"Yes, it's me." Hera nodded honestly.
Ekaren was so excited that he was incoherent, his lips trembling, and his arms slowly opened as if he wanted to embrace Hera.
But they remained suspended in mid-air and dared not take any actual action.
"I... Boss..."
He began to panic, his eyes darting around, unable to look Hera in the eye.
"I'm sorry, I almost... I almost hurt you... I... I didn't know..."
The next second, Ekalen suddenly felt something soft embrace her.
It was like a small sun that could warm the soul, dispelling all his unease and fear.
Hera wrapped her arms around Ekaren's waist, pressed her chest tightly against his abdomen and chest, and buried her face in his chest.
He's so thin.
This was Hera's first feeling when she held Ekaren.
A woman with a slim waist isn't much different from other women of similar build; when her face is pressed against the other woman's chest, she can't even feel how much flesh is on her chest.
Then I looked up again.
Those dark circles under my eyes...
Aikalen also lowered her head, and the moment she met Hera's gaze, her entire face turned bright red at a visible speed.
Hera could feel the other person's body stiffen instantly, as if a button had been pressed.
At the same time, my whole body started to heat up, and I could feel it even through a layer of clothing.
Seeing this, Hera released her hand, fearing that the other person would faint at any moment.
Yu Liu and Liu Ruqing stared blankly at this scene.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
"Hera, do you know the Blood Scarf?"
“Yes.” Hera nodded. “He was my former underling.”
"Little brother?"
Yu Liu glanced at Aikaren and then at Hera, his blood-stained face once again showing shock.
At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of Hera's strength.
After all, to be the leader of someone with the ultimate human combat power, one's strength must be above that of the human.
"By the way, how did you become a mercenary?"
Hera turned to ask Ekaren, who was still in a daze.
Aikalen shuddered and recovered, "Uh, Master, the main thing is that I haven't been able to find any work for you in the past five years, and by some twist of fate I ended up becoming a mercenary to earn some money."
"Oh, I see. Don't be one now."
"Hmm... okay!"
"【Blood Scarf】! Are you trying to breach your contract?"
Standing on the stage and witnessing everything, Liu Ruqing immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"I've already paid you a deposit of ten million, it wouldn't be right to breach the contract now."
"this……"
"It's alright, just kill her." Hera walked up to Ekaren and waved her hand.
"From now on, if you follow me, you'll never be short of money."
As Ekaren watched Hera's retreating figure, a warm feeling welled up inside him.
"Alright, you're going to die now. Anything else you want to say?"
Hera stared at Liu Ruqing on the stage without any emotion, one of her hands already splitting into countless hideous tentacles.
The already terrified crowd screamed again and retreated to the four corners.
However, to everyone's surprise, Liu Ruqing showed no fear whatsoever, nor did she feel any resentment at the failure of her plan.
However, Hera, who was in the basement, noticed a different reaction from the other party.
Inside the dimly lit basement.
Liu Zhuqing sat in the chair, her head lowered, her right hand, made of machinery, supporting her forehead.
"hehe……"
Suddenly, she laughed as her body slowly twitched.
Do you know why I want to kill you so much?
"Even though you already have new assets, you can live a life of luxury without doing anything."
"But I'm determined to take revenge on an opponent of your caliber."
“Hmm…” Heramo stroked his chin thoughtfully, “Because you are vengeful.”
"Because... I'm extremely unwilling to accept this!"
She suddenly raised her head, her cold and beautiful face contorted with anger.
"I refuse to accept that my Godslayer Technology Company has been destroyed by you!"
Liu Ruqing stood up abruptly, her mechanical right fist clenched tightly together, producing a sharp, metallic scraping sound.
"You don't understand at all..."
"What did I sacrifice for that company!"
"She was working three jobs when she was only eleven or twelve years old in the slums!"
"After entering the city, I became a plaything of those rich people for a time before I could save enough capital to start my own business!"
"Do you know what it feels like to be so exhausted that you have to be hospitalized, and then work on documents while recovering in your hospital bed?!"
Do you know how hard it was to collect resources, working ourselves to the bone, to train those technical personnel?!
"you do not know!!!"
"Because you're just a monster who doesn't care about others at all and only follows his most primal instincts!!!"
Liu Ruqing shouted the last few words with almost all her might, while Hera's expression remained unchanged throughout.
"I have worked hard for nearly ten years and finally mastered the [Battle Armor] technology that can change the world and control the world order."
“I should have used this to become a giant organization like the Night Stars.”
"But it's all because of you!!!"
"You turned my company into ruins overnight! And even this technology fell into the hands of the Night Stars!"
"You've forced me to resort to such lowly and foolish methods to survive!!!"
"It's all your fault!!!"
Liu Ruqing angrily grabbed Hera by the collar, her scarlet eyes seeming to devour her.
