Chapter 52 No More Escape

Homelander pinched Kevin's shoulder at the end, and he was actually very strong.

If it was an ordinary person, his shoulder would have been crushed long ago.

But fortunately, Kevin has a good physique. Although he is definitely not as good as Homelander and Maeve, he should at least be comparable to Starlight.

Although Homelander is very strong, he only made Kevin's shoulder red and swollen at most.

With Kevin's skill of [accelerated self-healing], this injury will be restored to normal in just a moment.

From this point of view, Homelander looks aggressive, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of killing Kevin, at least not now.

He probably just wanted to come and knock Kevin to let him know who is the boss in the seven-man team.

But he didn't expect to hit a wall with Kevin. Kevin not only has a handle on him, but also has far more strength than before.

Maybe he is still not as good as Homelander, but it is enough for Homelander to be afraid of.

Now Kevin can feel the blood flow in Homelander's body at will, and after the skill level is improved, he can control the blood in Homelander's body.

Manipulating blood can cause damage to people from the inside. Even if the motherland is strong, thick and bloody, it will definitely not withstand Kevin's internal destruction.

Of course, this is based on the premise that Kevin's LV5 water flow control can cause damage to the motherland.

Earlier, Kevin decided to save skill points to improve himself first, so he did not move any of the remaining nine skill points and kept them all.

According to this progress, tomorrow when he meets Kimiko, or goes to comfort the survivors of the hijacking incident, the skills should increase slowly, and it won't take long to accumulate 16 skill points.

Kevin can then upgrade one of the LV4 skills to LV5.

However, Kevin is still a little difficult to decide whether to improve physical fitness or improve water flow control.

The improvement of physical fitness should make Kevin have the same physical fitness as the motherland, at least he can resist a little more.

Although water flow control has not yet been able to point out the extension skills that may be magic, the control of water flow alone is enough to make this skill Kevin's first means of output.

One attack, one defense.

It is said that the best defense is offense, but Kevin is more inclined to max out his physique first.

But it is useless to think so much now. No matter his physique or water control ability, he has no skill points to upgrade.

Therefore, Kevin just thought about it for a while, and then stopped thinking about it. He turned to look at Annie:

"You worked hard just now. Now it's okay. Go back."

"... What did you say to the motherland just now?"

After confirming that Kevin was fine, Annie asked the question in her heart.

When Kevin mentioned "Compound No. 5", only the motherland could hear the voice. Annie didn't hear it clearly, so she was very curious about what method Kevin used to make the motherland give in and retreat.

In response, Kevin took out the answer he had prepared long ago:

"Regarding the matter of the group boss, the motherland is most afraid of him."

"Mr. Edgar?"

"Yes, I am not convenient to say more about other things. Anyway..."

Kevin took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Don't worry too much about the motherland in the future. If he goes to trouble you, come to me."

Kevin said seriously.

This sentence represents Kevin's determination to fight against the Homelander.

There is no way, the Homelander is not so easy to deal with.

Although Kevin thought before that as long as he coaxed the Homelander, he should be fine.

But after what happened today, Kevin realized.

No matter how much he stood on his side before, and no matter whether Kevin wanted to fight against the Homelander, as long as the Homelander determined that Kevin was a threat, there would be no less disputes between the two in the future.

Blindly escaping and flattering are no longer feasible.

Kevin is thinking about lying down, but he is not the kind of person who will do nothing even if others bully him to his face.

So from now on, Kevin plans to cultivate his own strength in the seven-man team.

Starlight Annie is the first person Kevin wants to win over.

Well, even if Kevin doesn't say it, Annie will stand on Kevin's side unconditionally.

Kevin's words touched Annie's heart.

Her eyes were shining brighter as she looked at Kevin, as if she had used her superpowers.

Kevin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Anne's shining eyes, and found a random excuse to end the topic:

"Well, anyway, it's just like this. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Okay, by the way, don't forget about tomorrow's things."

Before leaving, Anne reminded again.

Kevin was slightly startled, but quickly reacted:

"Tomorrow? Oh, buying Catholic accessories, right? Remember, call me tomorrow."

After hurriedly ending the conversation with Anne, Kevin returned home to rest.

No words were spoken all night.

The next morning, Kevin was woken up by the alarm clock as usual.

He first fed the pet fish in the fish tank as usual, and then began to organize the day's schedule.

In the morning, he and Annie had things to do.

Kevin had to visit the survivors of the hijacking incident. First, he had to cooperate with the Water Group to do publicity, and second, he had to get new skill points through these people.

Kevin currently only had a few skill points left to light up a level 5 skill. To be honest, he was a little impatient.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so he could go out with Annie.

But this situation is uncertain.

With Kevin's current popularity, there might be new announcements in the afternoon.

When he came to work at the company, completed the routine publicity work and condolences to the survivors, it was already noon.

Although Kevin still had a movie to shoot, because of his feat of saving the plane, he had to promote this matter recently, so the filming of the movie had to be postponed.

Moreover, the movie script seemed to be changing now. It was said that the screenwriter got inspiration from this hijacking incident and wanted to slightly change the plot in the middle part.

Therefore, the filming progress was temporarily suspended, and it would take some time to reshoot.

After get off work at noon, Kevin planned to leave the Water Building only after he was sure that there would be no other schedule in the afternoon.

But before leaving the building, Kevin met someone on the road.

One of the members of the seven-member team, the locomotive.

The locomotive didn't know what he was thinking about. He walked past Kevin without noticing his existence, and his expression was quite trance.

Until Kevin called him.

"Hey, locomotive."

"!"

The locomotive's footsteps suddenly paused. The moment Kevin called him, he seemed to think of something. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He turned around stiffly and looked at Kevin:

"Uh, hi, deep sea."

The locomotive's reaction was obvious. Kevin could feel that many controllable water sources emerged on the surface of his body.

This made Kevin smile brighter. He walked to the front of the locomotive, raised his hand and patted his shoulder:

"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a while. How have you been recently?"

"Not bad. What's up?"

"Don't be so nervous."

Kevin kneaded the locomotive's shoulder, just like the motherland kneaded his shoulder yesterday, and said lightly:

"I just want to know, what happened that day, you didn't tell anyone else, right?"

"I...I..."

Kevin's question was not what the locomotive expected.

When seeing Kevin appear here safe and sound today, the locomotive knew that the motherland didn't really make Kevin feel "scared" yesterday.

Instead, he told everyone about Kevin saving Kimiko, and Kevin knew about it.

Thinking of Kevin's improved ability, the locomotive suddenly hesitated and couldn't speak, and the sweat on his body became more and more.

The locomotive didn't know if it was his illusion.

The moment Kevin put his hand on his shoulder, he felt that the water he had just drunk seemed to be churning in his stomach.

The locomotive was so nervous that he couldn't speak. Kevin felt the fear emanating from the locomotive and smiled even brighter:

"Okay, I believe you are not the kind of person who would betray your brothers. The Homelander must have heard this by accident."

"Sorry, Shenhai, I... didn't mean to tell..."

"I told you not to be so nervous. Look at you, you are sweating."

Kevin seemed to be very concerned and took out a tissue and handed it to the locomotive.

But as soon as the locomotive took the tissue, Kevin whispered:

"I don't care what you said to the Homelander, but I don't want this to happen again next time, okay?"

"..."

"Go and get busy. I think you still have a lot of things to deal with."

After warning the locomotive, Kevin stopped making things difficult for the guy who was threatened by himself and the Homelander. He left him and walked into the elevator exclusive to the seven-man team.

Leaning on the elevator, Kevin thought a little as the elevator went down.

After a while, he suddenly took out his cell phone and called Ashley:

"Ashley, it's me, Shenhai, you should have Shockwave's contact information, right? Give me his phone number, I need to talk to him about something."
