If the Deep were to actually do that, just thinking about it would be a huge headache.

Lin Mo's brows furrowed slightly at this thought.

But that doesn't quite make sense, does he also want to create a mini-Aquaman?

But doesn't this guy prefer fish?

Why...

never mind.

Thinking about these things now is useless. Just having been in charge of online accounts is not enough to prove that something really happened afterward.

You can't just apply the plot from the original story to the Deep just because the two people had previous work contact.

Lin Mo glanced at Ashley, who was still trying to remember, and waved his hand.

"If I can't remember, I'll just leave it at that."

"Knowing this is enough."

Ashley breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, realizing that she hadn't been completely unhelpful.

"If I remember anything else later, I'll let you know."

"Um."

Lin Mo nodded and didn't ask any further questions. They could investigate Becca's situation later.

There were two ready-made people waiting for him to make arrangements.

Lin Mo turned his head and looked at Hughie and Robin.

The two had finished their private conversation. Robin sat on the edge of the bed, with Hughie beside him.

Occasionally, when he glances down at her, a slight smile unconsciously appears on his face.

The joy they felt at having found what they had lost was truly impossible to hide.

Lin Mo looked at it and walked over.

Hughie.

Hearing him call his name, Hughie immediately looked up.

"You said."

Lin Mo didn't beat around the bush.

"Now, are any of you interested in working for Vought?"

Hughie paused for a moment, and Robin, who was next to him, also looked over.

Lin Mo paused briefly, then added another sentence.

Or, to be more precise.

"Come and do my work."

These two sentences.

For a moment, Hughie was truly unsure what expression to make first.

surprise?

It seems so.

After all, that's Vought.

If someone had told Robin that he could leave the electronics store and go to work for Vought before the accident happened...

He could even work directly for Superman; he'd probably be laughing in his sleep.

The problem is, things are different now than they were yesterday.

He learned about some of the complexities within Vought and had seen some things firsthand.

Vought wasn't as good as he had imagined.

Not every Superhero is as portrayed in the propaganda.

The company knows that someone is doing something wrong, but the company will cover it up for them.

This in itself speaks volumes.

Lin Mo is a good person, and so is Maeve.

At least in his and Robin's case, they were genuinely helping, and Hughie wouldn't deny that. But just because a few people are doing well doesn't mean the whole company is doing well.

So what happened after he and Robin went in?

Become a part of it?

So, will he also help those scoundrels and deal with the trouble they cause in the future?

Or is it really possible to do what you want to do and help those in need?

Thinking about this, the initial excitement slowly subsided.

Hughie looked at Lin Mo, his lips moving slightly.

He had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it appropriately.

After all, Lin Mo also works at Vought, and it would be strange for him to say to Lin Mo's face that the company is no good.

Isn't that a bit impolite?

What's more, they just saved Robin, and now they're offering them a job opportunity.

His hesitation here seems rather illogical.

Lin Mo wasn't in a hurry. He noticed Hughie's hesitation but didn't urge him. Instead, he became a little curious about why Hughie was starting to have concerns.

What are your concerns?

Hughie paused for a moment.

In the end, I decided to tell the truth.

Since he felt that Lin Mo was trustworthy, there was no need to keep this matter to himself.

It's not that I'm unwilling to help you.

Hughie said that first.

"Real."

"You saved Robin and helped us so much, I'm very grateful."

"Only..."

He paused briefly.

"Vought seems a little different from you."

Lin Mo looked at him without interrupting.

Seeing this, Hughie continued:

"Some heroes did those things, but the company is covering for them."

"Does that mean that some people in the company don't care about these things anyway?"

"What they care about is probably just money, and whether the news will affect their business."

At this point, his voice lowered slightly.

"I'm worried that if Robin and I go in, we'll become their employees."

"I don't want to... knowing that these things are wrong, and still become their accomplice."

Robin sat beside him, listening intently without interrupting Hughie.

She could understand those concerns as well.

Hughie glanced at her, then looked back at Lin Mo.

After hesitating for a moment...

Finally, he voiced another thought as well.

"Actually, I've thought about it."

Have you considered leaving Vought?

Lin Mo's expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Hughie, however, hadn't noticed and continued speaking earnestly:

"Heroes like you, and Maeve, can still help others even if they're not with this company."

"What everyone likes is you."

"It wasn't Vought."

"If the company's upper management is constantly doing those kinds of things, then wouldn't you, staying here, also...?"

He didn't finish his sentence.

But the meaning was quite clear: he felt that someone as good as Lin Mo shouldn't be held back by this company indefinitely.

The other person saved him and Robin, so shouldn't he also remind Lin Mo?

At least don't let him continue working for those people?

The fact that Hughie could think of these things shows that, despite having superpowers, he still thought like an ordinary person.

For example, going to work is going to work, and company leaders still have the right to manage them.

No matter how outstanding a person is, they still seem to be constrained by these things. He hasn't truly realized the person standing right in front of him.

They were nothing like the employees he used to know.

Whether Lin Mo is willing to stay at Vought and whether Vought can control Lin Mo are two completely different issues.

Let alone the so-called top Vought Walter, even if Edgar were standing here, he probably wouldn't think he could do anything to Lin Mo so easily.

But Hughie doesn't know these things yet.

Therefore, he genuinely wanted to persuade Lin Mo to leave this place.

Lin Mo listened quietly, and a sense of relief appeared on her face.

He wasn't angry; he finally understood what the kid was struggling with.

So that's the reason. That makes things easier.

Come to think of it, maybe I was too direct with what I just said.

Working for Vought —these words are certainly not something Hughie can easily accept right now.

Why not just rephrase it?

And I did consider doing that.

Lin Mo looked at him for a while, then a slight smile reappeared on her face.

I am aware of the problems you mentioned.

"That's precisely why."

"I'm the one who needs you."

Hughie paused for a moment.

That's what I meant.

Why does that sound so familiar?

The man who dragged him to the bar yesterday seemed to be thinking something similar.

Because there's a problem, we need him.

no.

Why are they all saying the same thing?
