"...Got you."
Just as Teppei was about to be pierced clean through by the kitchen knife, a large hand appeared out of thin air and effortlessly caught the blade.
"Hmm?"
The black-robed figure opposite him was somewhat surprised. "You actually caught Cinderella's blade without getting hurt..."
At this point,
the other party subconsciously looked up.
And with that glance, he immediately saw Fang Mo standing there, smiling at him. His entire body trembled as though he had seen something unbelievable, and he cried out, "H-How is this possible?!"
"...It's you?"
After a brief daze, Teppei came to his senses as well. He still felt lingering fear. "Are you Fang Mo, IGO's newly appointed Vice President?"
"We meet again, Teppei."
Fang Mo chuckled and turned to look at him. "How has your grandfather been lately? Is he doing well?"
"Uh, he's fine..."
Teppei answered almost instinctively.
"Th-That's impossible!"
But after only a few exchanges, the black-robed figure shouted again. "You... You should be in Gourmet Metropolis, maintaining that whatever field of yours! How could you suddenly appear here?!"
"Oh, you mean that?"
Hearing this, Fang Mo slowly turned to look at him. "Since there can be one body controlled by two consciousnesses, there's no reason I can't use one consciousness to control multiple bodies, right... Joya?"
"What did you say?"
The black-robed figure opposite him was visibly stunned.
"Since your identity has already been exposed, can we stop wearing that black robe?" Fang Mo ignored him and reached for the robe. "You're cosplaying The Boys or something? Got tumors, so you're dressing like this?"
"Riiip!"
As Fang Mo tore at it, the black robe around the figure shattered into countless fragments, revealing the true face hidden in the darkness.
She was a tall, well-proportioned woman with fair skin and delicate features.
