Zongman: Evolution Paradise

"You and that other man outside even have a daughter? Why didn't I even attend the wedding? You have to make up for it with a few meals!"

It took several explanations to convince Kawauchi-sensei that she was simply helping her student and that Ai Haibara was not Jolyne's daughter...

Kirisu Mafuyu distanced herself from Jolyne, banishing all inappropriate thoughts from her mind, and once again told herself, "A college student and a teacher are absolutely impossible."

However, recalling the nearly one year she had spent with Jolyne, Kirisu Mafuyu added, "...at least I'll have to wait until he graduates."

Jolyne glanced at Kirisu Mafuyu with a strange look, not understanding what she was thinking or how her expression could change so quickly. She checked the time on her phone and suggested, "Ai isn't here. How about we go out for lunch together? It'll be almost noon by the time we get back to school anyway."

Kirisu Mafuyu thought for a moment and nodded.

Back in the car, she changed her high heels into indoor shoes before driving Jolyne to find a place to eat.

Then they met Hiratsuka Shizuka, who also didn't want to eat at convenience stores or the school cafeteria.

"What's that look in your face?"

Inside the izakaya, Hiratsuka Shizuka raised her fist and threatened Jolyne.

"It's a joy, after all, you still owe me a meal."

Jolyne pressed down on Hiratsuka Shizuka's fist. Today, Hiratsuka Shizuka was unusually not wearing her white coat, and her face was covered with light makeup.

Hiratsuka Shizuka hadn't forgotten about it; a few days ago, when she asked Jolyne to join the Service Club, she promised to treat him to a meal.

"Then come and sit at my table, and Mafuyu too."

Hiratsuka sat down next to Jolyne, placing her arm on Jolyne's shoulder. "By the way, why do I always see you two together? You haven't been bullying Mafuyu, have you?"

Kirisu Mafuyu's face stiffened, because she dared not let Hiratsuka Shizuka know the apartment she lived in; even now, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't know they were neighbors.

"Is Hiratsuka-sensei putting on makeup because she's going on a blind date? Or has it already ended?"

Touching a nerve, Hiratsuka Shizuka wrapped her arms around Jolyne and said angrily, "If you figured it out, then don't say it!"

Chapter 104 Still a Spy?

Anya's enrollment procedures were completed by this time, and she and the other two followed Teacher Kawauchi.

Lloyd Fogg said to the teacher who was far away from him, "Then, Mr. Kawauchi, I'll leave Anya to you. Please let me know if there are any problems."

“No problem, Mr. Lloyd.”

Lloyd Fogger opened his mouth, but still didn't explain that his last name was Fogger, not Lloyd.

Kneeling down beside Anya, he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Ania, remember to get along well with your classmates."

Watching Lloyd Foggie walk away, Ms. Kawauchi smiled and said to them, "Alright, let's go get to know our classmates now. Maybe we can make some compatible friends during lunch break."

Anya glanced at Lloyd Fogg and clenched her fists to encourage herself.

“Ania wants to protect her father. As long as she becomes friends with them, her father’s identity will not be exposed.”

Following Kanna and Ai Haibara, Anya took the initiative to introduce herself.

"My name is Anya Fogg. I like Phantom Thief Kid and Peanuts. My favorite doll is Chimera. My dream is for my father to find me a mother..."

"Haibara Ai."

"Kobayashi Kanna".

The first step taken was cut short.

……

“It’s all very strange,” Lloyd Fogg thought.

Based on his many years of experience in the industry, he had a feeling that the families of those two children were not ordinary people.

However, Lloyd Fogger preferred to turn a blind eye to such matters, given that he was now part of the Black Organization.

There's no need to provoke those you can't beat; if you can, you're just contributing to the Black Organization's record and adding another sin to Lloyd Fogg's spy career.

If they were really players, it's unimaginable how Anya would respond if she came back and told him that a classmate she had just met had a family member die.

After walking for a while, Lloyd Fogg left the school gate and headed to the convenience store to buy a sandwich.

"Red beans, fried noodles, pineapple..."

He wasn't interested in these flavors, and after scanning one after another, Lloyd Fogger finally found a more ordinary bacon sandwich in the corner.

As soon as he took it out, Lloyd Fogger saw a spider on the back of the sandwich.

It was just an ordinary indoor spider, so he didn't pay it any mind and simply shook it away.

After paying for his sandwich amidst the cashier's adoring smile, Lloyd Fogg returned to his car, ready to complete this solemn lunch.

In Britain, eating is a sacred thing, and after so many years as a spy, this is the only time he can relive his past.

Tear it straight along the dotted line. Because it was freshly packaged today, the sandwich has a different feel than a regular bread roll.

Finding the perfect angle, Lloyd stopped in his bite, for he saw a spider in the crevice of the sandwich.

Black, with a few legs still struggling inside the sandwich.

Unable to accept the extra protein, Lloyd put it back in the bag.

Reluctantly lying in the driver's seat, Lloyd Fogg opened a document, ready to begin his work for the day.

Inside was information about a former member of the Black Organization who had been out of contact for several days and whose death in Chiba had been confirmed by the organization.

The man in the photo has a stiff smile and seems uncomfortable with the bright flash.

"Hiroki Harada".

It's quite a hassle to say that this happened so soon after he took office in Chiba.

If not handled properly, he could easily be held accountable by other codename members, and Gin might even question his abilities.

At that moment, Lloyd glanced at the photo placed in front of the car. In the photo of him and Anya, two black dots were lying right next to their heads, whispering to each other.

A chill ran down his spine as Lloyd stared at them stiffly.

That's a spider again.

-

"Jolyne is really amazing! She's academically excellent and athletically gifted. She'll definitely be able to go to Tokyo University for further studies someday. When that happens, when that happens..."

Kirisu Mafuyu's cheeks flushed as she patted Jolyne's shoulder while showering her with compliments.

Jolyne restrained Kirisu Mafuyu's waist to prevent her from making any more dangerous moves, and glanced at the culprit, Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"I already told you not to force-feed Xiaozhenfuyu alcohol."

Hiratsuka Shizuka said guiltily, "But I really want to know how much alcohol it would take to turn Mafuyu like this."

Once Kirisu Mafuyu gets drunk, her personality undergoes a drastic change. She transforms from a serious and unsmiling person into a lively and cheerful one, and she will keep praising people.

Hiratsuka Shizuka knew about this, but she didn't know how much it would take for Kirisu Mafuyu to become like this.

Because Kirisu Mafuyu changes rapidly when it comes into contact with alcohol, giving no one a chance to react, even with ordinary fruit wine.

"How could they get Mafuyu drunk with an amount that wouldn't even be detected by a DUI check?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced suspiciously at the rim of the cup; the lip print on it was indeed only a very small bite.

"Jolyne is also very popular with girls, that's amazing."

Kirisu Mafuyu had already nestled her soft body into Jolyne's arms, her two spheres rubbing against them.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was shocked and quickly came over to pull Kirisu Mafuyu away.

"Mafuyu, wake up!"

"Jing, you're very beautiful too, and you have a great personality. I'll marry you someday."

The orange tree was thriving nearby, and a spider was lurking beside Jolyne's ear, continuing to provide him with a live broadcast.

-

A rustling sound came from inside the car, and the midday sun cast a dim shadow over the interior. Spiders emerged from various parts of the car, their emotionless compound eyes staring at Lloyd.

"Why didn't I feel anything at all?"

Lloyd was confident in his investigative abilities; after all, without them, his espionage career would have ended long ago.

But he hadn't noticed these spiders before they appeared; rather than hiding, they seemed to have just been transferred from another space.

The bag next to it also made a strange noise. The cardboard packaging was torn open, and a spider that had merged with the bacon crawled out uncomfortably.

Then the spiders began to climb toward this unusual spider, their flesh and blood strangely merging together. With a tremor, this newly born being flew toward Lloyd, emitting a piercing sound.

"Still working as a spy, Dusk?"

Chapter 105 Of course, you have to watch TV while eating.

"what are you saying?"

Lloyd concealed his chill beneath his mask, his face displaying surprise and wariness.

"Dusk" may not necessarily refer to his codename before he infiltrated the Black Organization; it could be his player ID.

As for explicitly stating that he was a spy?

Lloyd is more inclined to believe that this is Gin's test after he became a codenamed member.

As a codenamed member of the tough black organization, he has to fight back against other players' provocations first.

With a sudden swift movement of his right hand, he grabbed at the spider. The seemingly strange spider offered no resistance and was easily caught. Lloyd then squeezed it tightly.

Without any flesh or blood, the bursting juice transformed the spider into colorful marbles, which bounced in all directions.

This is his ultimate weapon – the Three of Diamonds, which has the power to turn any object it touches into a marble.

However, the death of this spider did not end the matter. As the light and shadow swept by, countless spiders surged inside the car, turning into a black tide that covered Lloyd.

"If you don't listen to people, you'll die."

The piercing sound echoed in the car again, and Lloyd's movement to unleash his skill came to an abrupt halt, not because he was frightened by the sound, but because, without him noticing, transparent spider silk had already pierced through his body.

Like a puppet on a string, Lloyd reached out and took off his right glove, which turned into a three-of-a-kind card and was taken away by several spiders.

He then noticed how the spider moved, weaving a web on the spot as if performing a simple ritual, and the equipment he had finally obtained was directly transferred away.

"What kind of organization are you? Don't you know the consequences of provoking the Black Organization?"

"Stop joking, Dusk. You, who aspire to world peace, would you really side with the Black Organization?"

The snickers around him silenced Lloyd; this seemingly absurd dream was known to few.

So, if it's not Gin, then what organization is it?

Why do I know so much about my own existence?

"Are you in charge of Chiba's affairs? Are there any other codenamed members in Chiba?"

The voice rang in his ears.

Lloyd scoffed and retorted, "You think you're so great, but you have to ask me for answers to something like this?"

“My Lord has just awakened and naturally needs to understand the current situation. If you offer your loyalty, you will also be able to evolve.”

Anyone can talk big.

"What would happen if your information were delivered to Gin?"

The photo of him and Anya was presented to Lloyd, and a chill ran down his spine.

"Since it's all about betraying the Black Organization anyway, what's the difference between sending one piece of intelligence and sending two?"

"Dusk, that's not a difficult choice."

Sunlight streamed through the glass, illuminating Lloyd Fogg's face. Whether it was boasting or not, the other man had an irresistible charm that Lloyd couldn't refuse...

At one moment, Lloyd suddenly opened his eyes, his body springing up before slowly sitting back down.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which soaked through his exquisitely tailored high-end suit.

The car was as clean and tidy as ever, and his body was not pierced by spider silk.
