Chapter 173 The first confrontation
When Kara came back from jogging, they were both ready to go. Kara glanced at Ling Yuan and realized that she had to go out with Ling Yuan today. Ling Yuan and Maeve were waiting for her to come back.
"Wait a moment, I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes!" Kara didn't wait for Ling Yuan to speak, she walked straight into the bathroom and took her Superman suit into the bathroom.
Ling Yuan and Maeve looked at each other and smiled. Ling Yuan took out his phone and sat back on the sofa. Maeve also smiled helplessly, poured herself a cup of coffee, and stood in front of the French window looking outside.
"Can I still come and live here in the future?" Maeve asked calmly without looking back, looking out the window.
"Of course!" Ling Yuan smiled slightly, "That room will be reserved for you forever. You can come and stay here anytime you want!"
Maeve's slightly upturned lips outlined a faint smile, like the first bud blooming in spring, exuding a charming fragrance. That smile was like a warm current, quietly flowing into my heart, dispelling the haze that had been shrouding my heart for a long time. This feeling was strange and familiar, as if a traveler lost in the vast desert suddenly found an oasis, making people intoxicated.
She couldn't help but wonder, how long had it been since she had experienced such tenderness? Ever since she entered the Water Group and joined the Seven, she had been surrounded by darkness and hypocrisy. Now, Ling Yuan, a man she had only met a few times, had once again awakened the warmth that had been dormant in her heart for a long time.
At this moment, Kara walked out of the bathroom with light steps. She was wearing the eye-catching Superman suit, as if she was emitting an incomparable radiance. The gentle and housekeeping aura disappeared at this moment, replaced by a heroic and majestic aura.
Maeve stared at the new Kara with her eyes wide open, and for a moment she even forgot to look away. She couldn't help but sigh: As a woman, she was also attracted by the charm Kara showed at the moment, and couldn't help but want to keep staring at her.
"Ling Yuan, I'm ready!" Kara said to Ling Yuan with a smile.
Ling Yuan glanced at Maeve's stunned eyes and couldn't help wanting to laugh. Kara's original temperament, coupled with Supergirl's battle suit, not only attracted the attention of men, but even women.
"Then let's go! If you stay any longer, Maeve's eyes will grow on you!"
Hearing Ling Yuan's somewhat resentful tone and teasing eyes, Kara's eyes also fell on Maeve. Maeve's face turned red, she coughed twice to divert her attention, and walked to Ling Yuan's side pretending to be casual.
The three of them were walking on the street, and everyone turned around to look at them. Maeve was a well-known superhero, and after being transformed by the Honkai energy, her beauty reached its peak. Coupled with her charming purple eyes and the magenta diamond crystal on her chest, she was so beautiful that it touched people's hearts.
Kara's eye-catching Superman suit outlines her perfect figure, and her short brown hair, coupled with her heroic temperament, attracts a lot of attention. After all, how many men can resist a woman who looks so beautiful and heroic?
As for Ling Yuan, with his handsome oriental face and nearly two meters tall, if it weren't for Kara and Maeve by his side, he would probably be surrounded by enthusiastic women. In a black windbreaker and black trousers, black Martin boots and a pure white shirt, Ling Yuan looked handsome and stern.
When the three of them arrived downstairs at the Water Group, there was already a large circle of people surrounding them. In the eyes of passers-by, anyone who could walk with Maeve was undoubtedly a superhero. Ling Yuan and Kara were both so beautiful that many passers-by became their fans, so the people following behind the three of them were their fans.
In the lobby on the first floor of the Water Group, Madeline, who had been waiting here early, twitched her mouth. She really didn't expect that Ling Yuan and the woman who fought with him were so beautiful and had such amazing temperament that they could attract a large number of people just by walking on the street.
Seeing the three people walking to the entrance of the group, Madeline quickly stood up to greet them, adjusted her expression, put on a smile, walked up to Ling Yuan and extended her hand.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ling Yuan! I am the vice president of the Water Group and the person in charge of recruiting Mr. Ling Yuan. Let's go up and talk!"
Ling Yuan glanced at Madeline and nodded, his expression very calm. Madeline was a little dissatisfied, but thinking of Ling Yuan's strength, she had to suppress her dissatisfaction and smiled as she led the three of them to the elevator.
Ling Yuan looked at Madeline, his face expressionless but full of disdain in his heart. He could sense that Madeline was definitely a little dissatisfied with him at that moment, but because even his countrymen could not suppress his strength, Madeline chose to compromise.
The people outside the door who had followed the three people all the way watched them enter the Water Group, and all kinds of speculations spread in their minds at once.
Madeline brought the three people into her office. The secretary poured a cup of coffee for each of them. Madeline sat opposite Ling Yuan and looked at Ling Yuan and Kara.
"Mr. Ling Yuan, we have all seen the battle between you and this lady and the mysterious man in the Atlantic Ocean. The shareholders of the group have unanimously decided to recruit Mr. Ling Yuan. The group can give Mr. Ling Yuan and this lady any resources as long as Mr. Ling Yuan is willing to join us!"
Madeline's words sounded sincere at first, but in fact, it was a test for Ling Yuan. She wanted to see if Ling Yuan was the same as the people in her country. If he had desires and demands, it meant that he could be controlled. The most feared were those who had no desires and demands. Even if such people could be recruited, they could not be truly controlled.
"As for me! What we want most is freedom. Ms. Madeline should know that the stronger we are, the easier it is to get money and power!" Ling Yuan smiled slightly. Facing Madeline's temptation, he chose to answer Madeline in a clever way.
Madeline frowned slightly. Ling Yuan's words were undoubtedly telling her that what the Water Group lacked, he, Ling Yuan, also had it, and he even possessed a more terrifying strength than the Water Group.
"Freedom! Is that all you want?" Madeline asked doubtfully. "If you can help ordinary people as a superhero, then freedom is just a piece of cake. What's more, if you join the Vought Group, you can also serve the country and solve things like wars. Think about it! When peace comes, the freedom you pursue will be easier to obtain!"
"Really? I remember that not long ago, Ms. Madeline, you were rejected by the congressman for a group of seven to join the army!" Ling Yuan smiled slightly, but he did not give in at all.
Madeline's face turned extremely ugly for a moment, but she was not angry because of Ling Yuan's words. Madeline, who had been in the business world for a long time, knew at this moment that she could not be angry. Once she angered Ling Yuan, she would not be able to bear the consequences.
"There will be opportunities in the future, please rest assured, Mr. Lingyuan!" Madeline said with an awkward smile.
