Chapter 17.2 : Mission

Looking at Ivan, who had managed to sneak such powerful explosives into Japan, Andropov couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems as though I underestimated you quite a bit, your stand ability could prove even more useful than I expected, Ivan," said Andropov as he looked at his comrade, causing the latter to shake his head.

Not long after Diana arrived in Russia, she realized that she could not do everything alone, as such, she needed some subordinates.

As Diana had more than enough raw fighting power herself, she needed those that could be even sneakier than herself, thus, she had targeted former agents of the KGB.

Andropov, who was currently a relatively high ranking member of the Russian military, became Diana's first target and subordinate in Russia.

Thankfully, things went exactly as Diana had expected, Andropov, as well as his stand, Warp Walker proved to be indispensable in Diana's Russian operations.

Hearing Andropov's words, which seemed to be praising him, Ivan couldn't help but shake his head.

"So, what do you want me to do right now?" asked Ivan as he looked at Andropov, who had just placed the target onto the ground.

"Use your stand on me before going out of Japan with the target, I still have something to do," said Andropov as he looked at Ivan, causing the latter to nod.

"A random person?" asked Ivan as he looked at Andropov, causing the latter to nod.

A moment later, a purple figure suddenly appeared behind Ivan, a moment later, the figure pointed its figure towards Andropov, causing a wave of purple light to fly towards him.

The moment the wave of purple light touched Andropov, the latter began changing, from his usual self, to an extremely average Japanese man.

"So how long can you keep this disguise up?" asked Andropov as he looked at Ivan.

"Unlike copying Lady Diana, this is quite easy for me to hold up, I should be able to do twelve hours," said Ivan, causing Andropov to smile.

"Twelve hours should be more than enough," mumbled Andropov before walking out of the room and leaving Ivan standing all alone with Haru, who was unconscious on the floor.

"Getting back to Russia without causing any suspicion will be a little tough," mumbled Ivan before falling into thought.

Although Ivan could transform Haru, that would do him no good, as the woman could very much prove to be an unstable variable that Ivan did not want to have to deal with in the slightest.

...

As he looked at the charred men, women and children, who were currently being carried out on stretchers and into ambulances, Arai Kenji, a police supervisor, couldn't help but want to jump in and help with the search in the rubble.

Even so, Kenji kept his calm and gritted his teeth and did not move in the slightest, he could not get involved in the search, he had to supervise it, he had to make sure that nothing went wrong, and that as many people as possible survived.

One by one, ambulance's came and went.

Although there were never more than five ambulances at the scene as they went out with patients that had been dug out from the rubble, Kenji knew that their true number was at least thirty or forty.

But even so, the ambulances weren't enough, as after a few minutes, a tiny line had former from those that were waiting for helping.

Of course, several paramedics were looking after the patients, making sure that they were stable and none of them died.

Finally though, two police officers approached Kenji, causing his heart to sink to his teeth.

"Have you made the estimate I asked you for?" asked Kenji, causing one of the two officers to nod before handing Kenji a report.

The moment Kenji's eyes glanced on the report, they suddenly became glued to two numbers, causing him to nearly drop it to the ground.

Approximated casualties : Over 110.

Confirmed Deaths : 17.

As he read those two numbers, Kenji couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach thinking about the monsters who would do such a thing.

By now, over a dozen volunteers had gathered around the rubble to help in the search.

...

'As expected, even after suffering from an explosion of this scale, it's still perfectly fine,' thought a young man as he looked at the golden arrow in his hand with a faint smile on his face.

Of course, the young man did not keep the arrow in his hand for long, as only a few moments after that, it had been hidden inside his clothes.

Only a few minutes after that, unbeknownst to the currently searching volunteers, their numbers had somehow dwindled by one.

...

As she sat down at a desk and listened to Andropov's works, a faint smile appeared on the face of Diana, who was currently playing with a small golden arrow in her hands.

"Were there any survivors from the group that had wanted to attack me?" asked Diana as she raised her head and looked at the two, causing them to freeze for a brief moment.

Seeing this, Diana shook her head.

"Forget it, with the power of the bomb that I have provided you, all of them should be dead if they were caught in its radius," mumbled Diana before turning her attention to the human currently unconscious on a nearby bed.

"Andropov, have you confirmed her stand ability?" asked Diana, causing Andropov to nod.

"Yes Lady Diana, her stand ability has been tested, the report provided by Ozaki Koji should be accurate," said Andropov, causing Diana to nod.

"Very well, I shall test it myself, you two should go ahead and rest," said Diana as she placed the golden arrow down on the desk.

Hearing this, both Andropov and Ivan quickly got out of the room, leaving Diana alone with Haru, who was currently unconscious.

As she looked at Haru, a faint smile couldn't help but appear on Diana's face.

"Everything seems to be going well recently," mumbled Diana before placing the golden arrow into one of her pockets.
