Chapter 639
Hehe.
The parents of these babies had signed an agreement with Vought International that, even if the powers were removed, an unsuspecting manager would still re-inject them with Compound V.
If he's unlucky, he'll die; if he's lucky, his abilities will return.
Then all my efforts would have been for nothing!
Homelander's Chest Cannon Energy can completely eliminate Compound V in Superman, thus causing them to lose their superpowers and return to being ordinary people.
However, there is a very high chance that the superpowers can be restored if the permanent Compound V is injected again.
In the TV series, Himiko lost her superpowers after being hit by Homelander's chest cannon, and she only recovered by injecting Compound V again.
Su Quan wasn't afraid that the Homelander would know about this method; he just didn't want them to find out so easily.
Without safe examples, it's uncertain whether Homelander would dare to take the risk.
Moreover, Homelander had been secretly having A-Train deliver Compound V to terrorists, using them to artificially create 'villains'.
These 'villains' will be eliminated by the righteous Homelander, becoming stepping stones for Homelander's achievements and boosting his approval rating.
To put it bluntly, it's about nurturing enemies to enhance one's own power!
Himiko and her younger brother Kenji acquired their superpowers in this way.
In addition, the A-Train embezzled from its own quarters and secretly took Compound V.
Imagine What If...? Homelander, after going through countless hardships and suffering, finally discovered a way to regain his superpowers.
It turns out that this solution was always right in front of us, not only readily available but also closely related...
This is absolutely insane!
While eliminating the baby's abilities, Su Quan also gained his own abilities— Heat Vision.
Afterwards, he took Sherry's body out of his personal space and resurrected her using the Phoenix Force.
Due to his deliberate actions, the resurrection of Sherry was very quiet, with no special effects such as a raging wind or dark clouds covering the sun.
Phoenix Force entered her body, Sherry, whose body had been cold and her skin ashen, quickly regained her body temperature and color, and then opened her eyes in a daze.
"I... I'm not dead?" Sherry murmured softly, somewhat bewildered and at a loss.
Soon, she saw the unfamiliar surroundings and Su Quan holding the baby.
"It's you..."
Sherry instantly felt a dull pain in her neck, and the memory of having her neck twisted came flooding back, causing her to shiver involuntarily and reveal a look of fear.
Su Quan smiled and said, "I resurrected you. From now on, you belong to me."
"Of course, you can refuse."
Sherry hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "If I... if I refuse, will this happen?"
Su Quan opened his mouth slightly and uttered a single word. "Die!"
"..."
Is this what you mean by being able to refuse?
Sherry slowly stood up and resignedly said, "I understand. From now on, I'm yours. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."
She still had some doubts about the 'resurrection', after all, even Superman with various superpowers would find it difficult to come back to life, right?
But the feeling of death was so real...
Fake Death?
That would be even more impossible.
Putting aside how the other person managed to break their own neck and survive, even if they could, their own neck would inevitably be injured.
More importantly, Nina wouldn't let the other party take her 'body' away unless she was certain she was really dead.
Whether he was really dead or Fake Death, he had at least escaped death and gotten rid of Nina, this big troublemaker.
As for the rest, let's take it one step at a time.
Su Quan handed the baby over to Sherry and left her some money, telling her to take good care of the child and be a wet nurse.
When the time is right, the child will be returned to his or her biological parents.
As for when the time is right?
Of course, it will be when the Homelander know the truth, or when everything has settled down.
After giving his instructions, Su Quan left immediately, not worried that Sherry might have any ulterior motives.
After all, she had nowhere to go and had to hide from Nina.
Staying here peacefully to take care of the baby, having a place to live and money to spend, isn't that great?
Besides, even though she might not seem to like children on the surface, when it comes down to it, how many people can resist the charm of a little one waving their tiny hands and feet?
The Seven meeting room.
The two Multiple Man sisters, their eyes gleaming blue, stared expressionlessly at Ashley Barrett, who was terrified but dared not resist.
Ashley Barrett summoned the Multiple Man as Madelyn had instructed, but she never expected that Madelyn's purpose in summoning the Multiple Man was to erase her memories!
No one likes it, and no one wants their memories to be erased, but Ashley Barrett can't refuse, and she has no choice but to refuse!
On the one hand, the fact that Homelander lost his superpowers has a huge impact; if he is not careful, he could face utter ruin.
Madelyn and Queen Maeve are close confidants, while she herself is just an ordinary assistant, so naturally she will be kept silent.
On the other hand, she couldn't refuse Queen Maeve and the Multiple Man.
They will either have their memories forcibly erased, or they may be silenced.
One was to silence her, the other to kill her. Even if Ashley Barrett was unwilling, she had no choice but to cooperate obediently.
A moment later, the blue light in the eyes of the two Multiple Man sisters disappeared, and they turned and nodded to Madelyn.
"Memories of Homelander's incapacity."
"Already."
"Deleted."
The two sisters each said one sentence, and finally spoke in unison.
Madelyn nodded, reminding them, "You know what to do, right?"
"Rest assured."
"We will keep it a secret."
The two sisters took turns making their promises.
To be honest, Madelyn wasn't entirely at ease, but compared to Ashley Barrett, the Multiple Man was less dangerous.
Firstly, they have no grudges against the Homelander, nor are they in competition with them.
Secondly, in order to keep quiet, the company will definitely support and promote them, so they can get more benefits.
Thirdly, they are quite capable and will not be easily threatened.
It would be different if it were Ashley Barrett.
Don't be fooled by Ashley Barrett's usual obsequious and flattering demeanor, which makes her seem like she has no temper.
But even the most patient person will get angry when they encounter someone like Homelander, they just hold it in.
Homelander has now lost its powers, and Ashley Barrett's attitude is likely to change.
Even the smallest details can easily be noticed, revealing the unusual behavior of the Homelander.
Madelyn knew very well that Ashley Barrett was just as ambitious as she was, someone who wanted to climb the social ladder.
Once someone is in a high position, they will inevitably turn against you, and even if they don't, they will no longer be as easy to control as before.
Therefore, we cannot give her benefits or promote her in order to keep her quiet!
But she's also the Seven's assistant, so if anyone becomes suspicious of Homelander's strange behavior, they'll definitely ask her about it.
Whether it's coercion or bribery, she can't resist!
Therefore, the best solution is to erase her memory, remove her from this matter, and reduce the risk of Homelander's plot twist!
After the Multiple Man and Ashley Barrett left the office, Madelyn breathed a sigh of relief, unbuttoning her shirt collar as she looked at Queen Maeve.
"The Translucent is dead, and Homelander is... What a turbulent time."
"By the way, do you have any recommendations for a new member to replace the Translucent?"
The last time Starlight was recommended, it was at Su Quan's request; Queen Maeve herself didn't want to get involved in such matters.
Moreover, Madelyn had always considered Homelander's opinion in such matters, so the sudden questioning of herself felt rather strange...
