Reacted, Queen Maeve first let out a long breath of relief, followed by the foolish behavior of her fighting wits with herself making her burn with anger. She directly opened the car door, rushed out, and punched right toward the slightly smiling, handsome face.
"Clang!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Defense (Queen Maeve)!"
Queen Maeve was equivalent to a weakened version of Wonder Woman. Just like Jessica Jones and the Super Soldier, she was purely enhanced in physical stats without any other special abilities.
However, her defensive resistance was stronger than Jessica Jones's, especially superior when it came to puncture and cut wounds—Jessica Jones could not withstand bullets head-on.
Queen Maeve's fist drew closer and closer, and Su Quan's smile grew deeper and deeper.
Without dodging or parrying, he simply looked into Queen Maeve's anger-filled eyes and spoke a name.
"Elena."
The fist came to an abrupt halt!
Su Quan flicked her fist away with his finger, triumphantly raised his other hand, curled his fingers into a fist, and landed a slow strike onto Queen Maeve's charcoal-gray chest armor.
"Bang!"
Queen Maeve flew out like a fired cannonball, crashing heavily into the wall dozens of meters away.
The wall cracked and caved in, dust flying everywhere.

"Cough, cough—cough, cough—cough, cough, cough—" Supporting the ground with her hands in agony, Queen Maeve staggered to her feet and glared angrily at Su Quan with lingering fear.
"If you don't want to lose everything, don't say that name again!"
Looking at her warning gaze, Su Quan smiled. "Interesting, your eyes tell me that you're scared!"
"But what you're afraid of isn't that I'll hurt her or use her to threaten you, but that someone else will hear her name!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk—you're so pathetic!"
The name Elena itself had nothing particularly special about it; what was special was her identity—she was Queen Maeve's ex-girlfriend.
Yes, an ex-girlfriend!
That was why Queen Maeve didn't dare let people know about their relationship, because it would damage the persona and public image Vought International had arranged for her, and she especially didn't dare let Homelander know of Elena's existence.
Although her brief romantic relationship with Homelander had long since ended, given Homelander's arrogant, conceited, and self-centered personality, once he found out, he would definitely kill Elena, and might even kill Queen Maeve along with her.
A world-famous superhero with countless fans and supporters couldn't even protect her own ex-girlfriend; calling her pathetic, was there anything wrong with that?
No!
Not a single thing wrong with that!
"Pathetic? Hmph, when you face him, you'll know how small and ridiculous courage is in front of him—everyone will bow their heads to him, and you won't be an exception." Queen Maeve sneered in retort.
Homelander's strength was beyond doubt, and there was even less need to mention how terrifying a blackened Superman could be.
Queen Maeve feared him, the other members of The Seven feared him, and even the staff who served him feared him.
And they should fear him!
Homelander was actually the correct way to unlock Superman in real society; self-restraint like Clark Kent's, humbly willing to be a workhorse, was entirely wronging oneself to please others.
Su Quan agreed with Queen Maeve's statement. He indeed would bow his head to Homelander—when he—knelt down in front of him!
"Speak, what do you want." Queen Maeve accepted her defeat; she didn't dare risk Elena's safety.
Su Quan's mouth curved upward in a somewhat unruly, roguish smile. Originally, he had planned to blackmail Queen Maeve into notifying him in advance whenever the members of The Seven made a move, and then easily and low-key acquire their abilities by watching battle.
But now he changed his mind.
He really wanted to see what kind of expression Queen Maeve would have when she discovered that the peerless Demon God she thought was matchless was kneeling in front of him!
"You can contact Homelander, right?" This time, Su Quan didn't use a substitute reference like someone, but called him by his name directly.
Queen Maeve suddenly felt a strong sense of unease, gritting her teeth and roaring in a low voice, "No matter what you want or what you do, I agree. Fuck, stop making things more complicated!"
"Bang!"
Accompanied by the sound of her voice, the ceiling of the abandoned factory was suddenly smashed through by gravity. The Stars and Stripes fluttered, and after landing, Homelander brushed away the invisible dust on his shoulders, looking expressionlessly at Queen Maeve.
"The Invisible Man told me you were in trouble, but now—I want to know what this matter is that would become more complicated if I found out!"
Homelander's voice was like ice blades in the dead of winter, without a single ripple, making those who heard it shiver with cold. His sharp gaze seemed to hide thousands of years of ice and snow, devoid of the slightest trace of warmth.
Under Homelander's gaze, Queen Maeve felt even her heartbeat stop. The fear surging from the depths of her soul made her feel as though she could already see the violent scene of a rage-erupting Homelander killing Elena and killing herself—
She lowered her head and couldn't speak. Fear made her brain completely unable to function, and all she could think about was that Elena might be killed by Homelander because of her.
"She's not talking, you talk!" Homelander looked at Su Quan, his gaze filled with indifference—the kind of indifference where, in his eyes, you were nothing more than an ant.
"Narcissus doesn't bloom—what kind of big garlic are you putting on?" Su Quan retorted directly.
A terrified Queen Maeve snapped her head up, staring at Su Quan with wide, incredulous eyes.
This—this guy is crazy, right?
How could he dare talk to Homelander like that? Wasn't he afraid of death? Didn't he know what fear was?
Fortunately, Queen Maeve didn't ask it aloud, otherwise Su Quan definitely would have told her: the best way to eliminate fear is to face fear, ollie koo!
Queen Maeve hadn't expected Su Quan to be so daring, and neither had Homelander. The previously cold and indifferent eyes had gradually turned fiery crimson.
Heat Vision!
"I think you're courting death!" Homelander's gaze was very hot, but his tone was very cold—a pure combination of ice and fire.
Su Quan, who should have cooperated with the performance, let out a disdainful scoff without giving any face. "You think I should do this, you think I should do that. Why don't you just become me instead? What the hell do you think?!"
"Whoosh—"
Homelander's angry eyes stared wide, and the scorching red laser shot straight over in an almost instantaneous moment.
"Clang!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Heat Vision (Homelander)!"
The power of Homelander's heat vision was strong, yet not that strong!
It couldn't compare to Superman.
Against someone with high defense like the centenarian Stormfront, it would also end in failure.
Su Quan's defense wasn't low right now either; briefly withstanding Homelander's heat vision head-on should not have been a problem. If what he had just acquired was Homelander's super defense, he might have chosen to endure it directly.
As for now, of course he was going to give Homelander a surprise!
Dimensional Teleportation was instantly activated just as the heat vision was about to strike. The wall of the abandoned factory in front of Homelander was directly pierced through and collapsed with a crash—yet Su Quan had mysteriously vanished without a trace!
"Where is he?"
Homelander searched for Su Quan's figure in exasperation, but a somewhat familiar buzzing sound suddenly rang in his ear.
Homelander whipped around sharply, and what came into view was actually a pair of crimson pupils resembling those of a demon god.
This—this is my heat vision?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Before a shocked and stunned Homelander could react, he was struck by the incoming heat vision, stumbling back a few steps.
The heat vision didn't cause substantive damage to Homelander, but it completely drove the narrow-minded and petty Homelander berserk. He absolutely refused to allow a second person to possess the exact same ability as him!
"You're dead!"
With a face as cold as frost, Homelander looked at Su Quan, and his heat vision blasted out directly.
Su Quan released heat vision as well.
"Boom!"
Identical crimson rays collided together, and a sizzling burning sound rang out instantly, the light exceptionally dazzling.
For a moment, they were actually evenly matched!

Queen Maeve was dumbfounded, the dazzling light of the heat vision shining upon her shocked face, making her dumbfounded expression look somewhat comical.
Daring to provoke Homelander had already made her find it hard to believe, but she never imagined—this guy actually possessed the exact same ability as Homelander!
The Joker was me all along!
Looking at the two people who were evenly matched and hard to tell apart, Queen Maeve suddenly conceived a bold idea!
The power and teleportation ability this guy displayed were extremely powerful and bizarre. Coupled with the heat vision, he already possessed strength that didn't lose to Homelander.
