Chapter 85 I Gave You a Chance

The communication with the Secretary of State did not waste much time.

The Secretary of State and Kevin reached an agreement on the handling of Compound No. 5.

Congress will choose to classify Compound No. 5 as confidential, and will also relax the mouth on the matter of superhumans joining the army.

After that, it only takes a banquet for Kevin to meet with the remaining congressmen, and the matter will be settled.

Compared with Madeline, the Secretary of State obviously gets along better with Kevin.

The reason is still on Flight 37.

A relative of a friend of the Secretary of State happened to be a member of that flight. Kevin saved him, which was equivalent to saving the Secretary of State’s friend.

This is the original words of the Secretary of State, but Kevin is not sure about the actual situation.

After all, the senior official did not tell Kevin the name of the survivor.

In short, Kevin did a very smooth job as vice president without any obstacles.

If the locomotive did not come to him in person at night.

"You are quite good at choosing the right time, locomotive."

Just after sending Annie away, Kevin, who was only wearing a bathrobe, was opening a bottle of red wine and drinking it slowly.

After making so much money, Kevin did not spend a penny, and would also put some things that looked more exquisite at home.

Like luxury cars and luxury wines, Kevin would also buy them.

At this moment, Kevin put a large wine rack at home, and the wine rack was full of various expensive red wines.

Although Kevin regretted it after buying it... After all, in his opinion, these red wines are really not very delicious, and he doesn't know why they are so expensive...

Maybe he doesn't enjoy it.

But the wine he bought must be drunk with tears, so sometimes Kevin would take out a bottle and drink a few sips.

But now, less than two sips later, the locomotive appeared in Kevin's room.

Although Kevin was a little surprised by the arrival of the locomotive, he was not surprised. He sat on the sofa with a wine glass in his hand, his legs on the coffee table in front of him, and looked at the locomotive in this comfortable posture:

"Why are you here so late?"

"Are you going to make me quit the Seven?"

The locomotive asked straight to the point.

When the locomotive asked the question, there was no fear of Kevin in his eyes. The anger of being expelled from the Seven by Kevin had overwhelmed his mind and made him forget what Kevin had done to him.

He only had this one thing in his eyes now, and wanted to know whether what the motherland said to him was true.

Kevin shook the red wine glass in his hand and sighed to the locomotive:

"It's true, locomotive, you are not suitable to stay in the Seven with a heart disease, you should retire early and go back to recuperate."

"Then...did you also spread the rumors on the Internet during this period?!"

The locomotive asked again.

It seems that he has learned a lot from the motherland.

"No, to be precise, it was not me who sent it up, it was the shock wave, and..." Kevin put down the red wine glass and looked at the locomotive with a smile:

"That's not a rumor, it's a fact. You did take compound No. 5 on the day of the competition. I can still confirm this."

"How could you do this to me!!!"

After confirming that what the motherland said was right and that Kevin did it all, the locomotive was furious.

He couldn't figure out where he had offended Kevin and why he did this to him.

Was it because he had thrown his favorite goldfish into the toilet that he deserved to be resentful for so long?

The locomotive was sad and angry.

In sharp contrast to the locomotive's out-of-control emotions, Kevin remained calm.

He slowly stood up and poured himself another glass of red wine, saying softly:

"No reason, Locomotive, you stand on the side of Homelander, and Homelander and I are not on good terms now, this is enough for me to deal with you."

"Just... just because of this?"

"Because this is not enough? Well, let's talk about something else?

"Privately injecting Compound No. 5 to kill someone, injecting Compound No. 5 in the arena to win the game in an unconventional way, and also got a heart attack because of it..."

Kevin said one by one,

"If any of these things are known by the Water Group, you will not be able to stay in the Seven.

"And now, I have given you time to retire, given you a whole year to perform in a loop, and even prepared a separate personal movie for you... I have done my best, you should thank me, Reggie."

Although Locomotive is Homelander's right-hand man, Kevin did not really use the worst means to deal with him.

Everything Kevin did was legal and compliant, and he also gave Locomotive preferential treatment for retirement.

Even Kevin himself did not receive such preferential treatment. Kevin felt that the locomotive should thank him.

"Thank you? You want to ruin my future and everything I have, and now you want me to thank you!?"

The locomotive became even more angry. He pointed at Kevin and shouted angrily.

Kevin even felt that he should have used his racial talent when he said this, just like rap.

Helplessly shaking his head, Kevin put down the wine glass and bottle, glanced at the fish tank beside him, and then turned to the locomotive:

"It's not me who ruined you, Reggie, it's you who ruined yourself."

"It's you! It's you who ruined me! It's also you who killed my girlfriend!! Why did you do this! Why!!"

"Girlfriend? Are you talking about the Claw Girl? No, Reggie, it wasn't me who killed her, you know better than anyone else."

Kevin knew that the locomotive's girlfriend was the Claw Girl.

Originally, he thought that if he had rescued Kimiko in advance, let the Claw Girl go abroad for asylum, was not threatened by the black robes, and did not tell the matter of Compound No. 5, the Homelander would spare the Claw Girl's life.

But the result was that the Claw Girl still died of "drug overdose", and the locomotive still chose to kill his girlfriend with his own hands.

So now the locomotive said that Kevin killed his girlfriend, Kevin just thought it was funny.

It was never Kevin who killed the demon girl, but the locomotive himself, and the people of his country who forced him.

It really had nothing to do with Kevin.

Kevin's words were not sharp, and even his voice was as plain as usual.

But it was these plain words that made the locomotive lose all his anger in an instant, like a deflated ball.

He looked sad, his eyes were red, and he whispered softly:

"...Yes, you are right, I killed her...I killed her..."

Faced with a poor man who killed his lover with his own hands, a man who was manipulated by his country like a puppet and had no idea what he was doing, Kevin also lost the idea of ​​doing anything to the locomotive.

He looked at the locomotive:

"Reggie, go back. I will pretend that nothing happened today. Tomorrow, you will still be a member of the Seven Team, and then slowly prepare for retirement. I will prepare a grand and perfect retirement ceremony for you, even more perfect than mine."

Kevin said, turning around to deal with the red wine on the table, preparing to put this expensive bottle of red wine back on the wine rack.

But the locomotive did not choose to leave. He listened to what Kevin said, and finally just shook his head and said to himself:

"I can't retire, I can't lose my identity in the Seven Team, Deep Sea... You can't let me retire!"

The locomotive looked at Kevin's back facing him, thinking of his fate after retirement, and anger surged in his heart again.

The time around him seemed to slow down, and even Kevin's movements became as slow as if they had slowed down by more than ten times.

The locomotive was ready to attack Kevin.

He knew he could do it, and hit Kevin at the highest speed. Even if Kevin's physical fitness was the same as that of his countrymen, he would definitely be severely injured if he was caught off guard.

And the locomotive didn't think Kevin would have the same physical strength as his countryman.

Taking a running posture, aiming behind Kevin, the locomotive suddenly stood up and rushed towards Kevin!

A short sound barrier sounded suddenly, but then there was a louder sound of falling heavily to the ground.

Bang! !

Kevin put the red wine away, leaned on the wine rack, and looked back at the locomotive behind him.

At this moment, the locomotive fell to the ground for some reason, and even the locomotive himself was stunned for a long time.

When he just started running, he felt as if something was dragging his feet...

The locomotive thought so and turned his head to look at his feet.

I saw several ropes woven by clear water, like underwater seaweed, tightly wrapped around his feet.

I don't know when Kevin was ready, condensing water into ropes, wrapping around the locomotive's feet, restraining his movements.

"What?! This...!"

The water rope trapped the locomotive, but this was not the end. The moment the locomotive found the rope, the water flow instantly split into countless branches and flew towards the locomotive's face in the air.

"...I gave you a chance, Reggie."

Kevin sighed regretfully.

"Wait, I--!"

The locomotive stretched out his hand to Kevin and wanted to say something, but in just a blink of an eye, the water flow was like a deadly tentacle, drilling into the locomotive's nasal cavity and blocking his throat.

It also blocked all the words he was about to ask for mercy.

"Mmm--!"

The locomotive struggled on the ground in pain.

In pain, his ability was activated from time to time, swinging in front of Kevin at a very high speed, as if moving non-stop like a ghost.

But he couldn't get out of Kevin's sight.

Because at some point, except for a small part of the water in the bathtub, all the remaining water flow was concentrated here, forming a thick water circle cage, trapping the locomotive in it.

Fortunately, Kevin's fish tank is very large, and there is more than one. The water used for manipulation is sufficient to create such a large water cage.

No matter how the locomotive runs, it will eventually hit the cage made of water.

He was like a fly trapped in the glass, only knowing how to bump around, but unable to find the exit.

The locomotive didn't struggle for long.

It was probably only one or two minutes. When Kevin removed the water prison, the locomotive was like a fish floundering on the shore, holding his heart and gasping for breath.

The water wrapped around the locomotive had long disappeared, part of it went into the locomotive's stomach, and part of it went into his lungs.

Kevin gently took out all the water that had entered his stomach and lungs, and controlled them to go into the kitchen sewer, then squatted next to the locomotive and looked at him:

"If you had just turned around and left, nothing would have happened."

"I...save...save me..."

The locomotive's breathing was like a worn-out hand-pulled bellows. He tried his best to breathe and try to calm his heartbeat, but to no avail.

He had a heart attack at this critical moment.

The black hand grabbed Kevin's bathrobe, and he was trying to let Kevin save himself.

But unfortunately, just like Kevin said before.

Kevin had already given him a chance.

Now it was impossible to give him a second chance.

However, in order to make Kevin feel better and to make the locomotive accept his fate, Kevin still said to the locomotive:

"When you hit that poor girl to death, did you ever think about apologizing to the victim's relatives? When you killed your girlfriend, did you ever think about refusing the orders of your countrymen and saving her?

"So when you came to me, why did you think I would save you? Reggie?"

The locomotive could no longer hear Kevin's words.

He was unable to let go of the hand holding Kevin's bathrobe, and his eyes rolled up and he completely lost consciousness.

Kevin stayed quietly beside him.

One minute, two minutes...until ten minutes passed, the locomotive's heartbeat gradually stopped, and Kevin took out his mobile phone and dialed the hospital's emergency number:

"Hello? Someone here has a heart attack, please send an ambulance, as soon as possible! "

After saying this, Kevin placed his hands on the locomotive's chest and gave him the most basic first aid.
