Cao Gui stroked his chin. It seemed that Compound V had caused the mud dog to lose control, which led to Luo Bin's death. The thing in his bag was very likely this same thing.
Now there's only one question left: where is this locomotive taking this compound number five?
Based on current information, compound 5 is a special drug, but why would it be transported by the "world's fastest man"?
And where should it be sent?
Cao Gui's eyes gleamed. This problem was easy to solve; he could just get the answer from the locomotive. In other words, it was time to... kill him by destroying his spirit!
As for the timing... let's set it for the match three days from now!

Chapter 332 The Patriots' Investigation, Cao Gui's Oversight (Second Update)
In Hell's Kitchen, in a back alley, Homelander knocked on the prison-like door.
Upon seeing Homelander's arrival, the security guards inside respectfully opened the door.
"I've come to ask you a few questions," Homelander said calmly, his hands behind his back.
"Please speak," the security guard said, bowing his head and avoiding eye contact.
How long has the Invisible Man stayed here?
The security guard paused for a moment, then began to recall, before shaking his head: "In my memory, there was no such thing as the arrival of the invisible man."
"Perhaps he didn't deactivate his invisibility, so I never saw him at all."
Upon hearing this, Patriot frowned: "Pull up the surveillance video and let me see it."
"This way, please."
The security guard led Homelander to the monitoring room, but after scanning the surveillance footage, Homelander had to give up, finding no clues whatsoever.
"Didn't you encounter any strange people yesterday?" Homelander could only ask helplessly, his trail trail broken.
"No..." The monitoring staff shook their heads subconsciously, then thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Yes, there is one."
"Say!"
“He was an Asian man who came looking for the train engine. He said he and the train engine were good friends, so I showed him the surveillance video.”
"Locomotive?" Homelander frowned. Could this still be related to the locomotive...? That shouldn't be possible. He was preparing for his match against Shockwave and didn't have the energy to be distracted.
Moreover, even if it were him, what benefit would he gain? Absolutely nothing. If Shockwave wins, he will still replace Locomotive. Even if there is an extra spot for the Invisible Man, it won't be given to Locomotive.
With this in mind, the homelander can basically rule out the locomotive as a suspect in this matter.
"Get the CCTV footage of that Asian guy," Homelander said.
“No,” the bearded security guard shook his head and said, “That’s what’s strange about him. I’ve clearly seen him before, but I can’t find him in the surveillance video.”
"What?" Homelander looked surprised, then became very interested in this person.
“Here’s what we’ll do: copy the surveillance video, then come with me to Walter.” Homelander said, patting the bearded security guard on the shoulder.
"I'll introduce you to a new job. How about Vought Security? It's $10,000 a month."
The bearded security guard's eyes lit up immediately: "No problem, I can do it!"
"Let's go!"
……
At this moment, inside the Water Tower.
With a thud, Shen Hai rolled off the chair and under the table, still naked in front of a large group of security personnel.
"What... what's going on?" Shen Hai was completely bewildered. I just did something bad, why are so many people coming to arrest me?
Wouldn't it be beneath my dignity as the ruler of the seven seas?
Not to mention the deep sea, even the starlight was obscured at this moment. Originally... she was almost giving in, but unexpectedly, things took a sudden turn for the better.
"What... happened?"
The sudden turn of events left her both relieved and relieved. This incident also taught her a lesson: never be alone in a room with a strange man, even if you could beat him.
"Ms. Steelville, what happened?" Deep Sea asked, lying on the ground, utterly shameless.
"What happened?" Madeline asked, her face dark and barely containing her anger.
"Your conversation has been tapped, and they even called the media. The recording of that call will soon be circulating all over the United States!"
In an instant, Shenhai felt his scalp go numb, and a large amount of blood rushed back to his head, causing his face to turn from pale to flushed red.
"Ms. Steelville, you have to help me with this crisis management!" Deep Sea shouted, grabbing Madeleine's leg and pleading.
"Shit! Put the fuck on your pants!" Madeline kicked Deepsea in disgust.
This scene deeply shocked Xingguang, who felt that her worldview had been completely overturned. The once seemingly righteous Lord of the Seven Oceans, Deep Sea, was now howling like a defeated dog. Just two minutes ago, he had tried to molest her.
Is the entire Seven Superheroes group like this? Starlight's face paled slightly. Her long-held dream had come true today, but it didn't seem as wonderful as she had imagined.
Starlight gritted her teeth, her mind in turmoil, at a loss for what to do.
Madeline glanced at her, then smiled and said, "Starlight, don't worry, we won't let you get hurt."
"We, the Seven Superheroes, are an organization that represents justice and light. Please do not doubt us."
"This guy is just temporarily brain-damaged, don't worry about him. In the group of seven, you only need to follow Homelander's orders. You don't need to care about anyone else, no matter who they are."
Madeline's gentle smile calmed Xingguang's chaotic emotions somewhat, but her doubts did not disappear.
She experienced such a disgusting thing on her first day at the company. Even if it was an individual act, there must be some problems with the company culture and the way employees interact.
Upon realizing this, the wariness in Xingguang's eyes intensified.
At this point, Madeline was no longer in the mood to care about Starlight. The security personnel pulled a small piece of black chip from under the table.
Black, round, very thin, made entirely of plastic, it looks like a large button. Just from its appearance, you can tell that it is well-made.
Madeline's face immediately turned cold. Someone was targeting their Water Company, and the other party was no small force; they might even be from national-level agencies like the CIA or FBI!
"Analyze this thing immediately, and find out who planted this listening device!" Madeline ordered sternly.
"Ashley, help Deepsea prepare an apology speech. Starlight, you need to attend and forgive Deepsea in front of everyone."
Shenhai looked at Xingguang pitifully. He knew that whether his apology would be successful and whether the audience would forgive him depended entirely on Xingguang's attitude.
"I refuse!" Starlight said fiercely, "I can never forgive him!"
Madeline's smile froze. One after another, they were all so troublesome. First, it was the Invisible Man, then Homelander, and now the Deep Sea and Starlight.
The shareholders' meeting wasn't even over yet, and things were already in complete chaos for the seven-member group!
Taking a deep breath, Madeline knew that Starlight was young and impetuous, and she couldn't suppress her, otherwise the girl would really leave.
What will the shareholders think then? Xingguang, who had only been with the company for one day, not only faced bullying but was also fired…
What followed was shareholder distrust and a drop in stock price!
Thinking of this, Madeline had no choice but to patiently say:
"Starlight, in other people's eyes, the Super Seven are a unit, good brothers and good friends. If you are relentless, people will think you are not a team player, and it is very likely that you will lose support here very quickly and will not be able to stay here for long."
Upon hearing this, Starlight's face darkened. She couldn't forgive Deepsea, but she also didn't want to lose her job, which was her dream since childhood.
Seeing Starlight's expression, Madeline knew Starlight was wavering, so she patted her on the shoulder and said:
"How about this, if anyone bullies you again, just fight back yourself. As long as you can beat them, I won't pursue the matter, okay?"
“…Fine!” Upon hearing this, Starlight didn’t refuse again: “But I have one request: make this bastard apologize to me right now!”
Madeline breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it was all settled. The immediate crisis was over, and there would be plenty of ways to deal with this little girl in the future.
"Deep Sea, apologize!"
Deep Sea stammered as he approached Starlight: "I...I'm sorry, I apologize, I shouldn't have..."
However, at this moment, Starlight's eyes lit up with golden light, and he suddenly kicked Deepsea in the groin.
Bang!
"Awooo!" Deep Sea's eyes bulged out, and he rolled around incessantly, clutching his crotch.
Madeline remained expressionless. Serves her right!
“Get back to your posts and get back to work.” Madeline turned and left. “Ashley, handle the crisis management.”
"Yes, Ms. Steelville!"

There's more to come, dear readers, please wait a bit.

Chapter 333 Starlight (Third Update)
The next day, morning.
"Starlight, what about the Seven? What kind of person is Homelander?"
In the park, Xingguang sat under an apple tree, her legs curled up, listening to her mother's excited questions on the other end of the phone.
“I… my homeland is very busy, I haven’t met him yet, but Deep Sea…” Starlight took a deep breath, her eyes reddening slightly: “Mom, there’s something I want to tell you…”
"Oh, by the way, Starlight, you know what? Last night I played mahjong with Mrs. Patty. She used to always talk about how her daughter was in medical school and all that, but now she didn't dare say a word." Starlight's mother's tone was cheerful and excited.
"Do you know why? Because you became one of the Super Seven yesterday! Hahaha..."
Hearing her mother's proud tone on the other end, Xingguang swallowed hard. A thousand words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't say a word.
"By the way, what were you trying to say just now?"
"No...it's nothing, everything's fine, Mom." Xingguang's voice trembled even more: "Mom, I have to hang up now, you know...I'm very busy."
Without waiting for her mother's reply, she hung up the phone.
Behind the apple tree, Cao Gui, munching on a sandwich, looked over with some curiosity. Sure enough, it was Starlight, the newest member of the Super Seven.
Although he didn't use his Observation Haki, his senses still picked up the entire phone call.
