Chapter 198 Missing

The impact of the release of Compound No. 5 is far from over.

The super villains who come out to make trouble are just a microcosm of this incident. There are more tragic things happening in places that Kevin and society cannot pay attention to.

For example, the Red River Welfare Home under Walter.

The Red River Welfare Home is a welfare home that specializes in adopting children with superpowers.

Many superhuman children who have lost their families due to various accidents will be sent here.

This even includes Madeline's son, Teddy Stillwell.

The son of the former senior vice president, when no one is willing to take over and adopt him, can only be arranged to be sent to the welfare home.

This is Walter.

There are many superpower children with powerful abilities in the Red River, such as Mary, the heroine of the spin-off who accidentally killed her parents, and Newman, who also came from the Red River Welfare Home.

These superpower children with good abilities are the face of the Red River Welfare Home.

Their files and various information will be recorded, and they can be taken away for adoption, or have the opportunity to leave the Red River and become a superhero.

These children still have a future, and their abilities are not too flawed, they just lost their parents and relatives due to an accident.

But there are some children.

They have been completely determined to have lost their future.

Because their abilities are basically garbage, even worse than garbage.

For example, the water man who can turn himself into a pool of water, but cannot control it and can only stay where he is.

For example, the "tongue man" who has no bones in his body.

And... the ghost man who can turn himself into a ghost and go anywhere, but turning into a ghost is passive and can never recover.

Their abilities, rather than abilities, are more like a congenital "disability".

These people can't become heroes, their abilities can't be used, and they have no adoption value.

So although they are also members of the Red River Welfare House, they were thrown into another place that is completely different from the Red River on the surface.

'Red River Children's Health Assistance Center'.

No one will come to adopt them here, and no one will pay attention to them.

They are like real garbage, no one cares.

Normally, although their abilities are garbage, since they are born like this, they can only passively accept it.

But... who let them know now that their abilities are not innate, but due to their parents' greed.

The parents wanted their children to become superheroes and gain unimaginable fame and benefits, so they asked the Water Group to inject their children with Compound No. 5.

And when their children did not meet their expectations and gained very bad superpowers.

They ruthlessly abandoned these children and never looked at them again.

Knowing these things, how could they tolerate the current situation?

Of course, they would choose revenge, and severely retaliate against those parents who made them like this for the sake of profit and then abandoned them!

As for why they did not choose to retaliate against Water, perhaps it was because they also knew that if they retaliated against their parents, Water might not care, but if they retaliated against Water, they would probably all die.

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the nature of living things, and they certainly understand the reason.

Realizing that the children in Red River who could move had already run out to avenge their parents and families, Kevin looked up at Ashley:

"Why did you tell me now?"

"I... I just found out..."

Ashley said nervously:

"If it wasn't for the TV broadcast, I wouldn't know about this..."

"I remember... Walter has something called... the Superhuman Family Protection Bureau? Didn't the director tell you?"

Walter also knew that abandoned children would likely come back for revenge, so he created a separate protection bureau to protect these families.

Although this protection bureau doesn't have much work to do, after all, most abandoned superhuman children will not choose to retaliate, and they don't have the ability to do so.

For a small number of superhuman children, it only takes a moment to hurt their parents and families, and it's not their turn to protect them.

This makes the positioning of this protection bureau very awkward.

However, even if it is to reassure the parents of those superhuman children, this protection bureau needs to exist, so Kevin didn't abolish it.

But he didn't expect that even such a simple job was not done well by the protection bureau.

"He... he thought he would handle it..."

Ashley whispered.

Kevin almost laughed out of anger:

"What did he think? He said that, what did he think??"

"Actually...actually, Dennis saw them last night, but they knocked him out..."

"Is that his explanation? Never mind, it's not important anymore, let him pack up and get out now! As for these kids..."

Kevin looked at the surveillance video again.

Ashley asked tentatively:

"Do you want...Homelander to handle it?"

"I think you should know that it's not appropriate for Homelander to come forward now, right? I'll handle it, just don't make it worse."

Let Homelander handle this matter, and in the end, it is very likely that except for the ghost who can't be touched by anything, everyone else will be killed by Homelander.

Kevin actually didn’t think these abandoned children did anything wrong. Maybe killing their parents was a bit extreme, but this was their own family’s business. Kevin didn’t want to get involved, nor did he want to express his opinion.

The reason Kevin didn’t want these children to die was that he needed them for publicity.

Their abilities were rubbish, and they also affected their lives. Rather than abilities, they were disabilities in another sense.

They were tortured by these abilities every day.

And if Kevin could eliminate their abilities and let them return to normal life, then Kevin’s own reputation would be improved again, and some of the things he did in the future would also reduce resistance.

This is why Kevin chose to keep them.

Originally, Kevin planned to apply the potion to these people and eliminate their abilities as soon as Cardoza had the results.

Unexpectedly, Cardoza has not yet produced any results, but the children of Red River have united to ‘hunt their parents’.

Kevin had no choice but to deal with the impact they brought first.

First, let the members of the Vought security team gather to protect the remaining parents who have not been harmed, and then track these "Avengers" and try to find them in the shortest time.

Logically speaking, with the strength of the Vought Group, it should not take long to find a group of superpower garbage children.

But strangely, when the Vought Group really started looking, they could not find any trace of this group of people.

It was as if they disappeared from this world out of thin air.

"You said, can't find it?"

"Yes, we have searched according to the route captured in the surveillance, and even... used superhumans, but no matter how hard we look, we can't find their traces."

The security captain in charge of the search said to Kevin nervously.

The ability of the Vought Group's security team is unquestionable.

Don't think that in the series, it seems that any superhuman can kill them, but that's because the people they are facing are superhumans with powerful strength.

Compared with ordinary people, they are already elites in this regard.

Whether it is search and arrest ability or combat ability, it is the same.

But they lost the group of weak superhumans. Not only that, even the superhumans with them could not find the group of superhumans who escaped from the Red River.

This is a bit surprising.

"Who is the superhuman who is looking for people with you?"

Kevin thought for a while and asked.

The security captain replied:

"It is... it is the Titan Knight, Mr. Robert Vernon..."

"Let him come to see me."

Titan Knight, Robert Vernon, a 'perverted knight' who appeared in Generation V, is a humanoid teddy who will stick anything into a hole.

His ability is not too strong, but he has an observation ability that exceeds the limit of human beings. He can observe the micro-expressions of the human body and various details.

He needs a certain amount of knowledge in psychology and traceology to use his ability reasonably.

With Robert here, it stands to reason that no one can escape his pursuit, but the fact is that until now, they have not been able to find the group of superhumans who escaped.

Kevin doesn't think that Robert is not working hard, so just in case, he still lets him come and meet him.

"Hello, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Weiss."

When he saw Kevin, Robert gave Kevin enough respect.

He knew that this was his immediate superior, the real boss of the Water Group, so he would not and dared not use his ability to observe Kevin.

So after seeing Kevin, he kept his head down and did not look at Kevin, so naturally there was no room for his ability to be used.

Kevin looked at him expressionlessly and said:

"Okay, don't be so nervous in front of me, Robert, you should know why I called you here."

"Yes..."

Robert looked up at Kevin cautiously, and only after he made sure that Kevin's expression did not change much did he breathe a sigh of relief and began to explain:

"The last place we tracked was a factory in the suburbs. After arriving there, I couldn't find any trace of them."

"What do you mean by no trace?"

"It means literally, sir. Even with my ability, I can't tell where they went. To put it in an analogy, sir, it's like they were suddenly transferred to another place, and the traces will completely disappear."

"You mean, there are people among them who can teleport with people?"

Kevin said here, looking at Ashley on the side.

Ashley hurriedly said:

"I have checked with the director of the Red River Welfare Home. Among the superhumans who came out for revenge, they have the ability... There is no superhuman who can teleport."

"Not one?"

"Not one."

Ashley said with certainty.

The superhumans with rubbish superpowers that came out, although their abilities are varied and bizarre, definitely do not have this kind of "strategic-level" superpower that can teleport.

If there really is, then it will definitely not be with them.

"That's strange."

Kevin frowned slightly.

A group of superhumans without teleportation superpowers suddenly disappeared somewhere. Kevin could not think of any other possibility except that someone helped them.

After thinking for a while, Kevin gave orders to the people in front of him:

"Take me over to have a look. I want to see what's going on."
