Chapter 1588 Soldier Boy: He is a tough guy
The soldier boy's eyes were fixed on the screen. In the video, he saw that Homelander was being severely beaten by Sebastian Shaw. He had no power to fight back and looked extremely miserable.

"what is this?"

The soldier boy couldn't help but ask Edgar, with a hint of doubt and curiosity in his voice.

In his eyes, Homelander's iconic cloak now looked like a costume that a child casually put on to look cool, which was funny and ridiculous.

On the contrary, Sebastian Shaw was wearing a black windbreaker, with an upright posture and a strong aura, and his every move exuded the charm of a mature man.

Especially when he started to speak, those highly inflammatory words seemed to carry an invisible force, going straight into the soldier boy's heart, making him instantly feel that this man was full of tough guy temperament and was a real man of blood.

Soldier Boy is essentially a typical arrogant old white man.

On weekdays, his favorite things to do were to drink, have fun, visit prostitutes, smoke marijuana from time to time, and brag about his heroic deeds, whether real or fictional.

His machismo is deeply rooted, and he displays violent and arrogant traits everywhere in his life.

However, if you think about it carefully, his behaviors and personality traits can actually be found in many people of bad conduct in real life. He simply magnified the negative and rough parts of human nature.

"He is from our homeland. We were forced to train him as your replacement after you disappeared."

Edgar said calmly, his tone was just right, and he especially emphasized the word "substitute". Being well versed in rhetoric, he tried to evade Water Company's responsibility in this way.

"Stan, no one can replace me. He is just an imposter in a cloak."

The soldier boy had a look of disdain on his face, a sarcastic smile on his lips, his eyes full of contempt, and he responded to Edgar with a sneer.

In his cognition, he once occupied a unique position in Vought Corporation and even in the entire superhero world. It was a self-confidence deep in his bones that he would never allow anyone to shake easily, let alone be replaced by a "substitute" who came from behind.

"I know, so he lost to a terrorist, the leader of Diablo, the Dark Emperor Sebastian Shaw."

Edgar nodded slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face that actually concealed a deep meaning, and continued to speak slowly.

He stared at the soldier boy, trying to capture the subtle changes in his expression, and was thinking about his next plan in his mind.

Regarding the glorious days when he was a leading figure in Vought Company, the soldier boy seemed calm on the surface and did not show excessive obsession or nostalgia.

However, the deep-rooted machismo in his bones inadvertently affects his attitude and reaction pattern towards various things.

Generally speaking, male chauvinists like him have built a logical system deep in their hearts that they believe is impeccable. They attach great importance to their image and status, and what they fear most is being deconstructed and dismantled.

Once they encounter doubts and falsifications, they will be like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, and they will instantly become furious and fall into anger. Because in their view, any behavior that breaks this self-cognition is like a blatant challenge to the meaning of their existence, and they will instinctively resist fiercely to maintain their fragile and sensitive self-esteem.

Although the soldier boy always appears to be insolent on the surface, deep down in his heart, he knows better than anyone that the wheel of time is rolling forward relentlessly and his own glorious era has long been gone like a passing cloud, never to return.

He understood that under the broader standards of morality and value, he was not a real man, let alone a good man worthy of praise.

He was like a trapped beast licking its wounds alone in the dark. He knew clearly in his mind that in the eyes of Water Corporation, he was just a stick that could be manipulated at will. The company used his power and fame to achieve various ulterior purposes. In the company's complex power games and business operations, he was always just a manipulated puppet without any autonomy.

"So, you want me to take care of him?"

The soldier boy keenly caught the deep meaning in Edgar's words, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked.

"You're the only one who can do this now, Soldier Boy."

Edgar nodded without hesitation, a sincere expression on his face, and spoke in a firm tone.

"You have disappeared for many years, and the public's memory of you has gradually faded. But this time is different. This is a great opportunity for you to return to the public eye. The terrorist Sebastian Shaw is too rampant. The Diablo organization he leads has caused extremely serious damage to America and has had a very bad social impact. Only you, with your former prestige and strong strength, have the ability to subdue him and save America from the water and fire. This will not only make you a hero in people's hearts again, but also restore Vought Company's former reputation."

Edgar talked incessantly, trying to impress the soldier boy with these words and make him willingly carry out this dangerous mission.

The soldier boy listened to Edgar's encouragement, and his originally calm heart suddenly became turbulent.

The innate arrogance and competitiveness deep in my heart was like a flame poured with a bucket of gasoline, and it was completely ignited in an instant.

He raised his head, his nostrils flared slightly, and a very confident and even arrogant smile appeared on his face.

In his opinion, he was once the pillar of the superhero world. In that turbulent era, he was the symbol of power and glory.

Now, it is as easy as taking candy from a sack to deal with a terrorist who has merely defeated the "fake" motherland.

"Humph!"

The soldier boy snorted disdainfully, slammed the table, stood up, and shouted loudly: "I'll take this job! Just wait and see, I will make that Sebastian Shaw pay the most painful price for what he did, and let everyone know who is the real powerful superhero in this world!"

As he spoke, he waved his arms, as if he had already seen Sebastian Xiao trembling and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy in front of him.
