The windows of a penthouse in Sands City offer perfect ocean views.

Han Xueli lay on the sofa and said sadly to Li Xingran: "Xingran, I am really jealous of you..."

Li Xingran was a little confused: "Why?"

Han Xueli raised her head, her eyes full of envy: "Because you are about to be promoted to an S-class hero, and you are the first one in the Peninsula Federation!"

"Haha, is it because of this?"

Li Xingran, who finally understood what Han Xueli meant, smiled awkwardly and shook the iced mango juice in his hand gently.

"I'm jealous of you, S-level... I also want to be S-level..."

"It's just a change of one letter. It shouldn't bring much change, right?" Li Xingran said casually while stirring the ice cubes in the juice with a straw.

Han Xueli shook her head at her and said seriously: "How can you say that? The changes brought about by becoming S-class are huge! The most obvious one is the change in status. In people's eyes, S-class and A-class are completely different Two worlds.”

"Is that so? I don't know... Well, if you are promoted to S-class, it will indeed bring a lot of benefits to your family's group."

Li Xingran knew that while Han Xueli was a hero, she also ran a company. For her, heroic activities were not only for a sense of justice, but also to shape the company's image.

"Yes, I also hope to improve my rating, but only if I have a strong opponent." Han Xueli sighed and said, "The villains and weirdos here in Sands City are too weak. Where are there any opponents worth fighting? What if I It would be nice to meet someone like Yuying."

When Han Xueli suddenly said the name "Yuying", Li Xingran was stunned for a moment.

Seemingly not noticing her expression, Han Xueli continued to speak: "Ah! Why don't you take this opportunity and apply for transfer to Seoul? Anyway, there are not so many bad guys here in Sands City. Xingran, if Yuying next time If he shows up again, can I deal with him?"

"...No." Li Xingran subconsciously refused.

"Um?"

Seeing Han Xueli tilting her head in confusion, Li Xingran realized what he had said and quickly explained: "No, because he kept asking me to go over by name when he caused terrorist incidents. If someone else showed up, he might do something Some unexpected things, and... uh..."

Han Xueli smiled after hearing this and didn't seem to care too much: "Okay, okay, there's no need to be so nervous, right?"

Li Xingran sighed, but felt a little confused.

Why did she answer like this? Even she herself felt embarrassed for those words that blurted out without thinking, but why, when she heard that Yuying might fight heroes other than herself, she felt instinctive disgust.

...Yes, because she knows Yuying best, and she has been fighting Yuying for the longest time. Han Xueli may be injured when dealing with him. He is an unconventional and difficult to stop a terrorist, so she is worried about Han Xueli, so she and Yuying can only fight.

Yes, that's it!

Just as Li Xingran was thinking hard about the excuse he could give to someone, Han Xueli stood up and stretched.

"Xingran, I have to go to the company today. I have some things to deal with. I will be back soon."

"Huh? Then go quickly, I will wait for you to come back."

Han Xueli smiled and waved, her beautiful sky-blue hair tied in a ponytail swaying slightly with her movements, and left the apartment.

Li Xingran stayed there alone, still struggling with the problem just now.

Soon, Han Xueli arrived at the company building.

As soon as she entered the company, her face instantly became cold and serious, with a cold look, as if she was a different person.

When she walked in the corridor with a completely different expression from Li Xingran, the employees greeted her one after another.

"Good morning, boss."

"Good morning."

She nodded slightly in response, but her face still didn't express much.

When she stepped onto the top floor, the entire atmosphere became obviously depressing. Unlike the excitement and brightness downstairs, there was only peace and depth here.

She walked out of the elevator and gently untied her hair, which was originally tied into a ponytail. Her footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

Soon she came to the office and said to the bodyguard standing at the door: "Don't let anyone in when I'm at work, do you understand?"

"Okay, miss."

After hearing the bodyguard's robotic reply, she walked into the office.

Her office was spacious, larger than the living room of most houses. In this empty space except for her, she walked to the window, sat down with her back against the window, and took a deep breath.

"call……"

There were piles of documents on the table. She picked up one at random and began to read it carefully. The ballpoint pen in her hand crossed over the documents, leaving clear handwriting.

Just like that, Han Xueli lowered her head quietly and focused on the work in hand.

She didn't know how much time passed before she put down her pen, picked up a cup of coffee, and took a sip.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and asked softly: "Are you just sitting there like this? Are you not going to say something?"

Her voice echoed in the empty office.

At this moment, a man's voice sounded from in front of her.

"It seems like you finally have time now?"

Han Xueli looked up and found that there was one more person in the originally empty office.

This is a man wearing a black hat and black cape. His gray mask covers half of his face, sitting on a chair prepared for guests.

He smiled slightly at her and introduced himself: "Hello, Han Xueli, my name is Yuying. Nice to meet you."

After deciding on the plan, Lin Ange came to Jinsha City vigorously. At this moment, his eyes were observing Han Xueli in front of him.

She was sitting at her desk, drinking coffee, with an indifferent expression, as if she had anticipated his arrival.

...If her slightly trembling hands didn't betray her.

In fact, just when she was yawning while working, she noticed Lin Ange's arrival, and then pretended to be understanding.

Lin Ange found it interesting to see how she was obviously shocked, but pretended not to see anything and continued working, deliberately waiting for a while before speaking to him.

She spoke in such a calm tone that it was hard to believe she was speaking to a weirdo villain who had intruded into her personal space.

"Hello, Han Xueli, my name is Yuying, nice to meet you."

When Lin Ange greeted her with a smile, she nodded reservedly.

After taking a sip of coffee, Han Xueli said, "So, why are you here? Are you finally ready to surrender?"

Speaking of this, she showed a bright smile, and Lin Ange responded with the same smile.

"Haha, surrender, how could that happen? I'm here because I'm very interested in you, the eldest lady of the Yaoyang Group who pretends to be a hero and attempts to become the actual ruler of the Peninsula Federation. Your story is really fascinating."

"Oh, really? It seems that Yuying, who pretends to be a villain, secretly takes care of Xingyuan and protects the Peninsula Federation, is here to cooperate with me this time?"

So, for a while, the laughter of the two people rang out in the spacious office.

After a long burst of laughter, at a certain moment, the two fell silent at the same time, as if they had formed some kind of tacit understanding.

"...Great, great, Han Xueli, it seems that you are indeed a smart person."

"You also surprised me, Mr. Yuying, where did you get this information? It is obviously impossible for them to be leaked."

Lin Ange smiled lightly and folded his hands on his chest: "Haha, there is no airtight wall in the world, right?"

The atmosphere in the office seemed harmonious, but both of them knew that it was just a superficial harmony.

Lin Ange stared at the woman with long light blue hair in front of him. She looked like a cold cat at this moment.

Her identity is numerous and complex, making it difficult to fathom.

On the one hand, she is one of the three A-level heroes of the Peninsula Federation and a colleague of Xingyuan. She carries out heroic activities under the name of "Frost Heart", sits in Sands City, and scares the villains and weirdos nearby.

On the other hand, Han Xueli is also the third-generation heir of the Yaoyang Group, the second largest enterprise group in the Peninsula Federation. She has outstanding beauty and a prominent family background, but after awakening her ability, she chose to live as a hero. This decision made Ben She is known as the eldest daughter of a chaebol and attracts even more attention.

Although citizens generally hold prejudice against chaebols, Han Xueli's heroic image in the hearts of the people is unbreakable.

Although she came from a wealthy family, she did not indulge in pleasure. Instead, she chose to become a hero and protect everyone with her own power. Her beauty and smile won her countless praises and love.

However, all this is just her appearance.

She pretends to be an innocent woman, but actually harbors a dark secret and is ambitious to control the entire Peninsula Federation from behind.

Her heroic activities are also designed to hide her true intentions, manage her image, and establish ties to the Hero Association.

In fact, she has now integrated all the power of the Yaoyang Group, and after the self-destruction of the Zhitu Group, she has become the head of the country's largest chaebol.

In the original work, she took advantage of the gap between the president's resignation and gradually encroached on the political world, constantly expanding her influence.

Eventually, she became the de facto ruler of the Peninsula Federation, changing laws at will and even free to appoint a presidential candidate.

At this moment, she was sitting quietly in front of Lin Ange.

Seeing Lin Ange sitting there with her legs crossed and smiling leisurely, Han Xueli seemed a little helpless.

She sighed and finally said: "...Okay, then, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing that she could no longer hold back, Lin Ange revealed his purpose: "Han Xueli, have you ever thought about establishing a 'cooperative relationship' with me?"

He knows very well that in this crazy world of heroic comics, the key to survival is to learn to use all available resources, not just to pursue light, but also to learn to use the power from darkness.

The secrets in the dark are not meant to be defeated, but to be exploited.

At this time, Li Xingran was resting leisurely at his friend Han Xueli's house when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"……what?"

She suddenly had a premonition that something very, very bad was happening...
