Chapter 36 Are You Interested in the Job of the Invisible Man?
Huey didn't want to admit what Butcher said.
But after Butcher's analysis, Huey was vaguely moved by him.
He had seen clearly that the superhero said one thing in front of him and another behind his back. Who could know if Deep Sea was the same?
On the surface, it seemed to comfort him, but in fact, he wanted to use him to trap the locomotive.
This could better explain why he turned a blind eye to Frankie's behavior.
But now Huey, who had already become a fan of Deep Sea, didn't want to think so. He just said dryly:
"I still think that Deep Sea...Deep Sea is different..."
"If you really think he is different, how about meeting him more often? Did you leave your contact information?"
At the end, Butcher told his true thoughts.
He wanted Huey to contact Deep Sea so that he could get in touch with other members of the Seven more deeply.
But unfortunately, Huey disappointed him.
"...No."
Not to mention the contact information, he didn't even know if he could meet next time.
"Waste boy."
Boucher rolled his eyes, said something mercilessly to Huey, and turned his head away and stopped talking.
Without contact information, it's useless to say anything.
...
In the meeting room of the seven-member team, Homelander, Kevin, and Madeline gathered together.
Homelander stood in front of the French window, posing with his hands behind his back, while Kevin was playing with a small black chip in his hand, rubbing it from time to time.
Madeline, who had just arrived, saw the chip in his hand at a glance and asked:
"This is the positioning chip in the transparent man's body. Where did you find it?"
"In the belly of a fish."
Kevin answered casually and handed the chip to Madeline: "I found it in the belly of a fish."
"So the transparent man is completely missing? Does he want to leave the Vought Group?"
Madeline asked.
But this time the person being questioned is Homelander.
Homelander finally turned around, with an ambiguous smile on his face. He waved his fingers in front of him, indicating that it was not the case, and explained:
"I think he might have been in trouble."
"Why? Because he took out the locator?"
"Then under what circumstances do you think the Invisible Man would abandon his shares in the Water Group, abandon his interests as a member of the Seven, and even abandon his child who was less than ten years old, take out the locator and escape alone?"
Homelander asked Madeline a question.
Madeline kept silent.
Madeline knew what Homelander said, but she didn't want to believe in another possibility besides this one.
Because this meant that the Invisible Man might have...
"He might be dead."
Homelander spoke for Madeline: "Someone is targeting the Invisible Man, and I don't know how to kill him."
"The Invisible Man's skin..."
Madeline still wanted to defend herself.
Homelander said bluntly:
"The skin of the transparent man is indeed indestructible, but since they can even take out the locator, it seems that killing him is not a difficult task?"
Homelander still firmly believes that someone must have killed the transparent man, and he has always believed this.
Madeline has been convinced by Homelander, but she still turns her eyes to Kevin who is sitting next to her:
"Deep Sea, what do you think?"
This question made Homelander's eyes fall on Kevin, his smile slightly restrained, and he and Madeline waited for Kevin's answer together.
Originally, Kevin was just planning to be a little transparent, but he didn't expect the topic to be thrown to himself, but Kevin was not afraid of the stage, and said bluntly:
"You want to ask my opinion... My opinion is similar to Homelander's."
"So you also think that something happened to the transparent man?"
"It should be, otherwise there is no way to explain why his locator was eaten by the fish."
Kevin said ambiguously, and glanced at Homelander with the corner of his eye.
Homelander's smile appeared on his face again, and it can be seen that he is very satisfied with Kevin's answer.
He stopped paying attention to Kevin and walked to Madeline, looking down at her and said:
"No matter who did it, we must first find the body of the invisible man and... find them."
Madeline took a deep breath and looked up at Homelander and Kevin:
"Then how about you guys investigate this?"
Homelander smiled and said nothing.
But Kevin sighed and said:
"Boss, my movie is about to start shooting..."
"During the shooting, do a little bit of what a superhero should do. That's it. We'll talk about the rest after we find the murderer you mentioned, or the body of the invisible man."
Madeline quickly determined the tasks for the two and then turned and left.
As the vice president of the Water Group, Madeline had a lot of things to do, and the matter of the invisible man was not worth her attention.
After Madeline left, only Kevin and Homelander were left in the meeting room of the seven-man team.
Homelander sat in his captain's seat, staring at Madeline's back and thinking deeply.
Kevin swayed a little in his chair, and felt that there should be nothing else, so he planned to get up and leave:
"If there is nothing else, I'll leave first, captain."
"Wait."
Homelander suddenly called Kevin.
Kevin's heart jumped, and he calmed his heartbeat and breathing, turned his head and looked at Homelander:
"Anything else?"
Burying the invisible man's body box and finding the locator and throwing it into the sea, Kevin was sure that no human except himself would know these two things.
Therefore, he didn't think Homelander would find anything about this matter.
But the other thing was not certain.
Although Lokomotiv is similar to Shenhai, both are the type who bully the weak and fear the strong. After being taught a lesson by Kevin, he may not tell the motherland about Kimiko.
But "maybe" is not "absolutely", and there is a possibility that he will turn around and tell the motherland about this.
Kevin has actually been mentally prepared for this and has made corresponding countermeasures, but he thought that the motherland would find out about this later...
Kevin is ready to deal with the motherland's attack.
But what Kevin didn't expect was that after calling him, the motherland laughed and asked:
"The recent increase in fans is good?"
"Not bad."
"The movie is about to start shooting, and your career is rejuvenated, Shenhai."
"Because there is a new script recently, captain, do you have any questions?"
Kevin didn't know what the motherland was going to say, so he just took the initiative to ask.
Homelander put his feet on the table, looked at Kevin, and asked:
"Are you interested in the work of the Invisible Man?"
"Um... Captain, if you mean to get intelligence or something..."
"No, no, no, not these, it's the business matters that the Invisible Man was originally responsible for. I originally planned to hand these jobs over to Xuanse, but now it seems that you are more suitable."
Invisible Man is responsible for the business promotion and derivative works creation of the Seven-Man Team in the Seven-Man Team.
Although it is not the main responsibility, the Water Group usually asks the Invisible Man to handle matters related to the Seven-Man Team.
Now that the Invisible Man is not here, these matters are temporarily shelved.
Originally, Homelander was thinking of handing these matters over to Xuanse, or simply letting the Water Group take care of them, but now seeing the activeness of Shenhai, Homelander has a new idea.
In Homelander's eyes, Shenhai is still very obedient now, and he has become motivated recently, which is much better than when he only knew how to play with fish before.
If Shenhai is interested in this aspect, he can hand over the work that originally belonged to the Invisible Man to Shenhai.
Thereby consolidating the interests of the seven-member team.
