“Kid, if you dare do that, I’ll break your legs right now!” Butcher sneered, grabbing Hughie by the collar and threatening him.

The murderous aura he had accumulated over the years on the battlefield suddenly pressed down on Hughie like a mountain, and the once incredibly tough Hughie immediately wilted.

He swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "But... what about that girl? We can't leave her unsaid."

"It's not murder, don't worry. In New York, this kind of thing isn't a crime."

Butcher said nonchalantly, and seeing that Hughie was dejected, he loosened Hughie's collar. This guy was a bit timid, and he couldn't be frightened.

"Okay... fine." Hughie wiped away his cold sweat and said, "I'm going downstairs for some fresh air. I don't want to hear any of this."

Butcher waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Butcher was very generous about this, after all, Hughie was just an ordinary person and one couldn't expect too much.

Hughie nodded, opened the car door, glanced at Butcher wearing earmuffs, and quickly walked to the back of the car to make a phone call:

"Hello, I have some breaking news to share. Deep Sea, one of the Super Seven, is insulting Starlight, who joined the group, right here in the conference room."

"Uh... are you kidding me?"

"No, I planted a bug there. I heard it with my own ears, and I have the original recording file. But if you don't believe me, that's fine. I'll contact other media outlets."

Hughie hung up the phone immediately. The person on the other end of the line was from a mainstream media outlet, and they certainly wouldn't report this kind of news, but that was exactly what Hughie wanted.

Mainstream media outlets tend to report only good news, especially since they have a partnership with Walter. Therefore, they would definitely contact Walter immediately, not to mention that Hughie Hay revealed the wiretapping.

But Hughie didn't stop. He actually dialed an entertainment news outlet and recounted the incident again. This matter had to be exposed so that the world could see the evil deeds of the Super Seven.

Suddenly, Hughie felt a sharp pain in his face as a fist slammed into him. Butcher glared at him fiercely, thinking, "This idiot, wasting such a good bugging device for a woman he doesn't even know."

"You idiot!" Butcher roared.

“You’ve been exposed! You’ve been exposed to Walter’s eyes! They can easily find out it was you who met with the locomotive, and that you planted the bugging device. Your father will also be hunted down by Walter!”

Butcher stomped on Hughie's phone, dragged him into the car, and sped off, picking up Hughie's father along the way.

……

Inside the Water Tower, in the conference hall.

Seeing the starlight flickering with anger and helplessness, Deep Sea shrugged and continued, "Listen, girl, I can kick you out of here with just one word."

“It all started because you attacked me.” Shenhai pointed to the cracked screen: “And you attacked me when your manic-aggressive personality was flaring up.”

"The next day, the whole world was filled with news: America's sweetheart, the guardian of Iowa, Starlight, mentally unstable, attacked the deep sea, girl, you will be despised by the world and become a disgrace to your mother."

Starlight clenched her fists, veins bulging on her fair forehead; she wished she could twist this bastard's head off.

Deep Sea, however, was unconcerned and continued, "Or, you can sacrifice two or three minutes of your time to do something small."

"Don't worry, I'm very fast, sometimes it takes less than half a minute."

The Deep Sea took its speed to a whole new level, but Starlight had no intention of laughing at all.

Seeing her silence, Shenhai knew it was almost done. He walked to the chair, sat down, and spread his legs to signal Xingguang to come over.

Starlight's chewing muscles bulged, she gritted her teeth and slowly closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

"it is good……"

Deep Sea's face lit up with joy as it awaited the arrival of starlight, however...

The door suddenly opened, and Madeline walked in with Ashley and a large group of security personnel.

"Oh, shit!" Deep Sea was shocked and almost frightened.

Madeline walked right up to him, raised her hand, and slapped him across the face.

Snapped!

Deep Sea was stunned and rolled under the table.

Chapter 331 Walter's Response (First Update)

Queens, unfinished building.

Homelander grabbed Black, and the two flew together to the thirty-second floor, arriving at the room according to the route Deep Sea had given them.

Xuanse carefully avoided the marks on the ground, squatted down and observed carefully. Just as Shenhai had said, there was only one person's footprint and some drag marks.

"Black, what have you discovered?" Homelander asked calmly, floating off the ground.

"They are indeed the footprints of an invisible man, and there are also traces of chains." Xuan Se took out a pen and paper and wrote down a sentence. He was injured and could not speak.

Is there anything else?

“Fragments of a nine-millimeter bullet, and a cartridge case,” Xuanse continued, noting that several fragments had been found in the accumulated sand and dust.

"Huh?" Homelander was taken aback. Wasn't the enemy a superhuman? Why were they using guns against an invisible person?

"What are your thoughts?" Homelander asked. The on-site investigation led them to the opposite conclusion, and for a moment, Homelander felt completely bewildered.

"Perhaps he's an ordinary person, or perhaps he's someone with superpowers in guns," Xuanse wrote.

"Let's leave ordinary people aside for now; they don't have the ability or the guts," Homelander waved his hand dismissively.

"Tell me about people with superpowers related to guns. I remember your former teammate Gunpowder had this ability, right? Could he be the mastermind?"

"That's not necessarily true," Xuan Se wrote.

"Although gunpowder is weak, it still has the ability to kill an invisible person. After all, an invisible person's eyes, mouth, and internal organs are not bulletproof."

"Shit!"

The man from the motherland took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, pursed his lips, put his hands on his hips, and looked somewhat annoyed. "You annoying bugs, come out if you dare, and let's have a real fight!"

"Alright, go find out about the gunpowder situation. If there's any suspect, arrest them." Homelander patted Blackie on the shoulder:

"I'll go check out that so-called secret hideout and see if there are any clues there."

"Yes, Captain!"

"Let's go."

……

In Brooklyn, in a somewhat old-looking apartment, the "Claw Woman" sits on a yoga mat, slowly performing various challenging yoga poses.

Upstairs, Cao Gui sat in front of his computer and saw this scene on the screen. He had installed a nanny surveillance camera in the woman's house, the kind hidden inside a doll.

I have to say, Monster Girl is no wonder she's been in Hollywood; she has a great figure, short black hair, a pretty face, and a butt that's just as good as Captain America's... Wait, why am I comparing a woman to a man?

Cao Gui touched his nose, his attention continuing to focus on the Claw Woman. He had to admit, the Claw Woman was a very good candidate for a role, quite nice. Apart from the freckles on her face slightly affecting her appearance, everything else was perfect.

Most importantly, she's still a married woman... Cao Gui's lips twitched. What's going on? Am I having another episode? Why am I thinking about these things for no reason?

Cao Gui shook his head, banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind, and focused his attention back on the video.

With a click, the door opened, and the locomotive walked in, looking utterly dejected.

At this moment, the "Claw Woman" was sitting on the yoga mat in a split, her head tilted back, her upper body forming a breathtaking arc. Cao Gui couldn't help but worry about her waist.

The perfect curves accentuate the curves of the chest, creating a beautiful and pleasing aesthetic.

However, faced with such a beautiful view, the locomotive only glanced at it indifferently, then plopped down on the sofa and sprawled out in a relaxed, lazy pose.

This surprised not only Cao Gui, who was observing from the sidelines, but even the "Claw Woman" herself. The Train Head wasn't usually like this. Her purpose in practicing yoga was for the Train Head. Although he didn't know how to appreciate, he knew how to enjoy.

But why is there no reaction at all today? Is he injured somewhere? The Claw Woman looked at the train engine with concern and was very puzzled.

“Honey, is something bothering you? You don’t seem happy.” The woman with the claws got up from the yoga mat, stretched her body a little, and then sat down against the train engine.

"Today is the shareholders' meeting of the Water Corporation," the locomotive said, tilting its head and looking at the woman with claws.

"I know." The woman nodded; with all the news coverage, it was impossible for her not to know.

"I originally had a chance to be a guest, but the Invisible Man took it away from me..." the train engine said weakly.

"An invisible man?" The Claw Woman looked at the train engine with a puzzled expression. "Isn't it supposed to be the deep sea?"

"What... never mind, it has nothing to do with me." The locomotive straightened up, but then went slumped back down.

"Don't be sad, in my heart, you'll always be the best," the Claw Woman said sweetly, hugging the black head of the train engine.

Upstairs, Cao Gui looked disgusted. It served her right that the "Claw Woman" was just a fourth-rate starlet. Even the ladies in the San Fernando Valley knew that you shouldn't touch a mud-dog; it would lower your status, and lower it terribly.

Cao Gui's barely aroused interest vanished instantly; trash touched by a mud dog, who would want it?

"Has the matter with that girl been resolved?" the cunning woman asked.

"That? I haven't touched any other women besides you." The train engine couldn't get up for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"It's the girl you smashed."

"Oh, her? She's done." The locomotive waved his hand dismissively, saying, "She was just some nameless piece of trash. There's no need to worry about her. She has no impact on me whatsoever."

“I only paid $45,000 to settle this, which is less than the price of one of your lingerie sets.”

"That's good." The woman with the devilish claws smiled, slid down to the ground, grabbed his calf, picked up the black foot of the train engine, and began to gently kiss his toes.

"Oh...shit!" The locomotive shuddered, its black face flushed red, and it roared to the sky:

"Oh! Shit!"

The woman with the claws lowered the train engine's foot in confusion. "That's... all right?"

"Honey, is something bothering you?" The woman, who knew how to protect a man's pride, asked softly.

"Shockwave," the locomotive said, pointing to the advertisement that had just aired on television.

"Do you know what Madeline told me? If I'm second, I'll have to quit the Super Seven."

"The Seven are the strongest superhuman organization and cannot tolerate second place in the world."

The woman with the claws didn't know what to say, so she could only gently kiss the train engine.

"Where's compound number five? Where did you put it?"

Cao Gui's expression immediately brightened, and he finally got down to business!

“Baby, you can’t use that thing anymore.” The woman with the claws frowned and said, “Although it can enhance your abilities, it will make you lose control and make you sink deeper and deeper.”

"I can stay conscious, I'll be fine." Locomotive stroked the Claw Woman's short hair. "I'm going to compete against Shockwave the day after tomorrow, I can't lose!"
