Chapter 72 Standing on the Top of the Water Building, Overlooking the Entire New York

"Isn't now a good opportunity? I can help both you and me."

"I can't do this, Madeline will tell me to get out of the Seven." Starlight shook her head. She wanted to keep her current job more than exposing the ugly face of the deep sea.

"In my opinion, you don't understand Madeleine at all. Even if she fires anyone in the company, she will not choose to fire the members of the Seven. After all, Walt is not her Walt. Walt is a shareholder. Walter, firing you will only lead to the decline of Walter International’s shares, and she cannot afford this consequence.”

Xingguang was silent for a few seconds. She had to admit that Xia Shang's words were right.

But for this reason alone, she still couldn't convince her to stand up and accuse Shenhai. Xingguang said quite simply: "I don't think I can face Madeline's anger, and what's going on over there in Shenhai? This move of yours not only offended Madeline , and also offended the deep sea."

"Please give me a napkin, thank you."

After the waiter handed over the napkin, he walked silently to the distance, waiting for Xia Shang's next instructions. It was their professional quality to never listen to the conversations between customers.

Xia Shang put the napkin in front of his chest and said with a smile: "First of all, as long as you don't say it, no one will know that I am the manipulator behind the scenes. Of course, it doesn't matter even if you guess it right.

Secondly, I have contacted Shenhai in advance. Contrary to what you said, not only does he not hate me, but he is grateful to me. "

"Why?" Xingguang asked subconsciously.

"Even you will be dissatisfied with the soaring popularity of Shenhai, let alone other people." Xia Shang cut off a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.

Xingguang was not stupid. She immediately realized who the other people Xia Shang was talking about were referring to.

"People of the motherland!"

"You're right. According to Shenhai's current popularity growth rate, it may threaten that person. Do you think that person would allow such a thing to happen? So when Shenhai learned that his popularity was about to surpass that person, you guessed that he was Fear, or fear?" Xia Shang said with a smile after swallowing the juicy steak.

"Is this all part of your plan?" Xingguang looked at Xia Shang like a monster.

"Absolutely." Xia Shang said calmly.

However, Xingguang still doesn't understand the meaning of Xia Shang's actions? He lifted Shenhai up with one hand, and now he wants to push him down. Is it just because he is full and has nothing to do?

Obviously Xia Shang didn't have anything to do when he was full, not to mention that a piece of steak alone couldn't fill his stomach.

"I don't understand why you...Ashley, yes, you want Ashley to step down and become the head of the human resources and public relations department." An idea suddenly flashed in Xingguang's mind, and she suddenly understood Xia Shang's purpose for doing all this. .

"But how can you guarantee that Madeleine will definitely promote you? She can definitely promote others to become supervisors."

Xia Shang wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with a tissue, "Because to Madeline, that person's opinion is also very important, so we briefly cooperated. He wanted Deep Sea's popularity to plummet, but I just wanted public relations." The position of department manager allows both parties to get what they need, and it’s a perfect cooperation. ”

"Terrible." Xingguang couldn't help but sigh.

"Thank you for the compliment." In fact, from the beginning of the plane crash to the appearance of President Edgar, every step was within Xia Shang's plan. Maybe it was a bit of luck like the protagonist's halo, but for Xia Shang, it was just an attempt, even if it failed There is nothing to lose to him, so why not do it.

Moreover, once the incident in the deep sea breaks out, it will inevitably cause a big blow to Madeleine's authority.

You know, Xia Shang is not just eyeing the position of head of the public relations department.

Walt is a very special company. Only senior managers or above are qualified to intervene in superheroes. In order to better analyze and integrate the superpowers of superheroes in the future, Xia Shang must do this. He must go step by step. Walk up and finally stand at the top of the Watt Building, overlooking the entire New York.

"How do you think about it?" Xia Shang asked after finishing the last piece of steak.

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. What you lose is far less than what you will gain. As far as I know, there are tens of millions of members of the Women's Protection Association. As long as you expose the deep sea, you can get their benefits. Support, you have to know that women’s rights are sometimes very useful tools.”

Starlight felt that Xia Shang was just like Asmodeus in The Legend of Thebia, a demon who specialized in seducing women into corruption.

"I'll think about it again."

After saying that, Xingguang hurriedly left the restaurant, as if a tiger or wolf was chasing behind him.

Xia Shang looked at her leaving back, raised his hand and drank the last sip of juice in the glass.

He understood that Starlight would agree, after all, a person's personality cannot change in a short period of time.

…………

At the same time, the investigation team formed by Billy and four others made important progress in investigating Compound No. 5.

Breast milk investigated through a channel and found that since 1971, the "Samaria's Embrace" founded by Izkiel, with investment from the Watt Group, had secretly transported No. 5 compound to more than 50 hospitals around the world. That is to say, no superhuman is born, they are all ordinary people injected with drugs.

"Starlight too?" Huey couldn't help but ask.

These days, he followed Billy's request and tried to contact Starlight. Although the two did not develop into boyfriend and girlfriend, their relationship was pretty good.

"Yes, she is also a superhuman created by injecting compound No. 5."

Breastmilk put down the thick stack of information in her hand and continued, "Except for Homelander, everyone else's information can be found. All the information I have does not record how Homelander became a superhuman."

"Okay, it's a pleasant surprise to find so much." Billy was very satisfied with the results of the investigation of breastmilk.

However, Frankie on the side put forward a different point of view, "How to explain Kimiko? You know, when we rescued her, she was not in the hospital, but was injected with Compound No. 5 in the dungeon."

"Maybe..." Frankie's words seemed to overturn the conclusion of the investigation of breastmilk.

Billy frowned, unable to figure out the connection, but it was certain that everything was related to the Water Group.

"Breastmilk, you are responsible for continuing the investigation to see if you can find any clues about Kimiko." Billy then turned his head to look at Huey and said, "Come with me to a place to see if there are any clues there."

Then Huey followed Billy to a mutual aid association, the members of which were all indirect victims of superhumans.

It can be said that most of them have been saved by superhumans, but they were injured and left with lifelong disabilities.

So this group of people gathered together to form a mutual aid association.

Billy knew and contacted this organization a long time ago. At that time, his wife Becca was raped by the Homelanders and disappeared. Almost everyone thought she was dead. At that time, Billy walked into this mutual aid association by chance with great grief.

Some people said that they couldn't understand what the protagonist was doing in these chapters, so I explained it in detail. It is equivalent to the protagonist's main line in the black robe. It may be that the author's writing style or writing skills are not enough, which has caused some readers to be confused. The author apologizes here.

Secondly, I don't want everyone to understand the protagonist's conspiracy from a God's perspective, but to consider the rationality more. If there is a problem, the author will modify it in time.

Finally, say to all the brothers who have been following the book so far.
