One person: I have exposed the superhuman to the whole world.

Chapter 180 The Farce That Ended

Thirty minutes later, in a photography studio in the suburbs.

“Well done, Barron.” A cheerful voice came from the corner of the studio.

A middle-aged man in an expensive suit walked out, holding a glass of red wine. He was Brown, the agent of the superhero Barron.

“Brown, do we…do we really need to go this far?” Barron’s voice was somewhat uneasy.

Brown chuckled softly and took a sip of red wine.

“Of course it’s necessary. Do you know how the news will be written today? ‘Silver Warrior descends from the sky to save innocent citizens from fire and water.’ Your image will be boosted again, and sponsors will be lining up to come to you immediately.”

"But... what if we get caught? And some citizens were injured during this performance. You promised me that no one would get hurt..."

Barron's voice grew softer and softer as images of the truth being revealed online and him being condemned by everyone flashed through his mind.

Brown frowned, walked up to Barron, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't overthink it, Barron. Those people are just background characters, like NPCs in a game. Their lives or deaths don't matter."

"The important thing is you. You are the future superhero, the hope of this city. As long as you continue to follow my plan, fame, status, and wealth will come to you in an endless stream."

Barron remained silent for a moment, his inner struggle evident.

He looked up into Brown's eyes: "But...aren't we going a bit too far?"

Brown's face turned cold, and his tone became stern: "Listen, Barron, this world is cruel. You either stand at the top or you get trampled underfoot. Those citizens? They're just ants at the bottom of society, they don't deserve your sympathy at all."

At that moment, a voice came from behind Baron.

"What are you worried about? Besides, we've done this kind of thing many times before, and we're not afraid, so why are you?"

Baron turned his head and looked down at the robber he had just "defeated" and who should have been sent to the police station.

Barron knew Brown was right, but his conscience was constantly churning within him.

He desperately wanted to quit, but the penalty for breach of contract prevented him from saying it. In the end, he took a deep breath and nodded.

Brown smiled with satisfaction and raised his glass: "This is the Barron I know, a future superhero. Cheers to our future!"

Baron forced a smile and took the glass.

……

Qin Le sat in his room, watching Baron, who had a change of heart but then disappeared again.

He was just worried about not having any videos to post, as he hadn't posted any high-profile videos for a long time.

Thanks to the effect of the "Tremors," all the information that could be shared in the world of supernatural beings has already been revealed.

Qin Le wasn't very interested in the remaining soup or broth.

Even if those leftovers are exposed, not many people will want to see them. Don't let them lower his prestige.

The information about superheroes being faked is quite good right now, and it's a good opportunity to showcase it.

One Barron isn't enough for him to post videos; Qin Le is going to properly organize all those superheroes who break the law and commit crimes.

With the help of system tools, he uncovered a large number of fraudulent superheroes, found videos that clearly recorded evidence, and compiled information on the masterminds behind the scenes.

Even Qin Le, who doesn't have high moral standards, took a deep breath upon seeing this.

Soon, a video containing all the intelligence was freshly produced from Qin Le's hands.

"It's time for everyone to know the truth. You're welcome. My name is Good Man, and I love doing good deeds."

……

Soon, the same news story dominated the trending topics on Douyin (TikTok) worldwide.

Superheroes from the United States have become the focus of entertainment for people all over the world.

One by one, familiar names appeared before the citizens, who couldn't believe that their superheroes were involved in crime.

Citizens turned on their phones and computers, and the shocking video was playing everywhere.

Barron and Brown's conversation was clearly audible to everyone.

"Those citizens? They're just background figures; their lives or deaths are irrelevant."

"We only want your image. As for the others? Ignore them."

The anger spread like wildfire. On social media, the hashtag "[Superhero Lies]" quickly topped the trending charts, and the comment sections were flooded with angry messages.

"This is the hero we idolize? He's utter scum!"

"They actually harmed innocent people for fame and fortune! They must be severely punished!"

"Where is the government? Why does it allow these scammers to exist?"

Soon, the angry citizens began to organize themselves.

By midday, the main streets of the Big Apple were packed with demonstrators.

People held up signs that read "Give us justice!" "Severely punish the fraudulent heroes!" "Get out of here, agency!"

During the march, a middle-aged man angrily shouted at the camera: "We trusted them, we worshipped them, but they treated us like tools! This is not just deception, it's an insult to everyone!"

A young girl, tears streaming down her face, held up her phone, the screen showing a video of a bank robbery: "My dad was beaten by them that day and is still in the hospital! They're not heroes, they're criminals!"

The demonstrations grew larger and larger, even attracting the attention of national media.

News helicopters circled overhead, broadcasting live footage across the country. In front of the government building, protesters chanted demands for immediate government action.

Faced with public anger and in order to secure his own votes, the president was forced to hold an emergency press conference.

Standing before the camera, his expression grave, he announced: "We have taken note of the public's demands and have launched a full investigation into this matter. Any illegal acts will be severely punished by law, and any evil will ultimately be brought to justice!"

Meanwhile, police acted swiftly, raiding the superhero's agency.

Chaos erupted within the company as employees scattered in panic. Brown attempted to escape through the back door but was apprehended on the spot by police who had been lying in wait.

“You can’t arrest me! I’m innocent!” Brown struggled to shout, but his voice was quickly drowned out by sirens.

Barron hid in his luxury apartment, trying to exonerate himself through his brokerage firm's legal team.

However, when he turned on the television and saw the streets filled with protesters and his own scandals constantly being broadcast on the news, his face turned pale.

“It’s over…it’s all over.” Barron slumped onto the sofa, covering his face with his hands, his heart filled with a mixture of fear and regret.
