Chapter 80 One After Another Takes the Stage (10,000 words)
Standing outside the door was a Black man wearing a bespoke suit underneath a black overcoat, with very elegant manners.
This man was Stan Edgar, the president of the Water Group.
He was also the adoptive father of Congresswoman Newman!
"What brings you here?" Newman stepped aside to let Edgar into the house.
"Can't I just suddenly decide to give it a visit?" Edgar said with a smile, placing the brown paper bag on the table and heading towards the kitchen. "Freshly baked oat toast."
"You never do things on a whim." Newman closed the door and followed Edgar into the kitchen.
Edgar smiled, seemingly pleased that Newman knew him well: "I'd like you to investigate Homelander."
Upon hearing this, Newman's eyes widened immediately: "Are you kidding me? We can't track down Homelander; that's federal government policy."
Edgar looked relaxed: "Relax, this isn't really asking you to investigate, it's just a subtle reminder."
"After this mission with Crimson Dawn, he seems to have developed some naive ideas that he shouldn't have."
"He's testing my limits, so I need to teach him a lesson, just like parents discipline disobedient children."
Newman clearly disagreed with this statement: "Ordinary children are not like Homelanders, capable of leaving me a mangled corpse."
Edgar said confidently, "Relax, it's not that serious. You just need to issue a public statement strongly condemning him and then have the committee fine him."
"It's just a minor punishment, a reminder that he shouldn't go too far."
"Don't worry, the people of the motherland are still afraid of me. I will protect you and won't let you get hurt, just like before."
"Okay." Newman hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
Russia.
This is a vast country, and like the United States, superheroes can be found everywhere here.
Their images.
The only difference is that, even though it's the same person, in American propaganda they are synonymous with strength, bravery, handsomeness, and beauty.
But in Russia, they all became uniformly ferocious and terrifying, vicious and cruel, looking like monsters that wouldn't stop until they had eaten several people in one meal.
In search of clues about the weapon "BCLRED" that killed the soldier boy, Butcher and his group of five, with the help of a female mob boss who has connections with many oligarchs and politicians in Russia, enter Russia through special channels.
After completing a mission for that big sister, they obtained intelligence and found the location of the secret weapon.
"Shit! This is a military jurisdiction!" Breast milk burst out with profanity as soon as she saw the facilities here.
"Since it's a weapon, isn't it normal for it to be in a military-controlled area? Let's get to work!" Butcher said, putting on rubber gloves and slamming the crowbar down on the electrical box.
As the sophisticated instrument exploded in a burst of lightning and sparks, the lights in the entire military control zone went out instantly.
The group immediately tore open the barbed wire fence and filed in, sneaking into the base.
The breast milk, seizing its opportunity, grabbed a lone soldier: "If you cooperate obediently, we'll spare your life, understand? Now, lead the way!"
The soldier nodded eagerly to cooperate and led the group of five to the laboratory inside the base.
In the entire laboratory, besides the usual experimental instruments and documents, there was a very conspicuous huge metal sealed container with many pipes connected to it, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Against the wall, there are rows of sealed chambers with glass doors, which contain small experimental animals.
French saw a cute long-haired hamster in one of the sealed compartments and couldn't resist teasing it a couple of times.
Unexpectedly, the hamster, startled, began to float up into the air and kept bumping around in the sealed chamber, triggering an alarm.
"Shit! It's a super hamster! Why did you have to mess with it, damn it!" Breast Milk glared at Frenchie and cursed under her breath.
As the alarm sounded, a blinding red light immediately flashed throughout the laboratory.
At the same time, a series of rapid footsteps sounded outside the door, indicating that a large number of soldiers were approaching.
"Watch out!" Butcher shouted, drawing his pistol from his back waist.
The others also took cover behind cover and pulled out various weapons from their bags.
drop-
With a crisp click of the access control, a squad of fierce, fully armed soldiers rushed in, guns at the ready, and without a word, pulled the triggers.
Tap tap tap —
Amidst the intense gunfire, Kimiko rushed out first and took down one person, while the others also raised their guns to return fire.
However, even if they brought weapons, could they possibly outgun a squad of soldiers inside a military restricted area?
Even Kimiko, a superhuman who can heal her body at lightning speed, was quickly forced back.
Before long, Butcher, Breast Milk, French, and the others ran out of bullets in their guns.
As the soldiers closed in, and they were about to be mercilessly shot, Butcher suddenly stood up from his hiding place and shouted with a strong voice, "Oi!"
The soldiers didn't care what he wanted to say; as soon as he stepped forward, they raised their guns and opened fire.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight bullets hit Butcher.
However, with a wild smile on his face, he continued striding forward as if he felt nothing, as if the bullets had no effect on him at all.
This scene left almost everyone present stunned.
brush!
Soon, golden light shone in Butcher's eyes, and two lasers shot out, piercing straight through a soldier's chest.
Immediately, he turned his head and unleashed another golden laser, slicing the other one in half.
The bullets from those submachine guns hit him as if they were tickling him, doing absolutely no harm to him.
Butcher was like a god of war, slaughtering everyone in his path and causing bloodshed wherever he went.
Those who were far away from him were instantly killed by his laser eyes, while those who were close to him had their necks snapped by him.
He watched as the squad of soldiers who had rushed in was almost completely wiped out.
Just then, Hughie suddenly noticed that a soldier had somehow gotten behind the breast, without the breast noticing.
"Be careful!"
He yelled and suddenly flashed away, leaving his clothes, pants, shoes, and everything else behind him. He then moved naked behind the soldier who had circled around to ambush him, and threw a punch that sent a chill down the soldier's spine.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Hughie apologized loudly as he pulled his arm, which had pierced through the soldier's body, back out.
By this time, all the soldiers who had stormed into the laboratory had been wiped out.
Breast milk, French, and Kimiko were unaware of the temporary number five incident, and were naturally very surprised by it.
After giving a casual remark, Butcher told everyone not to forget the purpose of their visit and to hurry up and find their target.
He himself went to the sealed metal can, and with a little force, pulled down the top door.
Instantly, thick white gas billowed out like smoke.
When the gas dissipated, a man bound with restraints was seen inside.
The man was completely naked, with a thick beard covering half his face, as if he hadn't groomed himself in a long time.
Nevertheless, it is still clear that he is a fit, middle-aged white man.
Suddenly, the middle-aged white man, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, abruptly opened them. With a slight effort, he broke free of the restraints binding him and removed the mask from his face.
Butcher recognized the man almost immediately, his eyes widening in disbelief: "Soldier Boy?!"
The breast milk in the back even recognized who was in the metal can before Butcher did.
Many years ago, when he was a child, he witnessed a soldier boy lift a car and smash it into his house during a criminal arrest.
His grandfather died in the accident, but the soldier boy went unpunished.
From then on, the soldier boy became his nightmare, a shadow that lingered in his mind.
This also led to a complete reversal in the mother's attitude towards superheroes, who had previously idolized them as a child, turning her into someone who hated them.
Therefore, he recognized the soldier boy the moment he saw him.
At this moment, looking at the soldier boy who hadn't aged a bit over the years and was slowly walking out of the metal tank, he felt a wave of suffocation.
The shadow that had haunted him since childhood once again loomed over him.
The mother was breathing rapidly, her body covered in cold sweat, staring intently at the soldier boy who had stepped out of the metal can, completely motionless as if possessed by a nightmare.
The soldier boy slowly stepped out of the metal canister, glanced around at Butcher, Hughie, and the others present, then suddenly lowered his head, clenched his fists, and seemed to be gathering strength.
At the same time, a light suddenly shone from his chest.
The light grew brighter and brighter, becoming increasingly dazzling.
"ah-
—
The soldier boy suddenly roared and straightened his chest.
In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth, and a thick, blazing beam of light shot out from his chest, heading straight for French, who was standing against the wall.
Kimiko reacted quickly, running to French and shoving him aside.
She herself didn't have time to run away and was blasted away by the beam of light, smashing a large hole in the wall.
The soldier boy then stopped attacking and walked out through the broken wall as if no one else was there.
Frenchman disregarded everything else and rushed to Kimiko's side, only to find her lying on the ground with a steel bar piercing her abdomen and bleeding profusely.
"Why! Why haven't the wounds healed? Kimiko!" Seeing that her wounds were not healing as quickly as before, French panicked and shouted while holding Kimiko.
"Let's go, take her away! We need to get out of here quickly!" Butcher made the decision immediately without much thought.
Meanwhile, in New York, USA.
A press conference hosted by Congresswoman Victoria Newman, director of the Federal Bureau of Parahuman Affairs, is being held as scheduled.
-
Stan Edgar, president of the Water Group, was present at the press conference and watched Newman walk onto the stage with a smile, as if what she was about to announce had nothing to do with his own group.
Meanwhile, inside the Water Tower, Maeve, Starlight, Locomotive, Deepsea, and others were all gathered in the conference room, watching the live broadcast of the press conference on the big screen.
Just then, Homelander walked in from outside and seemed very surprised to see the Seven members gathered there: "You—"
Immediately, he saw the live broadcast on the big screen, and his face instantly darkened.
During the live broadcast, after introducing himself, Newman said with a serious expression, "Over the past period of time, the Federal Superhuman Affairs Administration has been cooperating with the Vought Corporation."
"However, we always adhere to one guiding principle: no one, no matter how powerful, is above the law."
She paused briefly, glanced at the numerous cameras, and slowly said, "Homelander—"
Newman took a deep breath, as if gathering his courage: "Homelander, as the whistleblower, bravely stepped forward to provide evidence exposing the crimes committed by Vought Corporation CEO Stan Edgar!"
Upon hearing this, Edgar's expression immediately changed, and the countless cameras of varying lengths in the room turned to him amidst the uproar.
"Over the next few days, the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs will be investigating Mr. Edgar on multiple charges, including extortion, perjury, and obstruction of justice —"
Newman was still speaking on stage, but Edgar had lost all interest in listening.
He took off his glasses and slowly closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, in the conference room of the Water Tower, there was also an uproar.
Everyone turned to look at Homelander in disbelief, only to see that the gloomy and terrifying expression on his face had completely vanished.
Instead, he wore a smug smile, as if all of this was exactly what he had expected.
"What did you do?!" Maeve asked, her face full of disbelief and her voice filled with shock.
"I just did what I've always been supposed to do." Homelander wore a "everything is under control" smile. "Vought is a superhero company; it belongs to us, not to Edgar, an ordinary guy."
"So now, I've corrected that mistake, that's all."
He looked at Maeve and Starlight with smug satisfaction, his eyes revealing no trace of the pride of a victor.
"Now, Walter will enter a new era. Let's cheer, everyone!" Homelander tossed his Stars and Stripes cape and walked out of the meeting room, his smile almost overflowing.
Meanwhile, at the press conference.
Edgar quickly sorted out the series of events and immediately called Li Yuan.
However, the call did not go through.
Li Yuan did not reply to either phone calls or messages.
Edgar then sent an inquiry to Defense Secretary Robert Singer, who replied that "Red Dawn is leading a super soldier squad in closed, secret training, and no one can contact them."
At this point, Edgar realized that he could only rely on himself from now on.
After the press conference ended, Edgar ignored all attempts to stop him, forced his way to Newman, looked her straight in the eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why?"
Newman looked at him without flinching: "Over the years, you haven't protected me; on the contrary, I've been protecting you."
"And now, I want to protect my daughter."
Edgar wanted to say something, but he was forcibly taken away by the people next to him.
Newman watched his retreating figure, his eyes glistening with tears, but he didn't say anything more. After the press conference, he went straight home.
At that moment, the balcony door was wide open, and Homelander was sitting on the sofa with a big smile on his face.
"Here, this is what you wanted." As Newman approached, Homelander tossed him a black cloth bag.
Newman opened the bag, glanced inside, and nodded expressionlessly: "Thank you."
Homelander waved his hand: "You're welcome."
After saying that, he got up and walked out onto the balcony, as if he was about to leave.
Just then, he suddenly turned to Newman and smiled with satisfaction: "I'm glad you made the right choice."
The next moment, he shot straight into the sky and disappeared.
Inside a secret military base.
In a single barracks, Li Yuan sat at his desk, casually glanced at the news on his phone about Stan Edgar's charges and the messages Edgar had sent him, and then tossed the phone aside without a second thought.
He then opened his laptop on the table and began filtering through a list of information on the screen.
If those super soldiers were here right now, they would be surprised to find that they are all on this list.
And this list contains many other names.
If they could see the filtering criteria for the list, they would find that one of the criteria is "active duty soldier".
The other condition is "injecting compound five but not exhibiting superpowers".
That's right, the super soldiers Li Yuan chose were all injected with Compound V during infancy, but also—
People who haven't awakened superpowers.
They were chosen to receive temporary injection No. 5 in order to observe the corresponding reactions.
It's important to know that while Temporary Compound 5 is modified from the regular Compound 5, injecting it into the same person doesn't necessarily produce the same superpowers.
At this moment, Li Yuan is studying the relevant data.
Next, he would control the variables and select soldiers who had never been injected with the regular compound 5, and inject them with the temporary compound 5.
By comparing these two, specific data can be obtained.
Because the temporary No. 5 vaccine is not yet fully developed, each soldier can only be injected a maximum of two times; any more than that would affect their health.
Therefore, Li Yuan must select a sufficient number of candidates.
After doing all this, he opened a folder on his computer desktop and zoomed in on one of the photos.
The photo shows eight people in total; it is a group photo of the Blood Debt Repayment Squad.
Then he zoomed in on the rest of the photos in the folder, filling the entire screen.
These photos are the latest close-up shots of every member of the Blood Debt Repayment Squad.
Of course, there's no insectoid character in it, since he died in 1984.
There was no soldier boy there either, since he had been kept in a Russian laboratory.
Aside from the two of them, photos of the other six people surround the enlarged group photo.
As you can see, the contrast is quite obvious.
Gunpowder is the one that has aged the most noticeably. The boy who was just a teenager back then has now become an old man.
The changes were slightly less significant for Countess Crimson and Mindstorm.
A comparison reveals that although they look much older now than in the group photo, they don't look 40 years older.
He doesn't look 20 years old, but rather about 20 years older.
The remaining twin siblings, Xuanse and Dynamite, have changed the least, appearing to have aged only about 10 years.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan turned off the group photo and the other photos, leaving only close-up photos of the black-clad and explosive twin siblings on the screen.
"Let's choose these three. They're barely worth studying. The rest can be left to the soldier boy." He murmured to himself after making the decision.
Currently, only Storm and Soldier Boy are known to have been injected with the original compound 5, possess the ability of "immortality," and have lived to this era.
The others, whether it was Godotkin, Black, or the Dynamite Twins, were all injected with a modified version of Compound V.
These improved compounds, after countless iterations and continuous research at the Wharton Laboratory, finally became the clear blue ordinary compound 5.
The effects of "immortality" varied among those who received the modified version of Compound V, due to differences in individual constitution and the specific version of the injected drug.
Storm and Soldier Boy are essential if you want to decipher the true original compound five formula.
However, with only the two of them, the sample size is still too small.
Therefore, Li Yuan could only select suitable targets from those who had been injected with the modified compound No. 5 to increase the sample size and strive to complete the corresponding research through data accumulation.
"Next, we're missing a soldier boy."
"However, he's not only useful in this one way—"
After Butcher and his group returned to New York, French immediately took Kimiko to the hospital for treatment.
Not long after, news reports showed a video of a soldier boy firing a chest cannon and blowing through a building.
After seeing the news, Butcher, Hughie, and Breast Milk deduced from the location where the soldier boy appeared that he had gone to see "Legend," the former vice president of the Vought Heroes division.
The mother also had a connection with the legend. After a friendly conversation with him, the legend revealed the possible whereabouts of the soldier boy.
Based on this information, the three of them went ahead to the house of the soldier boy's former girlfriend, Countess Crimson.
Ignoring her ongoing $19.5-a-minute live stream, they forcibly tied her up and used her as bait, waiting for the soldier boy to take the bait.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off; their efforts were not in vain, and the soldier boy really did arrive!
To prevent the breast milk, which harbored resentment towards the soldier boy, from ruining the plan, Butcher and Hughie administered anesthesia first—
The medicine knocked him out.
When the soldier boy approached and saw Butcher, he clearly remembered him: "You're that guy from the lab?"
Butcher grinned crookedly: "That's right, I'm the one who rescued you, and now, I've prepared a gift for you."
"You want to settle your score with Countess Crimson, right? She's inside now, at your disposal. You can take this as my sincerity."
"What sincerity?" the soldier boy scoffed.
"Of course it's—the sincerity of cooperation." Butcher smiled wickedly and then stepped aside.
Not long after the soldier boy entered the house, a beam of light suddenly shot out from it, destroying the entire house to pieces.
Watching the soldier boy slowly emerge from the ruins, Butcher grinned crookedly. "Now, can you tell me about the cooperation?"
The soldier boy glanced at him sideways, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
A huge weight lifted from Butcher's heart, and she slowly said, "You want revenge against the other members who paid for their blood debts, don't you?"
"Now, we've taken care of the gunpowder for you, and we've just presented you with the Crimson Countess like a carefully wrapped Christmas present."
"Next, when you seek revenge on others, we can help you with that too. Trust me, we are experts at dealing with superhuman villains."
"And my only request is to add one more name to your revenge list."
Upon hearing this, the soldier boy understood the purpose of the person in front of him.
He thought for a moment, then asked, "Who do you want to kill?"
"Homelander," Butcher stated his goal directly and decisively.
The soldier boy pondered, "I saw his picture on the way here. Who is he?"
Butcher uttered the lines he had already prepared: "He's just another completely new you, the one Walter used to replace you."
The soldier boy curled his lip in disdain and shook his head, saying, "No one can replace me."
Then he asked, "Why did you want to kill him?"
Butcher was quite frank: "You're not the only one in this world who wants revenge."
The soldier boy stared at Butcher for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Alright, I agree."
"If you help me find the remaining members of the team who paid for the blood debt, I will help you get rid of this Homelander."
Butcher and Hughie exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.
"Looks like we've reached an agreement." Butcher gestured with his hand. "Then come with us. Let's find a place to rest first, and then I'll gather intelligence for you."
Inside the Water Tower.
Looking at the surveillance footage near the Crimson Countess's house, and seeing the figure in battle armor walk past, everyone present was stunned.
"A soldier boy? How is that possible?"
"Didn't he die forty years ago?"
"Could it be someone impersonating someone?"
Ashley, Deep Sea, and Locomotive each said something, clearly none of them believed that this was a real soldier boy.
At this moment, the Homelander, whose eyesight far surpassed that of others, was somewhat stunned.
With his keen eye, he naturally wouldn't miss any details.
He was certain that this was a genuine, unadulterated soldier boy!
Although he was very unwilling to believe this fact, he could not doubt his own eyes.
Turning to look at Xuanse standing to the side, although he remained silent, the man could read his emotions.
At this moment, Xuan Se's entire body was tense, clearly extremely nervous.
This further confirmed Homelander's judgment: the person in the surveillance footage was indeed the Soldier Boy!
Homelander was extremely frustrated at this moment. He had just driven Edgar away, and Li Yuan was not at the company either, and he didn't know when he would return.
He was enjoying the feeling of having absolute power, so how could he let the soldier boy cause trouble at this critical moment?
Taking a deep breath and pondering for a moment, Homelander ordered, "Delete this video. Find him, and I'll handle it!"
Ashley, Deep Sea, and Train immediately complied and got to work.
Xuanse, without wasting a second, immediately stepped into the elevator.
Ignoring the other people in the elevator, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his left arm, leaving a bloody wound.
After reaching inside with his other hand and groping around for a while, he pulled out a locator and handed it directly to the terrified woman beside him.
He then left the Water Tower.
Meanwhile, Homelander quickly received the news and was filled with disbelief: "Blackie ran away?"
"Yes, Homelander, this is the locator inside his body." Deepsea, who came to report, handed over the locator, which was placed in a transparent sealed bag.
Homelander's face immediately turned ashen. Disbelief, sadness, and unease combined to create a violently trembling expression on his face, as if he were about to shatter.
Click—
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly crushed the black locator in his hand, his face turning extremely gloomy.
He slowly raised his head, staring coldly into the deep sea, his voice colder than the North and South Poles combined: "Find him at all costs!"
"Uh—who did you find? Black or Soldier Boy?" Looking at Homelander's face, which looked like he was about to explode and kill someone at any moment, Deep Sea swallowed and asked cautiously.
"————" The people of the motherland were speechless, wishing they could tear the deep sea in front of them apart right now.
He took another deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and growled, "I want them all! Both the black-clad ones and the soldier boy ones! I want them all!"
Upon hearing Homelander's chilling voice, Deepsea swallowed back the question he had originally intended to ask, "Which one is the main focus?"
Then, he quickly patted his chest and said, "Yes, my countryman, I'll get on it right away!"
Before the words were even finished, the person had already run off in a flash.
Li Yuan left the military base alone, without anyone noticing.
Although he lives in a remote mountain area, he is not completely unaware of what is happening outside.
You could even say he knows far too much!
The organization he recruited from Alastair Adana was not only large in number, but also contained a wide variety of professionals.
Every day, Li Yuan receives a wealth of the latest intelligence.
For example—a black ornament.
Although he took out the locator from his body and ran away from the Water Building, his whereabouts were still under Li Yuan's control.
It could even be said that from the moment he left the Water Building, he never left the sights of Li Yuan's spies.
Now that he had decided to use the black-clad twins and the explosives for research, Li Yuan naturally couldn't let them be killed so easily.
The dynamite twins are easy to deal with. Their combat strength is not strong to begin with, and coupled with their years of comfortable life, even without Li Yuan, they could be easily taken down by sending his men.
But Xuanse is different. This superhuman, hidden within the Seven, specializes in doing all sorts of dirty work for the Vought Group. He has extensive combat experience and is not easily defeated.
If he hadn't proactively cut off support from Walter this time, it wouldn't have been easy for Li Yuan's men to track him down.
Therefore, Li Yuan decided to arrest him personally.
As for what to do after they're caught, it's simple: just put them in jail.
Previously, Li Yuan had easily dealt with the Tyke Knights by eliminating Alastair Adana, and had taken over a large number of prisons owned by his family.
Now, it's perfect for temporarily detaining these people.
Inside the Water Tower.
Deep Sea mustered its courage and approached the people of the motherland, but it was still trembling with fear, as if it dared not speak.
-
Homelander stood by the window with his hands behind his back, waiting for a long time without hearing a word. Finally, he lost his patience, turned around abruptly, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Who did you find? Speak up!"
Deepsea shuddered and quickly said, "Uh—Homelander, I tried my best, I worked harder than Ashley and A-Train, but—"
"But—Xuan Se is a ninja, he's too good at hiding, without a locator, it's like he's vanished."
O
"Soldier boy—he, he must have had helpers, that's why I couldn't find him."
Seeing that Homelander's face was getting darker and his eyes were getting better, as if the laser eyes would sweep over him at any moment, Deep Sea quickly continued, "Of course, there's also good news."
"My team analyzed the soldier boy's behavior and speculated that he might be seeking revenge against his former teammates one by one."
"Therefore, as long as we lure him with the promise of the Blood Debt Repayment Squad, we'll definitely be able to capture him!"
Hearing this, the man's expression finally softened.
He took a deep breath: "So, where are they all?"
Shen Hai's expression changed: "I...I'll go investigate right away, right away!"
After saying that, he turned to run away, but Homelander's shout of "Wait!" froze him in place.
"Find them, and tell me right away!" Homelander slowly walked behind Deepsea, then suddenly reached out and patted him on the neck and shoulder. "This time, don't mess it up again."
Although the voice of the Homelander seemed calm, Deep Sea felt goosebumps all over his body, as if every pore of his body was being chilled to the bone.
"Yes, yes, my countrymen, I will definitely do it." After stammering out these words, Deepsea fled the place as if his life depended on it, without looking back.
the other side.
The soldier boy was eating a hamburger he hadn't had in decades while drinking a strong liquor he hadn't had in decades.
The television was playing footage he had filmed years ago, and as he watched, he boasted to Hughie about his experiences: "Back then, I led the 116th Infantry Regiment to land on Omaha Beach—"
Just then, Butcher pushed the door open and entered. As soon as he came in, he gave the soldier boy a wicked smile: "We're going to Vermont. I found out that the Bomb Twins are there."
Upon hearing this, the soldier boy immediately stood up eagerly!
After the three finished packing, they sped off to the address in Vermont that Butcher had found.
However, the place is now deserted.
After inquiring, I learned that the Bomb Twins were indeed here, but they had suddenly disappeared not long ago.
"Fuck!" Butcher cursed angrily upon hearing this.
"The Dynamite Twins aren't here, Black is at the Vought Building, and what about Mindstorm?" Hughie asked.
After glancing at the soldier boy, Butcher said with absolute confidence, "Don't worry, I will find him."
Deepsea also received news of the disappearance of the Dynamite Twins, which made him too afraid to see Homelander.
Fortunately, after mobilizing all of Vought's intelligence network and spending a considerable amount of time, he finally located the location where Mind Storm was hiding.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, I found Homelander and reported the situation. Without a word, Homelander flew straight to Mindstorm's home.
Meanwhile, Butcher and his group, with the intelligence provided by the legend, also located the psychic storm.
Moreover, the two sides arrived at almost the same time!
Just as Soldier Boy had caught Psychic Storm and was about to kill him, Homelander arrived at the scene.
Upon seeing this, he shot out a laser eye without saying a word.
The experienced soldier boy sensed something was wrong and immediately jumped back, dodging the laser that was falling from the sky.
The already disoriented Mindstorm was not so lucky; Homelander's laser struck its neck, killing it instantly.
As Homelander, dressed in a dark blue bodysuit and wearing a Stars and Stripes cape, slowly descended from the sky, the soldier boy paid him no heed. After giving Homelander a disdainful look, he coldly said, "You killed my prey."
"Oh, you're welcome. I was just worried that you're getting old and your hands and feet aren't as nimble as you used to be, which would damage your reputation." Homelander forced a sneer.
Hearing such provocation, the soldier boy scoffed, "What, you've seen me at my peak?"
The muscles on the father's face twitched, as if he were recalling something: "I grew up watching your heroic deeds. I've watched all your movies hundreds of times. You were the only person in the world I thought was as strong as me."
"The soldier boy curled his lip in disdain: "What, you think you're so strong? You're just a cheap imitation, dressed in a fancy cape."
A chill gradually crept into the Homelander's eyes, and his sneer deepened as he shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm the upgraded version."
boom!
The next moment, Homelander suddenly flew towards the soldier boy, grabbed him by the neck, and pushed him back several meters.
Despite the attack that could be deduced from the metal pillar, the soldier boy did not seem to have much difficulty with it.
With a flick of his wrist, he delivered a powerful uppercut to Homelander's chin, deflecting the red laser beam shooting from Homelander's eyes and sending it hurtling into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, he threw a right hook, which landed hard on the face of the man again.
The Homelanders, not to be outdone, also retaliated with a punch.
Just then, someone else suddenly arrived!
