When the World Turned Its Fangs on Zoo
The next morning, the world woke up to whispers.
Not headlines.
Not accusations.
Confessions.
The Anonymous Truth
Encrypted messages began appearing across secure channels used by syndicates, intelligence agencies, and private networks.
Each message carried the same structure.
"From a comrade who survived."
"We were betrayed."
Attached were verified fragments:
Operation timestamps Port access logs Weapon signatures Internal Zoo communication formats
And a single, chilling conclusion:
The container was taken by an organization called "Zoo."
Members use animal codenames.
They manipulated every group present.
But Keith made one thing very clear.
Zoo wasn't just greedy.
Zoo was responsible.
The Final Push
Another leak followed—deadlier than the first.
This one contained Black Organization internal rage reports:
Transcripts showing fury over the stolen container Orders demanding retaliation against "Zoo" Confusion about how their spies were exposed Confirmation that Zoo had hijacked the operation
Keith never needed to say who leaked it.
The implication alone was enough.
The World Chooses a Target
By nightfall, the balance of power shifted.
Syndicates that had lost men during the ambush now had a name for their hatred.
Secret agencies that had buried casualties demanded someone to blame.
And for the first time—
Zoo had no shadows left to hide in.
One by one:
Trade routes closed to Zoo Black-market brokers refused contact Intelligence channels flagged every animal codename Independent assassins placed bounties without being asked
Zoo went from myth to mark in a single day.
The Black Organization's Fury
Inside the Black Organization, rage simmered.
They had lost:
Trusted operatives Long-standing intelligence assets Years of embedded control
And now—
Another organization had stolen their prize.
Zoo was no longer a rumor.
It was an enemy.
Yusaku Kudo — The Cornered King
Far from the chaos, in a sealed underground chamber, Yusaku Kudo stood alone.
Once, he had been untouchable.
Now—
His shipyard was gone His money streams were bleeding His embedded agents were exposed His key man—Sauternes—was dead His organization's name was spoken openly
Yes.
He had the container.
But the cost was unbearable.
The world knew Zoo.
And the world was angry.
Yusaku crushed a glass in his hand.
"So… you finally forced me into the light."
For the first time in decades—
The hunter felt the eyes of the jungle on him.
Keith's Quiet Aftermath
In France, Keith reviewed the final confirmations.
Red Queen spoke softly:
"All major syndicates and agencies have reclassified Zoo as hostile."
Keith closed the report.
No smile.
No celebration.
Only cold certainty.
"Good," he said.
"Now they'll tear each other apart for me."
Zoo had gained the container.
But lost everything else.
And Keith?
He had spent nothing but information.
The Board Is Set
Zoo was now:
Surrounded Exposed Bleeding resources And facing enemies on all sides
And the Black Organization?
Angry enough to move.
The jungle had noticed its loudest animal.
And the hunt had begun.
