Translucent looked at Ned and Peter Parker's excited expressions and couldn't help coming up with an idea.

Translucent: "Are you two interested in appearing in my next movie?"

Ned and Peter Parker both stared at Translucent in shock.

Ned clenched his fists excitedly and pressed them against his cheeks. "A movie! We can be in a new superhero movie?"

Even the more reserved Peter Parker replied with an excited expression, "Yes, Mister Invisible Man, we'd love to!"

"Ha, as long as you're happy. The Invisible Man 2 project will be starting soon. I think you two can play some special background extras, very conspicuous little roles." Translucent winked at them.

Ned excitedly punched the air, imagining how cool he would look in the movie. "Really? That's amazing! My dream is to appear in a superhero movie!"

Peter Parker was a little shy. "Me too. Thank you, Mister Invisible Man!" Just thinking about his role in a superhero movie filled Peter Parker with anticipation.

Translucent smiled. "You're welcome. I'm glad I can help you make your dreams come true. I'll call you when filming starts. I'll arrange everything." With that, he took out his phone.

Upon hearing that, Ned's mouth fell open in terror, and he froze completely.

Peter Parker finally blushed as he left a phone number in Translucent's phone. After entering it, he said, "I don't have my own personal phone yet. That's my home number."

Translucent nodded, then looked at Ned, who was still frozen beside him.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh." Ned nodded wildly, then pinched the flesh on his arm and muttered, "It doesn't hurt?"

"Ah!" Peter Parker cried out beside him, swatting Ned's hand away and blowing on his own arm.

Translucent was amused by the scene as well.

"Hehe, I have a phone." As he spoke, Ned entered his phone number, then handed the phone back to Translucent with an uncontrollable grin.

On the way back.

"See, Peter." Ned repeatedly attacked Peter Parker with tiny punches, trying to cover up his excitement.

Peter Parker simply nodded in response.

"Sure enough, as Translucent's number one die-hard fan, even God has been moved by my dedication."

"Number one die-hard fan?" Peter Parker liked superheroes too, but not to that extent.

Ned stopped and solemnly said to Peter Parker, "That's right. I'm an elite member of the Superhero Fan Club." He even held up his phone to show Peter Parker his elite superhero badge in the club. Proudly, he said, "This is a custom-made superhero badge only elite members can get. I'm planning to turn it into a pin and wear it."

"So cool!" Peter Parker said enviously as he looked at the badge on the phone.

Hawke Group.

Nathan Hawke's office.

"Sure enough, when it comes to influence, it still has to be Translucent." Nathan Hawke looked at the data in his hands thoughtfully. Although Translucent hadn't appeared on the battlefield a month ago, the rumors had somehow turned into claims that he had used his invisibility to fight the evil aliens.

And that claim had spread wider and wider. Even Tony Stark couldn't help posting a video to ask whether the final battle had truly ended because of Translucent.

Moreover, under the promotion of Hollywood media and Nathan Hawke's New Era Media, Hawke Group's superheroes—Translucent and Alex Hassell—had become the face of Hawke Group. Of course, that was also because Translucent truly excelled at this sort of thing.

Every day, quite a few media outlets came to interview Translucent, asking for his views on the battle and his future plans. Translucent always answered with humor and wit, making people unable to resist liking this mysterious superhero.

In Hollywood's film industry, Invisible Man 2 was about to be released. Its presale box office had already set a historic high, and the fans' anticipation for the movie was obvious.

Translucent was not merely a superhero, but also a highly popular public figure. His humor, resilience, and sense of justice had earned the love and respect of countless people.

Besides being active in the film industry, Translucent also actively participated in charity events. He often visited sick children in hospitals, brought warmth to lonely elderly people, and did his part for environmental protection.

His positive energy influenced countless people, filling them with hope and courage for the future.

Translucent's career continued to grow. Sales of his personal licensed merchandise and related products soared. Translucent masks, T-shirts, dolls, and more were all put on the shelves, becoming the most popular products.

Everything related to Translucent was progressing steadily. He was not only Hawke Group's superhero, but also a respected and beloved public idol.

All in all, if Nathan Hawke hadn't known what this guy was really like, he might truly have been fooled by him.

Of course, the profits were enormous as well.

A six-pointed star descended, and a burst of light faded away.

"Balance is nothing but a lie. We are the true ninjas." A deep voice rang out.

Nathan Hawke raised an eyebrow when he heard that.

Whoosh!

A cold bladed gauntlet was pressed against Nathan Hawke's throat.

"Who are you? Where is this?" Zed asked in an imposing tone.

"This is another world. You were summoned here," Nathan Hawke said calmly.

"Another world?" Zed was filled with disbelief, but the surroundings made his senses realize that this place was indeed unusual.

"I'm leaving." Zed noticed that the person before him was unafraid of his actions, while also sensing killing intent hidden all around him.

Nathan Hawke nodded. "Fine. Once you're done looking around, come back." At the same time, he hadn't expected that this man, who looked like a villain but was actually righteous within, would be summoned by him.

Zed said nothing. He only gave Nathan Hawke a deep look, then looked at the suddenly opened door and the man standing there, cold and stern, radiating such a murderous aura that even Zed couldn't help frowning in surprise.

"Wesker, be alert and send him out." Nathan Hawke didn't care in the slightest about the bladed gauntlet only one centimeter from his neck.

Wesker shifted slightly aside, and Zed swiftly turned into a black shadow and rushed out.

Wesker turned back and glanced at Nathan Hawke.

Nathan Hawke chuckled. "Stop looking at me. He'll come back."

After arriving in the Marvel World and leaving behind the familiar Runeterra and Ionia, Zed felt the differences of this brand-new world. New York's bustling traffic, skyscrapers soaring into the clouds, and busy streets made him feel dizzy and unfamiliar.

He disguised himself, no longer wearing his signature black ninja outfit. Instead, he blended into the crowds of this unfamiliar city, trying not to attract too much attention.

"This place is more like Piltover."

As Zed walked through the streets of New York, he saw many strange things and people. Completely unlike the Runeterra and Ionia he came from, the people here lived different lives and possessed all kinds of technologies and abilities. He saw neon advertisements on towering buildings, aircraft darting across the skyline, and all sorts of performers filming videos on the streets. Everything left Zed shocked and curious.

He decided to explore this world and learn about its people and culture.

In a park in New York, Zed came across a group of children playing. He noticed that they were enthusiastically discussing superheroes. In their eyes, Zed saw reverence and affection, as though these heroes were the heroes in their hearts. Zed couldn't help recalling his past in Ionia, the elders he had admired as a child, and those legendary heroic figures.

"Does this world have heroes too?" Zed walked up to the children and asked.

"Yes, this world has lots of superheroes too. They protect people's safety and safeguard peace." A little girl saw Zed arrive and, without the slightest sense of unfamiliarity, answered with exceptional confidence.

Hearing that an adult also liked superhero topics,

the children excitedly gathered around Zed and told him stories about heroes. They spoke of the heroes they knew, including Iron Man, Translucent, Electro, Super V, and more. Zed listened with great interest, a flicker in his eyes...

Through his conversations with the children, Zed learned that a great battle had taken place in this city just a month ago. Yet through these children, Zed also felt the warmth and kindness of this world. Although he had once been the master of the Shadow Order and had a complicated past, he did not wish to see this world descend into chaos and war. He secretly resolved that no matter where he was, he would protect those who needed protection and pursue peace and balance.

A day passed. Zed experienced much in this unfamiliar world and met some "little friends." He felt his longing for balance and his pursuit of justice. He understood that he was no longer merely a Kinkou Assassin, but an existence that transcended boundaries.

When he discovered that Nathan Hawke, the man he had met, was actually the boss of Translucent, Electro, and Super V.

Hawke Group.

Nathan Hawke's office.

Nathan Hawke looked in surprise at the white-haired, muscular man before him. "What? You want to become an idol too?"

"An idol?" Zed looked confused.

Nathan Hawke suddenly choked. "Cough, cough, cough." He then adjusted himself and said, "Uh, a superhero. You're saying you want to become a superhero too?"

Zed nodded solemnly. "That's right. I want to become a superhero."

Nathan Hawke began to have doubts.
