Chapter 51 Safe, Temporarily

Homelander came to the door in person, right in front of him.

Although Kevin didn't know Homelander's intention, he was also alert in his heart, but there was no change on the surface.

He took a step forward to say something to Homelander, and Starlight Annie subconsciously grabbed his hand and looked at him with worry.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have this kind of relationship."

Homelander seemed to be joking, but it could be seen from Homelander's emotionless eyes.

He didn't really want to joke, and he didn't come here today to specifically satirize Kevin and Annie's screen relationship.

He didn't come with good intentions...

Kevin said to himself and pinched Annie's hand slightly.

Annie's hands were soft and tender, but her palms were full of sweat.

I'm afraid she also understood that Homelander didn't come here with good intentions this time, and she was worried and panicked.

Kevin gently pinched her palm, shook his head slightly at her, and signaled her not to be nervous, and then his eyes fell on Annie's side pocket.

Paying attention to Kevin's eyes, Annie was slightly stunned and looked down at her pocket.

The pocket of her jeans was stretched into a square shape by the object inside, where the mobile phone was located.

At this moment, Annie instantly understood something. She took a deep breath, let go of Kevin's hand, and followed Kevin's instructions, stepped back two steps, and gave space to Kevin and Homelander.

"It's just a screen relationship."

After comforting Annie, Kevin stepped forward and smiled at Homelander:

"Captain, you shouldn't take this relationship seriously, right?"

Although Kevin and Starlight have just started to hype up their CP, some people have begun to promote this CP under the public relations of the Water Group.

There are also super topics about the two on Twitter, but the popularity is not very high.

That's why Homelander said this at this moment.

But in fact, no one in the Water Group regards the two as a couple, and everyone knows that this is just acting.

Homelander also knows very well, and he even knows better than others. Shenhai's previous "sexual fetish" naturally doesn't think that Kevin likes Starlight.

Now, to say this, the mockery is greater than the ridicule.

The muscles on the Homelander's cheek twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but Kevin had already spoken before he opened his mouth:

"Captain, you came to me late at night, is there something wrong? If it's because of the interview just now, I want to say that I don't know about this matter."

"Oh, I don't know."

Homelander laughed sarcastically, but didn't really hold on to this matter.

This matter is just a small matter, even including Kevin's rescue of Kimiko, he doesn't really care about it.

Homelander only cares about one thing, that is, Shenhai now threatens his position.

A clownfish that he never took seriously before actually has the capital to compete with him. This is what makes Homelander angry, and it is also the reason why he came here.

He just wants to find a reason to teach Shenhai a lesson and let him know who is the boss in the seven-man team.

Homelander walked towards Kevin, got closer to Kevin, and then said in a seemingly normal way:

"Then you beat the train head and took the criminal away from him, and you didn't know about this?"

Kevin frowned when he heard this.

The moment Homelander asked this question, Kevin subconsciously turned his head to look at Annie who was hiding in the distance.

Annie looked stunned, and didn't know whether to continue filming or pause the mobile phone in her hand.

That's right, Annie, who was hiding in the distance at this moment, was filming this side.

Annie was very clear about Kevin's hint, which was nothing more than wanting to use the video to prevent Homelander from acting rashly.

Because both of them understood how much Homelander cared about his public image.

In front of the public, no matter who offended him, even if he was extremely angry, he would suppress the anger in his heart and would not do anything that would damage his image.

So when she got Kevin's hint, Annie immediately hid in the distance and put Kevin and Homelander in front of the camera.

But Homelander was obviously not a fool.

He noticed Annie's actions, but ignored them. Instead, he turned the tables in front of the camera and said that it was Kevin who beat the locomotive and rescued the criminal from the locomotive.

Fortunately, this was not a live broadcast, but a video recording, otherwise, who knows how much trouble the words of the motherland would cause on the Internet.

The reaction of the motherland was indeed beyond Kevin's expectations.

But fortunately, Kevin was not without a way to deal with it.

After a little thought, Kevin chuckled and asked back:

"Captain, are you sure you want to tell me this?"

"What? Is there anything you can't say?"

"Okay, if you really want to talk about this, then I want to ask you."

Kevin lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the motherland could hear:

"You took out Compound No. 5 without telling Mr. Edgar, what exactly do you want to do?"

At that moment, the expression of the motherland froze.

"...What?"

"Captain, didn't you hear clearly? Do you want me to repeat it again?"

Kevin took a step forward and faced Homelander.

The two were very close now. If they fought at this distance, it would probably only take a moment.

But Homelander didn't seem to want to fight Kevin.

His anger and the idea of ​​​​making trouble for Kevin seemed to disappear without a trace in that moment.

His eyes flickered constantly, staring at Kevin for a long time, and then asked in a low voice:

"You... know?"

"I didn't know before, but by chance, Mr. Edgar talked to me in person these two days, so I know what the potion that gives people superpowers is, and... Captain, you took Compound No. 5 without authorization."

Kevin was still smiling, but this smile was so annoying in Homelander's eyes.

The skin on Homelander's face was shaking, and Kevin would never feel strange even if he gave Kevin a heat vision in the next second.

But Kevin firmly believed that Homelander would not do this.

Because Homelander is still afraid of Edgar, at least for now.

Homelander is indeed patient, he knows what Kevin said is true.

Taking away Compound No. 5, injecting adults, trying to cultivate super criminals, these things are not the intention of the Vought Group.

It is his personal idea.

This matter cannot be put on the surface, and Homelander can't really force Kevin to do something.

When Kevin mentioned Compound No. 5 and Edgar, Homelander was at a disadvantage.

He couldn't take action against Kevin because he couldn't figure out the relationship between Kevin and Edgar, nor did he know how much Kevin knew.

Even because Kevin mentioned Edgar, Homelander thought that what the host said in the interview today was a signal from Edgar.

'Don't go too far, I know what you are doing'

Edgar wanted to say this to him.

"Look, Captain, I know a lot, a lot, more than you think, but have I ever told these things to anyone?"

Seeing that Homelander was speechless, Kevin's tone softened instead.

He whispered to Homelander like a mean adult coaxing a child:

"We have never been enemies, Captain, and I have never regarded you as an enemy. Captain, you should be able to see that whether it is the plane incident or the interview just now, I am speaking for you, right?"

Homelander was thinking, and his expression did not change at all.

His pupils without any emotion reflected Kevin's shadow. This guy who he had never taken seriously before now filled his sight.

Kevin was also looking at him, with a smile on his face and an unchanged expression. His appearance, which was taken care of for the interview, was particularly dazzling at this moment.

The two looked at each other, as if time was frozen. Annie swallowed nervously on the side, because the words they said later were very low, and she could not hear anything clearly.

But she could also tell from the atmosphere that this was a critical stage.

Whether they would fight or calm down, it all depended on the next actions of the two.

One second, ten seconds... thirty seconds.

After a full minute, the motherland suddenly laughed.

"Ha, ha, Shenhai, you are really interesting. I was just joking just now."

"In fact, the thing between you and the locomotive was a misunderstanding, right? I know that it was the criminal..."

The motherland smiled falsely, and Kevin also smiled falsely:

"Captain, don't worry, she is just a misunderstanding, just an innocent person who was accidentally involved in the battle. Captain, you can find out her identity in the Water Group."

"Yes, just an innocent person."

The motherland said, staring at Kevin for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hug:

"Anyway, congratulations on your fame, brother. ”

There is nothing to congratulate about this kind of thing, but it doesn’t matter. Homelander just wants to find a reason to end this unpleasant conversation.

Looking at Homelander’s outstretched hands, Kevin did not hesitate to stretch out his hands and hug Homelander, saying:

“Thank you, Captain.”

“You’re welcome, but Shenhai, your heart beats very fast. Remember not to be so nervous during the interview next time.”

“Haha, Captain too, did you exercise too much when you came here too hastily? The blood flows very fast. Don’t be so anxious next time. It’s just an ordinary interview.”

The two spoke in their usual voices, and this time, Annie could hear the voice clearly.

At the same time, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that everything should be fine this time.

The two of them, like good brothers, patted each other on the back and let go of each other.

Homelander put his right hand on Kevin’s shoulder and squeezed it hard.

He stared at Kevin for the last time, patted Kevin’s shoulder, and smiled:

"Then I look forward to your future performance, brother."

After saying that, Homelander turned around and flew away without even saying hello.

A sonic boom sounded in the air, and Homelander had disappeared into the vast night.

A little.

After making sure that Homelander had left and would not come back, Annie, who was far away, put away her phone and trotted to Kevin:

"Kevin, are you okay?"

"... I'm fine."

Kevin said this to Starlight, then turned his head to look at his shoulder, which was where Homelander had just pinched him, and repeated again:

"I'm fine."

Except that his shoulder was almost crushed by Homelander.

He was really fine.
