He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Of course, there are plenty of beautiful women in this world.

Gu Qing glanced at him a couple more times before returning to normal and asked, "Is there anything you need?"

"Um……"

The beautiful woman seemed unsure of what to say, hesitated for a moment, and then introduced herself: "My name is Daisy Johnson, and I'm a journalist."

"Skye?"

Gu Qing narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.

Skye was puzzled by this reaction and couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem?"

"……nothing."

Gu Qing snapped out of her daze, smiled, and extended her right hand, asking, "So, Miss Reporter, is there something you need from me?"

"It's just a small matter I need to inquire about."

"no problem."

Gu Qing readily nodded.

Skye smiled.

"Let me see your press pass first."

Gu Qing added.

The smile froze instantly.

But it quickly turned into a smile. "Well, actually I'm an underground reporter. I specialize in interviewing and investigating the dark side of things that can't be brought into the light of society... You know, this kind of work is very dangerous. I would never bring something that would easily expose my identity."

"Oh~"

Gu Qing suddenly realized, "I understand, I understand."

"I'm glad you understand."

Skye said, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

That clumsy attempt at cover-up was so ridiculous it made me want to laugh.

Gu Qing suppressed a laugh and asked in a serious tone, "So, Miss Skye, what would you like to ask?"

"Mr. Gu Qing must know about the vampire incident a month ago!"

"It's rare for someone not to know, given that it's being broadcast globally. But how did Miss Skye know my name?"

"Um...you know I'm a reporter, so I do my research beforehand."

"OK, let's get back to the main topic."

"OK."

Skye waved her hand and said, "Because of that incident, people learned that those legends and stories might not just be simple stories, but actually exist in reality."

"so what?"

"So I conducted an investigation into this situation and made some significant progress."

Skye said, turning the notebook toward Gu Qing.

A video was playing above, showing Iron Man fighting terrorists in the Middle East.

"There are not only vampires in this world, but also superheroes like Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Daredevil. In fact, there are many more beings that people are unaware of."

As Skye spoke, the video footage showed Hulk battling Abomination, Genos making a dashing entrance and defeating both monsters; an aerial view from the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters; the Infinity City emerging from beneath Manhattan's commercial district, a life-or-death struggle between Demon Slayer Corps members, S.H.I.E.L.D. special forces, and demons, culminating in a massive explosion; and the Monaco F circuit, where Otto effortlessly subdued Whiplash and transformed the entire city into a forest…

Scar pressed pause, his bright eyes fixed on Gu Qing. "These are all recent events. If we look back, we can find even more."

"so what?"

Gu Qing looked at Skye with a puzzled expression, "What does this have to do with you coming to see me?"

"Stop pretending, I know everything."

The woman, with an air of "I already have evidence of your crimes," smiled and said, "You're one of them too."

"I?"

"I was able to uncover so many secrets..."

“I have to correct you, it’s not exactly a secret.”

Gu Qing interrupted Skye, saying, "Although the government tried its best to cover it up and destroy the evidence, it was something that happened in full view of everyone, and the people living nearby all know about it."

"Well, it's not exactly secret."

Skye agreed with Gu Qing's statement and continued the previous topic, "But I don't live nearby, so the fact that I was able to investigate these things still demonstrates my ability in this area."

"Does it mean invading privacy?"

"Um...maybe it's better to call it Sherlock Holmes behavior."

"Isn't Sherlock Holmes a specialist in spying on privacy?"

"That's a detective."

"Detectives also have no right to investigate others without authorization."

"Um... okay, anyway, I have evidence that you are one of these superhumans."

"???"

Gu Qing blinked, looking at the woman blankly.

It took him a while to recover from what the other person had said, and he asked, "You're saying I'm a superhuman?"

"Ok!"

Skye nodded.

You're overthinking it!

"I have proof."

After working on the computer for a while, Skye turned to Gu Qing again, where several pictures were displayed. These included pictures of Skye and Otto watching a game together at the Monaco stadium, and Otto's battle with the Thunder agents at Monaco airport.

"Otto is an employee of your store, isn't he?"

Skye pointed to Otto, who was loading goods inside, and said, "Although there is no direct evidence that you used your supernatural abilities, the fact that you remained calm in the face of so many supernatural enemies and even nuclear bombs is enough to show that you are very confident."

"That's because Otto is there."

“Otto is powerful, but he hasn’t demonstrated the ability to keep someone safe in that situation,” Scar analyzed. “So, no matter how you look at it, you should possess extraordinary power.”

"..."

Gu Qing fell silent.

The other party knows more than you think, so there's no point in denying it anymore.

Moreover, there is no need to hide it.

He took out a cigarette and offered it to Skye.

After the other person declined his offer, he took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled, saying, "So?"

"what?"

Skye was a little taken aback.

"You came to me just to explain (that you already know I'm a superhuman)?"

"...Are you really a superhuman?"

Skye paused for a moment, seemingly surprised that the other party admitted it so readily, and then asked excitedly.

"Whoo~"

Gu Qing slowly took a drag of his cigarette, then sighed and said, "So what exactly are you here for?"

Sorry, sorry.

Skye, having recovered from her initial shock, managed to control her fluctuating emotions and said, "Although I knew there were so many extraordinary people in the world, this is the first time I've actually met one. I'm a little excited, like meeting my favorite idol. You should understand what I mean!"

Do you think I'm from some remote mountain forest and don't know anything?

Gu Qing rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Seeing this, Skye smiled and continued, "Actually, I'm not a journalist, but a member of an organization called 'Rising Tide,' dedicated to exposing the dark secrets hidden by the government... I originally wanted to reveal the existence of these superhumans concealed by the government. But as you know, because of the vampire incident, superhumans are no longer a secret."

Chapter 257 Breaking into the Red Room

So what exactly is this woman here for?

Gu Qing took a deep drag of his cigarette, then gazed at her quietly, waiting for her to continue.

Skye, slightly embarrassed, chuckled awkwardly, "I heard you're a prophet."

"...That's right."

Gu Qing paused for a moment, then immediately understood the woman's intention, a playful smile appearing on his face. "But I don't do things for free."

"I……"

Skye opened her mouth, then closed it again.

What could she say?

All the things I wanted to say were blocked, so what else could I say?

First, find a topic to get acquainted with her, then get closer to her, and finally get something for free... Skye's plan is simple and old-fashioned.

But since it's already been seen through, it can't continue.

However, it's impossible for her to give up like that.

After all, it concerns her family.

Skye's eyes darted around, and she forced a smirk. "Look at what you're saying. You're a superhuman, talking about money is so vulgar! Look at Iron Man, Spider-Man, Daredevil, they're all rising stars. But if they were paid to do something, they would never achieve the same results."

"You mean this?"
