In the shining halo of light, Jack, Tessa, Su Yueming, and Crosshairs stepped forward together. The four of them walked slowly, each of them filled with curiosity, confusion, or silent thought.

"Where exactly is this place?" Su Yueming asked. Her sharp eyes swept all around, trying to grasp the strange surroundings.

Tessa, equally curious, glanced around with her. The two women exchanged looks as they observed their environment.

"This place is really beautiful," Tessa said happily. She pointed at the scene in front of her. There were flowers blooming everywhere, lush green plants swaying with the breeze, gentle little hills rolling in the distance, and a clear pond reflecting the glow of the halo above them. The atmosphere looked more like a paradise than a battlefield.

Suddenly, a graceful figure rushed over. With a leap, she threw herself directly into Jack's arms.

"Jack!" the woman cried with surprise and joy, her tone filled with affection. Her face carried an expression of excitement and disbelief. "Jack, how are you already here? So fast? Barely one hour has passed."

The woman was Peggy.

"One hour?" Jack repeated with interest. "So, the flow of time in Villain Space doesn't match the time in the Movie World. That means the two timelines are unsynchronized."

A grin appeared on his face. This discovery pleased him greatly.

Su Yueming, however, folded her arms tightly across her chest. She stood stiffly, glaring at the woman in Jack's embrace with clear irritation. Her lips pressed together as her eyes carried a dangerous coldness.

Tessa, too, looked displeased. Her eyes darted between Jack and the unfamiliar woman. The two women coughed lightly at the same time, an obvious sign of dissatisfaction.

Peggy noticed their presence only now. She turned her gaze toward Su Yueming, then toward Tessa, and finally toward Crosshairs. When her eyes landed on Crosshairs, her expression froze.

"You… you brought back an Autobot?" Peggy gasped. She looked at Jack in shock. "Jack, who exactly did you bring here?"

Tessa immediately stepped forward, unable to hold herself back. "Who are you? And why are you hugging Jack like that in front of us?"

Peggy straightened her posture, releasing an aura of authority and confidence. Her voice carried the sharp tone of a capable woman. "I am Peggy Carter. And why am I hugging Jack? Because I am his woman. Do you have a problem with that? Who exactly are you supposed to be?"

Her domineering attitude silenced the air for a moment.

Su Yueming and Tessa turned toward Jack simultaneously, their eyes sharp as blades. Both women's faces carried the same murderous look.

"Jack," Su Yueming said coldly, "can you explain what's going on here?"

"Yes, Jack," Peggy added at the same time, glaring at him. "Who are these two women?"

The atmosphere turned explosive, as if sparks of gunpowder had filled the air. The tension could almost be touched.

Crosshairs, standing to the side, gave a snort. He muttered something about being bored and walked a few steps away, clearly uninterested in the "human drama."

Jack, however, puffed out his chest, acting as though nothing was wrong. His expression carried the shameless boldness of a man who believed he had everything under control.

"Come on now," he said. "So I have a few women—is that really such a big deal? Is it against the heavens? No. You should all just accept each other. Hug it out. From now on, we're all one big family."

The three women's eyes narrowed dangerously, their gazes locking on him as though they wanted to burn him alive.

"You want me to hug her?" all three said in unison, their voices dripping with disbelief.

"That's right," Jack replied casually, as if he were saying something natural. "You're all my women. Why shouldn't you love one another? If you don't, then how can we ever enjoy… well, the four of us together in bed?"

His smirk showed that he was enjoying his own shameless words.

"Unbelievable," Su Yueming muttered.

Peggy's eyes rolled heavenward. Tessa bit her lip, half-angry and half-embarrassed.

"Jack, is she really your woman?" Tessa asked, pointing directly at Peggy.

"Yes," Jack replied without hesitation. "Just like you. You are all my women. This place can be lonely, so I thought it would be good for several sisters to accompany each other." He shrugged. "What, did you expect me to go look for a man instead?"

Su Yueming scoffed, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Jack, you're really so considerate. We should thank you for your generosity."

Jack grinned thickly, his face the very picture of shamelessness. "No need for thanks. This is simply what a man should do."

Peggy turned toward Su Yueming. "It seems the three of us need to sit down and talk things through."

Su Yueming nodded. "Yes. I agree."

Tessa wanted to argue but could only curl her lip and mutter, "Looks like we don't have a choice."

"Actually," Su Yueming suddenly asked, glancing around, "what is this place?"

Jack gestured toward Peggy. "Peggy, you explain it to them."

Peggy nodded, then spoke seriously. "This place is Villain Space. It exists independently. It is neither part of the Movie World nor the Real World…"

Her words trailed off. Su Yueming and Tessa's eyes widened with shock as realization hit them.

"Then… that means we're just characters inside a movie?"

"That's right," Peggy said firmly. "I came from the Movie World as well. That bastard dragged me here. Do you want to hear my story?"

The two women nodded slowly. "Yes."

Peggy began to tell her tale. "It all started when I entered the Movie World. At first, that fellow—"

She went on to describe her bitter experiences. Her tone was laced with sadness and resentment.

Listening to her, Su Yueming and Tessa couldn't help but feel sympathy.

"I never thought that bastard committed so many crimes," Su Yueming said softly. "You must have suffered greatly."

Peggy nodded. "At the beginning, I hated him completely. Then it became love and hate mixed together. Finally, I just gave up resisting and chose to follow him." She shook her head helplessly.

Tessa sighed. "In the Movie World, Jack has no choice but to act as a villain. Otherwise, he can't collect Villain Points. Without them, the system would erase him."

"You don't understand," Peggy argued. "Didn't you see how naturally he plays the role? That man was born unprincipled. He's committed countless atrocities in your world already."

"He even destroyed the capitals of several countries," Su Yueming added quietly. "More than ten million people died."

Peggy was silent for several seconds, her lips pressed tightly together. Then she gave a bitter laugh. "…And you still defend him?"

"I'll go first!" Tessa cut in quickly, eager to change the subject. "I met Jack at the velodrome in Texas. At that time…"

She described the scene in detail.

When Tessa finished, Peggy shook her head. "You were really such a naïve little girl. That man had already planned everything in advance. He knew how the plot would unfold."

Tessa's cheeks flushed. "And yet you still followed him, didn't you?"

"I…" Peggy faltered. For a moment, she had no words.

Then Su Yueming spoke. "I met that bastard in KSI Corporation. The first time I saw him, I despised him with every fiber of my being…"

She recounted her first meeting with Jack.

When she finished, all three women sighed together. Despite their differences, they suddenly shared a common feeling—a bond born of suffering under the same man.

Su Yueming smiled bitterly. "We've all been tormented by that bastard Lane. And with nowhere else to go, we had no choice but to follow him." She extended her hand toward Peggy.

Peggy nodded and took it. "Then let's hug. After all, we're sisters in misfortune now."

The two embraced.

Tessa gave a small laugh. "I'm American too. Doesn't that make us fellow villagers? Don't I get a hug as well?"

"You silly girl," Peggy said with a smile, hugging her too.

Tessa's eyes turned toward Crosshairs. "And you… you really are one of the Transformers from your world? You look fierce."

Crosshairs stepped forward. His tone was respectful. "Hello, new mistresses. I am Crosshairs. I heard everything just now. Never imagined I was just a character inside a movie."

As he spoke, his body shifted and transformed rapidly. In moments, the green race car stood where he had been.

Peggy gasped. "Amazing."

At that moment, Jack stretched and yawned loudly. He had been leaning against a tree, half-asleep while the women talked endlessly.

"So," he said lazily, walking back toward them, "have you three finally reached an agreement?"

The three women glared at him, but they had already been talking for more than half an hour. While they had been busy sharing their grievances, Jack had nearly fallen asleep from boredom.
