I, Kamen Rider of Zetsu Zero

"Ellen and I are classmates."

"classmate?!"

This answer surprised Suzu, Tetsu and Nekomata.

Ling and Zhe knew that Mo Yu was a junior high school student, but Ailian and the others did not. Even though Elen is indeed young, no matter how hard you think about it, it is impossible to connect the shark maid holding a bloody gardening scissors in the hollow to kill melons and vegetables with the students who are still in school, right? This sharp contrast is really hard to accept. It felt to them as if someone suddenly came out and said that Kamen Rider was actually a student! !

"Are you really classmates?"

"Yes, we are classmates. We just went shopping together this weekend. I passed by your store, so I thought I would come in and take a look."

Mo Yu answered the two people's questions truthfully.

What he told was true. He and Ailian were indeed classmates. This would be no problem even if it was verified later.

"Ah...it turns out that Mo Yu and Miss Ailian are classmates."

Zhe nodded, temporarily agreeing with this statement, and planned to ask Fairy to check the information of Mo Yu's school later.

He was also curious about how his friend got involved with the shark maid and Victoria housekeeper? An ordinary boy who likes photography suddenly gets involved with the dark side of the city. This is not a good sign. As a friend, he is very worried about Mo Yu.

"So...are you a couple?"

Compared to Zhe, Ling on the side suddenly discovered the highlights of the matter. Then this shocking sentence made Mo Yu squirt out the juice he just drank in his mouth. Even Miss Shark, who was sleeping on the sofa, couldn't help but tremble slightly with her curled tail.

"Ah meow! So dirty!!"

The cat closest to Mo Yu let out another scream.

"Sorry, sorry."

Mo Yu quickly apologized to her, and then his throat began to cough violently.

"Ahem...what are you thinking about? Ling."

Chapter 101: Intelligence Agent·Shepherd

"Are you a couple?"

Regarding Ling's sudden inquiry, of course Mo Yu denied Sanlian.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Although he doesn't care too much about this matter, he still has to take Ailian's reputation into consideration. After all, she is a girl. If she is misunderstood, it will be very troublesome. Moreover, he just vaguely heard the sudden and slightly urgent call coming from the sofa, which indicated that Ailian should have woken up, so Mo Yu decisively denied it three times in a row.

"Isn't it..."

After getting this answer, Ling and Zhe didn't feel much surprise or doubt. After all, they mentioned this matter out of concern and as a joke between friends.

Now that Mo Yu has denied it, then it doesn't mean it isn't, and it's not a big deal.

After the ensuing chat, several people simply exchanged greetings about how they were doing recently, and the topics were all within the scope of friends' chat. After Ailian sat down on the sofa in a daze, yawned a little, and regained a lot of energy, Mo Yu said goodbye to Ling and Zhe and left.

Speaking of which, they originally wanted to rent some videos to watch, but now they obviously don't need them anymore.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Elian had slept for more than four o'clock. He had also been chatting with Ling and Zhe here for a long time. It was time to leave here, although Zhe also invited Mo Yu and Elian to stay for dinner. We had dinner together, but it took so long that Mo Yu felt it was inconvenient to stay.

The superhero movies that were originally selected were also put back on the display stand by Mo Yu. Today, we can't see them anymore. After all, it's around five o'clock in the afternoon. After dinner, it will be at least seven o'clock when we get home.

A lonely man and a widow taking Elian home late at night? This doesn't sound right no matter how you think about it, right? And more importantly, dad called yesterday and said he would be back tonight.

If he saw himself and Ailian at home when he returned home, he might make a shocking statement and misunderstood something. He was worried that Elian would be frightened by his lack of tone, so he had better wait until next time.

After briefly stretching, Mo Yu took Ailian to say goodbye to Zhe and Ling, the brothers and sisters who had disturbed the whole day.

Although it could be seen that Maomata, who had also been here for a day, wanted to follow him and seemed to have something to say, he still stopped when he saw Mo Yu and Ailian walking away.

Forget it, let’s do it next time.

"Thank you for your previous help and the conversation that night..."

Nekomata watched the two figures walking away side by side and muttered softly, and then hurried back to the Cunning Rabbit House amidst the urging of Nicole's phone call.

She just remembered that Nicole seemed to have a lot of work to do. She had taken half a day off today because she wanted to visit the Phaethon brothers and sisters, but she didn't expect that she would meet Mo Yu here and chat for a while. I was so excited that I forgot about time.

Looking at it now, it seems like this is an unexcused absence from work, ah~

Nicole shouldn't be so stingy as to deduct her salary, right?

"Anyway, please take good care of me in the future. I am now considered a new member of the Cunning Rabbit House. If you have any trouble, you can hire me at any time."

"The commission price is easy to negotiate, I'll give you a 20% discount, ah meow~"

Nekomata, who rejected Suzu and Tetsu's dinner invitation, waved goodbye to the siblings behind him and hurriedly got up and hurried back to the Cunning Rabbit House.

"There is also a commission fee..."

Seeing Nekomata hurried away, Ling and Zhe looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Obviously, Maomata, who had just joined, had no idea about the financial situation of Cunning Rabbit House. It was actually a miracle that the firm, which had been running deficits all year round, had not closed down.

Plus how much commission fees did Nicole owe them? Hmm, Ling has lost count of how many times the other party has borrowed money from the other party. Each time, he has done a lot of big work for them. The commission fee he currently owes is no longer a small amount. Although I still believe in Nicole's character, given the current situation of Cunning Rabbit House, the road to repaying the debt can be said to be a long and arduous one.

Their Phaethon account is gone, and there is currently another Fairy stealing electricity bills every day. The video store is almost making ends meet, so they can only make ends meet by accepting new commissions.

At present, Suzuya hopes that Nicole, who has joined the establishment, can pay back the money quickly.

Moreover, when Nicole completes this lawsuit against Vision Enterprises on behalf of the residents of Canvas Lane, she will definitely receive a large bonus. Whether it is for justice or for her family's finances, Ling cheers for her from the bottom of her heart.

"Forget it, Ling, what should we eat tonight?"

After the three people left completely, today's [Random Play] business activities came to an end. Zhe was going to close the shop and take his sister out to eat.

Although the store also has a temporary area for cooking, they mainly use simple tools such as induction cookers or gas stoves. Although Zhe and Ling can both cook some simple dishes.

But the food outside is still better, and it doesn’t require their efforts, troublesome end-game handling, or infighting over who should wash the dishes, so they often eat out, especially on this street where the food is the best. It’s the Koi Ramen restaurant run by Qiao Pu’s father.

"Koi Ramen, it's been a long time since we went to Daddy Qiaopu's place to eat ramen!"

Hearing that her brother was going to take her out to eat, Ling immediately suggested.

"Okay, then let's go to Master Qiaopu's place to eat tonight, but wait a minute, I'll close the shop first..."

Just when Zhe was about to lock the store door and change the business status to closed, a familiar middle-aged man's voice came into his ears.

"Hey, are the two store managers going out? They closed the store so early."

"Eh? You are... a shepherd."

"It's Mr. Shepherd, brother."

Hearing the familiar voice of a middle-aged man, Ling and Zhe looked back together and saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue suit and a top hat standing in front of their store saying hello.

Although the other party was disguised, Zhe and Ling, as long-term partners, immediately called out his identity [Shepherd].

Although it is not his real name, just a code name, they are also frequent partners, and the other party also knows the identity of [Phaethon]. He was also very sad that Phaethon's account was maliciously destroyed by hackers not long ago.

However, after hearing that Zhe and Ling, the two magical store managers, were still there and had not been taken away, the shepherd breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, as an intelligence agent, he naturally needs good helpers and partners, otherwise many commissions, no matter how generous the rewards, will end up in his hands. The brother and sister Phaethon were his chosen long-term partners. While they had strong business capabilities, they were also well-informed and principled, which made him very reassured.

As an intelligence agent, you can't just look at business capabilities. It's also important to control the character of your partners. After all, he didn't want to be suddenly betrayed one day. Therefore, even after Ling and Zhe re-established their accounts, Shepherd, a famous intelligence agent, did not abandon them, but tried his best to help them grow up again and return to their status as legendary rope makers.

Therefore, the three of them can be regarded as trustworthy partners for each other.

However, what surprised Zhe was why did the shepherd come to his shop? And it was also at this time, deliberately chosen when no one was around...

This situation is very unusual. In the past, even if there was an urgent task, the shepherd would use his mobile phone to communicate, or contact him to deliver information to the coffee shop, instead of visiting directly.

So Zhe felt a little puzzled by the shepherd's behavior today.

Seeing Zhe and Ling's doubts, the shepherd pointed to the bustling streets around them. He did not speak here, but motioned for them to go to a safe place. Zhe and Ling naturally had no objections to this either.

The group of people walked along the alley near the street, then passed through the iron gate, and walked around to the garage behind the [Random Play] video store, which was considered a safe place.

After looking around and confirming that this was indeed a hidden area, the shepherd confidently told Zhe and Ling about his emergency situation.

I saw the other party suddenly grabbing Zhe's shoulder without any concern for his image, which made Zhe's expression startled. Then he looked doubtfully at the middle-aged uncle in front of him. At this moment, he was staring at Zhe anxiously, and then spoke Said eagerly.

"Listen, old friend, I'm in very difficult trouble now. Only you can save me this time... Otherwise, otherwise, I may really have to quit the intelligence business."

Because the situation was urgent, the shepherd changed his usual calmness and shouted loudly to Zhe without caring about the fact that he was an adult.

This sudden shout, at such a close distance, made Zhe feel a little confused, but he looked helplessly at the anxious middle-aged uncle in front of him.

"Okay, okay, keep your voice down, otherwise people outside the alley can hear it, and it won't be a secret."

"What happened? It scared you so much that you even came to me."

Seeing the state of the shepherd, Zhe could confirm that the other party had obviously encountered some tricky difficulties this time, otherwise he would not have made such an inappropriate move in front of them.

Although he just ended a series of messy troubles and didn't want to get involved in any dangerous things again, but considering his long friendship with the shepherd, he was willing to listen and consider whether to help.

"I'll make a long story short..."

Seeing that Zhe was willing to listen to him, the shepherd breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to recount what happened to him during this period, in short.

"I didn't hesitate to offend my peers to grab a lucrative commission, but I can't find a suitable rope maker to take over."

"And this job involves a lot of things, and it requires the rope maker to meet with the client. Can I ask you for help? Of course, in order to cover up your identity, I have already designed a set of perfect disguise identities for you!"

Listening to the increasingly excited words of the shepherd, Zhe asked with some doubts.

"After laying so much groundwork, you actually took on a difficult business, so you need our help? You even want us to meet with the client? I choose to refuse such a risky thing."

Although I have a good relationship with the shepherd, it is different from the sincere friendship between Mo Yu, Nicole, and Nekomata. They are at most an intelligence dealer and a rope maker with each other taking what they need from the shepherd. After all, the rope maker completes the task, and the middleman also gets the profit.

Meeting an unknown client for the shepherd, this kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel safe.

"You should find another way." It just so happened that Ling thought so. Life has just settled down, and she doesn't want to take risks again.

"No, no, you two little ancestors. The reward for this commission is really very generous, enough to be ten times the previous one!"

"Ten times?!"

Hearing this amount, Ling, who was originally ready to refuse with righteous words, suddenly stopped, and then repeatedly confirmed: "Is it really ten times?"

"It's absolutely true, okay, this time the client is not short of money! And this time it's not just a matter of money. If you help me do this commission, I will give you 20% off on all the next intelligence, how about it?"

In order to get the brother and sister to take action, the shepherd simply bleeds a lot.

You know, for intelligence dealers, intelligence is the most important thing, and the sincerity of this 20% discount is not small.

And the effect is also very significant. After hearing that the commission reward this time is ten times, the brother and sister, who have been short of funds recently, suddenly changed from the original firm refusal to wavering.

Ten times! That's ten times!! Enough to support them and Fairy for half a year. With this money, they don't have to live a hard life every day! Zhe's games and Ling's toys can also be bought.

So there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved with sincerity. If there is, it is that your sincerity is not in place. Obviously, the shepherd's sincerity is in place this time.

"..."

The brother and sister looked at each other, then turned their backs and began to discuss in a low voice.

After a few minutes, they turned around and looked at the shepherd who was expecting, and then Zhe spoke in a deep voice.

"Although we don't want to accept such a random commission, we are also old partners, so we decided to help you take a look."

"But let me make it clear first, we are just going to take a look. As for whether to accept it, we have to see the client."

"... Enough, this is enough!"

Hearing Zhe's words, the shepherd was immediately ecstatic, and didn't care about the second half of the other party's words at all, and immediately promised.

"Okay, it's a deal, you go back and rest for two days, just wait for my news. I believe you will cooperate happily!"

"Alas..."

Without giving Zhe the opportunity to continue asking for details, after getting the rough assurances of the two, the shepherd left happily. He planned to go back and prepare for the next thing, as if he had confirmed that the brother and sister would definitely complete the commission.

"Brother..."

Seeing this, Ling looked at Zhe beside her with a puzzled expression and asked: "Will there be any problems?"

"I don't know... But I believe that the shepherd will not harm us. When I meet him, I will pretend to test him a little. After we really meet, we will consider whether to do this task, how about it?"

"Yeah." Hearing Zhe's words, Ling nodded slightly.

However, although it sounded like everything was ready, for some reason, she always had a bad premonition in her heart.
