"Since that's the case, I'll leave things to you from now on."
Lin Tian stood in front of a middle-aged man of about 49, instructing him with a solemn expression.
"I understand, sir."
Although the middle-aged man's eyes held regret, he accepted Lin Tian's charge with unwavering determination.
Their interactions over the past few days had made him understand that Lin Tian was a true leader capable of guiding this country forward. But even though Lin Tian's ideas were so advanced, and he occasionally dropped profound statements that benefited him greatly, he simply refused to stay.
However, the middle-aged man also knew that Lin Tian was no ordinary mortal. From the way he had single-handedly repelled the offending foreign armies, it was clear that Lin Tian was not from their world.
"Mm. Take this. Open it after I've left. You will understand then."
Lin Tian took out a cloth-wrapped object and handed it to the middle-aged man. This was the last thing he could do for this country. The road ahead, they would have to walk themselves.
"The future of this country is in your hands."
As he spoke, Lin Tian's entire body suddenly vanished on the spot, right before the middle-aged man's eyes.
"Mr. Lin..."
Witnessing this miraculous scene, the middle-aged man instantly confirmed his previous thoughts: Lin Tian was indeed not of this world.
"Rest assured. Since you have placed your faith in me, I, Sun, will definitely not fail your trust!"
The middle-aged man gave a deep, respectful bow toward the spot where Lin Tian had disappeared. Then, he slowly unwrapped the cloth-covered object.
"This! This is!"
Seeing the paper wrapped inside the cloth, the middle-aged man began to inspect it with a serious expression. But just one-third of the way through, his pupils contracted violently, as if he had seen something utterly astonishing.
The middle-aged man gravely wrapped the paper back up in the cloth and placed it over his heart. He first bowed again toward the place Lin Tian had vanished, then turned and walked out of the room.
"Qingling, call Ma Xiang, Zhixin, and the others. We need to hold an emergency meeting!"
...
With a flash, Lin Tian reappeared at the Ubuyashiki estate.
"Lin Tian!"
Seeing Lin Tian's figure appear, Mitsuri Kanroji, who had been waiting nearby, immediately rushed to his side, asking with concern about his experiences over the past few days.
"It was nothing, I just went to take care of a small matter."
Lin Tian didn't explain his whereabouts. He simply brushed Mitsuri Kanroji off with the casual phrase "a small matter."
Sensing that Lin Tian didn't want to elaborate, Mitsuri Kanroji didn't press him. She just gently hugged Lin Tian, savoring this time that belonged only to the two of them.
"Mitsuri, did you have fun at the meeting?"
"I did! It's been so long since I've seen everyone!"
Mitsuri Kanroji started happily, but her smile gradually faded.
"Everyone has their own lives now. We'll probably have fewer and fewer meetings in the future."
"Mmph!"
Seeing Mitsuri Kanroji's crestfallen look, Lin Tian directly stopped her small mouth.
After a long time, knowing Mitsuri Kanroji was running out of air, Lin Tian finally let her go.
"You'll still have me, Shinobu, and the others with you in the future. Don't be sad."
"Mmm"
Mitsuri Kanroji nodded, her face crimson. She didn't expect Lin Tian to suddenly kiss her. It was so embarrassing!
"Let's go. We'll go find Shinobu and the others."
Saying that, Lin Tian directly took Mitsuri Kanroji's small hand and walked toward the Butterfly Mansion.

[JOJO: Everyone, we've arrived at DIO's lair. Anyone want to watch?]
[Shinobu Who Loves Her Sister: You found DIO already? That fast?]
[God's Tongue: It's only been less than three weeks since Jotaro joined the group, right? You found DIO already?]
[Silly Girl: The original story took fifty days. Twenty-something days is already very fast.]
[JOJO: Three weeks? It's already been a month here.]
[Silly Girl: A month?]
[Hellish Blizzard: Is the time flow different between worlds?]
[Her Highness Ai: What's the big deal? Isn't the time flow in my world even more exaggerated?]
[God's Tongue: No, the Conan world's time can't be measured by common sense. Otherwise, one person dying every day is too terrifying.]
[Sister Looking for Her Brother: Forget that, we're fighting DIO! I want to join!]
[Galactic Bat Hero: Me too! I want to see Za Warudo!]
[Wandering the Mortal Realm: Time stop? It is indeed a powerful ability, even if it's only for a few seconds.]
[I Am Just a Passerby: Doesn't seem that hard? My Wind Eagle Armor has a move called Zen Meditation Seal, which can stop time.]
[I Love Frying Pans: Anyone want an item that can control time? Only ten... no, only five sheep!]
[Wandering the Mortal Realm: ...]
[Crash Specialist: A time-stop machine for only five sheep? That cheap?]
[Xiao Hei: Time stop, huh? I seem to be able to do that within my domain too.]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: DIO, huh. He barely counts as strong, I guess. Too bad his vigilance isn't good enough.]
[Lord of the World: Oh! BlackZetsuTigerClawsHeart.JPG]
[Silly Girl: BlackZetsuTigerClawsHeart.JPG]
[I Am Just a Passerby: BlackZetsuTigerClawsHeart.JPG]
[Sister Looking for Her Brother: BlackZetsuTigerClawsHeartAndGivesALike.JPG]
[Galactic Bat Hero: Following! BlackZetsuTigerClawsHeartAndGivesALike.JPG]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: ... That's enough, you guys! We're never getting past this meme, are we!]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: Besides, I've already sealed Black Zetsu! What happens in the future has already changed!]
[Silly Girl: Seems Black Zetsu is really hard to kill. Even Madara could only seal him.]
[Lord of the World: I was always confused. Why did Madara Uchiha, even as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, still get tiger-clawed-in-the-heart by Black Zetsu? That Jinchuriki is too fragile.]
[Sister Looking for Her Brother: Madara, be honest. Did you take a bribe from the director back then to intentionally let Black Zetsu impale you?]
[Galactic Bat Hero: Oh, so that's how it was. No wonder he went offline so easily. Seems no one can escape the candy of capitalism]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: That's enough! What bribe from the director? What candy of capitalism? What is all this?!]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: How should I know how my past self was reverse-killed by a mere Black Zetsu! That guy Black Zetsu must have taken advantage of my trust in him and struck when I was weakest!]
[Silly Girl: M-hm, everything you say is correct.]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: I'll ******!!]
[I Am Just a Passerby: How pitiful. Even the great Madara Uchiha is being played with in the palms of a few women. If word of this got out, I don't know how many jaws would drop.]
[JOJO: Yare yare. So, does anyone want to come watch?]
[Crash Specialist: Oh yeah. We started by talking about watching DIO get beaten, how did the topic stray so far?]
[I Am Just a Passerby: How can I miss out on a good show? Count me in.]
[Galactic Bat Hero: I wanna go! I wanna go!]
[Sister Looking for Her Brother: I'm going! I'm about to puke from flying over the sea these past few days. Inazuma is too far from Sumeru!]
[Lord of the World: I'm also curious what the real-life DIO looks like. He single-handedly contributed so many famous scenes!]
[Silly Girl: I want to go too! But I'm busy managing the flow between the two worlds these days, so I'll have to regretfully pass.]
[Flat Face: I'm in the group owner's world, and it seems dangerous there, so I won't go.]
[Emperor Through the Ages: I plan to let Fusu go see. He's busy studying the Analects all day. It's a good chance for him to observe.]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: I'll pass too. I just had a fight with Hashirama yesterday, still haven't recovered.]
[Silly Girl: Injured? You shouldn't be. Madara, didn't you use points to enhance yourself?]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: I enhanced... ninjutsu. Didn't enhance my body much. I originally planned to have a true man's battle with Hashirama, but during the final clash, that guy saw my Susanoo was a bit bigger than before, and just shamelessly popped out two clones.]
[Hellish Blizzard: That still shouldn't be enough, right?]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: And then there were three Top Transformed Buddhas.]
[Hellish Blizzard: ...]
[Silly Girl: That's just pitiful.]
[God's Tongue: Three Top Transformed Buddhas! How much chakra must that take!]
[Crash Specialist: I'll sit this one out. Doesn't seem like I'm needed.]
[Platelet: I really want to go! But I still have work, so I can't]
[Wandering the Mortal Realm: I'm very curious... if I get pierced by that Arrow, will I awaken a Stand?]
[Super True Newbie: Sorry! About to challenge the Fuchsia Gym, can't go.]
[Hellish Blizzard: I'll go check it out too. I also happen to want to try that Arrow.]
[Lord of the World: The Arrow, huh. I wonder if it will have any effect on me?]
