Chapter 126 Use the Fist of Justice on Her!
Bruce is now temporarily in a state of aimlessness.
The soldier boy was overruled by him, and the dagger could not be found for the time being.
He could only try to see if there was any other way to make his fellow countrymen bleed.
……
"Bruce, hold me tight."
Queen Maeve said to Bruce with a smile.
Batboy looked harmless and hugged Queen Maeve's waist tightly.
Then Maeve jumped up and leaped high into the air.
She kept rising and falling, and every time she fell to the ground, she would create a big hole.
"Will this cause public dissatisfaction?"
Bruce felt the wind whistling in his ears and shouted to Queen Maeve.
Maeve smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm watching the road!"
Soon, they landed at a crime scene that was fully cordoned off. Someone had taken several hostages and was hiding in the building and refusing to come out.
After landing, Bruce consciously let go of Maeve's waist.
"It's okay if you want to hug me a little longer," Queen Maeve joked.
"Don't make fun of me."
Bruce said with his head down.
He is now quite familiar with Queen Maeve and knows that compared to other superheroes in Vought Corporation, she has some bottom line.
When Homelander kills people, Maeve doesn't stop him, but she tries not to get involved.
Compared to others, Maeve is a beautiful and kind person.
But in Bruce's opinion, she was not a good person at all. She always liked to play jokes on him, and sometimes they didn't even seem like jokes.
He is still a child and can't bear to hear this.
"alright."
Maeve said with a smile that seeing Bruce's overwhelmed expression, she didn't feel tired at work anymore.
This is much more comfortable than working with my fellow countrymen.
"Follow me closely, I will take you to carry out the mission."
Bruce followed Maeve to the cordoned-off scene.
"Queen Maeve, wizard, you are here!"
A police officer immediately came to greet the two superheroes, feeling relieved upon seeing them approach.
"I'm relieved that you can come. There are at least seven hostages in danger now!"
"Don't worry officer!"
Queen Maeve is full of confidence. In front of Bruce, she is an omnipotent hero!
"What time is it?" she asked.
The officer checked his watch: "Nine ten."
"five minutes!"
Maeve spread out five fingers, "All hostages will be safe before 9:15!"
She took Bruce with her and walked into the building occupied by robbers without hesitation.
After entering the building, Maeve asked Bruce with a smile: "How was it? The police officer was stunned just now."
"I was stunned, too."
Bruce was a little worried, "Is five minutes really okay?"
"No problem, actually I only need three minutes."
Maeve said, “Actually, this is how hero performances work, you have to take the initiative to give them some topics to talk about.
“For example, this time, we could have gone straight into the building to deal with the criminals without appearing in front of them, and we could have saved some time.
"But then we won't be seen, and without news coverage, our work would be in vain."
Maeve is the only one among the seven who would teach Bruce in this way.
She always said that the crime scene was the stage, the hero was the protagonist, and the common people were the audience.
The audience has to be satisfied with the show so that they will be willing to continue to support you.
You have to be in front of the audience all the time.
Some heroes who are almost out of fashion would rather make shocking remarks and do incomprehensible things than disappear in front of the audience.
"So you must remember this, Bruce."
Queen Maeve said, "Attention is everything we rely on to survive. Without attention, you will return to the life of an ordinary person."
Katum concluded: "In short, you can not live, but you can not live without."
When Queen Maeve arrived here, she didn't bring her owl.
He flew here by himself.
Bruce respected his own character very much. He nodded to Maeve and thanked her, saying that he would remember it.
If you don't work hard to be a hero, you can only go back to being an ordinary billionaire.
I believe no one wants to live such a dull and boring life.
……
If Queen Maeve says five minutes, then that's five minutes.
The officer kept an eye on his watch, counting the time.
Just when the pointer reached the last moment, several gangsters were tied up and fell from the sky and landed in front of the police officer.
There was no blood or flesh flying everywhere; Queen Maeve had obviously calculated the strength well.
We will be taking pictures later, so some scenes that shouldn’t appear should not appear.
"They have accomplices and follow-up plans."
Queen Maeve and Bruce appear before the officer.
“They’re pretty tough.”
Maeve punched a gangster on the back, and he screamed in pain.
"I interrogated them three times before they were willing to talk," Maeve said. "You should interrogate them a few more times when you go back. They are a tough bunch."
"No! No!"
Suddenly, some criminals started to protest their innocence.
"We are not strong at all!" he cried, "Actually I wanted to confess the first time, but it hurt so much that I couldn't speak."
Maeve threw another punch: "So you mean I was too harsh?"
"Not cruel! Not cruel!" The criminal immediately begged for mercy.
Bruce was standing nearby, and when he saw Queen Maeve's aura, he suddenly thought of a question.
"Katum," he asked, "Does Queen Maeve and the Homelanders have what it takes to fight?"
"Yes, and she can also shed the blood of her motherland."
Katum said bluntly, "But you can try. She definitely wouldn't dare to attack her countrymen now. She's afraid of them."
Queen Maeve can indeed make Homelander bleed. In the TV series, she pierced Homelander's ear with a pen.
But the Maeve who was ready to die at that time was not the Maeve of today. When Maeve fought with the Homelanders, the Homelanders shed blood, but she lost her life.
She would never agree to that.
"The power of fear again?"
Bruce sighed, "From this perspective, even if Homelander becomes weaker in the future, it will still be able to prosper for a while."
After all, his reputation has already been established. He doesn't have to do anything and others will imagine how powerful he is.
"But I won't do that!"
Bruce thought that if they could get rid of Homelander, Vought Company would have no one to rely on.
By then, the era of superhumans will be over.
"Bruce, let's go."
Queen Maeve completed the connection with the police and the interviews with reporters.
She came to Bruce and wanted to take him away.
"Bruce, hold me tight," she said with a smile.
……
Jingle Bell--
The sound of wind chimes rang out and the door of the remote little bar was opened.
In walked the Homelander, dressed in steel blue combat uniforms and draped in the American flag.
"Are you here again?"
Martha was still wiping glasses at the bar.
When the Chinese people looked at this picture, they felt a sense of peace in their hearts.
"Yes, yes, I am here again!"
This time, the attitude of our countrymen when they arrived was completely different from the first time.
Martha still prefers his rebellious look.
Homelander sat down at the bar: "Give me a drink, the same one you made last time."
"There will be a charge this time," said Martha.
"No problem!" The Chinese man assured immediately, "I can afford any amount!"
Martha glanced at Homelander, who immediately gave her a flattering smile, looking a little silly.
"never mind."
Martha suddenly shook her head. "You don't need to spend money when you come to my place in the future. Just talk to me."
"Of course it's no problem!"
Homelander chuckled and waited for Martha to make him a drink.
The wine was ready, and it still had the same sweet aroma as before. The motherland drank it all in one gulp, and the familiar feeling of drunkenness came over him again.
"what--"
The motherland sighed with enjoyment.
"You seem to be in a good mood today?" Martha asked. "You look very relaxed."
The current state of the motherland is like returning home.
"It's not that great actually. I have my own worries too."
The Homelander looked up, "It's just that when we're here, we can relax a little."
"Then you can tell me about it," Martha said. "Whatever is bothering you, I'm willing to listen."
“It’s actually about work.”
Homelander didn't feel anything unnatural and immediately started chatting with Martha.
The feeling Martha gave him was something he had never felt before.
Able to understand all your thoughts and never blame or deny them.
She can even give him insightful advice when he is confused.
"I actually have some doubts now. Madeline doesn't love me."
Homelander played with his empty wine glass, his eyes empty, talking to himself, "She may just treat me as a useful tool, or even in her heart, she thinks I'm a monster..."
"How can you be a monster?"
Martha propped her hands on the bar, then ran her other hand across the corner of her mouth to the right.
"People like me are monsters."
"No, no, no! Don't say that!" Homelander immediately retorted, "You are very beautiful, really, I feel very happy when I see you!"
"I can't bear the word beautiful anymore," Martha said with a smile. "I'm old."
"It's better to be old..." the motherland murmured.
"what?"
"Oh, nothing!" Homelander quickly changed the subject, "Anyway, I'm increasingly feeling that something is wrong with Madeline.
"She doesn't even care about me as much as... you."
"Maybe you misunderstood?"
Martha thought about it and said, "Maybe Madeline just loves you but can't express it to you?"
Hearing this, Homelander shook his head: "How is it possible? I can hear her heartbeat. Every time she sees me, the frequency of her heartbeat has nothing to do with love, it's more like fear.
"Maybe I really am a monster like they think!"
"You're not a monster."
Suddenly, Martha's voice became unusually firm.
Homelander looked up and saw that Martha was also looking at him.
Her eyes were warm and loving, reminding the Chinese of the mother he had never met.
My countryman is an orphan and has never seen his parents.
But in his imagination, if he had a mother, it would be like Martha.
"mom……"
He had barely uttered one syllable when he realized his own indiscretion.
Homelander quickly lowered his head and pretended that nothing had happened.
Martha did not expose it either. At this time, she gave her countryman a suggestion.
"If you really care about this, go try her!"
"Ok?"
Homelander looked up and waited for Martha's next words.
"Madeline should have something important too, right?"
Martha smiled and said, “Then take it away and let Madeline make the choice. If she doesn’t choose you, it means she really doesn’t love you and has been using you before.
"If then—"
Martha suddenly clenched her fists in front of her fellow countrymen.
"Just use the Fist of Justice on her!"
