"Tell me, how did you end up here? Aren't you one of Tserriednich's Private Soldiers?"
Dio swallowed his food, picked up a bottle of water to rinse his mouth, and asked with a puzzled look.
He remembered only two things about Bokushin: she was a [Specialization] user, and she was one of that pervert Fourth Prince Tserriednich's Private Soldiers.
Though her loyalty as a so-called Private Soldier was nothing much, practically nonexistent.
Back in Yorknew City, he had taken the initiative to learn a little about her because he had figured he would run into her again sooner or later.
But who could have known something as absurdly powerful as the [Arrowhead Fragment] would turn up later? With his current strength, he had no need to worry about some perverted Fourth Prince.
If Tserriednich crossed him, Dio would decisively go assassinate him, but that was a matter for later.
A sudden flicker crossed Bokushin's nearly depressed eyes, and an inexplicable anger rose from the bottom of her heart. He actually had the nerve to ask her that?
She had just puffed out her chest and snorted when she caught sight of Dio's menacingly friendly smile. She immediately rephrased her words and obediently said, "I... needed money. A Private Soldier's salary wasn't enough for me to live out the rest of my life in peace."
"Money? How much?"
Dio's hands paused, and he asked with a slightly guilty conscience.
"Two million Jenny. Added to what I had left, it would have bought me a house that had changed hands several times in Newdri's outer city..."
Bokushin spoke expressionlessly. By now, she had already accepted having been scammed by Dio back then.
