"Isn't this a great opportunity? It can help you as well as me. ”

"I can't do that, Madeleine will get me out of the Seven." Starlight shook her head, she wanted to keep her job more than exposing the ugly face of the deep sea.

"In my opinion, you don't understand Madeleine at all, even if she fires anyone in the company, she won't choose to fire the members of the seven, Walter is not her Walter after all, Walter is the Walter of the shareholders, firing you will only lead to the decline of Walter International's shares, she can't afford this consequence."

Starlight was silent for a few seconds, and she had to admit that Xia Shang's words were right.

But for this reason alone, she still couldn't convince her to come forward and accuse the deep sea, and Starlight said quite simply, "I don't think I can face Madeleine's wrath, and what is going on in the deep sea?" Not only did you offend Madeleine, but you also offended the deep sea. ”

"Please give me a napkin, thank you."

After the waiter handed over the napkin, he silently walked into the distance, waiting for Xia Shang's next instructions, and never listened to the conversation between customers, which was their professionalism.

Xia Shang put the napkin on his chest and said with a smile: "First of all, as long as you don't say it, no one will know that I am the manipulator behind the scenes, of course, it doesn't matter if you guess correctly."

Secondly, I have contacted Deep Sea in advance, and contrary to what you said, not only did he not hate me, but he was grateful to me. ”

"Why?" Starlight asked subconsciously.

"Even you will be dissatisfied with the soaring popularity of the deep sea, let alone other people." Xia Shang cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.

Starlight was not stupid, she immediately realized who the other person Xia Shang was referring to.

"Motherland!"

"That's right, at the current rate of popularity growth in the deep sea, maybe it will threaten that person, you say, will that person allow such a thing to happen? So when Shenhai learns that he is about to surpass that person, do you guess he is afraid or afraid? Xia Shang said with a smile after swallowing the juicy steak.

"It's all in your plan?" Starlight looked at Xia Shang like a monster.

"Pretty much." Xia Shang said very calmly.

However, Starlight still didn't understand the significance of Xia Shang's actions. Lifting up the deep sea with one hand, and now I want to push him down again, is it just because I have nothing to do when I am full?

Obviously, Xia Shang didn't have nothing to do when he was full, not to mention that a steak alone couldn't fill his stomach.

"I don't understand why you...... Ashley, that's right, you want Ashley to step down and become the head of HR and PR herself. Starlight had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly understood the purpose of Xia Shang's all.

"But how can you be sure that Madeleine will promote you? She could have promoted someone else to be a supervisor. ”

Xia Shang wiped the grease stains on the corners of his mouth with a tissue, "Because for Madeleine, that person's opinion is also very important, so we simply cooperated, he wanted to make the popularity of Deep Sea plummet, and I only wanted the position of the head of the public relations department, and both sides took what they needed, a very perfect cooperation." ”

"Horror." Starlight couldn't help but sigh.

"Thanks for the compliment." In fact, from the beginning of the air crash to the appearance of President Edgar, every step is within Xia Shang's plan, maybe it is a bit of the protagonist's halo-like luck, but for Xia Shang, it is just an attempt, even if it fails, there is nothing to lose to him, why not do it.

Moreover, once the deep sea incident broke out, it would inevitably deal a big blow to Madeleine's authority.

You must know that Xia Shang is not only eyeing the position of the head of the public relations department.

Walter is a very special company, only the director or above is qualified to intervene in superheroes, in order to better analyze and integrate the superheroes' superpowers in the future, Xia Shang must do this, he has to go up step by step, and finally stand at the top of the Walter Building, looking down on the whole of New York.

"How's it going?" Xia Shang asked after eating the last piece of steak.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, what you lose is far less than what you will gain, as far as I know, there are tens of millions of members of the Women's Protection Association, as long as you expose the deep sea, you can get their support, you know, women's rights are sometimes a very useful tool."

Starlight feels that Xia Shang is like Asmodeus in the legend of Tybia, a demon who specializes in seducing women to fall.

"I'll think about it again."

With that, Starlight hurried out of the restaurant, as if a tiger and wolf were chasing after her.

Xia Shang looked at her departing back and raised his hand to drink the last sip of juice in the cup.

He understood that Starlight would agree, after all, a person's personality could not change in a short period of time.

…………

At the same time, the investigation team formed by Billy and the four made important progress in the investigation of Compound Five.

Breast milk has been investigated through a channel to find out that since 1971, the "Samaritan Embrace" founded by Izqil has secretly delivered compound 5 to more than 50 hospitals around the world with the investment of the Walt Group, which means that none of the superhumans are born, they are all ordinary people who have been injected with drugs.

"Is Starlight too?" Huey couldn't help but ask.

These days, he tries to make contact with Starlight at Billy's request, and although the two don't develop into boyfriend and girlfriend, the relationship is not bad.

"That's right, she's also a transhuman created by injecting Compound Five."

Breast Milk put down the thick stack of materials in her hand and continued: "Except for the motherland, other people's information can be found, and all the information in my hand does not record how the motherland became superhuman. ”

"Yes, it's already a surprise to be able to find so many." Billy is very pleased with the results of the breast milk survey.

However, on the side, Frankie put forward a different point of view, "Then how do you explain Kimiko?" You know, when we rescued her, she wasn't in the hospital, but was injected with Compound 5 in the dungeon. ”

"Maybe ......" Frankie's words seem to overturn the conclusion of the breast milk investigation.

Billy frowned, struggling to sort out the connection, but one thing was for sure, everything was inseparable from the Walter Group.

"Breast milk, you are responsible for continuing the investigation and seeing if you can find clues about Kimiko." Billy then turned to look at Huey and said, "You come with me to a place and see if there are any clues there." ”

Huey then follows Billy to a mutual aid society, whose members are indirect victims of transhumanism.

It can be said that most of them have been rescued by superhumans, but they have been injured and left with lifelong disabilities.

So the group came together and formed a mutual aid society.

Billy had known about and been in contact with the group for a long time, when his wife, Béjar, had been raped by the Motherland and disappeared, and almost everyone thought she was dead.
