"There's another person, Qiuyue Sifeng, but his idea is to use the Ark Reactor to make money and profit."
"Later, your father discovered Qiuyue Sifeng's intentions and the despicable things he had done behind the scenes, so he kicked Qiuyue Sifeng out and banished him to the Z District area."
"You know that District Z is no good place, and naturally the Qiuyue family harbors a lot of resentment towards your Zhuge family."
"Then, after so many years, the conflict between the Zhuge family and the Qiuyue family erupted at your concert."
"According to our investigation, Akizuki Kozo may not have initially harbored much ill will towards you, but his malice only truly surfaced after you fired him."
"We speculate that in the past, Akizuki Kozo didn't intend to oppose you, or rather, he didn't care much about the conflicts between his parents, because his family was still doing well back then."
"Later, after you fired him, his family life started to fall apart. That's when he developed resentment towards you, which combined with the resentment from his parents, leading him to take action against you."
"As for the arc reactor on Akizuki Kozo's battle suit, it was probably obtained from his father."
King's words left Zhuge Cong somewhat stunned, because even Jarvis's investigation hadn't yielded such detailed results.
As far as Zhuge knows, there is no server in the world that Jarvis cannot hack.
[Zhuge Cong silently increased the level of importance he placed on S.H.I.E.L.D.]
"Really? Oh right, you told me back then that I hadn't tried everything. What did you mean? You didn't try everything? What haven't I tried yet?"
"You'll have to ask your father. He said you're the only one with the ability and wisdom to finish what he didn't."
【"Yeah."】
"Do you think you're that kind of person? Because if you are, then you can solve the mystery of your heart."
[Zhuge Cong nodded at King's words, then shook his head and said...]
"I don't know where you got your information. How did you learn about my father and so much about him, things I didn't even know?"
"Really? It seems I know a side of myself you didn't know."
"At least in this respect, yes. In my eyes, my father isn't as capable as you describe. While he is capable in my eyes, his strength lies not in research and invention, but in business."
"Actually, you were right. Bring it up."
After King finished speaking, he waved his hand, and two agents carried up a huge, silver-white box.
146: Zhuge Cong: So you're only now realizing I'm the devil?
"What is this?"
Zhuge Cong curiously examined the silver-white box that the two agents had carried up.
"You might not know this, but your father was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D."
King gave Zhuge Cong a strange smile and said.
"Oh, I see. No wonder. Wait, what did you just say?"
Upon hearing King's words, Zhuge Cong immediately sat up straight, looking at King with a surprised expression.
"I'm the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I was also secretly researching the Arc Reactor. I even kicked one of the guys out of the team, and then that guy's son came after my son for revenge?"
Zhuge Yunhai, Zhuge Cong's father, who was outside the light screen, also looked at King's introduction to him with a surprised expression.
I had initially thought that Zhuge Yunhai's most frequent appearances would be in Zhuge Cong's memories after seeing him say he was dead on the screen.
In the end, it wasn't in Zhuge Cong's memories but in the memories of this S.H.I.E.L.D. director. Moreover, it felt like the person this S.H.I.E.L.D. director was talking about didn't seem like himself. Zhuge Yunhai himself didn't even know he was so powerful.
"So, were some things done after I died?"
Zhuge Cong's father, Zhuge Yunhai, also believed that the things that Nick Fury, Director King, said were things he would do in his future death.
"I have other things to do at 2 o'clock."
[King stood up, intending to take his leave, and Zhuge Cong, seeing King about to depart, immediately spoke up.]
"Wait a minute, what is this before you go, or tell me first?"
"Are you alright now?"
"No, I have something to do. You haven't told me what this is yet."
"Okay, I understand. You're done now, right?"
"What do you mean, 'can'? You've been talking to yourself the whole time."
Zhuge Cong looked at King, who was talking to himself, speechless.
"Vermouth will continue to remain at the Zhuge Group under her disguised identity; consider it payment for that tube of lithium dioxide."
"You should still remember the Western spy, right?"
[King straightened his coat and then spoke to Zhuge Cong.]
"Of course I remember Nishikata; he's still my friend."
"That's perfect. I know you're his friend, and you'll probably be spending a lot of time with him from now on."
After King finished speaking, he waved, and the newly arrived Western agent immediately went over.
"Chief."
"Long time no see, Cong."
[The Nishikata first reported to King, then greeted Zhuge Cong.]
"Alright, I'm leaving now. I won't disturb your reunion any longer."
"Oh, right, and there's also some Zhuge Cong. I'm keeping an eye on you."
[As King left, he turned back and said something to Zhuge Cong.]
[Zhuge Cong looked at Vermouth and Nishikata beside him. Vermouth also looked at Zhuge Cong, and then Vermouth spoke first.]
"We've cut off all communications and can't contact the outside world. Good luck."

After speaking, Vermouth turned and left, leaving Nishikata and Zhuge Cong alone.
"While I'd love to have a drink with you, I have urgent business to attend to. I need to change into something and head to my underground lab for a while. Could you perhaps have one of your men buy me a coffee to perk me up?"
[Zhuge Cong looked at the western scene and said.]
"I'm sorry, I can't do that. The chief told me to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't run away, so I'm sorry, Cong."
[Nishikata looked at Zhuge Cong and said, "There's nothing I can do. It's not that he doesn't value relationships or anything, it's just that he has a mission to complete right now."]
"I know, I know, then I won't make things difficult for you."
[Zhuge Cong, showing understanding, patted Xi Pian on the shoulder and said...]
"Yes, thank you for understanding. If you insist on doing that, it will be very difficult for me."
Seeing that Zhuge Cong didn't seem inclined to press the issue, Nishikata breathed a sigh of relief, but that didn't mean he let his guard down. After all, Nishikata knew what kind of person Zhuge Cong was.
"So, Nishikata, could you please tell me properly what kind of person I am?"
"You'd better think carefully about what to say."
Zhuge Cong, with a deathly smile, placed a hand on Nishikata's shoulder and said.
"Gudong."
Nishikata felt the weight of the hand on his shoulder, then turned his head like a rusty machine to look at Zhuge Cong, who was smiling but gave off a devilish feeling.
"In my heart, Cong is a very responsible, intelligent and talented person."
Seeing Zhuge Cong's enigmatic smile, Nishikata also chose to speak from the heart.
"Really? Not bad, Nishikata, you have a good eye."
"Let's remain skeptical of Zhuge Cong's words for now, since I can't say anything about it now, but I'll probably find a way to cause trouble as soon as I turn my back on him."
"Just like how Zhuge Cong was always finding ways to sabotage Sato Kazuma back in high school."
"I remember there was this attribute called something like, 'little, little...' right, 'little devil'."
"Yeah, so I'm a little devil after all."
Unfortunately, just as Nishikata finished speaking the inner thoughts of the agent Nishikata on the screen, Nishikata, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly gasped.
"Not bad, Nishikata. You've figured out I'm a devil."
"Um, Zhuge, please let me explain."
This was the first time Nishikata had faced Zhuge Cong in such a state.
Normally, it's Kazuma Sato and occasionally Hachiman Hikigaya who directly confront Zhuge Cong in this state.
Nishikata also felt that Kazuma Sato and Hachiman Hikigaya were truly strong people.
"Lieutenant General, now is not the time for the science team's experiments. Let's assemble the weapons on the suits first."
[Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the Vice Admiral like a child who had just received a new toy and said...]
"What a day this is! I had no idea there would be such a good thing today."
A rare smile appeared on Shinomiya Un'yō's face. He wasn't usually one to smile, and since the selection of the head of the Shinomiya family had been made, a smile had never appeared on his face again.
