Chapter 211 Risks Always Coexist with Benefits

"Risks always coexist with benefits." Alastair raised his wine glass gracefully, clinked the glasses, and drank the soda in one gulp.

However, the next second, his head and his body were crushed directly by an invisible force, like a watermelon under a hydraulic press. With a bang, sticky blood, mixed with tiny bone fragments, splashed out. It was everywhere, on the smooth floors, walls, dining table, and on Edgar's suit and cheeks.

"Shet!" Seeing this scene, even Edgar, who usually didn't swear, couldn't help but curse.

His eyes subconsciously looked at the door that was slowly pushed open behind Alastair's seat.

I saw a guy wearing a gilt robe, with his hands hidden in the cuffs, slowly walking out of the room. She also wore a pale golden mask on her face, with only two small holes left for the eyes. The rest of the body is occupied by complicated white patterns. As soon as she appears, she gives people a strong sense of oppression and mystery.

But Edgar, who was used to big scenes, just wiped the blood on his face, and then said in a deep voice: "If you kill him, it will cause a lot of trouble, and it will even implicate me and even Walter." company."

"Fox, please take care of the blood stains at the scene so as not to affect the guests' appetite." Cindy's voice revealed her gender.

The Fox she mentioned was Alastair's old butler during his lifetime, but it seems that this old butler has now found a new employer.

"Alastair is indeed an arrogant fool. He doesn't even know that his own congregational church is secretly controlled by others." Edgar said with a serious face.

However, from the old housekeeper's hands that were constantly trembling with fear, one could guess that the other party must have used violent means to take over the church.

"Mr. Edgar, you may not know me, but I am very familiar with you, the CEO of Walter Group and the mastermind behind all evil."

The eyes under the mask were full of murderous intent, and they wanted to crush Edgar to death on the spot.

"...Are you a superhuman who escaped from the Sage Grove?" Although it was a question, Edgar's tone was quite firm. Through the eyes of the other party, he could see the superpower he had just shown and the words he said. , allowing him to quickly come to a conclusion.

"You are very smart." Cindy reached out and took off the mask, "Yes, I am one of the experimental subjects of Compound No. 5. Cindy, you should know why I called you here."

"To kill Storm Girl?"

The corners of Edgar's mouth raised slightly.

He knew very well that as the manager of Sage Grove, Storm Girl's daily management methods could almost be described as inhumane. Since the other party wanted to join the Super Seven, the purpose must be revenge.

Cindy's purpose completely coincided with his idea of ​​checking and balancing Storm Girl. It was as if he was sleeping on his pillow. However, the only thing that worried him was that the other party's behavior was too uncontrollable, like the second Storm Girl, or even More unscrupulous than Storm Girl.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Edgar continued: "What benefits do I get from letting you join the Super Seven? After all, I put a bomb that may explode at any time into the company. I'm worried that I don't know when. , you will teach me a painful lesson.”

"Okay, let me think about it and give you an answer tonight."

With that said, Edgar stood up and looked at the housekeeper beside him, "Where is the bathroom?"

"Please follow me." Butler Fox put down the mop in his hand and personally led Edgar the way.

Five minutes later, Edgar took off his coat and walked out of the bathroom in a hurry. At this time, he was wiping his hands with a tissue.

"Now, can I leave?" Edgar asked inquiringly.

Cindy looked at Edgar, and after a moment of silence, she nodded.

Edgar walked out of the castle and was escorted by the guards to the car. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket expressionlessly and made a call.

After the call ended, he closed his eyes and waved his hand to the driver to drive.

Just two minutes after the car started, the castle behind the car collapsed. Amidst the roar, a plume of thick smoke rose up, and red lasers lit up from time to time. Two looming figures moved at high speed among the ruins, facing the sudden attack. There was movement, Edgar's eyelids twitched slightly in the car, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

…………

"Urgent notification, just yesterday evening, the gathering center of the Ji Zhong Church was attacked by unknown super terrorists, resulting in the death of sixteen people. There are no survivors. Among them, the leader of the Ji Zhong Church, Alatas, unfortunately passed away. The cause of the attack is not yet known, and we will continue to pay attention to this horrific attack..."

In a villa on the outskirts of New York, Xia Shang, who had just finished breakfast, sat in front of the TV and turned on the news channel as always.

Among all kinds of miscellaneous news, only one caught his attention.

Gathering churches?

Xia Shang had some impressions of this organization. Some time ago, he sent someone to talk to him about cooperation, but he didn't expect it to be destroyed so quickly.

There are not many forces that can easily destroy the churches.

Although Billy and the others were joined by Starlight, Starlight's character and strength were not enough to eradicate the Church of the Church.

It seems that the one who eradicated the Church of the Collected People was either a law enforcement agency under the United States or related to Walter. To be precise, it should be related to the Seven Superheroes. As for whether it was done by Black, Homelander or Storm, Xia Shang did not know. He was only concerned about the actions of the Twins and whether they had started.

Today Walter not only had to hold a promotional meeting for the movie, but also announced the death of the locomotive and the news that the veteran hero Lamplighter joined the Seven. However, it was enough for Ashley to be in charge of these things. Xia Shang did not like to do everything himself. That was not his character.

It was not until noon that the panel popped up the prompt information of ability fusion.

[Super power fusion, current progress 1%]

Good job. After seeing the prompt information on the panel, Xia Shang praised the Twins with satisfaction. Although this guy did not look good, he was unexpectedly reliable in doing things. No wonder Madeline gave him some important tasks.

Beep beep beep! !

The phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. Xia Shang picked it up and saw that it was Hughie calling. He hadn't contacted him for a long time. He wondered what he wanted to ask him to do this time.

"It's me."

"Have you seen the news about the attack on the Jizhong Church? We would like to ask you to help us find out some information about the Jizhong Church."
