Inside the paper bag were familiar-looking cookies, emitting a rich, buttery aroma.

Mia tasted one, it was crispy and sweet, her eyes lit up with happiness: "Why do you have cookies from Cade Bakery? Aren't they sold out? The owner has a weird temper and doesn't want to make more."

Dio walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and seemed to be looking for something: "I asked the owner to choose between being shot and making cookies. He is very smart."

After Mia got the stand, she became very sensitive to other people's sight, and Dio couldn't arrange his men to record her daily life.

Otherwise, Dio wouldn't have suddenly run into Mia in the bakery today.

However, Mia was very easy to talk to people she knew, so Dio asked his men to get some information from her.

Therefore, he easily knew that Mia went to the bakery today to buy this kind of butter biscuits.

The cookies are crispy and have a rich milky flavor, and are very popular among the women nearby. Mia waited in line for a long time, but before she could get a chance, they were sold out.

Dio heard from his men that Mia came back and angrily ate a whole roasted chicken.

Mia stuffed a few cookies into her mouth, her cheeks puffed up: "You really are an outlaw...Aren't you afraid that the store owner will call the police?"

Dio sneered, "You are amazing too. The gang leader actually queued up honestly and didn't buy it in the end."

Mia tilted her head, thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "That's right! I can ask my younger brother to line up early, so that I can eat it without leaving home!"

The corners of Dio's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he had the illusion that he was talking to a pig.

"Dio, am I very smart?" Mia finished her biscuits, leaned over, and pulled the corner of Dio's clothes with her hands stained with biscuit crumbs.

Dio made a "tsk" sound, slapped Mia's greasy paws away, and took out a rose hairpin.

The hairpin is made of jadeite with unique colors, one end is red and the other end is green. The red end is carved into a flower and the green end is carved into a branch.

The shape is simple and elegant, and the jade has a delicate texture and plenty of water.

Mia doesn't know much about jade, but judging from the watery look of the hairpin, it must be expensive.

Mia licked the cookie crumbs in her hand: "Why did you buy this?"

Dio took the hairpin and handed it to Mia: "I see you like Chinese style things very much."

"Is this for me? Thank you!" Mia reached out to take it with stars in her eyes.

Dio frowned slightly and avoided Mia's dirty hands: "Your hands are oily."

"Oh..." Mia pouted and turned her back to Dio, "Please put it on for me."

Dior combed Mia's hair with a comb and tied her hair with a hairpin.

The boy's movements were very gentle, and Mia didn't experience the "Mom, my hair is tied too tightly" feeling.

Dio took out a mirror and placed it next to Mia: "Okay, take a look."

The hairpin puts up her shoulder-length blonde hair, which looks like a rose blooming in her hair, adding a touch of oriental exoticism, classical and gentle.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Mia smiled sweetly, raised her hand to touch it, and then put it down immediately: "Thank you Dior! It looks so good!"

Dio put the mirror on the desk and pinched Mia's cheek: "Are you calm?"

Mia was stunned for a moment before she remembered the cold war and snorted, "No."

Dio put his arms around Mia's waist from behind and whispered in her ear: "Then you should also give me a tattoo with your name on it."

Out of the corner of her eye, Mia accidentally saw Dio's appearance through the mirror.

The boy's eyes were extremely hot, revealing a desire that Mia couldn't understand.

The temperature seemed to drop a little. Mia shook her head frantically: "No, no! I'm no longer angry!"

Dio hugged Mia's waist tightly and softened his voice: "Mia..."

"I'm going to wash my hands!" Mia's scalp tingled. She broke free from Dio and ran away without looking back.

Three months later, morning.

London docks.

A ship bound for the United States set off. Speedwagen stood on the deck and waved goodbye to Mia and Dio at the dock.

Dio put one hand in his pocket and watched Speedwagen leave. Mia stood beside Dio, dancing and waving, like a little potato that had become a spirit.

During this time, Top Hat successfully integrated the forces of Ghoul Street, and Speedwagon became free, so he decided to go to the United States to develop SPW.

In fact, there were other reasons why Speedwagen went to the United States.

Dio's methods were too radical and bloody, and Speedwagen did not agree with them.

But the Topper did develop rapidly under Dior's leadership, and everyone got a lot of benefits.

Seeing this, Speedwagen didn't know what to say.

Therefore, he planned to move away from the power center of the top hat and find a more suitable position for himself in the United States.

Speedwagen didn't say this out loud, but he felt that Dio should have guessed it.

Otherwise, Dio would not have needed to give him so many people and funds that exceeded the budget.

After Speedwagen's figure completely disappeared, the brother and sister went to their mother's grave.

With their plan to conquer Ghoul Street complete, they planned to head to Liverpool, looking for new opportunities.

Before leaving, they wanted to go see their mother.

Mia begged and persuaded Dio to take the subway.

London already had a subway at that time, but it was coal-fired and the underground environment was unventilated, so the smoke was billowing and the smell was choking, which was terrible.

After finally arriving at the station, Mia immediately rushed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

It’s so smelly!

Steam technology is not as cool as you think!!

Dio, who was left behind by Mia, pushed through the crowd and walked to her side: "I told you not to sit down."

Mia pouted and hugged Dio's arm and shook him: "I've never ridden in a subway that burns coal."

Dio's eyes flickered: "What else can the subway burn if not coal?"

Mia's expression froze: "Uh, this..."

Before she could come up with an excuse, Mia saw a group of strange-looking people appear on the opposite street.
