At night, a cordon was set up outside the ruins of the villa.
At the door of the original villa, there was a row of dead superhumans, all covered with white cloth, without a trace of life.
Walking through this open-air "morgue", Xingguang watched a seriously injured superhuman get on the ambulance, and then came to MM with a sigh.
"Let's get started."
Xingguang's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
"Now Butcher and the others have left, and it just so happens that I am the only superhuman present... I don't know why the locomotive was also sent to the hospital."
"Annie, listen, this is not a good idea."
MM hugged her chest, her face a little solemn.
"My motherland helped me become an American sweetheart, he will regret it."
Xingguang took a deep breath, opened the live broadcast room on his mobile phone, and then handed the phone to MM, with tears flashing in his eyes.
MM had no choice but to grab the phone and point it at Annie.
"Are you ready?"
Xingguang calmed down and started talking to the camera.
"I'm in Montpelier, Vermont right now. 12 superheroes and civilians are dead, and many are injured."
"Homelander and Vought will tell everyone that this was done by the super villains and they have solved the problem."
"Actually, they didn't."
At this point, Starlight continued to organize his words.
"This was done by Soldier Boy... I know this sounds like nonsense, but Soldier Boy doesn't care about protecting Americans, and he may never have cared."
"It can be said that most superheroes don't care about you at all, they only care about their own image."
"And Homelander... is the worst of them."
These words were like a heavy bomb, which instantly caused an uproar on the Internet. Netizens discussed in the comment area, and various horrified expressions kept swiping the screen.
"He hurt a lot of people, and he also did something to Queen Maeve. I don't know how they will deal with me after I tell the truth, but I will continue."
"I should have exposed them earlier, I'm sorry."
"One more thing, I'm no longer Starlight, my name is Anne Newaire, I'm done with this."
Five days later.
"Special report from Water News: A nation betrayed"
"Starlight live broadcast: It's been five days, nothing but Water's lies, Soldier Boy hasn't been caught, Queen Maeve is still missing."
On the big screen of Water News Live, the recording of Starlight's speech in the live broadcast room in the past few days was played.
"Let's say it again, Maeve is undergoing rehabilitation treatment, and the Soldier Boy thing is complete nonsense. He died in 1984, and Starlight is just trying to incite panic."
Ashley, who is in charge of the public relations of the Seven, sat in the live broadcast room, looking very imposing on the surface, but doing public relations with a guilty conscience.
"Does she betray the Federation?"
"I want to know, too."
"Is Starlight just hysterical?"
"Another woman who expressed resentment after being abandoned by Homelander?"
"That's right..."
Here, Ashley was doing public relations, and on the other side, Homelander was also giving speeches all over the country to maintain his support rate, trying to distance himself from this matter.
Jonathan, the captain, and his girlfriend Kate also finished their speeches and returned to the Seven-Man Tower to help Walter stabilize the public opinion situation.
It is worth mentioning that Jonathan also brought Hughie to his office and asked him to learn to help him.
"Boss, since you know that something will happen to the River Crab Club, why don't you go down and help in person?"
Hughie asked curiously while operating the computer. The display screen showed a newspaper reporter who had been incorporated into Hydra.
"In fact, it's useless for me to go. Homelander can fly. Do you think I can catch up with him with my ability?"
Jonathan held the black coffee that Kate brewed by hand and blew it gently.
That being said, Jonathan is actually not afraid of Homelander's strength. His biggest goal now is to take over the Water Company. If he rashly breaks off relations with Homelander and goes to war, then Water can only be treated as cannon fodder.
Rather than letting Hydra start from scratch as a newly built company, it is better to embrace the whole package directly. Jonathan calls this a catch-all.
Therefore, Jonathan let the plot develop on its own and enter a state that can be controlled and not derailed.
Not only that, Water is now in a public relations crisis. As the future owner, Jonathan must of course make good use of the newly incorporated Hydra reporters to write news and control the group's public opinion...But this does not include Homelander.
You know, to really control Vought, you need to deal with two people.
The first one is the current group executive president Stan Edgar.
Jonathan doesn't have to worry about this, because his good son Newman will soon backstab him. In order to cooperate to become president, she turned Vought into Homelander's one-man show.
The second one is our sunny boy Zubao.
He grew up in Vought since he was a child, and has long regarded Vought industry as his own forbidden fruit, so if there is anything that endangers his position, he will do whatever it takes to "get it back on track."
The reason why Jonathan does not control Homelander's public opinion is also very obvious. He just wants to watch Homelander slowly lose what he cares about, and then break the defense.
At that time, he will definitely fight back against Jonathan with his Teddy, just like Homelander sent terrorists injected with temporary compound No. 5 to attack him.
At this time, Jonathan has a legitimate reason to fight back, and finally defeat Homelander and take over Vought Group.
Now, we just have to wait for Zu, the big fat fish, to slowly take the bait and see when he will bite the bait.
On the other side, at the home of Legend, the former vice president of Water.
Butcher walked out of the room helplessly and said to Legend who was watching TV:
"Old Ghost, the old soldier said there is no lubricant."
"Oh... the visitor is annoying, I was annoying from the beginning."
"Why, Old Ghost, isn't he the most popular superhero of your time? You two have known each other for so many years..."
"Remember the news about the Normandy Landing... In fact, two weeks after the Normandy Landing, the publicity was just a photo shoot, and he didn't even go to Germany."
"Spraying water with a fire hose in Birmingham, practicing shooting at Kent State University, and there are even rumors that he Giving Kennedy a head massage... They call it a good time."
"Old ghost, it seems that you guys in Walter have always been so shady..."
"The problem is, Americans need hero worship, what can we do?"
"We can only cover up the dirty side and create a mythical soldier boy for ourselves. Because of promoting this fairy tale, I have become rich."
"So he hasn't come out yet?"
"I don't know. It's been a day, and your two nannies in their seventies are still in there."
Butcher shrugged and gave Legend a helpless look.
