Chapter 35 - Arrival Announcement of a New Supervillain
Metro City
4:00 PM
Half a mile away from the broadcasting channel Poggo, a fleet of luxurious cars had gathered, surrounded by several guards.
A man standing outside with a woman waved toward a boy, who nodded before heading in the direction of the channel’s headquarters.
"...Master, I—" Darithi was about to speak, glancing at Cruxius as she thought about the earlier events—specifically, the moment they both heard the voice of a child crying inside the hospital.
At that time, after seeing the child, somehow her master approached him. Without needing to ask, he already seemed aware that the boy possessed a superpower.
While engaging in conversation with the child’s mother, Cruxius flirted casually, keeping the flow steady.
Initially, Darithi assumed he was just interested in the woman.
However, throughout the journey—which felt more like a date than simple flirting—it became clear he was subtly extracting information.
Up to that point, Darithi hadn’t doubted anything.
The woman was more than eager to speak, especially after learning that Cruxius was the sole heir of the Blac Corporation.
