Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Chapter 187 The first cooperation with Newman

Newman's fierce pursuit of this matter made Kevin frown deeply.

The reporters noticed this and gathered around him to take pictures.

The flash kept lighting up on Kevin, capturing all of his expressions at the moment into the camera.

Kevin took a deep breath, relaxed his mood, and smiled again:

"Walter is not completely unprepared for this. I think you all should be aware of the Seven's recent actions against super villains."

"If you mean that the people of the motherland accidentally killed a civilian in the process of fighting against super villains, then we do know about it."

Newman continued without mercy.

At the same time, the things that the people of the motherland did in the previous period were brought out.

As soon as this topic came up, the surrounding air seemed to be a little quieter. Kevin's smile instantly faded. Even the people from the motherland who were watching TV almost squeezed the remote control in their hands.

"The conclusion on this matter has not yet been determined. We will not discuss it here. And having said that, Ms. Newman."

Kevin looked at Newman and pointed the finger at her:

"If I remember correctly, this is Walt's press conference. In what capacity are you asking me? As a member of Congress? Or as a reporter?

"If it's the former, please make an appointment before talking to me. If it's the latter, please abide by the on-site rules and don't ask random questions, okay."

"..."

After Kevin said this, Newman shut up.

Just as the representative of this protest march, Newman actually did not have the right to question Kevin at the press conference.

Their dialogue should be conducted in a more rigorous place.

Newman's behavior has crossed the line for the Vought Group.

So after Newman smiled at Kevin, he followed the rules and stopped asking questions.

But it was useless for Newman not to speak now. The topics she raised inspired the reporters around her.

After Newman, more reporters started asking her the questions she had just mentioned.

"Deep Sea! Can you explain the behavior of the people of the motherland who accidentally killed ordinary people?"

"Please also answer the question that Congressman Newman just asked directly. How is your group going to deal with the super villains?"

"Has Compound No. 5 really been recycled? Or are you doing something more extreme with Compound No. 5?"

The questions are getting sharper than the last, and any question here will be answered incorrectly if you are not careful, causing the Watt Group to fall into a complete public opinion turmoil.

But when faced with reporters' questions, Kevin was well prepared.

He slowly took off the gold-rimmed glasses on his face and said to everyone sincerely:

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. Please be quiet."

Fortunately, the reporters present gave Kevin some face. After Kevin finished speaking, they all fell silent and waited for Kevin to speak.

Kevin's eyes wandered over the reporters, and after waiting for a moment, he said slowly:

"I know that everyone does not trust Walt, because Walt has done many things that have hurt everyone, superheroes accidentally injured ordinary people when enforcing the law, or superheroes have done some excessive things, which have led to everyone's distrust of superheroes. I know all about disgust.

“But if you don’t believe in those superheroes, you should at least believe in me, not as the president of Vought Group, but as ‘Deep Sea’.

"Who saved an entire cruise ship at sea? Who saved the people on Flight 37? Yesterday at the tourist attraction, who stopped the derailed roller coaster and saved 24 lives on it?

"Although I don't want to take credit, and I don't want everyone to think that I am a guy who loves success, but here I have to say that it was me, it was me who saved them, and I saved countless families, so that they can laugh and accompany their families at home. I am also a human being.

"In your eyes, I should be considered a hero, right?"

Kevin paused here to give everyone time to think and react.

A reporter was silent for a long time and suddenly asked:

"What do you want to say?"

Kevin looked at the reporter and faced the camera:

“What I want to say is that you don’t have to believe in the Vought Group or what their senior management is doing, but I hope you can believe me.

"I believe I can lead Walter and give an explanation to all those who were harmed by Compound No. 5, and I believe I can deal with the super villains.

“Yes, Watt Group has done a lot of wrong things under the leadership of Edgar and the previous CEOs, but the person in charge of Watt Group now is me, not Kevin, but Deep Sea.

“So, I promise as Deep Sea that we will definitely deal with the super villains and not let any super villains threaten your life safety.

"This may be difficult, and it is not something that can be solved in a short time, but I will lead the Walt Group and the new hero team to continue working hard until the super villains completely disappear from the world!"

Kevin said impassionedly.

The tough questions from reporters also disappeared.

Because they think Kevin is right. No matter what the previous Vought Group was like, the person who is now in charge of Vought Group is the former superhero Deep Sea who has saved countless people.

Many people present are fans of Deep Sea, and they also believe that Deep Sea will fulfill his promise and lead the Walt Group to solve the super villains who threaten everyone's safety.

After Kevin finished speaking, there was a long silence.

When everyone realized what Kevin had said, a reporter finally asked:

"Wait a minute, Deep Sea, you just said...a new hero team? What does this mean? Why not a team of seven?"

“This is a plan that I have been working on recently, because I know that what has happened recently has made everyone feel distrustful of many superheroes, and many people even think that some superheroes are incompetent.

"So Walt is going to discuss with the government to create a [Superheroes Association] that can manage all superheroes. Here, the actions of the heroes will be supervised, and... all dissatisfaction and complaints against superheroes can be sent here. Come.

"The [Superhero Association] plan is currently just a prototype, but I believe that when the [Superhero Association] is established, there will be fewer and fewer super villains in the world until it becomes what I said, and there will be no more super villains. Evil men threaten you."

Kevin used Po Xia Donkey's advice to completely expose his plan to the public.

Reporters were talking a lot, and cameras and cameras took a close-up of Kevin in all directions.

Later, a reporter asked:

"Then if the association is established, will you be the president of the association?"

"No, how is that possible? I am the president of Walter Group, but I don't have the energy to be the president anymore, unless you want to exhaust me to death."

Kevin said jokingly, eliciting chuckles from a few fans of 'The Deep' below.

After that, Kevin said seriously:

"At that time, the president of the association will be the best person in the seven-man team, that is, the captain of the seven-man team, but... the specifics will have to wait until the association is actually established."

Kevin left a suspense here and did not officially say who the future president of the Super League Association would be.

But if he says this, everyone will think that the future president of the association will be a native of the motherland.

Because the current captain of the seven-man team is a native of the motherland.

Including the people of the motherland themselves think so.

But in fact, Kevin never said that the captain of the seven-man team would always be a native of the motherland.

A press conference lasted for a long time before it ended. After the press conference ended, various news about Kevin also appeared on hot searches and newspaper headlines.

By the way, after the meeting, Newman’s unsightly expression was photographed by someone and posted online.

Many people laughed at Newman's overestimation.

Little did they know that Newman gained more attention from Congress.

After all, there are not many people who dare to confront the Walter Group now.

Congresswoman Victoria Newman is indeed the bravest fighter today.

Everyone thought so, including people who didn't like Newman, but they never imagined that the fighter they saw as targeting the Vought Group openly questioned Kevin at the press conference, almost making Kevin unable to get off stage. Newman is drinking with Kevin at home.

"cheers."

The red wine glasses collided with each other, and the liquid inside swayed from side to side. Kevin drank the red wine in one gulp and smiled at Newman:

"You did a good job today. Your approval rating in Congress has increased again, right?"

"It hasn't risen much, but it's far behind compared to you."

Newman also smiled and complimented.

Kevin's 'performance' today not only increased Newman's approval rating, but also improved the reputation of Watt Group.

Because everyone understands that the current Walter is not the Walter of Edgar, but the Walter of the Deep Sea.

They don't believe in those capitalists, they don't believe in those superior guys.

They only believe in the superhero Deep who is willing to save them and actually works hard to do so.

Therefore, they are willing to believe in the Watt Group led by Shenhai.

The double act between Kevin and Newman is quite perfect. They each get what they want without saying anything, and they also perfectly resolve the public opinion issues that the Watt Group needs to face at this stage.

After drinking with each other to celebrate, Newman asked:

"Speaking of which, are you really going to establish what kind of...super-English association? Are you going to let a person from the motherland be the president?"

"That's what I think for the time being, but I'm still thinking about the specifics. You don't need to care about these, you just need to ensure that your status in Congress is improved."

Kevin said, suddenly taking out a blue potion from his pocket and placing it in front of Newman:

"Besides, this is what I promised you."

Compound No. 5.

Newman will simply and decisively side with Kevin and become his pawn in Congress, not only because she has no choice, but also because Kevin promised her to give her Compound No. 5.

Newman's weakness is her daughter Zoe. Newman knew a long time ago that if she didn't give Zoe superpowers, her daughter would probably be bullied when she left for something later.

So she kept begging Edgar to give her Compound No. 5, but Edgar would always change the subject at critical moments.

From that moment on, Newman knew that Edgar regarded her more as a prop that could be controlled than as a daughter or lover.

It is impossible to say that Edgar had no feelings for Newman, but compared with his ambition, his feelings for Newman were indeed weak.

Now, with Edgar having an accident and being hospitalized, Kevin has fulfilled his promise to Newman and placed Compound No. 5 in front of Newman.

This made Newman even more loyal to Kevin.

Looking at Compound No. 5 on the table, Newman reached out to pick it up.

But was stopped by Kevin:

"You have to think carefully, becoming a superhuman is not a good thing. If your daughter has rubbish superpowers, you have no regrets."

"...I trust Zoe because she's my daughter."

Newman said seriously.

In addition to the fact that superpowers can be inherited, if the offspring of superhumans do not have superpowers and are injected with compound No. 5, there is a certain chance that they will awaken the same superpowers as their parents.

Newman knew this, so she was convinced that Zoe would awaken the same abilities as her.

Seeing that Newman had indeed thought about it, Kevin stopped trying to persuade him.

He picked up the glass and gestured to Newman:

"Then I wish you success."

"Thanks."

After accepting Compound No. 5 from Kevin, Newman thanked him again.

Originally, Kevin took Edgar's place, and Newman didn't feel much special yet.

But now Newman feels that it seems pretty good that his boss has been replaced by Kevin.
