Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes
Chapter 128: Hundred Thousand, Billion-Yen Mission
Lelouch's World
Unlike the suspicious and surprised Brunhilde,
『Lelouch』: (eyes lighting up) If that group member truly possesses such power... then overthrowing the Holy Britannian Empire would be a piece of cake.
After all, Lelouch's hatred for the Empire stemmed from his father, the Emperor of Britannia, who turned a blind eye to the tragedy.
His mother was assassinated, and his sister was left blind and paralyzed.
They were both cast away to Area 11.
『Lelouch』: (coldly) I will destroy Britannia.
The mention of Carl's powers by the group members only fueled his resolve further.
Not to mention the formidable-looking Valkyrie.
『Lelouch』: This chat group... is quite something.
Lelouch continued browsing the chat.
『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: By the way, the chat group now has a live stream feature!
『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Does that mean we can watch mission scenes without participating ourselves?
『What to Do With My Chuuni Little Sister』: Seems like it.
『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Hmm, I wonder if it records automatically too?
『Shirley』: ...
...
Carl glanced at the chat group, then exited.
As for the comparison between his combat ability and Brunhilde's,
『Carl』: (dismissively) Not worth thinking too hard about.
After all, in Record of Ragnarok, the so-called gods... didn't seem that impressive.
Poseidon, for instance, just spammed basic attacks with his weapon.
Even his "ultimate moves" were just fancy versions of the same.
And yet, he lost to Sasaki Kojiro.
『Carl』: (scoffing) If that's the level of their gods... I could beat a hundred thousand of them.
As for Brunhilde…
Hmm…
When Carl exited the group chat,
Zhao Hailun was still asleep.
He didn't disturb her.
After all, he'd only been in the group for about 20 minutes.
Without waking Zhao Hailun, Carl quietly fetched a bottle of red wine.
...
Around 7 a.m., Zhao Hailun slowly stirred awake.
Carl sat on the bed, smiling at her.
『Carl』: Awake?
『Zhao Hailun』: Mm.
『Carl』: Hungry?
『Zhao Hailun』: A little.
『Carl』: Once you're more awake, let's grab breakfast.
『Zhao Hailun』: Okay.
...
After about ten minutes, the two set out for a meal.
Not knowing exactly when Zhao Hailun would wake up, Carl hadn't made a reservation.
So, they casually chose a nearby restaurant.
It was a five-star hotel Carl frequented.
Not too crowded.
When they arrived, both the private rooms and main hall had availability.
Carl originally wanted a private room,
But Zhao Hailun preferred the open space of the main hall.
So they chose a table by the window.
The tables were spaced far apart, with decor offering ample privacy.
After ordering their favorite dishes, they waited patiently.
The food was to their tastes, and they enjoyed their meal.
Afterwards, they took a leisurely stroll.
Then they returned home.
Having not seen each other in a while, they naturally wanted to do... the things they loved.
Carl lifted Zhao Hailun and headed to the bedroom.
...
Detective Conan World
In a dim room, a long-haired woman with a gentle face sat lost in thought.
Suddenly,
RING RING RING!!
Her phone buzzed, startling her.
She quickly regained composure and picked it up.
Her face darkened as she checked the caller ID.
She answered respectfully.
『Miyano Akemi』: Hello.
A deep voice responded.
『Mysterious Caller』: Miyano Akemi.
Yes,
This woman was Shiho Miyano's older sister, Miyano Akemi.
『Mysterious Caller』: Do you want to leave the organization… with your sister?
Her eyes filled with alarm.
『Miyano Akemi』: N-no… I never thought about it.
『Mysterious Caller』: No need to be nervous.
The voice chuckled.
『Mysterious Caller』: There's a dangerous task. We lack suitable personnel.
『Mysterious Caller』: The mission is risky, but the reward is considerable.
『Mysterious Caller』: I know you've long wanted to escape the organization with your sister.
『Mysterious Caller』: Complete the task, and I'll allow it. Deal?
Her heart raced.
Freedom.
It was all she ever wanted.
The sisters were only in the organization because their parents had been members.
Forced into it.
Later, Shiho was sent to the U.S. for education.
While Akemi stayed in Japan.
Though she lived a "normal" life on the surface,
She was constantly under surveillance.
She resented it. Feared it.
But as an ordinary woman, she had no power to resist.
Only endure.
Years ago, she had a boyfriend.
Eventually, he revealed he was an FBI agent.
She'd suspected it all along.
But love made her keep silent.
After his identity was exposed, he was assassinated.
That event solidified her resolve.
She even hinted to Shiho her desire to leave.
And now, somehow… the organization knew?
Still,
This might be her only chance.
『Miyano Akemi』: (nervously) You really... would let us go?
『Mysterious Caller』: If you complete the mission.
『Mysterious Caller』: Fail, and you die.
Her breathing quickened.
But then she thought, living like this wasn't really living.
『Miyano Akemi』: What about my sister? If I fail, what happens to her?
『Mysterious Caller』: She stays. After all, she's a top-tier asset.
『Miyano Akemi』: …Alright. I accept the mission.
『Mysterious Caller』: You won't ask what it is?
『Miyano Akemi』: I'll take whatever task it is.
『Mysterious Caller』: Very well.
He chuckled.
『Mysterious Caller』: The organization's funds are tight lately.
『Mysterious Caller』: Your mission, steal one billion yen for the organization.
『Miyano Akemi』: Understood. But I have one request.
『Mysterious Caller』: (coldly) What is it?
『Miyano Akemi』: I'd like to see my sister before the mission.
『Mysterious Caller』: Hm?
『Miyano Akemi』: It's a dangerous task. I have no experience.
『Miyano Akemi』: Just in case… I want to see her.
『Mysterious Caller』: Fine. But you must not reveal anything about the task.
『Miyano Akemi』: Of course.
『Mysterious Caller』: Very well. It's settled.
...
The call ended.
In truth,
There was a reason she accepted so readily.
Her day job?
She worked at a bank.
