Chapter 78 A Christmas Party Eight Years Ago
On the other side, in the office of the FBI's Operations Division.
Billy met Susan again, and Susan still maintained an attitude of neither welcoming nor opposing Billy's arrival.
"You came to me this time, you are not going to ask me for investigation funds again." Susan fiddled with the small ornaments composed of more than a dozen small balls on the table. As long as the wind blows, the small steel balls under the ornaments will collide with each other, making a pleasant sound.
"Such a large sum of money has led to people now suspecting that I am embezzling public funds."
"Who is so bold that even the director dares to investigate? Tell me the name and I will help you get rid of them." Billy said with a grin, and then he took out the No. 5 compound wrapped in a file bag from his clothes pocket and put it on the table in front of him. "The No. 5 compound you want is inside."
"There is evidence that Walter is injecting this kind of ghost stuff into babies all over the world, involving more than 50 hospitals in total. In addition, there are more terrible things."
"What is more terrible than injecting drugs into babies?" Susan raised her eyebrows and asked.
Billy shrugged: "Yes, those bastards have no bottom line at all."
"Send it to the laboratory first." Susan was about to pick up the file bag on the table.
But she was interrupted by Billy, who took out a list and put it in front of Susan.
"Before that, deal with the important things first."
The contents on the list were all related to the four-person investigation team. Billy made a series of requirements for the salary, office conditions, security level, exemption clauses, etc. of the four-person investigation team.
In order to get Compound No. 5, Susan had to agree one by one, but she did not agree to the last accusation against the Homelander, because Susan knew that it would kill many people, and the Mallory incident was a lesson learned.
"I deeply sympathize with your wife, but you have to understand that once you accuse Homelander, it will not only be you who will die, but thousands of lives. If you push him too hard, the consequences are not something you and I can bear."
"You are afraid."
"Yes, I am afraid, and you should be too."
Susan did not hide her fear of superhumans. Only after dealing with those superhumans, you will understand how terrible they are. With only one Homelander, it is possible to kill him unless a nuclear strike is used, causing millions of people in New York to lose their lives.
But can she do this?
No one can bear the consequences!
In Susan's eyes, Homelander is a mobile nuclear warhead that will explode at any time.
"Are you sure you don't agree to accuse Homelander?" Billy said with strong anger.
"Change the subject, for example, we can raise your salary a little bit." Susan tried to change the subject.
"No need."
Billy snatched the sample of compound No. 5 from Susan and slammed the door angrily. Since the FBI refused to help, he would use his own power to bring down the Water Group, especially the bastard who raped his wife.
…………
A few days later, Xia Shang handed the photos sent to him by Metzmo to Homelander.
"Well done." Looking at Billy's photos reminded Homelander of the past.
It was a Christmas party eight years ago. At that time, Bejia was still the senior director of digital marketing of the Water Group, and her main job was to help him operate social networks.
After three rounds of wine, Bejia was slightly drunk. At that time, Bejia still had her charm and unique flavor. Seeing this, Homelander couldn't help but feel a little moved, but still controlled himself.
But since then, Homelander has been particularly concerned about Bejia, and Bejia can clearly feel that Homelander is interested in her.
Finally, a few days later in the morning, Homelander tried again. Seeing that Becca did not refuse, Homelander took her to an office. After more than three hours of fighting, the two finally gave up. It must be said that Homelander still savors this experience.
What's more ironic is that.
Billy on the other side happened to be watching the video of his wife before she disappeared. He looked solemn and a little sad in his eyes.
This also reminded him of the day eight years ago.
It was a Christmas party hosted by Walter. He was invited by his wife to attend the party. At the party, Becca introduced him to Homelander. To be honest, the moment he saw Homelander, he was a little disgusted with the guy in front of him. Homelander was tall, handsome, and a national idol. I'm afraid that anyone's wife would feel a sense of crisis around such a person.
Of course, Billy would definitely not admit this.
But from that day on, his wife became silent and even disappeared. During that time, Billy was depressed all day long and only knew how to drink to relieve his sorrow, until a CIA agent named Mallory knocked on his door and played a surveillance video of a Christmas party a few days later in front of him.
The video showed that his wife and Homelander entered an office. More than three hours later, his wife came out in a disheveled and dazed state, and then sat in the park for an afternoon. Since that day, his wife Becca had disappeared.
This is why Billy hated Homelander so much, and then extended this hatred to all superhumans.
"Becca, I will avenge you, I swear to God." Billy opened his wallet, looked at his wife's selfie in the mezzanine, and silently swore in his heart that as long as he was alive, he would definitely avenge his wife.
At this moment, in the meeting room of the seven-member group.
Homelander put away the photo without changing his expression, but said to Xia Shang: "Tell me, what reason should I use to get others to hunt them with me?"
"Extremist terrorists hiding in the underground of New York, gangs that traffic in people and gambling, pirates who interfere with the superhero industry, or the culprit who killed the invisible man." Xia Shang said in a flat tone.
"Oh, man, you are born to do this. Promoting you to the head of the public relations department is really the best decision I have ever made." Homelander smiled brightly like the sun and patted Xia Shang on the shoulder kindly.
"But isn't the invisible man still alive?"
The invisible man referred to by Homelander is naturally the double-body man.
Xia Shang smiled and replied, "As long as you let him live, he can't die. As long as you let him die, Walter can broadcast the death notice of the invisible man now."
"Good, very good." Homelander put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and said, "As far as I know, since the invisible man cannot use superpowers, some people have questioned it online?"
"Yes."
"In this case, he has no value in existence. You go and do it."
"Okay, I will issue the death notice of the invisible man immediately." Xia Shang acted quite calmly and turned around and left the meeting room.
First three chapters, there will be more in the evening
