Miyano Akemi didn't hesitate, she accepted the Organization's mission.

Although…

She had been living as an ordinary person until now and had never been involved in any of the Organization's operations.

The Miyano sisters were only forced to join the Organization because of their parents.

Under surveillance, Akemi's job had always been as a bank employee.

Though, she had only recently switched to this new bank position.

Taking advantage of her current role, stealing ten billion yen might actually be feasible.

Come to think of it, the Organization likely assigned her this task because they knew about her new job.

Of course, it wasn't going to be easy.

Far from it.

But compared to escaping the Organization…

This was nothing.

Freedom from the Organization, that was her dream.

Risking everything for that goal? Of course it was worth it.

Still, this wasn't some petty theft.

It was robbing a bank.

And for ten billion.

She'd have to plan this carefully.

What made her genuinely happy, however, was the Organization allowing her to visit her sister.

After all…

Miyano Shiho was one of their most valuable assets, always busy with work.

Even though Akemi was her older sister, she rarely got the chance to see her.

Partly because Shiho was always busy, but also because the Organization restricted contact.

Now, at last, she had a chance.

『Miyano Akemi』: Mm… I'll make something delicious to bring her.

『Miyano Akemi』: Once this mission is over, I won't have to stay with the Organization anymore.

『Miyano Akemi』: I can go see Daikun…

Akemi could almost see that beautiful future within reach.

…

At precisely 7:00 AM, Carl was already awake.

Zhao Hailun was still fast asleep.

Without waking her, Carl went to prepare breakfast.

Later, they ate together.

Since Hailun was usually buried in work, she rarely had time to go out.

So this time, Carl took her on a drive.

And naturally, come evening, they indulged in their favorite activities.

Over the next few days, he even accompanied her to visit her parents.

Her parents were in excellent health.

Not that this was news to Carl.

Ever since he acquired the Silver Superman template, he had been quietly keeping tabs on them.

Even before the template, he'd assigned them bodyguards, personally transferred from Stark Industries' security division.

…

That morning, while eating breakfast,

Zhao Hailun suddenly remembered something, exclaiming in surprise:

『Zhao Hailun』: Oh right! Wasn't I supposed to study your body this trip?

As a PhD in medicine, working at a genetics institute, it was only natural that she'd be intrigued by Carl's body.

Yes, purely for professional research purposes.

Of course, she'd also done… the less professional kind of research.

…

This was the first time Zhao Hailun had ever encountered a being with Superman-like powers.

What made it even more fascinating was that Carl hadn't always had these abilities.

Something had changed in him.

That made her even more curious.

After a few questions and receiving Carl's consent,

She decided to begin her research.

However…

The moment she saw him, she completely forgot all about it.

And the past few days had been so much fun that she never got around to it.

Now that her vacation was nearly over, she finally remembered.

Carl didn't seem bothered, he simply smiled and nodded.

『Carl』: Sure. Let's eat first, and then you can poke around.

『Zhao Hailun』: Mhm!

…

After breakfast, Hailun began her examination.

She first gave Carl a careful visual inspection.

『Zhao Hailun』: Doesn't seem like much has changed…

She muttered as she looked him over.

Aside from being a bit more muscular, there wasn't much visible difference.

Then again, Carl had always worked out and trained in combat techniques.

Carl nodded. 『Carl』: Right…

Not seeing anything unusual didn't discourage Hailun.

It made sense, there was only so much one could see with the naked eye.

She thought for a moment before asking:

『Zhao Hailun』: Can I draw some blood?

『Carl』: Go ahead.

He wasn't bothered by scientific research.

His powers came from the System, after all.

If his blood ended up producing something groundbreaking…

Well, that might be interesting.

Carl doubted anyone could surpass him by injecting a mere serum.

So he agreed.

『Zhao Hailun』: Great! Hold on a sec.

She grabbed a syringe from her nearby backpack.

After preparing everything, she attempted to draw his blood.

However,

No matter what she did,

She couldn't pierce his skin.

Not even a scratch.

After multiple attempts, still no blood.

Hailun stared at Carl in shock.

『Zhao Hailun』: How is your skin this tough?

Carl just smiled.

『Carl』: Comes with the territory. I've gained incredible powers, so naturally, my body's built differently.

He knew exactly what was going on.

He hadn't thought of it before, but now it made sense.

The Silver Superman's body could withstand cosmic explosions without a scratch.

How could an ordinary needle possibly pierce it?

Of course blood couldn't be drawn.

Even after trying several more times, no luck.

『Zhao Hailun』: Okay, I give up. It's not going to work.

『Carl』: Maybe try one more time?

『Zhao Hailun』: No point. These needles are useless.

She shook her head. 『Zhao Hailun』: Oh well. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have discovered much anyway.

She said that, but clearly, she was a little disappointed.

『Carl』: Don't worry about it.

He smiled. 『Carl』: I've got nothing going on lately. When you head back to Korea, I'll come with you. Maybe stay there a while.

Zhao Hailun's eyes sparkled with surprise.

『Zhao Hailun』: Really?

Carl had never stayed with her over there before.

What changed?

『Carl』: Of course.

He nodded.

He hadn't stayed in Korea previously because of his daily system sign-ins.

But now, even if he had to sign in, he could instantly return to New York, sign in, and jump back.

It barely took any time at all.

『Zhao Hailun』: That's amazing!

She hugged him tightly, her earlier disappointment vanishing in an instant.

In her good mood, Zhao Hailun wanted to go for a drive along the coast, and insisted on driving herself.

Carl had no reason to refuse.

With him around, even if the car exploded, neither of them would be harmed.

So off they went.

While on the road, Carl's phone rang.

He glanced at the screen.

It was a call from Tony Stark.

He answered casually.

『Carl』: Hey, Tony?

Tony's voice was practically buzzing with excitement.

『Tony Stark』: Hey, Superman! Where are you right now? Come over, I want to celebrate with a drink!

『Carl』: Celebrate with a drink?

『Tony Stark』: Yep! Remember that box you gave me?

『Tony Stark』: Using what my father left behind… I've successfully discovered a new element!
