Chapter 634
Su Quan's tone softened as he helped Homelander up and tended to his shoulder injury.
His gaze toward his Homelander was filled with a mixture of frustration at their lack of progress and a longing for them to succeed.
That look instantly moved the Homelander. He wanted his father's approval; he wanted to prove his excellence to everyone!
"Father, Father, what do you want me to do?" Homelander asked.
Su Quan glanced at Becca and Ryan, and said earnestly, "Now that you're a father too, you should set a good example for Ryan and let him know what a real man should do when he encounters difficulties!"
Then he turned to Ryan and said, "Ryan, do you want your father to be a useless person who only relies on superpowers, or a hero who, even without superpowers, has the courage and ability to face everything?"
If you ask this question to an adult who has been navigating the complexities of society for a long time, the answer might be to become a useless person who relies on superpowers to command others.
Please, what's wrong with this?
If you had Homelander's abilities, even if everyone criticized you for being useless without superpowers, you could still smile and accept it gladly.
If you keep hurling insults and taking advantage of my kindness, well, have you heard of Heat Vision?
But if you ask Ryan, the only answer will be...
"I want my father to be a hero!" Ryan said crisply.
Su Quan smiled.
With the father's approval and the son's expectations, Homelander, just give in!
Su Quan said seriously to Homelander, "First of all, I can tell you that I can restore your superpowers."
"Secondly, I will guarantee your safety, but that's all."
"Finally, tell me, Homelander, are you willing to prove to me and to Ryan that you are a true man who can be a hero even without superpowers?"
"I don't want to..." the Homelander silently answered in his heart.
Are you kidding me!
He simply couldn't imagine what he would do without superpowers!
He's Homelander, the most powerful and popular Homelander! If people find out he doesn't have superpowers, everything he has now will vanish.
He longed for his father's approval and to be a role model for his son, but without power, he would no longer be Homelander.
What can he do?
He can't do anything!
The silence of the Homelander made Su Quan secretly curl his lip; this guy was indeed very self-centered...
However, the situation was not right, or rather, the timing was not right!
For no reason at all, you're forced to give up your abilities just to gain your father's approval or your son's admiration. No one would agree to that!
Not to mention that her son idolizes her because he has superpowers!
Such rhetoric and deception are only effective in specific environments and under certain conditions!
But it doesn't matter anyway. Su Quan was just going with the flow anyway, taking a shot whether it was worth it or not.
If the Homelander disagree, so be it. Anyway... his opinion doesn't count!
PS: This chapter made my head spin. I revised it several times because of the Boys plot. No matter which side Su Quan was on, it was a smooth ride. I was worried that the plot would be too bland, so I kept thinking of interesting angles.
But I don't know if it's suitable or if people will like it. I also have to consider the logic. Anyway, I'll try my best to write it, and I hope everyone will be satisfied.
The Homelander remained silent for a long time, trying to express their attitude through silence.
Unfortunately, times have changed.
This is no longer an era where Homelander can do whatever they want; it is now your father, that is, me—your ancestors—who have the final say!
"Sigh..." Su Quan looked at the Homelander and sighed in feigned disappointment. He didn't give him a chance to speak and waved his hand at him directly.
"Call out--"
With a whooshing sound, Homelander had just realized what was happening, disappeared in a state of grief, indignation, and panic!
Life is unpredictable, and the Homelander never expected their "father" to be such a jerk!
I would really appreciate it!
You think you're so great? You're not high-class enough!
From this day forward, my mother tongue will be speechless!
Su Quan looked at Becca and Ryan, who were still afraid of him, and said with a smile, "I hope Homelander can understand my good intentions. Becca, I also hope you can understand why I did what I did just now."
Becca offered a polite smile, neither confirming nor denying, thinking to herself, "Whether I understand or not is unimportant; what matters is that you won't hurt me or Ryan."
Su Quan looked at Ryan: "Remember, your grandfather's name is Su Quan. According to the custom in my hometown, the surname comes first, and the given name comes last. So your father, Homelander, is called Su John, and you..."
"Su Ryan?" Ryan asked timidly in a low voice.
Su Quan smiled and said, "Take good care of your mother. Grandpa will come to see you again when he has time."
Ryan hummed in agreement. "Goodbye, Grandpa."
Su Quan waved his hand, tilted his head back, soared into the sky, and then flew away rapidly amidst the magnificent sound barrier.
New York, Manhattan.
The headquarters building of the Vought International.
Because of its unique shape, it is also called the Vought Tower.
"Bite!"
The elevator arrived at the 99th floor.
Homelander walked out with a sinister look on his face, exuding a violent aura that said "keep away."
Upon seeing this, passing employees lowered their heads and gave way, not daring to even breathe loudly, for fear of provoking this tyrannical and cruel ruler.
"Bang!"
The office door was pushed open forcefully, startling Queen Maeve and Madelyn, who were discussing their new look.
Immediately afterwards, Homelander, with a gloomy expression, closed the door and stormed over.
Madelyn asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
What do you think?
Homelander, panting heavily, said fiercely, "Call him!"
"Immediately!"
"Immediately!"
He?
Madelyn hesitated for a moment, then realized what she meant. "You mean... Su Quan?"
The Homelander snorted, without denying it.
Madelyn's first thought was that Su Quan's deception of Homelander had been exposed, but then she thought about it again...
Just to have me call Su Quan?
That's so 'friendly'.
Grabbing their own necks, radiating crimson Heat Vision – that's the proper reaction of Homelander after being exposed!
"Didn't you go to see your son with your father? Why did you come back alone? What happened?"
Madelyn feigned composure and asked tentatively.
The Homelander hesitated, then gritted his teeth angrily and said urgently and domineeringly, "I'm telling you to call him right now!"
"Immediately!!!"
Madelyn secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Homelander was furious and seemed to be very angry, he did not deny Su Quan's identity as his father.
In other words, if the truth hasn't been revealed, then there's nothing to be afraid of.
Madelyn smiled and said, "I don't know what's going on between you and your son, but unfortunately, I don't have his contact information."
Homelander didn't believe it. "Impossible, you're not..."
"Yes! I do have a connection with your father, but I'm not the only one. If you want to find him, why don't you ask Maeve for help?"
Madelyn spoke with great gusto, repeating "your father" over and over again.
Yes.
She also hates Homelander!
Madelyn has been helping, pleasing, and coaxing Homelander first debuted.
She deserves a lot of credit for the popularity of the Homelander today!
This is not because she likes young, handsome men, nor is it because she has an overflowing maternal instinct.
