-You're the one who attacked me at the slave market!- Ember shouted, filled with rage, if it weren't for Black Star, he wouldn't have failed in his mission.
Han Xiao also paused his movement, as if he were shocked too, his body was covered by the mechanical suit, but he still pretended to have reached the same conclusion as Ember at that moment, he did this precisely to hide the fact that he knew who they were from the beginning.
After all, if they noticed anything, they would understand that he was probably the one who had used the Dark Star name before to find the Black Bead.
On the night of the attack, because the area was experiencing a blackout and they were wearing masks and mechanical suits, they didn't know each other's identities. And now, they have met again by chance.
Han Xiao was the first person to be immune to Ember's [Carbon Atom Deconstruction], despite being a lower Rank. Although it was only a short battle, he left such a strong impression on Ember that he wouldn't be able to forget it.
Although initially shocked, Ember quickly calmed down and smiled. He brushed aside his careless attitude, and his eyes were filled with curiosity and a desire for battle. -Our last battle was too short to determine a winner. This time, I'm not in a hurry.
For someone as arrogant as Ember, even if Han Xiao couldn't be killed in seconds, it only made him more interesting to him, it was like someone with a max-level account who could kill everyone with one hit suddenly discovering someone who could withstand his attack.
He was sure he would win, he just wanted to know how far his opponent could push him to fight.
The witness was the reason the attack was exposed, and his true identity was the target this time, Black Star. Fueled by old and new grudges, Ember was filled with fighting spirit. He decided to go all out this time.
Ember's hand grasped the air, and black carbon dust formed a double-edged diamond sword, extremely hard yet flexible due to Ember's powers.
Seeing the diamond sword, Han Xiao could only think. - 'Hey, is your name Ember or Steve?'
The fight began as Ember attacked head-on, using carbon dust to attack Han Xiao from the sides. Han Xiao didn't stand still either, releasing seven sonic spheres. With the limited space created by Ember, sonic attacks were perfect for the situation.
His mechanical scythe opened as the floating shield module hovered around his body, he was ready for combat.
Since he had no signal, he couldn't summon his equipment box for an army battle, so he could only rely on the equipment he had on hand.
-Hide to the side.- Han Xiao pushed Aroshia away, the woman would only be an obstacle at the moment, and none of the attackers paid any attention to her, preferring to deal with Han Xiao directly.
The other Supers also advanced, but Han Xiao, despite being surrounded, was not without resources, he could hold out for a while. Furthermore, he still had the interface with him, and the mission issuing module was still active.
Han Xiao quickly sent a call to his adorable subordinates, he just hoped those guys would hurry up.

As soon as the mission was issued, the players were filled with energy, they jumped and ran straight to Herlous. Herlous was confused as to how the players could know about it, but he didn't doubt them much. Instead, he was worried, trying to contact Han Xiao and failing, so he completely believed them.
Herlous had spent the last few days on the Floating Dragon, so he already understood the inner workings of the group.
Among them, his relationship was better with two people, Wilsander and Hadavy.
Wilsander wasn't much stronger than him, but Hadavy...
Herlous didn't think twice and quickly called Hadavy.
When Hadavy heard what was happening, he became utterly furious. Did anyone really dare attack the Floating Dragon members on their own territory?!
Lately, Hadavy had become completely attached to Ames, feeling his progress every day as if it were months' worth, he was over the moon. For him, Ames was already even more important than a mother!
Insulting Ames in front of Hadavy was now like insulting his parents!
Son of a bitch!
Hadavy, who was playing Wayne Cards with Wilsander, ran off. Upon hearing the news, Wilsander quickly contacted Jenny. He knew that with Hadavy running that way, he wouldn't be able to keep up, so it was best to inform Jenny.
On the other hand, Han Xiao was being much more conservative than in the original, he didn't have Aurora's character summoning card this time, so he had to avoid all kinds of attacks as much as possible.
He only hoped the players could be faster, surrounded by 8 Grade B players, he wouldn't last another minute!
However, when Han Xiao's armor was nearly in tatters, a fierce explosion was followed by the collapse of the entire carbon structure.
Boom~~
A figure descended from the sky and crashed down, making the ground tremble, a crater forming where it landed. Hadavy stood up, looking around, seeing Han Xiao nearly dead, his eyes narrowed with rage.
These guys are really brave to cause trouble in his territory.
Ames: So the territory is yours?
