A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Uh... why aren't we there yet?" Mezmer asked, puzzled. "I remember the Crime Analysis Department is on the sixtieth floor, right?"

“It’s changed. It’s now the seventy-fourth floor,” Trevor said calmly.

However, at that moment, the elevator lights suddenly flickered twice, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Mezmer looked up in confusion: "Why hasn't Walter replaced his old equipment?"

“Bullshit, this elevator was only installed two years ago, it can’t be old.” Trevor said with displeasure.

However, at that moment, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flash by. With a crack, the camera shattered, the lights went out, and the entire elevator was plunged into darkness.

“Wang Defa…” Tefrey was startled and cursed angrily.

However, at that moment, an incredibly hard and terrifyingly strong hand gripped Trevor's neck, and a cold, female voice rang out: "Tell me, where is that bearded security guard you brought back?"

Then, from the faint light above his head, Trevor saw a person wearing a silver-gray metallic mask.

Asking that question makes you the killer who killed the Invisible Man!

Trevor was shocked and said with difficulty, "On the seventy-fourth floor...the Criminal Analysis Department..."

There's not much to say. He's just an employee; he's not going to sacrifice his life for Walter.

"Oh, shit!" Only after Cao Gui found out the unknown details of the target did Mezmer realize that he was in danger.

"Shit shit..." Mezmer frantically pressed the elevator buttons, trying to open the elevator door, but the elevator did not respond at all.

Cao Gui reached out with one hand, grabbed Mezmer's neck, which was now just a slit, and twisted it forcefully. With a crack, Mezmer's head lolled to the side, and he died instantly.

Cao Gui did not discard the corpse, but put it into his [System Backpack]. He didn't know if any superhumans could use the corpse for their own purposes, so to be on the safe side, he could only keep it for now.

As for this Trevor... he was so scared he wet himself. Cao Gui didn't pay him any attention. His disguise was so convincing that even a Homelander couldn't see through it, let alone an ordinary person.

Clang!

At that moment, a long sword suddenly pierced through the elevator door, and with a hiss, a huge gash was opened.

Outside the door, Maeve viciously flung aside her longsword, stretched out both hands, shouted, grabbed the elevator door, and ripped it open with all her might.

"Sang Bichi! You can't escape now!" Maeve roared, but the elevator only contained a terrified Trevor. There were no enemies, not even Mezmer or Mezmer's corpse.

"Shit, what's going on?" Maeve exclaimed angrily.

Trevor cautiously extended his index finger and pointed to the emergency exit of the elevator above, which was already open.

"Damn it!" Maeve's face suddenly turned ugly. As she ran up to the seventy-fourth floor, she pressed her earpiece and shouted, "Everyone on the seventy-fourth floor, immediately move that security guard! The enemy has gone to your side!"

"Homelander! Locomotive! Are you two fucking dead? Why haven't you come back yet!?"

Just as the surveillance system malfunctioned, Maeve immediately contacted the two people patrolling outside, but even though A-Train and Homelander were fast, it still took some time.

They are just fast, not teleporting!

“You hold him off, I’m almost there!” Homelander replied in a deep voice.

"I'll be there soon too!" That's the sound of the locomotive.

The 74th floor.

Upon receiving Maeve's message, the Vought security personnel immediately grabbed the Confidential guard that Homelander had brought back and moved him toward the safe house.

However, just as the five armed security guards pulled the target out, they saw a figure in a black robe outside the door.

"Shit! Enemy attack!" the security guards shouted, opening fire with their guns.

However, the black-robed figure swayed slightly, and countless bullets were fired, but to no avail.

The next moment, with a clang, a gleaming blade suddenly flashed from within the black robe, its dazzling light momentarily blinding the security guards. Then…

Puff puff!

Five large, healthy heads shot into the air, their crimson blood instantly staining the exquisite interior of the Water Company, and the heavy stench of blood immediately enveloped Miwo Security.

"Damn it..." Miwo security guard froze, a chill suddenly shooting from his heels to the top of his head.

In their line of sight, a black robe fluttered lightly, and a flash of light shot out in an instant. Before the Miwo security guard could react, he felt a chill on his forehead.

A sharp blade pierced through the front and back of his head.

"Thank goodness... I didn't die in pain..." This thought inexplicably arose in Miwo Security. The next moment, darkness descended, consciousness faded, and his world was cut off.

Cao Gui reached out and grabbed it, putting it into his [System Backpack]. He breathed a slight sigh of relief; the crisis was temporarily resolved.

Just then, Cao Gui suddenly felt a chill and instinctively turned around to raise his knife to block.

Clang!

A flash of silver light slashed down, the powerful force striking Cao Gui's military saber and sending sparks flying.

She was a woman with light red hair, a beautiful and dignified face, a curvaceous figure, and a heroic and spirited demeanor.

Queen Maeve: If we're talking about who's the strongest member of the Seven besides Homelander, then this woman is undoubtedly the one.

But at this moment, her face was filled with rage. Five security guards were dead, and their carefully protected target had disappeared just like Mezmer. The Super Seven had suffered a crushing defeat this time!

"Damn bastard, you can't escape now!" Maeve narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, gritted her teeth, and continued to exert force on her longsword, trying to force Cao Gui to surrender.

However, her expression quickly changed. The power she was so proud of was now completely useless, like a stone sinking into the sea.

“You…” Maeve’s face paled. The next moment, the black-robed figure flicked his wrist, and a powerful force suddenly struck from the blade.

Maeve's body trembled, her body rose uncontrollably, and she stumbled backward.

This person is that strong? Their power is definitely no less than mine!

Maeve was horrified. On the other side, Cao Gui stomped his foot, and with a crack, the tiles shattered. He suddenly raised his long sword and transformed into a black shadow, attacking in an instant.

Maeve felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively raised her longsword to protect herself.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, Maeve's longsword shattered instantly, while the long saber, undeterred, slashed fiercely at Maeve's forehead.

clang!

However, it was Cao Gui who was surprised this time. His military knife suddenly snapped, and half of the blade spun and fell to the ground.

Maeve staggered backward, a gash appearing on her forehead from which bright red blood flowed continuously.

Cao Gui frowned. This knife was just an ordinary military knife, and Cao Gui hadn't imbued it with any domineering aura. However, he was still shocked by the woman's physical strength; he hadn't expected her to be so tough.

Cao Gui waved one hand, and a dark, domineering aura enveloped the broken sword. "Since that's the case," he thought, "let's test this domineering aura..."

At this moment, Cao Gui's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was startled. Two people had entered the range of his Observation Haki, and they were moving very fast.

The enemy has returned to reinforce!

Cao Gui lightly touched the ground with his feet and floated backward, his body slowly drifting into the darkness.

The next moment, a scarlet light shone in front, two beams of heat shot in, and with them came the angry Homelanders.

Clang!

Homelander crashed through the glass curtain wall of the Water Tower, and his thermal vision left two charred marks where Cao Gui had just been standing, but...

"That damn bastard, he still got away!" Homelander gritted his teeth, seething with anger.

Chapter 337 Frustrated Homelander (Second Update)

"Breaking news! Vought International has been attacked!"

"Why was Walter, who possessed the powerful superhuman Seven, attacked? It's because of the Invisible Man's corpse; they were all out, hahaha..."

"The entire Walt Disney Company was completely outmaneuvered. I remember there's a Chinese idiom that goes something like this: 'luring the tiger away from the mountain'?"

"Yes, yes, that's the word, hahaha..."

"According to the latest news from the Department of Defense, the bill to allow superheroes to work in the Department of Defense, which was passed some time ago, has been put on hold indefinitely. The spokesperson said that such a stupid Vought, such a stupid superhero, even if they have fighting power far exceeding that of ordinary people, are destined to perish."

"The Department of Defense doesn't need superheroes, America doesn't need superheroes, what the American people need is the guns in their hands. Welcome to purchase our AR-15, only it can protect you!"

"..."

Inside the conference hall of Water Tower, the atmosphere was heavy and gloomy. The seven Water Tower superheroes were dejected, having lost both face and substance this time.

Starting today, the Seven will no longer represent invincibility or the strongest. Moreover, Vought International's long-awaited plan to have superheroes stationed at the Department of Defense has been completely scrapped.

The previously favorable situation was completely shattered, and everything was back to square one, with all the previous hard work going to waste.

However, none of this mattered to Maeve. She had done her best; didn't you see that even her tough body was scratched? The only enemies who killed her were Homelander and A-Train's reinforcements; otherwise, she might have died.

So it's not that she didn't try, but that her enemies were too powerful.

Maeve took a mirror, used tweezers to pick up a cotton ball, dipped it in alcohol to disinfect it, and also applied some wound medicine to herself.

“Wow, this is a feeling I’ve never experienced before.” Maeve wiped her forehead in surprise. “So this is what pain feels like… It’s amazing, the first time I’ve ever felt this since I was born… Uh, I guess I’m on my period.”

"Maeve, that's enough!" Homelander snapped, his face grim. "What we need to deal with now is the serious problem of declining reputation and losing fans. Stop worrying about whether it hurts or not."

"Furthermore, our plan to station personnel at the Ministry of National Defense has completely failed!"

"What does that have to do with me?" Maeve said nonchalantly.

“I’m injured, but my fans will definitely feel sorry for me and won’t stop supporting me. As for being stationed at the Department of Defense… that’s a company matter. I’m just an employee of Vought, not a leader.”

Upon hearing this, Deepsea and Train twitched at the corners of their mouths. In the whole incident, Maeve should be considered a winner compared to them. She was injured, although it was just a scratch, but it still made fans feel sorry for her. Moreover, she was the only hero who stayed in Vought and faced the enemy alone.

But they were different. They foolishly went out, allowing someone to take advantage of their situation, and in the end, they couldn't get back in time. Even if they did get back, they couldn't catch the enemy.

What? You're saying this was Madeline's doing, and has nothing to do with the superheroes?

Haha, neither Locomotive nor Deep Sea dared to say that within the company, let alone in the media. They could only help Madeline take the blame for being stupid.

"Alright, everyone disperse." Homelander waved his hand dejectedly and said helplessly, "Don't appear in public for a while, and don't say anything careless, or I'll have a chat with you about life."

Inside Madeleine's office.

"Eee... Ya ya ya... Yeah..." A little baby drooled and kept patting Madeline's desk with its two tender white hands, looking very happy.

Although Madeline looked tired, she still held the child and happily comforted him.

When Homelander came in, he saw Madeline playing with the child and immediately became furious.

“Madeline, such a big thing happened to the company, and you actually…” Homelander took a deep breath, staring at the child in Madeline’s arms, his eyes somewhat fierce.
