That night, witnessed by Los in his dual roles as Black and Godfather.

Homelander meets his son Ryan for the first time.

Becca made a deal with him privately: "Release Billy Butcher in exchange for permission to have regular contact with his son."

The man from the motherland agreed on the spot.

In his view, it's more interesting to keep the butcher, an ordinary person (toy) who dares to challenge him.

The butcher was thus saved and disappeared into New York City that night.

A few days later, it was the weekend.

Inside a detached villa.

Wearing casual home clothes, Los sat on the sofa in the first-floor living room, basking in the afternoon sunlight streaming in through the window, and turned on the television.

Switching between a few news channels, the sheer volume of trending news events is overwhelming.

"The death of former hero Invisible Man has been confirmed, and he was part of the terrorist organization The Boys, founded by Butcher. The FBI has issued arrest warrants for members of The Boys: Billy Butcher, Hugh Campbell, French, and Marvin."

"CIA Deputy Director Susan Reiner was shot in the head and killed in an open-air parking lot in New York. The case is still under investigation!"

"The Superhuman Intervention in Military Operations Act has been passed. Homelander has flown to the Middle East multiple times within a week, effectively eliminating local terrorist organizations!"

"Steel Body Industries, a rising star in the technology industry, has launched high-tech prosthetic devices that have enabled tens of thousands of disabled people to regain normal mobility. CEO Jordan publicly declared: 'Physical suffering, mechanical ascension!'"

Los couldn't help but smile as he watched his roommate Jordan, dressed in a black androgynous suit and looking very serious, on the TV screen.

That guy is actually quite capable.

With the steel industry now on track, it can gradually move into fields such as artificial intelligence, supercomputers, and aerospace satellites, which are also prerequisites for building a steel army.

of course.

The technological products launched by SteelBody Industries on the market are all appropriately downplayed and adjusted to avoid being too futuristic.

"Besides the steel industry, my own steel body is also improving day by day."

Los looked down at a worn-out razor on the table and couldn't help but sigh.

It's just a few fine hairs; even the best razors on the market can't cut them at all now.

If this continues, perhaps one day even Adamantium, the same material used in Wolverine's claws, will be difficult to scratch.

Vibranium and Adamantium have very similar structures, much like the difference between iron and iron alloys.

Los picked up the razor with the blunt blade, easily flattened it into the shape of a coin with his hand, and then used his matter conversion ability to do so.

He now prefers to call this support ability "Reconstruction"!

After a short while, the coin's interior transformed into a material resembling vibranium.

Los fiddled with the vibranium coin in his hand and nodded to himself.

Only vibranium can withstand the force of hundreds of tons of its own body being manipulated without being enveloped by a bio-force field.

At this time.

The latest New York news broadcast on television caught Los's attention.

"Due to Hero Starlight's public accusations, Deepsea, a member of the Super Seven, has been officially expelled from the Vought Corporation today!"

"Heroes have become a female icon, with their fan base now surpassing even Homelander's. They're hailed as America's sweetheart, and various Hero merchandise is a global sensation!"

"What a coincidence."

Los muttered something, turned off the TV, and glanced towards the door.

The doorbell rang.

Los didn't get up to open the door, but said, "The door's unlocked, come in."

The door opened, and a beautiful white girl with long, golden, curly hair walked in, radiating starlight.

That's none other than the American sweetheart and superstar who just made headlines.

Compared to the relatively normal platinum cape uniform she wore before, Starlight's current battle suit was much more economical with fabric, almost completely exposing her fair shoulders and long, white legs, while a hint of cleavage peeked out from beneath her delicate neck and collarbone.

Looking at Starlight's somewhat awkward and hesitant posture, Los asked curiously:

"With your current popularity and Vice President Madeline no longer around, you don't need to change into this kind of revealing outfit, do you?"

"I don't need to change it, I just suddenly wanted to wear it once."

Starlight smiled sweetly and took off her combat boots at the door, putting on her home shoes instead.

She tucked a strand of golden hair behind her ear, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous light, and continued:

"Furthermore, if the media were to photograph me dressed like this walking into your dark-colored residence, it would be easier to cause a scandal."

"It seems you've really learned it." Los raised an eyebrow.

The other party is trying to emulate Queen Maeve and Homelander by creating scandals with other heroes in the team, which does indeed make it easier to gain fans.

Starlight bowed low to Los, her posture very humble, revealing glimpses of her skin.

Unlike colleagues, they were more like superiors and subordinates, she said sincerely:

"There was no one on my way here. If you don't like this kind of gossip, I will stop it immediately and will be extra careful in the future."

"It doesn't matter," Los said casually.

For him, the black-clad identity was merely a temporary one.

In time, this identity may lose its meaning.

He glanced at Xingguang. "Didn't you used to dislike these kinds of hype?"

People change.

Starlight, feigning maturity, secretly glanced at Los on the sofa.

She certainly doesn't like using scandals to gain fans, but it depends on the person!

Starlight seemed to have thought of something, bit her moist lips lightly, stared straight at Los, and finally mustered up her courage to say:

"I can stay tonight and try to see if I can release sunlight..."

Still too young.

As Xingguang finished speaking, her ears turned slightly red again.

Los chuckled lightly and said calmly, "I think instead of trying to please me, you should call and greet the president of the Water Group."

Starlight paused for a moment: "Edgar, the president of the Water Group?"

Ross said, "Now that Vice President Madeline is dead, President Edgar must find a new way to manage Homelanders."

He paused, then continued, "I suspect that the new hero member recommended by the Vought Group's top management, who hasn't officially joined yet, is for this purpose."

Suddenly, Xingguang understood.

Now, her fan base is almost as large as that of the Chinese people, which is bound to displease them.

Therefore, the Water Corporation headquarters needed a powerful backer, and Edgar, the president who wanted to control Homelander, was the best candidate!

into the night.

We left the dark-colored villa.

Starlight turned back every few steps, staring blankly at the house lit up with warm lights that resembled the sun.

She believes she has indeed matured, now knowing how to use promotional methods she used to dislike, and is adept at scheming and employing various tactics.

She remains true to her original aspiration, hoping to use the resources of the Super Seven to truly combat criminals and evil, and achieve the justice she seeks.

Starlight feels that she is growing, becoming better rapidly, with her fame and abilities increasing, and she is shining even brighter!

But, but.

Why does it feel like we're getting further and further away from the second-generation Xuanse?

At that moment, for some reason, a pang of regret welled up inside Anne January, the star of the show—

Los, why aren't you a scumbag?
