Chapter 261 Betrayal?

The tool man, the locomotive, was ordered by Kevin to find out the situation.

Kevin quickly paid skill points to teleport to the Marvel world and went to find Dr. Banner to get some new No. 5.

The potion data left before still exists in the Marvel world. Through these remaining data, even if Kevin did not bring the No. 5 compound, it would not take Dr. Banner a few days to make the new No. 5.

In addition, Kevin paused the time of the black robe world, so for Barry, Kevin just flashed in front of him, and there were two more dark blue potion bottles in his hand.

There is nothing much to say about the situation in the Marvel world. The civil war is still going on, and because of Banner's presence, the civil war has become a lot more complicated. Kevin can get one or two skill points every time he communicates with them.

However, Kevin has no plan to participate in the Avengers Civil War for the time being, so he will use the time gem to lock the time there first, and wait until he has time to participate in the plot.

As for now, Kevin has to inject Barry with enhanced No. 5 first.

"It may hurt a little, just bear with it."

It was also the first time for Kevin to personally inject drugs into others. He had never done this before and was unfamiliar with it.

But fortunately, Kevin, who could sense the blood flow in Barry's body and even the existence of his spinal cord, could ensure that his injection would not cause any harm to Barry.

But there was no guarantee that Barry would not be hurt.

"It's okay. I have been struck by lightning many times. It's just an injection... I'm fine. Come on, Mr. Kevin!"

Barry was naked, lying on the sofa with his back exposed, with a firm look.

Seeing this, Kevin said no more, expelled the air from the syringe in his hand, aimed at Barry's spinal cord, and slowly inserted it.

Unlike Huey, when Huey was injected with drugs, he screamed so miserably that it seemed as if he was going to kill him.

On the other hand, although Barry's face was flushed and his hands were almost about to scratch the pillow of the sofa, he did not scream, staring and enduring the pain from his back.

After the injection, Barry let out a long breath and lay on the sofa panting.

"How is it? Do you feel anything special?"

After injecting Enhancement No. 5 into Barry, Kevin asked him.

Barry rested for a long time before sitting up, closed his eyes and felt his body, and then shook his head at Kevin.

"Sorry, I... didn't feel anything..."

"This shouldn't be..."

Seeing that Barry did not show any signs of recovery, Kevin frowned deeply.

Even if Barry did not recover his speed after the injection, he should at least gain other abilities.

How could there be no reaction at all?

Just as Kevin was about to ask, he saw beads of sweat on Barry's forehead, and he looked at Kevin with some embarrassment:

"But, Kevin, I..."

Gurgle gurgle --

Before he could finish, his stomach made a peristaltic sound, and the sound was very loud, and Kevin heard it clearly.

"Hungry, right? Wait."

Seeing Barry sweating from hunger, Kevin immediately picked up the service phone in the room and asked the hotel staff to send food over.

He remembered that Barry's speed force seemed to consume a lot of calories every time he used it.

Maybe... Barry has no recovery ability now, just because he is not full?

Regardless of whether this guess is correct or not, let's try it first.

Kevin thought so.

...

The locomotive came to Ashley's office.

He was called here by Ashley for a meeting. Not only himself, but also Maeve and Xuanse were here.

But there were only them. Homelander, the core of the Seven, was not here, and Storm, who had recently become famous, was not here either.

And Starlight, she has been missing since this morning, and no one knows where she went.

When Trainhead arrived at the office, Ashley was still rubbing her hair. When Trainhead came over, he heard Ashley say:

"It looks like everyone is here."

"?"

Trainhead looked at the people present and a question mark appeared above his head.

Homelander, Storm and Starlight were not there, and with the dead Deepsea, the seven-member team was directly missing more than half. Now Ashley told him that everyone was here? !

Trainhead didn't understand what she meant, but Ashley had already started to talk:

"I believe you should know the reason why I asked you to come here. Deepsea... is dead."

"..."

As soon as Ashley finished speaking, Trainhead saw Maeve lowering her head and covering her face with one hand.

Maeve's reaction made the train a little concerned. He observed Maeve, thought for a while and asked Ashley:

"... Have you confirmed it?"

"I was right beside Shenhai when he died! You said I was not sure!!"

The train's question made Ashley explode with emotion instantly, and she uttered words starting with F one after another.

It can be seen that Shenhai's death brought great pressure to Ashley.

But soon Ashley stabilized her emotions. She took several deep breaths in a row, and then she said to the few people in a seemingly calm manner:

"Now, we need to do two things. One is to get that damn Starlight back to me! The other thing... Maeve..."

Ashley's eyes fell on Maeve:

"I need to know what you and Deep Sea...what did you and Deep Sea do to make Homelander so angry!"

Homelander had only destroyed Storm's car. If Deep Sea had not met Maeve, if he had not learned anything from Maeve, he might not have taken action against Deep Sea.

And now the Water Group really wants to know what Maeve planned with Deep Sea that made Homelander unable to help but seriously injure Deep Sea.

"Can I refuse to answer?"

"Sorry, no, this is what Mr. Edgar wants to know. He wants to determine the reason for Homelander's emotional instability. You can choose not to answer me, but Mr. Edgar will ask you in person later."

Maeve closed her eyes after hearing this.

She lowered her head and rubbed her cheeks with both hands.

The locomotive looked at her and keenly noticed that there were tears on Maeve's face.

Was it because of her that the Homelander killed Shenhai?

Seeing Maeve's reaction, the locomotive had a guess in his mind, and at the same time he was slightly relieved.

Although he didn't know what Maeve and Shenhai had done, Shenhai's death had nothing to do with the locomotive, which made the locomotive feel a lot more relieved.

At least he didn't have to worry that the Homelander would really come and kill him.

The office became unusually quiet, and everyone present was waiting for Maeve to give an answer.

After struggling for a while, Maeve slowly said a noun:

"...Flight 37."

"What?"

Ashley didn't understand for a while, and the locomotive didn't either. They were all quietly waiting for Maeve to continue.

When the topic was opened, the rest of the words were no longer as difficult to say as at the beginning.

Maeve quickly continued:

"I asked Shenhai to find the black box of Flight 37, but he couldn't find it. He only found some relics of the passengers of Flight 37...Homelander saw this, and then he..."

He shot Shenhai in the chest.

Maeve didn't want to continue.

Her expression was painful, almost crying.

Maeve was blaming herself.

Because she knew that if it wasn't for her, Shenhai wouldn't have died. Even if Maeve wasn't someone Homelander once liked, the person who died at that time might not be Shenhai, but Maeve.

It was precisely because Homelander still had an unreasonable possessiveness for her that he didn't choose to attack Maeve, but killed Shenhai to make Maeve suffer.

In fact, the relationship between Maeve and Shenhai was just a simple colleague relationship. Sometimes Maeve even looked down on this disgusting guy who only knew how to use unspoken rules on newcomers.

But no matter what, Shenhai really didn't do anything too excessive.

Speaking of using hidden rules on newcomers... this kind of thing is common in the entertainment industry... in the superhero circle which is very similar to the entertainment industry.

At least he is much better than the Homelander who kills people at will, the locomotive who hits people to death and doesn't apologize, and the black color who has dealt with countless opponents for the Vought Group.

That little mistake was not enough to kill him, but he died on the set because of Maeve.

This is Maeve's fault.

She killed another person who was close to her.

"Oh... f**k... f**kf**k!"

When Ashley heard what Maeve said, she couldn't help but curse again.

She angrily questioned Maeve:

"How dare you?! Don't you know that Homelander..."

"I know!"

Maeve interrupted Ashley loudly:

"I know what kind of person he is! But I can't stand it, Ashley, I can't stand him threatening me, threatening Elena! I just... want to live a normal life..."

"..."

Listening to Maeve's emotional outburst, Ashley grabbed her hair and didn't say anything.

She knew the threat of Homelander to Maeve.

Even Ashley herself lived in fear of being dominated by Homelander.

But what can they do?

What will happen if you stand up against Homelander? Even if you use your toes to think about it, you can know it clearly. If you really want to deal with Homelander, you must be prepared to be shot through by Homelander with heat vision!

Just like the deep sea!

Pulling a lot of hair off her head, Ashley didn't ask Maeve any more questions, but turned to look at the locomotive:

"Where did you go last night?"

"The bar, is there a problem? Anyway, I'm about to quit the Seven."

"Now I'll give you a chance, find a way to find Starlight, if you can find her, Mr. Edgar can guarantee that you stay in the Seven."

"Starlight?"

The locomotive, who had no idea what was going on, frowned and looked at Ashley:

"What happened to Xingguang?"

"She took off the locator on her body and is now missing."

"Okay..."

The task that Ashley gave to the locomotive was not difficult.

As long as he ran around the city, he could always find Xingguang's location. He just needed to prepare a few more quick-acting heart pills.

"Then what? Are there any other tasks?" After taking the task, the locomotive asked Ashley again: "Or... can this meeting be over?"

Ashley obviously had no other tasks.

She looked at the hair she had pulled out again, threw it aside, and was about to end the conversation.

But at this moment, the door was pushed open.

There was no knocking or greeting. The only people who could treat Ashley, a senior vice president, so casually in the Water Group were Edgar and Homelander.

And now, the person who came was Homelander.

"I shouldn't have disturbed your meeting?"

Homelander came in with his hands behind his back and looked around at everyone in the office.

Ashley instantly became nervous, and she stammered:

"No...no...it's...over..."

"Oh, it's over." Homelander smiled, walked to Ashley's desk, sat down on it, picked up the pen in Ashley's pen holder and started playing.

He glanced at Ashley, then at Maeve who was sitting there, and then his eyes never left Maeve:

"Then can you tell me what you were talking about just now?"

Maeve raised her head, her eyes slightly red, and stared at Homelander for a long time before explaining:

"We...were discussing how to get Starlight back."

"Well, Starlight's defection is indeed chilling, but what's even more chilling for us is that Deepsea also betrayed us, right?"

"?"

As soon as Homelander said this, everyone had question marks on their heads.

And Maeve, who knew Homelander very well, knew what he meant by this.

Homelander probably had already figured out how to explain Deepsea's death.
