"John, I'll be going now."
White Night smiled at John McLean.
John McLean nodded.
Following his female secretary, Bai Ye took the chairman's private elevator upstairs.
"Hey, Bai Ye, long time no see."
Upon seeing Bai Ye, Lingdie put down the documents in her hand and greeted him with a smile.
In the sight of the white night.
Psylocke was wearing an orange evening gown with a V-neck that revealed a patch of fair skin.
She had long, flowing black hair, a rosy complexion, and a pair of classic almond-shaped eyes that always held a faint, dreamy quality, like pools of autumn water. Her delicate eyebrows and small, sexy red lips were pursed in a half-smile.
Tall and slender, Lingdie's elegant evening gown accentuated her curvaceous figure, creating a beautiful arc. Her long, shapely legs were bare of stockings, revealing their fair and delicate skin.
A mature and alluring aura permeated her entire being.
It gave her an irresistible allure.
"Yes, it's been a long time."
The two embraced gently.
Perhaps this is what they call "no fight, no friendship." When they first met, Bai Ye wanted to kill Ling Die with a single blow, but now he thinks it's better to execute her with cannon fire!
The female secretary very considerately went out on her own and closed the door behind her.
"Please sit wherever you like."
After the hug, Lingdie let go, gestured towards the sofa, and poured Bai Ye a glass of water.
"I really didn't expect you to still be running a business?"
Bai Ye took a sip of water.

"There was no other way," Pistil said. "We just don't have enough manpower at home, so I had to fill in. Actually, I didn't want to do it myself. It would be so nice to eat, drink, and have fun every day, but can you understand what it feels like to have too much family business and no one to inherit it, and then you're forced into it?"
white night:"……"
He looked at Psylocke speechlessly and said:
"I feel like you're in Versailles!"
The business Bai Ye has built up over the years is the result of his hard work, braving wind and rain. It was not easy for him.
Back on Earth, he once asked his father, "Dad, I have a wish. I hope that one day when I come home exhausted, you will suddenly call me and tell me that our family actually has 100 million in assets, and that you were just pretending to be poor to train me."
—Dad: I'm still waiting for your grandpa's call!
Psylocke laughed: "Let's not talk about me anymore, it's all just boring stuff. But you, how have you been lately?"
Bai Ye said, "It's nothing special, just messing around."
“That can’t be right.” Psylocke looked at Bai Ye with a meaningful look and said, “I’ve heard that something big seems to have happened in New Mexico.”
"You know that too?"
Bai Ye glanced at Ling Die in surprise.
Psylocke: "You've forgotten, we're the Hellfire Club! There's very little information in this world that we don't know. Even within S.H.I.E.L.D., we have quite a few informants. In the end, everyone has weaknesses, and there's no one in this world that money can't overcome."
The Hellfire Club is an organization centered around powerful superhumans, along with celebrities and the world's wealthiest individuals, making their financial power extremely formidable.
Just like Psylocke, besides being a top-tier Level 3 mutant, she is also a top-tier female billionaire.
Perhaps one wealthy woman doesn't represent anything, but many wealthy women working together as one force is a power that no one can ignore.
“Alright,” Bai Ye said, “Characters from Norse mythology have appeared in New Mexico: Thor, Loki, Odin, the king of the gods… I estimate that a great era is about to begin, and many legends, myths, and aliens may descend upon Earth. Your Hellfire Club may have held a considerable position in the known world of the past, but be careful not to capsize in the great upheaval of the future.”
"The gods of Norse mythology?" Psylocke asked. "White Night, in your opinion, what exactly are these so-called gods like?"
Bai Ye: "Loki, the God of Evil, is stronger than a typical Level 3 mutant, but definitely weaker than a Level 4 mutant. Thor, the God of Thunder, is probably on par with a Level 4 mutant. As for Odin, the King of the Gods, it's hard to describe, but most Level 5 mutants would be swept away by him. Only a peak Level 5 mutant might have a chance to contend with him."
Psylocke fell silent.
On Earth today, the only recognized Level 4 mutants are Magneto, the top leader of the mutant underworld, and Professor X, the top leader of the mutant legitimate world.
As for Level 5 mutants, they only exist in imagination and have never actually appeared—only Professor X and Magneto know about Jean Grey, the Phoenix, so Level 5 mutants do not exist in the public consciousness.
"This world changes so fast!" Psylocke sighed and said, "I used to think that even if I wasn't the strongest on Earth, I should at least be in the top tier. But when mythology came to life, I realized just how weak I really am!"
Bai Ye: "You don't need to underestimate yourself. Your superpower potential is quite good. With telepathy and mental energy manipulation, it has good effects whether it's ranged combat, melee combat, or support. If you break through to level four mutant in the future, you'll be like a dragon soaring into the sky, unstoppable!"
……
John McLean took the public elevator to his wife's company floor.
The company is holding a party.
Many handsome men and beautiful women dressed as waiters were serving drinks on trays.
John McLean is looking for his wife.
But then an elderly Asian man appeared before him, smiling.
"You must be Mr. McLean?"
John McLean: "You are..."
Asian elderly man: "My name is Aoki, and I'm Holly's boss. I must say, Mr. McLean, you have a wonderful wife. She's very capable and has helped me a lot."
John McLean: "Thank you, and she..."
Aoki: "Oh, Holly went downstairs to photocopy some documents, she'll be right back! This way, please, her office is right here!"
As he spoke, Aoki led John McLean toward his wife's office.
Aoki: "What would you like to eat? Food, pastries, or champagne?"
John McLean looked at the family photo in his wife's office: "No, thank you, I'm not hungry."
Aoki: "Actually, we just closed a big deal today, and Holly is the main contributor..."
As they were talking, Holly, wearing a red shirt, appeared at the office door with photocopied documents in her hand.
"John?"
……
"Alright, let's not talk about those unpleasant things for now." Psylocke composed herself and smiled, "We're having a really big party here today, come and join the fun!"
"Okay!"
Bai Ye smiled.
Well, Bai Ye has seen quite a few beautiful women on the way here, so attending this party will definitely be worthwhile.
Of course, Baiye's main target is definitely Psylocke.
If you don't go out of your way to woo a billionaire woman, but instead try to seduce some female secretary, wouldn't you be out of your mind?
Lingdie found Bai Ye a tuxedo, had him put it on, and then stepped back to look him over.
"Yes, very good!"
Even from Psylocke's perspective, it must be said that Byakuya's looks have almost reached the pinnacle of human beauty.
"Chairman, the party is about to begin."
The female secretary who had previously received Bai Ye knocked on the door and came in, saying...
"I see."
Psylocke responded.
And so, Lingdie took Baiye's arm, and the two walked hand in hand.
Bai Ye asked curiously, "Who is this grand party for?"
Psylocke: "Have you heard of Asia's largest biotechnology and medical company?"
Bai Ye's body stiffened, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes: "You're not going to say that the people you're hosting this time are from Yashida Industries in Japan, are you?"
Psylocke: "That's right, it's Yashida Industries from Japan!"
Suddenly.
Psylocke sensed that Bai Ye's body suddenly tensed up.
She looked at the opposite side, somewhat puzzled.
A graceful and pure young girl, dressed in a white evening gown, was holding her father's arm and looking at Bai Ye.
Mariko Yashida.
One of Bai Ye's ex-girlfriends.
Byakuya and Mariko locked eyes.
Deeply affectionate.
A background music track immediately echoed in Mariko's mind:
"Why don't we embrace and then part ways? Why don't we shed tears secretly when we have time? Why don't we give you your freedom this time? Why don't we just pass each other by and not look back? Why don't you say sorry this time, and I'll definitely tell you it's okay? Why don't we go back to our first meeting and hide our love in the cracks of our encounter..."
###Chapter 127 Perhaps we should embrace and then part ways, or perhaps we should shed tears secretly when we have time###
Byakuya and Mariko Yashida met a year ago in Japan.
The two spent a happy and wonderful time together.
But then...
When Mariko's family noticed signs of her being in a relationship, they immediately and sternly ordered her to cut off all contact.
In essence, it's the same old story—marrying someone of equal social standing.
Yashida Industries is one of Japan's largest conglomerates and Asia's largest biotechnology and medical group, with a market value of nearly $100 billion. It is essentially an Asian version of the Osborne Group.
The Yashida family is a long-standing Japanese noble family.
So how could someone like Mariko, with her background, date a man of unknown origin, penniless, and resembling a homeless person?
