Chapter 1617 Edgar's Fear
The Future Homelander shrugged and said nonchalantly, "You can investigate as you please. I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. However, I hope you can resolve this matter as soon as possible. I don't want to be disturbed by such boring things all the time."

Edgar and Madeline looked at each other and nodded.

They knew that for now they could only do as Future Homelander said, secretly investigate, and keep a close eye on his movements.

Then Homelander couldn't help but go find Madeleine.

After Madeline had some intimate time with Homelander, she was convinced that this Homelander was not a fake, because their hobbies were exactly the same, and even many of their little habits and subconscious actions were known only to Homelander.

The native man smacked his lips as he tasted Madeleine's breast milk again. He missed this taste so much.

"John, can you tell me exactly what happened?"

Madeline asked after playing the caring card.

The Chinese man didn't think much about it, but he wouldn't tell the truth, so he just said that he met a fake and killed him in a rage. He tore the body into pieces, and he was too lazy to bring it back, so he just threw it into the sea.

It can be said that the story is flawless and completely consistent with the image of the native Madeline.

After hearing about this situation, Madeline didn't say much, but asked Homelander to be prepared to attend the publicity event tomorrow, when someone would definitely ask him what happened.

Homelander smiled and said he knew how to deal with it.

In the following days, an intense and secret investigation began within Water Company.

Investigators collected clues everywhere and conducted a careful investigation of the battle scene, trying to find any trace of the "impostor".

However, Future Homelander remained calm and carried out his company's tasks as usual, demonstrating his great strength and leadership.

He led the Super Seven Team to successfully resolve several major crisis incidents, winning wide praise from the public and the trust of the company.

But Edgar's doubts never disappeared.

He secretly arranged some confidants to monitor the future Homelander 24 hours a day.

He found that in his spare time, the people of the future motherland often stayed in the room alone, and no one knew what they were studying.

Moreover, his behavior and way of thinking are very different from before.

He began to pay attention to the company's strategic development and put forward some forward-looking suggestions, which made Edgar more suspicious of his identity.

Although Madeline reported that there was no problem, Edgar still had doubts.

Future Homelander also knew that Edgar had been investigating and monitoring him, so he sneaked into Edgar's office.

He stood in the darkness, quietly waiting for Edgar to arrive.

When Edgar walked into the office and turned on the light, he saw his future countryman standing in front of the window.

His face turned pale instantly and a strong fear surged in his heart.

"You...why are you here?"

Edgar asked, stuttering.

The future Homelander turned around with a cold smile on his face. "Edgar, do you think you can hide those little tricks from me? From the moment you started to doubt me, I have been watching you."

Edgar pretended to be calm and said, "I am only thinking about the interests of the company. Your recent behavior is really suspicious."

The future homelander walked towards Edgar step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on Edgar's heart.

"For the benefit of the company? Or for your own power and status? Edgar, you are too self-righteous. Do you think you are still the one who can control everything?"

Edgar originally tried to maintain his pitiful dignity as the president of Water Company.

But at this moment, facing the oppressive aura of his future motherland, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He stepped back in horror until his back hit the cold wall and was forced to stop.

He looked at the murderous eyes of his future homelander in horror. Those eyes seemed like a demon from the abyss that could devour him at any time.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks and dripped onto his expensive suit, leaving dark marks.

His lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make any sound because of extreme fear.

"You...what do you want?"

After a long time, Edgar asked in a trembling voice, which was so weak that it was almost inaudible, as if it came from a distant place.

The Future Homelander did not answer immediately. Instead, he slowly paced around Edgar, his eyes fixed on him the whole time, as if he was admiring a prey trapped in a cage.

His footsteps were particularly clear in the silent office, and every step seemed to add another heavy stone to Edgar's heart.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want you to understand that I am no longer someone you can manipulate at will."

The Future Homelander finally stopped in front of Edgar and looked down at him, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule, "If you want to continue to stay in Vought Company, you must listen to me, otherwise..."

The Future Homelander did not finish his words, but the threat in his words was obvious.

Edgar looked at this strange yet powerful fellow countryman in front of him, his heart filled with regret and despair.

He once thought that he could control everything, firmly grasp the powerful weapon of Homelander in his hands, and seek the greatest benefits for the company.

However, he never imagined that this fellow countryman, whom he regarded as a chess piece, has now grown into an untamed beast and has in turn forced him into a desperate situation.

He knew in his heart that he had completely lost control over the people of his future motherland.

The native of his country who once obeyed his orders and allowed him to do whatever he wanted is no longer there, replaced by a monster with great power and independent will.

In fact, although Future Homelander was filled with murderous intent at the moment, deep down in his heart he did not really want to kill Edgar.

Although he possesses superhuman powers, he is still far inferior to Edgar, the shrewd businessman, in handling company affairs and coping with complex external situations.

He also needed Edgar to solve and handle the affairs of Vought Company for him, so that he could have more time and energy to pursue more powerful forces.

After experiencing the initial fear, Edgar became more certain that the future Homelander was the imposter.
