"Editor-in-chief, listen to me, please, Editor-in-chief. I swear I really encountered a mysterious man wearing a clown mask. I was right next to him when it happened. It must have been him who killed those members of the African Python Gang, even though I didn't see exactly how he did it!" Xu Qianqian chased after a middle-aged white man, saying.

"Enough! Stop it, I can't publish this, Miss Xu Qianqian, half of this is probably your illusion!" The middle-aged white man shook his head.

"But I'm not making it up. I won the Best New Journalist Award, so I should write everything that happened that day properly!" Xu Qianqian was still not ready to give up.

"We cannot publish it."

"Publish it, or I'll quit!" Xu Qianqian got serious.

"You can't quit, you have a contract!" The middle-aged white man was a bit angry too.

"Yeah! I signed a contract with the newspaper! If I breach it, I can't afford the huge penalty!" Thinking of this, Xu Qianqian sighed and lowered her head helplessly.

The middle-aged white man, seeing this, walked over to Xu Qianqian, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "We are a reputable and rigorous newspaper; we cannot publish something like..."

He gave Xu Qianqian a meaningful look, then continued, "an article claiming Superman lives next door to us."

Xu Qianqian saw this and smiled knowingly.

...

"I sent my original manuscript to you, my editor-in-chief is unwilling to publish it." In a small bar, Xu Qianqian said to a skinny white man wearing glasses.

"Understood!" The skinny white man with glasses agreed. "But didn't you previously say my website was a rumor-spreader's plague bed?"

"Haha, I still think so, but I hope this article can be spread." Xu Qianqian said with a smile.

"Why?" The skinny white man looked puzzled at Xu Qianqian.

"Because I want my mysterious man to know I understand the truth." After saying that, Xu Qianqian took a big sip of whiskey.

Xu Qianqian, 21 years old this year, followed her parents to the United States since she was a child and received a typical American education.

After graduating from college, she joined a newspaper in New York City and became a journalist.

Due to her diligence and responsibility in work and her ability to report some unknown facts, she was well-loved by readers and industry professionals alike, winning the Best New Journalist Award at a young age, making her a rising star in the media world. Consequently, she signed a lifetime contract with the newspaper.

That night, Xu Qianqian was preparing to observe and collect the daily operational data of the "African Python Gang" in secret, intending to reveal the criminal secrets of this predominantly black New York gang in the newspaper.

Unexpectedly, she was discovered first, and just when she had no escape, Luo Chao accidentally saved her.

In a small hotel, Luo Chao boredly turned on the TV to watch American news programs.

Due to his spiritual power combined with the Power of Nature, his intelligence and memory increased significantly. Hence, relying on the English foundation from his school days and his recent experiences living in the United States, he had fully mastered the English language, watching American TV programs with ease.

"A few days ago, regarding the case of multiple black men being shot dead in New York, the New York police announced today that the result was an internal gang fight sparked a mutual conflict, and unfortunately, both sides perished in the gunfight. Now, onto the next news..."

"American news media is indeed interesting; they can even make up such excuses. It's truly worthy of being Hollywood's homeland." Luo Chao thought.

After turning off the TV, Luo Chao planned to surf the internet for a while, so he took his phone and headed downstairs to McDonald's.

After ordering two burgers, he connected to McDonald's WIFI with his phone and started surfing the internet.

"Huh?" Luo Chao found an article on a small website called American Legend, about a mysterious man in a McDonald's clown mask, miraculously rescuing a female reporter from a dozen armed black gang members while killing all the gang members—a city legend.

Although this news received many hits and comments, most commenters dismissed it as fake news, with almost no one believing its authenticity.

"Doesn't the mysterious man in a McDonald's clown mask refer to me? Could that female reporter be the girl I saved last time?" Luo Chao wondered.

"It's quite interesting, though being called a mysterious man in a McDonald's clown mask doesn't sound nice." Luo Chao mocked himself.

"Hey!" A fair small hand patted Xia Kai Xuan's shoulder, and Luo Chao curiously looked back.

White complexion, light eyebrows, straight nose, pink lips, round and dark eyes, long eyelashes misty like fog, embellishing her brows and eyes to be extremely vibrant. At this moment, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

She was an adorable Asian girl.

"Um... Excuse me, do we know each other?" Luo Chao asked in confusion.

"It's you! I've been watching you here for days. Your height, build, hair color, and the McDonald's mask are the same as that man on that day."

"Based solely on these, I couldn't be sure initially, but when I saw you wearing the same clothes as that day, I confirmed you're the one who saved me that night!" This girl was none other than the female reporter Luo Chao saved that evening—Xu Qianqian!

"I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else." With that said, Luo Chao got up to leave, but inside he mused, "Geez, it was too dark to see clearly that night; I didn't expect that girl to be so pretty!"

"Oh, my God, do I seriously have to come to America before you find me a girl I fancy!"

Seeing Luo Chao trying to leave, Xu Qianqian hurriedly stopped him and surprisingly spread her arms, blocking Luo Chao, "It's you, isn't it! Don't deny it! Weren't you just like this that day, eating here in McDonald's when you saw me being... bullied by those black men?" Xu Qianqian persistently asked.

"Miss, I think you've really got the wrong person!" Luo Chao defended.

But inside, he was undergoing a fierce mental struggle, "Damn! Luo Chao, are you even a man? If you just admit it, this girl is yours for the taking! Haven't you seen enough heroic rescues in stories!"

"Keep pretending! I will definitely stick with you until I find irrefutable evidence to convince you!" With that said, Xu Qianqian pouted and ran out of McDonald's.
