Chapter 110 Regarding Storm Joining the Team
Kevin didn't stay in the Marvel world for a long time.
It was probably only about a month at most.
But he experienced a lot of things during this period, and they were all full of excitement, which made Kevin forget some of the things he did when he left the black robe world.
Therefore, he needed to review the situation when he left the black robe world.
The first is Madeline's death.
Because of his design, Madeline died at the hands of the black robes, and Kevin naturally became the vice president of the British management department of the Water Group afterwards.
The power is still above Homelander, and he has the right to appoint the seven-man team.
The second is the short-term peace agreement reached with Homelander.
Homelander knows that Kevin's becoming vice president is inevitable, and Kevin's current strength is not something Homelander can easily deal with.
Under Kevin's persuasion, Homelander temporarily agreed to live in peace with Kevin.
Kevin is his vice president, and the original propaganda strategy led by Madeline, which was headed by Homelander, remains unchanged, and Homelander cannot come to Kevin for trouble because of a small matter.
Although the two have not made a formal agreement, they have now reached an unspoken understanding.
Then there is the contact with Butcher.
In order to completely turn the Vought Group into his own, Kevin needs the help of the Black Robe Team.
On the one hand, they have to investigate all kinds of black materials of the Vought Group, and on the other hand, they have to act as bait to attract the attention of the Vought Group.
Let the Vought Group think that it is the Black Robe Team, not Kevin, who has been targeting them.
Kevin will profit from this.
These are the main things.
There are also some less important ones, that is, the appointment of the seven-man team.
The death of the locomotive and the joining of the shock wave cannot be announced for the time being. After all, Madeline just died and the locomotive died right after, which is not good for the stock price of the Vought Group.
And there is also the death of the invisible man.
His death will also be announced, but not recently. Kevin wants to take advantage of the terrorist who appeared in the Middle East and put all the charges on the "super criminal".
At that time, they will say that a super criminal has started to attack the Seven. The death of the Invisible Man is not an accident. Although the locomotive seems to have died of a heart attack, it may be related to the super criminal.
In this case, when these two people die, angry fans will also denounce the super criminals and buy a large number of their peripherals.
The Vought Group can still make a small profit.
And the most important thing now.
Edgar wants Kevin to go to the Vought Group. He wants to intervene in the appointment of the Seven.
And this aroused Kevin's vigilance.
Edgar generally does not interfere with the appointment of the Seven, especially now that Kevin is still the vice president. He gave Kevin great power, and the appointment of the Seven was almost decided by Kevin alone.
But now, Edgar's intervention means that he has to do it now.
In other words...
"Is the storm coming?"
The storm Kevin said is not a storm blowing in the sky, but the BOSS of the second season, whose prototype is Thor's Stormfront, Clara Reisinger.
Except for the lack of hammer and axe, Storm's ability is almost the same as Thor.
Or it is similar to Storm in "X-Men".
He can discharge electricity, fly with electricity, and his physical strength is not inferior to Homelander, at least comparable to Maggie... Queen Maeve.
The most critical point, and the one that Kevin is most alert to, is that this guy is an extreme racist.
She has always wanted to build a society for superhumans, and she has already found a "king" for her superhuman society.
That is Homelander.
If the person Edgar wants to arrange for the Seven this time is really her, then this guy is more or less a trouble.
"Kevin?"
"Huh?"
As soon as he entered the Water Building, Kevin heard someone calling him, and turned around to see that it was Starlight Anne.
"Oh, Anne, good morning."
"Good morning Kevin, why... are you not wearing a uniform?"
Anne came over and looked at Kevin's current outfit.
Black suit, open collar, and sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.
Kevin's current outfit is like a playboy, without the feeling of a superhero.
Although Anne thinks Kevin's outfit is very handsome, she is still a little uncomfortable.
Even though he has become the vice president of the Vought Group and is about to quit the Seven, he still has to maintain his heroic work before he quits the Seven.
"I don't wear it because I feel uncomfortable wearing it."
Kevin explained to Annie casually and followed her into the elevator.
"Your reason is quite casual."
"It's okay. How is Kimiko doing? Is the psychotherapy going well?"
"It's going well... Didn't we talk about this topic yesterday?"
"Uh, did we talk about it? Well, I may have been confused in my sleep."
Kevin gave Annie an awkward but polite smile.
Although he didn't spend much time in the Marvel world, it also had some impact on Kevin's sense of time. Kevin really couldn't remember some trivial things in the black robe world immediately.
After all, the topics he was talking about with Annie now were all things that happened a month ago for him.
"Are you okay, Kevin?"
Perhaps it was Kevin's attitude change that made Annie realize that something was wrong. She turned her head and looked at Kevin, asking worriedly:
"I always feel like you are different from yesterday. Didn't you get enough rest?"
"It's an illusion. I got a good rest. Well, it would be better if someone was with me at night."
Kevin said, looking Annie up and down, and suddenly leaned over to hug her in his arms:
"Do you want to stay away tonight?"
Smelling the faint perfume on Annie, Kevin was a little excited.
During the period of job transfer in the Marvel world, Kevin was in abstinence, which was a very difficult period for a man who had just tasted the forbidden fruit.
If it weren't for the enemies like Thanos and Ultron, and the magic books given to him by Ancient One to study, which attracted his attention.
I'm afraid Kevin would really find a bar or something to hook up with girls to relieve his heat.
So now that he sees Annie again, some of Kevin's desires can't be suppressed.
Listening to Kevin's request, Annie wanted to refuse, but when she met Kevin's eyes, Annie didn't know why she couldn't say no.
She pursed her lips and answered in a low voice:
"...Then I'll tell Kimiko tonight."
Annie finally agreed to Kevin's request. In fact, Kevin was not the only one who had tasted the sweetness.
Annie was the same, but she had never shown it, probably because of the so-called "female reserve".
The two of them were intimate in the elevator for a while.
When the elevator stopped at the floor where Kevin was going, the two separated from each other.
Kevin went to Edgar's office, and Anne went to the conference room on the 99th floor to wait.
After a little flirting with Anne, Kevin felt much better, and even the matter of Storm was not a big deal.
After all, Storm's strength is definitely not as good as Kevin's now. Her real trouble lies in her seniority and her application of modern networks.
Although this guy is nearly 100 years old, she accepts new things very quickly.
She will use live broadcasts on the Internet to increase her popularity, and will use the herd mentality of the people on the Internet to spread opinions that are beneficial to her.
In this regard, Kevin thinks he is not as good as her.
"I hope we can live in peace."
Thinking of Storm's message, Kevin was so expectant and pushed open Edgar's office.
In the office, Edgar was the only one now. Kevin did not see Storm, as if the member Edgar wanted to talk to Kevin about joining the team today was not Storm.
After entering the office and greeting Edgar, Kevin sat directly opposite Edgar and asked:
"Sir, where is the member you are talking about joining the team?"
"Here."
Edgar did not say hello to Kevin and threw a piece of information to Kevin.
Kevin took it and flipped through it, frowning deeply:
"...Free Woman? Don't tell me that she is the next one to join the team?"
"Any opinions?"
"It is also said in the information that she was an active hero in the 1970s. This year...she is at least over 60, right? You let such an old man join the Seven-Man Team?"
Kevin put down the information and felt a little funny: "Sir, today is not April Fool's Day."
The information Edgar gave Kevin was not Storm's information, but a hero who was active in the last century.
Her name is Liberty Woman.
Kevin certainly knew that Liberty Woman was Storm's code name before, and she used this identity to become a superhero in the 1970s.
But this was not something Kevin should know, so Kevin's reaction was normal now.
Edgar did not doubt it, he smiled at Kevin and explained:
"This is what I want to tell you."
After he finished speaking, he took out another document and threw it to Kevin.
But this time he did not let Kevin read it dryly, and also attached a detailed explanation of the document:
"Liberty Woman, whose real name is Clara Walter, now renamed Clara Reisinger, is the wife of Frederick Walter, the founder of the Walter Group. She was born in 1919 and is now...
"101 years old."
"WTF...! "
Kevin swore because he was surprised.
And this was not fake, he was really surprised.
Kevin only read the plot of Black Robe twice and didn't pay much attention to the details. Therefore, before that, Kevin thought that Storm's age was at most in his eighties or nineties.
But now Edgar said.
This guy is over a hundred years old?!
He is even older than Kevin's great-grandmother!
"Because of Compound No. 5, she still looks the same as when she was young, and because of her identity, we can't force her to do anything. Fortunately, she doesn't seem to have any intention of entering the management."
Edgar continued to explain, "But at the same time, she made some requests, as long as they are not too excessive, we can't refuse them."
"So what you mean is that she wants to join the Seven? "
"That's right, the Invisible Man died, the Locomotive died of a heart attack, and you are also going to withdraw. The Seven is now empty and urgently needs a good superhuman to fill it.
"Storm is the right person."
"...Storm?"
"What do you think of Ms. Clara's new title?"
Edgar mentioned Storm's new name.
Taking the two documents Edgar gave him, Kevin carefully reviewed them and laughed:
"Since you have already made a decision, there is no need to ask me, right?"
"You are now the vice president of the British management department. The appointment of the Seven must go through your hands no matter what. This is the rule. Even I have to follow the process. And... before you agree to Storm joining the Seven, you should also meet with Storm?"
"Meet? Sure, when?"
"Now."
Edgar finished speaking, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
After a while, the door of the room was opened.
A young-looking woman with short black hair walked in from outside.
She was wearing a specially made hero uniform and came to Kevin and Edgar with a cheerful smile on her face.
Seeing this person, Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly.
This person is Stormfront, the old woman who mixed with Homelander in the second season...
