After Death, I Became a Superhuman

Chapter 29 – Funding has been secured

One day ago.

"I'm really sorry, General Wang."

A man wearing sunglasses and sporting a unique hairstyle leaned back on a soft sofa, swirling a glass of wine in his hand.

His name was Lin Kui, known to everyone in Kantu City and even the entire East Continent. The media called him the trendsetter of the Kantu music scene for the next ten years, especially after his album was released earlier this year and became a huge success.

Lin Kui had a polite but elegant smile on his face. "I'm honored by your appreciation, but my schedule is really tight."

Sitting in front of him was a man named Wang Hongfei. He inherited the family business before he turned thirty and was undoubtedly the richest man in Kantu City. However, people were often more interested in his colorful personal life, especially when he was photographed with cover girls from magazines.@@@@

This time, General Wang had a new companion by his side. She had a beautiful face like a popular internet celebrity and a hot figure. She leaned against Wang Hongfei, smiling sweetly like honey.

Her smile was sweet, but tasted salty.

"Don't be like this, buddy." Wang Hongfei smiled, "I just invited you to sing at my private club. It won't take up too much of your time. Yun Yun really loves listening to your songs..."

As he spoke, he put his arm around the slender waist of the internet celebrity named Yun Yun.

"I really appreciate your support, but my schedule is too tight." Lin Kui remained elegant but slightly proud. "And you should understand that I have never accepted any private..."

"Alright, I know you're a big star and your time is precious, so let's not beat around the bush." Wang Hongfei interrupted, "Mainly, Yun Yun really wants to hear your songs. And of course, I can't let you come here for nothing."

"How much is a ticket for your concert?" he asked.

"Not expensive, the highest price is only ten thousand yuan." Lin Kui straightened his back as he spoke, looking proud like a peacock.

"Oh, let's calculate it like this then. Ten thousand yuan per ticket, and there might be around ten thousand audience members for one concert? I'm not sure, so let's go with that for now."

Wang Hongfei took out a check and started calculating with a pen in his hand.

Lin Kui smiled elegantly. "General Wang, it's not about the money..."

"Don't interrupt me," Wang Hongfei waved his pen, "at the highest ticket price, one concert would be ten million yuan. And of course, there won't be just one concert, right? Let's say we have ten concerts?"

"So, one concert would be... one billion yuan?"

After filling out the check, Wang Hongfei pushed it across the table.

"One billion to have you sing once, are you in?"

Lin Kui looked at the check on the table and fell into deep thought.

...

One day later, now.

"♫ Like a shooting star crossing the night, illuminating the loneliness in my heart ♫~"

In Wang Hongfei's private club, the music resounded loudly like a storm. Lin Kui closed his eyes, holding the microphone and swaying his body, intoxicated by the intense performance.

There was no way around it, Wang Hongfei had given him too much money.

A bodyguard bravely stepped forward, but the moment he approached, a blue light burst from her body, and the bodyguard was sent flying. He tumbled and crashed into the corner of the wall, with a burnt hole in his chest. It seemed like he was dead.

She stood up, swung her arms, and two blue electric arcs burst from her arms. Two people in the room were blasted away, and the invisible electric whip left black marks on the walls. The air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh.

Lin Kui trembled behind the pool table, but fortunately, Leng Mei seemed to have no interest in him at all. She flashed to Wang Hongfei's side, her whole body crackling with blue electric arcs.

"Mei Mei, let's talk about this..." Wang Hongfei tried to remain calm.

Leng Mei stood in front of him, her body crackling with electricity. "Have you ever thought about me, even for a moment?"

"Yes, I think about you every day." Wang Hongfei's true feelings showed, "You make me suffer so much..."

Leng Mei looked expressionless and glanced at Yun Yun, who was trembling beside him, her eyes seemingly filled with mockery.

Wang Hongfei immediately pushed Yun Yun away. "I was just acting with them. The only one I truly care about is you. From the moment I saw you, my heart was captured, and I knew I had found true love..."

Yun Yun, trembling, couldn't help but give him a disdainful look, as if mocking him for only having one script.

"It's too late."

Leng Mei raised her right hand, and the electric currents in her palm seemed to pass a merciless judgment.

"Apologize in your next life."

Wang Hongfei forced a smile, "Alright, if I can die by your hand, then... even death is romantic."

Leng Mei, who had been ready to strike, hesitated for a moment when she saw his expression. She bit her lip and raised her arm again, preparing to strike.

Boom!

The roof suddenly shattered, and a figure in red and blue descended from above, stepping on Leng Mei's head. The impact of the landing shattered the floor tiles, and the dust billowed like a wave.

Looking around, Jiang Bei asked, "Is she the only one?"

"Yes, it seems like she's the only enemy, but there's something else you might want to know." Xiao Qi's voice came from the other end, "The recruitment radar has detected a new candidate."

"Really?"

Jiang Bei's eyes lit up. The radar had been scanning for days, and finally, there was a new... no, a new member.

"Who? Where?"

"Right behind you," Xiao Qi said.

Jiang Bei turned his head and immediately saw the shocked face of Wang Hongfei, who looked like he had seen a ghost.

Wait, doesn't this face look familiar...

Jiang Bei suddenly remembered some of the more colorful photos taken by online paparazzi. The male lead in those photos seemed to be this person.

Hiss~ Does this person have financial resources?

Superman's mind suddenly became active.

The organization's funding... finally has a source.
