Chapter 506

Perhaps your plan lies within this.

So you must tell me.

The Masked Sweetheart had already clenched his fists.

But remembering that his weakness still lay in Luo En's hands, he loosened his grip.

"I met her during a battle against a monster.

Back then, I was still a B-rank hero.

She was only a C-rank hero, ranked last.

When I first saw her,

I wasn't interested in her at all.

But somehow, later on, we ended up together for reasons I couldn't explain."

As he said this,

his eyes filled with nostalgia.

Luo En could feel every word he spoke was genuine.

"But then, for some reason, things changed.

We went our separate ways.

Since then, we had no further ties.

But this time, she found me.

She told me this matter was extremely important.

It would decide the future of the entire Hero Association.

Even the future of the entire Earth.

I'm sure you know this too.

We will soon face a Divine-level disaster.

When the extraterrestrial meteor falls,

the entire Earth will be destroyed.

So I believed her.

I agreed to help her with this."

Luo En furrowed his brow slightly.

This Divine-level disaster had already spread among the S-rank heroes.

How could these C-rank heroes know the details of a Divine-level disaster?

And moreover, did she even have a way to stop such a disaster? She had never mentioned it to Luo En before.

She hadn't even elaborated much on the disaster itself.

Luo En believed there must be some secret hidden here.

At the very least, that sister knew far more than she let on.

Luo En said,

"Did she only tell you about the Divine-level disaster? Nothing else?"

The Masked Sweetheart shook his head.

"Just this matter alone has left me overwhelmed.

And precisely because of this matter, I agreed to help her."

Luo En said, "She's just a C-rank hero.

The lowest-ranked in the entire Hero Association.

Even her ranking is the very last.

Why would you believe her? I think your claim is utterly baseless."

The Masked Sweetheart said,

"Just by the look in her eyes.

I believe her gaze couldn't be faked.

Her eyes were resolute.

And when she looked at me, they were filled with hope.

In that moment, I believed she was telling the truth."

Luo En said, "As the number-one A-rank hero in the Hero Association, you're trusting your feelings?

Don't you think this decision is extremely impulsive? If her actions bring disaster to the entire Hero Association,

can you take responsibility for it?"

The Masked Sweetheart did not answer Luo En's question.

Instead, he gazed coldly at Luo En.

"Can I leave now? I've told you everything you wanted to know."

Luo En nodded.

It seemed he could extract no more information from the Masked Sweetheart.

But one key question remained.

Luo En had held onto it.

That was: what exactly did that sister know?

He believed he should speak with her properly.

Seeing Luo En nod, Masked Sweetheart sighed in relief.

He walked out quickly.

But it was clear his eyes grew colder by the moment.

Luo En still sent the video to the Hero Association.

He could not shield Masked Sweetheart in this matter.

Then Luo En rushed to the hospital.

The Hero Association received the video.

They immediately summoned a group of staff for a meeting.

But this was a secret meeting; no heroes were invited.

They watched everything Masked Sweetheart had done in the video.

Their expressions gradually darkened.

"It seems we have a traitor within the Hero Association."

"We just don't know if he is the mastermind."

There must be someone pulling the strings behind this."

"I think we should lay a long line and catch a big fish."

"Don't make a sound yet—wait until this big fish surfaces."

"Then capture them all at once."

One man, who looked very elderly, asked with concern.

"But this man is Masked Sweetheart."

"He possesses great abilities."

"If even he has become a traitor,"

"it would be a severe blow to the Hero Association's reputation."

Masked Sweetheart has always been the public face of the Hero Association.

He is a celebrity with countless fans and supporters.

So all publicity work, big or small, has been entrusted to him.

But if even he has betrayed us this time,

then he can never again participate in any future operations.

"Regarding Masked Sweetheart, I believe we should hold several more meetings."

"Only then should we make a final decision."

"We must devise a highly appropriate resolution."
