Chapter 45 You Are the Real Heroes!

The cheers from the audience were sporadic, and the few people who were still shouting stopped cheering when they saw no one following.

Even because of this sudden change, the reporters around stopped pressing the shutter quickly.

In an instant, the whole thank-you meeting suddenly became terribly quiet, and a heavy atmosphere weighed on everyone.

Maeve followed and looked at the back of the motherland with a flickering look.

The motherland still had a smile on his face, and he asked in a seemingly normal way:

"What's wrong? Don't you welcome me?"

"Ahem, maybe everyone is so excited to see the motherland that they can't speak."

Kevin tried to change the subject and planned to skip this welcome and go directly to the thank-you part.

But the motherland raised his hand to him, stretched out his index finger and shook it, indicating Kevin not to speak.

Seeing this, Kevin could only shut his mouth and frowned slightly while watching the motherland perform.

"Everyone likes Deep Sea very much, I can see that, but I can also see that you seem to have some opinions about me..."

During the plane crash that day, although everyone didn't know what happened, some people saw the water flowing outside the cabin.

After the water was evacuated by Kevin, Kevin personally boarded the plane to comfort everyone, and everyone understood that it was not only Homelander and Maeve who saved everyone.

There was also Deep Sea.

And Deep Sea was the main force.

Not to mention that someone recorded the process of Kevin saving the plane in that situation and posted it online, which is why everyone kept cheering for "Deep Sea" at the beginning.

So what Homelander said was right, everyone really likes Deep Sea now, and many people even come for Deep Sea. They want to know when Deep Sea has the ability to control water flow.

But Homelander's other words are also correct.

Everyone has some opinions about Homelander...

Kevin heard Maeve talk about what happened that day. Although Homelander did not use overly intense words to insult the survivors as in the original book, he also showed his attitude of wanting to leave.

This attitude is very obvious, anyone who is not a fool can see it.

Therefore, except for some fanatical fans, some people here now have complicated feelings about the motherland.

Did the motherland want to give up on everyone that day? What exactly caused the plane accident that day? Some smart people may have already had ideas in their minds.

"Homelander! Did you want to give up on us that day?"

Suddenly, a slightly fat middle-aged white man stood up and questioned the motherland on behalf of everyone.

At this moment, there was silence on the stage and off the stage.

"!?"

WTF! ?

Seeing someone stand up to question the motherland, Kevin's eyes widened.

Isn't it true that the people of America are so brave? Dare to dismantle the motherland in front of him?

And what's wrong with you, the Water Group?

Isn't it common sense to conduct a field survey before organizing a thank-you meeting! Why would someone jump out and ask questions that shouldn't be asked at this moment!

How exactly does your public relations department work? !

Kevin looked at Ashley instantly, only to see that Ashley was also panicked. Seeing Kevin's gaze, she waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that she had no idea about such a thing.

What made Ashley's eyes darker was that after the middle-aged man stood up, there were many more whispers at the scene.

"Yeah, I remember... He seemed to give up on us with Maeve at that time..."

"If it weren't for the deep sea, we would have been abandoned..."

"Did the Homelander really want to save us at that time?"

The survivors talked in a flurry, their voices were not loud, but they could be heard clearly when gathered together.

Especially with the hearing of the Homelander, the words of these people could be heard clearly.

Kevin could see that the smile on the Homelander's face seemed to be a little bit unable to be maintained.

The reporters arranged by the Water Group stopped filming very cleverly, and some even planned to turn off the live broadcast in progress.

The reporters from other TV stations, however, took crazy photos of the man who stood up.

The coldness in the Homelander's eyes gradually deepened, even though he was smiling.

However, his many years of acting career allowed him to maintain his emotions. He still smiled and said to the man who stood out:

"How is it possible? I will never give up any innocent person, absolutely not!"

"But, I have..."

The man who stood out reached into his waist pocket.

Kevin and the Homelander could see that it was a camera.

At this moment, the Homelander finally changed his face, and Kevin instantly shouted to interrupt the man's action:

"The Homelander has never thought of giving up on you!"

The shout made the man stop his action, and everyone's eyes were all on Kevin.

The Homelander next to Kevin looked at the seven-man team member who he usually didn't care much about with a little surprise.

He thought for a moment, and finally said nothing, closing his mouth and watching Kevin perform.

On the stage, Kevin shouted a sentence and repeated it again:

"Homelander, I didn't think of giving up on you that day. If he really wanted to give up on you, why would I be there? Why did he risk his own injury to hold up the plane and prevent it from falling?

"Think about it carefully, everyone! I was not the only one who saved you, and it was not me who stayed outside who got rid of the robbers, but Maeve and Homelander. They were saving you, so how could they give up on you! "

Kevin's words made everyone below fall into deep thought.

Seeing that the storm was about to pass, suddenly, among the quiet crowd, a clear girl's voice came.

"But that day, he did give up me and my mother..."

The girl's voice was not loud, but it was very clear in the quiet scene of everyone's thinking at this moment.

When Maeve saw the girl, there was a little apology in her eyes, but it soon disappeared and her eyes turned elsewhere.

Kevin took a deep breath and looked at the girl carefully.

Maeve told him that before calling him that day, when she knew that the Homelanders were going to abandon everyone on the plane, she tried to take the girl and the woman next to her away.

The thought was that even if they could save one person, as long as they saved an innocent life, they would not come in vain.

But how could the Homelanders, who had already given up saving people, might leave with the ‘witness’.

So Homelander gave up on them.

And unlike all the others who didn’t hear Homelander talking to Maeve, this mother and daughter clearly heard the fact that Homelander was going to abandon them.

But Kevin remembered that he should have reminded Ashley to comfort the mother and daughter…

Kevin turned his gaze to the girl’s mother.

The girl’s mother, the woman with a slightly haggard face, quickly covered the girl’s mouth when the girl finished speaking, but it was obviously too late.

Homelander’s eyes twitched.

Maeve, who was beside him, put her hands on her waist to maintain her heroic appearance. After watching this scene, she turned her head slightly, without any intention of defending her.

Kevin, who paid attention to all this, took a slow breath and exhaled a long breath.

He quickly came to the girl and asked:

“What’s your name? ”

“Maya… My name is Maya…”

The girl answered in a low voice.

“Okay, Maya, maybe you think that the motherland wants to abandon you and ignore you, but have you ever thought that maybe the motherland doesn’t want you to make trouble, so they deliberately pretend to be villains? ”

Okay, let’s change the concept here and erase the little girl’s bad impression of the motherland.

Kevin organized his words in his mind, and without waiting for the little girl to answer, he continued:

“Maya, you are in elementary school now, right?”

“Yes, fifth grade of elementary school.”

“Then in class, there should be a teacher who is angry with a student and says ‘I don’t want to care about you anymore’, right? "

To be honest, Kevin is not sure whether the teachers in American elementary schools are like the teachers in China, saying "you are the worst class" at any time.

But it seems that they are annoyed by the children and scold them loudly.

Fortunately, Kevin guessed correctly, and Maya nodded gently.

While Kevin was relieved, he continued:

"Then you should know clearly that the teacher's "I don't want to care anymore" is just a momentary angry remark, and he doesn't really want to give up his students, right?

"Homelander, it's the same."

When Kevin said this, he stood up and said to everyone:

"I don't know much about the situation on the plane that day, but I think everyone must have been helpless and scared. In such a situation, everyone can't think rationally.

"Seeing Homelander and Maeve leaving, I think they are giving up on you, but have you ever thought that they just want to go out for help and find a way to save you?

"You didn't think so. You just thought that the Homelander had abandoned you, so you panicked and squeezed in front of the Homelander to ask him to take you away. In that situation, every second of delay would delay precious rescue time.

"How could the Homelander not be angry with you?

"So the Homelander is like a teacher in school, yelling at you 'I don't care about you'! Then he turned around and left, but what was the actual result? Everyone saw that he saved you."

Nonsense.

Kevin is now talking nonsense, and Kevin knows it himself.

But Kevin also knows that the situation that day was very critical. When people are in danger, their minds are in chaos. Except for a few calm people, few people can recall what happened when they were in danger.

So as long as there is no absolute evidence, everyone will glorify the Homelander based on what Kevin said.

The memories in their minds will automatically fit Kevin's nonsense now.

Even if they realize later that it shouldn't have been the case, the thank-you party has ended and the news has been broadcast. Where can they go to say it?

In the end, three people make a tiger, and those who are suspicious will probably think, "It's probably like this", and finally let it go.

After giving everyone a little time to digest these words, Kevin continued:

"It was the motherland who held the plane hard that day and saved you. It was also the motherland who comforted you as soon as the plane stopped!"

In fact, although the motherland entered the cabin to comfort everyone, it was probably because Kevin got a lot of water on his body during the process of saving the plane.

He cared about his image and flew around in the sky and waited until the water on his body dried before rushing back.

But at that time, the rescue team sent by the international community had arrived...

But this is not important. What is important is that the motherland did enter the cabin to comfort everyone, and that's enough.

So after Kevin finished speaking, he walked towards the man who had raised the question and said to him seriously:

"Sir, I know you were very scared that day, and I understand your anger that you thought Homeland was going to abandon you, but no matter what, Homeland saved you, didn't they?

"Can you bear to let our hero suffer an injustice that he shouldn't have suffered?"

Kevin said so, and looked at Homeland.

Homelander met his eyes, and he understood Kevin's meaning in an instant. He looked up at the sky and blinked a few times, as if his eyes were red.

... You are really good at acting.

Kevin complained in his heart, but on the surface he said sincerely and solemnly:

"Sir, please don't let our hero down."

"Yes... I'm sorry Homelander... I'm sorry! I remembered it wrongly. You wanted to save us. It was you, Maeve, and Deep Sea who saved us together! You are our hero! "

Under Kevin's nonsense, the middle-aged man chose to ignore the "evidence" in the camera on his waist.

He said to Homelander with great guilt.

Homelander shook his head, walked forward, patted Kevin's shoulder, patted the man's shoulder, and said to the camera:

"That day, I ignored your feelings and said things I shouldn't have said to you. I can't be called a hero. The real heroes are you--"

Homelander pointed at the camera and all the survivors present:

"You who didn't give up hope until the end! You are the real heroes!"

After this sentence, the survivors finally cheered, and they finally began to call Maeve and Homelander's names.

And Kevin, who was standing aside, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The moment he heard this famous line, Kevin knew that this accident was over.
