Chapter 117 If I hit you, I’ll hit you
"I was looking forward to some fresh blood in the seven-member group, but I didn't expect it to be a little too fresh."
Queen Maeve walked inside Water Company with Bruce.
Her smile is so friendly that people can't help but feel a little fond of her.
This is the strength of the veteran Vought Superhero.
She took Bruce to an observation room and introduced:
"Look at this. We have two World View 4 satellites in orbit around the Earth, which can basically read the license plate number of the fleeing vehicle from an altitude of more than 600 kilometers."
Bruce looked at the screen curiously, the whole city was in full view.
If you zoom out, you'll find that the entire country is within its range of observation.
Katoom kept flying beside Bruce, but no one could notice him.
"Can monitor a city, but turn a blind eye to the atrocities of a locomotive."
Bruce told Katum, "It's a bit suffocating to think that I'm being monitored by a company like this all the time."
Throughout his words, he revealed his opposition to surveillance.
"You think people shouldn't be spied on?" asked the owl.
"of course!"
Bruce said, "Everyone has the right to protect their privacy. Vought's all-round surveillance is tantamount to a crime."
"But Batman did it too."
Katum suddenly said, "You in the future also monitored the entire Gotham."
"You are sick, how can it be the same?"
Bruce cursed and then moved on from the topic.
He noticed that the owl looked a little strange now.
"Katum," Bruce said, "Why do I feel like you're expecting something to happen?"
"Well..." Katum dragged out his words, "It's nothing. I just want to see if there will be any stories between Queen Maeve and you next."
"You're expecting the wrong thing." Bruce said confidently, "Nothing will happen."
As he was speaking, Queen Maeve called him.
"What's wrong?" She said with a smile, "I see you seem to be in a daze."
"Nothing." Bruce quickly explained, "I just can't believe it. I feel like I'm in a dream."
He said with a moved face: "I used to stand in front of the mirror and pretend that I was standing in the position I am in now. I never thought that one day it would really become a reality!"
Seeing Bruce's innocent expression, Queen Maeve's smile suddenly froze.
She quickly concealed her strangeness, remained silent, and said with a smile: "Everyone is like this. When I first came here, I couldn't help but slap myself twice."
Bruce laughed a few times as well.
Then he said, "By the way, Queen Maeve..."
"Just call me Maeve."
"Sister Maeve," Bruce said, "When can I start fighting crime?"
"That's still early."
Maeve smiled and shook her head. "You are still young, so I don't think you will be assigned any dangerous missions right now. Your most important task right now is to interact more with your fans."
In other words, be a mascot.
Bruce suddenly couldn't accept it: "But those criminals..."
"Don't worry about that." Maeve said, "We have our motherland! You should know how powerful the motherland is."
She smiled and said, "I imagine that little boys your age must have a poster of the Motherland in their bedrooms, right?"
Maeve just wanted to make a joke, but she didn't expect Bruce to deny it without hesitation.
"no!"
Bruce's expression was coy but firm, "In fact, the poster I put up in my bedroom is yours."
Maeve was stunned for a moment.
"I posted it in the most conspicuous place so I can see it when I wake up every morning."
Bruce clenched his fists, wanting to show that what he said was true, "Queen Maeve, I have always been your fan."
At this moment, Maeve suddenly didn't know what to say.
She looked at Bruce's innocent face and suddenly her throat felt dry.
Maeve couldn't help swallowing.
"Bruce."
"Ok?"
"stay away from me."
She suddenly said this.
Bruce seemed a little uneasy, thinking he had done something wrong.
"none of your business."
Maeve quickly explained, "You looked a little too delicious, and you were too close to me..."
She stopped talking.
There was a hint of struggle on Maeve's face at this moment, as if she wanted to tell Bruce the truth.
The world is not as beautiful as this child imagines.
But in the end, she did not directly reveal the true face of Water Company, but instead used a euphemism.
"Bruce," she said, "I remember that you had over ten million votes in this election, right?"
"Right." Bruce nodded.
"That means you now have more than 10 million fans."
Queen Maeve said, "This is your strength. No matter what happens to you in the company in the future, you must remember that you have more than 10 million fans behind you."
"Sister Maeve, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Bruce said, "You might as well put it bluntly."
"I've been frank enough."
Queen Maeve shook her head. "In short, you just need to remember that right now, Homelander is the only person in the entire company who is more popular than you. The only person you can't mess with is him."
That was all she had to say, and she was not willing to say any more.
"Okay, I'll stop here today. I have other things to do. I look forward to our missions together in the future."
After saying that, Queen Maeve left in a hurry.
Looking at the posture, it seems as if Bruce is some kind of monster.
When Maeve walked away, only Bruce and Katum were left there.
"It seems that not everyone in the Seven has no bottom line." Bruce suddenly said.
Katum also sighed.
Owl took off the camera hanging on his chest: "I thought I could capture something incredible."
"It doesn't matter. You can still take pictures if you want. Go take something different."
Bruce took out his phone from his pocket. "I remember that Shen Hai brought Xing Guang into the command hall just now, right?"
At this time, in the command hall.
Xingguang was completely stiff, at a loss as to what to do.
Her worldview collapsed at this moment.
Starlight had just finished her speech about joining the Seven, and her heart was filled with hope for the future.
Shenhai took her to visit the command hall of Water Company. They had a great conversation and everything seemed so beautiful.
Until Shenhai took off his pants in front of her.
"Don't think too much about it. It's just about how badly you want to join the Super Seven."
Shen Hai walked closer step by step, looking very confident.
"Didn't you just say you're my fan? Now we can get closer, okay?"
"What did you say?"
Starlight's eyes flashed white light, and electric energy was about to be emitted.
"Ohhhh, don't get excited!"
Deep Sea said with a grin, "I know you are very strong and have powerful superpowers, and I don't want to fight you, but the problem is-"
His expression suddenly turned serious.
"I'm the second in command of the Seven, you know? I can easily decide whether you stay or go."
The restless energy of the starlight suddenly stagnated.
"It seems you understand."
Shenhai sat on the round table in the command hall and opened his legs to face the starlight.
“You know, we are a team now and we need to help each other.
"You are just a little girl, you should know better and not be so rude."
Xingguang closed her eyes tightly, endless humiliation and anger churning in her heart.
At this moment, she really wanted to launch an electromagnetic pulse to burn the deep sea through.
"Okay, come here."
Shenhai became even more aggressive and said, "Behave yourself. Isn't it your dream to join the Seven since you were a child? Think about those kids who adore you!"
Xingguang's breathing became heavier and heavier, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, stained with the color of her eyeshadow, forming two black tear marks.
"Come here, don't challenge my patience!"
The Deep gave an ultimatum.
On one side is the dream, on the other side is dignity. Starlight was faced with such a choice as soon as it became a group of seven.
Which one should be sacrificed?
The deep sea is fearless and has completely controlled the starlight.
He even thrust his hips forward to show off his power.
Just when he thought he was going to enjoy Starlight's service, suddenly -
The door to the command hall opened.
Bruce Wayne, the guy who joined the Seven at the same time as Starlight, swaggered into the command hall holding a mobile phone.
He was still saying, "Family, we are now in the legendary command hall. Let me show you the details inside!"
After that, he scanned the interior of the hall with the camera.
Everything that should be photographed and what shouldn’t be photographed was captured.
At this moment, Shen Hai's brain suddenly became congested and his ears began to buzz.
"What are you doing!"
He roared, "Are you live streaming?!!"
"what!"
At this moment, Bruce showed an expression as if he had just woken up from a dream, as if he just saw everything now.
"Mr. Deep Sea!"
He looked more anxious than the deep sea. "Why aren't you wearing pants? It's over, it's all in the picture now!"
"Are you live streaming?" Shenhai kept asking this question, "Are you live streaming?"
"Live broadcast? No."
Bruce said innocently, "I'm just shooting a video to record my wonderful life and will post it online for my fans to see."
Hearing this, Shen Hai breathed a sigh of relief.
He stretched out his hand and said to Bruce, "That's good. Give me the phone."
"Uh...Mr. Deep Sea, am I disturbing you and Starlight?"
Bruce said this, but there was no sign of him handing over his phone.
"No no no!"
At this moment, Starlight seemed to have seen a savior and quickly hid behind Bruce.
She was actually a little taller than Bruce was now, so she could only try to curl up her body as much as possible.
"Bruce, save me!" she said in a crying voice.
"Give me the phone!"
Shenhai didn't even have time to put on his pants before he hurried to Bruce.
"Mr. Deep Sea, I might have to say sorry."
Bruce changed his confused look and put his phone behind his back.
"I can't give you this video."
"You bastard, do you want to die?"
Shen Hai cursed, "I only need one word to make both of you get out of here. If you are afraid, just hand over your phone!"
Bruce's face suddenly sank.
"Mr. Shenhai, I remember that in the popularity vote of the seven-member group, you only got over a million votes, barely reaching seven figures, right?"
"So what?" Shen Hai still maintained his ferocious look.
"Nothing, I just hope you can be more polite when you speak to me."
Bruce said coldly, "I hope you can calculate carefully, how many fans do you have and how many fans do I have?"
Snapped--
Suddenly, a slap hit Shenhai's face.
Shen Hai was completely confused.
"You hit me?" he asked in disbelief.
"If I hit you, I'll hit you."
Bruce said indifferently, "Do we have to pick a day?"
