A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Upon hearing this, the Homelander examined the activity tracks before and after the secret nest and said in a deep voice:

"There's something wrong here. Before arriving here, the invisible man's movements were along the road."

"But after that, the Invisible Man's movement trajectory is straight... That's impossible, unless he can fly."

“You mean… he got into trouble here and was taken to Queens?” Madeline asked, frowning.

Homelander's lips twitched. He took a deep breath, slowly pursed his lips, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. There was actually a second superhuman in the world who could fly?

Madeline frowned, recalling information about superhumans in her mind. There were no records of flying superhumans in the company's records. What was going on?

Deep Sea looked at Madeline, then at Homelander. Now that Invisible Man has disappeared, does that mean I'll be the guest at tomorrow's shareholders' meeting?

Thinking of this, Shen Hai grinned. The Invisible Man was really great; he disappeared at just the right time. He was so grateful to him; he was a good person!

Chapter 329 A Simple and Kind-hearted Handsome Boy

buzz~

Inside an apartment room, a mask sits in a glass case filled with liquid, emitting a faint buzzing sound as a layer of metal slowly coats the mask.

Cao Gui is galvanizing the mask. The Invisible Man once said that the Homelander's eyes can see through things, but the only material the Homelander cannot see through is zinc.

Before long, a mask with a dark, metallic finish was completed. Cao Gui took it out and began to polish and grind it.

blah blah~

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Cao Gui was taken aback. Standing outside was a heavily tattooed Frenchman... This wasn't a derogatory term, but rather because his name was indeed "Frenchman."

This is a craftsman skilled in making all kinds of weapons... or perhaps a gunman, or more accurately, an assassin.

Last night, Cao Gui stuffed ten thousand US dollars in cash into his back pocket on the streets of New York, and then... within minutes, several kind-hearted people ran out to talk to him about information. Cao Gui learned about this Frenchman from them.

In return, Cao Gui bestowed upon them the supreme honor of Grand Commander: "A Mind with a Wild Imagination," and the highest treatment of a pet dog leader: "A Mind with Many Clever Ideas."

"Hello, your order has arrived," the Frenchman outside said softly.

Cao Gui opened the door and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you're really fast! We just finished our business deal less than ten hours ago."

"It's faster than your country surrendering."

The Frenchman's lips twitched, and with a dark expression, he pointed to the box at his feet and said, "Sir, your order has arrived. Please pay the balance."

He didn't want to delve too deeply into this topic... Actually, no, if this person hadn't just crumpled a Desert Eagle into a ball right in front of him, he certainly wouldn't have minded chatting with this Asian man about what French honor is... though not much.

Cao Gui chuckled, reached behind him, pulled out a wad of US dollars, and handed it over. Fifty thousand—that's why the Frenchman finished the job so quickly.

These were all dirty money he had acquired before. Cao Gui had kept them in his system inventory without using them much. Some of the money was stained with blood, and some was covered in white powder, making them unsuitable for a simple, kind, and handsome boy like him.

"Thank you for coming." The Frenchman put away his US dollars and left quickly. He needed to get back to another place as soon as possible. The superhumans had noticed him, and regardless of whether it was related to Walter or not, he couldn't stay any longer.

Ring ring~

Just then, the Frenchman's phone rang. He answered it as he walked: "Oh, Butcher, you piece of shit, what do you want?"

"Are you going to pay me back the $40,000 you owe me...? Double it? You think you'll have the money? Double zero is still zero, don't lie to me... I'll give you half a minute, or I'm hanging up."

"..."

Inside the apartment, Cao Gui opened the box and took out a black robe. This robe had thin zinc plates sewn inside, and its main purpose was to target the Chinese people's X-ray vision.

“Great, everything’s ready. Now…” Cao Gui opened his computer and clicked on a profile: Claw Woman.

This is also a superhuman, whose ability is to grow two sharp spikes from below his wrists for attacking... It has to be said, the ability is pretty useless.

Aside from some physical enhancements and increased strength, she has no other outstanding abilities and is far inferior to Wolverine.

Although Wolverine is only 1.6 meters tall, his real superpower is not his claws, but his terrifying healing ability—the ability to heal even after being subjected to a nuclear explosion. Claw Girl, on the other hand, has none of these abilities.

Moreover, she is still a celebrity, although she's past her prime and can only be considered a fourth-rate star now, but a lot of information about her is still easy to find.

……

Today is the annual shareholders' meeting of the super-corporation Vought Corporation. Vought will be distributing profits, announcing plans for the next phase, and... adding a new superhero.

For investors, it's a feast; for the media, it's a hot news story not to be missed; and for other celebrities and superheroes, it's an excellent red carpet event.

A black sedan slowly drove up, and a girl, accompanied by her mother, stepped out.

This is a petite blonde girl, about 1.6 meters tall, very thin, and looks to weigh less than 100 pounds. Her face is slightly immature, and she looks no different from a freshman or sophomore college student who has just entered the workforce.

As Xingguang stepped off the bus and looked at the vast crowd, she felt both nervous and excited, her heart pounding wildly.

"Hello, I'm Ashley Barrett, the head of marketing." Ashley warmly stepped forward to shake hands.

“Uh… hello…” Starlight looked at Ashley. This woman’s mouth is so big… is she also a superhuman?

However, he quickly dismissed the thought and looked at the crowd, asking softly, "Are all these people here for me?"

Starlight's tone was full of anticipation, her eyebrows were raised, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up. She was trying hard to control her expression, but... Starlight found that she couldn't. She managed to control it, but not completely.

“Of course, darling, what else could it be for?” Ashley laughed. She was indeed a naive girl, pitifully innocent.

Inside a stage hall in Water Tower.

"Gentlemen, without a doubt, now is the best time to join the superhero industry," Madeline said passionately, standing under the spotlight.

"Last year, our net income increased by 14%, our latest film grossed 1.7 billion at the box office, and this fall, construction has begun on our new Paris superhero theme park project. The brand will bring endless benefits."

Madeline's words perfectly illustrate the relationship between justice and business; she demonstrates that upholding justice in words does not affect one's business acumen, and may even bring greater profits.

So... Spider-Man is a total noob, he can't even use his money-making abilities to make money... Oh, not really, at least he has a sugar daddy.

Soon, Deep Sea and Starlight took the stage and gave a speech. They spoke very well, but no one in the audience paid attention. These two were just their commodities, commodities to make money. As long as they weren't bad, there was no big problem.

In comparison, they still prefer Madeleine.

Soon, the two left the room, and Deep Sea led Starlight to the meeting hall of the Superhero Seven. This would be her main workplace in the future, and she needed to visit it so that she could familiarize herself with it.

"Uh...where did they all go?"

Starlight looked at the empty conference hall and couldn't help but ask curiously. The attention she had just received had given her a lot of confidence and made her much bolder.

“Homelander and Black are out on a mission.” Deep Sea shrugged. “Maeve has work commitments, Locomotive doesn’t know.”

"Uh... what about the invisible man?"

"Hehehe, it's vanished." The deep-sea monster chuckled, its expression and tone full of schadenfreude.

"Luckily he disappeared, otherwise I wouldn't have been a guest. Homelander and Black were there to find out why the Invisible Man disappeared."

Starlight frowned. Deep Sea's gloating made her very unhappy. How could he treat his companion like that?

"So, it's just the two of us left here?" Starlight looked around, somewhat bewildered, and said.

“Of course.” Shen Hai curled his lips into a lewd smile.

However, when Starlight turned her head, she saw Deep Sea with his pants down.

"Wang Defa! What are you doing?" Xingguang quickly looked away.

"There are only the two of us left here. What do you think I should do?" Deep Sea chuckled.

"On the way here, you said you admired me a lot, and that you even have my posters up in your bedroom. So, come on, kneel down in front of me, and I'll give you a chance to truly admire me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crackling sound rang out, and the electronic screens throughout the conference hall began to shatter. The lights flickered, and golden light shone in Xingguang's eyes, while his golden hair flew wildly without wind.

However, Deep Sea was not afraid at all and chuckled, "Girl, do you know what the strongest superpower is?"

"Power! Power is the strongest superpower."

"I'm the second-in-command of the Super Seven, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Now, kneel down before me!"

Upon hearing this, the flashing lights in the conference hall involuntarily stopped, but Xingguang's face flashed with anger and helplessness.

Chapter 330 I'll be quick

Two kilometers away, Hughie and a bearded man sat in a car, listening intently with headphones on.

This bearded man had thick sideburns that covered most of his chin. He looked exactly like Wolverine, except that Wolverine was only 1.6 meters tall. Apart from the height, he looked very similar to him.

Thanks to Cao Gui's intrusion, Hughie got to know Butcher first, and when he was planting the bug, he was not discovered by the Invisible Man, and successfully and intact planted his bug in the Seven's meeting room.

"The Invisible Man disappeared?" Hughie exclaimed in surprise. "How did this happen? Butcher, did your colleagues do it?"

The bearded man named Butcher raised a finger to signal Hughie to be quiet, then quickly took out a piece of paper and wrote it down. This news was too important for him, and he was extremely excited. He didn't expect to receive such explosive news on the first day. Finding Hughie was definitely the right choice.

As Deepsea and Starlight conversed, Hughie and Butcher gained a better understanding of the Seven's movements. Butcher's expression grew increasingly excited; the bugging device was installed perfectly.

However, compared to Butcher's excitement, Hughie was extremely disappointed. He hadn't heard from Locomotive; that bastard was probably off having a good time somewhere.

"Wang Defak! What are you doing?"

"On the way here, you said you admired me a lot, and that you even have my posters up in your bedroom. So, come on, kneel down in front of me, and I'll give you a chance to truly admire me."

"...Power! Power is the strongest superpower. I am the second-in-command of the Seven...Kneel down before me..."

Immediately following, Deepsea uttered those lewd words, and Hughie's face changed drastically: "Fuck! This Deepsea actually dares to insult a new member? Bullshit!"

"I told you before, all seven of them are trash, scum, the kind that all deserve to die." Butcher didn't react much to this, and even thought Hughie was making a fuss. He had seen even more outrageous things from the Seven Superheroes, let alone this small scene.

"Bullshit, he's not the second-in-command." Butcher curled his lip and said disdainfully as he listened to the conversation in his earpiece. The Seven Superheroes didn't have a second-in-command; they only had a captain, Homelander.

Moreover, Deepsea is incredibly weak. If Deepsea were alone, as long as he wasn't at sea, Butcher could easily take care of this useless guy by himself. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to find that opportunity yet.

"Damn it, we have to save her!" Hughie said quickly. He was an ordinary person, an ordinary person with a little bit of justice, and his first reaction was to save her.

"Bullshit! If you save her, our bugging devices will be exposed!" Butcher glared and roared, "Do you want all the bugging devices we painstakingly installed to be useless?"

"Do you know that this was achieved at the cost of your girlfriend Luo Bin's life?"

Upon hearing this, Hughie's expression turned grim, and he became extremely conflicted. However, the conflicted look quickly disappeared, replaced by a resolute expression.

This bearded man is misrepresenting the facts. The bugging device was indeed installed because of Robin's death, but Robin did not die to install the bugging device.

It was an accident, and what he resented was the inaction of the Walter Company and the locomotive's attitude of treating human life as worthless.

"No, we have to save that girl!" Hughie immediately retorted. "We can't just watch her be humiliated!"
