Chapter 034: Reunion
获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第034章 再次相逢
Wang Bo calmed the Kryptonian and, after assigning him a task, went to see Diana.
As the president of the globally renowned Paradise Group, Diana's whereabouts were not a secret. She often attended international events.
Most of the time, she holed up in her headquarters.
Wang Bo learned all this from the internet, so he went directly to the headquarters of Paradise Group.
It was just a matter of teleportation.
Wang Bo appeared at the entrance of Paradise Group in a flash. Walking inside, he approached the front desk and said to the receptionist, "I'd like to see your president, Ms. Diana."
A flicker of surprise passed through the receptionist's eyes, but she maintained her smile. "Sir, do you have an appointment?"
"No," Wang Bo shook his head.
"Then I'm sorry, the president has no time recently, so..."
Wang Bo interrupted her directly, saying with confidence, "Tell Diana that Wang Bo is here. She will definitely see me."
Given his relationship with Diana, she would never refuse to meet him.
However, the receptionist shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, sir, our president is very busy. If you wish to see her, please make an appointment in advance."
Wang Bo sighed helplessly, activated his X-ray vision, scanned the president's office at the top of Paradise Group's headquarters, and saw Diana handling business.
Then, before she noticed, he withdrew his gaze.
In fact, Wang Bo could have teleported directly into the office and appeared before Diana.
But to give Diana a surprise, he decided to go through normal procedures.
He hadn't expected to be stopped right from the start.
Helpless, Wang Bo decided to use a little trick. "Hello, I'd like to see Ms. Diana. I have an appointment."
The receptionist looked at Wang Bo in bewilderment—he had just said he didn't have an appointment. But when she met his gaze, she nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, sir. The president has been waiting for you in her office."
The receptionist was just an ordinary person, unable to resist Wang Bo's suggestion.
After obtaining a pass from the receptionist, Wang Bo went straight to the door of Diana's office.
Knock, knock, knock...
"Come in," Diana's voice came from inside.
Wang Bo pushed the door open and walked in.
Diana didn't look up, continuing to handle her affairs. After all, as the head of a world-class conglomerate, she had countless matters to deal with every day.
Wang Bo quietly watched Diana. When he left, World War I had just ended, but now it was the twenty-first century.
Decades had passed, but Diana remained young. Apart from her hairstyle and clothes being more fashionable, her face was exactly the same as before, unchanged. Even the relentless years could not leave a single trace on the face of a demigod.
Wang Bo didn't speak, just quietly watched her.
Diana initially thought it was her secretary coming in to report, but when no one spoke for a long time, she looked up. The moment she saw Wang Bo, the pen in her hand fell onto the desk with a clatter.
Diana's expression shifted from shock to bewilderment, to disbelief, to ecstasy—displaying a remarkable range of emotions in an instant.
Wang Bo smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see, Diana."
Diana didn't immediately rush over to give Wang Bo a long-awaited hug. Instead, she revealed a bright and radiant, almost dazzling smile.
"Ah, welcome back."
After the initial awkwardness, the two quickly became familiar again. Diana set aside her work and called her secretary, instructing that no one disturb her.
Wang Bo sat across from Diana, took out the Magic Tablecloth, ordered two cups of coffee and some pastries, and began chatting with her.
Wang Bo talked about the various things he had encountered after parting with Diana.
And Diana talked about the efforts she had made after staying in this world.
At first, after Wang Bo left, Diana was confused for a few days, but soon, with the help and encouragement of her companions, she pulled herself together.
She had the technology Wang Bo left behind. With it, the company they registered made great strides. By the time World War II arrived, these companies had already grown.
Some even became giant, monopolistic corporations.
Using the money earned from these companies, Diana established charitable foundations for philanthropy on one hand, and on the other, sought out like-minded comrades to recruit.
Gradually, Diana gained control of a powerful armed force.
At the same time, World War II still broke out.
Although Diana had been trying to prevent it, unfortunately, her personal strength could not cover the entire world, and there were too many people intent on pushing for the war.
Given that, with the help of Stella and others, Diana threw all her money and power into the war, even personally participating. On one hand, she saved civilians; on the other, she aimed to end the war as quickly as possible.
Diana's actions greatly mitigated the brutality of World War II, reducing casualties to a surprising number.
Thus, in this world, World War II was far less brutal than World War I.
After the war, Diana's money and power were nearly exhausted.
Even Stella died in an assassination.
This left Diana disheartened and depressed for a long time. Eventually, she slowly pulled herself together, and relying on the technology and foundation Wang Bo had left, she merged all the companies into the Paradise Group.
Then, under her development, the Paradise Group gradually became a world-class giant.
To avoid suspicion that she was the Wonder Woman who had dominated the battlefield, Diana deliberately faked her death, deceiving the entire world.
In the end, as the illegitimate daughter of Wonder Woman, she inherited the Paradise Group and developed it to this day.
"You've worked hard, Diana."
After hearing Diana's account, Wang Bo was deeply moved. Although Diana spoke lightly and glossed over many things, Wang Bo knew there had been countless gunfights and too many unseen dangers.
After he had left so carefreely, everything was left to Diana.
That Diana could come this far filled Wang Bo with admiration.
Wonder Woman was indeed extraordinary.
Persisting for decades was no easy task.
When the two came to their senses, they found that the sky had completely darkened. Unbeknownst to them, they had been chatting for an entire day.
