Inside a luxurious private club's VIP room.
A woman named Sylph sat opposite Han Sen, her words and demeanor revealing a strong and confident aura of someone long accustomed to a high position.
Her physique was impeccably maintained, and a well-tailored business suit perfectly showcased the alluring curves of a mature woman.
Her wine-red wavy hair was meticulously styled, and her sapphire-blue eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if they could see through people's hearts.
She represented an emerging organization called "NEO. HEROES" and had come bearing an olive branch that, in her view, could not be refused.
"We have been following you for a long time, Mr. Han Sen."
Sylph got straight to the point, without any pretense: "Through special channels, we learned that you once rejected the Hero Association's invitation, but we at 'NEO. HEROES' are different!"
"We… are better at discovering and respecting true powerhouses."
In response, Han Sen raised an eyebrow noncommittally.
It was clear that she was a woman accustomed to controlling the pace of negotiations, and every word she uttered carried weight.
"Oh, really?"
Han Sen leaned back on the soft sofa, completely unaffected by her imposing presence, not even bothering to adjust his posture.
He simply picked up the coffee in front of him, gently blew on it, and with a calm gaze, gestured for her to continue her performance.
This disregard made Sylph more uncomfortable than any direct confrontation.
Her fair hand subconsciously tightened slightly; she probably hadn't expected the elaborate aura she had carefully cultivated to be like a mud ox entering the sea in front of him, failing to stir even a ripple.
This was an extremely rare occurrence in her many years of professional life.
However, to hold the position of HR Director at NEO, her professional capabilities were, after all, top-notch.
Sylph quickly composed herself, smiled confidently, and tried to regain the initiative.
"Mr. Han Sen, I can guess what you're thinking! You must also know that although the Hero Association appears to be at its peak on the surface, its internal corruption has actually permeated its very core."
"They rely on an outdated S-class system to categorize heroes, yet they turn a blind eye to true powerhouses, even suppressing and ostracizing them. Just look at Mr. King; besides a mere title, has the Association ever given him any substantial support?"
Han Sen: ?
Looking at this professional headhunter beauty, her face beaming with an "I understand you" expression, several question marks couldn't help but pop up above Han Sen's head.
Although some parts of her analysis were indeed true, using King as an example...
I think you completely misunderstand (Jie Ge pushing glasses).JPG
Opposite him, Sylph was already fully in her element: "The outdated hero system allows a large number of mediocre individuals to mingle within the hero ranks!"
"Facing the increasingly severe Monster disasters, their response will only become more stretched, paying for their incompetence with the lives of innocent civilians."
Sylph's words were clearly pointed, and her voice and demeanor became increasingly confident: "But we at 'NEO. HEROES' are different!"
"We can dispatch more reliable personnel than the Hero Association, using collective strength and cutting-edge technology to rescue more innocent lives!"
Her voice was powerful and resonant, every word precisely striking the Hero Association's weak points, full of incitement.
"The emergence of 'NEO. HEROES' will completely change the chaotic state of professional heroes!"
Sylph took out an ultra-thin tablet from her custom-made handbag, tapped the screen lightly with her finger, and a soft light illuminated it.
On the screen appeared a heavy battle suit full of streamlined, futuristic technology.
The battle suit was primarily black and white, its overall style resembling a form-fitting exoskeleton armor like Genji or White Ghost, with all armor modules interlocking with the human skeletal and muscular structures, giving it a powerful and futuristic appearance.
Various dazzling data parameters scrolled by, from defense, strength amplification, and speed enhancement, to energy shields, automatic targeting, and environmental adaptation...
Each item far exceeded the technological level of this era.
"This is the 'NEO Battle Suit' we tailored for true heroes, crafted from the latest developed memory alloy and bio-active fibers." Sylph's tone was full of pride, "Its basic performance is enough to give an ordinary person with excellent physical fitness the combat power comparable to an Demon-level Monster. Even against a Dragon-level disaster, it has the power to fight!"
"And for a powerhouse like you, its strength amplification might exceed your imagination!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Han Sen suddenly chuckled and put down his coffee cup.
"Uh, is there a problem...?"
Just at the moment of eye contact, Sylph felt a fine layer of cold sweat break out on her back, and her heart began to pound uncontrollably.
The man in front of her was like a prehistoric beast feigning sleep; merely opening his eyes a crack made her feel an unprecedented pressure.
"Don't be nervous." Han Sen's lips curved into a playful arc, "Your technology is very interesting. Continue your introduction."
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and her fingers, somewhat stiffly, swiped across the tablet.
The screen switched again, displaying an organizational chart covering the entire supercontinent.
An efficient command center, rapid response units, logistical support systems, intelligence analysis departments...
Everything appeared well-organized, imbued with the management efficiency of a modern enterprise.
"Mr. Han Sen, we have abundant funds, cutting-edge technology, and the most rational management system." Sylph, speaking again, finally realized what kind of existence she was facing.
Her voice was already unconsciously tinged with a tremor.
"At NEO, heroes no longer fight alone; they will receive the most comprehensive support."
"Every deployment will have precise intelligence analysis; every battle will have strong logistical support; every injury will receive top-tier medical services."
"Heroes only need to do one thing—"
Sylph looked at Han Sen with burning eyes, trying to use the power in her words to conceal her inner turmoil.
"That is, to uphold justice."
She put away the tablet, leaned forward again, her beautiful eyes almost touching Han Sen's face, exhaling like orchids, making her final effort.
"Mr. Han Sen, you are a powerhouse who has been overlooked."
"What the Hero Association cannot give you, we at 'NEO' can."
"The highest level of authority, the most generous treatment, the most advanced equipment, and... a stage grand enough to make your name known worldwide."
"We sincerely invite you to become one of 'NEO. HEROES''s aces, the first in our organization—"
"NEO Captain!"
