Unlike the dark and oppressive atmosphere of Gotham, this place is sunny, filled with skyscrapers, and brimming with hope and optimism.
Nashville is a vibrant and modern coastal city.
The headquarters building of the CATCO multinational media group is one of the city's landmark buildings.
Directly opposite the Catco headquarters, the top floor of an equally luxurious office building has now become Su Hui's new base.
Instead of acting hastily, he patiently observed the life trajectory of his prey, like a hunter. He made a high-profile acquisition of the building across the street, posing as the heir to a mysterious Eastern tycoon, and established an investment company, causing quite a stir in the business world of Naxonnell City.
Selena and Pamela became his most eye-catching right-hand women, one sexy and aloof, the other alluring and charming, they were the focus of everyone's attention wherever they went.
this day,
Su Hui timed it perfectly and arrived at the Catco building alone.
He was going to meet someone, not Carla, but her boss, Kate Grant, the president of the Catco Group.
A chance encounter in business was enough to give him a legitimate reason to be in this building.
Things are going very smoothly.
Given Su Hui's current status and wealth, Kate Grant would be happy to establish connections with this rising business tycoon.
After the brief meeting, Su Hui walked unhurriedly toward the elevator.
He knew that at this time, Kara Danvers would be rushing downstairs to deliver an urgent document.
really,
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a slightly apologetic voice came:
"Wait! Please wait!"
A girl wearing a white shirt and a blue pencil skirt, black-rimmed glasses, and blonde hair tied in a ponytail, rushed in somewhat clumsily, carrying a stack of documents.
It was Kara Danvers.
She was tall and fit, and even conservative business attire could not hide her stunning curves.
The white shirt was stretched taut by her full breasts, as if it would burst at any moment.
Below her slender waist were pert, rounded hips, which were outlined in a perfect curve by the blue bodycon skirt.
Beneath the skirt were two long, straight legs encased in flesh-colored stockings, exuding strength and youthful vitality.
She looked like a typical, somewhat clumsy urban white-collar worker, with just the right amount of panic and apology on her face.
"Sorry, sorry."
As she tidied the documents in her arms, she gave Su Hui, the only passenger in the elevator, a friendly and slightly shy smile.
Su Hui simply smiled and nodded without saying a word.
The elevator descended smoothly.
Suddenly, the entire elevator car jolted violently, all the lights went out instantly, and then, amidst a piercing metallic scraping sound, the elevator abruptly stopped.
"Oh my God!"
Kara gasped in surprise, and the documents in her arms scattered all over the floor.
The emergency lights came on, illuminating her somewhat panicked face.
"Damn it, not again?"
She muttered something under her breath, seemingly used to this situation.
She first pressed the emergency call button, but there was no response.
Then, she glanced at the excessively handsome man beside her and smiled somewhat shyly:
"Looks like we're stuck. But don't worry, this little glitch will be fixed soon."
Su Hui leaned against the wall of the sedan chair, watching her with great interest.
Kara waited for a few minutes and found that there was no movement outside.
She glanced at her watch, and her expression turned anxious.
The documents in her arms had to be delivered to the partner downstairs within ten minutes.
She secretly glanced at Su Hui and saw that he had his eyes closed, as if he was resting.
A bold idea rose in her mind.
She took a deep breath, walked to the elevator door, squatted down, and inserted her hands into the gap of the elevator door.
In Su Hui's perception, a terrifying power far exceeding human limits erupted from her seemingly slender arm.
"Squeak-"
The elevator door, made of special steel, groaned under the weight of her hands as she forcefully pried it open to both sides.
She carefully controlled her strength, trying to pry open just enough for her to squeeze through without leaving any obvious marks.
Just as she was about to succeed in widening the door gap enough for one person to pass through, a calm voice came from behind her.
"Do you need help?"
Kara's body froze instantly, and the color drained from her face in a flash.
She mechanically turned her head and saw that the man had opened his eyes at some point and was looking at her with a half-smile, as well as at her arm, which was exerting force and with veins slightly bulging.
"Ah...I...this..."
Kara's mind went blank for a moment, and she tried to explain incoherently, "This door...it seems to be stuck, I...I want to see if I can...open it a little to let some air in..."
Even she herself found the excuse lame.
Su Hui admired the flustered pretty face in front of him.
He didn't expose her, but simply walked slowly to her and placed his hand on the elevator door.
With a light flick of the finger!
"Let me do it."
"Ding!"
After a crisp sound, accompanied by a soft mechanical reset, the previously stuck elevator doors slowly slid open to both sides.
Kara stared in disbelief at the scene, her bespectacled cheeks as red as apples.
How did this man manage to do something so effortlessly?
Could he... be...?
Seeing Kara's horrified expression, Su Hui's smile grew even gentler.
He straightened his suit and then extended his hand to her.
“Su Hui. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Kara Danvers…”
He paused, his deep eyes meeting her blue ones, and said, word by word:
"Or should I call you Kara Zoel?"
boom!
These words struck Kara like a thunderbolt.
The panic and shock on her face vanished instantly, replaced by an unprecedented vigilance and solemnity.
Her biofield began to fluctuate violently and uncontrollably, and the surrounding air seemed to become viscous.
She stared intently at the gentle-smiling man before her, countless thoughts swirling in her mind.
Who is he?
How could he know my true identity?
Are they from the DEO (Supernormal Operations Department)? Or... my father's enemy?
Kara suppressed the turmoil in her heart and forced herself to calm down.
She didn't respond to Su Hui. Instead, she picked up the documents from the ground, walked past him without a word, and hurried away from this suffocating place.
All she wants now is to find her sister Alex immediately and tell her everything that happened here.
But she had only taken two steps when Su Hui's unhurried voice came from behind her again.
"An orphan from Krypton, who gained godlike power under Earth's yellow sun, is willing to hide himself and be an ordinary assistant."
Aren't you curious how I know all this?
Su Hui leaned against the elevator door frame, his voice carrying an irresistible magnetism.
"To be honest, I'm quite interested in you, Kara Zoel. Really...won't you two talk?"
Kara finally stopped walking.
Kara's back was ramrod straight, and her golden ponytail seemed to be coated with a layer of cold frost under the emergency light. She slowly turned around, and her eyes, which were originally as pure as the sky, were now sharp as knives, locked on Su Hui.
"who are you?"
Her voice was low, with a barely perceptible tremor. This was no longer a question, but an interrogation.
"Someone who has no ill intentions towards you and can answer many of your questions."
Su Hui's smile remained unchanged, and his composure and calmness intensified Kara's unease.
"follow me."
Kara took a deep breath and made her decision.
Whoever the other person is, she must figure out his purpose.
Moreover, this is a public place, not suitable for talking, much less... for taking action.
She led Su Hui, avoiding all the surveillance cameras, and quickly walked into the deserted fire escape stairwell on one side of the building.
The heavy fire door in the stairwell slammed shut, cutting off all outside noise.
Kara Zoel turned around, her azure eyes now devoid of any pretense, replaced by a cold wariness and scrutiny.
She casually tossed the documents in her arms onto the ground, crossed her arms, and stared down at Su Hui with a condescending air.
"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose?" Her voice was cold, carrying the arrogance of a Kryptonian. "Deo? Or one of my unknown enemies?"
She chose this deserted stairwell so that she could act without hesitation if necessary. No matter who the other person was, if they dared to show any malice, she was confident she could subdue them in a fraction of a second.
Su Hui glanced around the cramped space and smiled. "Don't be so nervous, Kara. Like I said, I just want to talk to you."
“I have nothing to say to you.” Kara’s patience was wearing thin. “This is the last time. State your identity and purpose, or else…”
Before she could finish speaking, she began to move.
Without any warning, her figure vanished from her spot in an instant, leaving behind a sharp, explosive sound.
This was a supersonic leap; the average person's naked eye couldn't even capture her movements.
She was confident that at such close range, no living being on Earth would be able to react in time.
Her right hand blurred into a blur, its target aimed directly at Su Hui's neck.
She didn't intend to kill him; she just wanted to control this mysterious man first and then interrogate him slowly.
But the next second, her five fingers, strong enough to pierce steel, were casually grasped by a warm and powerful hand.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Kara stared wide-eyed at Su Hui's face, which was so close to hers.
The smile on his face didn't change at all, as if he had already anticipated her every move.
How can it be? !
Her incredible speed seemed like slow motion in front of this man.
Before she could recover from her shock, Su Hui gently pulled her wrist, while simultaneously shifting his body to the side following her momentum.
Kara felt an irresistible force coming from her, and she was thrown forward involuntarily, brushing past Su Hui.
Su Hui followed closely behind, and before she hit the wall, he reached out his other arm, wrapped it around her soft waist, and pressed her against the cold wall.
