Chapter 121: More than One Attack

"You came to me just to ask about a missing employee? When did you start paying attention to ordinary people like this?"

Kevin expressed his doubts.

In his heart, he was thinking about what Homelander had found out.

Unlike the Homelander who hated Storm at the beginning of the second season in the plot, the current Homelander also hated Storm, but he was distracted by other things.

That was Madeline's death.

In the original plot, Madeline's death was intentional by Homelander, because he found that Madeline didn't love him at all. Not only that, she was also deceiving him, trying to control him, and was afraid of him.

Because of love and hate, and knowing that he had a son, Homelander's obsession and love for Madeline disappeared instantly, and he killed the person he once loved with his own hands.

But it's different now.

Homelander knows nothing about what Madeline has done. He doesn't even know that Madeline doesn't like him at all, but is afraid of him.

He doesn't even know that he has a son.

So Homelander was very sad about Madeline's death. After Madeline's death, he has been trying to find the murderer who killed Madeline.

During this period, Xuanse helped him, and the Crime Analysis Department of the Water Group also helped him.

Kevin did not intervene in this matter. Kevin was relieved to have something to distract Homelander.

But unexpectedly, Homelander, Xuanse, and the Crime Analysis Department of the Water Group actually helped them find something.

Otherwise, Homelander would not think of Rebecca.

Kevin was still thinking, and Homelander seemed to be prepared and said:

"Yes, if she was just an ordinary person, I would definitely not pay attention to her, but if... she is related to the murderer who killed Madeline?"

"What did you find out?"

"Not much, but I found that there seems to be a person who has always been targeting me. His name is William Billy Butcher, and his wife is Rebecca Butcher."

Homelander actually found Butcher?

Well, maybe he saw Butcher somewhere and suspected that he was the murderer but has not been confirmed, otherwise Butcher would have been wanted long ago.

"So you suspect that he took his anger out on you because his wife was missing, and kidnapped Ms. Madeline, doing that kind of... inhumane thing?"

Kevin continued to follow Homelander's words.

Homelander nodded: "Yes."

"What do you want me to do? I have no impression of Rebecca."

"She used to be an employee of the Water Group and worked under Madeline, so I think... your employee records should have relevant information about her."

"Even if I have it here, what can I do? She has disappeared. With this information alone, do you think I can find her? Or do you think you can find her with this information?"

Kevin does have news about Rebecca, and more than that, he now knows the location of Rebecca and her son.

But Kevin doesn't plan to tell Homelander about these things now.

Homelander's son Ryan inherited most of his abilities and is in a relatively warm environment.

Kevin wants to train Ryan to be a true superman-like existence, with a sense of morality and easy to control.

The contact with the Homelander will make Ryan's character unpredictable, so even if this matter really needs to be told to the Homelander, at least it should be done when Ryan is older.

Not now.

"Please help me check it, and I will investigate the rest... myself."

The Homelander didn't want to quarrel with Kevin. Since he made an unspoken agreement with Kevin, the Homelander rarely quarreled with Kevin in person.

Although his personality is not very good, he unexpectedly has a spirit of contract, which is probably one of the few advantages of the Homelander.

So even if Kevin doesn't know anything now, the Homelander didn't say anything else, just asked Kevin to help investigate.

The Homelander would ask himself, which seems to be inconsistent with the other party's personality all the time, but it's not a big deal anyway, so Kevin nodded and agreed:

"Okay, I'll pay attention here, do you have anything else?"

The Homelander shook his head and got up to leave.

But when he was about to leave, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to Kevin and said:

"Storm is your person?"

"Hmm?"

"I know you arranged for Shockwave to come in, but Storm...she seems to have nothing to do with you?"

"Didn't I say before that she was arranged by Mr. Edgar, and she has a long career, and I don't have much power to control her."

"That means that no matter what I do to her, you won't interfere, right?"

Homelander's words were full of meaning.

Kevin knew why.

After Storm's illegal live broadcast that day, the fans of the Seven had already known Storm, the new member who was about to join the Seven.

Even if Kevin said that he wanted to renegotiate her joining, the fans also believed that Storm was the new member who was about to join the Seven.

And some extreme fans also left messages saying that if Storm was not allowed to join the Seven, then there must be something shady in the top management of the Water Group.

Everyone likes Storm.

The reason is simple. Storm has created a persona for himself on the live broadcast platform that he says whatever he wants and speaks his mind.

She lashed out at senior government officials and Vought executives, saying they were only superficial and not really doing anything.

Using sharp language to point out some mistakes of the Water Group, and using the tone of an angry elder sister to scold those guys who said one thing in front of her and another behind her back.

Needless to say, the fans just love this.

They are fed up with those "good students" shown off the screen, and are also tired of the "saint" type of characters.

Storm's personality of saying whatever she wants and scolding whoever she catches has gained a lot of fans all of a sudden, and her upward momentum has been rising all the way, vaguely on par with Homelander and Kevin.

It may even have surpassed Kevin, after all, Kevin is now deliberately downplaying the impact of the identity of "Deep Sea" on himself.

Homelander has always been merciless in the face of people who can threaten him.

If Kevin hadn't decided to quit the Seven and stay in the Water Group as vice president, I'm afraid Kevin would have been targeted by Homelander long ago.

Storm's jumping now naturally attracted most of Homelander's attention.

Homelander was already unhappy with her, but because Kevin and Edgar were there, and Storm was a newcomer, he didn't do anything.

But now that it is confirmed that Storm has nothing to do with Kevin, Homelander will not let Storm continue to be arrogant.

Who does she think she is?

"I won't interfere. This is an internal matter of the Seven Team, but you should not go too far. If you do too much... I will be in trouble in front of Mr. Edgar."

"Hehe, I won't make it difficult for you."

Hearing Kevin mention Edgar, Homelander didn't know if he misunderstood something, and laughed at Kevin sarcastically.

Kevin ignored him, and after telling Homelander these things, he continued to concentrate on dealing with the work of the next day.

But before Homelander left, he suddenly said to Kevin:

"You know, Deep Sea, compared with you now, you are more pleasing to the eye in the past."

"The Deep Sea who was servile to you in the past? Haha."

Kevin laughed and shook his head, as if Homelander had said something funny.

But who knows that Homelander gave a negative answer:

"No, I mean, when you just took over as vice president, at that time you would at least choose to cooperate with me and do things that Edgar doesn't like, but now... don't you think you care too much about Edgar?"

"..."

"Deep Sea, no matter what the conflict between you and me is, you must always remember that we are the same kind, not the guy who only knows how to hide on the 82nd floor and give us orders."

Homelander said, looked at Kevin deeply, and then pushed the door and left.

After Homelander left, Kevin's fingers left the keyboard, leaned back on the chair, and squinted at the door.

Homelander is no longer there, but his words made Kevin think more.

After Madeline died, no one used "love" to control Homelander, which made Homelander's personality seem to become more extreme.

And now, on the surface, there is a rift between Homelander and Storm, as if the two are irreconcilable, but in fact...Homelander has been affected by Storm.

He now vaguely has the idea of ​​dividing humans and superhumans into two categories.

Or maybe he has always had it, but he has been hiding it.

And now this idea is inspired by Storm.

"…Another trouble."

Homelander has the tendency of racism, which can be easily used by Storm. It will be a short time before these two guys get together.

How to deal with the two of them at that time will become a headache for Kevin.

If the plot still follows the original route, Kevin will not worry, because Storm will die in the end anyway.

But now...

The Vought Group has an overall advantage. If Storm is not crippled by Ryan, the group will not give up on her. If they want Storm to die, Kevin will have to find a way by himself in the end.

But if Kate can listen to him, there is no need to force Storm to die.

Kevin thought about it, and felt a headache after thinking for a while, so he simply took out the magic book to relax his brain.

Forget it, thinking so much will make your hair fall. Anyway, you don't need to think so much with your current strength. Just deal with it.

Compared with this, it is better to study the magic book for a while.

Kevin has basically read these magic theory books brought from the Marvel world, and there is only one book that he has not fully understood.

After reading it, Kevin can use the skill points to return to the Marvel world, learn magic from Ancient One, and start a second career.

Starting a second career, isn't it better than having a headache from calculating here?

Thinking of this, Kevin gave up thinking.

…

At night, in a convenience store, Annie and Kimiko were selecting daily necessities for their new home.

Annie took a roll of toilet paper from the place where cleaning supplies were placed and put it in the shopping cart behind her.

Kimiko, who was pushing the shopping cart, looked around and reached out to take down a hook with cute decorations when passing the kitchen and bathroom supplies area.

"No, I don't think Kevin's family needs this."

Seeing Kimiko's actions, Annie had no choice but to stop her.

'But it's cute. '

Kimiko responded with sign language.

"I know it's cute, but Kevin may not like it."

'I think girls' opinions are important, and there will be three girls living in his house next. '

Kimiko joked with Annie with a smile on her face.

Anne tilted her head and thought for a moment:

"What you said... does make sense..."

'That's it? '

"Okay, okay, whatever you want, but don't buy too much... I mean cute things, don't buy too much."

'Okay. '

Kimiko responded with a smile, and quickly threw the things she liked into the shopping cart.

The two were choosing household items for the "new home" they were about to move into. It should have been a very warm scene.

But suddenly, a sudden loud noise completely destroyed this warm scene!

The loud noise interrupted the conversation between the two and made passers-by in the entire mall scream sharply.

The mall was in chaos, as if the end of the world was coming.

Anne subconsciously hugged Kimiko to protect her and looked towards the place where the loud noise came from.

In Anne's sight, at the window of the mall near the street, an out-of-control car crashed into the mall at a very fast speed and continued to move forward without slowing down.

And looking at the target of the out-of-control vehicle, it seems that Anne and Kimiko are the ones!
