"Because the pleasure produced by plunder far exceeds all means of production."

Xia Shang said with a smile.

"That's really philosophical. Let me treat you to a drink after get off work?" Baruch raised the coffee in his hand.

Xia Shang put the phone screen in front of his eyes and shook it, "Sorry, I've already been booked."

Looking at the beautiful woman's profile picture on the phone screen, Baruch said sourly: "Damn it, our friendship was actually defeated by a beautiful woman."

"The beauty invites you to go, isn't she?"

"Nonsense, I will definitely bring a rose when the time comes."

The two looked at each other and then laughed.

On the other side, since the Invisible Man was absent from a hype event to visit cancer patients, he had to be replaced by Locomotive. At first, Madeleine did not take the Invisible Man's loss of contact seriously. After all, the Invisible Man had a history of alcoholism. The guy probably fell asleep in a bar somewhere.

But as time passed, Madeleine still couldn't contact the invisible man.

There is no way, for the next commercial shooting of Invisible Man, we must find invisible people.

So Madeleine came to the Vought Group Supervision Department, which is responsible for supervising the locations of superheroes. They can determine the location of each other through the trackers in the superheroes' bodies.

"Help me find the invisible man's location."

"Okay, we were able to search for the invisible man's chip three hours ago. The last place he appeared was in this area of ​​Jersey City, probably within the ten blocks." Female staff member Annika , call up the map screen on your computer.

Clearly Madeleine was not satisfied with this general answer.

"This is your most accurate search result?"

"It's possible that the signal was interfered by something..." Annika was still explaining, but was interrupted by Madeleine.

"Let the Security Department search this area, door to door if necessary, but let them pay attention to their methods. I don't want to cause any more public relations problems. They have been busy enough recently." After Madeleine finished explaining, Left in a hurry.

…………

An outdoor cafe in downtown New York.

"Have a latte with more milk, thank you." Xia Shang said to the waiter.

"Please bring me an espresso."

Xia Shang looked at the starlight on the opposite seat and said with a smile: "To be honest, I don't like the pure bitter taste of coffee. It would be more perfect if you add some milk and sugar."

"You seem to be in a bad mood."

"You're right, those superheroes are just a bunch of bastards." Even though a few days had passed, Xingguang still couldn't restrain the anger in her heart when she thought about what happened that day.

"Are you being harassed?" Xia Shang lowered his head and arranged the tableware in front of him, arranging them neatly.

Xingguang felt a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "How do you know?"

Xia Shang suddenly raised his head and looked aside. He actually sensed the radio waves from the deep sea approaching him.

However, he did not show any surprise, but looked at Xingguang without changing his expression.

"When a woman first enters the workplace and expresses anger about her environment, she may have been sexually harassed. This probability is 60%, and this probability will increase as the woman's appearance improves, so this It’s not hard to guess.”

"Okay, you guessed it." Xingguang leaned on the chair, "If it weren't for you, the ending might be different now. It's ridiculous to say that I was almost deceived by a fish-like guy. .”

"A fish-like guy, you mean the deep sea, so this description is quite appropriate." Xia Shang nodded and took the coffee from the waiter.

"Thanks."

At this moment, Starlight is no longer the rookie who just arrived. She has her own assessment of the power distribution of the Seven: "Everyone thinks he is a joke, a joke whose superpowers can only be used to talk to fish."

"It's a pity that the masses don't think so. After all, being able to conquer the sea is an ambition that humans have had since the birth of mankind."

In the distance, a guy wearing a dark green suit that looked like a diving suit walked towards the two of them.

"Oh, Starlight, are you dating someone else? If you are photographed by the media, the huge public opinion will make you get out of the Seven Team in an instant."

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

"Xie Te, Deep Sea, you are following me." Starlight stood up from her position subconsciously, and then, the surrounding lights began to flicker. Perhaps in her heart, she felt a little afraid of Deep Sea's words.

She was afraid that she would lose her current life in the spotlight. If she were to become an ordinary girl in the small town of Des Moines again, she would go crazy.

"It's not a big problem. Even if I am photographed, my identity can be described as a junior high school classmate who was bullied by Xingguang. Moreover, I relied on my own efforts to successfully enter the Vought Group and work again. I met my old classmates who helped me.

Think about it, what a touching story this is. Even though Starlight became a superhero, she never forgot her classmates. Once this becomes popular, I believe her popularity will more than triple. Xia Shang said with a smile while stirring the coffee with a silver spoon.

"Are you from the public relations department?"

Shen Hai's voice was a little softer when he spoke. Ma De, these bullshit from the public relations department didn't even have to do anything to kill people. In order to avoid being judged in the future, he didn't want to offend the public relations department.

"No, I am the deputy director of the Security Department. My name is Xia Shang. Nice to meet you, Mr. Shenhai."

Xia Shang stood up and shook hands with Shen Hai in a very friendly manner.

"Security Department? Well, I think you are more suitable for the Public Relations Department."

"Thank you, I think so too, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe I will be transferred to the public relations department in a few days."

Shenhai originally planned to come here to cause trouble for Xia Shang, but now it has made him unable to get off the stage.

"I happen to be passing by, you continue."

Deep shrugged and left alone.

Looking at his leaving figure, Starlight returned to her seat and said, "You see, he is just a clown."

Xia Shang smiled and said nothing, silently drinking the coffee in his cup.

Although Deep Sea is very weak, it is very popular in the United States. Compared with Locomotive, it is easier to control. After all, this guy's weakness is too obvious. Who would have thought that this guy's lover is an octopus.

"Was that your super power just now? I'm curious what your super power is?" Xia Shang pointed to the light bulb above his head.

"By absorbing electrical energy I can convert it into light energy. The more electricity I absorb, the stronger my attack becomes."

With that said, Xingguang began to demonstrate his super power in front of Xia Shang.

I saw that as the pupils of her eyes lit up, the surrounding light bulbs flashed rapidly, and finally went out with a snap. When the light bulbs went out, two beams of light shot out from her eyes.

Xia Shang has been professionally trained. No matter how funny it is, he will never laugh unless he can't help it.
