"He's a guy who claims to be an outsider!"

Perhaps it was because Xiu En's gaze at the oil pipeline was too affectionate, or perhaps it was because his actions of smelling the metal were too perverted, that Firefly completely lacked the toughness that a supervillain should have.

Before Xiu En could even finish his threatening lines about turning him into a barbecue grill if he didn't speak, he blurted them all out like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

"It wasn't that madman Roman! At first I thought it was Black Mask who escaped from prison. Although the middleman was also wearing a black mask, the material he was made of looked more like some kind of living metal."

The firefly struggled desperately, its neck bound backwards by vines and steel bars, trying to get away from Xiu En's outstretched hand.

"That guy claimed to be an outsider, only took a small amount of US dollars from me, and all he asked for was for me to create enough chaotic data for him in Central City. Those depleted uranium nozzles were also trial kits he gave me!"

Xiu En's hand, which had only intended to pat his face, stopped in mid-air upon hearing this, and instead reached into the spare ammunition pouch on Firefly's waist and pulled out three still-warm fuel rods.

"Living metal?"

Xiu En weighed the heavy snacks in his hand and raised an eyebrow slightly.

This thing is actually wrapped in an extremely thin layer of N metal plating. Although the purity is outrageously low, it is definitely not something that a regular gang on Earth could get their hands on.

"I don't need money, I just want messed-up data."

Xiu En casually snapped a fuel rod in two like breaking a carrot, the viscous green radioactive liquid inside vaporizing with his fingertips before it even had a chance to drip out.

"Sounds like an interstellar capitalist doing scientific research, or some kind of outpost spy preparing to invade Earth. Whichever it is, he's definitely a better cook than you."

Xiu En casually tossed the drained metal shell aside, his disgusted expression making Firefly feel that her dignity as an arsonist had been completely trampled upon.

"The intelligence sounds fairly reliable."

Xiu En patted the radioactive dust off his hands and turned to look at the sunflower on his shoulder.

"Ivy, do you think we should just bury these pests that not only pollute the environment but also create light pollution, or leave them as a sales record for that young man in the red bodysuit?"

Before Ivy could even begin her list of complaints, Afu's calm voice rang out from the factory's loudspeaker.

As expected of Afu, he managed to hack into the radio station in a place like this.

"Shuen, I think it would be more elegant to do the local law enforcement a favor. Also, based on the frequency analysis we just did, there's a signal source moving rapidly toward us."

Just as the sunflower started counting the gaps between the floor tiles out of boredom.

The red and yellow afterimage bounced rapidly between several pillars before finally stopping in front of Xiu En in a superhero landing pose.

"Don't worry, kind citizens! The danger here has been... uh."

The red bodysuit was indeed eye-catching, and the lightning bolt logo on the chest was very conspicuous even in the dim ruins.

The Flash maintained his hands-on-hips pose, but his voice faltered for a moment when he saw the guy in front of him who was as bright as a human street lamp even with sunglasses on, due to brain overload.

Although the mask covered most of his face, Xiu En, with his excellent dynamic vision, clearly saw the twitch at the corner of the boy's mouth caused by recognizing that this was his previous sugar daddy.

"Uh, I mean, I'm the Flash."

Barry Allen felt like he'd just been caught red-handed stealing his roommate's pudding. He desperately tried to control his vocal cords by vibrating them rapidly to change the frequency, attempting to sound like a deep, authoritative law enforcer, rather than the starving ghost who had just been wolfing down his food on the street corner.

He paced awkwardly in place, his gaze drifting towards the fireflies hanging behind Xiu En: "We received a tip from concerned citizens that there was something illegal here... Wow, you guys not only solved the problem, but the art style of tying the ropes is also quite unique."

This clumsy attempt to change the subject even made the sunflower on Xiu En's shoulder let out a soft "tsk" of disapproval.

Xiu En did not expose the poor young man.

He stood up very cooperatively, as if he had met a long-admired idol, and patted the Flash on the shoulder, then casually wiped the last bit of radiation powder off his hands onto the red suit.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Running Man in red."

Xiu En's smile was so genuine it was frightening.

"This winged gentleman doesn't seem to be used to the warm and hospitable atmosphere of Central City. As the guardian of this city, I think you should know how to get him to a place with food and lodging provided so he can calm down."

"Indeed! It should definitely be handed over to me! These dangerous elements cannot be left outside."

Barry, as if granted a pardon, grabbed the fireflies from the ground, moving so quickly that he didn't even check if the prisoner was missing any equipment.

He made eye contact with Xiu En at that moment.

"Whoever you are, well done! Uphold justice, fellow citizens!"

Not long after, the red figure swept up a gust of wind and disappeared instantly outside the factory gate, leaving only a string of red lightning afterimages and the grateful, tearful whimpers of fireflies echoing in the air.

Afu's announcement came on at just the right moment, but this time even the elegant butler's voice carried a hint of amusement: "Xiu En, this is definitely the fastest-solved supervillain attack case in Central City's history. But I suggest you don't rub radiation on his back, it will make his clothes glow."

Xiu En stood in the center of the empty factory, his eyes closed, his right hand pinching a small piece of N-metal shavings he had plucked from the Firefly equipment, drawing circles in the air like a charlatan.

His absolute intuition about high-energy metals has always been accurate, like a hungry shark that can smell blood from kilometers away.

But this time, it broke.

The frustration of being able to sense that delicious food was nearby but being unable to find its source made Xiu En feel like an unlucky guy who had just connected to free WiFi and was kicked out.

"Bad signal?"

The sunflower lazily patted Xiu En's stiff neck with a leaf.

"Should we plant you in the soil to give you some more connection to nature?"

"There's no need to trouble Ms. Plant to disturb the soil."

Xiu En got back into the sports car.

Afu sat in the driver's seat. The central control screen, which had been displaying complex data streams, had now switched to the navigation interface, and a bright red target point was flashing on the map not far away.

"Just now, while you were probably communicating with spirits, a handshake signal appeared on the communication channel, which wasn't exactly subtle, in the Sumerian civilization exhibition area of ​​the Natural History Museum."

Afu took out a bottle of herbal tea.

Xiu En accepted the bottle of bitter-tasting dark brown liquid with great satisfaction and stepped into the passenger seat.

"I knew it, this was definitely a big one."

Xiu En looked out the window at the city center scenery rushing by; the modern buildings were just piles of boring concrete in his golden vision.

"Using an ancient civilization exhibition as a cover? Hopefully, the exhibits inside will taste better than that firefly we just saw."

Under Afu's control, the sports car merged into the traffic heading to the city. Although it looked like a rich second-generation's extravagant outing, none of the people in the car—the man, the butler, and the flower—were there to be tourists.
