Chapter 9 Was It Photographed?

But Ashley only dared to yell at Deepsea, Starlight or Locomotive.

Deepsea used to bully the weak and fear the strong, and he couldn't hold his head up when facing people with slightly higher status. Starlight was a newcomer and had the image of a good girl, so Ashley had no pressure to preach to her.

Locomotive...

He was black.

Yeah.

Of course, the staff of the Water Group are not fools, and they will not put discrimination and differential treatment in front of them.

But the fact is that the attitudes of the group's senior management are different when facing the members of the Seven Team.

At least Ashley didn't dare to talk to Homelander and Queen Maeve like this.

After slightly hinting that Ashley would have a future of "hair loss", Kevin walked into the elevator and prepared to go to Madeline's office to talk to her.

But as soon as he entered the elevator, Kevin found that there was another person in the elevator.

It was Starlight.

For some reason, the little girl looked at Kevin with a slightly admiring look and said inexplicably:

"Deep Sea, I support you."

"?"

Kevin didn't understand at first, and while pressing the elevator button for the 99th floor, he responded subconsciously:

"Thank you?"

When the elevator door closed, Kevin reacted: "Wait, did you hear my conversation with Ashley?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but... the door was not closed tightly so..."

"I see, it's okay, it's not a big deal anyway."

As the elevator went up, Kevin leaned on the handrail of the elevator with an indifferent attitude.

Xingguang, on the other hand, became interested and asked curiously:

"So you left work early yesterday, actually to better fight criminals? Did you really kill more than a dozen gangsters? Did they have guns in their hands?"

"..."

Wait a minute, was Xingguang so lively in my impression?

Looking at Xingguang who suddenly became a chatterbox, Kevin was full of question marks.

But it's not something that can't be said anyway, Kevin answered casually:

"Not so many, barely enough for ten people, there are guns, but guns have no effect on me, and... I didn't get off work yesterday to fight criminals, I just ran into this incident by chance."

"I understand, oh, it seems that the floor has arrived, I'll go out first, and we'll talk later."

Xingguang left the elevator with a smile of "I understand".

Looking at her back, Kevin's mouth twitched twice.

You understand Jill!

Looking at Xingguang's expression, Kevin knew that she must have misunderstood something!

I hate this kind of guy who is inexplicably self-centered!

Kevin rolled his eyes at Xingguang's back, but he didn't step forward to stop her and explain to others.

The more you talk about this kind of thing, the more mistakes you make, and if you rush over to stop Xingguang, it will be easy for others to misunderstand you.

Doing nothing is the right choice. After a long time, Xingguang will know what kind of person Kevin is.

Ignoring the episode with Starlight, Kevin walked slowly towards Madeline's office.

Madeline's office is also located on the 99th floor, not far from the conference room.

Occasionally, you can see Homelander standing next to Madeline's office, staring at his huge photo in a trance.

Others thought Homelander was admiring him, but Kevin, who knew the original work, knew that this guy was actually using his perspective eyes to observe Madeline in the office.

Tsk, this Homelander with a serious Oedipus complex is hopeless.

But Kevin didn't see Homelander today, maybe because it wasn't his time to go to work yet.

Or maybe he was doing some activities.

It's best not to see Homelander. To be honest, Kevin is a little afraid of this guy.

Not only because of the fear of Homelander in Deep Sea's heart, but also because Homelander is really hard to deal with.

More importantly, Kevin's current strength is not as good as Homelander.

At this time, you should be timid, otherwise Kevin wouldn't have killed people on the ship yesterday.

Standing at the door of Madeline's office, Kevin knocked on the door.

In the room, Madeline was watching some videos on the computer. When she saw Kevin coming, she paused the video and looked Kevin up and down, as if she knew him for the first time.

"Boss? What's wrong? I heard Ashley say you were looking for me?"

The boss didn't speak, so Kevin had no choice but to ask first.

Madeline looked at Kevin deeply, and then turned the laptop on the table around, with the screen facing Kevin.

"Watch it yourself."

"?"

Kevin was puzzled.

Madeline played the video to the end, and then Kevin understood what Madeline meant.

The location in the video was a police station.

It was the police station Kevin had been to yesterday.

The guy who filmed the video was hiding in some corner, and he filmed the scene of the superhero entering the police station and then being taken away by the company.

During this period, he did not explain, perhaps because of the quality of the mobile phone and the noisy surroundings, he did not record what Shen Hai and other police officers said.

There was only such a messy picture.

Seeing this, Kevin understood something.

Sure enough, Madeline said slowly:

"If the public relations department had not been prepared, then this morning, you would have seen news headlines such as "Superhero Shen Hai was arrested by the police" on the headlines of major news..."

'If'...

It seems that this matter was handled by the public relations department.

Kevin understood the deep meaning of Madeline's words.

He thought for a while, acting a little nervous, and asked:

"Then...then this matter..."

"The public relations department has already handled it. What do you think of news headlines such as "Deep Sea Fights Crime Late at Night"? "

"Oh, thank God."

Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.

In the modern society where network information is extremely developed, sometimes a little thing can be taken out of context and turn a good thing into a bad thing.

Shenhai is also a public figure, a member of the Seven, a superhero and a superstar. Many eyes are watching him. If the Water Group does not help to deal with it, this incident will easily be taken advantage of by others and Shenhai will be ruined.

This may be a bit alarmist, but it is true, and Kevin's relaxation now is not false.

"So, Shenhai, what are you thinking about recently? Do you want to change your image?"

Madeline did not mean to let Kevin go. She continued to question Kevin and asked Kevin about his thoughts.

Kevin was indeed not right in the past two days. Yesterday, he shaved his beard and almost made a fool of himself in front of the shareholders' meeting. In the evening, he played a crime-fighting game without the company's arrangement.

The Shenhai in Madeline's memory is not the kind of guy who will take the initiative to find things for himself.

He is timid and cowardly, as if anyone can bully him.

Although he is a superhero, all the "good things" he did were under the guidance of the company. He never did these things without the camera.

Madeline had no objection to this. The company chose Shenhai to be a member of the Seven, not because Shenhai was so responsible or because of his superpowers.

It was just because the Seven needed to be diversified and needed a superhero like Shenhai who had made achievements in the ocean field, that's all.

Therefore, Shenhai's character has always been an "environmentalist", and his strength is not worth writing about.

But last night, Shenhai killed more than a dozen gang members in one breath.

While doing good things, he actually showed extraordinary superpowers.

This is not normal at all, at least for Shenhai's previous personality, this is not normal.

Madeline felt that she needed to talk to Shenhai, no matter what Shenhai was doing now or his new superpowers.

They all needed to have a good talk.
