The next day, on set.
Today's scene is still about shooting in a small town, and Ryan's performance is as outstanding as ever.
According to common sense, if the protagonist performs well, then the atmosphere on the set should be harmonious.
But there are exceptions to everything, especially when Homelander, who has always had a sullen face, stands at the side of the set and stares at you coldly, everyone will feel as if they are walking on thin ice.
After a sparse performance of the rival scene ended, Ryan returned to the rest area rather helplessly.
"Dad!!"
"I've already explained it to you. I'm just worried about Maeve. You don't have to worry so much... Hey, Maeve?"
Homelander also turned around, and as soon as he saw Maeve, his anger erupted.
How could what happened last night pass so easily?
But Maeve, who was striding forward, didn't give Homelander a chance to get angry. She nodded to Ryan first.
Then without saying anything, he grabbed Homelander's hand and walked towards the RV.
"Maeve, what are you trying to do?"
"Stop talking nonsense, come with me. I just want to understand something and I want to talk to you!"
Maeve's pun seemed to be addressed to Homelander, but Ryan knew that she was speaking to herself.
It seems that what I said last night had an effect?
Ryan couldn't help but use Super Hearing to lock the RV. He was a little worried that Maeve had not grasped the key points of appeasing Homelander, so as not to overturn it directly.
Bang!
The RV door was slammed shut.
Homelander is about to get angry...
Well, he just asked for it, and then he was frightened by Maeve's actions.
The Queen pushed him into the sofa, then stepped over and lowered her head to look down at him.
"Maeve You..."
"Shh!"
Maeve gently, but suppressed his anger again.
Then, she asked him with a complicated expression, "How long has it been since we looked at each other squarely like this?"
"?"
See a doctor if you are sick. If you are not sick, don't come out and scare people.
Homelander's face showed a rare look of panic. He really couldn't understand what Maeve was thinking.
Didn't the two of them break up? He still treated her like that. What was he going to do all of a sudden now?
"Homelander, I'm not afraid of you anymore!"
"Huh?"
Maeve said to himself, "I beat you last night..."
"That's what I let you, Maeve!"
"Okay, just think that you are giving in to me. Do you still have feelings for me?"
"Ha, how is that possible? Stop being so sentimental. I can smell that woman's scent on you now. You really make me feel sick."
Maeve was not moved by Homelander's bad words at all. She had figured it out and was immune.
She suddenly smiled and said cheerfully, "You already have Ryan, why can't I have Elena? Besides, Homelander, have you really forgotten those wonderful times in the past?"
With one sentence, all the toughness of Homelander was directly broken.
Maeve held her hair hanging down and moved closer to him. She asked him softly, "John, have I ever made you feel happy?"
Homelander couldn't help but nodded.
That was the time when Maeve had just joined the Seven. They were a recognized couple, and it was really a wonderful time.
"So you didn't forget!"
"So..."
Maeve's other hand suddenly lowered, and she stared closely into Homelander's eyes. "John, look at me now, am I more attractive to you than I was then?"
"Yeah... right."
"Are you still angry with me?"
"No!"
Homelander's breathing began to quicken. He was in a hurry.
But at this moment, Maeve suddenly pulled away, raised the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile, "John, not now, don't forget that your son has Super Hearing."
"I don't want to teach him a bad lesson."
Snap--
Homelander grabbed Maeve who was about to walk away. He said with red eyes, "Ryan is filming, I shouldn't continue to disturb him."
"Oh. So what?"
Maeve glanced at him sideways, half-smiling but not smiling.
Her hand was scratched so painfully that she could feel it even with her Super Durability, but she didn't care at all.
Because Ryan is right, Homelander is a big boy who gets what he wants.
If you follow him and coax him, he will calm down like a satisfied child instead of rolling around in search of a sense of existence.
"So Maeve, let's go to the old place?"
Maeve did not speak, but leaned over silently.
Homelander hugged her happily, but he didn't notice the divine brilliance that suddenly appeared on Maeve's face.
My sacrifice will definitely be useful!
Boom!
The next second, the RV was smashed, and Homelander took the queen away.
Ryan looked dumbfoundedly at the sky where the figure had long since disappeared, and said blankly, "Women are like water, they can wrap around the fingers and be soft."
"I want to find Homelander a woman who can contain his energy, but Queen Maeve, you, your actions..."
"This is progressing too fast. Is this the correct way to open an American TV series?"
Time flies like water, and it is already two months later.
Since the last virus crisis, the world seems to have fallen into some kind of calm.
Homelander has a son who loves him, and Maeve, who once drifted away, suddenly came back to him for some reason. During these days, he was really living a comfortable life.
Even though he has to play Homelander who has lost his superpowers in the movie, he doesn't care at all.
Oh, I have to mention that.
Didn't Ryan during that virus crisis want to find Raven? Later, Cate told him the truth.
Raven was brought by the dead principal Shetty, and after Cate used coercion to make her say the flawed farewell, he modified her memory and let her go.
So now Raven is still alive and well, and has an exclusive video of her own.
Of course, she still remembers Ryan, and when Ryan needs her superpower to distinguish good from evil again, she will still appear as a loyal friend.
Ashley is becoming more and more motivated in her career because she found that her pressure was suddenly relieved a lot.
She even occasionally got a smiling face from Homelander, which made her often secretly sigh that this step of completely surrendering to the little ancestor Ryan was a stroke of genius.
She is not panic at all now, even though she is extremely busy again.
There are only four people left in the Seven, and a new round of selection is about to begin, and Ashley, after receiving private advice from Ryan's little ancestor, she is very optimistic about Godolkin's third-ranked dual-form warrior in the school, Jordan Li.
It's just that the selection of newcomers is still being warmed up, so there is no rush.
The top priority is that Ryan's movie is about to be released. This is the top priority.
But Ashley can pretend to be busy.
She put a newspaper on the table and said confidently, "On May 20th, it will be released simultaneously around the world."
"The premiere is scheduled for the same day, then..."
Ryan's eyes fell on the newspaper, and he automatically ignored Ashley's boasting.
This movie has Homelander father and son competing on the same stage, and Homelander loses his superpowers. How could it not set off a global explosion?
So Ryan he doesn't care at all.
His attention was drawn away by a text message in the corner of the newspaper.
Picking up the newspaper, he couldn't help but read aloud, "Emergency incident! An unknown high-energy radiation explosion occurred in the core business district of this city. A bright yellow light swept across the city. The identity of the detonator is unknown..."
