Chapter 6: The Winner's Awakening
Amor works in the most promising "company" in Italy. He has a stable, high-paying job, younger brothers who respect trust him, and he even has a gentle and virtuous wife and lovely, sensible children at home.
From an ordinary person's perspective, Amor really has everything.
but…
He had always felt that he was missing something.
What is it…
Amor had forgotten it before, but today when he saw Li Qing, the "Stand User", he remembered it -
dream.
He wants to be a gangster star.
However, this dream was shattered when Amor officially joined the Passion organization:
Only those Stand users with super powers are qualified to become core members of the organization and challenge the cadre position.
And Amor is just an ordinary man.
However, as an ordinary person, Amor actually had two choices at that time:
First, go to Naples to find the organization's cadre Polpo and accept the entry test, which is said to have a 99% fatality rate. As long as he succeeds in the challenge, he can become a core member of the Passion organization as he wishes.
Second, he could directly utilize the expertise he acquired in other gangs and serve as a peripheral scavenger with a low status but high income and not too busy work.
Because of the fear of death, Amor gave up his dream and chose the second option.
So, he honestly received his salary, took his apprentice with him, and helped the organization deal with corpses day after day.
Until just now:
The bald "stand-in user" saw through his final plan and hit his arm firmly with a "positioning light ball".
After the white light ball hit him, a positioning mark glowing white immediately appeared on his right forearm.
Previous combat observations taught him:
Anyone who is marked with this white light will definitely not be able to escape the deadly high-speed attack of Li Qing's "Echo Strike".
If nothing unexpected happens, today will be the day he dies.
"Oh shit…"
Amor stared at the white light mark on his right arm and roared with gnashing teeth:
"I joined the gang to become a gangster superstar, not to come here to carry corpses!"
"I have spent half my life doing nothing, and in the end..."
"Do you want me to die as a minion?!"
At this moment, a raging fire burned in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Amor suddenly stretched out his left hand that was not marked by the light ball, and quickly pulled out an extremely sharp dagger from his waist.
"What do you want to do?"
For the first time, a ripple appeared on Li Qingfeng's calm expression.
"Hahaha…"
Amor was laughing wildly:
"Baldy, I thought you were just an idiot with stand abilities but no tactical sense."
"I didn't expect you to behave so unexpectedly."
"Very good, very good..."
"This is the battle I long for, this is the life I long for!"
"So…"
Amor held the dagger tightly and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Just let me tell you, baldy!"
"If you want to achieve the glory of victory, you need not only brains but also awareness—"
“The awareness of daring to give up everything!”
As soon as the words fell.
There was a sudden whistling sound of a sharp weapon tearing through the air in his hand, and a metallic humming sound as the blade trembled slightly in the air vortex.
Li Qing never expected Amor's desperate counterattack.
When the "Heavenly Sound Wave" hit Amor, he had subconsciously activated the second stage of the "Echo Strike" ability. At this moment, he was rushing towards the positioning mark at a speed that he could not stop.
Then, Li Qing finally understood what Amor had done:
He cut off his hand.
He exerted all his strength and used the fastest speed to cut off his right forearm, which was marked with a white light, at the root.
Amor's blade was so fast that the right forearm was separated from his body in an instant.
And then…
Amid the splattering blood, all the force of Li Qing's "Echo Strike" hit the broken arm before it fell to the ground.
Because the force of the "Echo Slam" sprint was so strong, he even crashed into the wall of the alley next to him with his broken arm that was smashed into mud by his attack.
Finally, Li Qing turned around in a hurry, only to be met head-on with the dark muzzle of the gun in Amor's hand pointing firmly at his forehead.
The muzzle of the gun was already locked on his head. In this situation, his ability to dodge bullets by predicting the direction of the muzzle was completely useless.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Amor endured the pain of a broken arm and tried his best to steady the pistol he was holding tightly:
"really…"
"I was right!"
"Your charge ability is not targeting a person, but the marking pattern!"
"Just cut off the marked part, and you'll stupidly run headfirst into that broken arm!"
"Now, your 'stand ability' has entered 'rest time'."
"We are now five or six meters apart. I can definitely empty my magazine before you rush over!"
"Your speed is limited. Even if you have a keen sense, how many bullets can you dodge?"
"And you..."
Amor glanced at the health bar above Li Qing's head, which only had 48% left:
"With less than half of your health, how many shots can I block for you?"
Li Qing remained silent, seemingly in despair.
Seeing this, Amor's usually calm eyes finally burst into an irrepressible excitement and enthusiasm:
“Boss, boss…did you see that?!”
"I, Amor, defeated the Stand User with my mortal body!"
"I...I have the ability to enter the core of the organization and become a cadre of Passion!"
Amor used the world rule of "narration time stop" to express his ambitions, but...
What responded to him was Li Qing's extremely calm voice:
"Amor, your move is indeed unexpected."
"but…"
"But what?!"
Amor had a bad feeling.
This instinctive fear reminded him of his former self, the middle-aged gangster who was mediocre and afraid of death.
The feeling made him sick.
Therefore, Amor roared in disbelief:
"My gun won't miss!"
"Even if I lose an arm, even if I endure great pain, my gun will not miss!"
"hehe."
Li Qing smiled without commenting, and continued:
"but…"
"Everything you just said is based on the premise that my skill is on cooldown and I have no other means of long-range attack."
"What?!"
Amor's heart was stirred again:
"Could it be that you have other 'stand abilities'?"
"No, I didn't."
Li Qing shook his head honestly:
Just after killing those four men in black, the experience bar on his system interface did increase a lot.
However, the experience contributed by the four men in black only brought his experience bar close to full, but it was still not enough for him to reach level two and gain new skill points.
"but…"
Li Qing smiled slightly, and took out a gun from his hand like a magic trick:
"Amor."
He pointed the gun at Amor's distorted face and said with a smile:
"Before I went downstairs, I grabbed some toys from your little brother."
