Chapter 87 Why Didn't You Say so Earlier?

"You guys are smart this time. You chose a place in the wilderness for the meeting."

Driving to a faraway wilderness, Kevin said to Butcher with amusement while looking at the dusty wilderness.

Butcher sat on a rock, still wearing black clothes and robes, and looked up at Kevin:

"Now that you know you have the ability to control water, wouldn't it be stupid to choose the place on the sea?"

"That's true."

Kevin nodded.

The last time Butcher chose the place on the sea, firstly, the view on the sea is wide, if Kevin really notified the Water Group to go there, they would be able to see it at a glance.

Second, they never thought that Kevin could actually control the water flow, instead of the exaggerated propaganda of the Water Group.

So the last meeting was disastrous for Butcher and his friends.

This time Butcher was prepared and found a place to meet in the wilderness in advance, so he didn't have to worry that Kevin would use his ability to control water to show his "miracle" in front of them again.

"Okay, stop talking about those useless nonsense. You have used us to gain so many things, power, status, you have it all. Now it's time to tell me where Becca is, right?"

Boucher didn't want to talk to Kevin about anything else, so he asked directly about his wife's news.

Kevin looked at the black van not far away, where the other members of the black robes were sitting. They didn't come over, and only let Butcher come to see Kevin.

Kevin withdrew his eyes from the other black robe teams and said with a smile:

"I thought you would be even more angry."

"What do you mean?"

"The incident of Compound No. 5 failed to bring down the Water Group, but instead gave the group the opportunity to negotiate with Congress. Even the people of the motherland did not suffer any losses. You actually have reason to be angry, Butcher."

The Black Robe Team did so many things to deal with the Water Group that it would not be an exaggeration to say that they had their heads on their belts.

As a result, after all the fuss, the final result was this.

It would be strange if Butcher and the others were not angry.

But now Butcher didn't tell Kevin about this, but paid more attention to his wife Becca.

"Oh, you're talking about this."

Butcher shook his head, jumped off the rock, and faced Kevin:

"Indeed, we were fooled by you and didn't get the results we wanted. We are very angry, but is it useful to be angry? Or do you think it's normal if I cry and scold you like a child crying for milk?"

As Butcher said, he took a few steps towards Kevin and got closer to him. The two faced each other at a very close distance and continued:

"And even if we are really angry and furious, what are you going to do? Arrest all of us here?"

"How can that be? We are partners."

Kevin responded with a smile.

Butcher also smiled:

"Then please tell us what we want to know now, partner."

It's a bit inappropriate for Butcher to refer to himself as "we".

To be more precise, it should be "I".

Only Butcher wanted to know Becca's location. The members of the other teams were gathered together to deal with the Water Group.

But there was no way, because Butcher was their captain.

At this point, they had no one to trust except Butcher.

Kevin had already taken Rebecca Butcher's position not long after taking over Madeline's position.

Facing Butcher's request at this moment, Kevin gave Butcher the address where Rebecca was now without much hesitation.

"This is her current address, but my advice is that if it is not necessary, you'd better not go to see her."

"Don't worry about it, Mr. Vice President."

After taking the address, Butcher didn't want to continue chatting with Kevin, so he turned around and left.

Kevin stopped him:

"She has a child, the Homelander's, and the Water Group values ​​her child very much, and is trying to give the child a warm and normal growth environment, so that he can become a completely different person from the Homelander.

"So, the place where she is is very heavily guarded. To put it bluntly, if you go there now, it's tantamount to committing suicide."

The location where Rebecca and her son Ryan are located is more hidden than Kevin imagined.

The Water Group has created a very large special area for Rebecca and Ryan, where there are pleasant scenery and various facilities for their convenience.

It was only after Kevin knew their situation that he realized that the Water Group wanted to conduct experimental observations on Ryan, the Homelander's biological son.

They wanted to give Ryan a seemingly normal environment and give Ryan a "motherly love" that the Homelander never had, in order to experiment whether Ryan could grow up to be the same as the Homelander in the end.

The Homelander was not a successful experimental subject for the Water Group. Maybe it was before, but it is definitely not now.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why they turned their attention to Ryan.

And because of this, it is impossible for the black robe group to sneak to see Ryan.

This is different from the original book. In the original book, because the Homelander had discovered Rebecca and Ryan, the Water Group knew that it could not stop them and relaxed its surveillance of the mother and son. Rebecca was secretly taken away by Butcher halfway.

But now, the Homelander does not know the existence of the two, and the Water Group is still closely monitoring the two.

The difficulty of meeting the two can be imagined.

Kevin's voice was not loud, but Butcher heard it clearly.

He stopped and suddenly turned his head to Kevin and asked:

"What do you want?"

"Hmm?"

"What do you want from us? You want us to be your white gloves and continue to help you eliminate the "enemies" in the Water Group, so that you can climb higher and higher, so you will help us?"

Butcher pointed at Kevin and asked.

Kevin's concern for the Black Robe Team was just a weasel's greeting to the chicken in the New Year in Butcher's eyes. He never believed that a superhuman would care about this group of criminals for no reason.

Butcher would rather believe that Kevin wanted to continue to use them.

Use them to do things that Kevin himself was not convenient to do and were not allowed to see the light.

And it must be said that...

Butcher guessed right.

"You are right." Kevin admitted generously, "I need a team that can continue to target the Water Group. In my opinion, you are the most suitable."

"Haha, what did I hear? The new vice president of the Water Group actually wants to deal with the Water Group personally? This joke is really funny."

"Normally, this is indeed a joke, but Butcher, I am serious."

Kevin's expression did not change, his attitude was serious and sincere.

The smile on Butcher's face slowly faded, and he met Kevin's eyes for a while before saying:

"You have no reason to target the Vought Group."

"Yes, of course. You know, I'm a superhuman, and the Vought Group's attitude towards superhumans has always been "monitoring", "mastering" and "controlling". Superhumans are just assets in their hands, and it is rare for superhumans to enter the group's top management."

"But you did it."

"That's because of Homelander. Do you think, besides me, which other vice president can appease Homelander?"

Kevin spoke frankly in front of Butcher:

"Using superhumans to fight superhumans is the real idea of ​​the Vought Group, and once Homelander is really If I continue, then there is no doubt that my future will end here. "

"The reason sounds reasonable, so what is your idea? Replace all the senior executives of the Water Group with superhumans?"

"No, I don't have such a great idea, and I'm not so... racist. I just want to get more benefits. On this basis, we can continue to cooperate."

Kevin expressed his thoughts:

"No matter what the final result is, at least in this process, our goals are temporarily consistent."

Although Edgar made Kevin the vice president, Kevin understood from his contact with the senior executives of the group in the past few days that they still had no intention of letting superhumans enter the senior executives of the group.

Kevin is just a vanguard to deal with the Homelanders. He can't have the treatment of working on the 82nd floor like Madeline.

And if there is no accident, there will never be.

Kevin doesn't want to just keep this position and be the vice president for life, so while improving his strength, Kevin also wants the Black Robe Team to help him deal with the Water Group.

One is to attack outside, and the other is to slowly take over the Water Group from the inside.

In the end, the old Water Group died, and the new Water Group belonging to Kevin was reborn. This was Kevin's idea.

Anyway, we all want to make money, so why not make the biggest one?

And in the process of controlling the Water Group, we might be able to gain a lot of skill points.

Butcher talked to Kevin for a long time, and in the end he didn't agree to anything. He took the address Kevin gave him and left with the black robes.

But Kevin knew that Butcher would definitely contact him in the future.

As long as Butcher still wanted to continue to deal with the Water Group and wanted to bring down this behemoth, he would definitely need Kevin.

Kevin could also continue to gain skill points through Butcher's line.

The communication with Butcher didn't waste much time.

After driving back to the Water Building, Kevin began to prepare for the relevant matters of the job transfer.

All the things that should be done during this period have been done, Kevin has a lot of free time, and the reserve of skill points is enough. Kevin wants to take advantage of this period to complete the job transfer as soon as possible so that his strength can rise to a higher level.

Kevin felt that once his strength improved again, he would be stronger than his countryman.

By then, he would be the strongest superhuman in the world, and he would no longer have to worry about anyone dealing with him.

Moreover, after the job change, [Superhuman] became [Deep Sea Fighter]. Kevin was no longer a superhuman. The means used by this world to deal with superhumans probably would not work on him anymore.

"Okay, get ready, job change - start!"

After finding a quiet room at home and informing Annie and others not to disturb him, Kevin could not wait to start the job change.

That's right, Kevin finally chose to change his job to a deep sea fighter. After all, physical fitness is the most important thing at any time.

As soon as you hear the name of the fighter, you know that the body is very powerful and very good. Maybe you can really improve your physical fitness to that of a superman.

After getting ready, Kevin clicked on the job change page with expectation and trepidation, and confirmed the job change.

But after clicking OK, Kevin saw another prompt pop up on the job change page.

——Job change cannot be made after job change, and job change tasks cannot be changed in the middle. Please confirm whether to change the job to [Deep Sea Fighter]

[Confirm][Negative].

"Of course I am sure!"

-During the job transfer, due to the different time flow rates between the main world and the task world, the main world time slowing function can be enabled to pause the main world time. It takes three skill points to enable this function. Do you want to enable it?

"..."

Seeing this prompt, Kevin was stunned.

No... So your skill tree can also pause the main world time during the job transfer?

Why didn't you say so earlier!

If you had said so earlier, wouldn't I have changed my job earlier? !

When Kevin knew that the skill tree had the time pause function, he suddenly felt that he was like a fool for being so busy during this period just to make up enough time for the job transfer.
