Chapter 258 Transaction
But just as Kevin finished speaking, someone stood up and shouted:
"I don't agree!"
It was Xingguang. She still stared at Kevin vigilantly, pointing at Kevin and said:
"I don't believe what you said!"
"..."
"And Butcher, you obviously didn't believe me all along, but now there's a superhuman who claims to be from a parallel world, and you believe him? What if he's lying to you?!"
Xingguang is very hostile to Kevin.
This is normal, after all, the deep sea in this world did that to her.
Faced with his fiancee's isomorph from another world, Kevin didn't argue, but just kept silent, and by the way, he also wanted to hear what Butcher had to say.
"Two superhumans, they went to great lengths to make up a 'lie' about a parallel world, just to deceive me?"
Buchel pointed out the key to the problem:
"Let's not talk about other things, at least the 'Huey' who has the ability to transmit telepathy, his ability is genuine. If he really wants to harm us, he alone can kill everyone here except Kimiko and you!
"If they really want to get something from us, I don't think they will use such a stupid and ineffective method. Besides... what can they get from us? "
Boucher is right.
The Black Robe Team is now wanted. They have no money, power or intelligence. Their only value is probably the bounty on the wanted order.
If Kevin really wants to harm them, it is better to throw the intelligence directly to the Water Group than to personally come to their door to make up such an absurd drama.
Boucher's words stumped Starlight. She opened her mouth slightly and hesitated for a long time without speaking.
But after retorting to Starlight, Butcher said to Kevin:
"But this girl is right about one thing. You are indeed not trustworthy. After all, I heard from another Huey that you are the president of the Water Group in your world, and you didn't tell us this just now."
"Ah?!"
Boucher's words shocked the rest of the Black Robe Team again.
Frankie pointed at Kevin and asked:
"He... is the president of the Water Group? ! The president of another Water? ! "
Kevin asked back with an unchanged expression:
"Does my identity have anything to do with our conversation this time?"
Boucher said as a matter of course:
"Of course! Since you are the president of the Water Group, you should know how to deal with the damn Seven! If you are willing to help us deal with the Seven and the Water Group in this world, then we can also let Huey help you go back."
Boucher patted Huey on the shoulder and told him his purpose.
Kevin came from a parallel world and is the president of the Water Group. He must have a lot of information about the Water Group.
Perhaps this information can help them bring down Water.
And as long as Kevin can help them, let alone let Huey help Kevin send him back, even if he sells Huey to Kevin as a whole package, Butcher is willing to do it.
But after hearing Butcher's request, Kevin sighed:
"Boucher, no matter which world you are in, you are the same bastard, and... you still can't see the situation clearly."
"... Sorry, what did you say? "
"I say, you are too stupid, Butcher. Do you really think you are qualified to negotiate with me?"
Kevin sat in place, his eyes sweeping over everyone present:
"I am willing to communicate with you because I have a good relationship with you in the parallel world, so I can talk to you on an equal footing, but... it does not mean that I will be threatened by you."
Kevin's face pretended to be gloomy, and as his words fell, the air was filled with a biting cold breath.
The ground began to freeze, and white mist spewed out of the mouths of the black-robed people.
In a short moment, the temperature of the whole room went straight to zero!
Feeling the hostility from Kevin, Xingguang's eyes began to light up, and she now completely understood that the Kevin in front of her was not the Shenhai she knew.
After all, Shenhai could not have the ability to control frost.
But at the same time, the other party was definitely not a good person to talk to. Butcher's attitude towards him just now obviously angered him. If they really fought later, I am afraid that only Xingguang and Kimiko could stop each other.
"Calm down, calm down! "
The atmosphere was extremely tense. Butcher raised his hand to signal Kevin to calm down. He quickly said:
"I don't mean to threaten you. This is just a transaction, a normal transaction! You help us, I help you, isn't that right? Or are you the kind of bastard who likes to force things?"
"Humph, I don't want to be called a bastard by a bastard."
Kevin snorted coldly, but his temperature subsided.
He was not really angry, but just showed his strength appropriately to prevent Butcher from thinking that he was really easy to talk to.
"Okay, it can be seen that you have your bottom line, so let's just speak frankly. We need to deal with Walter, and you have the capital to deal with Walter. Now we have to talk about what you have to do to be willing to help us. "
"You need my help?" Kevin pointed at Butcher: "When Huey came here last time, he got the information about Storm from the Church of All. I want to ask you, why didn't you send it out now?"
"..."
After Kevin finished speaking, everyone in the black robe team looked at Butcher.
Huey: "When did you act with the other me?"
Marvin: "You got the information about Storm and didn't tell us?!"
Frankie: "Why am I not surprised at all..."
Kevin saw the reactions of the black robes one by one. Seeing their eyes on Butcher, Kevin realized that Butcher had never told his teammates about this matter.
With his eyebrows raised, Kevin looked at Butcher in surprise.
Butcher faced everyone's gaze and said calmly:
"Because we are not ready to face a crazy superhuman, what do you think Storm will do to us if he is really forced into a desperate situation?"
Everyone looked at each other in silence.
If Storm really went crazy and found them, they would be the ones who would be in trouble in the end.
Seeing everyone thinking, Butcher continued: "And we can't beat Walter with only Storm's black material. We need more...more information."
At the end, Butcher threw the topic to Kevin again.
But as soon as Butcher turned his head, he met Kevin's meaningful eyes.
At that moment, Butcher felt as if he was seen through by Kevin, as if the other party knew why he wanted to keep Storm's information.
But fortunately, Kevin did not point out Butcher's little thoughts. He retracted his ability, put on a kind expression again, and smiled:
"I can give you the information, but only Huey comes to help me, which is far from enough to pay for my intelligence costs."
"What do you want?"
"Help me find a few people, and I will help you if you find them."
Facing the black robes, Kevin put forward conditions.
...
The people Kevin wanted the black robes to find were none other than the "Red River Avengers" who disappeared in their own world.
Those rubbish superpowers, led by Ghost, exchanged their identities with their parallel worlds with the help of an unknown existence and ran to this world.
The ghosts in Kevin's Black Robe Universe originally belonged to this world, so if nothing unexpected happens, the ghosts that were supposed to be in Kevin's universe should also exist in this Black Robe Universe.
The reason for looking for them is that Kevin clearly understands that you can't hang yourself on a tree.
In case Huey can't send himself back to the original universe, then the unknown superhuman who brought Ghost and others here may be able to send Kevin back.
You have to find an insurance for yourself anyway.
The Black Robe Team agreed to Kevin's request, but before that, they have to do another thing.
They are going to go to the Sage Center to investigate the information related to Storm and Water.
Kevin only then knew that Starlight had just learned about the Sage Center from Storm.
And, the positioning chip in her neck was taken out, and now she is in a state of completely defecting from the Water Group.
From Starlight's actions, Kevin judged that the current plot was at the end of the second season of Black Robe, which was roughly consistent with the timeline of Kevin's universe.
After that, even without Kevin's participation, the Black Robe team could get what they wanted.
Because it was a deal, Kevin decided to wait for the Black Robe team to find the person he wanted to find first, and then help them deal with the Water Group, so Kevin is very free now.
He even followed the Black Robe team to the Sage Center with a good mood.
He had never been to this place before.
"Do you know what the Sage Center is?"
In the car, Butcher asked Kevin.
"A special research institute that mainly studies how to enable adults to gain superpowers through Compound No. 5. After I became the president, it was banned by me."
Kevin answered truthfully without hiding anything.
Starlight expressed doubt and asked doubtfully:
"Will Vought Group agree to you abolishing such an important organization?"
"In my world, Vought Group has become my thing. Who dares to disagree with what I say?"
Unlike normal companies, in a world with superpowers, as long as the force is strong enough, even if the shareholders have opinions, they can't do anything to Kevin.
Just like the Homelander in the original series.
After getting rid of Edgar from the position of president, he fired whoever he wanted, and no one dared to say no.
Kevin is the same now, and he is more popular than Homelander.
Kevin is stronger than Homelander in both strength and skills. No one dares to disobey his orders in Vought Group.
"Ah... huh...?"
Starlight was skeptical, but Huey suddenly came over and asked curiously:
"So... in your world, I... I am a superhero?"
"I guess so. Although I am a newcomer, I am doing pretty well."
"Am I famous?"
"Not yet, but... I have plans to include you... I mean the you in my world, in the 'Hero Association', which is equivalent to the seven-man team in this world."
Kevin revealed a little bit of news about the other Huey, but before the Huey in front of him got happy, he quickly said:
"But that is the other you, it has nothing to do with you, and I think... you probably don't want to be a superhero either."
The two Hueys have different experiences and different mentalities.
The Huey in Kevin's world can become a superhero, but it doesn't mean that the Huey in this world can also.
Huey was poured cold water, and his excitement subsided a little.
When the car was quiet, the driver Marvin suddenly asked:
"By the way, I see you are wearing a ring on your left middle finger. Are you engaged?"
"Oh, you are the one who values family the most in the black robe. You are very observant."
Kevin raised his left hand without hesitation. The engagement ring he exchanged with Annie was shining beautifully in the sunlight shining through the car window.
He looked at the engagement ring, his expression softened rarely, and replied:
"Yes, I am engaged."
"Excuse me, who is your engagement partner?"
"Why? Do you want to find out who I care about and use it to threaten me here?"
Kevin's question startled Marvin.
Butcher laughed and said:
"That's a good idea. Are you willing to tell me who you care about?"
"..." Kevin glanced at Xingguang and grinned:
"Sorry, this is a secret. Okay, Sage is coming soon. You can start your work."
After Kevin finished speaking, he lay on the back of the chair, but he was unwilling to talk to them anymore.
