Chapter 136: Ending

Newman sat on the sofa in a daze.

Her eyes were still on the fat Edgar, or the clone who had restored his original appearance.

Her ears were buzzing, and the tinnitus caused by the shock made Newman unable to come back to her senses for a long time, let alone hear Kevin's words.

Until Kevin woke her up:

"Ms. Newman? Ms. Newman!"

"Ah? Uh... I... I'm listening, Mr. Weiss."

Newman immediately came back to her senses and turned her head to look at Kevin.

Kevin shook his head slightly:

"I know our meeting today is not pleasant, but please accept this fact, Ms. Newman. Now I am the CEO of Walter, and from now on, you will also report to me, not Edgar. Do you understand?"

"I... I understand, Mr. Weiss, but... I still want to ask, Edgar..."

"I thought you wouldn't care about this."

Listening to Newman asking about Edgar, Kevin chuckled.

Edgar's purpose of adopting Newman was not simple. He let Newman belong to his name in the name of protection, but in fact he has been using Newman all the time.

I believe that with Newman's intelligence, he should not be unable to see this.

Kevin originally thought that Newman would not care about Edgar, but now it seems that he guessed wrong.

That's true. After all, Edgar is Newman's adoptive father and has nurtured Newman for so many years.

Even if you raise a pet, you will develop feelings over the years, let alone a person.

In order to reassure Newman, Kevin replied:

"Don't worry about him. He is living well in the hospital now, although... he can't wake up."

"Did you do anything to him?"

"Strange, do you really care about him so much? You should know that he has been using you and your abilities to achieve his own goals."

Kevin can see that Newman seems to really care about Edgar's safety, which inevitably makes Kevin curious.

You know, in the third season, Newman was persuaded by Homelander to cooperate with Homelander, so that Edgar had to step down from the position of CEO in the face of various accusations.

It can be said that Newman betrayed Edgar.

Since she will betray in the future, it proves that her feelings for Edgar are just like that, and she shouldn't care about him so much now.

Kevin was very curious about this.

Newman looked at him for a long time and explained:

"... He will protect me and my daughter. If he is gone..."

"I will do what he will do, and I will also do what he won't do, so you don't have to care about him anymore. I will be responsible for protecting the safety of you and your daughter, and even promise you more things.

"As a price, from today on, you need to do things for me. "

Kevin directly stated his purpose.

Now the Black Robe Team is doing things for Kevin, and they are Kevin's white gloves in secret.

And if he can deal with Newman, who works in the government, and let her move forward in politics, then Kevin will no longer have any obstacles in this world in the future.

Business, politics, and the gray area are all Kevin's people. What can Homelander and Storm use to fight him?

Kevin and Newman looked at each other, and Newman's eyes moved back and forth between the clone and Kevin, and finally fell on Kevin again.

"...I...understand, that is to say, no matter what happens in the future, I have to report to you, right?"

"That's right."

"What should I do now?"

"Just maintain the status quo, and continue to do whatever Edgar asks you to do. "

Edgar's strategy in the political arena is fine, and Newman's support rate in Congress is also rising. I believe it won't take long, at most one or two years, for her to be successfully elected as vice president.

And work towards the position of president in the future.

This is what Kevin expects to see, so he doesn't plan to let Newman withdraw from Congress.

Just maintain the status quo.

The difference is that Newman's superior has changed from Edgar to himself.

Newman didn't raise any opinions on this, she easily accepted the fact, and never mentioned Edgar again in the subsequent chat.

After chatting with Newman for a while and confirming that the other party is now loyal to him, Kevin smiled with satisfaction and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Kevin remembered the black robe team and said to Newman:

"By the way, the team that met with the deputy director of the CIA before is my people. They are also working for me, but they are not aware of your existence, so if you meet them in the future, spare their lives."

"...Okay. "

After taking a deep look at Kevin, Newman agreed.

Newman knew that the Black Robe Team had contacted Susan from the CIA, after all, she had been following Susan at the time.

But Newman did not expect that the unknown team that tried to find out the dirt on Walter and wanted to defeat Walter through the CIA was actually the subordinates of the man in front of him.

It seems that this person probably wanted to attack Edgar a long time ago...

Newman thought in his heart, and showed more respect in front of Kevin.

Leaving Newman's house with the clone, Kevin sat in the car and let out a long breath.

From crossing the black robe world to now, Kevin has finally achieved his initial goal.

Control Walter, no longer be bound by anyone, and live freely in the black robe world.

For Kevin, it is not easy to do this, because he has to force himself to do things he doesn't like.

For example, fighting for power and doing those complicated and tedious brain-consuming work.

But anyway, these things are over.

Walter will be Kevin's one-man show in the future, and the only people who need to be dealt with are Homelander and Storm.

As long as these two guys don't jump, Kevin usually doesn't bother to care about them.

But if they cross the line, Kevin doesn't mind dealing with them like Edgar.

"…But it seems unlikely that they won't pass the line…Well, forget it, let's talk about it later."

Anyway, if they cause trouble, they can still provide Kevin with skill points, so Kevin decided to deal with their affairs later.

The more urgent thing now is to return to the Marvel world and start the second career transition.

Kevin can't wait for this.

…

Inside the CIA office.

Mallory walked in from the door and handed a document to Butcher who was sitting here waiting.

"We bet right, that guy has already controlled Walter."

"Deep Sea?"

Butcher looked at the document thrown in front of his desk, did not move, but looked up at Mallory.

Mallory nodded: "Yes, the news at noon today, he has successfully become the acting CEO of Walter."

"This is impossible, Edgar will not agree."

"But the fact is, this is Edgar's proposal."

"......?"

Boucher looked at Mallory suddenly. Mallory did not continue to explain, but pointed to the document on the table and asked:

"Don't you want to open it and see what's inside?"

"...Is it related to me?"

"Rebecca Butcher."

Mallory spit out a name concisely.

Then I saw Butcher picked up the document at a very fast speed, opened the seal on the top, took out the document inside and read it.

When Butcher was reading the document, Mallory did not interrupt.

She sat quietly in her seat and looked at Butcher quietly.

At first, Butcher's expression was still calm, but when Butcher finished reading the document thoroughly, he could no longer hold back his emotions. He held the document in both hands, and his expression seemed to be crying and laughing.

"I knew it... I knew it! She's fine... She's really fine...!"

"We are lucky. Deep Sea is a man of his word. He promised to let you meet Rebecca after he takes control of Walter, so you can see this document here."

Mallory leaned back in his chair and said to Butcher with his legs crossed.

Having dealt with Walter Group for so many years, Mallory is well-informed. He has seen many superhumans and has worked with some superhumans who don't look so dangerous.

But it's the first time that Mallory has seen a superhuman who can go this far, completely control Walter, and keep his promise.

In fact, before this, she had already made plans for Deep Sea to break the contract. After all, Deep Sea is a superhuman, and is no longer the same race as today's humans. How could he help humans deal with their compatriots?

But it turned out that Mallory guessed wrong this time.

No matter what Deep Sea's plan is, at least in Mallory's eyes now, he can be regarded as a good person, a person worth continuing to cooperate with in depth.

It took Butcher a long time to recover from his excitement.

He threw the document in his hand on the table and was silent for a long time.

Before Mallory was about to ask him, he asked back:

"What does Deep Sea want us to do?"

"You seem to be sure that he will ask you to do something."

"Of course." Butcher took a deep breath, "These guys are a group of people who will not do anything without profit. I am not talking about superhumans, I am talking about those businessmen.

"Deep Sea is now a qualified businessman. Since he asked me to meet Rebecca, it means that he will need me in the future, so he must want me to do something."

"I have to say that you guessed it right."

Butcher's words sounded a bit like nonsense, but Mallory knew that Butcher guessed it right this time.

Deep Sea really wanted them to do something.

"Tell me, what conditions did he put forward. "

Boucher asked.

He was ready for Shen Hai to make excessive demands. Anyway, as long as it didn't cross Butcher's bottom line, no matter what conditions Shen Hai proposed, Butcher would agree.

Even if he had to sleep with Shen Hai tonight.

Although this was impossible.

"Deep Sea's conditions are very simple for you and me, and it can even be said that they are not conditions at all."

"What do you mean?"

"He asked us to keep an eye on Homelander and Storm, especially Storm. Once they show signs of being out of Vought's control, we must do whatever it takes to... destroy them."

"?"

Destroy them?

Butcher found it hard to believe that this was an order from the current CEO of Vought Group.

Homelander and Storm are undoubtedly the two cash cows of Vought Group now. As long as they can continue to bring profits to Vought Group, no matter how outrageous they do, Vought will find a way to keep them.

But Deep Sea issued such an order...

Mallory seemed to see Butcher's doubts.

She sat up straight and said to Butcher seriously:

"Do you remember what Deep Sea said, that he wanted to reduce the number of superheroes and make Walter transform? I tell you now, he is serious, because just this evening, he gave us evidence and black material of more than a dozen superheroes.

"So get ready, Butcher, Walter... No, the whole of America is really going to change."
