Chapter 627
But actually, he was looking for Homelander.
Homelander is the so-called BCL Red, that powerful weapon!
Yes, the Homelander's death was a complete lie.
As the captain of the "Payback Alliance" or "The Payback," he was first betrayed by his teammates, and then captured by the Soviets and subjected to extensive secret modifications.
It is now frozen in a Rose military-controlled area.
Homelander is a copy of Superman, Queen Maeve is a copy of Wonder Woman, A-Train is a copy of the Flash.
So...
The Homelander who was a national hero during World War II, with his iconic special shield, and who was nominally killed but actually frozen in ice—it's obvious who he is being compared to.
That's right, it's the famous Captain America!
After taking a jab at DC's superheroes, they've finally started targeting Marvel!
Nina took a drag of her cigarette, glanced at Su Quan thoughtfully again, and said with a half-smile, "It seems I misjudged him. This kind of thing isn't something ordinary people would inquire about, much less come directly to me."
"I'm starting to get interested in you, darling. Tell me, who exactly are you?"
Su Quan chuckled and said, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that I heard you recorded some videos of your customers. I think that's a good hobby, but the content is a bit heavy."
"Are the people from the Inner Court having fun in your urine?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, these people are really like toads, grass, and frogs—ugly on the outside, but they're good at all sorts of tricks!"
Nina's expression changed slightly amid Su Quan's teasing, but she quickly returned to normal.
Since the other party was able to investigate this trump card that he used to save his life, it means that he was 100% certain that he had a way to help him find BCL Red.
Nina shrugged noncommittally and said calmly, "If you want me to help you, you can, but you have to gain my trust first, and then we can talk about the price of my help."
Tell me about it.
Considering his good looks, Su Quan wouldn't mind doing a small favor if it was just a matter of personal kindness.
Generally speaking, women like bad men, and men like bad women, because being bad, to some extent, represents excitement.
It can satisfy some dark or unattainable desires.
Just like Nina in front of me, even if she doesn't do all sorts of bad things, she is still a treacherous and vicious snake-like woman!
Such a woman is like a flower on a high mountain; even knowing she's poisonous, she still makes men yearn for her.
"Kill her."
Nina flicked her finger, pointing it at the woman who had been whipped earlier.
"No, don't kill me, don't kill me."
"Sister Nina, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, I will pay you back the money."
Double!
"I'll pay you double!"
The woman begged hysterically, her once beautiful features contorted with fear, her dark eyes filled only with terror and pleading.
It was clear she was terrified, both of death and of Nina.
Since she was so afraid, she still dared to take the risk of embezzling Nina's goods. It can only be said that even if she were killed, it wouldn't be unjust at all.
Su Quan looked at the woman calmly and suddenly realized that her face, which was covered by messy makeup and hair, looked somewhat familiar.
What's your name?
"Sherry, my name is Sherry! Please don't kill me! I'll do anything you ask!"
"Please, please..."
Sherry looked at Su Quan pleadingly. She had overheard the conversation and knew that Su Quan had something on Nina, and that her life was now in his hands.
"It really was you..."
Su Quan had already felt that she looked somewhat familiar, and now the name matched up.
This Sherry is the beautiful woman who opened the door for Billy and Hughie when they went to find Frenchie after Billy and Hughie kidnapped the Translucent in the TV series.
Later, Frenchie joined the Boys Squad. With nowhere else to go, she returned to work for Nina and stole Nina's goods...
If Frenchie hadn't gotten her a fake passport to help her escape, she would have been dead.
Nina then approached Frenchie, and through a series of coincidences, made a deal with the Boys Squad.
The Boys Squad killed a wealthy man from the Bear Country for her, and in return, she helped the Boys contact an official who revealed the location of BCL Red to them.
Instead of finding BCL Red, they released the Homelander who had been frozen for many years.
Su Quan knew this plot, which is why he came to find Nina, and even used the same line Billy used in the TV series to get Nina to compromise, which was about the recording.
Only...
Frenchie has already joined the Boys Squad, and the Translucent is dead. According to the plot, Sherry should be with Frenchie.
Even if they separated, he shouldn't have come back to help Nina so quickly, and then gotten caught stealing goods.
In the TV series, when she was caught stealing goods, the Boys Squad had already joined the CIA and moved into the Flatiron Building. Billy and Hughie had both started injecting temporary Compound V.
Right now, the Translucent has just died, and the Boys Squad hasn't even confronted Homelander yet.
The timing doesn't match at all.
The only thing that matches up is the fact that Sherry was caught stealing goods, which can be considered solid proof of her reckless and self-destructive personality.
Su Quan looked at Sherry, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and then at Nina, who had a half-smile and an expectant look on her face. Suddenly, with lightning speed, he grabbed Sherry's neck and twisted it gently.
"Click!"
The crisp sound rang out, Sherry's head slumped down instantly, falling silent.
Nina's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes. It wasn't that Su Quan would choose to take action, but rather that she was surprised by how swift and decisive the action was.
Su Quan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the hidden camera in the corner, then chuckled and said, "Do you need me to make the process more complicated and clearer?"
Nina came to Sherry's side and examined her. After a moment, she smiled and shook her head, saying, "A person only has one life. Once you're dead, you're dead. There's no way to come back."
"Just find someone else." Su Quan stared at her dismissively. "Would you like to try my technique?"
Nina chuckled lightly, not taking the threat seriously. After all, she was forced to kill someone and left behind evidence, so it was normal for her to be a little emotional.
"Bang!"
Just as Nina was preparing to formally discuss the details of the transaction with Su Quan, the warehouse door was pushed open again.
The person who came in surprised both Su Quan and Nina.
"Celeste or Maddy?" Nina asked slowly with a smile, her tone very familiar.
"After knowing each other for so many years, you still can't tell me apart from Maddy."
Celeste, with blond hair and dressed in white, shook her head in feigned disappointment, then glanced casually at the corpses of Su Quan and Sherry.
Celeste, Superman with Mind Stone abilities, is one of the Multiple Man.
Su Quan never expected to meet Celeste here, in such a setting, and even more so, he never expected that she would recognize Nina, and seem quite familiar with her.
Upon seeing Celeste, Su Quan began to understand why Sherry's timeline and storyline differed from those in the TV series.
The butterfly effect, you know!
The butterflies flapping their wings are mostly people outside of the TV series, such as Celeste and Maddy.
PS: Correcting the time error in chapters 768 of the previous text.
The sentence, "In 1984, I lost something for some reason..."
The year 1984 should be corrected to 1980.
And then there's Homelander said, "I was born in 1985!"
Corrected to born in 1981.
Since the previous text cannot be edited, I can only mention it here for your information. Subsequent plot developments will be written according to the corrected timeline.
Su Quan recognized Celeste, and Celeste naturally recognized Su Quan as well.
After all, the face in front of her was exactly the same as the face in her memory.
He was the one who gave himself and Maddy a second life.
It was he who brought them into this world, allowing them to grow naturally so that they wouldn't look out of place among their sisters.
Over the long years, through leisurely times, she and Maddy adapted well to life in this world.
But their greatest hope is to return to Su Quan's side and reunite with their sisters.
Day after day, year after year, Su Quan finally arrived.
