The Mutant God in American Comics.

Richard didn't really like this kind of show, but in order to complete this world challenge, he had no choice but to follow the marketing plan formulated by the Water Group.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to complete this world challenge before the challenge deadline relying on his own strength.

After waving to the audience, Richard and Xingguang picked up the microphones and greeted the audience briefly according to the words on the teleprompter.

Whether it was the locomotive's speech or the speeches of the two of them, the public relations department of the Water Group had prepared them early in the morning.

All they have to do is speak out what's in the teleprompter.

After finishing the speech prepared by the public relations department, there was nothing else for the two of them to do.

Led by the locomotive, they arrived at the 99th floor, the top floor of the Super Seven Tower.

As the face and signature of the Water Group, members of the Super Seven Team all live in the Super Seven Tower.

The 99th floor of the Super Seven Tower and the several floors below are their living areas and workplaces.

As for the management of the Water Group, such as President Edgar and Vice President Madeline, their offices are on the 82nd floor of the Super Seven Tower.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the conference room on the 99th floor.

Because Deep Sea had been killed by Richard in advance, the person who introduced the Super Seven to them became Locomotive.

Although they are the next teammates, Locomotive is not particularly interested in Richard and Starlight.

In other words, if it weren't for Vice President Madeline's arrangement, he would not be interested in being Richard and Starlight's guide.

After bringing them to the conference room, the locomotive said to the two of them, "This is where we usually hold meetings and discuss important matters. We have two World View 4 satellites in orbit around the earth. They can clearly read the license plate number of the fleeing vehicle at an altitude of more than 600 kilometers."

“Criminal data collected and analysed by intelligence agencies will also be shared on these screens.”

"But these data are useless. Whether to go out and stop them requires joint analysis by the crime analysis department, public relations department, and marketing promotion department."

"Most importantly, the joint action of the Super Seven requires the approval of the motherland."

At this point, the engine paused, pointed to the two seats farthest from the main seat and said, "These two seats originally belonged to the Deep Sea and the Lamplighter. Now they belong to you. You decide where you want to sit."

"If there's anything you don't understand, don't ask me, go find Ashley."

After saying that, without waiting for Richard and Starlight to respond, the locomotive turned and walked towards the door of the conference room.

Then, he disappeared from their sight.

When the locomotive left, Richard came to the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the conference room, looked at the Empire State Building a few streets away, and took a quick look at the night view of Manhattan.

"Um... nice to meet you. You can just call me Annie."

Xingguang came to Richard, stretched out his right hand, and said politely.

"Well, you can also call me Richard or Wesley."

Richard shook hands with Starlight and replied.

“Are you from New York?”

Starlight continued to ask.

"No."

Richard shook his head.

"Which city were you active in before?"

Starlight continued to ask.

Although she had never heard of Richard's name before, she did a quick search for Richard's information on her phone while taking the elevator to the 99th floor.

Then, no heroic activities related to Richard were found.

There is indeed a lot of information about Richard on the Internet now.

But this information is just promotional materials and news produced by the public relations and marketing departments of the Water Group, and there is nothing particularly valuable in it.

The only useful information in it is the introduction to some of Richard's superpowers.

“I haven’t done any hero stuff in any city.”

"To be precise, I've only been in New York for half a month."

Richard turned his head and looked at the starlight, examining it casually.

In terms of appearance and figure, Xingguang's appearance and figure are not particularly bad.

But it's not so good as to topple a whole country.

To put it in a more vivid way, her appearance and figure are in line with the average level of Hollywood female stars.

Although she is not a stunning beauty, among the female heroes in this universe, Xingguang's appearance and figure are already top-notch.

The other heroines, including Queen Maeve, are not as attractive as Starlight.

After noticing that Richard's eyes were looking back and forth over her body without any concealment, Xingguang frowned slightly.

Her first impression of Richard was not a bad one.

But she still didn't like Richard's current look very much.

She is already 23 years old this year and has tasted the forbidden fruit, so she knows very well what Richard's gaze means now.

Although she didn't particularly like Richard's current look, she still kept a kind smile on her face and did not show her dissatisfaction.

Just as she was about to say something else, the closed door of the conference room opened, and Homelander and Queen Maeve walked in one after another.

After seeing Homelander and Queen Maeve, Starlight first showed a surprised expression.

Then, he looked at Homelander and Queen Maeve with excitement.

Like other young people in the United States, Homelander and Queen Maeve are her idols.

She has participated in various superhero auditions since she was a child. On the one hand, it was her mother's request, and on the other hand, she was brainwashed by the Vought Group's overwhelming propaganda and regarded Homelander and Queen Maeve as idols.

Although she wasn't a fanatical fan, she couldn't help but become excited after seeing Homelander and Queen Maeve.

Unlike Starlight who was full of excitement, Richard's expression did not change after seeing Homelander and Queen Maeve, he was as calm as ever.

After arriving in front of the two of them, Homelander smiled the professional smile that he had practiced since childhood and had now become instinctive, and said to the two of them: "Welcome to the Super Seven."

"It's my pleasure!"

Starlight replied immediately.

Richard didn't say anything, just nodded.

After seeing that Richard just nodded in response, his fellow countrymen, who already disliked him, disliked him even more.

However, Homelander did not show his dissatisfaction and continued, "Starlight, you haven't seen your room yet, Maeve, take Starlight to visit. I have something to talk to Silver Angel about."

Although Homelander's tone was calm and there was a smile on his face, Queen Maeve, who knew very well who he was, immediately had a bad feeling.

After thinking for a few seconds, Queen Maeve said, "Okay, Starlight, follow me."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door of the conference room.

After seeing Queen Maeve leave, Starlight immediately followed.

When only himself and Richard were left in the conference room, the smile on Homelander's face immediately disappeared, and he said to Richard with a serious face: "Boy, I don't know why Edgar insisted on arranging for you to join the Super Seven."

"But don't blame me for not reminding you. If you damage the reputation of the Super Seven, I will drive you away even if you are Edgar's man."

Drive me away?

Hearing the threat from his homelander, Richard shook his head with disdain.

Although Homelander has strength far beyond that of ordinary people and is equivalent to a weakened version of Superman, Edgar's evaluation of him is very accurate, that is, Homelander is just a giant baby with great strength.

Even though he is now in his forties, he is still an absolute giant baby.

"Since you've said that, I won't beat around the bush with you."

"First, you don't have the strength to drive me away. To be more precise, you can't even hurt me."

"Second, if you keep a low profile in front of me, you can continue to be the captain of the Super Seven for a while."

"Otherwise, you will be the third person to quit the Super Seven after Lamplighter and Deep Ocean."

Richard looked at his homelander calmly and spoke slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the Homelander rang out.

"Insanity!"

The Homelander's eyes glowed red, as if they were ready to emit heat rays at any moment.

"It's not that I'm arrogant, it's that you're ignorant!"

"Since you don't believe it, I'll let you experience it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Richard appeared behind Homelander like a ghost and grabbed his shoulders.

Teleportation!

Without any hesitation, he immediately performed teleportation and took Homelander out of the Super Seven Tower and arrived above the forest where he had demonstrated his superpowers in front of Edgar last time.

After performing teleportation, he exerted a little force with his right hand and threw Homelander out.

In just a blink of an eye, Homelander was thrown hundreds of meters away.

He did not continue to attack Homelander, but allowed Homelander to regain his balance.

As Homelander floated in the air, glaring at him angrily, he continued:

"If you can hold on for one minute, I will immediately quit the Super Seven."

One minute?

After hearing Richard's words, the anger on Homelander's face became more obvious.

"I'll give you this sentence again. If you can hold on for one minute, I will also..."

Before Homelander could finish his words, Richard once again performed teleportation and instantly appeared in front of Homelander.

Heat ray!

Two red high-temperature heat rays shot out from his eyes like lasers and instantly hit the Homelander's chest.

Although he possesses many superpowers, Richard does not intend to use too many of them to bully Homelander now.

Compared with ordinary people, the reaction speed of our countrymen is indeed very fast.

But unfortunately, the person attacking him now is Richard.

The moment Homelander was hit in the chest by the heat ray fired by Richard, his expression became a little ugly.

Although he has not been injured by the heat rays fired by Richard, he has already confirmed one thing, that is, the temperature of Richard's heat rays is higher than his.

The heat rays, with an incredibly high temperature, instantly melted the uniform on his chest.

At the same time, he felt a heat he had never felt before.

How can this be?

An expression of disbelief appeared on Homelander's face.

Although heat rays are not a superpower exclusive to him, they are not so common either.

More importantly, at this moment he experienced the severe pain of being burned by high-temperature heat rays.

Although he didn't know why Richard had heat rays with a temperature higher than his own, Homelander quickly calmed down.

He immediately used his flying ability to try to avoid Richard's heat ray attack.

However, he had just flown less than a meter when Richard's heat ray hit him again.

This time, the heat ray fired by Richard hit his back, completely burning his American flag cape and the uniform on his back.

In just a few seconds, his uniform became tattered and he looked extremely disheveled.

The people of our country, who had never experienced such a thing, immediately felt an uncontrollable anger in their hearts.

kill him!

He must be killed!

As soon as this thought came into Homelander's mind, Richard came in front of him and hit his chest with his right fist like a cannonball.

Bang!

The dull sound of beating sounded like a war drum!
