"Given their intelligence, we shouldn't be discovered anytime soon."
Kai Ishida watched the police searching other buildings outside the window, slightly relieved.
But at that moment, Weather behind him suddenly took on a combat stance.
"What do you know about my past?" Weather's expression was somewhat unnatural, and his Stand, Weather Forecast, had already materialized behind him, gradually converting the surrounding environment to pure oxygen.
He then used his ability to create three spacesuits for breathing, putting them on the three of them.
He had no choice; after seeing the power and speed Kai Ishida displayed, he had to do it to be safe.
"Hey, hey, hey, I thought we had already reached a consensus…" Kai Ishida tried to ingratiate himself, but when he saw Weather's serious expression, he sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Alright, alright, actually, I don't know much about your past. I just know that this matter involves a murder case from decades ago."
"Weather, your crime for imprisonment was attempted murder, right?"
"Mm." Weather Forecast nodded. Although he couldn't remember who he wanted to kill, that was indeed the crime for which he was imprisoned.
"Then there's no mistake. In the United States, intentional murder is punishable by life imprisonment or direct execution, but attempted murder only carries a fixed-term sentence of three to ten years. Yet you've been in this prison for almost twenty years. Don't you find that a bit strange?"
Weather Forecast fell into contemplation upon hearing this.
Anasui, who was beside him, also caught on to something. "Are you saying someone doesn't want Weather to be released?"
"Exactly." Kai Ishida nodded.
"Moreover, Father Pucci being able to steal your memory means he has the ability to steal your Stand as well. But he only stole your memory. Don't you find that strange?"
"Also, you must have noticed, a few days ago, a star-shaped birthmark suddenly appeared on your shoulder."
"Birthmark?" Anasui was startled by this and then looked at Weather's body.
Weather didn't hide it and directly took off his shirt.
Sure enough, there was a five-pointed star birthmark on his back shoulder.
"If I'm not mistaken, Jolyne also has a birthmark exactly like this one." Anasui said, and a different kind of emotion appeared in his eyes as he looked at Weather.
And upon seeing that look, Kai Ishida knew what he was thinking even with his eyes closed.
"Don't even think about it. He's not your future brother-in-law."
"Eh?! He's not?" Anasui also retracted his gaze upon hearing this.
"That star birthmark is the mark of the Joestar Family. Jolyne Cujoh, Kujo Jotaro… anyone from the Joestar Family has this birthmark."
"However, you are an exception." Kai Ishida pointed at Weather's star-shaped birthmark and said, "This birthmark of yours appeared out of nowhere recently; it wasn't something you were born with. This rules out the possibility of you being an illegitimate child of the Joestar Family. And the time the birthmark appeared, if I'm not mistaken, should be the night Jolyne Cujoh and I confronted Father Pucci."
"You're right," Weather said faintly.
The strict lockdown of the isolation ward had a huge impact; even when he and Anasui were still in their hospital beds, they heard about it.
And that very night, he felt a burning sensation on his shoulder, and then such a birthmark appeared.
"So what? What does that mean?" Anasui, listening nearby, was only half-understanding.
"It means that he and Father Pucci have the same blood flowing in their bodies, because only close relatives will bear the same destiny!"
At these words, the room instantly fell silent.
Anasui looked at Weather, his mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't say anything.
The enemy he was desperately chasing turned out to be his own brother?
Anyone would find that hard to accept.
But Weather's reaction was somewhat unexpected to Anasui; he simply nodded.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he dispersed the pure oxygen that enveloped the three of them.
The spacesuits on the three of them were also removed.
"Although I haven't recovered my memories yet, my intuition tells me you're not wrong."
"Moreover, my heart doesn't seem to reject killing Father Pucci, my twin brother."
"I've decided to cooperate with you. What are your terms?"
Weather looked at Kai Ishida, the wariness in his eyes seemingly lessened considerably.
"Finally getting to the point, are we?" Kai Ishida smiled, then walked to the window sill.
It seemed like it was about to rain; the wind blowing in was exceptionally damp.
At this moment, Kai Ishida also said faintly, "I want you to help me seize Father Pucci's White Snake!"
"White Snake?!"
Seeing that Weather was still a bit confused, Kai Ishida turned around and explained, "White Snake has the ability to convert Stands into discs, and as Father Pucci's twin brother, you can also utilize Father Pucci's Stand by coming into contact with his body."
"When that time comes, I will create an opportunity for you."
"As for Father Pucci, who has lost his Stand, with your ability, it should be easy to deal with him, right?"
Upon hearing this, Weather merely pondered for a moment in his mind before agreeing to Kai Ishida's condition.
"I have no problem."
"Then, happy cooperation."
Time passed bit by bit. Soon, after the police searched the area without success, they concluded that Weather and Anasui had escaped to other areas and drove off in pursuit.
It wasn't until an hour later that an SUV pulled up downstairs.
Seeing this, Anasui was a bit puzzled. "How did they find this place?"
"Of course, it's because of this."
Kai Ishida took out a scarab-shaped pendant from his pocket and dangled it in front of Anasui.
"It has a tracking device from the SPW Foundation on it, which is why they were able to pinpoint our location so accurately."
"Is that so?"
Anasui nodded, becoming even more curious about the SPW Foundation.
Soon, the group went downstairs. A young man in an SPW uniform saw them and hurried over.
"This must be Mr. Kai Ishida, I presume. The car is ready. It's still quite a distance to Dr. Kujo Jotaro's location, so we should depart as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your trouble."
The group got into the car one after another, and then the engine started, and the SUV sped down the highway.
But Kai Ishida, sitting by the window, noticed something.
The black silhouette on the road sign on the side of the road had mysteriously disappeared!
"Has he already made contact with Father Pucci?" Kai Ishida's brows furrowed unconsciously.
