Chapter 113 The Era of Walter Begins!

"Mr. Jervis, the president wants you to come over." At this time, a staff member in a suit knocked on the door of Xia Shang's office.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Xia Shang stood up and smoothed the wrinkles on the corners of his clothes, and said to Baruch: "Sorry, wait a moment, I'll treat you to coffee later."

"No problem, I'll wait for your coffee."

Just as Xia Shang was about to leave, the staff handed the document in his hand to Xia Shang: "Mr. Jervis, this is the meeting materials, you can take a quick look."

"Thank you." Xia Shang took the meeting materials and roughly browsed them. In one sentence, it was that Edgar, the president of Water, was going to negotiate the details of the military bill with the US Department of Defense in person, and he was just going to listen.

Afterwards, Xia Shang followed the staff into the conference room.

The meeting had not yet started, and Xia Shang sat in his seat according to the nameplate on the table.

"Jervis, tell you a very unfortunate news. Just last night, Ms. Madeline suffered a terrorist attack. After investigation, it can be basically confirmed that she died." Edgar said in a deep voice.

Edgar's seat was at the top of the conference table, while Xia Shang sat to his right. In the past, the only person who was qualified to sit in this position was Madeline. Now that Madeline was dead, Xia Shang took her place.

"Mr. Edgar, please be patient, and may God bless the deceased." Xia Shang's tone was also heavy, and he said solemnly: "I didn't expect those terrorists to be so crazy. They must pay the price for Ms. Madeline's life. I propose that Walter investigate this matter thoroughly."

"What if this matter is related to the motherland?" Edgar did not continue to speak, because the meeting began.

As senior officials of the Ministry of Defense arrived one after another, the meeting kicked off with Edgar's speech.

As we all know, once the meeting starts, it will take at least two hours. In the middle, Edgar also thoughtfully ordered a takeaway for everyone.

"Whose secret double beef roll is this?"

Xia Shang raised his right hand and took the takeaway handed over by the staff.

He had nothing to do with this meeting at all. It was mainly a game between Edgar and the US Secretary of Defense.

"Who do your superheroes report to when they really go to war?" said Secretary of Defense Sten Leonard.

"After all, Walter and the Department of Defense are important assets of the Walter Group. We need to know their movements and ensure their safety." Edgar put on frameless glasses and said in a calm tone.

Xia Shang, who was standing by, looked down at the minutes of the meeting while solving a secret double beef roll.

Two hours later, the meeting ended with a handshake between the two. The final negotiation result was that the US Department of Defense promised to pay Walter tens of billions of dollars every year, and Walter needed to send superheroes to help the US military eliminate super terrorists scattered around the world.

In addition, in order to maintain local security, mayors in various states in the United States also need to pay a high commission to hire Walter's superheroes.

Obviously, this negotiation ended with Walter's great victory.

Although US Secretary of Defense Sten Leonard was very humiliated, he had no choice but to hold back his anger and sign a contract with Vought.

When the last letter of his name fell, it meant that the era of Vought officially began!

After the meeting.

Xia Shang was left alone by Edgar. Edgar took out his mobile phone, clicked on a video, and pushed it in front of Xia Shang.

The video was from the surveillance camera at Madeline's home.

It recorded the whole process of the incident, including but not limited to the scene of Homelander shooting Madeline.

"Homelander is an important asset of our Vought, and it is also the most perfect product so far. I think you should know what to do?" Edgar looked at Xia Shang with a stern look. He took off his glasses expressionlessly and waited for Xia Shang's answer.

After watching the entire video, Xia Shang smiled and said, "With our Water's technology, we can completely delete the scenes of the motherland, and then use video synthesis technology to create a new video."

"Yes, this matter is left to you. The American town government will cooperate with us to issue a nationwide wanted list for the terrorists and their accomplices in the video."

…………

After the contract was signed, the Water Group immediately sent Xuanse to Xuliya. Xuanse did not disappoint Edgar. Facing the attack of the terrorist Nayoubo, the explosion of "Burn in the truth!" only burned half of his chest.

Then, he walked out of the sea of ​​fire with Nayoubo's head.

The amazing performance of the superhero not only did not make Defense Minister Sten Leonard happy, but made his face even uglier.

A few days later.

A video of Billy kidnapping Madeline and pressing the detonator instantly spread throughout the entire network. Xia Shang successfully directed the anger of the people to Billy and other terrorists.

And naturally caused panic among the masses.

For a time, the slogan of "Let superheroes protect America" ​​dominated the headlines of major news media.

Then Xia Shang took advantage of the situation and announced the holding of funerals for Madeline and the Invisible Man.

The superheroes who attended the funeral included Homelander, Starlight, Deep Sea, and Queen Maeve. At the funeral, Homelander gave a touching speech, "First of all, please let me observe a ten-second silence for the passing of my two colleagues..."

"They all died in the terrorist attacks, but their sacrifices were valuable. It was because of their sacrifices that the military plan was passed, but this does not mean that there will be no more sacrifices... Maybe the next one could be any one of our seven.

So, please tell my son Maverick that I love him."

Under the stage, Xia Shang sat in the first row, watching this scene with a smile.

Homelander continued: "By the way, my son once told me, father, you must find those super terrorists... Actually, they should be described as super villains. He told me that you must find them out, Homelander, you must stop them from doing evil. You are a great hero."

"Here, I want to promise Maverick that I will work hard for you, for America... for the two friends who have passed away..." Homelander held his heart, then put his hand on the golden coffin in the center of the stage, and said with a choked voice.

He raised his head slightly, as if he didn't want to let himself shed tears, he seemed to be holding back a huge sadness, "Finally, I want to make the slogan of letting superheroes protect America a reality."

This acting is really impeccable. Xia Shang couldn't help but applaud for the performance of the motherland. When his applause sounded, the applause was like thunder and lasted for a long time. Everyone showed an excited and excited expression. They were deeply moved by the motherland's speech.

"Your speech is great, everyone's applause is for you." When the motherland sat next to him, Xia Shang smiled sideways.

"Thank you." The motherland enjoyed everything, and a bright smile like the sun appeared on his face.

Then it was Xingguang who came on stage. At this time, Xingguang had already embarked on the sexy route. When she appeared in her new uniform, she immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

Xingguang picked up the microphone and began to sing the song specially created for the Super Seven.

"Jervis, do you still remember Ashley?" The motherland said to Xingguang on the stage.

Xia Shang smiled, "My former boss, how could I forget him."

"I heard that you were promoted to acting vice president of Water, you must have a lot of work on your hands."

How could Xia Shang not understand the hidden meaning of Homelander's words? It seems that he has also realized that Edgar's influence in the company is too huge, and he also wants to train his own subordinates.

"I am going to propose to Mr. Edgar that Ashley return to Water Company." Homelander smiled and applauded Xingguang.

"I have no objection. I can let her be my assistant vice president. It happens that the invisible man died and the locomotive is unconscious. I can let her preside over the selection work. She should be very experienced in this regard."

How could Xia Shang give up his position as the head of the public relations department because of Homelander's words.

"It seems that her fate is to let her be the assistant vice president. It was before and it is still now." Homelander did not force it. He didn't care much about this kind of thing. As long as there was someone to serve him, it would be fine.

After Xingguang finished her performance, the applause she received was no less than that of her countrymen. Just as she looked at the audience screaming for her in surprise, she didn't know that Queen Maeve in the lounge was looking at Xingguang on the TV screen and shaking her head silently. She looked at Xingguang as if she saw herself in the past.

"Xingguang, Shenhai! Xingguang, Shenhai!"

As soon as Shenhai appeared, some CP fans screamed immediately.

Shenhai held the microphone and felt a little uneasy. Fortunately, Xia Shang in the audience nodded to him, which gradually made him calm down: "Everyone, although I don't want to admit it, this beautiful lady does not belong to me. Of course, I will not feel sad because I am ready to contribute everything I have to the cause of environmental protection."

His speech was also excellent and received a round of fierce applause.

But Queen Maeve, who appeared later, was obviously less popular. Although she also chose to sing, the effect was obviously not as good as Xingguang.

At the same time,

Huey was huddled in a small, dilapidated room, with a noisy noise coming from above his head. Now the sexy Starlight was very popular, but he could only curl up in the dirty basement, looking at the TV screen that was less than 12 inches in front of him.

This thing was simply a product of the last century. The figures of Starlight in it were blurry, and there was no signal from time to time.

"Alas..." Huey sighed deeply. There was no way. He could not find a better place to stay than this. Walter and the CIA were like mad dogs, searching for him everywhere.
