Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Ah Zu slowed down, landed steadily on the terrace outside the hall, and stepped inside.

When Jessica saw Azu walk in, she went up and gave him a hug.

"I've brought the person back to you," Jessica said, rubbing her eyes. "The rest is up to you. I'm going back to get some sleep."

"If there's anything you don't understand, ask Ashley."

After saying that, Jessica yawned, and her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Upon seeing this, Ashley immediately came forward and skillfully reported to Azu the origins and ability assessments of the two.

As Azu listened, he sized up the two men.

At this moment, Matt took a step forward and greeted Azu.

"Mr. Homelander, it's an honor to meet you."

Azu looked at Matt, whose face was half-covered by a hood, and feigned surprise, saying, "You can see me? You actually knew it was me?"

Matt smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "I never rely on my eyes. Because there are things in a person that are more unique than their appearance."

"Wow, I have to say, that's really amazing," Azu exclaimed.

"Matt Murdoch, I've heard of your deeds," Azu called out his real name.

"You not only fight crime under the cover of night, but also help many poor people with their lawsuits during the day, fighting for justice for them."

Azu continued, his eyes filled with pity, his voice lower than before.

"I can see the scars on your body, and the marks of your bones breaking and healing repeatedly. You are enduring pain that ordinary people cannot imagine every day."

"But you still chose to stand up and shed blood for those complete strangers."

Azu reached out and patted Matt on the shoulder.

"And you, my friend, are the true hero."

"Not just because of your work, but also because of the difficulties you overcame."

Matt was stunned.

He was used to loneliness and misunderstanding, used to bleeding silently in the mud.

He never imagined that this high-ranking, homelander he was meeting for the first time would give him such high praise.

A warm feeling welled up in Matt's heart.

"Thank you, Homelander," Matt said gratefully. "Your words mean a lot to me."

Hint! You've gained a special popularity bonus of +10000! (From Matt Murdoch)

At that moment, Matt made a decision: he decided to be honest.

He should not hide his selfish motives from such a sincere leader.

"Homelander, actually, I joined Vought for a personal reason. I..."

"No need for explanation, Matt," Azu interrupted him directly, his tone accommodating.

"Once you come to Walter, you're family."

"Walter never stands idly by when it comes to his family. Do what you want to do."

"Walter will do everything he can to help you."

Matt was moved.

"But..." Azu changed the subject and chuckled.

"You must fully cooperate with Walter's publicity efforts."

"You must understand that saving hearts is often more important than saving lives."

Matt pondered the sentence carefully, as if he had gained some insight.

He had always resisted the spotlight and preferred to operate in the shadows. But Homelander's words opened up new avenues of thought for him.

He nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will cooperate fully."

At that moment, Danny finished all the formalities and walked over excitedly.

"Mr. Homelander! I'm Danny Rand, your loyal fan!" Danny eagerly extended his hand.

"I know you, Danny. Jessica raves about you." Azu took his hand and patted it with a smile.

"We have very similar circumstances and have both gone through hardships. But thankfully, the hardships did not break us, and we eventually got on the right path."

With just a few words, Ah Zu instantly bridged the gap between the two.

Danny felt like he had met a kindred spirit too late, and was extremely excited.

"In support of your just cause," Azu continued, "Walt will officially include the RAND Corporation in our list of strategic partners. Your company will enjoy the highest level of tax breaks and technology sharing with the federal government."

Danny was even more excited.

Their family business was already struggling under the high federal tax rates.

But now that Walter is here, all problems are solved.

"Thank you so much, Homelander! I will never let you down!"

Having laid the groundwork, Ah Zu, seeing that the time was right, got down to business.

"Danny, the Hand has been dealt with, but I need your help with an important mission for Walter."

Danny straightened his face and waited for Homelander's instructions.

"The Hand's headquarters, which is the dragon bone buried beneath the Midland Circle building in Manhattan," Azu said solemnly, "is also being sought after by followers of the cosmic evil god Dormammu."

"Leaving it there poses a huge safety hazard to the people of New York."

"Walter has decided to collect all the dragon bones, manage them uniformly, and use them to benefit all mankind."

After hearing this, Danny completely believed what Azu said.

The people of the motherland are now highly regarded around the world. If he says he will benefit mankind, then there is absolutely no problem with it.

But he looked troubled.

"Mr. Homelander, I fully support your decision. But..."

Danny explained with concern, "I overheard Mrs. Gao's plot; that dragon skeleton has completely merged with the ley lines of New York."

"If the backbone is forcibly removed, much of New York City could collapse without structural support."

Azu smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, Danny. I care about New York's safety more than anyone else. My company, my home, are all here."

"Walter is fully prepared. While the keel is being excavated, we will simultaneously fill it with a brand-new high-strength material."

"I guarantee that the new foundation will be ten thousand times more reliable than that pile of bones."

Seeing that the Homelander had even prepared the technical solutions, Danny dispelled his last concerns.

"I understand! I promise to fully cooperate with Walter's operation!"

After finishing their business, Azu gestured for them to rest first, and then staff would take them to have their custom-made hero uniforms and equipment made.

After the two left, Ashley approached them.

"Boss," Ashley said, quickly flipping through the data, "Regarding publicity, the topic of equality is currently very popular within the Federation. But Angela has been busy with various private parties lately, and her popularity index has clearly declined."

"I suggest that Angela, the transgender hero, team up with Matt, the disabled hero, for a period of time for joint patrols and outreach."

"This politically correct duo will definitely win over the media and the public."

After listening, Azu felt that it made a lot of sense, and that it was very effective, at least in North America and Europe.

Indeed, professional matters should be left to professionals.

"Just do as you say, Ashley." Azu readily agreed. "You've never let me down."
