Chapter 116 Try to Listen to My Heart

After hanging up the phone, Kevin frowned.

It was Butcher who called just now. The reason is unknown, but from Butcher's tone, there is a little bit of subtle tension.

Perhaps Butcher has experienced something.

So what exactly made Butcher feel flustered?

Kevin couldn't figure it out for a while. He even guessed whether Butcher had broken into the place where his wife Rebecca was currently living and was wanted by the Water Group.

But Kevin was just thinking about it. After all, if Butcher was really wanted by the Water Group, Kevin and his seven-man team would have no reason not to get the news.

"I can only go and ask."

Things related to Butcher must involve the main line that Kevin has changed.

Kevin will also get corresponding skill points if he participates in this kind of changed main line. It's a waste not to do this kind of thing that can get skill points for free.

After deciding to meet Butcher, Kevin told Annie and Kimiko to go home first. Anyway, it was late and it was time to go back and rest.

"Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

Annie was puzzled by Kevin's behavior.

After that "declaration of love" performance, Anne was in a very sweet state for the whole afternoon.

Originally, Anne was thinking about giving Kevin a "surprise" when she got home in the evening to "reward" Kevin for his romantic behavior today, but now Kevin had to leave for something.

"Don't worry, I will go back as soon as possible for work, and I won't let you wait any longer, but you don't have to wait for me for dinner, you can eat first."

Kevin kissed the corner of Anne's mouth.

It sounded like work, Anne had no choice but to let Kevin go.

After separating from Anne and Kimiko, Kevin disguised himself again.

Wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, he went into the nearby sea and came to a bar on the edge of New York by moving in the sea.

In the bar, Butcher had been waiting for a long time.

"Tell me, what's the matter that you are looking for me in a hurry."

Kevin found Butcher in the corner of the bar, sat down in front of Butcher, and asked casually.

Butcher didn't beat around the bush. When Kevin asked, he immediately dropped a bombshell:

"Susan is dead."

"...What?"

"Susan Rainer, deputy director of the CIA, is dead! Right in front of me! Her head was blown up by the superhumans of your Vought Group like squeezing watermelon juice!"

Butcher was a little excited.

Susan was an acquaintance of his. Although they didn't have a good relationship, they had a romantic past and she was also Butcher's helper in the CIA.

As a result, because of this intelligence transaction, Susan died in front of Butcher, and died extremely miserably. It would be a lie for Butcher to say that he was not angry.

But he wanted to know who the guy who blew up Susan's head was.

Before trading with Susan, Frankie had closely monitored the surroundings, and there were no suspicious people around, which meant that the person who killed Susan followed Susan.

Someone was monitoring Susan, and no one knew.

At the same time, this person also has the superpower to blow someone's head off at any time. If this superhuman is not caught, Butcher's entire black robe team may be in danger!

When Kevin heard about Susan's death and how she died from Butcher, he understood what was going on.

Victoria Newman, the head-exploding woman, may have started to act under Edgar's actions.

"What were you talking about before Susan died?"

Thoughts surged in his mind. While organizing his thoughts, Kevin asked Butcher about the conversation between Susan and Butcher.

"Regarding the matter of Vought Group smuggling superhuman criminals, we found out that Vought Group is transporting superhuman terrorists from abroad. Did you know about this?"

"No, in my impression, Vought Group does not do such a thing."

"Then it seems that Susan is right."

"What did she say?"

"She said that there were disagreements within Vought Group, and the terrorists were transported by another faction within Vought Group. She only told me this, and then she...boom!"

Boucher said, fiercely picking up the wine glass on the table and drinking the cocktail in it.

Kevin also knew that there were disagreements within Vought Group.

But so far, Kevin only knew that the group should be divided into Edgar's faction and Storm's faction.

Kevin was not sure whether it was Edgar or Storm who transported the super terrorists from abroad.

Kevin guessed that it was more likely that Storm transported the superhuman terrorists because she was doing similar experiments herself.

Even what Homelander did was done with Storm's tacit consent.

Of course, it is also possible that transporting terrorists in was a common idea of ​​Edgar and Storm.

Even if the two disagreed on other issues, they should have the same goal in increasing the prestige of the Seven.

Otherwise, Newman would not have blown up the head of a CIA deputy director.

Or perhaps, Newman was just under Edgar's instruction to eliminate all destabilizing factors to the Vought Group.

After thinking for a while, Kevin asked Butcher:

"Do you want to find the guy who blew up the head?"

"Of course! I don't want to walk down the street and have my head explode suddenly! Since that person might be from your Water Group, please help find that guy, otherwise you may not see us in the future!"

Buchel did not disguise himself when he met Susan.

If the guy who blew up Susan's head remembered the appearance of Butcher and the other black robe team, then the black robe team would be at risk of being headshot by that guy at any time in the future!

Before finding this guy, Butcher dared not act rashly.

"I understand, leave this matter to me, I will try my best to ensure that she will not attack you again in the future."

"She...?"

When Butcher heard this, he instantly became energetic, and he leaned forward and looked directly at Kevin:

"You really know who that person is."

"I know, but due to the next strategic policy of the Water Group, I can't tell you her identity. In fact, I have revealed a lot to you now, Butcher."

Kevin deliberately used "she" to give information to the butcher.

Victoria Newman Kevin cannot touch at present, mainly because Newman is worth winning over.

In the third season, Newman dared to betray Edgar and join his countrymen. So when it comes to Kevin, it is also possible for Newman to join him.

For a potential teammate, Kevin will not reveal most of her information.

But he can still reveal a little bit and let the butcher investigate, which can cause a little trouble to the Water Group.

Newman is Edgar's secret card. Apart from Edgar, very few people know Newman's identity, including Kevin, who should not know Newman's existence.

If Edgar knew that someone was investigating Newman, he would definitely suspect that there was a ghost inside the Water Group.

But he would definitely not suspect Kevin.

Because Kevin knew nothing about this matter.

"Well, I don't care who that person is. I just hope that we won't be shot in the head by her when we do things in the future."

Butcher did not continue to ask further.

He knew that if this was information that could be revealed, Kevin would definitely tell him. On the contrary, if Kevin said it vaguely, it meant that this was not the information that Butcher could know now.

But it doesn't matter, Butcher can investigate.

This is his specialty.

After talking with Kevin, Butcher, who was barely settled, left the bar.

Kevin sat in the bar for a long time without moving.

He was thinking about how to approach Newman.

Victoria Newman, her identity is quite easy to find. As a member of Congress, her information is basically public, and you can find basic information on Wikipedia with a little search.

The problem is how to approach Newman without being suspected by her.

Kevin remembered that Newman's weakness was her daughter, who seemed to be called... Zoe?

It seems to be this name.

Edgar said that he would protect Zoe, so Newman would trust him and do things for him.

Later, Homelander found Zoe and threatened Newman to stand on Homelander's side, so Newman would betray Edgar.

In other words, no matter what Edgar is like, he is not important, and Newman doesn't care about Edgar at all.

She only cares about her daughter.

So if you want to control Newman, you have to find Newman's daughter Zoe and control her.

Conducting an investigation as a member of the Seven Team Deep Sea would definitely make Newman suspicious, and approaching her as the vice president of the Water Group would be even worse.

Unless the other party approaches him actively, Kevin's public identity cannot be associated with Newman and her daughter Zoe.

Thinking seriously, Kevin suddenly thought of something.

He took out his wallet, found the administrator permission card of [Woods] that he had put in it, looked at it for a long time, and then got up and left.

…

In the principal's office at Godokin University, Kate Dunlap was writing something with gloves on.

That was the entrance examination paper for Godokin University.

Next month, Godokin University will officially enter a new semester. Kate did not pass the unified examination. Even if the principal arranged to enter Godokin College, she would have to take the basic entrance test to successfully enter.

So she is now working hard to prepare for entering Godokin University.

"Still studying so late?"

But when she was thinking hard, the door was pushed open and someone walked in and greeted Kate.

Kate was slightly startled and immediately looked forward. She relaxed after seeing the person coming.

The person who walked into the room was Shen Hai from the Seven Team.

Because there was also an elevator in the principal's office leading to the lower woods, Kate was not surprised that Shen Hai came here. She quickly came back to her senses and answered the other party's question:

"... School is about to start. Indira said that if I don't work hard, I may not be able to enter the "Lamplighter Academy."

"Do you want to go to the Lamplighter Academy?"

"Of course! I... I want to be a superhero like you, like the Seven Team!"

Kate expressed her ideal.

Before she knew about Compound No. 5 and before she knew the real intention of Indira to train her, Kate was like most ordinary children with superpowers.

She dreamed of becoming a superhero and a member of the Seven Team.

Kate was a little embarrassed to tell her dream to someone she didn't know very well.

But Shen Hai didn't laugh at Kate. Instead, he said seriously:

"If you are willing to work hard, there will be a place for you in the Seven Team."

"Really?"

"I usually don't lie, provided that you still have such a dream at that time."

Deep Sea seemed to have a hint, but Kate didn't think too much. She just thanked Deep Sea happily:

"Thank you! Deep Sea!"

Kate had been in the woods for so long, and knew that Deep Sea was a senior executive of the Water Group. If Deep Sea said that she would have the opportunity to become a member of the Seven-Man Team in the future, then she would definitely have the opportunity.

This is definitely not wrong.

Seeing Kate's happy look, Deep Sea chuckled and sat down on the sofa in the center of the room.

He looked at the dark red leather gloves Kate was wearing, and suddenly stretched his hand towards Kate, making a request that Kate thought was incredible:

"By the way, Kate, come over and try to touch me and see if you can hear my voice."

Deep Sea, that's what he said.
