American Comics: Starting from the Invincible Young Hero

Chapter 30 Now, take me to see the directors of Walter

"impossible!"

The hand remained steady and motionless, and the fire that could instantly turn steel into molten iron seemed as harmless as warm water. Mark couldn't believe it.

Pinching Mark's neck, Russell looked at him with disgust as all his clothes were burned.

Not wanting to carry around a naked man covered in flames, she choked him unconscious and tossed him into the trash.

"Don't... don't come here!"

The blonde girl Kate had already taken off her gloves and was backing away in fear as if she were facing a formidable enemy, looking like someone who was easily frightened and turned pale.

"The acting is so poor."

Russell knew that she was just waiting for him to grab him and use mind control on him. He had no interest in testing the soldier boy template's resistance to mind control, so he disappeared in a flash.

"Where did you go?"

The alley was empty, but Kate suddenly felt a chill on her back, and a wave of insecurity came over her. Her neck was stiff and she turned her head to see a knife coming down.

Bang!
Kate's eyes rolled back and her body collapsed to the ground in the alley.

Kate Dunlap template included

The goal of this line was achieved.

Russell withdrew his hand with satisfaction.

The three are characters in the black robe derivative V Generation, and they are all outstanding students of Godokin University, a superhero university under Vought.

One can manipulate magnetism, but has trouble controlling a helicopter. He's a super youthful and bankrupt version of Magneto.

Another one is called Golden Boy. He has a strong body and the ability to control fire. His teacher says he has the potential to succeed Homelander.

But based on the performance just now, I can only say - it's a parallel import.

Golden Boy might be the strongest of the metahumans besides Homelander, Soldier Boy, Queen Maeve, and the others, but he's still not good enough.

As for the last person, Kate Dunlap, she possesses rare and noble psychic abilities that allow her to control others through mind contact.

【Conquest Points: 11430】

[Solidating the Kate Dunlap template requires 8900 Conquest Points. Do you want to solidify it?]

【Yes. 】

Three people were lying knocked down in the alley. Russell turned and left with a smile on his face. He chose to solidify without hesitation, which was related to his next plan.

With the exception of his Cyclops and flying speed, he is almost as good as Watt's most valuable product, Homelander.

If you ask Walter to apply for the job and show a little bit of your abilities, it will be easy to join the Super Seven.

But Russell won't do that. He will enter Vought under another identity and become a superhero under Vought.

For example - who is actually in control of Walter?
……

In the hilltop villa, Stan Edgar slowly opened his eyes in the dim light of five in the morning.

He always slept as precisely as clockwork, but a certain intuition pierced through the lingering sleepiness - someone was watching him.

In the shadow cast by the curtains, there is a chair at the head of the bed. A handsome young man in a gray sweatshirt sits on it, his hands folded on his knees, his knuckles long and clean. I don't know how long he has been sitting there.

Edgar's fingertips silently reached for the warning button under his pillow, but his voice was even calmer than when he had just woken up: "Young man, I guess you are not here to deliver breakfast."

Russell smiled, not in a threatening way, but with a hint of admiration: "You are always calm and composed, as if you have the situation under control, Mr. Edgar."

"It's a pity that this is the only look that's intimidating."

Edgar is calm and composed, with a strong aura, even able to overpower his fellow countrymen, making people believe that he has some powerful trump card that can check and balance his fellow countrymen.

It wasn't until he was removed from his CEO position by the Homelander United Board of Directors and thrown into prison that people realized he seemed to have nothing but an unfathomable poker face.

"That's not the right attitude to take when trying to sell yourself." "What? You think I'm a superhuman who came to your villa, surrounded by bodyguards, just to show off my abilities and win a contract?"

"Isn't it?" Edgar asked calmly.

"No need to wait, all your bodyguards have been taken down."

Russell slowly stood up.

"Now, take me to see the directors of Walter."

"You think you can threaten me?"

"It's not a threat, it's an order!" Russell grabbed Edgar's neck and lifted him off the bed, a gleam in his eyes.

Edgar, who was then put down, touched his neck and bowed his head respectfully.

"Yes, Master."

"Call me sir, tell me, what is Vought's trump card to balance Homelander?" Russell asked the same question every time he met a Vought director and turned them into puppets using his mind control ability.

I thought these guys had some tricks that weren't revealed in the plot.

The answers were surprisingly consistent.

"Sir, since Homelander was a child in the laboratory, we have hired a team of the world's best psychological experts to specially design his childhood and growth experience.

Make sure he is sensitive and inferior, desperately needs attention and love, and can never be separated from the company's flash lights and the fans attracted by the persona created for him by the company.

He has godlike abilities, but in real life he is a complete baby, forever dependent on Walter, the head of the family, for control and care."

"What if Homelander gets out of control?"

"Homelander can't get out of control, sir."

"I mean, if!"

"Sir, Homelander won't get out of control. When he was a child..." In a luxurious study, when the last director of Water was asked, the fat and bloated old director showed confusion on his face with dark circles under his eyes due to indulgence in sensual pleasures.

Like a robot, he repeated the words Russell had heard many times.

He seemed to have no idea why his master was asking such an impossible question.

"a bunch of idiots."

Russell couldn't stand it anymore, so he threw a book at his face and told him to get out and stop looking at him.

'He only tried his best to control his countrymen, but he had no preparation for what would happen if he lost control.

No wonder after Edgar was brought down, Vought Corporation became a one-man show for the people of Homeland, who could do whatever they wanted!

"You're right, sir. Walter's directors are nothing more than ticks sucking the blood of the company founded by Walter."

Edgar took a step forward, sneered, and nodded in agreement, as if this was also an idea he had buried deep in his heart for a long time.

"The reason they are directors of Walter is simply because they are descendants of the Walter family, not because they are particularly intelligent or talented."

"What about you? If Homelander gets out of control, what good solutions do you have?" Russell looked at him unhappily.

Edgar is also a loser in his struggle with his fellow countrymen.

“Vought Labs has been developing Temporary Compound No. 5, which can grant people superpowers and can be injected into adults.

The estimated effect of the drug is only 24 hours, so you will never create a product that will catastrophically fail out of control."

Mind control did not affect other aspects except for matters related to Russell. Edgar still maintained that contemptuous tone as if he regarded his countrymen as company products.

"Sir, as long as the temporary compound No. 5 is successfully developed and mass-produced, we can organize a group of people from all over the world who will have powerful abilities after injection to form a top-level superhuman team.

If Homelander gets out of control, we can use this team to recover him if he gets out of control."
