A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

The next day.

When Starlight walked into the Water Company again, his feelings were much more complicated.

The elation and excitement I felt when I first walked in yesterday have completely vanished.

This time, it's more of a worry.

Both Deep Sea and the Invisible Man were exactly as described in the diary.

What about the others?

Where are the people of our motherland?

Starlight wasn't so optimistic anymore; she didn't dare think any further.

If the Seven really are a bunch of scumbags as the diary says, what will become of me?

Is he going to leave the Super Seven, just as the diary suggests?

Just thinking about these problems gave Xingguang a headache.

Squeak!

Before they knew it, Xingguang had arrived at a luxurious conference room.

That was specially provided by Vought International for the Super Seven; it's where the Super Seven usually hold meetings and discuss matters.

When Starlight pushed open the door, Homelander, A-Train, and the other members of the Seven were already there.

Even the Deep Sea, which gave Xingguang a rude awakening last night and made her feel disgusted and frustrated, has arrived.

The other person was still sitting there as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had occurred.

"I thought you weren't coming."

The deep sea was incredibly calm and composed.

It's clear that he didn't take yesterday's events to heart.

"Why not? Of course I'll come!"

"I'm not going anywhere else!"

Starlight retorted sharply, making the atmosphere a bit awkward.

Anyone with eyes can see that something must have happened between the starlight and the deep sea.

It will definitely be an unpleasant thing.

But nobody cared.

"alright!"

The voice of Homelander rang out; the leader of the Seven was still very authoritative.

His words immediately silenced the crowd.

Even the newly arrived Starlight subconsciously restrained himself and sat down obediently.

The meeting then began.

The Invisible Man was the first to speak, and he went on and on about how someone had pirated their movie, causing them huge losses.

This left Starlight extremely disappointed.

Is this the issue that the Seven are concerned about?

It's all about their own interests and their own reputation.

Even when Homelander mentioned how many people were saved, it was all just empty boasting and mutual self-praise.

A serious problem has been simplified into data.

Those data not only relate to the Super Seven's metrics, but also to the individual popularity of each member of the Super Seven.

It can be said that it opened the eyes of the stars.

"Starlight, this is Trevor from the Crime Analysis Department. We plan to send you on your first patrol mission tomorrow."

In the afternoon, Ashley brought a bespectacled, bearded middle-aged man.

"That's wonderful! This is truly great news!"

Starlight immediately perked up.

During her interview to join the Seven, she said she was there to better combat crime.

This isn't just empty talk from Xingguang; it's what Xingguang truly feels from the bottom of her heart.

Perhaps the promotional work for Super Seven was just too good, or perhaps Starlight is a bit too immature.

But she genuinely wanted to be a champion of justice, like a superhero in a superhero movie.

But then, Starlight was dumbfounded.

A colleague from the crime analysis department quickly handed Starlight a tablet with some relevant information on it.

"A criminal pursuit plan?"

Starlight was a little surprised. So, the company already had information on some criminals?

This intelligence work is truly impressive, befitting of Vought International.

"That's right, the specific time, location, and people are all listed on it; that's exactly what my department does."

Trevor nodded and explained to Starlight.

Okay, that's barely acceptable. Starlight will continue reading.

The company's pursuit plan turned out to be a team effort.

The pursuit is being carried out jointly by Starlight and the Deep Sea.

Please, the deep sea?

Starlight was immediately displeased. To ask her to team up with that disgusting guy was an insult to whom?

It's already a miracle that the starlight didn't kill the deep sea.

Moreover, the criminal that the Criminal Analysis Department "selected" for her was just an ordinary person.

Any super soldier could easily handle it, why would we need to send out a duo?

Isn't this a serious waste of resources?

When Starlight questioned her and asked to act alone, Ashley gave her a reason that greatly disappointed Starlight.

"Whenever there is a group action, the number of mentions of the hero tag on social media increases by 23 percent."

"Everyone loves seeing teamwork!"

???

What the hell!

Is this a crackdown on crime or just a publicity stunt?

Further down the search plan, even the words Xingguang would say to the camera after defeating the criminal were prepared, which was quite thoughtful.

But it made the starlight even more silent.

Well, it really was just a show.

Who needs to bring a photography team when cracking down on a criminal?

This is completely different from what Starlight imagined about fighting crime, and Starlight naturally disagrees with it a hundredfold.

But how to put it, since Starlight has already joined the Seven and Vought, he really has to follow the company's strategy.

She still did that show with Deep Sea.

However, what Starlight didn't expect was that when she finished the show and went home alone, she actually encountered a crime on the way.

Two men forced a woman into a car, intending to assault her.

How can one bear to watch a star with such an overwhelming sense of justice?

They quickly subdued the two men and rescued the woman.

Unfortunately, the video of Xingguang beating up the man was captured on camera and uploaded to the internet.

The next day, when Xingguang went to work, Ashley berated him mercilessly.

Nobody cares about the facts, nobody cares about the truth.

No one cared about the woman Starlight saved, or whether she was injured.

What Wotter Corporation cares about is that Starlight has been embroiled in negative news.

"This is the Vought Corporation?"

"This is the Seven?"

Starlight was incredibly disappointed.

All of this was completely different from what I had imagined.

On the contrary, it closely matches the description in the diary.

This made Xingguang even more uneasy.

Because now she can no longer ignore her diary, and her trust in it is growing day by day.

Starlight is now extremely worried. What should she do if everything written in the diary is true?

"If I had known, I wouldn't have joined the Super Seven in the first place."

Starlight couldn't help but feel incredibly annoyed.

The diary mentioned that Starlight would regret joining the Seven.

At the time, Xingguang completely dismissed it, thinking it was just nonsense.

But now?

She had only been in the Seven for less than two weeks when she started to regret it.

……

Zhou Cheng was naturally unaware of Xingguang's inner journey.

However, Zhou Cheng did know that Starlight had joined the Super Seven.

The news that the Seven had a new female superhero was everywhere.

The public relations department of Water Corporation was going all out, and anyone who wasn't living in a cave couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

"Starlight has joined the Seven, and the Black Robe storyline has fully unfolded."

Zhou Cheng understood the situation.

Without a doubt, Hughie's girlfriend must have been smashed into a pulp by the drug-fueled locomotive.

Then the Vought Corporation must have approached Hughes to handle the follow-up matters.

That butcher must have seized the opportunity and found Hugh.

He coaxed and tricked Hugh into joining his team.

Then they tricked the French into joining them, and the initial framework of the Boys must have been set up.

It's even possible that the unfortunate invisible man has already been captured by the butcher and his gang.

boom!

These thoughts were flashing through my mind when a violent explosion suddenly rang out.

At the same time, a corresponding shockwave from the explosion also erupted.

Amidst the flames and smoke, a house was blown to rubble.

Zhou Cheng's attention was immediately drawn to the explosion.

He instinctively turned his head and saw a woman hurriedly fleeing along the path.

Ok?

This woman?

Zhou Cheng felt that it looked very familiar.

It only took a few seconds for me to realize that this young woman was one of the Frenchmen's accomplices.

They were involved in smuggling and other underground businesses with the French.

Even though the French were drawn into the Boys, they maintained good relations with the French.

But what is this woman up to?

Zhou Cheng's super hearing allowed him to hear it clearly; there wasn't a single sound coming from inside the bombed-out house.

In other words, it was completely empty.

So, the other side just blew up an empty house?

However, this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Cheng, and Zhou Cheng has no intention of investigating it further.

boom!

Just as I was about to leave nonchalantly, a sonic boom suddenly rang out.

Then, in a flash, a flamboyant and extremely ostentatious figure descended from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

People of the motherland!

Zhou Cheng became interested.

He never expected to encounter Homelander, this eccentric guy, here.

And it's quite obvious that Homelander was lured here by that wave of bombs.

"So that's how it is."

The moment Zhou Cheng saw Homelander appear, he completely understood what was going on.

The reason that woman blew up the empty house was to attract the attention of the Chinese people.

To provide cover for the French on the other side.

Why?

Because the French planned to blow up the invisible man.

But Homelander, investigating the Invisible Man's disappearance, has already gotten close to the area.

And everyone knows that Homelander has super hearing.

Once the Invisible Man is killed, it will definitely attract the attention of the Homelanders, and the matter will inevitably be exposed.

Therefore, we need to lure the Homelanders away first.

That's why Zhou Cheng just witnessed what happened.

"you!"

The voice of the people of the motherland resounded.

He had already used his X-ray vision to scan the entire exploded house.

They immediately sensed something was wrong and even smelled a conspiracy.

After all, who would blow up an empty house for no reason?

Therefore, the attention of the people of the motherland was immediately drawn to the only "witness" in the vicinity.

"What's going on?"

"Who caused this explosion?"

The man walked straight toward Zhou Cheng, his face grim, clearly not in a good mood.

"You're a citizen of my country, why do you need to ask me for answers?"

Zhou Cheng laughed and shook his head dismissively, "Anyway, it's not me."

With that, Zhou Cheng turned and left on his own.

"stop!"

A low shout came from behind, and Homelander, his face unfriendly, stopped Zhou Cheng, "I don't think... I gave you permission to leave, did I?"

"Your permission?"

Who do you think you are in front of me?

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

They're nothing but ants, yet they dare to swagger around in front of me?

Who gave you the courage?

Liang Jingru?

The man from the same country opposite Zhou Cheng was even more furious.

How dare someone provoke and humiliate him face to face?

That's just asking for trouble!

If it were in a public place, the people of the motherland would be more cautious.

But in this secluded corner where there are no people and no cameras, the people of the motherland really have no scruples.

"You've got some nerve, daring to provoke me to my face."

"But do you know the consequences of provoking me, you fool?"

The people of the motherland began to show their true colors.

"as a result of?"

"What will be the consequences?"

Along with this nonchalant reply, the homelander saw Zhou Cheng wave his hand dismissively.

boom!

A dull thud immediately followed.

The man immediately felt an extremely terrifying force acting on him.

He didn't even have time to react before he was sent flying backward.

Click!

The sound of bones breaking rang out while the person was still in the air.

But then they saw that the man's chest had caved in, and eight of his ribs had broken on the spot.

boom!

Then there was another loud bang, and the ground shook as if an earthquake had struck.

The people of the motherland were slammed into the ground by Zhou Cheng, creating a huge crater.

Homelander lay limp at the bottom of the pit like a dead dog, too weak to even move.

Several seconds passed before he suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood.

"impossible!"

"How could such a thing be possible!"

The man from the motherland was completely stunned, and a huge wave of emotions surged within him.

I simply can't believe what just happened.

Who is he?

People of the motherland!

The most powerful superhero in the world, no force can defeat him.

Everyone else is like an ant in his eyes; he could easily crush them with a single finger.

But now, he almost got killed with a single palm strike?

Are you kidding me!

How could such a powerful person exist in this world?

Even his own countrymen were like ants in his presence!

Heaven have mercy.

Homelander really had a brush with death; he almost died. (End of Chapter)
