Killing Ezekiel!

Defeating Ezekiel might have taken some effort, but killing him was child's play!

Besides, Solomon's strength had already risen to level 2. The strike was fast and vicious, killing Ezekiel on the spot in an instant.

As for tomorrow's Faith Expo, Solomon couldn't have cared less. Whoever wanted to hold it could go ahead. It had nothing to do with him.

He slowly pulled out the bone spike and casually wiped the blood off on the hem of Ezekiel's clothes.

With a thought, the bone spike slowly retracted into his body. His skin instantly returned to normal, leaving not a single trace.

Ding, killed Supe Ezekiel. Ability acquired: rubberization.

Solomon glanced down at Ezekiel on the floor, his head pierced by the bone spike, long since dead. His expression showed not the slightest discomfort or disturbance.

After numerous fights and instances of seizing abilities, he had long since grown used to such scenes.

He quickly cleaned the scattered bloodstains off himself and straightened his clothes, then turned and pushed open the RV door. When fans approached him for photos along the way, he calmly obliged, his expression as natural as if nothing had happened.

Less than five minutes after Solomon left, the RV door was suddenly pulled open again, and a figure identical to Ezekiel stepped out.

He went straight to Ashley, who was busy making arrangements for tomorrow, and spoke in an even tone:

"Could you arrange an appearance for Translucent at tomorrow's expo?"

Ashley looked up and glanced at him, then shook her head decisively:

"There's no slot for him tomorrow, and there won't be. It doesn't matter who he asks!"

With that, she turned away and went back to focusing on her work, paying Ezekiel no further attention.

Ezekiel shook his head, feigned disappointment, then turned and walked back to the RV.

An hour later, the staff member responsible for coordinating with him came to the RV, knocked lightly on the door, and called out:

"Mr. Ezekiel, the venue is all set up. We need you to come inspect it."

The staff member knocked for quite a while, but there was no response from inside the RV.

He frowned, assuming Ezekiel had stepped out, then turned and left for the time being, planning to come back later.

Twenty minutes later, the staff member returned and knocked for a long time again, but still heard nothing.

Yet when he asked all the staff at the venue, everyone said they had seen Ezekiel return to the RV earlier and that he hadn't come out since.

A trace of unease stirred in the staff member's heart. He knocked for another five minutes straight, but there was still no response.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, worked up his courage, and gently pushed open the RV door.

The next second, a piercing scream rang throughout the expo venue, startling the busy staff nearby into looking over.

Ten minutes later, a figure descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of the RV.

Homelander walked into the RV expressionlessly, glanced at the body on the floor, and twitched his nose, picking up the lingering scents in the air.

Then he turned and walked out, his gaze dark as he looked at Ashley, who was already pale with fright beside him.

"Was Translucent here?"

Homelander's voice was flat, and the oppressive atmosphere around him made it hard to breathe.

Ashley hurriedly nodded, her voice trembling slightly as she quickly said:

"Translucent did come this afternoon to see Mr. Ezekiel. It seemed he wanted Mr. Ezekiel to arrange an appearance for him tomorrow. After Translucent left, Mr. Ezekiel came to see me, too. I turned him down, and then he went back to the RV and never came out again."

She hesitated, then added:

"I checked the surveillance footage. After Mr. Ezekiel entered the RV, the door never opened again, and the windows were all closed. Translucent can turn invisible, but he'd still have to open the door to get into the RV, wouldn't he?"

Homelander's brows furrowed tightly. Inside the RV, he had only smelled Ezekiel and Solomon, with no scent of any stranger.

He had initially thought Solomon had turned invisible and doubled back after leaving to kill Ezekiel, but Ashley's words left him puzzled.

"Where did Translucent go after leaving here?"

Homelander's voice grew colder, and a flicker of impatience crossed his eyes.

Ashley hurriedly opened the tablet in her hands, quickly pulled up the relevant records, and hastily replied:

"He went back to Vought Tower after leaving the venue. The surveillance footage shows he stayed in Vought Tower all afternoon and never came out again."

Homelander took a deep breath and slowly let it out, his tone full of irritation and confusion.

What the fuck was going on? If Translucent hadn't done it, who had?

He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked:

"Can tomorrow's Faith Expo still proceed as usual?"

Ashley hurriedly nodded and said respectfully:

"We've already arranged for a shapeshifter to fill in. He'll take Mr. Ezekiel's appearance tomorrow so we can get through the expo smoothly. Afterward, we'll gradually arrange for Mr. Ezekiel to 'retire' and introduce a new spokesperson. It's just that a last-minute replacement may have some impact, but we'll do our best to keep it under control."

Homelander nodded impatiently and asked no more questions. He sprang upward, shooting into the sky in an instant and flying toward Vought Tower.

Anger simmered inside him. Even if Ezekiel's death had nothing to do with Solomon, he still had to teach the guy a lesson.

He had only just told Solomon to keep a close eye on Maeve, yet Solomon had run over here to see Ezekiel. Now that Ezekiel was dead, his mood was already terrible, and Solomon naturally became the target for him to vent his anger on.

But when Homelander arrived at Vought Tower in a fury and searched the entire 99th floor, he couldn't find Solomon anywhere.

By then, Solomon had long since turned invisible and silently arrived at Mercy Hospital.

Using his invisibility, he easily bypassed Vought International's armed guards in the hospital and made his way unimpeded straight to the entrance of the pediatric intensive care unit.

But entering the ward required a special access card. Without one, he couldn't open the door at all.

Solomon glanced up at the surveillance camera to his upper left, then at the tightly shut door. He knew that barging straight in wouldn't work; it would only alert them.

Without the slightest hesitation, he activated his Ant-Man Transformation ability. His body rapidly shrank until he was the size of an ant, and he silently slipped through the gap beneath the door.

Once inside the ward, Solomon took in the scene at a glance.

Most of the cribs were empty. Only when his gaze fell on a crib in the corner did he stop walking.

An IV bag filled with blue liquid hung from the IV stand beside that crib. It was the very Compound V Butcher had been searching so desperately for!

The blue liquid in the IV bag was flowing down the tube, entering the infant's body little by little.
