Chapter 625

Homelander grinned coldly, his expression saying, "You can fool me all you want; if I believed you, I'd be a complete idiot."

"In 1984, I lost something for some reason, you know, it was you, uh, you before you even took shape."

"Later I was forced to go to another place, a place that was isolated from the world and could only be entered but not left. Many people called it hell."

"I went through many hardships and tribulations there, and finally I gained a powerful strength."

"This power is called the Void Force."

"That's not the point. The point is that I came back and found that time has passed, things have changed, and everything I was familiar with is gone."

"Until I found you!"

"You possess immense power, just like me. Most importantly, you have the same signature ability as me, and it's unique to our family: the Heat Vision!"

Homelander twitched his lips, wanting to say that Heat Vision prove nothing, but so far, apart from himself and Su Quan, it seems that no one else really possesses this ability.

Also, the timeframe Su Quan mentioned, 1984...

I was born in 1985!

The same ability, the same coincidental timing—even the Homelander, who had been absolutely convinced, began to waver.

"This, this doesn't prove anything. You're Asian, I'm Caucasian, our bloodlines are different!"

"I am indeed of Asian descent, but you, who were bred based on my bloodline, are not necessarily of Asian descent, after all..."

"After all what?"

Upon seeing Su Quan, who seemed hesitant to speak, Homelander pressed him for an answer.

Su Quan said, feigning reluctance, "Besides my bloodline, there is also other people's bloodline in your genes."

Homelander frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

"If my information is correct, you've heard of this person too, the first hero of the Vought International, the strongest man during World War II — Homelander."

Homelander's head buzzed for a moment. He had indeed heard of Homelander, and not only had he heard of him, but Homelander was also his idol.

So...

Is the Homelander my father?

Or, my mother?

Or perhaps, one of my two fathers?

"Where's the evidence? I need evidence!"

Although some Homelander have been misled, they are not so easily fooled as to believe such an absurd thing based on just a few words.

Su Quan shook his head and said, "I am still investigating the substantive evidence, but I have clear corroborating evidence."

"First, the Homelander died not long after I left, and his body disappeared!"

"You know how strong he is. Vought International can't accept the death of their strongest superhero. They will definitely use Homelander's body and genes to gain as much benefit as possible."

"For example... you!"

"Secondly, the Homelander doesn't have Heat Vision, but I do, you have them, and your son does too!"

Homelander retorted, "I don't have a son, you can't prove that at all!"

Su Quan looked at him with a half-smile, "How do you know you don't have a son?"

Homelander was about to say, "Don't I know whether I have a son or not?"

Seeing Su Quan's ambiguous smile and playful gaze, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to say anything.

He inexplicably had an absurd idea, as absurd as if Su Quan were his own Dad.

"I... I have a son? I mean, I have a son, as far as I know?" Homelander blurted out, as if possessed.

Su Quan nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes, you have a son."

"A son you don't know about, but who has the same abilities as you and our family!"

"Impossible... This is impossible... If I really had a son, how could I not know about something so important?"

"Su Quan, you can't fool me!"

"Call me Dad." Su Quan snapped, then sneered, "Do you even remember a woman named Becca?"

"Becca ..." Homelander frowned instinctively, hesitated for a few seconds, and shook his head, saying, "I don't remember."

Billy: Are you fucking polite?

Su Quan was also somewhat annoyed; Homelander was indeed a piece of trash.

"Becca ... Oh, I remember now, I did have a relationship with her once, and then she never showed up again."

Suddenly remembering something, the Homelander asked nervously, "You mean that time, she... she got pregnant with my child and gave birth to it?"

"Um."

"Really?"

Where is she?

Where is my son?

The Homelander stood up excitedly and couldn't help but bombard Su Quan with a barrage of questions.

"Ask, ask, ask, ask!"

"I'm your father! All you do is ask questions!"

Su Quan cursed irritably, then sighed with a strange expression, "Damn it, I really am your father!"

"Fine, I can only tell you that my grandson's name is Ryan. You can investigate the rest yourself."

"Ryan ..."

"I'll go check right away!"

The Homelander did not object to Su Quan's self-designation, nor did they find it as offensive as before.

Perhaps her mind was focused on her son, or perhaps she accepted it with skepticism and ambivalence.

Su Quan was just trying to fool people on a whim. Even if he failed, he wouldn't lose anything. He could just treat it as a way to vent his frustrations and pretend to be an ancestor.

As it turns out... it seems that the Homelander have really been fooled by themselves.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, Homelander would never believe such a ridiculous thing.

However, he was first driven to a mental breakdown by Su Quan's words, and then misled by Su Quan's half-truths.

Why do we say it's half true and half false?

Because the events of 1984, Homelander, and genetic engineering are all true. Homelander is indeed the father of Homelander, and Homelander was bred using Homelander's genes.

Su Quan didn't even make any changes; he simply added himself to the list and then blurred the lines between primary and secondary information.

The most truthful lies are often nine parts truth and one part falsehood... cough cough, nine parts truth and one part falsehood.

Nine parts truth, one part falsehood, blurring the lines between primary and secondary information, it's understandable that Homelander might be fooled.

Of course, if that were all, the Homelander wouldn't believe it so easily.

The problem is that there are two other important points.

One is an active point, and the other is a passive point.

The key point is that Su Quan defined the Heat Vision as a family ability, since currently only Su Quan and Homelander possess this ability, which inherently creates a connection.

If Homelander confirms that Ryan is his son, and Ryan does indeed possess Heat Vision, then the preconceived notion will lead to a derivation formula.

A unique Heat Vision is equivalent to a family ability; possessing Heat Vision is equivalent to being part of the family.

If Ryan, who possesses Heat Vision, is Homelander's son, then Su Quan, who also possesses Heat Vision, is Homelander's Dad.

Is there something wrong with it?

No problem!

The logic is very clear.

What is the passive point?

Su Quan's strength!

Su Quan is too strong, so strong that he makes the Homelander despair, so strong that he can kill Homelander with ease.

Therefore, in the minds of the Homelander, Su Quan, who could easily kill them, had no reason to deceive them with such a ridiculous lie!

His previous denial was simply because the matter itself was too absurd and ridiculous.

Therefore, when Su Quan presents a reason that can prove his innocence, he will only doubt the authenticity of the reason, and will not think that Su Quan is deliberately lying for a bad taste or to take advantage of him.

All of these reasons combined ultimately led to the Homelander being completely misled!

Su Quan felt no guilt or remorse for tricking the Homelander into calling Dad.

To reiterate, compared to what Su Quan did for others, his actions were nothing but a drop in the ocean, a mere trifle.

Moreover, Su Quan can be considered to have integrated into this world and adapted to local customs!
