In contrast, Ekarenhera seemed distracted.

He lay sprawled on the sofa, starting to plan for the future.

Although Diana had made contact with him just now, he didn't have a chance to implant any part of his tissue into her body in that one moment.

Moreover, Hera could sense that she possessed a [heterodox artifact] with extremely strong protective capabilities.

There was a faint layer of spiritual energy surrounding the other person, which felt like some kind of detection and alarm device.

This made Hera hesitant to make a move.

Besides, the other side really was wearing [battle armor].

It hung around Diana's neck and looked like a regular tech-style neckband.

It seems there's nothing we can do to her right now; we'll have to find an opportunity to act later.

Hera glanced at Ekaren, sat up from the sofa, and pulled him over.

Aikalen's face flushed red instantly, and she asked tremblingly, "W-what's wrong, boss?"

"Practice with me some more."

...

Inside the Godslayer Technology Company.

Diana carefully admired the photo her assistant had taken of her and Hera.

In the photo, she looks so approachable, while Hera next to her looks bewildered, clearly a newcomer.

Diana handed the photo to her assistant with satisfaction.

"Great job, very well done. Now post this photo on social media."

Remember, you need to make netizens believe that the photo was genuinely taken by a passerby; that's what makes it authentic.

The assistant nodded, took the photos, and went to process them.

Diana stretched, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips as she recalled Hera's singing.

“He’s a promising talent, perfect for being my stepping stone.”
