070 The Strictest Father in the Homeland
Edgar looked at Homelander blankly.
Today's people of his motherland feel unfamiliar to him; this is the first time in forty years.
"Even without your approval, are we not the strongest?"
Homelander seems to be asking Edgar about his creator, and also about his own heart.
He continued to question, "Without this superpower, I might be a useless piece of trash, but isn't my superpower my own strength?"
In the end, Homelander smiled with relief again, saying confidently, "Our strength needs no one to define it; the world will witness it."
Edgar stared blankly at Homelander.
For forty years, the cowardly giant baby whose temperament had stagnated since the laboratory and had never changed significantly has actually undergone some unexpected growth.
A chill that seemed to penetrate to the bone suddenly surged up Edgar's back.
As Homelander grows and changes, this is the most fatal blow to the Vought Group, as it means they can no longer control the other party through the simple means of the past!
Edgar's breathing quickened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Who, who's behind you? And who told you all this?"
Homelander looked at Edgar, but the awe in his eyes was gone.
He said regretfully, "Edgar, I thought you really wouldn't feel any fear when you're with me."
A scorching red light flashed across the living room.
Outside the villa.
Los leaned against the door, his hand supporting his chin.
His initial idea was to use one enemy to devour another, thus diverting Homelander's attention from his disappearance on the front lines of the storm to his conflict with the top management of the Vought Group.
This would both clear him of suspicion and eliminate the Vought Group—a double victory.
But now it seems like they've unexpectedly mentored a self-confident patriot?
That won't do.
People can be confident, but not too confident, otherwise they will be like tigers that have broken free of their restraints, and will take over the White House in a week.
According to Los's strategy of raising pigs and developing in the wild, Homelanders need to be restrained for another month or two.
There must be something that can temporarily suppress the tiger that is Homelander and maintain a delicate balance.
Just as Los was thinking this, the black nano-suit received a message.
The message came from communication channels within the Boys.
Since their defeat at the hands of Homelander and Black, the Boys have clearly come to their senses and have been lying low for nearly a month.
Breast Milk: "Iron Man, we have crucial intelligence! A secret base within Russia may possess the ultimate weapon capable of killing the Homelander!"
"We are now on our way to Russia."
Ultimate weapon within Russia?
Los paused for a moment, and a name or title quickly popped into his mind.
He replied, "Where did you get this intelligence from?"
Breast milk completely trusted the hacker Iron Man and replied directly, "From within the Super Seven. Butcher didn't even tell us who it was."
In fact, Los already knew who the informant was.
Queen Maeve.
Over the past month, Queen Maeve's condition has become increasingly abnormal.
Although she didn't reveal anything to Los in private, Los, with the existence of AI Monday, still knew that his girlfriend Elena was being held captive by Homelander in the Vought Secret Community.
Breast milk: "Iron Man, how credible do you think this intelligence is?"
Los replied using his Ironman account: "Since you're all on your way, why don't you check it out for yourselves?"
That so-called ultimate weapon is indeed the best weapon against Homelander, capable of creating a new balance.
three days later.
The Super Seven meeting room at the headquarters of the Water Group.
On the main seat, the father of the nation smiled broadly, his power growing ever stronger.
In the past three days, the top management of the Wotech Group has been purged, and the internal staff has been almost entirely replaced.
Homelander is now the head of the Vought Corporation!
Apart from him.
Inside the meeting room, there were still only Black, Queen Maeve, Starlight, and Locomotive.
And there's also his secretary, Ashley.
The only difference was that Ashley's head was slightly swollen and she was wearing a wig.
To protect herself, she injected herself with compound five three days ago, becoming a superhuman.
The ability is mind reading, as for the side effects—
After losing all her hair, a second face grew on the back of her head, which was controlled by another kind personality within her.
At this moment, Ashley, who was standing upright, was also communicating with her kind personality inside her head.
Ashley, the kind-hearted character: "Ashley, you shouldn't work for Homelander. He's too evil, and many people will suffer because of him in the future."
"It's just a job, I need this high-paying and high-benefit excellent job."
Ashley shook her head inwardly.
Having gained the ability to read minds, she subconsciously looked at the crowd on the field.
The more powerful and complex a superhuman's mind is, the harder it is for her to glean useful information.
For example, Ashley could vaguely sense what the other person was feeling anxious, regretful, or remorseful about at that moment, as indicated by the locomotive.
Queen Maeve, on the other hand, was filled with anger and resentment.
Who is she hostile to in the Super Seven?
As for starlight, it represents admiration.
Well, actually, everyone in the world knows that her ideal type is black.
Ashley just didn't expect that this would be real, rather than a charade to attract fans.
While feeling a sense of novelty, Ashley couldn't help but feel somewhat pessimistic.
My life is over.
Working for the Water Group, she already knew too many inside stories, and now, after having mind-reading abilities, she knows even more secrets.
Tremendous stress.
Ashley silently endured it, grumbling to the kind-hearted person, and quietly glanced at Homelander and Black.
These two were special beings to whom she could not read even a trace of their thoughts or emotions.
She could understand Homelander; after all, he was the strongest superhuman.
But black...
At that moment, Los glanced at Ashley.
Their eyes met briefly.
Ashley was startled and looked away, her kind nature advising her not to spy on the other person.
Currently, Black's prestige within the Super Seven is second only to Homelander.
Homelander announced publicly, "From now on, Blackie will serve as the vice-captain of the Super Seven, and will be able to freely mobilize Vought Group's resources. Anyone have any objections?"
Obviously, no one had any objections, and the other heroes gave Los a warm round of applause.
Starlight, A-Train, and even Queen Maeve, who harbored treacherous intentions, all sincerely approved of Los's appointment as vice-captain.
Only Los, behind his nanometal mask, wore a strange expression.
If he keeps doing this, he'll really become the leader of the Super Seven.
"Next, I will explain the next steps for the Water Group!"
The people of the motherland are speaking with high spirits.
Ashley suddenly received an intelligence message and immediately turned on the projector screen in the conference room.
"Wait a minute, just now, the intelligence department discovered some clues about the Black Robe Detectives."
Several photos taken in a remote wooded area were displayed on the conference room screen, and there was indeed a figure resembling the butcher in them.
The people of the motherland didn't care much at first.
Until one of the photos was seen, a person who was not a member of the black robes appeared.
He was a middle-aged, robust man with brown-gray hair combed back. His tough, weathered face was adorned with a meticulously trimmed beard. Standing over 1.8 meters tall, he wore a dark metallic battle suit, with a faintly visible green copper-colored pentagram pattern on his chest.
The moment you see the other person.
On the main seat, Homelander, who had been spouting invincible rhetoric just two days ago, suddenly turned pale.
Los nodded slightly.
That's right, the so-called ultimate weapon is a superhuman who has been frozen for many years.
Soldier boy.
