Tianhe City.

Miss Hell had barely landed when Lin Xiaohong rushed over and hugged her tightly.

That was a pure grab; I couldn't dodge it.

Lin Xiaohong, her eyes red-rimmed, said worriedly, "Miss Hell, why didn't you tell me about something so dangerous..."

Behind her were the three jubilant Wuhua, who could sense the power of the Volcano Calamity Beast even through the screen.

Fortunately, everything is peaceful.

Lin Xiaohong regained her transformation ability at this time, and after asking Wuhua and the others to help take care of her younger sister.

He immediately transformed and rushed off to handle the aftermath of the Surt Incident, as the Ministry of Magic still needed to confirm whether the Shiratori Active Volcano was at risk of erupting.

If there is a risk, it must be reported to the United Government and treated as a Level 1 disaster.

Miss Hell, on the other hand, began her relaxation time. She took off her clothes in the bathroom, stretched lazily, and then started taking a bath.

After she finished her bath, Lin Xiaohong still hadn't returned, so Hell stayed up late with Wuhua and the others for a late-night snack.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Magic held an emergency meeting due to the conclusion of the Surt Incident.

Lin Xiaohong had just finished dealing with Surt's body, rushed over carrying her magic staff.

Merlin was leisurely sipping his black tea, suddenly spoke up, "Xiaohong, you're sitting in the wrong seat."

"Sorry, sorry!"

Xiaohong was taken aback, then remembered that she was now the person in charge of Tianhe City and should be sitting to the right of the minister, not in her original position.

After she took her seat, the meeting officially began.

Merlin Metal gave a routine briefing on the incident, and the United Government was very satisfied with their swift response.

Even the Minister of Ministry of Magic, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked much more relaxed.

If the monstrous beast Surt is allowed to enter the city, the resulting economic losses and casualties could amount to hundreds of billions.

The only thing that made her slightly dissatisfied was that Merlin chose to seek help from the Superhero Association in this incident.

This matter, while not a major issue, is not insignificant either, but it has a significant impact on the power held by the Ministry of Magic.

After all, the Ministry of Magic and the Superhero Association are essentially two different law enforcement agencies, one targeting super crimes.

The crime, targeting the magical world.

But now, the Ministry of Magic actually needs the help of the Superhero Association to handle matters that should be within their own responsibilities.

This is something that the leaders of the United Government and the public believe is worth investigating.

After all, the Ministry of Magic receives its annual budget from the United Government in the form of real money allocated from the national treasury.

The United Government would naturally think: if your Ministry of Magic can't handle things in the wizarding world, then why should we allocate so much funding to you?

In capitalist societies, once the power held by the Ministry of Magic begins to crumble, a slow death awaits them.

This is why the Minister of Ministry of Magic and Hu Xueting, along with their group, are so determined to maintain the authority of the Ministry of Magic.

However, the minister did not express his opinion on the Surt issue.

She seemed to have her own plans.

After the meeting regarding the Surt Incident concluded, the minister finally spoke, "Regarding the New Five Colors Project, each of you should draft a list and submit it to me tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the people in charge nodded in agreement.

After the meeting ends.

When Lin Xiaohong returned home, she found that Miss Hell was still awake.

The girl lay sprawled on the sofa, wearing cotton pajamas and shorts, her long, slender, fair legs swinging gently in the air. She was flipping through a book, the title of which appeared to be... Buffett Teaches You to Invest *.

The book cover features Buffett with his arms crossed, sporting a confident, old-money smile.

Xiaohong curiously leaned closer. "Investment?... Ah, I remember now, tomorrow is Miss Hell's fundraising meeting?"

The Miss Hell nodded, sat up, and casually tucked a strand of gray hair behind her ear. "The company just said that major accounting firms have urgently raised their valuation of 'Hell Kingdom' for financing."

"It has now reached three hundred billion US dollars."

With that, the girl closed the book, revealing a mysterious smile, "Who knows, by the time it goes public, it might break the trillion-dollar market value mark."

After the Battle of Surt, her fan base has grown significantly. Although she is still a ways off from the tens of millions mark in the third stage, she has definitely made progress.

In the capitalist Taiping Prefecture, money may not be everything, but you certainly can't do without it.

This is also why the young lady suddenly started reading investment books; after all, she is the chairperson of a company valued at hundreds of billions of dollars.

You can't go without learning about investing!

Xiaohong exclaimed in surprise, "Three... three hundred billion?"

She counted on her fingers; this amount was more than she could ever earn in her entire life. Was this the legendary stock market? How terrifying!

However, Miss Hell thinks this is normal.

After all, she nipped the monster Surt in the bud in front of a global audience.

Although the monstrous beast Surt still destroyed the Date Line Town, the casualties were much better than those caused by its landing in the city.

And after the battle ended.

Miss Hell received a message from Tang Wenjie that the Owl Group had fully compensated the residents of Date Line Town for their losses.

All I can say is that Mr. Red Owl is incredibly wealthy.

However, the thought of her older brother attending tomorrow's financing meeting made Miss Hell feel a little awkward, as he would definitely be there as Mo Jin'an.

Sigh... I'll see tomorrow.

Nothing happened that night.

The following day was Wednesday in Taiping Prefecture.

Hell slept until noon before slowly poking his head out from under the covers, his cheeks flushed red.

Rubbing her eyes, the girl went to the living room. Xiaohong's younger sisters had already been sent to school.

Lin Xiaohong wasn't home. He found a note on the Hell and learned that Xiaohong and the others had gone out on patrol and were expected to return in the afternoon.

After the monster incident, monsters appeared frequently, keeping the magical girls very busy.

Hell opened the insulated lunchbox, ate the food inside in small bites, and quickly finished it all.

Then she nestled on the sofa and sent her dad a message saying that she had slept at a friend's house the night before.

The message from Dad circulated twice before finally replying, "Be careful out there."

"Being a superhero is tough."

Clearly, her invincible father mistakenly believed that his son was addicted to being a superhero.

Who would have thought that his son was actually secretly working as a magical girl outside...

"Well...!"

Miss Hell blushed slightly and subconsciously exited the chat interface. No, no, just thinking about it makes me so embarrassed!

Absolutely, absolutely, I must not let anyone know my true identity.

Anyone who finds out, she'll kill them to silence them!

Hell was thinking menacingly in his heart.

The girl glanced at the time, then stood up, snapped her fingers lightly, and changed back into her magical attire.

Only then did he leave Lin Xiaohong's house.

Her Meteor Magic can now conceal her presence; simply put, she can drape Magic Curtain over herself and use it in conjunction with the Meteor Magic.

A moment later, Miss Hell gracefully landed on the back street of Mars Café and then pushed open the door to enter.

The shop manager blinked, and in just 0.1 seconds, he accepted the fact that magical girls would spawn in the back alley of his café.

Hell: "Boss, a thick latte, and then... matcha cake."

The store manager greeted us with a smile, "No problem, please wait a moment."

In the short time it took Hell to place her order, many customers had already turned their attention to Hell, because today was the day of a financing meeting related to her.

However, those who frequently visit Mars Café are mostly employees of nearby large companies who come out for a coffee during their lunch break, so they are all well aware of the privacy and unspoken rules of this industry.

So no one secretly took photos; they just whispered a few words about it.

"That kid must be Hell. I'm so lucky today, I finally got to see him in person!"

"She's even cuter than in the video! I really want to pat her head. I heard this young lady looks fierce, but she's actually quite shy in private, hehe..."

"Keep your voice down, don't let them hear you."

"Tang Wenjie is really lucky... This financing meeting alone must have brought him at least a million in bonuses."

"I wish I could sign up for such an amazing magical girl someday..."

Some studio members were sighing and lamenting, wishing they could immediately knock out Miss Hell, stuff her in a sack, and bring her to their own studio.

The superhuman market is actually quite volatile.

Within the Colossus Company alone, there are at least seven independent studios, each of which needs to compete for rankings internally.

However, Tang Wenjie's Moon Studio, relying solely on the golden brand of "Magical Girl Hell |", has already surpassed the combined performance of all other studios this year.

After all, with so many years of market development, truly talented and capable superheroes have long been discovered, leaving only mediocre ones.

That's why they envy the Moon Studio.

Hell, on the other hand, selectively ignored those voices, picked up her latte, and sat down at the seat the owner had reserved for her.

She then sent a message to Tang Wenjie, indicating that she had arrived.

Tang Wenjie: "Wait a moment, I'm gathering some documents, I'll be right out to get you."

Miss Hell turned off her phone and took a sip of her coffee.

The store manager approached with a matcha cake, smiling, "Congratulations, Miss Hell. I heard today is your company's first round of financing meeting."

His coffee shop is in a great location, so most of the customers are elites from various companies.

So, the store manager actually knew Miss Hell's identity from the second meeting, but out of politeness, he never took the initiative to greet her.

He only came to congratulate her today because he saw that Miss Hell was in a good mood.

"Thank you, manager."

As expected, the girl was in a good mood and gave him a slight smile.

The store manager nodded and left.

Shortly after, Tang Wenjie arrived at the coffee shop. After taking his seat, he explained the process of this round of financing to Hell.

In fact, Hell didn't need to go on stage at this fundraising event; he just needed to sit in the front row to show he was there.

After all, besides being a magical girl, Miss Hell is also the chairman of "Hell Kingdom," so she doesn't need to take the stage herself.

The task of giving the speech was naturally left to Tang Wenjie and Richard.

Suddenly, Tang Wenjie handed over a brand-new handbag. "This is the second business contract I negotiated today, still with Samidare Group, but this time the endorsement product is affordable luxury handbags. What do you think?"

Hell recalled his previous collaboration with the Samidare Group and, considering their generous payment, nodded in agreement.

"Sure, no problem, you can handle the negotiations."

While they were talking...

The gates of Colossus Company were already completely blocked by reporters.

Because the fundraising event that will be held this afternoon is currently the most controversial and representative fundraising event for the magical girl "Hell" on the entire internet!

Soon, the first van drove into the venue.

In the photos taken by reporters, the man getting out of the car was wearing a suit, had fair skin, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes.

This person is Conrad, the head of JPMorgan Chase's Taiping Prefecture region, and the manager of a trillion-dollar private equity fund.

Reporters snapped photos, remarking that their trip had been worthwhile.

Immediately following, a second car drove in.

Stepping out of the car was a handsome, refined, and well-mannered Huaguo dressed in a Zhongshan suit, which attracted a second wave of reporters taking photos.

He is Ye Liang, the head of Tianxing Investment, the largest private capital group in the Eastern Continent Alliance.

The size of the private equity funds he controls is comparable to that of Conrad.

It can be said that these two individuals and the capital groups behind them are the two major operators of the Taiping Prefecture superhuman market.

Almost every listed superhero and magical girl game has their investors behind it.

"My God, besides Conrad, even Ye Liang is here at this funding meeting!"

Just as the reporters were in shock...

A Rolls-Royce Spectre drove in, its license plate TH99999, which immediately startled the reporters present.

They started frantically pressing the shutter button.

Simply because that license belongs to the Owl Group.

As the only entity capable of challenging the Titan Colossus Company in the realm of superhumans, the prestige of the Owl Group goes without saying.

Its chairman, Red Owl, single-handedly confronts the Peacemaker's superhuman hegemonic status.

The rear door opened, and a well-built young man in a gray suit stepped out from the back seat.

Carrying his briefcase, he ignored the reporters' attempts to take pictures and walked straight into the Colossus Building accompanied by his secretary.

"Holy crap, who's that handsome guy? I've never seen him before!"

"Let me check, I found him! He's the newly appointed general manager of Owl Company, his name is... Mo Jin'an?"

Following Mo Jin'an, a succession of heads of large and small groups arrived, repeatedly surprising the reporters.

The reporters' camera shutters were practically numb from clicking so many times.

Holy crap, isn't this supposed to be Hell Kingdom IPO gala? Wasn't this supposed to be the angel round?

With these people sitting in Colossus Company, the "Hell Kingdom," valued at only one hundred billion US dollars, is like a little girl who hasn't grown up yet.

Some reporters started spouting nonsense. "Oh ho ho, wow, are there even big corporations fighting for custody of a little girl today? That's so exciting!"

"Damn it, bro, why does your mouth sound so off? Give me back the reputation of Miss Hell Financing Club!"

"Investing in Little Hell from the angel round, isn't that a kind of alternative loli-raising project?"

I'll electrocute you!

Just as the reporters were making a racket, a Maybach pulled up right in front of the door, and Tang Wenjie got out.

Instead of going directly into the building, he went to the back seat and opened the car door for the young lady inside.

"Holy crap, bro, thank goodness I didn't leave! It's the Miss Hell!"

The reporters went crazy; after all, everyone knows that "Magical Girl Hell" is the current code to online traffic.

She is at the center of both controversy and public opinion, and she is also the idol of countless teenagers.

More importantly, just yesterday, she personally dealt with the A-level Volcano Calamity Beast, Surt, which was capable of threatening Tianhe City.

Although Red Owl and Snowplow helped, without Hell, the casualties caused by this scourge would have been astronomical.

This morning, even the United Government included Magical Girl | Hell | in the battle report of the Surt Incident.

And along with Red Owl, he was ranked first in merit.

Amidst the clicking of countless cameras, the young lady, dressed in a deep red classic blouse and skirt, calmly stepped out of the car.

The young lady carried a platinum handbag, gently tossed her long gray hair, and walked into the Colossus Building with Tang Wenjie.

The reporters went wild, snapping photos of her from every angle; tomorrow's front page headlines depended on this!

"That bag looks like it's from the Samidare Group, right? Could it be that our young lady has signed a new endorsement deal? This is breaking news!..."

"Lord Hell, would you be a member of the Ministry of Magic's New Five Colors Plan?!"

Suddenly someone held up a microphone and shouted.

Miss Hell was taken aback by what she heard. She subconsciously looked at the young man who had raised the microphone, then raised her hand to signal the security guards to let him over.

Seeing this, Tang Wenjie stood aside, ready with his public relations rhetoric, because he was worried that reporters would try to trick him into revealing Hell.

The young man's face instantly turned red; he had thought he was going to be thrown out by security.

My fondness for Hell instantly surged.

Which newspaper are you from?

The Miss Hell, with one hand on her waist, asked the other person.

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately replied, "I'm from the Taiping Prefecture Daily, in the internship department! I just started this week."

Upon hearing this, the young lady finally answered his question, "I haven't received any news from the Ministry of Magic regarding the Five Colors Project, and I have no interest in joining."

With that, the young lady turned and left.

Only the excited young man remained, for Lord Hell had indeed answered his question!

Tang Wenjie glanced at the man, adjusted his glasses slightly, and instructed the security guard, "Keep a closer eye on him next time."

This time it was just a reporter, but what if next time it's a die-hard fan?

Thus, the grand press festivities outside Colossus Company came to a close.

Everyone was very satisfied because today they not only captured photos of financial tycoons gathered together, but also of the adorable Miss Hell.

Qualified reporters from some newspapers began to enter, while those from unqualified, lesser-known newspapers could only sit outside in the evening breeze and wait for secondhand information.

Unfortunately, the financing process was kept completely confidential; apart from qualified newspapers that could get in, they could only wait.

Inside the venue, however, the fundraising meeting had not yet begun.

As soon as Miss Hell stepped inside, countless investment managers and fund managers came up to her one after another, handing her their business cards.

Tang Wenjie accepted everything without question.

Miss Hell blinked slightly; it was her first time attending such a high-class occasion.

It can be said that the people in charge present here represent all the capital and companies in Taiping Prefecture.

Many small and medium-sized investors knew they were just there to participate in this round, but they still came, simply because this financing opportunity would allow them to network with more big names.

"Good evening, Chairman of Hell."

At this moment, Conrad and Ye Liang, the two heads of Jumbo capital, came to Miss Hell and offered her a toast.

Seeing this, Tang Wenjie took a glass of juice from the waiter next to him and handed it to Hell, introducing her as he did so. "This is Mr. Conrad, the global president of JPMorgan Chase, and this is Mr. Ye Liang, the global president of Tianxing Capital. They are both renowned financial giants in Taiping Prefecture."

"Our funding round today was also co-led by them and Owl."

"But the exact amount, I think we'll have to see how things go in a bit."

At this point, Tang Wenjie smiled and, on behalf of Miss Hell, offered a toast to the two of them, giving them ample face.

Conrad chuckled helplessly, "Don, you're still the same as always. You won't budge on the quota until the very last minute. I think I can congratulate you on your promotion to head of the Superhero Division in advance."

Ye Liang laughed loudly from the side, "When it comes to investment, I think we are still far behind you."

After yesterday's battle, the valuation of the Hell Kingdom by major law firms has now reached three hundred billion US dollars.

The 49% stake held by Titan Capital alone is worth $147 billion, and its return on investment is terrifying.

After Conrad and Ye Liang finished speaking, they took turns toasting Hell and then wisely stopped bothering each other.

Immediately afterward, Mo Jin'an bid farewell to his investors and approached Miss Hell, extending his hand to her. "Hello, Chairman of Hell, I am Mo Jin'an, General Manager of Owl Group."

The young man named Mo Jin'an was tall and slender with a perfect inverted triangle physique, which suited him exceptionally well in his black suit.

Hell was just about to shake hands with his older brother.

"Welcome, Mr. Mo Jin'an!"

Tang Wenjie suddenly grabbed the other person's hand first, and at the same time winked at Hell, before smiling and saying, "We were just talking about the Owl Group!"

"Yeah?"

Mo Jin'an smiled slightly, toasted them with a glass of wine, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then turned to leave.

Tang Wenjie then whispered to Hell, "That guy looks like a playboy. He's probably a rich second-generation from some powerful family. He must have a ton of girlfriends. He's definitely a scumbag."

"It's better to stay away from him, lest he kidnap you."

In Taiping Prefecture, magical girl managers always share a common problem: the magical girls are generally too young, easily deceived, and prone to falling in love.

Tang Wenjie had seen far too many cases like this.

Some magical girls even make wishes for their lovers when they awaken their magical girl status.

Therefore, Tang Wenjie had to be wary, after all, in his eyes, Miss Hell was only sixteen years old, not much older than his own daughter.

Girls at this age have immature views on love and are easily fooled by scumbags.

Hearing Tang Wenjie's words, Hell couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Haha, if my older brother heard this, I wonder how constipated he'd look.
