Anne's smile froze, and she said unwillingly, "I think I can do it better!"
"Oh? That's just your opinion!"
Aaron continued to shake his head.
"Are you willing to pay any price to become a member of the Big Seven?"
Anne clenched her fists and said firmly, "Of course, even if it costs me my life!"
"Very well, let's go then!"
"Let's try going through the back door."
This time, it wasn't Aaron who spoke, but Firecracker.
"Go through the back door?" Annie looked puzzled; she didn't understand.
Isn't this just trying to use back channels?
Firecracker said with a hint of amusement, "Yes, through the back door, literally."
"To become one of the Big Seven, you must prove you're willing to give anything for it."
"Including...backdoors!"
Annie looked down following the mysterious gaze of the firecrackers, her expression changing slightly!
"No! This is not allowed!"
She turned to leave.
The firecrackers stopped her, but not forcefully.
Anne grabbed the firecracker's arm; with just a little effort, she could push it away.
Her abilities began to activate, and the surrounding buildings crackled with electricity. This current surged into her body, transforming into a powerful force that temporarily amplified her physique.
but
Firecracker smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't get excited, I know you are very powerful."
"But the problem is, I'm a superhero in Florida, and Aaron is an even bigger superstar."
"So, if we speak up, you know, you'll never be one of the Seven."
"Especially after you attacked me."
Anne was stunned. "An attack?!"
The sound of firecrackers was like a demon's whisper: "Iowa's sweetheart, the guardian of Des Moines, has attacked the superhero Firecracker and two innocent people due to her mental breakdown."
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I'm the host of the 'Firecracker Takes You to See the Truth' program."
"Yes, you're right. That alone is enough to make you disappear from this industry completely!"
"Then you can only tuck your tail between your legs and go home crying to your mother."
Anne turned pale, staggered back two steps, and looked at the firecrackers as if they were demons!
The firecrackers laughed, as if they had gotten their revenge.
He was a bit manic, and somewhat venting his anger.
She continued, “Think of all those children, I mean those children who idolize you.”
"And your supporters..."
"I mean, they will be devastated. Their idols, their dreams, will be shattered."
“Annie, Starlight, that’s not what you really think, is it?”
The firecrackers were pointed at Aaron, but Gwen had disappeared without a trace.
"It's time to make a choice: either leave this room or try the back door."
"I think you can bear with it for a bit, um, it'll only be a few hours."
"It's no big deal."
"In this society, who doesn't use connections?"
"And then do you know what will happen?"
"That's right, all your dreams will come true. You will become one of the Seven Giants, a guardian of the world, wear the crown, receive countless accolades, and attain supreme glory!"
Aaron nodded; firecrackers have the potential to fool people.
With just a slight hint, he was able to apply what he learned to other situations and seize upon Annie's weaknesses to launch a fierce attack.
Anne has now completely lost her composure.
She watched Aaron approach, step by step, with a bewildered look on her face.
My mind is filled with thoughts of backdoors...
Can dreams come true simply by using back channels?
Maybe... I can bear it for a little while, just a little?
Firecracker is right, it's no big deal.
That's just how society is.
What she paid was nothing more than a negligible price.
After today,
She will become one of the Seven, and her mother will be proud of her.
correct,
Before leaving, her mother instructed herself to make sure Aaron had a good time.
That means... at all costs, am I right? That should be it.
so. . .
Annie took the initiative to step forward.
Aaron let her do as she pleased.
Anne showed no reluctance.
She was very proactive.
Even on the first occasion, they were even threatened with firecrackers.
However, Anne was not dissatisfied, at least not with Aaron.
Perhaps she was afraid or unwilling, or perhaps she was threatened by the firecrackers that followed.
At least in this context, and even in Anne's own mind, she was not unwilling to let Aaron get in through connections.
This is probably because... it's purely a numbers monster, right?
The term "numerical monster" refers not only to modeling but also to another aspect.
Anne admitted that she had overestimated herself.
The back door isn't so easy to access.
In this society where personal connections matter, sometimes you have to pay the price for using connections to get things done.
After all, there's always a storm before the rainbow!
Chapter 324 Homelanders Block the Door, Starlight Shatters Moral Values
"Please, please don't..."
"Ah—no! Firecracker, what are you doing? Don't do this!"
"You little bitch, you call yourself the Guardian of Maine, and this is all you've got? How are you going to protect the city? How are you going to become one of the Seven Giants?"
"Alright, let me help you. Don't move, I'll push you. Have you forgotten what your mother said? You must let Aaron have his fill!"
"What? You don't want it? No way! I'm not as vicious as you. Forget about taking turns using the back door. Now you sit down properly!"
Once the main event began, the firecrackers shed their disguise and revealed their true colors.
She was triumphant and arrogant, venting all the hatred she felt when she was a teenager and was slandered.
Seeing the other person's belly bulging high, as if she were several months pregnant, she burst into excited laughter.
"Hahaha, I never thought you'd end up like this! Ten years ago, when you were spreading rumors to the media, did you ever imagine that ten years later you would be the one getting preferential treatment?"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly exclaimed, "Hey... wait, it's not me, it's her!"
"She's useless, now it's your turn."
How could Aaron be satisfied with just one Anne?
From this day forward, firecrackers and starlight will both become his women.
As a proper mistress of the Crystal Palace, one must ensure harmony and peace within the harem.
Have a grudge? No problem. Fight side by side and join hands to resist the enemy, and all hatred will vanish.
After all, with Aaron, the great demon king, none of them could stand against them in a one-on-one fight.
Unity then became inevitable.
day to day,
Aaron was getting down to business.
After all, Annie had already paid the fee.
As outstanding young people in the new society.
You have to do things after you've received payment.
His reputation has always been excellent.
Putting everything else aside, just looking at how hard Annie is working, Aaron should definitely lend her a hand.
You need to let people know that by giving him a back door, he will surely get what he wants.
The previous one was a firecracker.
The reviews are fantastic.
Now it's Anne's turn.
Anne moved slowly, like a snail, step by step, until she reached Aaron's side.
It was only a few meters, but it took her several tens of seconds to walk that distance.
It's important to know that people who have received Compound V injections are typically equipped with self-healing abilities.
Annie, being such an outstanding individual, possesses remarkably good self-healing abilities.
However, it has been difficult to return to normal even now.
Aaron had a million ways to help her, but the firecrackers had to vent their anger first.
Annie asked in a hoarse, expectant voice, "Aaron, what about the Seven Giants...? How should we handle this?"
Although Anne already knew from the firecracker why she had been given special treatment and that Aaron was not a member of the Water Corporation, she still did not forget her position among the Seven Giants and held great expectations for it.
Putting everything else aside, I've paid such a high price, I can't just go back empty-handed, would that be a waste?
"Don't worry, I've already promised you the position of one of the Seven Giants, and I mean what I say!"
Aaron reassured her, but Annie hesitated and said, "But... the Seven Giants aren't confirmed yet, do we need to add another one?"
“That’s not a problem. The Lamplighter has served as one of the Seven for long enough that, for some reason, he has to retire whether he likes it or not.”
"On the one hand, he was too weak, and on the other hand, he had other ideas."
Anne's face lit up with joy, even though she doubted the veracity of the words; it was indeed a glimmer of hope.
The recent high frequency of talent shows held by Vought International around the world has raised suspicions about ulterior motives.
Perhaps Wot Corporation is looking for a new alternative?
Aaron noticed Anne's confusion, but he did not offer any explanation.
