eventually. Meanwhile, Dio was floating in the air near the factory while looking down at Mrs. Gao on the ground.
“Didn’t I say that you aren’t allowed to do that? People just never listen.” Dio said while shaking his head.
