in honor of Shang-Chi, she was introduced to the guest of honor.
Tells him that she is working for Peyraud as a system analyser.
Later, after Shang-Chi has had a meeting with Dame Peyraud,
Luciane tells him that she thinks Dame Peyraud is deluded
concerning the I.D.I.C business, but that she still needs his
help: since she shut down her refinery, hundreds of people have
lost their jobs, so Dame Peyraud still has enemies who might kill
her.
Later after an attempt on Dame Peyrauds life has failed,
Shang-Chi tells Luciane that he is attracted to her. She tells
him that its not like she dont repay his attraction,
but love will never make her leave her path.. Later, after
another attempt on Dame Peyrauds life, Luciane defends
Shang-Chi from Kalougine. Later the same night, Dame Peyraud
suffers a heart attack, Luciane and Dr. Lugash are the first ones
to come to her side; Shang-Chi joins later. Lord Burtonwil,
Peyrauds liaison with the European Union, tells Luciane
that he sees no other way but to re-open the refinery; Luciane
tells him that she feels like she is betraying Dame Peynaud.
Later the same night, he learns that the one who has been behind
the trouble to Dame Peyraud is none other than Luciane
DHiver or, as she prefers to call herself, Diadem. She
fights Shang-Chi, and during the fight tells him, that I.D.I.C
has already won. He tries to capture him, but she paralyzes him,
and leaves.
