At the word "laboratory," Homelander's expression stiffened slightly. That place was both where his power began and a shadow he could never erase from his heart.
But he quickly composed himself, returning to his usual calm and poise.
"I came to ask you about someone."
Homelander got straight to the point. He knew Dr. Vogelbaum's time was precious, and his own patience was limited. "As Vought Company's former chief scientist, you should know all about Vought's Superheroes."
Dr. Vogelbaum nodded, a trace of pride flashing through his eyes. "I know most Superheroes, especially those with rather unique abilities. After all, I personally took part in creating many of them."
"This person is indeed very special."
Homelander spoke slowly, with an almost imperceptible heaviness in his tone. "He calls himself Captain America."
At that, Dr. Vogelbaum frowned slightly, seemingly searching his memories for a face to match that name.
But clearly, the name had not left much of an impression in his memory.
Seeing this, Homelander had no choice but to offer a more specific description. "His body is as strong as mine. His strength... may even be greater. He possesses speed, agility, and endurance far beyond ordinary humans."
As he said this, a hint of bitterness inevitably crept into Homelander's voice.
He admitted that Captain America's strength far surpassed his own. It could not be summed up by "may even be greater." It was a comprehensive, profound crushing superiority—the difference between a mountain and an ant.
However, Homelander's pride would not allow him to show even the slightest cowardice or retreat before Dr. Vogelbaum.
After all, he was Homelander, the Superhero admired by the world and regarded as omnipotent, Vought Company's pride. His image could not tolerate the slightest stain.
After hearing the description, disbelief flashed through Dr. Vogelbaum's eyes.
