The new leader of the Ten Commandments had been waiting for some time.
"Here you are, show your true colors, Zhugestan."
Light Yagami looked at the convoy on the light screen and said that he would swear on his own life that there would definitely be Zhuge Stan in the car.
Zhugestan stepped out of the car with a gloomy expression.
"I never imagined that the second-in-command of the Zhuge family was the mole within the Zhuge Group."
"Why would someone with such a high status and wealth do something like this?"
The appearance of Zhugestan also shocked those outside the screen who had failed to deduce that Zhugestan was the mole.
"Alas, you can know a person's face but not their heart."
Touma Kamijou looked at Godstan and said that he had guessed it might be Godstan, but he was still shocked to see it with his own eyes.
"Touma, you haven't seen enough, Touma. If you had seen the dark side, you wouldn't say that, because you would have taken it for granted, meow."
"It's Tsuchimikado Motoharu, dressed like a delinquent," he said.
Meanwhile, inside the Zhuge family compound, Zhuge Cong's father was furious as he looked at Zhuge Stan on the screen. He waved to his subordinates and muttered a few words in a low voice.
The subordinate immediately went to carry out the instructions given by Zhuge Cong's father.
Zhugestan surveyed the Ten Rings members with disdain, looking at them as if they were a bunch of trash.
"Your Ten Commandments gang members are utterly useless. If you had just killed Zhuge Cong back then, I wouldn't be so troubled," Zhuge Stan said as he walked up to the new leader. A head taller than the newcomer, Zhuge Stan exuded an air of authority.

"This isn't our fault. You only gave us a pittance, yet you ordered us to kill one prince after another," the new leader protested.
"Do you even want to hear what you're saying? A whole bunch of you, well-equipped, can't even kill an unarmed, seriously wounded person? Have you no shame?"
"I'm too lazy to argue with you all this time, just take me to see the weapons." Zhugestan, no longer interested in wasting time with them, waved his hand to signal them to lead the way.
"What weapons? Didn't they also buy weapons from Zhugestan? How could they buy weapons from Zhugestan? Is there some kind of trade-in program?"
Gabriel, a gamer, said that the source of the weapons used by the Ten Rings gang can be described in one sentence: it's like using a Beijing hukou (household registration) to defeat 90% of the test takers in one go.
Using weapons from the Zhuge Group is enough to defeat 90% of villainous organizations, so the Ten Commandments Gang's weapons all come from the Zhuge Group.
"I guess it must be the ironclad armor that Zhuge Cong made when he escaped."
Raphael thought for a moment and said, "After all, this is the only possibility."
"Alright, keep your men outside." The person in charge led Zhugestan into a tent.
Inside the tent were roughly cobbled-together Mark 1 armor pieces.
"His escape brought us an unexpected bonus."
"He escaped using this? It's unbelievable how he managed it under those circumstances," Zhugestan said, a mixture of surprise and bewilderment.
"I can say that we have dozens of these comrades-in-arms, enough to notify Z and all 10 districts of Q," said the bearded man in charge.
"I know you want to seize the throne of the Zhuge Group, so you can't do without this suit of armor," the bearded man continued.
"I can give you the design blueprints. In exchange, I need you to make ten sets of this armor for me. How about it?" the bearded man said, handing over a glass of wine.
[Grossstein simply smiled and remained silent, as if the bearded man's words were nothing more than a joke. He calmly put on his earphones, then pulled out a small gadget and pressed it in.]
A series of piercing screech sounds rang out, and the bearded man was instantly immobilized. His left cheek was covered in bluish-purple veins, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Don't worry, it only lasts 15 minutes. Okay, you don't need to worry about the rest." As he spoke, Zhugestan turned off the speaker, removed his earplugs, and pulled out a pistol, pointing it at the bearded man's head.
["Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and Gregstan emerged from the tent, his suit stained with blood. The Ten Rings members outside had been wiped out by his bodyguards.]
"Load the contents of the tent onto the vehicle, but don't damage them," Zhugestan said to his men.
"Get the Arc Reactor in Sector 16 ready, then bring me the best engineers. I need to conceal some data and then create a prototype," Zhugestan instructed on his phone.
"I really don't know how many of these subordinates Zhuge Stan has cultivated within the Zhuge Group over the years."
"Guys like this should be executed."
Gin looked at Zhuge Stan and said that what he hated most in his life was traitors, which was why he was so keen on killing traitors within the organization.
"Boss, don't you think that girl named Ai Haibara next to Zhuge Cong looks a lot like Sherry?"
Vodka said to Gin.
"picture."
"But that's a few years from now, and I don't want to cause trouble for the Zhuge Group."
"why?"
"You want to fight against the Iron Man suit? Even fighter jets can't do much against those things."
Gin looked at Vodka and said, "I never thought Vodka was so dull before."
Moreover, even if you go now, not only will the person who resembles Sherry not be there, but you might also end up getting yourself arrested.
[On the other side, Zhuge Cong, who was debugging his Iron Man armor, also summoned Ai Haibara. He couldn't keep calling Deidara and Sasori to debug the armor.]
"Is there something you need from me? Let me make it clear beforehand; if it's about retrieving your armor, I can't offer much help," Ai Haibara asked Zhuge Cong, who was busy at work.
"I need you to do me a favor. I need you to go to my office, hack into the mainframe, and get all the shipping manifests. Here's a special USB drive for you," Zhuge Cong said, taking something from a box and handing it to Ai Haibara.
"I don't think I need to teach you the rest."
"No need, I'm quite familiar with this kind of thing. I'll go now." Ai Haibara took the USB drive, put it in her pocket, and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Watching Ai Haibara leave, Zhuge Cong called out to her, then handed her a small gauntlet and a piece of paper.
"Use this in case of danger; this is the instruction manual."
"Don't worry, you have no idea what I used to do," Haibara said with a wry smile, but still accepted the handguard Zhuge Cong offered.
"Aren't you curious about why I want you to do this?"
"Tell me if you want to, or you can say so if you don't. Of course, I already know the main reason," Ai Haibara said, clearly indicating her agreement with what Zhuge Cong was about to do.
"Is that so? Then I won't say anything."
"I'm leaving."
"I brought it."
"Are you kidding me?" Zhuge Cong said, watching Ai Haibara walk out the door and then walk back in a second later.
"Here you go, I've already gotten it for you." Ai Haibara said, taking out a USB drive and handing it to Zhuge Cong. Zhuge Cong took it and realized it wasn't the USB drive he had given to Ai Haibara.
"The information you wanted? I've already prepared it for you, just waiting for you to ask me for it," Ai Haibara said to Zhuge Cong with an air of knowing she had been expecting it.
"Oh, well, it seems I should have contacted you sooner. Actually, you could have come to me too."
"I don't want to interrupt your date with your armor."
"You sound jealous. You're not jealous of a battle suit, are you?"
"You're overthinking it. I wouldn't be jealous of you. Alright, I have work to do. You handle your own affairs." Ai Haibara said, turning and leaving.
After Ai Haibara left, Zhuge Cong also inserted the USB drive into the computer to access the information.
The more Zhuge Cong investigated, the darker his face became.
[“Fuck you!” Upon seeing the final scene, Zhuge Cong transformed into “Fuck you!” and unleashed a torrent of profanities.]
25: Zhuge Cong: I keep you in my heart, you keep me in your pocket.
[“Fuck you!” Upon seeing the final scene, Zhuge Cong transformed into “Fuck you!” and unleashed a torrent of profanities.]
The documents in front of him contained numerous shipping manifests, and Zhuge Cong grew increasingly furious as he read them.
The shipping manifest inside listed everything from his latest Jericho missile and its associated equipment to everyday items from the Zhuge Group—basically anything that could be sold for profit. Zhuge Stan bought it all behind his back.
[Moreover, the furthest date recorded on the shipping manifest is one day after his father's death, meaning that Zhugestan harbored rebellious intentions as early as one day after his father's death.]
"I treated him so well, like family, and valued him so much. I never imagined he'd treat me like this behind my back. He started plotting against me the day after my father died! Damn it!" Zhuge Cong slammed his hand on the table.
"This Zhuge Stan is still too hasty. Rather than saying that he is meticulous, he made a mistake. He was able to keep it from Zhuge Cong for so many years. Besides Zhuge Cong valuing him and treating him like family, he could also see through his plans and schemes."
"However, it can only be said that Zhuge Cong, who was kidnapped by terrorists, did not die, but instead created a powerful weapon."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka watched as Zhuge Cong threw a tantrum on the screen and saw the alarming list.
Kiyotaka Ayanokouji felt that Zhuge Stan was still a capable person, but fate was not on his side, and Zhuge Cong still ran away in the face of desperation.
"What is this?" Zhuge Cong noticed that besides the shipping manifest, there was also a document marked as confidential, and it had been updated three days prior.
"Three days ago, let me see what this document you marked 'Confidential' was all about." Zhuge Cong's expression changed drastically upon opening the document and seeing the contents of the first page.
"These are the blueprints for my Mark 1 armor. Where did he get them?" Zhuge Cong was puzzled. He had destroyed the blueprints himself; where could Zhuge Stan have gotten them? Zhuge Cong hadn't imagined that the Ten Rings members would send so many people to tirelessly search for parts of his Mark 1 armor in the desert.
"What exactly do you want, Zhuge Stan?" Zhuge Cong continued reading. The next page showed a new Mark 1 armor. It was called new because compared to his own Mark 1 armor, this one was significantly larger and carried a large number of heavy weapons.
"Based on the content shown on the screen earlier, I estimate that this villain named Zhuge Stan definitely wants to create his own Iron Man suit, then kill Zhuge Cong, and then naturally take over the Zhuge Group."
Hikaru Yagami analyzed this at the game company Eagle Jump.
As one of the most capable employees in the game company, he is also very good at character development, so it is easy to deduce that Zhugestan is a villain in the game.
