Chapter 83 Reasons for Selection

But the opinions of the motherland were nothing in Edgar's eyes and had no effect at all.

Facing the furious motherland, Edgar was very calm:

"This is the unanimous opinion of all shareholders. The result has been determined. Your opinion is not important."

"But why is it him!?"

The motherland was unwilling.

Kevin smiled and said:

"Captain, you say that as if I am not qualified to sit in this position."

"Shut up! You don't need to speak here!"

The motherland ordered Kevin to shut up.

If it were usual, Kevin would be willing to give the motherland some face, but Edgar was here at the moment, and Kevin, who had been promoted, could not back down in front of the motherland.

Therefore, after the motherland just finished the order, Kevin quickly said:

"I am now the vice president appointed by Mr. Edgar himself, so it is obvious that, motherland, I have the right to speak."

Now Kevin no longer even calls him "Captain", but directly calls the title of the motherland.

In the angry state of the motherland, openly provoke him

Such a brave act that could be said to be reckless made those who knew Homelander's character sweat for Kevin.

Seeing this scene, the locomotive simply lowered his head and stared at the pattern on the table, as if there was something beautiful inside.

Although Maeve was surprised at Kevin's boldness, her eyes never left Kevin. Her eyes flickered slightly when she looked at Kevin, as if she was thinking about something.

Anne, who was beside Kevin, looked at Kevin worriedly.

She knew from Kevin how strong Homelander was and what kind of character Homelander had. She was afraid that this difficult "captain" would attack Kevin.

After all, Kevin hadn't told her how powerful he was now, so it was normal for Anne to feel worried.

The atmosphere in the conference room was instantly tense to the extreme, and the scene was just like the prelude to a big battle in a movie.

Even if the two of them fought in the next second, no one would think there was anything wrong.

Kevin's increasingly presumptuous address really made Homelander more angry.

Regardless of Edgar still being here, he questioned Kevin:

"You threatened me with Edgar's name!?"

"If you feel good about thinking so, you can think so."

"So you mean, am I afraid of you? Deep Sea!"

"I never said that, and I don't think you are really afraid of me."

Facing the approach of the Homelander, Kevin slowly stood up and faced him:

"It's just that I don't quite understand. You seem to have a big opinion about me becoming the vice president? Why? It's obviously just a personnel appointment."

Kevin asked knowingly.

Of course he knew why the Homelander had an opinion about him.

It was because he had the power to threaten him, and the loser who had never been optimistic about before suddenly became the manager standing above him, which made the Homelander very unhappy, so he refused.

But Kevin wanted the Homelander to say it himself.

Say it in front of everyone, so that people can fully realize what kind of person the Homelander is.

It's just a pity that even though Homelander was so angry, he still had some rationality:

"You are a member of the Seven-Man Team! How can a member of the Seven-Man Team become our manager! I am the captain!!"

This sentence is a bit familiar... Should I say "You will regret it" to match it?

Kevin couldn't help complaining in his heart when listening to what Homelander said.

But fortunately, Kevin knew what to say and what not to say.

He didn't really COS the super-English version of Naruto and Danzo to have a famous dialogue, but smiled calmly at Homelander:

"So you are worried about this? Then don't worry, I will quit the Seven-Man Team."

"...?"

Hearing this news, Homelander's originally angry expression froze, and confusion appeared in his blue eyes.

Kevin continued:

"You are right. The position of member of the Seven and the position of vice president conflict with each other. I cannot be both vice president and a member of the Seven, so I can only withdraw from the Seven.

"In the next few months, I will issue a statement and retirement performance, and officially withdraw from the Seven. So...are you satisfied? Homelander?"

Becoming vice president means Kevin can no longer stay in the Seven.

The reason is not because of power conflict, but because Kevin really does not have so much time to do both jobs.

Compared with the vice president, the work of the Seven is actually not much less. Every day, there are a lot of messy things such as filming, interviews, commercial performances, and endorsements.

If I continue to stay in the Seven, I will definitely not be able to do the work of the vice president well.

And I have never seen any artist who successfully transformed into a boss and still took on various activities and participated in various programs every day.

At most, I would make a few movies to show that I still exist.

Kevin also planned to do this, so he definitely couldn't stay in the Seven, which didn't matter.

"You... quit? But this... how is it possible? Your movie..."

Homelander still couldn't believe it.

Kevin still had many activities in the Seven that had not been completed, and there were still movies and documentaries to be filmed. How could he just quit?

Kevin was ready to explain:

"My movie is the last movie of my superhero career. I will make a good farewell in this movie."

"..."

Hearing Kevin say this, Homelander was speechless.

He had never thought that Kevin would quit the Seven, so now Kevin released this heavy news, instantly blocking Homelander's words.

Even the anger gradually subsided.

Homelander didn't speak, and the meeting room suddenly became extremely quiet.

Edgar waited for a while, and seeing that Homelander still didn't respond, he slowly said:

"It seems that you should have no objection? Then it's decided."

Homelander didn't have any objection, so how dare others have any objection?

After Edgar's announcement, he did not stay any longer and stood up to leave. He had more things to deal with and could not stay here forever.

After Edgar left, the atmosphere in the conference room became very strange.

Homelander stared at Kevin without saying a word, his expression was extremely gloomy, and he exuded an unbearable pressure all over his body, making people around him dare not even breathe loudly.

But Kevin ignored his expression and went straight into work:

"Okay, do what you should do now. For the next few days, continue with the schedule arranged by Ms. Madeline. After everyone's schedule is adjusted, I will arrange new work for you."

After speaking, Kevin blinked at Annie and continued:

"That's it for now. I'll go back to the office first. If there is anything, let Ashley notify me as before."

Kevin spoke to everyone very seriously, and then took Ashley, who has now become his assistant, out of the meeting room of the seven-member team.

As soon as he walked out of the meeting room, a loud bang came from inside.

The noise was loud, clanging, like something was broken.

Ashley was startled, but Kevin did not stop, just told Ashley:

"Change the conference room to a better table later."

"Uh... OK, sir!"

...

After returning to Madeline's office, Kevin's first thing was to change his hero uniform.

From today on, Kevin no longer had to wear this ugly hero uniform every day. He looked like a cross-dressing weirdo, very weird.

Kevin prefers a more casual outfit, which is easy to wear and not burdensome.

Including the suits prepared now, they are all casual types, not particularly tight, and very convenient to change.

In Madeline's office, Kevin entered the working state and officially handled the work left by Madeline.

The work of the vice president of the British management department is not complicated. In most cases, he only needs to formulate a general strategy, and other things will naturally be completed by his subordinates.

Only extremely important things need to be handled by him personally.

For example, the meeting with the Secretary of State that was scheduled today.

Because of the super criminal incident yesterday, Homelander searched for Compound No. 5 from the factory in the area where the super criminal was located.

What Kevin has to do is to convince the Secretary of State that Compound No. 5 is not from the Water Group, but someone stole the formula of Compound No. 5 and developed it on their own.

As for why Compound No. 5 leaked out.

Maybe Madeline would know? Kevin doesn't know anyway.

Kevin will tell the Secretary of State this when the time comes, and this is what Edgar meant.

Knock, knock, knock.

Kevin was working in the office, and soon heard someone knocking on the door. Kevin didn't even raise his head:

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and surprisingly, it was not Starlight who came to see Kevin, but Maeve.

After Maeve came in, Kevin looked up at Maeve and said in surprise:

"You should have a documentary to shoot later? Why did you come to me?"

"How did you do it?"

Meve asked directly as soon as she came in.

Kevin was puzzled:

"How did you do it?"

"It's...it's the vice president. How could Edgar let another superhuman stand on Homelander's head?"

Maeve and Homelander are members of the same seven-member team. The two joined the team at a similar time. She stayed in the seven-member team for a long time, so she knew Edgar very well.

Although she didn't know about Compound No. 5, nor the darkness of the Vought Group, she knew very well that Edgar didn't like them, the superhumans.

This can be seen from the fact that Edgar rarely met with them.

But Kevin managed to carve out a path and became the vice president after Madeline?

And he suppressed Homelander?

Maeve felt that she must not have woken up today, which was why she had such an outrageous hallucination.

"Maybe Edgar thinks highly of me?"

Kevin responded half-jokingly.

Maeve had a look of "are you kidding me".

Seeing that Maeve didn't laugh, Kevin shook his head in boredom and said:

"The reason is very simple, because now only I can suppress Homelander, no one else can."

"You?"

"Yes, it's me. Before this, Homelander listened to Madeline very much, and Madeline used "love" to influence him. I am not as great as Madeline, and it is impossible for me to like a man, so I can only use force and power to make him obedient.

"Others can't withstand Homelander's "revenge", only I can, this is why Edgar chose me. ”

The British Management Department is now a very important department of the Water Group.

Before Madeline was still there, he could use the love of the Homelander to make the Homelander obey him.

But after Madeline's death, Edgar couldn't find another guy who had management skills and loved the Homelander to make the Homelander obedient.

Kevin entered Edgar's sight at this time.

At this moment, even if he was not as strong as the Homelander, at least he didn't have to worry about the Homelander causing trouble for him. Even if he really ordered the Homelander to make the Homelander angry, Kevin could at least save his life.

But if it were someone else.

Either he would obey the Homelander and become the Homelander's lackey.

Or he would be found dead at home the next day, and the super criminals would have another charge.

There is no other possibility.

So it's not how Kevin did it, but that at this stage Edgar can only choose Kevin.

Not even Storm.
