My Stand-in is Steve

   Chapter 239 The Charm

   "Why don't... let your son Jonathan recognize me as godfather."

   Fang Mo smiled and said, "I have wanted a son for a long time. When he grows up, I can teach him to learn magic."

   "...is that so?"

   Hearing Fang Mo's statement, Joestar was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Different from the country where Fang Mo lives, the word godfather is quite rare in Europe. After all, the biological father is not dead, and it is really strange to suddenly have an adoptive father or something, but Joestar is a noble after all, and he is very fast. I understood what Fang Mo meant.

   Obviously, what the other party mentioned has nothing to do with the 'adopted children'.

   In comparison, this is more like an apprenticeship, or a concept like recognizing each other as a godfather.

Joestar is European after all, and he still understands the godfather very well. Fang Mo saved his life, and because he could not give birth to an offspring, he wanted to be the godfather of his child Jonathan. Of course the gentleman could not refuse.

   "I see, Mr. Steve."

   I saw Joestar nodded: "Then... Jonathan's baptism will be handed over to you."

"rest assured."

  Fang Mo stretched out his hand to make an OjβK gesture, and then patted his chest confidently: "I assigned you a clear arrangement."

  “…”

  Jostar looked at Fang Mo's actions in front of him, and for some reason, an unpleasant feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

But before he could say anything, Fang Mo opened his mouth, only to see Fang Mo rubbing his chin thoughtfully while looking at him up and down: "By the way, Mr. Joestar, I have something to think about. Please teach me."

"Um?"

  Jostar asked strangely: "What?"

"you…"

   Fang Mo looked at Joestar and asked curiously, "Do you believe in fate?"

"destiny?"

   Hearing these two words, Joestar was suddenly stunned.

   He originally thought that Fang Mo would ask himself something else, about the business of the nobles, his own experience, or his son Jonathan, but the other party threw such a strange question.

   was silent for a long time.

   Joestar said slowly.

   "Mr. Steve, I think fate does exist. Although we can't see it, it affects us all the time. Each of us is a slave to fate."

"If my wife Mary hadn't bought that strange ancient mask, then she and I wouldn't have been delayed because of this, and happened to encounter that heavy rain on the way back... It can be said that it was precisely because of the antique mask that indirectly caused the her death."

   "This is destiny."

   "From the moment she saw the mask in the antique store, everything that followed was a foregone conclusion, including my encounter with you and Mr. Dario, all of which were destined by fate."

   Having said this, Joestar silently closed his eyes and said with a long sigh, "We thought we had resisted fate, but we don't know that this is also part of fate."

"Um…"

   After hearing what Joestar said, Fang Mo also nodded: "So that's what you think?"

   "This is just my personal opinion."

  Jostar said.

   "What if fate had to let you die?"

  Fang Mo asked again: "Will you reject this fateful arrangement? Or...will you accept it?"

"I don't think I'm afraid of death." Joestar pondered for a while, and then said seriously: "Death is not terrible, what is really terrible is meaningless death, as a gentleman of the Joestar family , I hope that I can die with value, and if that is the case, then I will gladly accept the arrangement of fate."

   "Your answer is really admirable."

  Fang Mo glanced at George Joestar unexpectedly. He had to say that the consciousness of the JOJO family was too high, and Fang Mo didn't know how to continue the conversation.

In the near future, Dario Brando's child, a villain named Dio, will seek the property of the Joestar family, and just when the other party wants to kill Jonathan, George Joestar. He suddenly blocked the sword with his body, sacrificed his life to save his child, and then died in the arms of his son.

  Fang Mo had a heart to save this kind gentleman.

   But after listening to what the other party said, Fang Mo didn't know what to say.

  Wait until the day when Dior starts, will he rescue him by himself? Or just quietly watch the other party sacrifice himself and pass on his golden spirit to his son Jonathan?

   "Mr. Steve, do you see the fate in me?"

  Jostar is just kind and not stupid. After the previous communication, he has already reacted. After all, Fang Modu calls himself a mage, and it seems quite normal to predict the future with astrology.

"more or less."

   Fang Mo nodded, but he didn't mind spoilers, and asked directly, "Do you want to know?"

   "There is no need to say anything else." Joestar thought for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "But can you please tell me when I will die?"

   "Probably...after your son is an adult."

  Fang Mo touched his chin, and he couldn't remember the exact time, but when Dior and Jonathan were fighting, it was obvious that they were both adults: "You will die in your son's arms."

   "Is that so?"

  Jostar felt relieved when he heard this: "So... it's enough, as long as the child Jonathan grows up, I have nothing to worry about."

   After saying this, Joestar also stood up directly from the sofa.

   "It's getting late, Mr. Steve."

  Jostar saluted Fang Mo, and then said, "It's time to say goodbye. I have benefited a lot from the communication with you today, and I will cherish the next day."

After    finished speaking, Joestar turned and walked outside.

   Fang Mo looked at Joestar's back, pondered for a moment, and then said to him, "Actually, I can save you."

   "No need, Mr. Steve."

When Joestar heard this, his footsteps paused slightly, but he quickly continued to walk towards the door: "The Joestar family has been a gentleman for generations, so am I, and a true gentleman will not fear death. …”

After    finished speaking, Joestar pushed the door and left.

  “…”

  Fang Mo didn't speak, just quietly looked at the direction Joestar left.

  To be honest, his heart is a little complicated now.

In fact, as early as in the Marvel world, he forcibly rescued Thor's mother, Frigga, the queen of Asgard. The other party also expressed his willingness to obey the arrangement of fate and choose to die or something, but He was rescued by Fang Mo involuntarily.

  Because Frigga's death is a pity in Fang Mo's eyes.

   After watching the whole movie, he was filled with a strong urge to feel that the other party should not just die like this.

   But George Joestar is different.

   His death is not a regret, but more like a sublimation.

   It was precisely because he chose to die willingly that the first generation of JOJO was created...that is, the golden spirit of his son Jonathan Joestar, which gave the other party the courage to go forward and a heart full of perseverance and compassion.

   Fang Mo is a bit contradictory.

   The other party used his own death to achieve Da Qiao.

   Fang Mo didn't think it was a pity, but rather admired the other party.

  Theoretically speaking, it is precisely because he admires him that he should let him go to die, but for some reason, he always feels that something is not right. It is also because of his charisma that he does not want him to die.

   "This is really confusing... eh?"

  Fang Mo rubbed his temples, but then he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Grass, is this the charm of JOJO?"

   shook his head, Fang Mo stopped thinking about Joestar.

   The other party has at least 20 years to live. It's really too early to worry about it now. Instead of sitting here and struggling with this, it's better to study your own MC items first.

   After all, this time, he brought a lot of fun things.
