Chapter 128 Black Robe Patrol
Seeing Martha smile, Homelander finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He just showed off his super speed a little bit, and that made Martha so happy.
Her smile comes from the heart.
Unlike Madeline, I was completely open with her, but in return I received fear and terror.
Sure enough, someone who truly loves you will not be afraid of him because he is powerful!
The motherland was still feeling secretly proud, but suddenly he heard Martha ask a question.
"Who are you thinking about?"
In an instant, it was like a basin of cold water was poured over the heads of the people of the motherland.
He felt guilty and said quickly, "I didn't think of anything!"
"Really?" Martha smiled.
At this moment, the people of my country wanted to slap themselves.
Madeline is already dead, why do you still miss her!
Now he should look forward!
Homelander looked at Martha anxiously, he knew that this woman had the power to see through his heart easily.
Fortunately, Martha didn't worry too much about this.
This made the Chinese people secretly feel happy, but also a little disappointed.
Why didn't Martha get upset? Didn't she care about herself that much?
"Let's talk about my friend."
Martha said, "She was a poor woman. Her child was shot in front of her, but she could do nothing. She could only hold the child's gradually cooling body and cry helplessly."
There was great sadness in Martha's eyes when she spoke of her friend.
Homelander sat quietly at the bar, listening carefully to Martha's story and occasionally sighing in cooperation.
“Really?”, “How could this happen?”, “Alas!”
Martha continued her story: "She once went crazy and kidnapped many children, and then forced their parents to choose whether to let their children live or herself live."
Homelander nodded, just as he had to Madeline.
He suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for Martha's friend.
"No matter what choice the parents make, they will be the ones who die in the end!"
The people of the motherland said, "If they choose their children to live, the parents will naturally die. If they choose to live themselves, then they are not worthy of being parents. Damn it!"
"You are very smart."
Martha praised Homelander, which made him excited.
"But recently, the emergence of Bruce Wayne has caused her to change a little bit."
Martha said, "She saw the shadow of her dead child in Bruce."
After that, she sighed: "If that child hadn't died, he would be as old as Bruce now."
Hearing this, the Chinese people immediately understood.
I see. Martha asked me to take care of Bruce for that friend, right?
no problem!
His countrymen are role models for the world, so it is only natural for them to take care of their younger generations.
He immediately patted his chest and assured Martha: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Bruce!"
"Take care? There's no need for that."
Martha shook her head and said, "Just promise not to hurt him. Just pretend he doesn't exist and do your own thing."
That would be too simple.
Homelander immediately promised not to harm Bruce.
"That's enough, that's enough!"
Martha looked at Homelander with a smile, full of confidence in the strongest hero.
At this time, the motherland suddenly thought of something.
"how about you?"
He said, "Do you have kids? I see you're always alone in the bar and you never seem to leave."
"me?"
Martha thought about it, shook her head and said, “God has not blessed me, and I am not blessed to have a child by my side.
“Come to think of it, when Bruce first became famous, I also thought of treating him as my son.
“But to be honest, it’s a little different.
"Bruce can't be my son right now."
Hearing this, the people of our country immediately became excited.
He really wanted to remind Martha that Bruce was not the only one who could be a son among the seven.
But when the words came to his lips, he stopped.
Don't be so presumptuous.
There is still a lot of time. As long as I work hard, Martha will definitely understand my feelings.
……
Time returns to the present.
In a meeting among the seven members.
Homelander looked at Bruce, who was not afraid of his eyes and responded sharply. Although he felt a little unhappy in his heart, he suppressed it.
He promised Martha not to hurt Bruce.
And, even without that promise, Bruce was enough to pique his interest.
Not afraid of myself at all, not even my heartbeat fluctuated?
interesting.
If Bruce is just strong on the outside but weak on the inside, Homelander wouldn't mind bullying him.
But now, you have saved your life!
Bruce is still questioning the reason for killing Madeline.
"Do I need to give you a reason?"
Homelander said coldly, "If you want to kill someone like Madeleine, just kill him. It's no big deal."
Under the table, Starlight gave Bruce a light kick.
Signaling him not to continue being so impulsive, if he angered his fellow countrymen, it would not end so well.
"It's not to give me a reason, but to give the people a reason."
Bruce said, "The situation now is different from the past. The cause of Madeleine's death cannot be hidden. No matter what you think, you must give the public an explanation!"
Can't hide?
Homelander was just about to say that Vought Company has done a lot of things like destroying corpses and covering up evidence, so there is no way they can't hide it.
But then, he saw Ashley behind him signaling him with her eyes a few times, as if she had something important to say.
Although Ashley took Madeline's place, she had no foundation and was completely dependent on the support of her countrymen.
In other words, she is a puppet.
Completely represents the will of the motherland.
Since Ashley has something to say to herself, it must be something very crucial.
Homelander paused for a moment and changed Bruce's subject.
"Water Company will naturally give an explanation for this matter later."
He thought he was just changing the subject, but he had no idea how much shock this had brought to others.
Under Bruce's questioning, Homelander changed the subject?
What’s the difference between that and bowing your head!
At this moment, the other seven members of the group began to feel confused?
Why did Bruce dare to go against Homelander like this and nothing happened to him?
He must have known long ago that nothing would happen to him.
Where does Bruce get his confidence from?
…After the meeting, Homelander left the command hall and Ashley immediately followed him.
"What did you want to tell me just now?"
Homelander said unkindly, "If it's not something important, I don't mind letting you experience the same death as Madeline!"
"I'm really sorry!"
Ashley bowed repeatedly, without any aura of a vice president.
She was originally a minor character who was forced into the role.
"But there is something really important that I must let you know!"
"Say!"
After hesitating for a second, Ashley said, "Mr. Homelander, what Bruce said just now is right. We really can't hide the cause of Madeline's death."
Homelander frowned: "What's going on?"
"because this!"
Ashley showed the tablet in her arms to Homelander, which showed several murders.
They are all incidents targeting superhumans.
"There have been several cases of superhuman deaths recently. They were all murdered, and the murderer is unknown."
Ashley said, “But what we know is that this person must hate Vought Company and is constantly investigating us.
"Now that Madeleine has been killed, it's impossible for him not to pay attention to such a big thing. If we investigate in depth, the truth will eventually be revealed!"
Listening to these words, the Chinese people felt as if they were listening to a science fiction movie.
"You mean, there's an ordinary person hunting parahumans right now, and you can't figure out his true identity?"
The Homelander said with a smile, "Come, take a look for yourself to see how many loopholes there are in this passage!"
Ashley didn't dare to speak, she knew it was hard to understand.
There were no other signs of super powers at the scene, so the murderer was most likely an ordinary person.
How can an ordinary person kill several superhumans?
How could it not be discovered by Water Company?
"Let the other seven members handle this matter. We must find out who it is!"
The motherland said coldly, "It's a small matter for him to kill people, but it's a big matter for him to provoke me. If I let him continue to kill people like this, will he kill me too?"
He is invincible, but he will also feel disgusted when facing a clown.
Homelander turned around and was about to leave, but Ashley suddenly talked about something else.
"Mr. Fatherland!"
She said, "You know, I now have the authority of a vice president and can see some of the company's hidden secrets."
"So what?" asked the Homelander.
"When I was looking up internal information today, I saw some very strange things."
Ashley said, "I thought you might be interested in this."
After that, she clicked on the tablet and called up three surveillance videos.
In the first paragraph, the Homelander hugged a woman and walked into the room together.
After seeing this video, Homelander's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes instantly turned red, as if they were burning.
"You're investigating me!"
He lowered his voice and threatened, "I am a native of my country. I can sleep with whoever I want. It's not your turn to care!"
"That was not what I meant!"
Ashley was about to cry. "My loyalty to you is known to all. Without you, how could I be where I am now? Read on and you'll understand what I mean!"
Homelander snorted coldly, retracted his eager gaze, and watched Ashley click on the second video.
It was still the same room, and three hours had passed since the previous video recording.
The woman who had just entered the room with her homelander came out panting, holding her high heels, leaning against the wall, looking dazed.
The Homelander smiled again.
"I'm pretty good, right?" he said. "Three hours, most men can't do that!"
Ashley was secretly complaining in her heart that Homelander was angry just now, but then he immediately started laughing again.
Can this face-changing be super fast?
She didn't dare to show any disrespect and could only nod in agreement, which made her fellow countrymen even more proud.
Fortunately Madeleine died.
Otherwise, once the fact that he only lasted three seconds was leaked, it would be an irreparable blow to his image.
Then, Ashley pulled up the third video.
After seeing that video, Homelander could no longer maintain that playful expression.
He saw the woman he had just slept with, with a big belly, being pushed into a secret delivery room.
The date of watching the video was exactly ten months after they had slept together.
etc--
The people of our country suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
"That woman is pregnant?"
He said in a daze, "Could it be... my child?"
Ashley nodded, which was exactly why he showed this to Homelander.
"Has the child been born?"
Homelander suddenly became extremely anxious. As a superhuman, it would be difficult for him to have children.
Now that he suddenly received such news, how could he not be excited!
But Ashley could only shake her head at this time: "I don't know. I can't find any information about the child."
"It's okay, I'll check it myself!"
The Homelander was more talkative than ever before at this time, and was eager to find out the truth immediately.
Is he happy to be a father?
"Now, there's just one problem!"
The Homelander thought for a moment and said, “Who is this woman?”
He had slept with so many women that it was impossible for him to remember every name.
……
An owl flew out of the building, bringing the news Bruce wanted.
Katum had just been eavesdropping beside Homelander without being discovered.
"Someone is hunting parahumans?"
Bruce stroked his chin and couldn't help but say, "So, this world has its own resistance force?"
If this is the case, then there is no need to rush yourself into taking action.
"Don't be happy too early."
Katum said, "If we let the resistance do it on their own, the results may not be so satisfactory!"
The so-called resistance force is probably the black robe patrol team.
They will fight hard for at least four seasons and achieve great results.
Among the seven, they can at least kill the Invisible Man.
Wait, the invisible man is dead?
That's fine.
