They Were Watching the Drama Without Her?

The hand he was holding pressed affectionately against his palm, as if what she had just done was a trivial matter that could be easily handled.

Lin Mo glanced at Madelyn, who had collapsed behind the desk.

A subtle thought popped into my mind: after all this time, this woman still ended up dying under the Heat Vision of her Homelander.

However, having Joanna do it was probably just a little bit of his mischievous pleasure.

Just then, the system's voice sounded.

[The premature death of the important plot character Madelyn Stillwell has been detected.]

[The host has caused a significant alteration to the world line.]

[Gained Energy Points: 250]

[Current Energy Points: 1,065,600]

Lin Mo's face darkened as he looked at the Energy Points displayed by the system.

Why is this Madelyn worthless? Giving it 250 is only worth half a Clara. What bad luck!

He silently grumbled a few times to himself, but something was better than nothing; even a mosquito bite was still meat.

Maeve looked at Madelyn, who had collapsed, and let out a soft breath.

I just saw this woman; she actually survived the injection.

She was still wondering if Lin Mo would keep the person here temporarily because of this.

In retrospect, she had been overthinking things.

Moreover, Joanna acted swiftly as always, not even giving Madelyn a chance to continue speaking.

Maeve didn't seem to have any objections to this.

After all, she still remembered what that woman had just said.

To secure their own position, they shipped Compound V overseas, preparing to create a supervillain.

As for what trouble ordinary people might encounter as a result, Madelyn clearly didn't care much.

Such a person, who suddenly gains superpowers, is a disaster for ordinary people.

It's good that it's resolved; it saves us from causing any more trouble later.

The A-Train beside her wasn't as calm as she was, staring at the motionless body behind the desk.

He subconsciously swallowed, and cold sweat poured down his back.

Madelyn.

At the company, I'm always giving them orders and instructions, and I can talk a lot of different things.

And that's how it happened.

There wasn't even time to say a few more words.

The A-Train is now truly grateful that he honestly confessed beforehand.

I didn't intend to cover for Madelyn, nor did I try to make up any excuses.

otherwise...

He glanced at Joanna, then quickly looked away.

This outcome might be something they have to face themselves.

Although he felt much stronger than before after injecting the Original Compound V,

But whether they've become much stronger or not is clearly a different matter from whether they can withstand the two opponents in front of them.

The A-Train was well aware of this.

As for outside the door, Annie had already raised her hand and covered her mouth tightly, her eyes wide open.

She saw the whole thing, even though she was some distance away and her view was partially blocked by the doorway.

But the red light that flashed in Joanna's eyes, and Madelyn's sudden collapse, along with the mess that left the office in, all contributed to the chaos.

She saw it all clearly.

In an instant, the woman who was just talking was gone.

Annie knew Madelyn wasn't a good person; what she'd overheard outside the door was enough to make her feel disgusted with the woman.

It's like knowing the other person is doing something bad, or watching them die right in front of you.

Ultimately, the feeling it evokes is somewhat different.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

I just took a few steps back and shrank to the corner near the stairs, my mind still a bit of a mess.

In the office, Lin Mo had already averted his gaze.

He glanced at the scattered debris on the floor, then at the area behind his desk, and frowned slightly.

The problem of finding people has been solved, but the office is now in a rather messy state.

And with the smells wafting around, it's definitely not a suitable place to continue chatting.

Besides, we can't just leave this woman here forever.

We need to find someone to handle this.

Who should we look for?

Lin Mo took out his phone almost without thinking.

For something like this, you should definitely ask Ashley.

Anyway, nowadays, besides arranging some work for herself, she basically just deals with all sorts of troubles for him.

And using it is surprisingly stress-free.

The call was answered quickly.

"Mr. Lin Mo?"

Ashley's voice came from inside.

"Come to Madelyn's office."

Lin Mo said it directly.

"I have something I need you to handle."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Ashley immediately agreed, and after hanging up the phone, she turned to look at Hughie and Robin beside her.

A smile returned to his face.

"Excuse me, you two."

"Mr. Lin Mo wants to see me about something."

"You all take a rest first, I'll continue the introduction when I get back."

She was just introducing Vought to the two of them, after all, he was an ordinary person who was personally invited by Lin Mo to work here.

So far, she hasn't actually met many of them, although the specific arrangements haven't been officially finalized yet.

But there's clearly no need to worry too much about their future.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that Ashley wasn't envious.

Being noticed by Lin Mo is far more useful in Vought than having any impressive resume.

However, as much as I admire them...

She also needs to do her own job well.

Shortly after, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Ashley had just stepped out when she noticed a figure at the corner of the stairs.

Golden hair, and that face I'd only seen a short while ago.

Annie?

What is she doing here?

And he seemed to be hiding from someone.

Ashley paused, about to ask a question, when Annie saw her first.

He then quickly raised a finger to his lips and gave her several winks.

Don't speak, and whatever you do, don't call her name.

Ashley understood the first half, but she didn't yet understand why.

However, this did not prevent her from cooperating.

She's someone Lin Mo appreciates, so she must have her reasons for doing this!

She gave Annie a reassuring look, and the corners of her mouth even turned up slightly.

I understand.

Although we don't know exactly what happened.

But given this state, could it be...?

What big news is there?

Ashley perked up immediately.

She deals with heroes' affairs all the time, so she's been exposed to all sorts of messy news.

Work is work, and gossiping is gossiping.

These two events evoked very different feelings.

She didn't know why Lin Mo had called her over in such a hurry.

With a touch of curiosity, Ashley walked down the corridor and soon spotted several figures outside Madelyn's office.

Lin Mo, Joanna, Maeve, and A-Train are all there.

Everyone was present.

The smile on her face suddenly became even more practiced.

"Mr. Lin Mo."

"You asked me to come here, is there anything you need me to do?"

Lin Mo glanced at her.

"Here."

As he spoke, he stepped aside, making room for him.

The area that he had been hiding was now exposed.

Ashley followed the gaze, and the smile on her face gradually froze.

The office, the desk, the person lying behind it, and the watermelon juice scattered on the floor.
