Chapter 789: Terrorists? No, it's the Savior!

The summer in Los Angeles is extremely hot, making people living in this city irritable.

The sound of whistles and the chirping of cicadas on the street mixed together to create a particularly harsh noise.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Homelander violently killed a criminal who was attempting to rob with a laser, and vented his anger in front of the horrified gaze of the rescued person.

He couldn't find Amber, and the phone number that he had always been able to call was no longer answered.

Life, which had been going smoothly, became troubled after the appearance of that damn Blazing Flame Organization.

"Kid, you should calm down."

A familiar voice sounded behind him. Homelander's body stiffened, and then a look of great grievance appeared on his face.

I saw the corners of his eyes twitching, and he tried to smile, but he couldn't, and he looked very weird.

"Father! I thought I would never see you again."

"No kid, I've been keeping an eye on you."

Amber slowly descended from the sky.

The victim, who had not yet left, almost popped his eyes out when he heard the conversation between the two.

Father?

The eldest of the seven-member group actually has a father!
"The father I know."

Homelander threw a few stones and killed the lucky guy he had just rescued. Then he came to Amber and knelt on the ground. "I was defeated by a guy. Now the media outside say I am a loser."

"Everyone will encounter setbacks, this is normal, but the difference between people lies in how they overcome difficulties."

Amber put her hand on his head and said, "Kid, do you want to sink into despair, or do you want to say goodbye to your weak self in the past and become a true savior?"

"I want to be the savior!!"

Homelander answered immediately, but after he finished speaking, he became depressed again: "But I can't beat that guy."

“I will help you.”

Amber said softly: "The person who hurt you will never appear again. What you need to do now is to become the master of Water Company and let everyone hear only one voice instead of letting a group of ants tell you what to do."

"Is this really possible?"

In fact, the Chinese have had this idea for a long time, but until now, there have been too many issues to consider and they have been unable to take action.

Although he has a domineering and egoistic personality, he is not stupid and is very good at disguise.

If there is no justifiable reason, it will be impossible to take over the company even if those people are killed.

"Just because it wasn't possible before doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future."

Amber smiled and said, "Aren't your opponents very dissatisfied with Vought Corporation? As long as you don't work so hard at some point, let them kill those damned people, and then you come out as a savior, then there will naturally be no more opposition voices."

"Father."

Homelander's eyes lit up, "Thank you, father."

"It's okay. You're the only one who inherited my genes."

Amber smiled and shook her head: "John, go in the direction you want."

"oh, I understand now."

The mood of the people in our motherland has completely changed. There is no longer the confusion and decadence as before.

He is a man who can save the world, not a beast tied to a rope.

It's time for those guys who do nothing but give orders to come down!
In a park somewhere in the city.

The man with disheveled hair and a foul odor was curled up, his body shaking with hunger.

Robben hadn't eaten for two days. Even though there were free welfare meals, he had never eaten once.

The deception and betrayal of lovers, the brokenness of a happy and harmonious family, and the life that was once full of light turned dark in just a few days.

What's the point of living like this?
It would be better to just die like this, Robben thought to himself.

“Death solves nothing.”

I don't know when a figure appeared beside him.

Robben's eyes rolled slightly, but quickly retracted.

"I do not know you."

He tilted his face with the birthmark to the ground and said, "I don't have anything valuable on me. If you want to get something from me, you'd better not waste your time."

"You misunderstood, child."

Amber turned around and revealed the smiling mask on her face: "A person's value should not be measured by external things. You have a soul of gold, which is priceless in my opinion."

"Hehe, soul?"

Robben laughed softly upon hearing this.

When he was humiliated and betrayed by his girlfriend, he only felt pain and anger, but as misfortunes occurred at home, the "truth" he heard from his parents became the source of his despair.

It turns out that I have never been loved, and everything I felt before was just a lie.

He had long been extremely disappointed with human nature.

Therefore, when I heard the word "soul", I couldn't help but laugh subconsciously.

"Yes."

Amber leaned over and squatted. "Do you hate those who have hurt you? Do you hate the injustice of fate?"

"What can hatred do?"

Robben said with a hollow look in his eyes: "What else can I do?"

One's own powerlessness leads to the deepest despair.

"Sell me your soul."

Amber took out the advanced version of potion No. 5 and said, "From today on, follow my footsteps and let the world feel your pain. Let those who don't know how to cherish know what is truly precious."

"Who are you exactly?"

Looking at the liquid emitting a faint blue light, Robben was shocked. As for the soul, it seemed that it no longer mattered.

For a person who wants to die, there is nothing worth lingering on in this world.

“People outside call us terrorists, but in my opinion, we are the real saviors of this world.”

It was not Amber who answered Robben, but Jenny and Hughie beside her.

"The savior?"

Robben curled his lips and said, "I don't know why you came to me, but I agreed. If you want souls or anything like that, just take it. It doesn't matter if you turn into a demon."

At this moment, he was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. Even though he knew it might be an illusion, he was still unwilling to let go.

After all, there was nothing to lose.

"Well, welcome aboard, my friend."

Amber personally took out the syringe and slowly injected the No. 5 medicine into his vein.

As Robben fell into hallucination, the last bit of sunset in the sky disappeared, replaced by an extremely gloomy cloud.

"Boss, the seven-member team is almost destroyed. Do you have any plans for the next step?"

Jenny asked.

"Now that we have officially debuted, we naturally need to let the world see our attitude."

Amber looked up at the sky and said, "Let those lambs know that when they are truly desperate, the only one they can rely on is themselves, not some superhero."
