Little Hell Gets Cozy with the Girls. Peacemaker Is Coming to Lend His Support? (Two-in-One)

11 PM: "Has your acting always been this bad, Mr. Scarlet Spider?"

Mo Zhen looked helplessly at the Spider-Boy hanging upside down by the door, too embarrassed to call out his lame excuse.

Scarlet Spider's black eye sockets, made of nanomaterials, narrowed slightly. "Um... is it really that bad?"

"Hmm, come in."

Mo Zhen turned to the side, and Scarlet Spider swung in, performing a perfect somersault in the air before landing and handing Mo Zhen a small, slightly damaged cake.

OMG, sorry!

Scarlet Spider clutched his head, thinking, "I should have known better than to show off!"

The boy in front of him silently accepted the cake and sighed, "It's not that you can't eat it."

Scarlet Spider, somewhat embarrassed, pulled out a chair next to the other person's desk and sat down. "Um... actually, the main reason I came today was to ask you where you got so much money? Did you really earn it from the stock market?"

Mo Zhen rolled her eyes. "What if I said that a very beautiful and very rich heiress..."

"You're being kept by a sugar daddy, do you believe it?"

Scarlet Spider was shocked. "What?!"

"How much did she pay to keep you?! I'll give you double! We're men, men have dignity!"

Scarlet Spider panicked immediately.

Dude, how come you're actually driving a Range Rover? We agreed to stay single forever!

Waaaaah, you can't abandon your brother like this!

Mo Zhen: "... Is that the point? Okay, I was just kidding, I only invested in Colossus Interactive Entertainment's stock."

As he spoke, he opened his laptop and then opened the K-line chart of Colossus Interactive Entertainment.

Since Magical Girl Hell | announced its signing with Moon Studio and its debut with that title, Colossus Interactive Entertainment's stock price has risen by 15%.

Prior to this, Colossus Interactive Entertainment's stock had been sluggish for at least a year, and its gains even showed signs of being overtaken by the Owl Group.

The so-called "Owl Corps" refers to the superheroes under the Owl Group, led by Red Owl, with Scarlet Spider being one of them.

It can be said that the magical girl "Hell" single-handedly reversed the year-long slump in Colossus Interactive Entertainment's business.

That's where her true commercial value lies.

Stocks related to Hell are soaring, including other superhero and magical girl franchises from Moon Studio.

Because stock market investors always extend their affections to everything related to the company they own.

Scarlet Spider leaned closer, looked at the rising candlestick chart, and finally had no choice but to trust the other party.

But before leaving, he added, "Hey, if you run into any trouble later, remember to call me. Don't think it's a bother; after all, your friendly neighbor Scarlet Spider loves to meddle."

This guy...

Mo Zhen smiled helplessly, "I have a friend whose personality is a lot like yours; she also loves to meddle in other people's business."

Scarlet Spider's shoulders tensed instantly. "Uh... really? That's quite a coincidence, haha...!"

"Um... never mind, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

As it spoke, the Scarlet Spider shot out its silk and flew away from Mo Zhen's house, afraid that if it stayed even a second longer, it would give itself away.

Mo Zhen then closed the doors and windows and drew the curtains.

Afterwards, he took the family's washed clothes out of the washing machine, shook them out, and hung them to dry before going back to his room to prepare for bed.

"Beep beep."

Mo Zhen picked up her phone, puzzled.

He received a message from Wuhua, and he also heard Bai Xiaoxiao next door open the sliding window of her balcony.

Accompanied by a surge of magic.

Bai Xiaoxiao flew in one direction.

Mo Zhen looked down at the message.

Wuhua: "Something terrible has happened, Miss Hell! Today, when Xiaoxiao and I were attacked by the witch Bubble, something happened at the Ministry of Magic!"

"The Witches' Association attacked the place, resulting in injuries to Senior Xiaohong, who is currently unconscious in the hospital."

Mo Zhen frowned slightly and tapped the screen. "Give me the coordinates, I'll be right there."

Wuhua sent me the address of a hospital.

Mo Zhen then quietly went downstairs to the backyard, gently stroked the ring, and then covered his entire body with the Speedster Armor.

The deep blue lightning vanished from the street in an instant.

His speed was faster than Bai Xiaoxiao's Meteor Magic.

Once they arrived near the hospital, Mo Zhen set up Magic Curtain, unleashed her magic, and completed her transformation.

Then, she took the elevator to her ward on the fourth floor.

Soon, a girl with long gray hair pushed open the door and entered the ward.

Inside the ward: Lin Xiaohong lay on the hospital bed, already in a deep coma, while Wuhua and Tang Xiaoyu stood beside her, their eyes filled with worry.

The Miss Hell stared at the unconscious Lin Xiaohong, paused for a moment, then her voice turned icy. "Who did this?"

Normally, after a magical girl is forced into her transformation state, she will only fall into a state of exhaustion and will no longer be able to use magic to heal her injuries.

But Lin Xiaohong was so badly injured.

It was obvious that someone wanted to really kill Lin Xiaohong, so they used excessive force after she was forced into her transformed state.

The Miss Hell was furious about this.

Wuhua shook her head. "I'm sorry, Miss Hell, we don't know either..."

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao arrived late and landed on the balcony.

As soon as she entered the ward, tears welled up in her eyes upon seeing the unconscious Lin Xiaohong.

"Senior Xiaohong...!"

Hell had no time to comfort them at this moment. She raised her hand, ignited the silvery-white magic, and gently placed it on Lin Xiaohong's forehead.

About half an hour later.

Lin Xiaohong gradually regained consciousness from her severe injuries. Clutching her throbbing head, she looked at the three people beside her bed. "Where am I? Wuhua? What are you all doing here?"

"And Miss Hell...?"

Seeing that she was awake, Hell finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly extinguished the reversal magic in his hand, and asked, "Do you remember what happened?"

After spending time together, Miss Hell, though she didn't say it, had already included Xiaohong and the others in her protective circle in her heart.

With Wuhua's help, Lin Xiaohong sat up, clutching her bandaged head, and struggled to recall, "I... I remember that time, I was in a meeting with the minister and Mr. Merlin about my promotion to head of Tianhe City."

"At that time, the Ministry of Magic already knew that the Witches' Association be planning an attack on the Ministry of Magic, and therefore had increased its defenses."

"But... we didn't expect the attack to come so quickly."

"All I remember is that first, the Ministry of Magic's barrier was blown up, and then... something terrifying rushed in!"

At this point, Lin Xiaohong, still shaken, said with a pale face, "That familiar was at least A-level in danger!"

Upon hearing this, Wuhua and the others instantly felt tense... No wonder the Ministry of Magic suffered such heavy losses in this attack.

With the current combat strength of the Ministry of Ministry of Magic, an A-rank familiar is virtually invincible.

It's worth mentioning that in Taiping Prefecture right now, the only A-rank magical girl seems to be Miss Hell.

Moon God, also an A-rank, has been staying in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Magic City due to her strained relationship with the Ministry of Magic.

Despite having a good relationship with the Ministry of Magic, the A+ rated Eclipse did not expect the Witches' Association's attack to come so quickly.

She was still in Europe dealing with the cult of evil gods there, and when the Ministry of Magic was attacked, she simply didn't have time to get back.

Come.

In the end, Lin Xiaohong and several B+ rank magical girls stationed at headquarters had no choice but to hastily confront the A rank familiar, and the result was self-evident.

They risked their lives to severely wound and repel the enemy, even sacrificing one of the children stationed at their headquarters.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaohong's eyes reddened, because the other party had had their head bitten off by that familiar in order to buy her time to unleash her ultimate attack...

Do you remember who the witch who controlled the familiars was?

Hell Asks the Question.

Lin Xiaohong clenched the blanket in her hands and shook her head. "The other party didn't show themselves and withdrew on their own later, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived."

Upon hearing this, Miss Hell lowered her eyes slightly, lost in thought.

She had a vague feeling that this matter was definitely related to her main storyline event.

The following day, Tuesday in Taiping Prefecture.

Miss Hell slowly woke up in Lin Xiaohong's bed. The three little Wuhua were still lying on the bedding on the floor next to her.

Yesterday, Lin Xiaohong chose to be discharged from the hospital early because she was worried about her younger sisters' safety.

Hell and the others were worried that Lin Xiaohong, who was temporarily unable to transform, would be hunted down by the Witches' Association, so they simply slept at Lin Xiaohong's house for the night.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight.

In another room, Lin Xiaohong's three younger sisters were still sleeping.

The Miss Hell rubbed her eyes and left the bedroom. She went to the toilet in the bathroom, sat down gently, lowered her head, and yawned softly.

After relieving himself of his physical needs, Hell picked up a comb in front of the mirror and ruffled the stray hairs that were sticking up.

The more she combed it, the more unruly the tuft of hair became, as if it were constantly provoking her...!

Hell, growing impatient, gave up.

When she arrived in the living room, she saw a figure wearing an apron, busily preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

It's Lin Xiaohong.

She wore a simple white shirt, her hair in a black ponytail, with her bangs secured with a red hair clip, making her look neat and cute.

Although she is only seventeen years old, Xiaohong has already taken on the responsibilities of a parent. Whenever she has free time, she is engrossed in taking care of her younger sisters' daily lives.

Good morning, Miss Hell.

Upon seeing Hell, Xiaohong looked up and smiled, pointing to the rice cooker and saying, "I made some red date and white fungus soup, would you like to try some?"

"OK."

Miss Hell nodded and sat down in the chair. Soon after, Xiaohong brought her a bowl of white fungus soup.

Knowing that Little Hell loves sweets, Xiaohong added some pre-cooked brown sugar water to the mixture.

Hell blew on the spoon, took a slurp, and his eyes lit up. "This is delicious!!"

The brown sugar water was the perfect finishing touch; how could she not have thought of that?!

I've learned a lot.

Miss Hell secretly learned his skills.

Xiaohong scratched her face and smiled sheepishly, "Really? Then drink more!"

She was very happy to have gained Miss Hell's approval.

At this moment, Xiaohong saw Miss Hell's messy gray hair and her eyes lit up. She went to the bathroom to get a comb.

After obtaining the consent of the Little Hell.

She combed the other person's long hair with great satisfaction, feeling as if she were grooming a well-behaved and adorable gray kitten.

Hey-hey...

After combing her hair, Lin Xiaohong gently ruffled Little Hell's hair. "You're super cute today too, Miss Hell."

"Hmm? Thank you..."

Hearing her words, Miss Hell's ears turned slightly red.

She's never shy when she's in a boy's body, but when she switches to a girl's body, she blushes very easily...

Lin Xiaohong looked at the kitten's reddened ears and smiled without saying a word.

The Miss Hell is a character with extremely high attack and very low defense...

Cute!

After that, Bai Xiaoxiao and the other two gradually woke up in bed.

Because Lin Xiaohong had not yet regained her transformation ability, everyone stayed and took leave instead.

Xiaohong was extremely embarrassed. "I'm sorry... I made you take time off because of my situation."

Upon hearing this, Hell helplessly pointed to Bai Xiaoxiao and her two friends, who were already playing with Xiaohong and the others. "Not necessarily. They're happier at your house than at school."

Hell thinks that the fact that magical girls generally don't want to go to school should also be attributed to this messed-up world.

A group of girls who haven't even grown up yet, have to fight witches at night and go to school during the day, how could they possibly stay awake!

With all this exhaustion every day, it's no wonder I want to drop out of school.

Even the magical girls can't just lie down, because they have to constantly hunt down witches to obtain Grief Seeds.

Otherwise, the magical girls would be so anxious watching the Soul Gem turn black day by day that they wouldn't be able to eat or sleep.

Therefore, all the hype surrounding magical girls is false; it's actually a miserable, backbreaking profession.

Compared to superheroes, magical girls also risk becoming witches, which is incredibly tough and exhausting—it's practically a death sentence!

Miss Hell grumbled inwardly. Although she wasn't at risk of becoming a witch, she didn't want anything to happen to her sister or Wuhua.

After breakfast.

The morning news was playing on the television.

Good morning! Taiping Prefecture, this is your favorite host, Thomson. Let's take a look at the major events that happened in Taiping Prefecture yesterday.

"First: The Ministry of Ministry of Magic headquarters in Taiping Prefecture was attacked by the Witches' Association, and its magical barrier suffered devastating damage, with a large crack that has not yet been repaired."

"It is reported that three Russian officials from the United Government also died at the scene: Yacheslav Barannikov, Anton Yudintsev, and Nikita Buyanov."

"Following the incident, the Superhero Association immediately dispatched support to the scene to prevent the Witches' Association from taking advantage of the situation and causing another tragedy."

Let's take a look at the first-person interview from that evening.

In the footage, a reporter from the Taiping Prefecture Daily runs up to Scarlet Spider, who has just arrived at the scene, and hands him a microphone. "Mr. Scarlet Spider, what is your opinion on this terrorist attack by the Witches' Association?"

"Forehead...

Scarlet Spider scratched his head. "I think this is very bad behavior, and I'm also very worried about the magical girls..."

Before he could finish speaking, the reporters were drawn to the figure of a speedster, immediately abandoning Scarlet Spider and rushing to "Snowplow": "Mr. Snowplow..."

Hearing the reporters' questions, the Snowplow leader put his hands on his hips and shrugged in front of the camera. "I think the Ministry of Magic should make some appropriate changes, such as letting superheroes and magical girls cooperate instead of always going it alone."

"You know, magical girls are young, and they are prone to strategic miscalculations when fighting witches. If they could cooperate with superheroes, I think their casualty rate would be greatly reduced."

"This is also the opinion that our Colossus Company has been submitting to the United Government."

For Colossus Company, if they could achieve a deeper collaboration between superheroes and magical girls, the result would be a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

The public generally wants to see them join forces to fight criminals and witches.

But this essentially touches on the Ministry of Magic's command over magical girls, which is like military power in the army—it's extremely important.

Therefore, it has never been adopted by the Ministry of Magic.

The United Government lacked the authority to compel this independent judicial body, thus the matter remained stalled.

Just as the news was broadcast.

Miss Hell suddenly looked down at her phone; she had received a new message from Tang Wenjie.

As mentioned before, Titan Capital has been pushing for the Hell Kingdom's first round of financing and has been building momentum for it.

And now, this round of financing is ready.

For Colossus Company, from the first battle preview of Miss Hell, the Q&A interview, to the lipstick failure in the past two days, and the surge in orders across all platforms, everything has been remarkable.

All of this was groundwork they laid for this round of financing.

Colossus Company didn't care about the endorsement fee offered by Samidare Group, because it was really just a pittance to them.

What truly makes them big money is the financing and IPO they conduct after increasing Miss Hell's popularity and IP value through various means.

Financing: A common business practice in the financial world, where a portion of a company's shares, such as 5% or 10%, is split off and sold to other investment institutions and private equity funds to generate a large cash flow for business expansion.

Before securing funding, they also need to go through a round of valuation estimates from various accounting firms.

Only with the joint approval of major accounting firms will investors be willing to buy shares in a company according to its valuation.

If a company's pre-funding valuation is $10 billion, then in one round of financing, it can directly raise $500 million in cash flow by using 5% of its shares.

Tang Wenjie: "Guess what Hell Kingdom's pre-funding valuation was."

Hell: "...10 billion?"

She gave me a number that she thought was already terrifying.

But Miss Hell still greatly underestimated her commercial value.

Tang Wenjie: "Too few."

"PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, and Owl Group, among other accounting firms, valued Hell Kingdom at $100 billion in one round of valuations."

The Hell Kitty on the sofa was terrified and almost dropped its phone. "How much?!"

The accounting firms that Tang Wenjie mentioned are among the top firms in Taiping Prefecture, and even globally.

If Hell Kingdom's valuation reached a staggering $100 billion before the funding round... then in the subsequent first round of financing, Hell Kingdom could raise a staggering $5 billion in cash flow with just 5% of the shares!

In Miss Hell previous life, this amount of money would have been enough for her to eat lavish meals and live in luxury apartments for the rest of her life, and then frantically develop ten indie games!

How much did Titan Capital invest in "Hell Kingdom" in its initial stages?

A: Even including all the initial investments and uncalculated marketing and public relations costs, the total amount to date is less than $5 million.

In reality, most of the money was used for the repair and restoration of houses damaged after the battle with Miss Hell.

This brings us to a very interesting incident that occurred in the capitalist Taiping Prefecture:

In most cases, superheroes and magical girls will repair the damage and losses they caused during the battle at their own expense afterward.

The Taiping Prefecture government does not assume this responsibility, and sometimes even issues fines to those who cause damage to public facilities.

These seemingly strange rules are actually the most common aspect of the capitalist market.

Even now, if a superhero doesn't personally compensate the people for their losses after a war, his approval rating will plummet.

Imagine an ordinary person from Taiping Prefecture returning home from work to find their house and car, which they bought on installment, destroyed in a battle between superheroes.

Not only will they not receive compensation, but they will also have to continue repaying their bank loans... Their resentment will likely be immense.

This is also why many netizens in Taiping Prefecture have a negative attitude towards Superhuman. After all, if I don't dare to criticize you in real life, why should I be afraid of you online?

They pinned the blame for those superhuman criminals on all superhumans, regardless of whether they were heroes or villains.

They'll all curse; it's just something they say on a whim anyway!

Let's get back to the main topic.

In the most extreme scenario, if Titan Capital were to sell its 49% stake and cash out based on the current valuation...

Then they could get a return of $49 billion with an investment of only $5 million and less than a month of time!

Even before the news broke today, tomorrow people hoping to take over the shares will be bombarding Tang Wenjie's phone with calls.

There's no worry about selling them.

This is where Titan Capital, and even the entire superhuman market, makes the most money.

This is a game called "Capital" that's more profitable than gambling and drug trafficking.

As the only place in the world that allows superhuman companies to go public, Taiping Prefecture's special policy has attracted a continuous influx of capital from all over the world.

It's hard to lose money there.

Of course, nowadays, Colossus Company would never be willing to sell Little Hell.

Because according to Colossus Company's estimates, the commercial value of Hell is far more than just $100 billion.

According to their internal model calculations, as long as Magical Girl Hell can survive for two years without turning into a witch, then the market value of "Hell Kingdom" could easily exceed one trillion US dollars.

In contrast to her.

The peak market value of Magical Girl "Eclipse" was 800 billion.

Magical Girl "Moon God" | is: 600 billion.

Neither of the two individuals mentioned above are official employees of the Ministry of Magic; they merely maintain a strategic partnership with the Ministry of Magic and are subject to its orders.

As for Lin Xiaohong, unfortunately, she did not actually sign with any company.

Because after she awakened as a magical girl, she was directly taken by her senior and joined the Ministry of Magic's official squad.

Similar to the difference between civil servants and private entrepreneurs.

Hell: "I knew that fundraising in the superhuman market would be profitable, but I never imagined it would be this profitable."

She was still shocked as she read Tang Wenjie's message, because it was something completely illogical in her previous life.

But upon closer reflection, superhumans are already illogical enough.

Tang Wenjie: "Because magical girl anime series typically have short commercial periods, no magical girl anime series has yet broken the trillion-dollar market capitalization mark."

"The largest it could be is 800 billion from Eclipse."

"After going public, you might be the first magical girl to break the trillion-dollar market capitalization mark."

Hell taps the screen. "Let's hope so~"

For her, as long as she has enough fans who can continuously provide her with emotional energy to nurture the Tree of Calamity, that's enough.

Going public and raising funds is just a side effect; it's like making some pocket money for myself and also allowing investors like Colossus Company to profit.

Hell: "By the way, which companies participated in the financing?"

Tang Wenjie: "JPMorgan Chase, representing Wall Street capital; Tianxing Investment, representing Asia capital; and Owl Private Equity Fund in Taiping Prefecture, as well as several other firms, large and small, such as Goldman Sachs, SoftBank, and Tencent."

"Honestly, this is the first time I've seen so many capital giants and private equity firms in the angel round of a new magical girl company."

o

"The market's optimism towards you has far exceeded expectations."

"Furthermore, Chairman Moro also mentioned that for this Wednesday's angel investment, ' Peacemaker | will also take time out of their busy schedule to come all the way from South America to support you.'"

"He's always enjoyed these kinds of occasions and is happy to mentor the magical girls from his own company; it's a long-standing tradition in our company."

The girl was stunned for a moment after seeing Tang Wenjie's message.

... Peacemaker are coming?!

Although, judging from the timeline alone, she and the Peacemaker had only met recently, for Miss Hell...

Her life has undergone a complete transformation.

To the point that she now doesn't even know how to face the most powerful superhero in the open.

After all, her first meeting with the other party was because they needed her to give false testimony.

The two never saw each other again, as the Peacemaker were busy dealing with the Colossus Company's affairs in South America.

Fortunately, the Miss Hell now has her own backing, after all, she still has her invincible father supporting her.
