"How can there be such a big spider on the plane?!"
Accompanying the man's voice, other passengers also saw a spider as large as a palm, crawling on Bruce's neck.
It was brightly colored, a typical sign of being highly venomous.
"You, don't come near me!!!!" The female passenger sitting on Bruce's other side instinctively stood up after seeing such a huge, venomous spider.
She then swung the handbag in her hand, aiming for Bruce's neck.
But unexpectedly, not only did she miss the spider, she instead provoked its aggression.
In a flash, the spider crawled onto Bruce's face.
"You, you idiot woman!"
Bruce was extremely nervous, not even daring to breathe.
Then, he remembered Giorno's words from earlier, struggling for a moment in his mind.
He still chose his own life.
He slowly pulled out a wallet from his body and threw it in Father Pucci's direction.
"Here, take it back! Quickly tell God to lift the curse… Oh, shit! It's crawling towards my sexy lips!"
The spider's bristles brushed against his skin, giving him goosebumps all over.
Father Pucci was also helpless about this, making a cross sign in front of him, "I'm not sure what happened, so, I'm sorry…"
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing the Father's words, Bruce's last shred of hope vanished.
"..."
After a brief silence, Bruce began to give up on himself.
"You beast, if I die, you won't have an easy time either!"
As he spoke, he reached out to swat at the spider, and the spider also bit down on Bruce's cheek.
Seeing this, Trish quickly tugged on Giorno's sleeve, signaling him not to overdo it.
"Then the punishment ends here." Giorno smiled, and then deactivated Gold Experience's ability.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Bruce let out a scream, but it wasn't from being bitten by the spider.
Instead, his palm was pierced by a sharp nail.
The originally hideous spider had now transformed into a spider-shaped brooch.
It was even stained with traces of blood.
Father Pucci looked at the brooch thoughtfully.
A few hours later, the plane landed smoothly.
Trish walked slowly off the plane, arm in arm with Giorno.
"Where are we going now?" Trish asked.
They hadn't taken this flight to deal with organizational matters.
Rather, yesterday, Giorno had a sudden whim and wanted to go to a place called Cape Canaveral.
He couldn't give a reason, he just simply wanted to go to this place.
Helplessly, Trish had no choice but to accompany him on this impulsive trip.
After all, Giorno was her boss and lover.
"Let's find a place to stay in a nearby town first. I have a feeling someone will come looking for us very soon."
"Please wait a moment."
Just as Giorno finished speaking, a man's voice came from behind him.
"You are, the Father from the plane earlier?" Giorno looked at Father Pucci with some surprise.
"Hoo hoo—"
"I finally caught up with you. Thank you for helping me find my wallet on the plane earlier, otherwise I would have been sleeping on the streets tonight." Father Pucci said with a smile.
"As a thank you, let me treat you to a meal. I happen to know a restaurant nearby with good food."
"In that case, we would be honored. Please lead the way, Father."
"Alright!"
Father Pucci led the way, while Giorno, arm in arm with Trish, whispered, "This guy should be a Stand User…"
When he used his Stand ability on Bruce on the plane, he could clearly see that the latter's fingernails were growing at an abnormally fast rate, almost two centimeters in a single growth.
Hearing this, Trish also nodded, her Stand, Spice Girl, on alert inside her.
Once attacked, she would soften her body.
Soon, the three arrived at a typical Italian-style restaurant.
The restaurant's decor was very magnificent, captivating everyone at first glance, including Trish.
Due to the time, besides them, there was only one other table of guests in the restaurant.
It was an Italian man in plain clothes. From his habit of holding a knife and fork and the calluses on his tiger's mouth, it was not difficult to tell that this man was also a chef.
He was currently gently shaking his head at the pasta in front of him.
"Although the taste is not bad, I always feel like something is missing. What exactly is it?"
"Well then, you keep thinking. I'll go attend to the other guests first."
Sitting opposite the man was the owner of the restaurant. He walked up to the group, smiling as he asked, "What would you guests like to eat?"
"Hmm… I'll have a squid ink pasta. What about you two?" Father Pucci turned his head and looked at Giorno and his wife.
"I'll have an octopus salad. As for Trish, is crab roe pasta alright?"
Giorno looked at Trish, asking for her opinion.
"Mm."
After seeing Trish nod, the owner and head chef returned to the restaurant's kitchen.
The three also took this opportunity to find a window seat and sat down.
"Father, why did you come here?" Giorno initiated the conversation.
"Because of some work-related reasons, I suppose. What about you two? This doesn't seem like a place for newlyweds to honeymoon."
"It's also because of some work-related reasons."
Both of them, with great understanding, concealed their identities from each other.
Soon, the three's food was served one after another.
And just then, the man at the table behind them suddenly shouted:
"I know it!!!"
