Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1547: Water Company's Stock Price Plummets
The people of the motherland don’t know how much time has passed outside, nor do they know whether they have been completely forgotten by the world.

However, outside this narrow cell, Vought Corporation has not given up its rescue plan for Homelander.

They are well aware of the value and influence of "Homelander", and once he is freed, it will bring huge benefits to the company.

So, they began to use the pressure of public opinion to try to force the Hei Zhang tribe to surrender and release the "motherlanders".

Outside the Hei Zhangbu building, a group of emotional protesters gathered.

They held high in their hands a variety of slogans with colorful colors and eye-catching fonts, each of which carried a desire for justice and an accusation against injustice.

Slogans rose one after another, surging like waves, echoing over the city, demanding the immediate release of the detained "fatherlanders" and severely accusing the Black Chapter Department of abusing its power and suppressing innocent people.

This protest was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, quickly arousing widespread attention and discussion in society.

Media reporters flocked to the scene. Under the camera, the protesters' faces were resolute and persistent. Their voices were transmitted to thousands of households through airwaves and the Internet.

On social media, discussions about this matter continued to heat up, and public pressure snowballed, posing an unprecedented challenge to the Black Chapter Department.

However, as a deep-rooted force, the Black Chapter Tribe has such a deep foundation and strong strength that it cannot be easily shaken.

They wield enormous power and resources and are able to mobilize a variety of means to respond to all forms of challenges.

More importantly, Chang Wei, the actual ruler of the Black Chapter Department, does not care about the public opinion of America.

In his view, these protesters are just like ants trying to stop a tree and cannot pose any substantial threat to him.

"Vought Corporation is still struggling with the so-called 'Homelander' incident."

Chang Wei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, looking deeply at the brightly lit building in the distance.

On the screens in the building, promotional advertisements for Water Corporation's new seven giants were being played in an attempt to restore the company's reputation and stock price.

As one of the most well-known superhero teams in America, Vought Corporation's Super Seven has always attracted much attention.

However, with the retirement of Lamplighter and the arrest of Homelander, the team is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Because the Lamplighter was targeted by the CIA, in order to prevent him from bringing harm to the reputation of the Super Seven, Vought Corporation had to force him to retire early and hide him to avoid the CIA's pursuit.

As for Homelander, because he surrendered and confessed to attacking the Minister of the Black Chapter Department, he is now imprisoned in the secret prison of the Black Chapter Department and cannot serve the Super Seven.

The imprisonment of "Homelander" was like a heavy hammer, hitting the stock price of Water Company.

As the soul of the team, the image of "Homelander" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. His absence not only greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Super Seven, but also seriously damaged the company's brand image.

In the stock market, Water's share price continued to fall, its market value evaporated by more than 5 billion US dollars, and investor confidence was severely undermined.

In order to save the situation, Vought Corporation had to launch an emergency public relations plan, trying to reshape the image of superheroes through public opinion guidance, while speeding up the selection of new members to inject fresh blood and boost team morale.

Although Vought Company urgently launched a public relations crisis response mechanism and tried to save the situation through public opinion guidance, the effect was not ideal. Although fans have deep feelings for the Super Seven, in the face of reality, they have to re-examine the value and significance of this team.

In the conference room at Water Corporation headquarters, a heated discussion was taking place.

The new members of the Big Seven have been confirmed, and the 25-year-old female superhero, Starlight, from Des Moines, Idaho, is about to become the newest member of the Super Seven.

Her appearance undoubtedly injected new vitality into the team.

Ashley stood in front of the conference table and reported to Madeline about Xingguang's background and performance: "She showed extraordinary wisdom and courage in the interview. Her two sentences, 'Hope is synonymous with naivety' and 'If it's not to save the world, why be a superhero', have attracted widespread attention and discussion online. Her remarks touched the hearts of countless people."

Madeline listened to Ashley's report with a satisfied smile on her face.

In the context of the new era, the image and connotation of superheroes are undergoing profound changes.

Traditional heroism can no longer meet the needs of modern society. People are more eager to see superheroes who can truly represent justice, have the courage to take responsibility, and are full of responsibility.

And Starlight is just such a superhero that meets the needs of the times.

"She also leads among 18- to 49-year-olds in the Midwest and conservative Catholics."

Ashley continued, “This speaks volumes about her influence and appeal among the people.”

Madeline nodded in agreement.

As one of the core brands of Vought Corporation, the selection and image building of the members of Super Seven are crucial to the future development of the company.

The addition of Starlight will undoubtedly inject a new force into the Super Seven and enhance the overall image and strength of the team.

"Okay, let the marketing department mainly promote the two sentences she said."

Madeline made a decisive decision. In this era of information explosion, a successful public relations strategy can often turn a crisis into an opportunity, and these two sentences from Starlight were exactly the "golden key" they needed to open the door to public trust.

"At the same time, we must strengthen cooperation with other media to expand the visibility and influence of Starlight. We want the whole world to know that the Super Seven is still the team full of justice, courage and fearlessness."

As Madeline's decision came into effect, Water Company quickly launched a full-scale publicity campaign.

Xingguang's image appeared in every corner of the city, from billboards on the streets to various channels on TV and the Internet. Her smile and her vows became the topic of conversation among people.

At the same time, Vought Company has also carefully planned a series of charity activities, inviting celebrities to participate in them, demonstrating the social responsibility of superheroes through practical actions and further consolidating their positive image in the public's mind.

Her joining not only brought new vitality to the Super Seven, but also gradually stabilized and rebounded the stock price of Vought Company.

But it's still nothing compared to when we were in our homeland.
