There was silence in the conference hall.
Except for Homelander and Maeve, everyone else did not dare to breathe loudly, and their faces and expressions were very solemn.
As for the Deep, who was sitting at the end of the V table, his face was even more pale, with a steady stream of cold sweat leaking from his forehead, and his eyes glanced at Homelander from time to time.
It seems that the Lord of the Ocean has not been doing well in the past few days, and is very afraid of Homelander who is not saying a word now.
A long time.
"Who... can tell me what this Heros is."
Homelander lowered his voice and spoke quietly to the others.
And while speaking, Homelander no longer looked down at the scenery of Manhattan, but turned around and glanced at everyone present.
At this time, Homelander's facial muscles were stiff and veins popped up on his temples. It seemed that he was suppressing the anger in his heart.
After the words fell, everyone remained silent, which made Homelander's anger about to reach its peak.
"As said on the Internet, he is a demigod in the Greek world just like me."
Fortunately, Maeve, who understood Homelander's nature, spoke first to break the strange silence, otherwise the Deep might have been the first to be cut in half by Homelander's Cyclops.
"Demigod? Huh." Homelander said with a disdainful smile, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. There will be no demigods in this world."
Listening to Homelander's Third Company rejection, Maeve's cold face showed a hint of anger and asked:
"What do you mean by this? Is my mother fake? Huh?"
Hear the words.
Homelander stared at Maeve, and his facial muscles became even stiffer. However, Maeve was unusually unwilling to be outdone. He didn't know where he got the confidence to look at Homelander.
A few seconds passed.
The anger level of the weird-tempered Homelander finally dropped a little, and he also looked away from Maeve.
The reason why he is convinced that there are no gods or demigods in this world is because he knows the inside story about Compound V.
Even A-Train, who was running errands for him, only knew that Compound V was a potion that could enhance their Superman class, or even humans, but did not know the true purpose of Compound V.
In order to maintain his image, Homelander can only swallow this breath.
"Sir... sir." At this time, Starlight, whose voice was trembling, said to Homelander:
"Maeve and I, as well as thousands of people, all saw the demigod named Heros, who seemed to have used some kind of magic to conjure a golden spear out of thin air.
Coupled with various files recently released by the CIA, it can be proved that he is the legendary Son of God."
"..." After hearing Starlight's speech, Homelander's face darkened again.
The reason why Homelander is so angry is because Heros has taken away all the glory that clearly belongs to him. The sudden drop in his fan base has made him, who has been lacking love since childhood, become panicky.
He was afraid that his current status would be taken away by this demigod who appeared out of nowhere.
"Fake!" Thinking of this, Homelander roared with extreme anger, and his pupils began to glow scarlet.
"..."(x5)
Seeing Homelander's appearance, the other five people involuntarily leaned back, instinctively wanting to stay away from Homelander.
Especially Starlight.
Due to the raid in the auditorium, the Deep's reputation plummeted, and there was no chance of violating Starlight.
But after a few days of getting along, Starlight gradually discovered that Super Hero's top team was not as harmonious and friendly as she had imagined.
A-Train feels like he's on drugs every day, and Translucent appears and disappears, but once Maeve caught him in the toilet.
At the same time, A-Train didn't go out much during this period of time because the hacker played by Serena was rampant, and indirectly saved the girlfriend of the male protagonist Hughie.
So Translucent didn't end up with his butt stuffed with C4 bombs.
The Deep?
Needless to say, since the auditorium incident, the Deep's self-esteem has completely collapsed. He treats everyone with caution every day. Whether he can be "lifted" is still a question. How could he infringe Starlight.
The only thing that makes Starlight happy is that Maeve, who has fought alongside her, is still normal and takes good care of her as a new member.
On the other hand, Homelander...
She once thought that Homelander's character was perfect, modest, friendly, caring for team members, and all other positive and righteous words could be used to describe Homelander.
But after coming into close contact with Homelander, she discovered that he was a lunatic on the verge of losing control!
Do whatever you want, specify rules according to your own preferences, think that everything is related to him, and cannot disobey his orders.
At this moment, Starlight knew the real scene of Super Hero.
Immediately afterwards.
Homelander stared at the Deep sitting on the edge with eyes that exuded Scarlet Light, suppressing his anger and said in a deep voice:
"The whole world has seen you fleeing without a fight. It was you who made the Seven's image plummet. Give me a reason not to kill you."
After saying that, the light in his eyes became much brighter.
If the Deep's answer does not satisfy Homelander, then the Deep will usher in two laser rays.
"I...Homelander... please, give me a chance..."
The Deep was so frightened that he kicked his legs quickly, causing the office chair with rollers to gradually move away from Homelander, stammering and begging for mercy.
Seeing that the Deep still looked that cowardly, the light from Homelander's eyes brightened again, and he said loudly and without emotion:
"Wrong answer."
The Deep quickly raised his hands, closed his eyes and protected them in front of him, making a final struggle and said:
"No! Don't kill me!"
"Enough!"
At this critical moment, Maeve stood up with a roar, interrupted Homelander's execution Cyclops, and waved his left hand towards the Deep's and said to Homelander:
"If I were the Deep, I would also choose to run away. Even Black Noir was trampled to death by that ugly thing, let alone the Deep!
And..." Maeve's tone was no longer so tough, and he said: "For my sake, let the Deep go."
"Huh?"
Homelander put away his laser eyes with an angry smile, looked at the Deep with interest, then turned to look at Maeve with a smile on his face, but his eyes were still full of breathlessness and said:
"The famous Queen Maeve actually pleads for mercy for a weakling? You two... do you have any special relationship behind my back?"
"I just don't want to see too much killing." Maeve said without changing his expression, "Besides, those monsters like Gouf attacked our laboratory again.
There are monsters outside who are killing our kind wantonly, and I don't want the Seven to fall apart because of someone's jealousy internally, do you understand?"
Seeing Maeve's ungrateful appearance, Homelander gritted his teeth with hatred, but he could do nothing about the 'toy' Maeve.
"Tap."
Just as the atmosphere in the conference hall was tense, Madelyn walked into the conference hall wearing high heels.
Seeing the expressions of these giant babies, he knew that Homelander was acting like a child again, and then he coughed lightly and said:
"Ahem, please calm down first. The company has major arrangements for what happened recently."
