In the evening, Newman stood in front of the window with a sad face, looking at the darkening sky outside the window, her heart was full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Just now, she hurriedly packed her luggage and waited until tomorrow morning to prepare to quietly leave the city with her daughter Zoe.
Not only is Newman Edgar's adopted daughter, she has witnessed dirty politics and super-British transactions since she was a child. She has cooperated with the arrogant bastard Homelander, and she knows how dangerous her current situation is.
She has great ambitions, but ambitions must always be matched with intact lives.
She didn't know the character of Jonathan, the captain of the Seven Team... Homelander alone is like this, and she doesn't dare to bet on others.
Especially after Homelander was defeated and the soldier boy was captured, with her keen perception of crisis, she dared to guarantee that things were definitely not as simple as the outside world spread.
Jonathan was able to monopolize the government, which means that he must have used some means. Otherwise... With Homelander's character, such a thing would never happen.
So these days, she and her daughter Zoe stayed at home, treading on thin ice, fearing that someone would find them.
Half a month passed like this, and she no longer wanted to endure this kind of life, so she decided to move with her daughter.
Just then, a sudden doorbell broke the silence in the house.
Half a month... No one except the messenger had come to ring the doorbell. Who was it?
Newman suddenly shuddered, looked at the door vigilantly, stepped back, and asked her daughter Zoe, who was still watching TV outside, to go back to her room and lock the door.
After doing this, she walked to the door carefully and looked out through the peephole.
When she saw who was coming, her heartbeat almost stopped for half a beat - it was Jonathan.
Is this... finally coming?
Newman took a deep breath and tried to calm her intense heartbeat. At this time, she was still wearing pajamas, and the beautiful scenery was leaking out, making her feel extremely uneasy both physically and mentally.
Despite this, she still opened the door.
"Good evening, Newman."
Jonathan said with a smile on his face. He was not wearing a uniform, but just a casual sportswear.
"Wu Jin, it's so late... Is there something wrong?"
Newman asked coldly, trying to hide his nervousness.
Jonathan first glanced at the room, and then his eyes fell on the suitcase behind Newman.
"It seems... I came at the right time. Do you want to move?"
Newman's heart sank. She didn't know if her plan had been exposed, so she could only bite the bullet and respond.
"Uh... I do want to take my daughter to the countryside for a walk, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right? If it's nothing, I'll see you off."
Jonathan chuckled and walked into the house without caring.
Newman's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously took a step back, but she still remained vigilant at all times.
She knew that her ability might be useless in front of Jonathan, but she was still ready to take action at any time.
Then his pupils turned slightly white, and his whole spirit was focused on the blood in Jonathan's brain, trying to manipulate them to detonate.
Jonathan looked at Newman who was performing hard in front of him, and he did feel the blood in his mind that was ready to move, but he was suppressed by him and dared not move the blood at all, so he looked at Newman with a smile.
Newman was also a smart person. When she saw Jonathan's meaningful smile, she knew that all her cards were useless at this time.
Despair... Doubt.
Newman stopped his ability and slumped on the sofa, with a look of powerlessness and unwillingness in his eyes.
"It seems that you know all my secrets."
"Don't be nervous, Newman."
Jonathan sat down on the sofa, calm and composed.
"In fact, I came here to talk to you."
Hearing these words, which were almost exactly the same as what Homelander had said when he first came to him, Newman subconsciously frowned and said:
"We have nothing to talk about."
"On the contrary, Newman, I'm not like Homelander, that giant baby, who plays a good card badly..."
Jonathan said, and his eyes met Newman's.
"We have a lot to talk about, such as your continued campaign for vice president."
Hearing this, Newman was suddenly stunned.
She didn't expect Jonathan to say such a thing. She had previously hired someone to assassinate Jonathan and instigated public opinion to spread rumors about him. This...
"Are you kidding?"
Jonathan shook his head, and the playful expression on his face became serious.
"Seriously. In fact, not only do I hope you continue to run, I also plan to push you to the position of vice president and fulfill your dream."
Newman looked at Jonathan in disbelief, trying to get hisLook for any trace of joke or deception in his expression.
But she found that Jonathan's eyes were very clear, and he really looked like he was thinking seriously.
"Why?"
Newman asked, his voice full of doubt.
Jonathan leaned lazily on the sofa.
"The situation is more complicated than you think, Newman. Although the Homelander is in trouble, it does not mean that I can continue to be in power. Some congressmen and some shareholders are afraid of influence and afraid that I will dominate the market."
"Coincidentally, I am a very lazy person... These power struggles are not as refreshing as my honeymoon with my girlfriend."
Newman slowly understood Jonathan's intentions.
"So... you need me to balance the situation?"
Jonathan nodded.
"Yes, your image in the public has always been good, and you have enough strength and experience in elections. In addition, you have been Edgar's black glove for many years, so you must be familiar with the operation."
Newman fell into deep thought after hearing this.
To be honest, this proposal is indeed tempting, but she is not sure whether Jonathan can be trusted, especially since the two were enemies before...
She doesn't believe that Jonathan is so kind that he would let her sit and take advantage of everything. Could it be... that he is greedy for her body?
Or, in a threesome... I must be wet?
"So, why do you think I will agree?"
Thinking of this... Newman turned his head and asked, with a hint of questioning in his voice.
Jonathan continued to smile and said:
"Because this is beneficial to both of us, you get power and security, and I get support and stability.
"And..."
He paused,
"Don't think too much, I'm not interested in you... I can arrange for your daughter to study at Godolkin University, with free tuition, free choice of college, and live in the best dormitory."
"Or let her find a reliable boyfriend. "
Hearing this, Newman was indeed moved.
As the top university for superhumans, she knew how difficult it was to get into Godokin University. When she was in the Red River Orphanage, she had hoped to get into this university.
But if you want a place, money alone is far from enough.
The key is to rely on connections.
If that's the case... then it's indeed possible.
Jonathan looked at the changes in Newman's eyes and face and knew that she had already made up her mind.
"A wise choice, Newman, happy cooperation."
Jonathan stretched out his hand and shook hands with Newman.
"Don't worry, I'm different from my countrymen... Fighting and killing is meaningless, and win-win cooperation is the main theme after all.
"When you actually take the position of Vice President, I will not restrict your freedom. I only need you to have the official certification of the Congress. As for the selection of the National Defense, you can take your time. There is still plenty of time."
