You Don't Deserve to Be a Reporter!

Seven Tower.

In the command center, Ashley held her phone and looked at the "Dodge News Live Stream" on the screen.

On it, a man calling himself Dodger Wilson spoke to the camera.

"Everyone, this is absolutely outrageous!"

"I just got the injured woman's information. Take a guess who she is."

"She is Angelina Caiton!"

"The daughter of Truman Caiton, the billionaire who passed away not long ago. If I remember correctly, after that billionaire's death, Miss Angelina jumped from a building in her grief and attempted suicide. Homelander was the one who saved her."

"And today, she was actually attacked at Seven Tower."

"That certainly gives people plenty to think about!"

"Could Homelander be involved in the death of billionaire Truman?"

"Could he be involved in a dispute over assets worth tens of billions of dollars?"

"If that's the case, then I can probably understand why Homelander forcibly intercepted the ambulance and took Angelina away when she should have been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment."

"Perhaps this gentleman didn't want Miss Angelina to live!"

"Of course, whether that is true still requires a direct response from Homelander or Seven Tower."

"I am now in the lobby of Seven Tower. Hello, I'm reporter Dodger Wilson. I would like to interview Homelander or the person in charge of Seven Tower."

"My viewers and I want to know why Homelander forcibly took Miss Angelina away."

On the phone screen, Ashley saw that the reporter had already entered the first-floor lobby of Seven Tower and was making inquiries at the reception desk.

"That bastard!"

Ashley glanced at the number of viewers in the live stream. A long figure was displayed: 1,027,921!

There were actually over a million viewers online!

Furthermore, comments flashed continuously beneath the live stream, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to read them.

But one thing was certain: this matter had drawn enormous public attention.

If it wasn't handled properly, Homelander's public image could collapse!

Thinking of this, Ashley anxiously tugged at her hair. When she lowered her hand, several strands drifted to the floor.

Just then, her phone rang. It was the front desk on the first floor.

A few minutes later, Ashley arrived at the front desk and met the reporter.

She put on a professional smile and accepted Dodger Wilson's interview.

"Miss Ashley, why did Homelander intercept the ambulance and forcibly transfer the injured woman without her consent?"

"Didn't he know that Miss Angelina was in critical condition at the time, and that moving her carelessly could very likely put her life in danger?"

"Do you know where Homelander is right now?"

The questions came like artillery shells, leaving Ashley struggling to cope.

Ashley screamed inwardly.

How the hell would I know why that lunatic stopped an ambulance!

Whether Angelina lives or dies, I'd bet he doesn't care that much!

And where is he? Of course I don't know. I'm just an assistant, a goddamn assistant, not his babysitter!

Just as Ashley was about to answer, a dull whooshing sound came from outside. Then someone entered the building and shouted excitedly, "Homelander is back!"

Dodger Wilson's eyes immediately lit up, and he said excitedly, "Miss Ashley, could you arrange an exclusive interview with Homelander for me?"

Ashley smiled. "I'm sorry, sir, but interviews require appointments. As you know, superheroes are very busy, especially Homelander."

The reporter smiled. "Is that so? But why do I get the feeling Homelander doesn't seem all that busy? Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped an ambulance halfway there."

"Miss Ashley, I think you should consider this carefully. After all, there are... oh, over a million viewers who want answers."

"They want to know Miss Angelina's condition."

"Am I right?"

"If you think I'm right, please type the number one in the comments."

The next second, the live stream's comments exploded.

They were all "111111," and Ashley's expression changed drastically at the sight.

"Well, Miss Ashley?"

Like a vulture that had caught the scent of carrion, Dodger Will refused to let this opportunity go and pressed forward step by step.

"Could it be that you want to hide something for Homelander?"

"Or does Homelander have some unspeakable secret?"

"I certainly hope my guess is wrong, but I'm increasingly convinced that this so-called Homelander, this so-called guardian, is actually a fraud."

"If that isn't the case, then use facts to refute me, ma'am!"

Ashley shook her head and made a gesture. "Security, please escort this gentleman out."

"Oh, my god."

"Did everyone hear that?"

"They're actually calling security to clear us out!"

"Don't we have the right to know?"

"Or did Homelander do something he doesn't want exposed?"

Dodger Wilson shouted himself hoarse. At that moment, he was thrilled and excited, like a fighter about to join a holy war.

Just as several security guards approached to "escort" him out—

A voice rang out.

"I won't allow you to slander Homelander!"

Upon hearing that voice, Ashley's face brightened.

Dodger Wilson, however, looked utterly confused.

At Ashley's signal, the security guards stepped back. Only then did the reporter see a glamorous, tall young woman walking toward him.

It was Angelina Caiton herself!

Dodger Wilson's mind buzzed as he cried inwardly.

Wasn't she critically injured and on the verge of death?

How could she be walking around?

Wouldn't that make me a liar?

I just told the viewers Angelina was about to die, but...

The reporter came back to his senses and moved to shut down the live stream.

Ashley reacted quickly, snatching away his phone and turning the camera toward Dodger Wilson.

"Sir, didn't you want to know the truth?"

"Now that Miss Angelina is here, you can ask her yourself."

Dodger looked embarrassed, while Angelina faced the camera with graceful composure. "I was attacked in Seven Tower, and my life was hanging by a thread."

"Homelander saved me. Yes, for the second time!"

"If he hadn't intercepted the ambulance in time and taken me away for treatment, I might already be dead."

"If that happened, it probably would have been exactly what certain people wanted, wouldn't it?"

The young woman then turned to Dodger Wilson. "But what surprises me is that while Homelander was racing against time to save my life, someone chose to question him, smear him, and slander him!"

"Mr. Dodger, I know you wanted to exploit this incident. You wanted to sensationalize it and raise your own profile."

"But put your hand on your conscience. Aren't you afraid of chilling people's hearts by doing this?"

"You should know that Homelander rescued the hostages at Vought International Department Store this morning."

"And when he heard that I was in danger, he came to save me without regard for himself."

"While he was busy protecting us, you were smearing him behind his back, smearing a true hero!"

"I think you are tarnishing the identity of a reporter."

"You don't deserve to be a reporter!"
