American comics: Extracting the immortality of cancer cells at the beginning

"Bang!"

The door of the conference room was slammed open.

"I didn't expect you all to be here..."

With his hands behind his back and crow's feet extending to his temples, Homelander walked in with a fake smile and came to the center of the conference room.

Just in front of Jonathan and Kate.

"Hey, you two, your clothes are nice... Especially, your black uniform."

"It's a bit like me."

Homelander smiled hypocritically, his eyes only stayed on the two of them for less than two seconds before he quickly glanced away and turned his head to the electronic screen in the center of the conference room, which Edgar used for video conferencing.

"Mr. Edgar... I heard that there is a captain rotation meeting today? I'm not late... Well, so, what should I do?"

"It's very simple, Homelander, you just need to hand the captain's armband on the table to Wujin, and then take a photo together."

"Photo?"

Hearing this, Homelander's skilled fake smile suddenly became stiff, and his whole face was full of gloom.

"Yes, take a group photo."

"The captain's change ceremony should be specially recorded, and then the photo should be uploaded to the official website of the Seven Team to be made into a web poster."

"Homelander, do you have any opinions?"

On the electronic screen, Edgar's expression did not change at all.

The calm eyes without any emotional fluctuations made Homelander's originally suppressed nerves begin to jump.

Damn Edgar...

Homelander twitched his eyes violently, suppressing the emotions that were about to erupt. He first opened his hands and put on a generous smile.

Then, he came to the conference table, picked up the captain's armband, and walked in front of Jonathan.

"Congratulations, newcomer... As a senior, I am very proud of you, but I can tell you seriously that being a captain... is not that easy, and..."

Then, Homelander put the armband on Jonathan's palm with one hand, then leaned forward and whispered to Jonathan with gritted teeth:

"Not just anyone can be the captain."

"Listen, I don't care what dirty tricks you used to get here, and don't think you can order me around just because you are the captain of the seven-man team. You are not qualified."

"And I can tell you very clearly that if you want to do this, you will become a bunch of disgusting minced meat floating on the Atlantic Ocean tomorrow"

"Get it?"

After that, Homelander restrained his gnashing teeth, and then returned to his usual fake smile with a normal expression.

He still had one hand left, and he placed it on Jonathan's shoulder and patted it symbolically.

"Keep up the good work and don't let us down."

After saying that, Homelander took his other hand away from Jonathan's hand, revealing his palm, which had been squeezed into a shapeless iron block.

"Oh, sorry, I was a little too strong, you don't mind, do you?"

Homelander looked at the armband, covered his mouth exaggeratedly, and made a bluffing expression of "I didn't mean it".

Jonathan was not angry when he saw A Zu performing hard, but smiled gently:

"It's okay, there are many such armbands... But as a junior, I only know one thing.

The person in charge of the Seven seems to be Mr. Edgar, senior, if you have any suggestions, you can give him feedback."

Jonathan was telling the truth.

As the executive president of the Water Group, Edgar basically has to approve and handle the affairs of the entire company, especially the Seven, a pseudo-superhero organization that mainly makes profits.

To put it bluntly, as long as Edgar is willing, Homelander will be completely hidden and banned with just one order.

Why?

Because A-Zu, who grew up in the Water Laboratory, was guided to create a "weakness" for checks and balances since childhood, and this "weakness" is the recognition of the world and the vanity that he wants to get by any means.

It can be said that if Homelander is hidden and banned, it is no different from killing him. At that time, he was not only mentally ill, but also did not experience the subsequent blackening process.

It is too easy to control him.

"You, can you say it again."

Homelander originally wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't expect Jonathan to be so ignorant and dare to say such words to him.

"Tell me, do you want to die?"

Then his eyes began to turn red, veins bulged, and the whole person was about to fall into a hideous state of madness.

At this moment, Edgar's voice came from the electronic screen behind the motherland:

"Actually, he is right. If you have any opinions, you can come to my office directly.

Don't forget, the captain rotatesIn addition to the group photo, the ceremony also took photos of the meeting process. "

Edgar's words directly caught the weakness of the Homelander, making it difficult for him to get angry.

If these photos are really leaked, then his support rate will definitely drop by dozens of percentage points.

"Just wait for me."

Homelander glared at Jonathan fiercely, then honestly cooperated to complete the subsequent handover process, and then took photos.

After the meeting, Homelander quickly disappeared from the scene, and went upstairs to question Edgar.

"Bang"

Homelander walked into Edgar's president's office with a gloomy face and slammed the door.

"Edgar! I have contributed so much to the group, and you actually let a newcomer replace me... I need an explanation."

Homelander supported his hands on the desk, leaned forward, and stared at Edgar.

Seeing this, Edgar took off his glasses calmly, folded them, and said slowly:

"Homelander, calm down, don't break my desk. ”

“You run a superhero company, but you never think about caring about your superheroes, right?”

“For example… let me think about it, letting a damned piece of trash just get stuffed into the Seven.”

Homelander sneered.

“Oh? So you think you should approve the recruitment of Wujin?”

“Why not? I approved the participation of the other members. I am the leader of the Seven.”

“I respect every member of the Super Seven.”

“But I don’t think you respect me much. No, even Madeline doesn’t dare to play this trick on me.”

As he spoke, Homelander’s expression began to become more and more ferocious.

“You obviously know how important you are to the other people in Vought Group.”

“No, no, Edgar, speaking of which, my contract expires at the end of this year. Maybe it’s time for me to do something else… How do you think your shareholders will feel about this? "

Hearing the seemingly determined tone of his countryman, Edgar was a little amused. He walked to the white wall, under a huge portrait of a man.

"Hehe... How much do you know about Frederick Walter?"

"What?"

"Frederick, our respected founder, is not the profit-seeking nonsense that I brainwashed those shareholders with, but his true story."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"He obtained a doctorate in Munich, and his genetics attainments were far ahead of his time. He was such a young man with a promising future...

Hitler appointed him as the chief physician of the Dachau concentration camp in 1939, and provided him with existing human bodies to test the initial version of Compound No. 5."

"Of course, we strongly condemn his actions."

"In 1944, he realized that the war situation had changed and fled to the Allies. When Oppenheimer was still studying the atomic bomb, Dr. Walter had already used the clinically tested Compound No. 5. ”

“Heroes like Soldier Boy slaughtered batches of Germans, and Roosevelt pardoned him. Later, he became as well-known as Disney and Edison.”

“Well, this story is wonderful, although it has some admonitions... But I don’t understand the point you are making, Edgar.”

Edgar was silent for a while, and then responded to the motherland contemptuously:

“The point is, if you only think we are a superhero company, then you are wrong. We are actually a pharmaceutical company.”

“And you are not our most valuable asset. The most valuable is the secret formula we use to make Compound No. 5, but that was leaked to the world by you, a giant baby.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Then let me remind you that you secretly supplied Compound No. 5 to terrorists all over the world in order to allow you and your teammates to enter the national defense system.”

“But the price may be to destroy the entire company. "

Edgar's eyes made Homelander shudder.

"I don't like your tone, sir."

"You are just a product, so you know how to position yourself...Okay, I'm still busy, so I won't send it."

Homelander couldn't gain an advantage, and the bunch of harsh words he had prepared were useless. He could only glare at Edgar fiercely, turn around and slam the door.

Night.

He came to the roof alone, looking at the full moon above his head, and the anger and frustration in his heart reached the peak.

"Fuck me... I can do whatever I want, and no one can control me!"

Homelander's eyes glowed red, and he suppressed his roar at the sky until he leaned back and roared.Calm.

After the incident, his eyes turned cold and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"That's right, a superhuman terrorist... a newcomer, this is enough for you to drink a pot."
