Chapter 74 He Is Just an Ordinary Person, Not Even a Superhuman
At this moment, Homelander walked into the office on his own.
Madeline just looked up and began to think about the candidate for the supervisor. If Xia Shang was not President Edgar's man, then there was no doubt that he was definitely the best candidate for the supervisor. After all, even she could not deny Xia Shang's ability in public relations.
"I heard that you fired Ashley." Homelander sat casually on the sofa. His strong eyesight allowed him to see the appointment and dismissal documents on Madeline's desk when he just came in. "Jervis is very good. I think you can consider it."
Madeline's eyes suddenly became sharp. She said solemnly: "I should have thought of it earlier. How could you be indifferent to the rising popularity of Shenhai, but how did Jervis know that Xingguang was sexually harassed by Shenhai?"
"Who knows? Maybe he just asked Xingguang to make up a reason casually. Anyway, this kind of thing does not require evidence." Homelander looked indifferent. As long as the effect is good enough, he is not interested in the truth of the matter.
Madeline was so angry at the motherland that her chest felt stuffy. As expected, the most unstable factor in Water Company was the motherland.
"Do you know how much loss your reckless action caused to the company? Ashley was fired by me because of this incident." Madeline's tone couldn't help but amplify several degrees.
"So what? I am the motherland. I don't allow anyone with higher popularity than me to appear in the company. You should be thankful that Shenhai is lucky, otherwise it is difficult for me to guarantee whether he can come to Water Company alive next time." Popularity is the reverse scale of the motherland, the only thing he is proud of.
"Forget it." Madeline waved her hand, indicating that she didn't want to dwell too much on this matter. She knew the character of the motherland.
The tragic experience in his childhood caused the motherland to suffer from serious personality defects. Now, in addition to his desire for family affection, the only thing that can support him is more power and unparalleled honor. As long as he can improve his popularity and make him more popular, he doesn't care what means or who to cooperate with.
"Jervis is very smart and difficult to control, and he is very close to President Edgar."
"Edgar... he is about to retire, Ms. Madeline, you have to understand this. Even if Jervis is a pawn planted by Edgar in the company, so what? He is just an ordinary person, not even a superhuman. If I want to crush him, it will not be more difficult than stepping on an ant." The Homelander said with great arrogance.
"I hope this will be the right decision." Madeline sighed lightly and signed Xia Shang's name on the appointment and dismissal document.
…………
The next day, Xia Shang received a fax from the President's Office early in the morning. After discussion and decision by the top management of Water, he was finally appointed as the head of Water's talent and public relations department.
Xia Shang folded the paper and put it in his pocket without changing his expression. With this identity, it would be much easier to contact superheroes and integrate their abilities in the future, just like the Homelander's super physique, which requires him to withstand the Homelander's three-minute attack without dying.
He could have asked the marketing department to prepare a promotional video, and Yuji, who he transformed into, would be the villain. Anyway, the panel only required him to withstand Homelander's attack for three minutes, and did not require Homelander to use all his strength.
However, the only difficulty was that Homelander might not agree to filming.
After all, a villain could withstand his attack for three minutes, which was really a bit of a loss for him.
Xia Shang came to the corridor and prepared to go to Ashley's office. To be precise, when he received the fax, that place already belonged to him.
"Hi, Jervis, congratulations on your election as the head of the public relations department. I'll buy you a drink when I'm free."
"No, no, no, it should be me."
Who said that there is no human touch in the United States? Xia Shang felt the opposite. It could even be said that they were more realistic. Some people who used to just nod slightly when they saw him now greeted him enthusiastically, as if they were very familiar with each other before.
"Good morning, Alsara." Xia Shang's attitude was still as gentle and polite as usual. After greeting everyone, he came to the office of the head of the talent and public relations department under the guidance of the staff.
All the items belonging to Ashley in the office had been moved away. He sat in front of the computer and began to familiarize himself with the work process.
In fact, the workload of the head is much less than that of the deputy head.
It's just that Ashley likes to do everything herself, so she always looks extremely busy.
Xia Shang prefers to delegate things, and he only needs to guide the general direction.
After arranging all the work, Xia Shang took a cup of coffee, called up the panel, and checked the progress of talent fusion.
[Laser Eyes (Blue) Talent Fusion, Current Progress 65%]
For now, he needs to consume seven No. 5 compounds every week to make his body reach its limit, and the amount absorbed is about twice as much as before. Therefore, his next goal will focus on the superpowers of physical fitness and self-healing. Of course, if there is a talent that makes him shine, he will naturally not let it go.
Being too picky about everything will only starve you to death.
These days, he has checked the superpowers of many superhumans through the internal system of Walter. It can be said that most of them are defective and have no fusion value, although their superpowers are not weak, and some are even unexpectedly strong.
For example, one of the girls has the superpower of transforming into a ghost that cannot be touched and can freely shuttle through any object.
And she is immune to all physical attacks.
But the most fatal flaw is that it is impossible to recover to become a normal person.
In other words, as long as the girl becomes a ghost, it is impossible to turn back into an ordinary person.
In addition, there are beastmen who have lost their minds, poop girls who can only control their poop, and saliva men who can spit out corrosive acid but are not immune to it... Only a few superhumans have relatively normal superpowers.
Among them, there is only one superpower person named Gecko who meets Xia Shang's requirements.
His superpower can weaken pain and regenerate limbs.
"It feels similar to enhanced self-healing. I wonder if it can be repeatedly fused?" Xia Shang guessed that it should be possible. According to his understanding of the panel, unless it is two completely identical superpowers, they will definitely be able to merge with each other and become more perfect.
On the other side.
After Billy and others discussed and decided, they planned to let Metzmer use superpowers to peek into Kimiko's heart. Otherwise, they didn't know how long they would have to wait for Kimiko to speak herself, and they didn't have so much time to waste.
So Breast Milk came to the hero autograph meeting and met the fat Metzmer.
Since Breastfeeding knew many people in the social work service industry, he said to Metzmo: "I can let you see your daughter once a month, although it's only for five minutes, the price is that you just do one thing for me."
Metzmo had longed to see his daughter, and he agreed to Breastfeeding without hesitation.
