"If only we had been more patient and made more preparations instead of rushing to find Zhuge Cong."
"It might actually cause Zhuge Cong's ship to capsize."
Ryunosuke Akasaka looked at Zhuge Cong's tattered Mark 5 on the light screen and said.
If Akizuki Kozo's whip armor were more perfect, so that he wouldn't be left without a means of counterattack once Zhuge Cong gets close, and if the overall protective performance of the whip armor were better so that he wouldn't be numb from a single over-the-shoulder throw by Zhuge Cong.
Moreover, it appears that Zhuge Cong's Iron Man armor can be carried around and put on quickly.
However, his defense was clearly insufficient and his only attack method seemed to be the single palm cannon. Zhuge Cong did not use any of the various attack methods he had previously unleashed.
It couldn't have been that Zhuge Cong forgot in a moment of nervousness.
"We've already found out all the information about this guy."
"Akizuki Kozo, male, 35 years old, recently had a conflict with his wife, who then unilaterally filed for divorce."
"I used to work for your Zhuge Group for quite some time."
"You can go in without worry; he's already handcuffed."
"And our cameras have been constantly monitoring you, Mr. Zhuge Cong."
[A prison official standing nearby said.]
After Akizuki Kozo was imprisoned, Zhuge Cong immediately had Miyano Shiho make arrangements, and then set off to see the criminal who had disrupted his concert—a man of some intelligence but also lacking in common sense.
Upon entering Akizuki Kozo's solitary cell, Zhuge Cong saw Akizuki Kozo sitting in a chair, lost in thought.
"Pat-pat."
[In the empty prison cell, Zhuge Cong's footsteps were remarkably crisp.]
"Your technique is quite impressive, but the loop rate per second is a bit low."
"You're using ionized plasma channels to amplify the impact energy; it's effective, but not efficient."
"But it's acceptable; it's a decent technique."
[Zhuge Cong had already analyzed the whip-rope armor created by Akizuki Kozo.]
"I don't understand. You can make a lot of money, even start your own company group, with just a few minor modifications."
"Even reselling them on the black market can be very successful."
"Why did you attack me? We shouldn't have any past grudges."
[Zhuge Cong looked at Qiu Yuexiao and asked.]
"Ha, how would someone as high and mighty as you know?"
[Akizuki Kozo said softly, clearly not intending to tell Zhuge Cong about the humiliation he had suffered at the hands of Zhuge Stan and what had happened after he was dismissed.]
"Why didn't you hit me then? You clearly caught me at that moment."
"Since we have a grudge, why don't you just kill me directly?"
"You should be aware of the power of your armor."
[Zhuge Cong asked the second question that had been on his mind: given the distance between him and Akizuki Kozo, it was almost impossible for him to miss. Why didn't he finish him off then and there?]
Upon hearing this, Akizuki Kozo turned to look at Zhuge Cong and gave him a mysterious smile.
"If you could make God bleed, people would no longer worship him, nor would they regard him as God; God would be dethroned."
"As soon as there is blood in the water, sharks will quickly swarm around it."
"So now, I just need to sit here and wait, without having to lift a finger myself, and quietly watch you be swallowed up by the world, bit by bit."
"You're going to watch me get devoured there, in prison? Well, that's all you can do. I'll send you some soap."
After finishing his speech, Zhuge Cong also got up and left.
[Akizuki Kozo's words made him realize that Akizuki Kozo did not have the true intention of killing him directly.]
Without his invincible aura, those lurking in the shadows no longer fear him and will continuously emerge to challenge him.
[After all, if someone who suddenly appears can defeat Iron Man, why can't I?]
Zhuge Cong knew that he was not alone in having such thoughts.
"This guy really has some ideas."
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, watching Akizuki Kozo's true strategy on the screen, thought it was a brilliant strategy.
Unfortunately, this would cost him dearly, which Ayanokoji Kiyotaka felt was not worth it.
However, from Akizuki Kozo's perspective, it was well worth it.
If Ayanokoji Kiyotaka were to come, he would also choose someone like Akizuki Kozo, who harbors a grudge against Zhuge Cong and doesn't care about his own fate, to cause trouble for Zhuge Cong.
The goal was to dethrone Zhuge Cong.
Just before Zhuge Cong was about to leave, Akizuki Kozo suddenly turned around and called out to him.
"Wait a minute, Zhuge Cong. Palladium will gradually seep into your chest, and you'll die a painful death, bit by bit. You should like this way of dying, right?"
[Akizuki Kozo's words made Zhuge Cong pause, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he knocked on the door to signal him to open it and leave.]
Watching Zhuge Cong leave, Akizuki Kozo revealed a very satisfied smile.
"This is unbelievable; it proves that the genie has been released."
"But he himself had no idea what he was doing; he treated Iron Man's armor like a toy."
[“At a hearing I attended previously, Mr. Zhuge Cong firmly asserted that this kind of battle suit is impossible to find elsewhere, does not exist elsewhere, and will not exist elsewhere in the future.”]
"They said it wouldn't happen for at least five to ten years, but the Monaco concert has made us realize quickly, oh dear, this kind of outfit already exists."
The in-flight television was playing a news segment, and Shiho Miyano immediately muted it upon seeing Zhuge Cong arrive to avoid upsetting him.
"Adding fuel to the fire."
[Zhuge Cong, carrying a dessert, plopped down opposite Shiho Miyano and said...]
"How did your conversation go with Akizuki Kozo, the one who launched the attack?"
[Shiho Miyano took a sip of her coffee and said.]
"Not good at all. Don't even mention that guy; he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison anyway."
[Zhuge Cong's mind was still replaying the words that Akizuki Kozo had said to him.]
[God, dethroned from his pedestal; sharks drawn by his blood; palladium seeping in, slowly and painfully dying.]
These words, though perhaps not so impactful to Zhuge Cong himself, felt suffocating coming from Qiu Yuexiao, who had attacked him.
"Oh, by the way, could you buy some soap and send it to him? I promised him."
Zhuge Cong scooped up a spoonful of dessert and took a bite to alleviate his anxiety.
"Are you planning to personally address this issue when we get back? The Monaco concert incident has caused quite a bit of trouble. If you don't personally handle it, it will be very difficult for me to explain it all by myself."
[Shiho Miyano looked at Zhuge Cong and said, "Actually, I don't think Zhuge Cong needs to explain anything; I can always cover for him."]
"No, I'm too lazy to talk to those reporters and stuff."
[Zhuge Cong waved his hand and said.]
"How are you feeling?"
[Shiho Miyano didn't want to ask, but this time, Zhuge Cong was testing the Iron Man armor again to deal with Kozo Akizuki, which would definitely intensify the penetration of palladium.]
"Fifty-eight percent."
[When I was getting the dessert, Zhuge Cong casually took a measurement.]
[When Shiho Miyano heard this number, her hand trembled and she almost dropped her coffee.]
"From now on, stay home and don't wander around anymore. I'll get the best medical team coming; you're not allowed to refuse."
After finishing her sentence, Shiho Miyano got up and went to the bathroom to be alone and have some peace and quiet.
[Zhuge Cong ate the dessert, but felt no sweetness, only bitterness.]
"Time is running out for Zhuge Cong."
"Could it be that after Zhuge Cong's death, Shiho Miyano inherited his will and became the second Iron Man to uphold justice and advance the world?!"
Looking at Zhuge Cong, whose blood toxin content had reached 58% in the light screen, Gokou Ruri wondered if Zhuge Cong would really become the first superhero to die.
Shiho Miyano inherited Zhuge Cong's group and his will, becoming the second Iron Man.
140: Zhuge Cong: I want to do it myself.
In prison, Akizuki Kozo sat on his bed, scratching at the wall, lost in thought. Perhaps he was thinking about his departed wife, or perhaps he was wondering what kind of suffering Zhuge Cong was enduring.
"Clang, clang, clang."
A metallic clanging sound came from the side of the door. Tilting his head, Akizuki Kozo saw a prison guard carrying lunch, banging on the iron cell door with a baton, looking at him with a strange expression.
After bringing over Akizuki Kozo's lunch, he simply turned and left.
[Akizuki Kozo also stood up to take the plate of mashed potatoes for lunch. Mashed potatoes are delicious, but the mashed potatoes in prison are terrible. It tastes like mashed potatoes that have been slightly heated without any seasoning, and it even has a slightly spoiled taste.]
