Chapter 631

No rush.

Su Quan turned and waved to Ashley Barrett, then grabbed her shoulder and, while she looked bewildered and apprehensive, began to instruct Homelander.

"Homelander, you are very powerful. You can do whatever you want, so it's okay for you to be cruel and ruthless to your enemies!"

"But she is your assistant, one of your own, someone who helps you deal with troubles and clean up the mess."

"Perhaps in your eyes she's just a useless piece of trash, but remember, she's your person, and she's doing things for you!"

"A true man should be as ruthless as winter to his enemies, but as warm as spring to his own people."

"Only in this way will they truly admire you, follow you, and always be of one mind with you and support you forever!"

"If even your own people are afraid of you, dread you, and are always on edge when they face you, wishing they could stay as far away from you as possible, do you think you can gain their heartfelt support and recognition?"

"Homelander, you must follow the path of the King's Path, not the Tyrant's Path!"

Ashley Barrett was deeply moved by Su Quan's words, her eyes sparkling.

Although Homelander disagreed somewhat, Ashley Barrett's reaction made him think that Su Quan might be right.

"What is the King's Path? What is the Tyrant's Path?" Homelander asked.

"The King's Path is this: you don't have to listen to me, but if you do, I'll give you benefits!"

"Being Tyrant's Path means—you must listen to me, or I'll deal with you!"

"If you follow the King's Path, no matter where you go, everyone will make way for you, and no matter what you want to do, everyone will follow behind you!"

"If you take the path of Tyrant's Path, once you lose the power to intimidate everyone, they will turn around and tear you apart. If someone stronger than you appears, they will support him to eliminate you!"

"I think you've already experienced this kind of anxiety and worry."

The Homelander couldn't help but nod; he had indeed experienced that feeling before.

When Su Quan first appeared, he broke Su Quan's invincible golden body, and ever since then, Su Quan has been living in a state of fear and anxiety.

He panicked.

He was scared.

Because he lacked a sense of security, he was constantly worried that Su Quan would suddenly appear and that everyone would discover that he was not the strongest.

People will also become disappointed in themselves and stop accepting themselves!

Why are Homelander afraid of cyberbullying and a drop in their approval ratings?

Would he even be willing to become Joker in the eyes of others just to boost his approval ratings?

Because what he craves most deep down is recognition, to the point of being pathological!

"Homelander, apologize to her," Su Quan said to Homelander with expectation and encouragement.

Apologize?

To make one's own Homelander apologize to oneself?

Ashley Barrett was shocked and quickly shook her head and waved her hands. "No, no need to apologize, it was indeed my fault for speaking without thinking!"

Homelander looked at her, then glanced at Su Quan, and said in an unnatural, low voice, "I'm sorry."

Oh my god, Homelander actually apologized!

Ashley Barrett felt like she had exploded; she had no idea how to describe how she felt.

The Homelander may compromise, or they may bow their heads.

But an apology?

Absolutely impossible!

Good heavens, I must be the first person to make my Homelander apologize, right?

Ashley Barrett looked at Su Quan with a mixture of excitement and panic. "What... what should I say now?"

Su Quan smiled and said, "Say what you want to say."

Ashley Barrett nodded repeatedly, took a deep breath, and said to Homelander, "Sir, no, Homelander, you are the best, I will always support you!"

Homelander was initially embarrassed by the apology, smiled slightly upon hearing her words.

This feeling seems... not bad?

"You... Ashley, you can go out now," Homelander said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll go out now. Oh, by the way, I didn't hear anything!"

Ashley Barrett made a zipping motion near her mouth, then quickly turned and left.

Watching Ashley Barrett leave, Su Quan couldn't help but admire this assistant who wasn't particularly pretty and often acted obsequiously and flatteringly.

She really knows how to lick, and she's very perceptive.

Whether it's saying "You're the best, I'll always support you" or "I didn't hear anything," it's all nonsense!

It wasn't from the heart at all, or to put it another way, she was genuinely trying to please her Homelander!

Can a simple apology really change her long-held resentment?

Stop talking nonsense!

She wasn't that naive, and neither was Su Quan.

They simply don't believe that childish tricks like "I'm sorry" or "It's okay" can change anything.

Even relatively naive Starlight might not believe that Ashley Barrett would support Homelander forever just because he said "I'm sorry."

As for Homelander... he probably wouldn't believe it either.

But he didn't care!

Whether you support or agree, whether it comes from the heart or not is irrelevant; what matters is your actions!

Just like the persona and script that Vought International has always given him, he will use whichever option is better as long as he can gain support and recognition.

He doesn't care!

Su Quan, or rather the 'father,' felt that this was better, that it would be easier to gain approval, so he was willing to do it.

To be fair, the Homelander are quite similar to Su Quan in this respect; they both judge by actions, not by intentions.

However, due to their different educations, habits, and personalities, Su Quan and Homelander are completely different, except for the fact that they "do whatever they want."

"Let's talk later," Su Quan said to Starlight, then smiled and invited Homelander, "Shall we, father and son, have a race to see who can fly faster?"

This was a parent-child activity that Homelander had been looking forward to, so naturally, they couldn't refuse. After giving a resounding "yes," they immediately opened the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room.

The two flew out of the window and looked at each other.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two sound barriers appeared simultaneously.

The moment the sound barrier appeared, Su Quan and Homelander vanished like Flash.

"This is insane!"

Starlight murmured to herself, then took out her phone and called Queen Maeve: "Maeve, did you know that Su Quan is actually Homelander's father...?"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

With two loud thuds, Su Quan and Homelander landed one after the other in front of a secluded house.

Here, the grass is green and the trees are lush, creating a serene atmosphere reminiscent of a secluded retreat from the world, where one can leisurely gaze upon the southern mountains.

"Mother!"

A seven or eight-year-old boy ran out of the door, shouting loudly.

With eager eyes and a broad smile, the Homelander approached the little boy, greeting him and asking questions.

"Look at this handsome little rascal, buddy, do you know who I am?"

"Homelander!"

The little boy said his name without hesitation.

He's at an age where he idolizes heroes, so how could he not know Homelander, a superhero known worldwide!

Homelander looked at him expectantly. "You're right, but... do you know anything else about my other identities?"

The little boy shook his head and obediently replied, "I don't know."

At this moment, the little boy's mother came out. When she saw Homelander, her face immediately showed surprise, confusion, and helplessness.

He was completely stunned.

Homelander glanced at her, then smiled and continued to the little boy, "Your mother didn't tell you... well, I'm your father!"

The Homelander gently stroked the little boy's head and said sincerely, "We are a family."
