"However, because Night Star didn't take this matter seriously at the time, the [Godslaying] Squad couldn't arrive at the most crucial moment when the Variant was seriously injured."

"They indirectly caused the deaths of the Night Star's main fighting force!"

"Next, we will interview members of the public to see their opinions on this matter."

"Sir, what are your thoughts on this incident?"

"You damned Night Star Legion leaders! You've found the only way to lose two of Human Limit combat power!"

"I'm so angry!"

In a private hospital room, watching the various insults directed at the Night Star on television, both domestic and international, the old man lying on the bed frowned deeply, took a long breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Turn off the TV."

"A good father."

Wang Canxin nodded, picked up the remote, and turned off the TV.

"How so..."

Mr. Wang opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling. "I've only been away from the upper echelons for five years, why did this happen...?"

Sitting by the hospital bed, Wang Canxin adjusted his glasses. "This isn't your father's fault. Even if you weren't here, given the behavior of the Night Star's higher-ups, this kind of thing was bound to happen."

Wang's father gave Wang Canxin a disapproving look. "What? You mean you don't want this high-ranking position anymore?"

"Your father went through a lot of trouble to get you into such a high-level position at such a young age."

Wang Canxin smiled and shook his head. "No, Father, that's not what I meant."

"Hmph, brat."

Wang's father closed his eyes and said nothing more, and Wang Canxin sat silently by the bedside, watching over him.

"Father..."

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Canxin suddenly spoke.

"What is it?" Wang's father answered absentmindedly, lying on the hospital bed without opening his eyes.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to thank you."

The father opened his eyes in surprise, then smiled happily.

"Silly boy, I only made you a high-ranking official so you could take care of me in my old age. No need to thank me."

Although he said that, the joy in his aged eyes was still undeniable.

Wang Canxin looked at the other person, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but a smile still lingered on his lips.

"I'm so grateful to you. I didn't realize for so long why you ended up in the hospital..."

The father's brows suddenly furrowed. "What?"

"It's nothing." Wang Canxin waved his hand with a faint smile, then picked up the coffee beside him. "Drink up, Father, this is today's coffee..."

Great Xia.

Inside a luxury hotel.

Qin Fengfeng huddled nervously in bed, her gaze fixed on the window with the curtains not drawn.

"Who!"

Suddenly, she sat up abruptly, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily. After confirming that she had indeed misheard, she breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down.

She picked up her phone from the bedside table and checked the time; it was already 1 a. m., but she wasn't sleepy at all.

As I lay there, I began to recall the legendary experiences of the past few days.

To this day, she still doesn't know whether what she did was right or wrong.

After joining the newspaper's media company with Hela, Qin Fengfeng, encouraged by Hela, immediately began editing the videos Hela gave her and turning them into news reports.

In less than two days, a news headline appeared out of nowhere: "[Two Human Limit have died]".

After repeatedly confirming his safety with the company, Qin Fengfeng released the news with a mixture of fear and excitement.

Sure enough, the news quickly rose to the top of the trending topics list that day, and the sheer volume of traffic left Qin Fengfeng dazzled.

But after the initial joy came overwhelming fear; within a single day, Qin Fengfeng's account received hundreds, even thousands, of messages.

Many of these were issued by Night Star, and the number of lawyer's letters alone is too numerous to count on one hand.

However, the company kept its word and actually used many methods and resources to save Qin Fengfeng.

But the main reason is that the Night Star are afraid of letting the public know their panic and confirming the authenticity of this news.

After all, many people still don't believe it. If Night Star destroys the company in a fit of anger, it would only confirm the authenticity of this information.

So for two days in a row, Qin Fengfeng was perfectly fine.

However, just two days later, a video suddenly appeared on the internet, showing the deputy commander of Atan Country confirming the deaths of two Human Limit combat power.

This video is like a pot of boiling water poured onto hot oil.

This caused the already heated online discussion to explode.

The fact that these two videos, released from different countries, directly confirms the authenticity of the entire incident.

Those netizens and members of the public who initially did not believe the facts also changed their attitudes immediately.

Online opinions can be roughly divided into two categories.

One group consists of those Night Star, thinking it was just a minor mistake, a loss of two Human Limit, and that more would emerge in a few years.

But they had no idea just how difficult it was to cultivate a Human Limit combat power.

The second type, which represents the vast majority of people, naturally understand the importance of Human Limit combat power. They are utterly disappointed with the Night Star and launch a tirade of abuse on the Night Star ' official website.

Protests have even begun abroad, with people condemning the incompetence and folly of those Night Star.

Qin Fengfeng didn't really care about these things; what she was afraid of was that the Night Star had started to give up entirely.

They directly used their power to shut down the newspaper and media company.

Furthermore, all those connected to this news disappeared without a trace within a day, including the company's chairman.

If Hela hadn't run away from City A beforehand, found a hotel, and somehow changed his identity, he would have been fine.

Qin Fengfeng might already be seeing her grandfather.

Having gone through so much, Qin Fengfeng, an ordinary person, was already physically and mentally exhausted, but the intense panic made it impossible for her to fall asleep.

I was afraid that once I closed my eyes, I would never be able to open them again.

Just then, the tightly closed door was suddenly kicked open with a bang!

Qin Fengfeng sprang up from the bed with a somersault, then fell off, scrambling backward on her hands and feet.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!!!"

With her hands waving in front of her, Qin Fengfeng was trembling with fear.

The next second, a fair little hand grabbed the back of her collar and easily lifted her up with one hand.

"Ah!!"

Qin Fengfeng yelled and was about to grab the person who was holding her when she felt that the person was carrying her and running forward at high speed.

With a loud "crack!", Hela smashed through the hotel's floor-to-ceiling window and jumped down with Qin Fengfeng in tow.

Long, white hair floated in the air as the girl carried another person, appearing so pure and white amidst the shards of glass and the moonlight.

Her peach-pink eyes quickly glanced back in mid-air.

With a gentle wave of his free hand, a hand snapped off and flew inside the room.
