The next morning, Jodio Joestar ate the exact same bread and drank the same milk as the night before, then hurriedly packed his luggage, eager to leave this place.
Jean Pierre Polnareff felt the exact same way.
Having suffered severe psychological pollution, the two of them were desperate to get out of here.
Their next destination was Varanasi in the White Elephant Country, and they needed to reach it within two days.
Gathering in front of the Calcutta Grand Hotel, Joseph Joestar glanced at the map and said to the others:
"Our time is very tight, so we don't have any extra time to waste here!"
"Next, we need to take a vehicle to our next stop, Varanasi, and from there make a detour to Karachi in neighboring Pakistan!"
"The vehicle for this leg of our journey is a Toyota off-road vehicle provided by the White Elephant Country branch of the SPW Foundation!"
"However, since there are quite a few of us, one car won't be enough, and with all the luggage as well, we'll need to split up into two cars."
"Let's discuss how we're going to arrange the seating now!"
Hearing this, the others began to ponder, though there was one exception.
Jean Pierre Polnareff, who had severe germ phobia and had already endured enough, didn't want to stay here for even another second.
He simply grabbed his luggage, casually picked one of the cars, and said offhandedly:
"As long as there's transport, it doesn't matter who I ride with. You're all good people anyway."
"Right now, my only wish is to get out of this place quickly."
"A bizarre place like this is completely incompatible with someone who loves cleanliness as much as I do, and I simply can't stand it anymore."
With that, Polnareff put his luggage away and waited inside one of the cars.
Seeing that Polnareff had taken the initiative and chosen a car first, the remaining five people began to discuss.
After a unanimous discussion, they finally decided that Joseph Joestar, Jodio Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, and Kakyoin would ride in one car.
Then, to provide an external brain for the rather reckless Polnareff, Mohammed Avdol decided to drive in the other car with him.
With the travel plan settled, the group drove off in their respective vehicles.
After they left, the windows of a battered little car hidden in the shadows of a nearby alley quietly rolled up.
Inside the car, a very pretty woman had a gleam of hatred in her eyes, and she said through gritted teeth:
"Are they the ones who killed Mr. Hol Horse?"
"Simply unforgivable!"
"Since they destroyed my only true love, I'll make sure they die without a burial place."
At that moment, a long-haired man sitting next to the woman chewed his gum and said:
"Since our targets are confirmed, let's make our move!"
"The three batches of Stand Users that Dio-san sent previously all fell at their hands."
"So this time, we need to change our strategy and defeat them one by one!"
"Among the three of us here, I am undoubtedly the strongest!"
"Besides, my Stand's ability is more suitable than yours!"
"Then I'll handle the four people in the first car!"
"The two people in the remaining car will be up to you two to resolve!"
Hearing this, a wretched-looking man in the front passenger seat with thick arms, but a short body and lower limbs, gave a crafty laugh and said:
"Well, in that case, I gladly accept!"
"I'll leave the tough ones to Rubber Soul!"
"The remaining two will be handled by Miss Empress and me!"
"My hands are itching right now anyway, and I can't wait to race against them!"
"When the time comes, on the racetrack, I'll send them straight to the final stop in hell!"
With that, the wretched man rolled up his window, started the car, and drove away.
These three were none of the others, but the fourth batch of Stand Users sent by Dio to hunt down the Joestar group.
They were Rubber Soul, the user of Yellow Temperance; Empress, the user of Empress; and ZZ, the user of Wheel of Fortune!
Since three batches of Stand Users had already been lost, this time when Dio sent them, he did not let them act rashly.
Dio wanted them to plan before acting, and preferably defeat the Joestar group one by one, killing them on the road to Egypt.
Of course, Jodio Joestar and his companions were still completely unaware of this plan.
Yet given their full-strength lineup, these small fries posed no threat to them at all.
Along the way, Joseph drove steadily, while Mohammed Avdol and Polnareff followed closely behind the car carrying Jodio Joestar and the others!
Faced with a journey that was peaceful and calm for once, Polnareff found it quite novel.
Having escaped the sea of suffering, his mood improved, and without realizing it, he jinxed himself:
"Ah, this is so much better. I've finally left that terrifying place."
"If only things could stay like this, continuing this smooth search and finding Dio Brando and that damned J. Geil in the shortest time possible!"
"When that time comes, I'll settle all my old and new grudges together. I must completely clear the bloody vengeance I carry and the humiliation I suffered before!"
Though Mohammed Avdol beside him did not understand what sea of suffering Polnareff was talking about, he knew that Polnareff's sister had been murdered by J. Geil. To prevent Polnareff from letting his hot blood cloud his judgment, Avdol advised him:
"You will definitely have your revenge! But we must plan this carefully and never act on impulse!"
"There are many Stand Users under Dio Brando, so we must be extremely careful!"
Hearing this, Polnareff suddenly fell silent. After two minutes, he spoke in a calm tone:
"Thank you, Avdol!"
"But avenging my sister is my own affair, and I will never drag you into it!"
"However, before I meet that guy, I will definitely reach our destination safely."
"Until I've had my revenge, I will never die!"
Seeing Polnareff like this, Mohammed Avdol's expression tightened!
Seeing the situation, he wanted to say something, but in the end, he opened his mouth and said nothing.
Perhaps the topic was too heavy, and the atmosphere inside the car suddenly grew gloomy.
The two of them sat in silence without saying another word, letting the car drive quietly along the road.
This situation continued until, at a certain point, both Polnareff and Mohammed Avdol urgently needed to relieve themselves!
To take care of personal business, the two pulled over to the roadside, stopped the car, and found a deserted spot to take care of it.
Little did they know that because of this, danger was about to strike.
ZZ, who had been tailing the two of them all along, noticed they had fallen behind and deliberately detrained ahead to wait at the fork in the road!
After Joseph Joestar and the others passed by, ZZ stepped out of his car and deliberately swapped the positions of the road signs.
Then he got back into the car, drove quickly, and dropped Empress off halfway back along the route!
As for Rubber Soul, because his target was different, he didn't act with them at all!
With the fishhook set, ZZ drove back, preparing to ambush Polnareff and Avdol!
