American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers!.

Chapter 197 Dad, I am sick, is there any hope?

"Is there a word of truth in your mouth?"

Homelander pointed angrily at Madeline who had fallen on the sofa and said, "You've been deceiving me since the beginning!"

"I'm so sorry, John."

Madeline apologized to Homelander in tears: "I shouldn't have lied to you. It's my fault. Please, don't hurt Teddy. Please, he is innocent."

The black-robed Homelander looked at the baby in his hand and did not hand the baby over to Madeline. Instead, he took a step closer to her holding the crying baby.

"I want to ask you, have you ever really cared about me?"

"You are very important to me, John."

Madeline ignored the tears on her face and said to him, "It has always been very important."

"No!"

Homelander shook his finger and said to Madeline, "I am very important to your work. You care about this baby more than I do. You are just using me."

"No, I love you, John, I swear I love you!"

"Then tell me what's really on your mind, and no more lies!"

Homelander asked her, his lips twitching slightly.

After a while, Madeline finally told him her truest thoughts: "I'm scared!"

"what?"

Homelander looked at her in shock.

"I said I was scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of you!"

Homelander was a little confused after hearing this, and then his expression immediately turned angry, "Is this your love for me?!"

"I'm very sorry."

"You don't have to apologize, this is what you really think!"

The people of my country suddenly felt relieved.

"No one in this world loves me. Dr. Wogelbaum treats me as a product, and you are full of lies."

He stepped back and looked at the baby in his arms.

"Only my father is not afraid of me and treats me as a real human being."

With tears in his eyes, he looked at the other person while holding the baby, and his eyes suddenly shot out lasers.

At the hotel, Peter watched the fire news on the news.

"It is reported that the fire broke out in the residence of Madeline Stillwell, the president of Water International. Firefighters have not yet found the missing Ms. Madeline and her children."

Peter frowned when he saw this.

Was it done by our motherland?!
"Button! Button!"

He was looking at the TV screen when there was a knock on the door.

Peter opened the door and saw that it was his fellow countryman from this world.

"Hey, sir."

The black-robed countryman stood outside the door, forced a smile on his face, and said to him, "Do you mind if we chat?"

"come in."

Peter looked at the faint traces of tears in the corners of this guy's eyes and wondered what had happened to him again.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Yes, it is."

This time, the Homelander did not refuse.

Taking the coffee that Peter handed over, Homelander held it, letting the warmth of the coffee pass into his palms.

"Did you cause the fire at Madeleine's house?"

Peter asked him directly.

Homelander was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

He originally thought that Peter would ask him whether he had killed Madeleine, and if not, where he had taken her.

Unexpectedly, Peter just replied with "Yeah" and didn't ask any further.

This made what he wanted to say get stuck in his throat.

“I always felt like I was sick.”

After a while, the Homelander said to Peter: "In this world, I can feel that I don't fit in. I am the only one who is special, but I am also lonely. I know that I am unhealthy."

He puffed out his cheeks and exhaled deeply.

“I often wonder if I had grown up on a farm, my life might have been different.”

He looked at Peter with a complicated expression: "I have always regarded you as my father. If you were by my side to teach me, maybe I would be different."

Peter looked at his countryman with a sincere expression, sighed and said, "You are indeed sick, but it's not your fault."

“Henry Adams described power as ‘a tumor that ends by killing the patient’s sympathy,’ J.E.D. Acton said: ‘Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,’ while neuroscientists have provided experimental evidence for the power paradox: the wielding of power causes brain damage, and leaders lose the psychological ability that allowed them to lead in the first place – the ability to put themselves in another’s shoes, or empathy.”

Peter said calmly: "When you have absolute power, your brain is sick."

"No one in this world can rival you."

Peter paused and continued, "You have been trained as a tool since birth, and no one has ever considered your mental health, so you have no concept of family and friendship, and no concept of 'empathy'."

"The lack of emotional nurturing during your upbringing, coupled with the lack of empathy brought on by absolute power, has made you sick."

Peter said, reaching out and patting the other's shoulder, "If you had lived with me on the farm, you wouldn't be so sick."

When Peter hit the nail on the head, Homelander burst into tears.

He held back his tears and said to Peter: "I hope so too, Dad." Peter: "?!"

Just calling him right away?
This kid really knows how to climb up.

"But I know I can't go back to the past."

Homelander has figured out that even if he returns to the farm, his childhood can never be made up for.

He might as well stay here and let Peter see what he has achieved.

"I've always looked up to you as my spiritual pillar, Dad, and I hope to be you."

"You can't be me, you can only be yourself."

Peter shook his head and said to him: "If you try to become someone else, you will lose yourself. Don't expect others to love you. You just need to love yourself."

"I will, Dad."

The Homelander took a deep breath.

Suddenly, he no longer felt such an urgent need for the love that he had always sought but could not get.

All these efforts he made were in the hope of gaining recognition and love from others.

Now Peter's words to him encouraged him to be a self-loving person and sent a warm current through his heart.

The other A-Zu used to say that he would never reconcile with the past, but now he feels that he has reconciled with his past self.

He will no longer seek love from anyone, whether fans or others, he just needs recognition from his father.

"Will you come to see me again?"

Homelander had a feeling that Peter was about to leave, so he asked him.

"Uh"

Looking at the other person's eager eyes like a child, Peter finally nodded, "Of course."

With the sandbag and the ruby, he can enter and exit the two worlds at will.

Bringing out the Super Seven isn't a problem either.

But considering that the Super Seven are of no help to me now, I gave up the idea.

"Maeve and Starlight are good, remember to take care of them."

Because these two "cheap daughters" called him dad today, he didn't mind asking his fellow countrymen to help take care of them.

"it is good."

Homelander nodded, stood up and held out his arms, wanting to hug Peter.

Peter didn't refuse, hugged him and patted his shoulder.

"Don't be such a jerk."

The next day.

A press conference held by Water Company.

Regarding Madeleine's disappearance, Edgar fabricated a terrorist attack to explain it to the public.

After Edgar finished his speech, Homelander took the stage.

According to the procedure, this was the Homelander’s explanation and apology to the public regarding the disturbance caused in front of Godokin University.

Standing on the stage, Homelander puffed up his cheeks and slowly exhaled the air from his mouth.

Today he decided not to pretend anymore.

"In your eyes, I have always been a positive, sunny star, but in fact, I am not."

The motherland said something that surprised many media reporters.

Edgar in the audience frowned. He suspected that the other party was mentally controlled by Peter.

"I am a superhuman. I am stronger and smarter. I am different from all of you. I am the son of Peter Padrick. I am different from you!"

Seeing the other party going crazy, Ashley quickly ordered the staff to turn off the live broadcast.

"Damn it, cut off the signal! Quick!"

"Don't cut off the signal! Roger!"

Homelander pointed to the backstage to stop the other party, and continued:
"I have always longed for something, but the result is that I am constantly controlled by them. Throughout my life, the rich and powerful have always tried to control me, making me powerless and making me listen to them."

"But my father told me to be myself and not expect others to love me. From now on, I will not be controlled by them. I will do whatever the fuck I have always wanted to do."

There is only one thing he wants to do now, and that is to get rid of Walter's control, control Walter, and then become the master of this country as a superhuman.

A-Zu in another world will build a statue for his father in New York, and he wants to spread his father's statues across the United States.

The next time his father sees him, he will see the entire country that he gave him.

He wanted to make his father proud of his achievements.

Peter probably couldn't have imagined this at this time. He thought his fellow countrymen would be more restrained. After all, he almost accepted him as his godson.

I didn't expect this guy to be even crazier than in his previous life.

"If they can control me, they can control you, but you just didn't notice. I've had enough. I'm tired of being persecuted because of my power!"

"You have to thank my father. It was he who created me because you need me! You need me to save you! You are not the real heroes. My father and I are."

After saying the last sentence, he exhaled and looked at the audience and media below.

He already knew that his approval rating would plummet because of today's speech.

But I don’t care!

I no longer need the love of these fans.

at the same time.

The Cuckold, who was in the audience, looked at Hughie, Breast Milk, and Frankie.

"Is this bastard crazy?!"
