Chapter 15 This Affects Your Financial Future
The Invisible Man was found missing in the morning.
Because the Invisible Man had a special fan meeting today.
The child was pregnant with cancer. He was a fan of the Invisible Man and wanted to meet the Invisible Man before his surgery.
The Water Group felt that this was a good opportunity to hype and enhance the popularity and influence of the Invisible Man, so they began to announce to the public that the Invisible Man would meet this special little fan today.
The news was sent out, the manuscript was drafted, and the scene was set.
As a result, the Invisible Man disappeared.
Now all the employees in the Water Group who were responsible for this matter from top to bottom were all numb.
What's more, the Invisible Man will have a joint team with the Deep Sea tomorrow night, and this matter is also in the Water Group's publicity.
But the Invisible Man has not been found until now.
Madeline was very angry in the office, but on the surface she was calm and asked Ashley to find the Invisible Man and discuss the candidates for the mission with the Deep Sea tomorrow.
Then, Madeline called Kevin to her office again.
"Deep Sea, there is something I need you to do."
As soon as Kevin entered the office, Madeline, who was leaning on the table watching TV, turned off the TV and said to Kevin.
"OK, I'm listening, Boss,"
Kevin behaved very well and listened to Madeline's words carefully.
Madeline took out the information of the little fan with cancer that was supposed to be seen by the Invisible Man, threw it to Kevin, and said:
"Today you go to meet this fan for the Invisible Man. Don't you want to change your image? This is a good opportunity."
Kevin took the information and took a look.
Recalling the original plot a little, Kevin knew that he was replacing the work of the locomotive.
In the original plot, after the Invisible Man disappeared, it was the locomotive who replaced him to see the fans, but now it may be because Kevin's new image is good, Kevin has been replaced.
Kevin is willing to show a new image and get rid of the stupid image of the past, plus he can get overtime pay.
He said no problem:
"Okay, is there anything else, Boss?"
"After meeting the fans, help me find something in the sea."
"What?"
"The mayor of Baltimore, the plane crashed when he was on the return flight yesterday. Although the search and rescue personnel are trying to find the wreckage of the plane, I think it would be faster if you come."
The mayor of Baltimore?
Kevin's eyes flickered, and he had remembered the things in the original plot.
He remained calm on the surface and nodded:
"No problem, I'll do it later."
"Tell me what you find as soon as possible, do you hear? Tell me as soon as possible."
Madeline may have guessed something, and repeatedly emphasized that he should tell her about it.
Kevin nodded again, then left Madeline's office and started his work today.
First, go meet the little fans of the invisible man.
There's nothing much to say about this.
Although the little fan of the invisible man was deeply disappointed that the person who came was not the invisible man but the deep sea, Kevin was not the uneducated guy of the locomotive.
He could easily use all kinds of inspirational stories he heard on the Internet in his previous life, and he made the little fan dizzy in a few words, almost turning him into a fan of the deep sea.
Madeline was very satisfied with this, and she even called to express her condolences, saying that Kevin's number of fans has increased by three percentage points because of this incident, and asked Kevin to keep it up.
Sure enough, for this group of capitalists, the image and strength are not important, what is important is whether it can bring them benefits.
The increase in the number of Kevin's fans means that Kevin's value has increased, and it also means that Kevin's peripherals can be sold at a higher price.
Madeline didn't mind showing goodwill to Kevin.
After meeting the little fan, Kevin went to the sea where the mayor of Baltimore's plane crashed according to Madeline's request, mobilized underwater creatures, and found the wreckage of the plane in a very short time.
Including the black box of the plane, and... engine fragments.
Kevin was completely sure when he saw the two laser-like burn marks on the engine fragments.
This was done by Homelander.
The reason was very simple. Madeline wanted to arrange a superhero in each major city in the United States, with Baltimore as a pilot.
She originally wanted Baltimore to pay a higher price to hire her hero, but the mayor of Baltimore threatened Madeline with "Compound No. 5" to lower the price.
But Homelander heard about this.
But Homelander liked Madeline.
What would a giant baby who did things without considering the consequences do when he got a chance to please someone he liked?
The answer was now in front of him.
That's right, Homelander, the giant baby, personally took action and destroyed the mayor's plane in the sky, causing it to crash from the sky.
The unlucky mayor and his son died here.
"If I tell Madeline about this, I will probably offend the Homelander, huh..."
Underwater, Kevin stared at the wreckage of the plane and thought in his heart.
After all, he finally left a good impression in front of the Homelander, ensuring that this giant baby would not attack him. Kevin didn't want to offend the Homelander because of this.
After all, when the power is not strong, it is better to be timid.
It's not shameful to be a little timid.
And Kevin and the Homelander's goals are not in conflict.
One wants to make enough money to lie down and live a flat life, and the other wants to be liked by people all over the world. Kevin doesn't have to cause trouble for the Homelander.
Although the Homelander's methods are indeed a bit problematic...
"But Madeline is the boss..."
It's not okay to offend the Homelander, but it doesn't seem to be okay to offend Madeline either.
Madeline is Kevin's boss, responsible for paying Kevin's salary, as well as messy share and other things.
If Kevin conceals the truth and Madeline makes a little financial move, Kevin will be in trouble.
Damn it, this will affect his financial prospects.
He cannot offend both sides for the time being, so what should he do?
Simple, just tell half the story.
Although this may offend both sides... But considering her worth, Madeline should not make things difficult for her because of this matter.
As for the Homelanders, as long as Kevin does not say that he did it, the Homelanders will not cause trouble for Kevin.
If there is an incident that causes trouble for Kevin, wouldn't it be better to live broadcast two more times to increase his popularity?
Kevin thought so, went back to report to Madeline, and gave his own investigation report:
"The Baltimore mayor's plane did crash because of engine damage, but... the engine was shot down by someone."
"Shot down?"
Madeline, who was writing a report, looked up at Kevin.
"Yes, it was shot down, but I didn't find anything else, and I don't even know who the murderer is."
Kevin said seriously.
Hearing this, Madeline looked at Kevin deeply and asked:
"Are you sure you don't know who the murderer is?"
Kevin said half-jokingly:
"Boss, I'm not a detective. How can I analyze who the murderer is just from the wreckage of the plane?"
"Yeah, that's true."
Madeline didn't care too much about this.
Perhaps she already knew who did it, and she came to Kevin just to get a definite evidence from Kevin.
Now Kevin said that he only found traces of an attack on the wreckage of the plane, which was enough for Madeline.
She didn't keep Kevin here any longer, and instead arranged the next task for him:
"Go directly to Xingguang and discuss the patrol tomorrow night. This is Xingguang's debut, so remember to help her more."
"Okay, I will."
Nodding to Madeline, Kevin and Madeline ended the conversation.
Leaving the office, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.
He had done everything he could do now, and next he just had to see if the Homelander would come to find him.
If the Homelander didn't come to find him, then there would be no problem with this matter in the future.
"Oh, by the way."
Leaving the office, Kevin opened the skill tree and looked at the number of skill points on it.
What surprised him a little was that.
The number of skill points has now changed from 2 to 3.
