Chapter 75: Weakened Version of Professor X

Butcher's face was uncertain, and his expression was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

Kevin looked at him, and his smile was still there, which was in sharp contrast with his expression.

He knew why Butcher's face was so ugly, because Kevin had never met Butcher before.

The only time they really met was the time they met at the Mercy Hospital before.

Before that, it was probably the time when Frankie went to the locomotive lounge to steal something and was caught by Kevin.

But it was not Butcher who met Kevin that time, but Frankie.

It stands to reason that after only one or two meetings, Kevin should not know too much.

At most, he would think that the Black Robe Team was Huey's companions to deal with the locomotive.

But now, Kevin not only accurately said Butcher's name, but also knew the grudge between Butcher and the Homelanders.

This means that Kevin knows these things very well, and even started to investigate this group of people after only meeting them twice.

Perhaps in the minds of Butcher and others, Kevin has become a cautious and cunning guy.

Even in the eyes of Butcher and others, Kevin is a very scary person.

But who would have thought that the channel Kevin used to obtain these information was not in this world at all.

Kevin did not explain, he pretended to smile mysteriously, as if everything was under control.

This look really fooled Butcher.

Butcher now had no idea what Kevin knew.

He stared at Kevin seriously for a long time, his expression serious, and after a long time he asked unwillingly:

"What do you know?"

"I know much more than you think, such as... your wife Rebecca was invaded by the motherland and then disappeared, such as you joined the CIA and worked with the lamplighter."

"Do you know where Becca is?"

When his wife Rebecca was mentioned, Butcher immediately lost his previous calmness.

He took two steps forward and asked excitedly, as if he wanted to know the whereabouts of his wife Rebecca Butcher from Kevin.

But unfortunately, Kevin gave a negative answer:

"I don't know where she is, or whether she is dead or alive, but I know how to deal with Homelander, so do you want to continue talking about your wife, or do you want to talk to me about Homelander?"

Kevin was not lying.

Kevin knew whether Rebecca Butcher and his son Ryan were alive.

He even knew that the two were living in an area guarded by the Vought Group.

But the problem was that Kevin didn't know where this area was.

He was not a senior executive yet, not even the captain of the Seven, so how could he know this news?

And even Homelander, the captain of the Seven, didn't he know about Rebecca and Ryan?

Although Homelander's situation was excusable...

Butcher was inevitably disappointed that he couldn't get news about his wife from Kevin.

But it has been like this for so many years, and Butcher quickly regained his composure and asked:

"How do you deal with Homelander?"

"It's interesting to mention this. Do you know Madeline Stillwell?"

Kevin finally talked about business and mentioned someone.

Butcher was a little surprised and nodded:

"I know, the vice president of the hero management department of the Water Group."

"That's good to know. Your breakthrough lies in Madeline. She has an extraordinary relationship with Homelander, just the 'extraordinary' you imagined. Once she has an accident, how will Homelander react? I don't need to say more, right?"

Kevin stopped there and didn't say more.

In fact, Homelander was not the purpose of Kevin's visit this time, but Madeline was.

Edgar said that the Water Group is not short of positions now, and there needs to be a vacancy so that Kevin can squeeze into the management of the Water Group.

In this case, Kevin will create a vacancy.

Madeline Stillwell, the former director of the Red River Welfare Home, later entered the Vought Group's senior management vision, was promoted by Edgar, transferred to the Vought Group headquarters, and gradually sat in the position of senior vice president of the hero management department.

As a woman, Madeline's experience is inspiring.

It can be said to be a model of a low-level person turning over and counterattacking.

But unfortunately, her future is probably only here.

Kevin wants to use Butcher's hand to get rid of her.

Anyway, Madeline is also a dying person in the original book, and Madeline did a lot of bad things for the Vought Group. Kevin has no psychological burden to use Butcher's hand to get rid of this competitor.

And then again, the person who really killed Madeline in the original book was actually Homelander, and the reason why Homelander killed Madeline was because he knew that Madeline was lying to him.

But now, Homelander doesn't know the truth about Butcher's wife Rebecca, let alone that he has a son, so he shouldn't really kill Madeline.

Even though Butcher wanted to deal with the Homelanders, he might not really want to kill Madeline.

Madeline might not die.

But whether Madeline died or not, as long as she was kidnapped by Butcher, it would be Kevin's chance.

"Madeline Stillwell..."

Butcher read the name.

Kevin gave him time to think, waited for a while, took out a small USB flash drive, and threw it to Butcher:

"I have put all the information about Madeline and her relationship with the Homelanders here. As for what you want to do, that's your business."

Butcher took the USB flash drive and repeatedly checked it as if to confirm whether there was a monitoring and positioning device on it. After checking it for a long time, he put it in his pocket.

"What do you want?"

After putting the USB flash drive away, Butcher asked the question he was more concerned about.

Kevin told them this, obviously it was impossible for him to simply help them deal with the Homelanders.

Butcher believed that Kevin had his own purpose, and it was this purpose that prompted Kevin to meet them.

Butcher wanted to know the purpose.

"You will know what I want when the time comes."

But Kevin did not answer, and he was not obliged to answer Butcher's question.

Kevin chuckled and ended the main topic, waving his hand to control the fishing boat to rise from the water.

The fishing boat floated on the sea again, and Kevin said to the two:

"Anyway, it does not conflict with your purpose. See you next time... By the way, remember to return the boat when the time comes, Mr. Butcher, Mr. Campbell."

After the voice fell, Kevin disappeared into the darkness again, and disappeared in front of Butcher and Huey.

...

The meeting with Butcher did not affect Kevin's real life.

The documentary was carried out as scheduled, and the film was re-filmed.

Occasionally, Kevin would go to Godokin University to meet with Indira and others. In addition to filming documentaries, he mainly went to the [Woods] to see the imprisoned children.

The Vought Group wants to use these children to find the weaknesses of superhumans, but Kevin thinks it is a bit too wasteful to do so.

These children are very capable. If they can be carefully trained, even if they cannot compete with the heroes in the Seven, they can at least be comparable to ordinary heroes.

These children can definitely beat heroes like Hawkshooter and Blindspot in the original book.

With the intention of using these children for his own use, Kevin tried to get along with them in a friendly manner, but with little success.

Kevin had beaten them before, leaving a big psychological shadow in their hearts, which made it difficult for Kevin to approach.

In addition, with Indira and Cardoza around, Kevin couldn't show it too obviously.

Although he is nominally the person in charge of [Forest], he is not responsible for the experiments, but only the security here.

Or he is just an insurance here. Once a superhuman gets out of control and the ultrasonic instrument that can work on superhumans fails, Kevin needs to come forward to deal with it.

Therefore, it is a long way to go to cultivate his own superhuman forces. Before that, Kevin still has to get a high position in the group.

However, putting these issues aside, Kevin did not gain anything else during the period of filming the documentary at Godokin University.

At least the number of skill points has been steadily increasing.

He got one on the day he met Black Robe Butcher. In the past few days, he stayed in the [Woods] and gained a skill point almost every two days.

Kevin guessed that this might be because of his relationship with "Sam".

So now, [Woods] has become another skill point generator for Kevin.

Since the day he met Butcher, Kevin's total skill points have become four points.

Kevin divided two of these four skill points and upgraded [Underwater Sprint] to level three, which was the prerequisite for the job change [Deep Sea Fighter].

After that, Kevin threw the remaining two points on [Super Cardiopulmonary] and upgraded it to level two.

Level one super cardiopulmonary is not very useful for Kevin.

But the second-level super heart and lungs gave Kevin extremely strong endurance.

This endurance even complements [Superhuman Physique], no wonder these two skills are on the same line.

Kevin has a hunch that if his super heart and lungs are also upgraded to LV5, his superhuman physique will probably be upgraded to another level.

Even now [Superhuman Physique] can no longer be upgraded.

That's right, after [Superhuman Physique] reaches level 5, there is no way to go further.

It's not that the level has been maxed out, but that the higher level has not been unlocked.

The skill tree reminds Kevin that he needs to change his job before he can unlock more advanced skills, which means that Kevin must change his job one day in the future.

Because if he doesn't change his job, he can't continue to improve himself.

"Kevin, you are here."

Kevin, who was standing in the corridor of Godokin University in his daily clothes and a baseball cap, suddenly heard someone calling him.

Turning his head, Kevin saw Indira.

She was standing not far away, with a blonde girl who was about 16 or 17 years old, greeting Kevin.

"Oh, Indira, are you... going to recruit new students in person?"

Looking at Indira and the blonde girl next to her, Kevin didn't think much and joked with a smile.

It is the end of the semester at Godokin University, and the next semester will be the time for the 20th freshman to enroll.

The blonde girl next to Indira doesn't look very old. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be a freshman in the next semester.

"I guess so."

Indira answered Kevin's question, and then suddenly said to Kevin:

"I have something to tell you. Let's go to the [woods] first."

"?"

Indira suddenly mentioned the [woods], which made Kevin frown.

He subconsciously looked at the girl next to Indira, his eyes wandered over her, and finally fell on the gloves on the girl's hands.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, uneasy face, wearing gloves.

In addition, Indira did not hesitate to mention the "Forest" in front of her, so Kevin guessed the identity of this beautiful blonde girl.

She should be one of the original protagonists of "V Generation", with abilities similar to Professor X, and can control others through physical contact.

Kate Dunlap.

Didn't expect that Indira had already met this weakened version of "Professor X" at this time?

I just don't know if the girl has taken the potion that can suppress her ability, and whether she can still hear other people's inner thoughts out of thin air.

If she can... I'm afraid I have to stay away from her.

Realizing the identity of the girl next to Indira, Kevin's eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought.
