Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1552 Development of Events
In this complex world where people with super powers and business giants are intertwined, Vought Corporation has always used its Super Seven as its biggest signboard, carefully creating a perfect image to the outside world that the members of the Seven are all elite and kind.

For a long time, the public has been influenced by Vought Corporation's overwhelming propaganda and firmly believes that these superheroes who shout slogans of saving the world are moral role models and the embodiment of justice.

However, who could have imagined that behind the glamorous appearance, there was such an unbearable secret hidden - the superhero who usually appeared to be so majestic in front of the public and claimed to be saving the world was actually thinking of taking advantage of the new members behind the scenes.

Madeline, a core executive of Water Company, is almost driven crazy by this sudden scandal.

After attacking the Minister of the Black Chapter Department, Homelander was arrested and has not been heard from since. Even prison visits are not allowed.

The series of hidden dangers caused by Homelander had finally been resolved, and Vought Corporation's plan to join the military-industrial complex was also progressing quite smoothly, and the situation was very good.

But at this critical juncture, Xingguang revealed such a shocking news.

There is no doubt that this is a huge scandal that is enough to shake the foundation of Vought Corporation.

Many congressmen who have always been opposed to Vought Corporation and superheroes, like sharks smelling blood, immediately seized this opportunity and used this matter as a powerful weapon to attack Vought Corporation, questioning the discipline of superheroes after joining the military system.

Although the discipline of the military system they belong to is really poor, this does not prevent them from making a big fuss about it.

The progress of Water Company was instantly hindered by this scandal, and various plans that were originally progressing smoothly had to be put on an emergency brake.

Madeline knew that this storm must be quelled as soon as possible, otherwise Water Company would face an unprecedented crisis.

The first thing she thought of was to go directly to Xingguang and try to make this new member who had just joined the group of seven shut up, or even deny the previous revelations.

However, Madeline underestimated Starlight's confidence.

At this time, Xingguang had the support of the Black Chapter Department and had recorded evidence that was sufficient to prove the facts. She was not afraid of Madeline's threats at all.

Not only that, Starlight also cleverly used the company's stock price as a bargaining chip to put pressure on Madeline in turn.

Madeleine was at a loss as to what to do for a moment.

Since she couldn't break through from the Starlight side, Madeline could only turn her attention to the other protagonist of the incident - the deep sea.

Since it was Shen Hai who caused the trouble, he will have to bear the consequences.

However, Shen Hai was arrested by the Black Chapter Department for investigation long after the scandal was exposed, and no news has been released since then.

It is generally accepted by the outside world that the Black Chapter Department has already initiated internal trial procedures.

The reason why the Black Chapter Department is able to cover up everything is largely due to the fact that they have their own internal court.

This internal court is similar to a military court, but its trials are mainly against people with super powers.

This alone gives the Black Chapter Department enormous power, as they can adjudicate the violations of superpower users without too much interference from the outside world.

From the perspective of Water Company, the unspoken rules within the team are not a big deal, and similar situations may not be uncommon in previous internal operations.

But this time it was different. Starlight chose to expose the matter to the public, which forced Water Company to face up to and deal with the problem.

Otherwise, the company's image will be completely ruined, and all previous efforts will be wasted. Therefore, Water Company quickly issued an announcement, claiming that in order to protect the glorious image of the Seven, it decided to remove Deep Sea from the list of the Seven and directly expel him from the Super Seven.

This decision means that even if Shenhai is released from the Black Chapter Unit in the future, he will never have the chance to return to the Super Seven.

This announcement by Water Company triggered doubts from many black fans, who left messages on the Internet, mocking the Super Seven for their remaining image.

After all, it had only been a short while since Homelander attacked the Minister of the Black Chapter and he was arrested, and now there was a scandal involving Deepsea trying to take advantage of Starlight. This series of events had already greatly damaged the image of the Super Seven in the public's mind.

Although Deep Sea was punished by Water Company, Starlight, as another protagonist of this incident, did not feel happy at all.

After hiding in the deep sea, Water Company immediately started the next step.

They used this incident to create a new image for Xingguang as someone who dares to speak out and represents women's rights.

Through carefully planned public relations activities and media publicity, Starlight's fame was further enhanced by the deep-sea incident.

This is actually Madeline's coping strategy as the vice president.

In her opinion, Shen Hai's reputation has been severely damaged and his commercial value has been greatly reduced. Instead of keeping him, it would be better to let Shen Hai serve as a stepping stone for the new member Xing Guang, to lift Xing Guang up and thus gain higher commercial value.

This fully demonstrates the shrewdness and ruthlessness of Water Company as a business giant. As the saying goes: the banker never loses.

It is conceivable that Vought's next plan will inevitably be to use the star power that has become the new public benchmark for the Seven to help promote the importance of Vought's joining the military-industrial complex.

At this time, Butcher Billy Butcher, a man full of hatred for people with super powers and who acts ruthlessly and decisively, began his own actions again.

Because the CIA can no longer help him.

His goal is unwavering, and that is Homelander, a superhero who was once like a god in the eyes of the public but is actually unworthy of his reputation and has a long history of bad deeds.

Of course, in the Butcher's plan, it would be best if he could take advantage of the situation to deal with those other superheroes who are only in name only.

With this idea in mind, the butcher resolutely recommended himself to the Black Robe Patrol, hoping to join the powerful black robe patrol team.

"Billy Butcher, I know you."

Chang Wei sat in his spacious and majestic office. The layout of the office was simple yet solemn. Last time, it was the CIA's Deputy Director Susan who brought the butcher in here, but this time, it was the butcher who came here on his own initiative.

"The White Emperor."

The butcher raised his head and looked straight at Chang Wei.

In his eyes, Chang Wei, the man respected as the "White Emperor", controls the all-powerful Black Chapter Department, and his power is rarely matched in this world.

The Black Chapter tribe covers the sky with one hand, and the White Emperor is invincible.

Although this sentence may not be a direct translation in America, the meaning of supremacy and control over everything is the same.
