Chapter 50 I'll Talk to Him in Person

The meeting room was extremely quiet, and the locomotive was so trembling that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Homelander looked at him, waiting for his answer.

The locomotive's eyes wandered, and suddenly focused on a screen in the meeting room of the seven-member team.

Homelander looked along his line of sight.

The screen was playing an interview program. Homelander remembered that the invisible man had participated in a similar interview.

But now, the person sitting next to the host was not the invisible man.

It was Shenhai, who was wearing a suit and looked handsome, and looked even more handsome than Homelander.

Seeing Shenhai in this state, Homelander couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He stared at Shenhai's appearance for a long time.

Then he started to listen to this interview program.

"...Now many people are curious, how did you catch the plane smoothly that day? This is incredible!"

The host mentioned the hijacking incident. Shenhai controlled the sea water to save the people on the plane. In everyone's eyes, it was like the sea god Poseidon himself descended to earth.

Many people even began to regard Shen Hai as the son of God like Homelander.

Son of Poseidon.

Facing the host's question, Shen Hai sat there with his legs crossed, looked at the camera and explained:

"Well, to be precise, I didn't catch it. I just used water to "hold" the plane like Homelander did, and then slowed down the speed of the plane and let it slowly fall on the sea."

"In other words, you just used some way to give the plane a buffer?"

"Almost."

"Then this must require a lot of water, right? Then this leads to the second question that the audience is very curious about, when did you start to have the ability to control water?"

The host asked a very critical question again.

Shen Hai thought for a while, and then answered:

"In fact, I have always had the power to control water. Rapidly traveling through water and breathing in water are actually mostly related to water. It's just that the water flow I control has become stronger in recent times.

"If you are really curious about this question, please pay attention to my new movie "Deep Sea 3", and any questions you have will be answered there. ”

“Oh, Shenhai, this is not a press conference for you to promote your movie…”

“Is that so? Sorry, the director cut off the segment just now! ”

“Shenhai, this is a live broadcast.”

The host said helplessly, and the audience laughed kindly.

After a while, the host saw that the atmosphere was harmonious and changed the topic again.

He asked Shenhai seriously:

“But then again, I heard someone on the Internet say that the real reason for the plane crash was that Homelander and Maeve went to the cockpit and accidentally destroyed the control console… Is this true?”

“? "

As soon as the host said this, he saw that Shen Hai's face changed slightly under the camera.

It was not only Shen Hai who changed his face. Outside the camera, the expressions of the Chinese people who were watching the live broadcast also became very ugly.

He clenched his hands in red gloves tightly, and the creaking sound of the rubber gloves echoed in the conference room. The locomotive didn't even dare to breathe.

This interview was instructed by the Water Group, and the host who was responsible for interviewing Shen Hai also belonged to the Water Group.

Or the investor of this entire program is the Water Group.

Therefore, what questions the host should ask and what questions the guests should answer are all under the control of Water.

In theory, the host should not ask questions that may damage the reputation of the captain of the seven-member team.

But he asked it anyway!

Even if this may be a script, Shen Hai will give it later. This is a very reasonable explanation, but what will the audience think when they hear that Homelander may be the culprit of the crash?

Will Homelander's number of fans be shaken by this?

Just thinking about it, Homelander can't accept it.

Looking at Shenhai, Homelander felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

Originally, seeing Shenhai's recent performance, Homelander thought Shenhai would be his most capable subordinate.

But first, he almost stole the limelight at the last thank-you meeting, and then he vaguely heard that the group's board of directors thought highly of him.

This made Homelander unhappy, and now, the reporter is still asking such a question...

Homelander doesn't want to listen to Shenhai's answer anymore.

He took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at the locomotive, and returned to the topic he had with the locomotive at the beginning:

"It was Shenhai, right? It was Shenhai who saved that Asian girl? "

When the homelander asked him a question just now, the locomotive subconsciously looked at the deep sea on the screen.

Although this may be something the locomotive did unintentionally, just like when a teacher asks a student a question, the student subconsciously looks around.

But the homelander still firmly believes that the Asian woman's escape is definitely related to the deep sea.

Perhaps because Homelander told the ‘truth’, it was not that Locomotive took the initiative to tell it, Locomotive was relieved. He hesitated for a moment and finally admitted:

“It was… it was him, but he asked me not to tell you…”

“So you have been hiding it until now? Locomotive, am I the captain or is he the captain!”

“I’m sorry! Homelander, I… I’m sorry… but… but he has become very powerful for some reason, he… can control the water in my body…”

“So you are afraid that he will kill you? Hmm? Then why aren’t you afraid that I will kill you?”

Homelander was furious. He grabbed Locomotive’s head with one hand, and a scarlet light shone in his angry eyes.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!! I’m really sorry! I won’t do this next time… next time! Absolutely not! I’m sorry, please forgive me!”

Homelander’s murderous intent came over him, and Locomotive, who knew his character, begged for mercy again and again, and was about to kneel down and kowtow to Homelander.

Homelander didn't listen to his explanation, pushed the locomotive to the ground, pointed at him and said:

"Now, get rid of the demon claw girl immediately! As for Deep Sea..."

Homelander turned his head and looked at Deep Sea on the screen, who answered calmly and showed a handsome smile, with a cold look:

"I will go to talk to him in person."

...

The Water Group is really going to make trouble...

Kevin, who came down from the stage, recalled the questions asked by the host on the stage and thought in his heart.

Just as Homelander guessed, everything in this interview was arranged, including what the host would ask and what Kevin would answer, all of which had a script.

Even Kevin's publicity of pretending to be stupid on the stage was part of the script.

But there was only one thing that was not in the script.

That was the host's inquiry about the hijacking incident, which should not have appeared in the live broadcast venue.

Although the matter has been concluded, Kevin can directly use the official statement to evade it, and it will not have any impact on the overall situation.

But once this question comes out, it will more or less affect Homelander's public image.

There must be many people wondering if Homelander really did something like that day.

Just like Homelander's haters.

Homelander's public image is damaged, on the contrary, Kevin's image is rapidly building...

Does the Water Group really want to train Kevin to be the next captain?

Are they serious! ?

Kevin thought Edgar was just talking, just like the pie he has always painted for others.

But now it seems that Edgar really has this in mind?

If this is the case, then I am afraid that there will really be a day when I and Homelander will confront each other...

"Are you okay?"

Under the stage, Anne, who was wearing a casual dress, came over. She looked at Kevin who was in deep thought and asked worriedly.

Kevin smiled at her:

"It's okay, how could I be in trouble? By the way, how is Kimiko? Is she used to living with you?"

"It's okay, she lives well with me."

Annie responded simply, and then suddenly asked:

"Speaking of which, I plan to invite you as a guest to attend the Faith Expo in two days. What do you think?"

The Faith Expo held by Ezekiel will start in a few days. Annie did not forget to look for clues in Ezekiel, but she felt that it was a bit unsafe to go alone.

Kevin happened to have done such a big thing during this period, and many believers began to regard Kevin as the new son of God.

Anne could also invite Kevin to be a guest through this incident.

After all, there were many Catholics on the plane that day.

Anne wanted to find a helper, and Kevin knew it, but the problem was...

"I don't believe in Catholicism."

Kevin said this to Anne.

He is a non-believer. He doesn't believe in any sect. Such a non-believer doesn't seem to be suitable to participate in this Faith Expo.

"It's okay, you're an actor, just perform a little bit."

Annie patted Kevin on the shoulder and said with a smile.

If that's the case, then Kevin might not be unconvinced to go there. Anyway, it should be considered a part of the plot. Kevin can also get skill points by participating in it, so why not.

"That's true. Well, I'll arrange the schedule these days, and I'll go with you that day."

"Okay, since you agreed, then shall we go out tomorrow...buy some things that Catholics will have...or something like that."

Seeing Kevin agreed, Anne quickly stated her request.

This request was made very quickly, without any thinking, as if Anne had already thought about doing this.

Kevin was stunned, stopped and turned to look at Anne, stared at her for a while, and then asked half-jokingly:

"Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. You just now...want to ask me out tomorrow?"

"What? No no no, how is that possible."

Anne was stunned for a moment, with a barely perceptible panic in her eyes. She waved her hands to explain:

"I just think that as a Catholic, you should have something that can prove your faith. We Catholics all have one, such as this."

Annie said, and took out the small cross on her neck, trying to prove that she invited Kevin to go out together that day, not to date him.

Annie's reason seemed sufficient and reasonable.

Kevin thought about it and felt that it was right.

Since he agreed to Anne's invitation to attend the Expo, he had to do a good job on the surface.

Chatting with Anne, the two left the backstage together and prepared to go back.

Perhaps because of Kevin's problem of not paying attention to the atmosphere just now, the relationship between him and Anne is a bit awkward now. After walking for a distance, neither of them spoke.

This awkwardness continued until someone fell from the sky.

Bang.

The superhero-like landing, the blue hero costume and the red cape showed the identity of this person.

Looking at the suddenly appearing Homelander, Kevin stopped instantly.

He almost subconsciously blocked Annie behind him and looked at the Homelander who suddenly came here.

But before he could ask, the Homelander asked the two in a seemingly kind but actually cold tone:

"What? Did I disturb your date?"

Whether I disturbed the date or not is another matter. Anyway, you suddenly came to me and really scared me.

Kevin thought so while looking at the Homelander who came uninvited.
