Chapter 490

One of you must be lying.

The Masked Sweetheart said firmly.

"I swear to you.

Every word I say is true.

You can absolutely trust me—I don't even know who you're asking about.

Whose reputation could possibly be greater than a celebrity's?

Luo En said.

"I believe you.

But you must give me a reason to believe you.

The Masked Sweetheart clenched his fists tightly.

This Luo En is truly hard to deceive.

He had thought up countless excuses to brush it off before.

But he could tell.

Luo En already knew some of the truth about this matter.

If he accidentally let something slip,

then this matter would become even harder to resolve.

"I was merely asked to help.

This matter has nothing to do with me.

As for why I helped her,

you can ask her yourself.

She will tell you.

It's not really much of a secret."

Luo En said.

"If that's the case,

then why are you so agitated?"

The Masked Sweetheart said, feigning calm.

"I'm not agitated.

You just burst in suddenly—I thought someone else had come."

After saying that, he sidestepped Luo En and tried to leave.

But Luo En had no intention of letting him go so easily.

As he took a step forward,

Luo En quickly stepped ahead and blocked his path again.

The Masked Sweetheart's face darkened with anger.

"What do you want? I've said everything I can.

I've told you every piece of information I can give.

If you still refuse to let me go, don't blame me for being uncivil."

Luo En said, "Really? Are you really going to watch your career slip away from you forever?"

As he spoke, Luo En raised the video in his hand.

"This records everything you did here.

If I press just one send button,

then

everything you've done will become known to the entire world.

The hero they admire,

now revealed as this kind of person.

I wonder how the fans who adore you will feel when they learn the truth."

The Masked Sweetheart's face turned extremely pale.

He had thought a few quick words would send Luo En packing.

At least he hadn't expected so much suspicion.

Besides, he himself knew little about this matter.

He had spent all his time on celebrity image crafting.

Compared to being a hero,

he wanted to be a celebrity.

Becoming a celebrity

would make his career soar.

The hero identity was merely his side job.

But now Luo En was threatening his career.

If looks could kill, Luo En would have died a thousand times over.

He longed to grind Luo En into dust and ashes.

But now his leverage was in the other's hands—he could do nothing.

But now his leverage was in the other party's hands, and he could do nothing.

It seems Luo En won't give up easily.

He said coldly again.

"What else do you want to know? Ask it all at once."

"I'll tell you everything I know."

Luo En said, "What is your relationship with her?"

Why did she come to you to falsify records in the Hero Association?"

This isn't a small matter.

If this gets exposed, your career is over.

I know you must have considered this angle.

But why are you still willing to do it?"

Masked Sweetheart said coldly.

"This is my private matter. I cannot answer you about it."

Luo En said.

"I believe this private matter hides some secret.

Perhaps your plan lies within it.

So you must tell me."

Masked Sweetheart had clenched his fists.

But remembering his leverage still rested in Luo En's hands, he loosened them.

"I met her during a battle against a monster.

Back then, I was a B-Class Hero.

She was only a C-Class Hero, ranked last.

When I first saw her,

I wasn't interested in her.

But later, for some reason, we ended up together."

As he said this,

his eyes filled with reminiscence.

Luo En could feel every word he spoke was genuine.

"But then, something happened—I don't know what.

We went our separate ways.

Since then, we've had no connection."
