The thought had just arisen.

　　Whoosh!

　　Brian Carter returned to the bathroom of the real-world hotel.

　　The moment he returned, a mechanical electronic voice sounded: “Codename ‘Starbreaker’ (Level 1) has accepted the mission…”

　　Inside the bathroom.

　　Brian Carter hurriedly finished his shower, dried himself off, wrapped a towel around his body, and entered the bedroom.

　　On the bed, Grace Miller looked like a little fairy, pretending to watch TV. Her clear eyes were shy and timid, her side profile as beautiful as a painting.

　　So beautiful!

　　Brian Carter was delighted inside, when his watch vibrated and a text message popped up.

　　[Dad: Son, when you’re having fun together, make sure to take safety precautions.]

　　Oh no!

　　Seeing this message, Brian Carter couldn’t help but smack his own head.

　　He actually forgot about this.

　　After all, his mental age was that of an adult—he couldn’t be as impatient as a child.

　　He scanned the room; sure enough, a high-end hotel didn’t have that kind of thing.

　　From Brian Carter’s past life experience, it was always the budget-themed hotels that had everything prepared, much more considerate.

　　“Wait a moment, I have something to take care of.”

　　Brian Carter quickly got dressed and took the elevator downstairs.

　　Within fifty meters of the hotel, there happened to be a vending machine.

　　Brian Carter glanced over it, then tapped to buy an ultra-thin one.

　　Thinking it over.

　　One might not be enough, so he bought two more.

　　Brian Carter really didn’t have any money on him.

　　Luckily, when he changed clothes earlier, he saw a wallet that had fallen next to Grace Miller’s clothes rack and casually took out two bills.

　　It must have been money Grace Miller earned from part-time work, right?

　　Shameful!

　　He was really freeloading to the end.

　　After buying the items, Brian Carter hurried back to the hotel.

　　Just as he reached the hotel entrance—

　　A graceful figure almost bumped into Brian Carter.

　　“You, why did you come down?”

　　Brian Carter looked speechless, staring at Grace Miller, who had already gotten dressed and come downstairs.

　　“A-Liang, it’s my fault, degrading myself. Please don’t look down on me…”

　　Grace Miller sobbed softly, her long, enchanting eyes brimming with tears.

　　What’s going on!

　　They were supposed to go all the way—why the sudden change of heart?

　　Can’t people have a little integrity!

　　“I understand… You care about me, so you gave up this chance.”

　　Grace Miller’s eyes sparkled with a strange light.

　　“I’m really comforted that the man I like has such strong willpower and self-control.”

　　What? Self-control?

　　Brian Carter was screaming inside.

　　Please, stop overthinking.

　　This isn’t self-control, it’s being less than a beast!

　　“Do you know? I originally wanted to give myself to you, and after the college entrance exam… set out on my own path.”

　　Grace Miller smiled through her tears.

　　“If you wanted a breakup fling, you should have said so earlier.”

　　Brian Carter complained inwardly.

　　He thought it wasn’t a trick, that they weren’t breaking up.

　　Turns out he was still fooled!

　　“But your character exceeded my expectations, and I thought of another choice.”

　　“If you’re willing to wait for me for seven years, until I’ve sorted out my own affairs, then we can fall in love again.”

　　Grace Miller’s gaze was resolute, her aura suddenly changing.

　　Whoosh!

　　An invisible force swirled around her, and the dust in the air slowly floated up.

　　The power of a superhuman?

　　Brian Carter’s eyes widened. It must be the awakening power of an “Esper” among superhumans.

　　If she were a martial artist, she couldn’t suddenly gain supernatural powers.

　　“Can I have a chance to go back a few minutes…”

　　Brian Carter clutched the three plastic packets in his pocket, regretting it bitterly.

　　“A-Liang, what do you think?”

　　Grace Miller’s smile was flawless, pure and beautiful.

　　Brian Carter was a bit dazed—the script was changing too fast.

　　They were just talking about breaking up, and now it felt a bit like a marriage proposal?

　　But, facing Grace Miller radiating superhuman pressure, Brian Carter didn’t dare mention breaking up—he’d be beaten to death!

　　A heartbroken woman lacks reason, let alone a super heroine.

　　His throat moved as he considered whether to just go with the flow for now.

　　At that moment—

　　The night sky suddenly brightened.

　　Zzzzt! Whoosh—

　　A twisted, shifting pillar of dark light shot from the depths of space, ten kilometers in diameter, hurtling straight toward Sky Blue Star.

　　“That is—”

　　Grace Miller’s face turned pale. As a superhuman, she felt a suffocating pressure, nearly collapsing.

　　Brian Carter’s scalp tingled, his heart racing, a primal fear rising within him.

　　At that moment—

　　All the superhumans on Sky Blue Star, those high-level decision-makers, turned pale, feeling a helpless sense of impending doom.

　　“This is bad! It’s a Level 3 civilization’s Dark Energy Planet-Destroyer Cannon!”

　　“It’s over, everything’s over!”

　　If that pillar of dark light struck Sky Blue Star, it would be enough to wipe out all life and civilization on the surface.

　　Boom—

　　The destructive dark light shot from deep space didn’t hit Sky Blue Star, but instead struck a large satellite in its orbit.

　　To be precise, it was one of the planet’s two moons.

　　The moon farther from Sky Blue Star shattered like tofu, breaking apart and disintegrating…

　　“It destroyed… a moon…”

　　Brian Carter was dumbfounded, suddenly realizing something, his heart surging with shock.
