Chapter 127: The poor people of our country are being played around by others
Madeline has something important?
some.
Homelander figured out the answer in almost a millionth of a second: Madeline's biological child.
A test tube baby.
But after thinking about this, Homelander hesitated.
He seemed to have seen how Madeline would answer when faced with a choice.
"You hesitated."
Martha immediately noticed something was wrong with Homelander. She asked, "You seem to have known the answer in advance?"
"I……"
The motherland thought about it, "How can a mother not love her own child?"
"That's true, but you are a little too pitiful."
Martha looked into Homelander's eyes and whispered, "You gave her your whole heart, but she only gave you a little bit of love?
"Do you think this is enough?
"Or do you think you only deserve this level of love?"
Of course not enough!
Martha's few words helped the people of our country to see the light and gain enlightenment.
He finally understood how humble he was before.
This shouldn't be the case.
He is Homelander, the most powerful superhero in the world, the man of destiny who was born to take shape.
Why should a person who is born great be humble in love!
What the hell is Madeline!
"I see!"
Homelander stood up suddenly, his eyes determined and gloomy.
"I have been wrong all along. The choice has never been in Madeline's hands, but in my hands!"
"Go and do what you want, child!" Martha whispered.
Homelander turned and left, he had made up his mind.
This time, Madeline had only one choice.
If you choose the wrong one, you die!
……
A black car stopped in front of a mansion and Madeline got out.
"Good night, Miss Stillwell."
"Goodbye, Bauer!"
Madeline said goodbye to the driver and went into the house.
"Maria." She called the nanny's name, "Maria, I'm home."
The room was dark and no one responded.
Such silence suddenly made Madeline feel a little uneasy.
But before he could react, a voice was heard in the darkness.
"Your child is sleeping soundly."
Madeline immediately recognized the owner of the voice, but instead of relaxing, she became even more frightened.
"A native of the motherland?"
She forced a smile and said, "Why did you come to my house without telling me?"
Homelander stepped out of the shadows, holding a sleeping baby in his arms.
Madeline's smile froze.
"You see, he was sleeping soundly, and I didn't hurt him."
Homelander asked, "Why is your heart beating so fast? Does seeing me make you feel scared?"
Madeline was still trying to remain calm.
"Because I thought a criminal had broken in, my heart beat faster and I haven't recovered yet."
Madeline stretched out her hands and said tentatively, "Come, give me the child!"
When Homelander saw Madeleine's appearance, he suddenly felt disgusted for no reason.
Is this the woman I was obsessed with before?
Not even as good as Martha.
Martha had never lost her composure like this in front of him!
"You are holding out your hands, are you going to hug me?"
The motherland smiled and did not hand the child over, "Today, there is only one person you can hug!"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
There was a hint of flattery in Madeline's words, "Please, my countryman, give me the child!"
"No, no, no, you obviously already know what I mean."
Homelander now stood before Madeline, having an experience he had never had before.
In the past, he always tried to please Madeline, show his worth, and do all kinds of things for her.
But Madeleine loved him no more for it.
Now, Homelander has figured it out and is no longer obsessed with trying to please Madeleine.
He suddenly discovered that
Madeline, that's all!
"Today, you must make a choice."
The Homelander said softly, "Who is more important to you, this child or me?"
"My countrymen..."
Madeline's voice began to tremble. "I don't know if anything has happened to you, but give me the child now, and I will accompany you to do what you want to do!"
This answer is not what the Chinese people want to hear.
If Madeline firmly chooses herself at this time, there is still room for redemption.
But now, it's over.
"It seems you have made your choice."
Homelander came to Madeline holding the child.
He stared into Madeleine's eyes and saw a hint of pleading in them.
"I beg you……"
As soon as she opened her mouth, two red laser lights suddenly burst out of Homelander's eyes.
Madeline didn't even have the chance to scream before she turned into a pile of smoking charcoal.
Looking at the body of the person he once loved, Homelander suddenly felt relieved.
“In fact, I already knew the answer.”
He laughed at himself, "I just don't want to lie to myself anymore."
At this moment, he felt like he was reborn.
The motherland took a look at the baby in her arms and thought, this burden should be thrown into an orphanage.
Now, he was going to see Martha.
……
The next day, when Bruce entered the Water Building, he heard a bombshell.
Vought vice president, Madeline Stillwell, has died.
Then what was even more important was the meeting of the seven-member group that day.
"I killed Madeleine."
Homelander said calmly, "From today on, Ashley will take over Madeline's job. Do you understand?"
The other heroes at the round table suddenly fell silent.
It was hard for them to imagine that Homelander could kill the group's vice president without any consequences.
Has Vought Corporation completely succumbed to the motherland?
Hearing the anxious heartbeats of the people around him, Homelander smiled with satisfaction.
Yeah, he could do whatever he wanted.
This world is just your plaything!
But at this moment——
"I have a question."
When everyone lowered their heads, Bruce suddenly spoke.
"Why did you kill Lady Madeline? There must be a reason, right?"
reason?
Homelander's face instantly darkened. Does he need a reason to kill someone?
Bruce's remarks were a complete provocation to himself!
He showed a bad look, as if he was going to shoot Bruce to death with his heat vision in the next second. But Bruce seemed to feel nothing at all.
He turned his head and looked at his countryman, not backing down.
"Mr. Homelander, I know you wanted to kill me for just a moment, but it's up to you, and I have something to say now."
Bruce said, "May I ask why you wanted to kill Ms. Madeline?"
Homelander heard Bruce's heartbeat, which was unusually calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
Without any fear.
The Homelander had only experienced this kind of situation with Martha.
Is he just a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, or does he really have some backup plan and confidence?
Homelander thought about the scene when he went to see Martha last night after killing Madeleine.
……
Jingle Bell--
The wind chimes in the bar rang, and the countrymen walked in with high spirits.
"I did it!"
As soon as Homelander walked in, he shouted to Martha.
"I discovered the true face of that woman and helped her get rid of it."
He wanted to use these words to show that he had fulfilled Martha's instructions.
The Homelander wanted to prove that he was no longer troubled by a little charity of love, and that he was truly free at this moment!
Poor guy, he didn't realize that his so-called freedom was just jumping from one deep pit to another.
The object of his emotional attachment simply shifted from Madeline to Martha.
Martha stood behind the bar, gently wiping the glasses.
Every time people from my country come, they see her in this pose.
It seems like the cup will never be wiped clean.
"Why are you so happy?"
Martha suddenly sighed, "I feel sad for you, because I sincerely hope that you can be the chosen one."
"It's ok!"
Homelander said, "I don't care about Madeline anymore!"
"really?"
Martha glanced at Homelander and said, "Then I'll take this as your sincere words."
"Of course it's the truth!"
"Then I want to congratulate you on coming out."
Martha mixed another glass of wine for Homelander and pushed it in front of him. Homelander drank it without hesitation.
Three feelings of drunkenness suddenly surged into my heart.
"Martha, I really appreciate you!"
The Homelander said with a bit of a lisp, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to see my true heart.
"I have to repay you, let me do a little favor for you!"
Hearing this, Martha shook her head: "I'm not helping you for anything in return. Let's not talk about this."
"A little thing! A little thing!"
The Homelander insisted, "I can do anything, you don't have to bother me!"
"Is that right?"
Martha stopped everything she was doing and thought about something.
Homelander remained silent, waiting for Martha's answer.
"Then just be yourself!"
Martha suddenly smiled and said, "Don't care about other people's opinions anymore, be your true self and do whatever you want.
"There will definitely be some people who don't understand this, but I promise you that those who love you will always love you."
It is simply nonsense to say that people who love you will love you.
But to our countrymen, it has a completely different meaning.
He seemed to have gotten the answer he had been dreaming of from Martha. The person who loved him was automatically imagined to be Martha.
"you're right!"
Homelander nodded and said, "I've long been tired of my current life. What I need is someone who truly loves me!"
He thought of his fans.
Although those people now say that they love me, once they know my true face, how many of them will still stand by me?
can not be like this.
The Chinese people thought that they should conduct a screening for their fans.
Only those who love you from the bottom of their hearts and support you unconditionally can be considered true fans.
The rest are all fake fans!
From this moment on, people all over the world were divided into two parts by the people of their motherland.
Those who love him, and those who don't.
"Oh, I have one more thing to do." Martha started to speak, but then she immediately denied herself, "No, I've already asked you to do one thing, I can't bother you again."
"Say it!"
The native suddenly became full of pride, "Don't even mention one thing, even if it's a hundred things, I can do it easily!"
He will definitely do his best to fulfill Martha's request!
"Look, among your group of seven, there's one named Bruce Wayne, right?" Martha asked.
At this moment, the motherland suddenly became suspicious.
Martha asked Bruce what?
An uncontrollable thought was growing in his mind.
Could it be that Martha loves Bruce Wayne instead of herself?
is it possible?
"Don't think too much about it." Martha smiled and said, "I have a friend who is a fan of Bruce. She cares about this boy very much."
"Really?" asked the Homelander.
"Are you suspecting that I'm lying to you?"
The smile on Martha's face suddenly disappeared, and she sighed, "If that's the case, then you can just turn around and leave, or kill me before leaving, and I will never blame you!"
"No no no!"
Homelander panicked. He quickly assured Martha, "I absolutely did not doubt you. I swear, absolutely not!"
"Swearing is not enough."
Martha's expression softened a little, but she obviously still hadn't forgiven Homelander for his attitude just now.
She pulled out a bag of snacks from under the bar and opened it to reveal marshmallows.
"How about this, I'll throw a piece of marshmallow into the sky, and if you can catch it with your mouth, I'll forgive you."
"no problem!"
The people of our motherland patted their chests and laughed in their hearts.
Martha still doesn't know her own strength.
He is a fellow countryman. Not to mention one piece of marshmallow, even if there are a hundred pieces, he can catch them all in one second.
"Are you ready?"
Martha threw a marshmallow high into the air.
Homelander's figure flashed, and then the marshmallow was in his mouth.
"How's it going!" he said to Martha as if offering a treasure, "I caught it!"
Martha's face immediately lit up with joy.
"So good, so good!"

"The finance is like this. Lex Luthor only needs to deal with Superman, but as Lex's finance manager, I have a lot of things to consider.
For example, how much does it cost to develop Luther's armor?
The funds spent on training Superboy;
Daily losses and expenses of the Legion of Destruction;
Rumors spread about Stark Industries' stock market;
And how to kill the Wayne Group's fortune tree with boiling water. "
"Uncle Liev, I didn't expect you to be so kind to me." Connor hugged Yoris Liev, "Milk powder, clothes, daily necessities... You actually prepared so many things for me, and I obviously don't need them."
It doesn't matter if you don't need it, I just need it. Yoris closed his eyes, hoping that Superboy would never know how he took kickbacks.
Maybe I don’t understand superheroes, but no one understands business warfare better than me.
High-end business wars often only require the simplest form of revenge.
