Worthy of Me

A true superhero alliance should be like the Avengers or the Justice League.

The original Seven had been nothing more than a fake superhero alliance.

The only one in it who could really fight was Homelander, with Queen Maeve a tier below him.

Below them were Black Noir, Translucent, and the like.

The "Starlight" who joined The Seven in the TV series was simply a disgrace to Supers. Aside from her looks, her combat ability was nothing special.

At the end of Season Three, she served as a giant battery. Even after storing up all the electricity in Seven Tower, she only blasted Homelander away. He got back up after dusting himself off.

Azu had no interest in sexually exploiting "Starlight," so why waste a spot on her?

Thus, he quickly found "Starlight," Annie, marked her name with a "PASS" label, and sent it to the organizers.

Only then did he seriously review the names, files, and abilities of the candidates one by one. What Azu valued most was their actual combat experience.

Anyone without combat experience whose ability was useless got passed over.

There were many applicants. Just reviewing their files took up the entire day.

During his break, a news report was playing.

A famous, beautiful female anchor from a certain TV station appeared on screen with a grief-stricken expression. "Just last night, our city's wealthy tycoon and renowned philanthropist, Mr. Truman Caiton, passed away due to illness."

"Mr. Truman Caiton had only one daughter. Overwhelmed by grief over her father's death last night, his daughter Angelina Caiton attempted to take her own life by jumping from a building."

"Fortunately, Homelander saved her and personally took her to St. Anna Hospital."

Hearing his own name mentioned, Azu paid closer attention. Then a photograph appeared on the screen.

It showed a young, beautiful woman who looked very much like Anne Hathaway, with a small black mole at the corner of her mouth.

She was the girl he had casually saved last night.

"Just as expected of me."

"One random rescue, and she turns out to be a rich heiress."

Azu smiled, turned off the television, and gave it no further thought.

After dinner, he returned to the command hall to continue selecting new members for The Seven when Ashley entered.

The assistant wore an excited expression as she hurried over to Azu.

"Homelander, someone wants to see you."

"Angelina Caiton!"

"The 'princess' you saved last night!"

Azu looked up, making sure Ashley was not joking.

A moment later.

He met Angelina Caiton. He had not looked closely last night, but seeing her today, she truly was a stunning beauty.

Azu waved Ashley away and told her not to let anyone else in for the time being.

Ashley gave Azu a look that said, "I understand," and quickly left.

Only Azu and the strikingly beautiful young woman remained in the hall.

"So." Azu spread his hands and smiled. "What can I do for you, Miss Angelina?"

"If you're here to thank me, then there's no need."

Angelina lightly bit her pink lips and took a step forward. "Homelander, you saw it last night too, didn't you?"

"I'm not what they said on television, some grieving daughter trying to kill herself because her father died."

"No, I was pushed!"

Azu shrugged and smiled. "If that's the case, I think you should seek help from the police."

"It's useless. Uncle O'Connor must have already taken care of everything. No one will believe what I say."

"Except you!"

Something like flames burned in Angelina's eyes. "My father did not die from illness either. He was murdered by my uncle, his younger brother, O'Connor Caiton!"

"My uncle wanted to get rid of me too. That way, he would inherit my father's assets."

"But he never expected you to save me."

"So I beg you, I beg you to step forward, to seek justice for me, and help me get revenge!"

Azu chuckled. "Miss Angelina, yes, I did see someone behind the window last night."

"But based on that alone, you want me to step forward and help you get revenge."

"Don't you think that's a little childish?"

"Alright, Miss. I have other matters to deal with. Could you please leave?"

Angelina shook her head. "Please believe me. You're the only one who can help me now."

Azu looked at her seriously. "The only person who can ever help you is yourself."

"Remember this, Miss Angelina. Never entrust your life to someone else, even if that person is me."

Angelina struggled inwardly.

Azu actually believed what she said. He could even imagine an entire drama of wealthy family infighting, but he had no interest in this matter and did not want to get involved.

Suddenly.

Azu thought of the NK Gene Modification Potion in the store, and an idea immediately came to mind.

"However."

Hearing that Homelander seemed willing to negotiate, Angelina looked at him.

Azu sat down and looked the girl over from head to toe. "You can take revenge yourself."

Angelina shook her head. "I don't have that kind of power."

"What if I said I could give you that power?" Azu cast out the bait.

Angelina froze for a moment, then said, "Really?"

"If you're willing to help me, then after I reclaim my father's assets, I'll give you half of them!"

Azu shook his head. "I'm not interested in money."

Angelina paused. "Then what are you interested in?"

"I'm more interested in you." Azu smiled.

Angelina was stunned at first. Then her expression grew complicated. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly began taking off her clothes.

This time, Azu was the one who froze.

He then laughed. "Stop. You misunderstood what I meant."

"It's not that you lack charm, but what I want more is someone loyal to me, someone who can carry out every one of my orders without hesitation."

Half of Truman Caiton's assets.

Or an heir who possessed all the assets and was also a Super loyal to him.

Azu could clearly tell which would be more useful to him.

That was right.

He wanted to use an NK Gene Modification Potion to create a Super confidant.

If that Super confidant also possessed enormous assets, then the potion's value would be maximized.

If it succeeded, Angelina would become a force under his command outside The Seven.

A force Vought would know nothing about.

A pretty good trump card.

Angelina finally understood. After thinking it over, she nodded.

"As long as I can avenge my father, nothing else matters."

"From today onward, you are my master!"

Of course, Azu would not believe her so easily.

So-called "loyalty" had to stand the test of time.

He glanced at Angelina, whose clothes were half undone, and smiled. "Now you can take them off."

"Take everything off."

Before, it had been a "misunderstanding."

This time, it was an "order."

The first "order" from her master!

A moment later.

The door to the command hall opened, and Ashley heard Homelander say from inside, "Arrange a room for Miss Angelina. Put her next to mine."

Ashley immediately wore an expression that said, "Just as I thought," then smiled at the heiress who walked out. "Miss Angelina, please come with me."

The command hall door closed again. Azu savored the sight from earlier and gave a faint nod.

Then his phone rang.

The Invisible Man was calling!
