Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1578: Brokeback

They were not unaware that acting in this way would most likely anger the Water Company.

The influence of Water Company in the industry cannot be underestimated. The forces behind it are complex and intertwined. Once offended, subsequent troubles will probably continue.

However, in this era dominated by popularity and ratings, the temptation is too great.

For many news agencies, if they could seize the opportunity of the Super Seven's tragic defeat, it would be like holding a key to success, which would be enough to allow their own news agencies to stand out in the fiercely competitive industry. Not only would they reap huge economic benefits, but their reputation would also rise, and they would establish an authoritative image in the public eye as agencies that dare to reveal the truth and have first-hand information.

As for possible retaliation from Water Corporation in the future, some sharp-minded news agency owners have even already figured out how to deal with it.

They knew that even though they might face a lot of pressure and trouble in the future, as long as they could gain enough benefits from this incident, it would be a very wise choice to sell their shares in the news agency and cash out when the time was right.

In this way, we can not only enjoy the dividends brought by the current hot events, but also cleverly avoid the possible revenge of Water Company and get out of it safely.

Edgar, the president of Water Company, felt his head buzz and suddenly became bigger after seeing the shocking news footage on TV.

He sat in the spacious and bright president's office, his eyes fixed on the TV screen. The expression on his face gradually changed from initial astonishment to solemnity, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The impact of this incident will be like a domino effect, triggering a series of extremely serious chain reactions.

Almost at the same time, the directors of the board of directors also panicked and contacted Edgar anxiously.

The phone rang one after another, and each ring was like a death warrant, making Edgar feel even more depressed.

"What happened? Why did the motherland lose?"

The directors asked anxiously on the phone, their tone full of anxiety and anger.

The impact of this incident on Water Company is beyond imagination.

Both the Department of Defense and Congress have high expectations for Vought's operation.

Water Company is also ambitious and hopes to use this opportunity to successfully join the ranks of pharmaceutical companies that can compete with the Black Chapter.

Once they achieve their goal, they can then sell Compound No. 5 to the military.

You know, the military has a huge demand for this kind of compound with special effects. This will undoubtedly be a lucrative business that can bring a steady stream of huge wealth to Water Company and further consolidate its dominant position in the industry.

But now, everything has gone against our wishes, like a beautiful bubble that burst in an instant.

The Water Company had previously announced its action plan with great confidence and carried out all-round publicity, thinking that it would become famous and enjoy unlimited glory through this battle.

However, the reality was extremely cruel. In the confrontation with the superhuman terrorists, the Homelanders were completely unable to fight back and were defeated miserably.

What was even worse was that the entire scene of this disastrous defeat was filmed by reporters and broadcast live on the Internet and major news TV stations without reservation, quickly spreading to thousands of households. At this moment, it was impossible for Vought Company to handle and cover up this incident.

The news seemed to have wings and spread wildly in the world of the Internet.

Those savvy investors immediately realized the huge crisis that Water Company was about to face, and began to sell their shares and stocks in Water Company without hesitation.

In the stock market, Water's share price plummeted like a free fall, and its market value shrank significantly in a short period of time.

There was a panic within the company, and employees were discussing privately and worrying about their future.

The top executives of Water Company were like ants on a hot pan, anxiously running around, but they could not think of an effective solution for the time being. They could only watch the company fall into unprecedented difficulties.

Homelander was still suffering from a merciless beating, each attack was like a sledgehammer hitting his body, or more like a sharp blade piercing his self-esteem.

Making him look so disgraceful in front of the live camera was a thousand times more painful for him than killing him, as he always thought highly of himself and valued face more than life.

At this moment, the anger and humiliation in his heart were like a surging tide, almost drowning him completely, but the severe pain in his body and Sebastian Xiao's overwhelming strength made him unable to resist at all, and he could only allow the other party to humiliate him at will.

"From today on, I will become your fear, your nightmare..."

Sebastian Xiao's lips curled up into an icy, chilling smile, that smile was like frost and snow in the cold winter, chilling to the bone.

As a demonstration, he lifted Homelander easily above his head, his movements smooth and fluid, as if Homelander was just a weightless doll.

The photographer on the helicopter was like a vulture that had discovered its prey, his eyes wide open with greed and excitement, his hands tightly holding the camera, locking the lens on this shocking scene like a nail, not missing any subtle movements or expressions.

In the camera, the dusty and helpless appearance of Homelander was in stark contrast to the tall, mighty and confident image of Sebastian Shaw. The impactful picture quickly spread across the world through airwaves. Countless viewers were shocked in front of the screen. Social media was instantly flooded with this incident, and the eye of the storm of public opinion began to spin more and more violently.

The next moment, Sebastian Shaw raised his right leg, his leg muscles tensed, like a cheetah ready to pounce. At the same time, his hands were like two pliers, tightly grasping the hands and legs of Homelander.

Then, all the strength in his body exploded in an instant. His hands pressed down hard as if pushed by a powerful mechanical force, while his right knee pushed upward rapidly like a high-speed cannonball.

"No!"

The people of my country let out a heart-wrenching and desperate roar. The sound seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of their souls, filled with endless fear and unwillingness.

He clearly felt a pain in his back that was enough to make him faint. The pain was like a surging tide, hitting his nerves wave after wave. In an instant, he understood what Sebastian Shaw wanted to do - the other party wanted to break his spine completely in the most cruel way, making him a useless person who had lost all his dignity in front of the world.

There was a creepy "cracking" sound from his spine, like the whine of an old wooden bridge about to break under heavy pressure.
