Chapter 80 Face to Face

Madeline's funeral was held as scheduled a few days later.

Except for the invisible man, all seven members of the team were present. Homelander was responsible for delivering the eulogy, talking about Madeline's life, and his eyes became red as he spoke, looking extremely sad.

He was indeed very sad, extremely sad.

He didn't know about Rebecca's affairs, and didn't know that he had a son. Now Madeline was still his favorite person.

Madeline's death made Homelander very sad.

Especially the fact that the Water Group now turned Madeline's memorial service into a social dinner for celebrities from all sides made Homelander even more sad and angry.

But he couldn't do anything.

Because this is what the Water Group would do.

For the Water Group, there is nothing that can't make money.

Madeline worked so hard for the Water Group during her lifetime, so I think Madeline herself wouldn't mind using her funeral to sell some things and get some sponsorship after her death.

And it's not just Madeline. There will probably be another scene like this at the memorial service for the Invisible Man.

This is the Water Group, this is capital.

Because of this, Homelander didn't stay long at the funeral and left. No one knew where he went.

Kevin socialized with others at the funeral and accepted media interviews with Starlight.

The two are basically officially CP now, so they can walk together in public without any taboos.

Annie was very happy about this and was very energetic in building a network online and operating a common CP website.

The Water Group also took the opportunity to make a lot of money and sell peripheral products for the two.

Kevin and Annie also have a group of fans who are dedicated to them online.

It seems to be called... 'Starfish' fan group?

This name always gives Kevin the illusion that he has run to the SpongeBob Theater.

In short, because the two are CP, and Kevin is in the limelight now, the two have attracted most of the media's attention when Homelander is not here at the moment.

Kevin didn't like this kind of socializing, and Anne didn't like it either, but after seeing Kevin didn't like it, she took the initiative to help Kevin stop most of the reporters, so that Kevin had some free time.

After coming out of the reporters, Kevin was slightly relieved, but before he could rest for long, Edgar called him:

"Kevin, do you have time later?"

"Yes, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

After finding a secluded place to talk to Edgar, Kevin asked softly.

"There is indeed something you need to do. Madeline died unexpectedly now, and someone needs to take over her work. If you have time, go to Madeline's office now and sort out what she has been doing recently."

Edgar said on the other end of the phone, and Kevin was stunned:

"Sir, what do you mean..."

"I think I have made it very clear. Go and do what you should do, Kevin."

Edgar still spoke so concisely. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone neatly without giving Kevin a chance to ask again.

But there is no need to ask, and there is no need to ask. As Edgar himself said, he has made it very clear. Kevin only needs to go to Madeline's office to sort out her documents.

The goal of this period is temporarily achieved. Kevin is actually very happy in his heart, but he can't show too much happiness at the funeral social gathering.

After telling Xingguang that he was leaving for a while, and apologizing and saying goodbye to several business celebrities who were talking, Kevin left the venue with nostalgic "sadness" and ran to the Water Building.

Madeline's office is on the same floor as the meeting room of the Seven Team.

Kevin took the internal elevator of the Seven Team and came to the 99th floor. Just as he walked to Madeline's office, his hand was already on the door handle and was about to open the door.

But suddenly Kevin's action stopped again.

The sharp five senses brought by [Superhuman Physique] made Kevin aware that there was someone in the room.

"Oh, this is really..."

Listening to the movement inside, Kevin's expression was a little strange. After thinking for a moment, he chose to stay outside and did not go in to disturb.

After standing at the door for a long time, Kevin pushed the door open to enter after making sure that the meeting inside was over.

"!!"

Inside the room, Homelander hurriedly closed the refrigerator door and turned to look at the door.

Seeing Kevin coming in, his expression became extremely angry:

"Deep Sea? What are you doing here?"

"In fact, this is my question, Captain. If I remember correctly, you should be the host at Ms. Madeline's funeral? How..."

"Now I'm asking you!"

Before Kevin finished speaking, Homelander came to Kevin angrily.

He looked directly into Kevin's eyes, his pupils faintly revealing a red light, as if as long as Kevin had an answer that did not satisfy him, his heat vision would shoot out of his eyes and penetrate Kevin's head.

To be honest, the angry look of the Homelander is indeed scary. If it were the former Shen Hai, he would probably be frightened by the Homelander's appearance and speechless.

But Kevin, whose physique has been greatly improved, is not afraid of the Homelander here.

In addition, what the Homelander did in the room just now made Kevin want to laugh.

This guy is angry out of shame...

Kevin's heart is calm, and his smile is not diminished. He looks into the eyes of the Homelander and answers neither servilely nor arrogantly:

"It's Mr. Edgar. Let me sort out Ms. Madeline's work files."

"What?"

Hearing Edgar's name, the red light in the Homelander's eyes suddenly dissipated.

His eyes became extremely complicated at this moment.

There are doubts, confusion, and disbelief.

The Homelander took two steps back, staring at Kevin dully, and then pointed his finger at him:

"You? Edgar... let you come? Huh?"

The Homelander wanted to laugh, but he laughed twice but couldn't laugh.

Homelander simply doesn't want to elaborate on what kind of person Shenhai is.

In the past, before Starlight came, Shenhai was a loser at the bottom.

He was inferior, weak, and not smart. He always wanted to get along well with the other members of the Seven Team, but in the end he was always teased by everyone.

Locomotive once threw Shenhai's favorite fish into the toilet, and Homelander also deliberately gave Shenhai grilled squid at a dinner party.

Such a guy who could be bullied by anyone, but he changed into a different person on the day Starlight joined the company.

Actively participated in various activities, filmed new movies, and changed his image to make himself more handsome than Homelander.

His strength was also enhanced enough that Locomotive began to fear him.

Homelander didn't know if this was a change brought to Shenhai by love, but in his opinion, no matter how much Shenhai changed, he should not be favored by Edgar and take over Madeline's job.

There are so many senior executives in the Water Group, and there are as many people as possible who can replace Madeline.

At worst, can't he be the captain of the seven-man team?

Why is it the deep sea? How could it be the deep sea! ?

Homelander couldn't accept this fact. He took two steps forward and grabbed Kevin's collar, roaring:

"You are lying!!"

Snap——

Homelander's hand was pinched by Kevin's hand.

Feeling the strength from his hand, Homelander's angry expression was a little more stunned.

"Captain."

Kevin said, while slowly prying open Homelander's hand that was holding his collar, and said without flinching:

"Whether you are lying or not, you can just ask Mr. Edgar, and now... please don't disturb my work, okay?"

Kevin smiled, pried open Homelander's hand, and gently patted Homelander's shoulder.

In fact, Kevin's strength is not as great as Homelander's. If they really compete in strength, Kevin will undoubtedly fall behind.

But Homelander was distracted by Edgar's name, and secondly, he didn't expect Kevin to be so strong, so Kevin slowly opened his palm.

Sensing Kevin's strength, Homelander didn't continue to force Kevin. He looked at Kevin with an uncertain expression, and his mouth twitched slightly.

He raised his hand and pointed at Kevin, wanting to say something but gave up, and finally laughed in anger:

"Your job?

"Okay, very good, I'll go find Edgar right now, and if I find out you're lying, I'll cut off your head and throw it into the sea to feed your fish friends!"

"Please do it. "

Kevin's expression remained unchanged, and he made a gesture of invitation to Homelander to leave.

In the end, Homelander could not do anything to Kevin. He stormed out of the office angrily and went to find Edgar, leaving Kevin alone in the room.

Kevin did not take Homelander's threat seriously, and even just thought it was funny.

Because what Homelander said was just like a child saying "I want to find my dad" in anger.

How could Kevin be afraid of this?

After throwing away the aura of power and being able to treat Homelander with equal strength, Kevin once again deeply understood that Homelander was really just a big baby.

"And it's a baby who needs milk. "

After the Homelander left, Kevin opened the refrigerator and looked at the empty milk bottles in the refrigerator, and he was even more delighted.

Just now, Kevin chose to stay outside because he heard the sound of the Homelander drinking milk here.

The milk here is the "breast milk" prepared by Madeline for her son, which is original and has no additives.

The Homelander likes to drink this special "drink".

And it may be because after Madeline died, the Homelander knew that he would never drink it again, so he came here to find milk with sadness and nostalgia for Madeline.

Kevin was very considerate and did not choose to come in to find him when the Homelander was drinking milk, giving the Homelander time to finish drinking.

But the Homelander still treated him like this.

To be honest, Kevin was a little sad.

Of course, this was a joke.

After sending Homelander away, Kevin closed the refrigerator door and sat down behind Madeline's desk.

Although it was just a seat without any other things, Kevin still felt that something was different after sitting here.

Kevin knew that the different thing was called power.

He now had the power to dominate the Seven Team, and even more so the Homelander.

Although Kevin's strength on land was slightly inferior to Homelander, he now had the power to command Homelander.

"This is the rule..."

Kevin sighed while lying on the office chair.

No matter how powerful you are, as long as you are not really strong enough to become a god, strong enough to have no weaknesses, you will be restricted by the rules of the world.

Especially Homelander, who wants to seek more "love" within these rules, this is even more true.

"Suddenly I feel a little mean. Hmm, let's burn two more incense sticks for Madeleine tonight... No, this shouldn't be popular abroad?"

Sitting in a chair and turning around, Kevin thought about it.

After a while, he really started to sort out Madeleine's files and took out a very important file from it.

It was a bill about superheroes entering the Department of Defense.

With Madeleine's hard work, the number of congressmen who agreed is currently greater than the number of those who rejected it.

This bill has been confirmed to be implemented.

If there are no accidents.
