“So, that means…”
Serena paused slightly, seemingly deliberately mimicking Karl's manner to play with the other party's emotions.
When she saw General Ross leaning forward subconsciously, his face showing a tangled expression of wanting to urge her but not daring to, a satisfied arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Only then did she continue:
“If General Ross can obtain the information on these vampire sect strongholds in advance, and then send troops to conduct a comprehensive cleanup,
not only can he successfully reverse the current defeat, but he can even become a national hero who saves the people…”
Serena didn't continue.
But General Ross on the other side already understood.
His aging but still robust body trembled slightly with excitement.
The opportunity to turn the tables had actually arrived!
And it was the kind that could win big with one move.
If Karl were present, he would probably kneel on one knee and say: If you don't abandon me, I, Ross, am willing to become your adopted son?
This time, General Ross would never miss it.
“Then Boss… ah no, what does Mr. Karl need me to do?”
General Ross was not a newbie in the workplace, so he naturally understood the simple principle that “there is no free lunch”.
And mutual assistance between allies is actually based on the mutual exchange of benefits.
“Two requests!”
Serena slowly raised two jade-like, smooth fingers, and said in an uncompromising tone:
“First, all the property and territory of the vampire sects that are wiped out will belong to the [Wizard Council], and humans must not invade them for any reason!”
“Second, the [White House] must sign a new [Pact of Non-Aggression] with the [Wizard Council].
From now on, the human side must not plunder or suppress the [Wizard Council] and any of its properties and spheres of influence for any reason or excuse…”
“In exchange, the [Wizard Council] will exterminate those vampire teams and individuals within its area who do not abide by the rules and actively create large-scale massacres or conflicts!!”
A simple translation would be:
First, use your troops to eliminate our common enemy, the benefits belong to me, and the reputation belongs to you!
Second, the [Wizard Council] must coexist peacefully with humans from now on!
“No problem, I will ask the [White House] for instructions.”
General Ross agreed without thinking.
Although no matter how he looked at it, the other party was using his troops to "take revenge" and "eliminate dissidents".
But did he have a choice now?
He simply had no choice!
If he did everything, then he could at least keep his current position and get a good reputation as a "national hero".
But if he refused, then in addition to being kicked out of the center of power in disgrace, he would probably also bear many unwarranted charges such as "failure to rescue", thus taking the blame for the higher-ups!
Therefore, General Ross knew better than anyone how to choose now.
And from the moment he agreed, it meant that he was officially deeply tied to the [Hyperspace Group], this train that was running (rising) at high speed.
And this was exactly what General Ross had been dreaming of.
Because through this incident, he suddenly realized that it was good to have a big tree to lean on!
Soon.
The two conditions proposed by Serena were all approved by the [White House] and the [Department of Defense].
The new [Pact of Non-Aggression] was also drafted by the [White House] and sent to General Ross's combat command post via fax machine, and the latter was fully authorized to sign it with Serena.
The whole process took no more than 1 hour.
This may be the fastest time in the history of the [United States] since its establishment, from drafting resolutions to signing to execution.
Because it had to be fast!
In a few hours, it would be dark again.
If they fought the vampires again at that time, the difficulty factor would increase by more than three times.
What's more, this scale was more than ten times larger than the "Seven Cities Crisis".
Even President Ellis couldn't bear this responsibility.
At this juncture, nothing more could go wrong!
“It's these places.”
After completing the [Pact of Non-Aggression], Serena marked the locations of the vampire cult strongholds belonging to Sharus on the map one by one.
She was not worried that the [American] high-level officials would go back on their word and kill the donkey after grinding the mill.
Because what Sharus could do, she, who has now become the new "Vampire Queen," can also do.
And she would do it more bloody and cruel than the former!
For Serena, any guy who dares to disrupt her Boss's plan only has one way to die.
“Thank you for Mr. Karl's help, I will always remember today's kindness…”
Before leaving, General Ross did not forget to express his "loyalty" appropriately.
Having been immersed in the workplace for many years, he knew that people who "act like a whore and want a monument" would mostly not end well.
Since he was determined to be deeply bound to Karl, then face was no longer important.
What's more, he only needed to act like a grandson in front of Karl alone.
Usually, he was still that battle-hardened, mighty and domineering Army Three-Star General, Thaddeus Ross!!
“Leader… no, we should call you Queen now.”
On the way back, a female vampire guard sitting in the co-pilot seat said with a smile: "You look a little different today than usual."
“Is… is that so?”
Serena's cheeks flushed red, and she looked out the window with some guilt, "Where is it different?"
“Well, it's a little hard to describe.”
The female vampire guard thought seriously, and then said: "The most direct thing should be the change in temperament… You don't look like the [Moon Goddess] today, but like a real queen!"
Serena didn't speak, but she couldn't help but recall the madness and sweetness in the bathroom last night.
Compared to yesterday, there was obviously a hint of maturity and charm between her eyebrows.
This also allowed the [Moon Goddess], who has always been known for her cold beauty, to successfully advance to a real "Vampire Queen"!
However.
When Serena recalled the second half, her brows could not help but wrinkle slightly.
At the same time, a hint of confusion appeared in her ice-blue eyes.
Because when Karl carried her back to the bedroom and the storm rose again, she could not clearly remember the process and the picture at that time.
This part of the memory seemed to become very blurred, and she could only feel bursts of extreme pleasure.
Could it be that she was stunned… cough cough cough, Serena, what are you thinking in your head!
…………
……
[Vought International].
66th floor.
“Yes, that's it!!”
Looking at the [Vought International]'s stock price on the big screen, which had finally successfully stopped falling and rebounded slightly all the way, Homelander was extremely excited.
He clenched his fists and showed off to the little assistant standing beside him with a serious face:
“See, I guessed long ago that the stock price would rise… and this is just the beginning.”
“As long as I continue to focus on these supernatural events next, I believe that it won't be long before I can surpass the achievements created by Stan when he was in office.”
“At that time, [Vought International] will usher in a new chapter in my hands… remember this last sentence for me, and write it in my speech when I am interviewed in a few days!”
“Okay.” Ashley Barrett wrote furiously while flattering with a smile:
“Sir, your number of fans has increased by more than two million so far, and it is still increasing continuously.”
“The people have praised your heroic performance in solving the 'Seven Cities Crisis'… on the contrary, the [Avengers] and [.] have been scolded on the hot search.”
The latest novels are available at !
“Many people even suggest that the [Seven] be incorporated into the [Department of Defense]'s defense system to replace the increasingly unreliable [Avengers]!”
“Serves them right.” Homelander felt so proud and comfortable in his heart.
The depression of being deliberately suppressed by [.] over the years was finally released successfully on this day.
“Oh, yes, there is another good news.”
Ashley Barrett said excitedly: “In order to do a good job in post-disaster reconstruction as soon as possible, boost morale, and help the affected urban areas restore production and life…
Currently, the [City Halls] of the six affected cities other than [Binghamton] have officially issued invitations to you,
hoping that you will serve as the image ambassador of the corresponding cities, and six mayors will personally issue you honorary certificates at that time!!”
“Promise them.”
Homelander said impatiently.
But then, as if he thought of something, his face suddenly turned cold, “What's going on with [Binghamton]? Have they forgotten so quickly who saved them?”
“Uh…” Ashley Barrett replied timidly:
“Because [Starlight] sucked up most of the city's electricity in the battle with the vampires in [Binghamton], not only did she fail to defeat the enemy, but also caused a large number of people to die accidentally due to darkness…”
“So the [City Hall] of [Binghamton] is drafting matters related to claiming huge compensation from [Vought International].”
“This good-for-nothing bitch.”
Homelander was so angry in his heart.
Why are there always such stumbling blocks on his road to success?
Immediately, murderous intentions arose.
He asked seemingly casually: “How is [Starlight]'s situation?”
“She is still in a coma… the doctor said that if there is still no sign of waking up tonight, there may be no chance to regain consciousness in the future.”
Ashley Barrett did not feel sad for [Starlight]'s encounter, but said with an indignant face:
“Her ending is completely self-inflicted… if it weren't for her and [Queen Maeve]'s unauthorized actions and being defeated by those vampires, I'm afraid the group's stock price would have increased much more than it is now.”
“Sir, do you want to take the opportunity to kick those two annoying bitches out of the [Seven]?”
……
Evening.
[Queen Maeve], who learned that she had been removed from the [Seven], came to Homelander's 66th floor in anger, regardless of her unhealed injuries, and immediately questioned:
“What do you mean, why are you firing me and [Starlight]?”
As a veteran of the [Seven].
[Queen Maeve], like Homelander, had long been accustomed to focusing on the cameras of major news media all day long.
Enjoying the wonderful feeling of being admired and worshiped by fans.
Moreover, because she spends money lavishly on weekdays, her expenses are very large. Once she loses her identity as a member of the [Seven], her commercial income will inevitably decrease sharply.
Presumably, it won't be long before she falls into a serious financial crisis.
So today, no matter what, [Queen Maeve] must protect her position.
“Does this need to be asked?”
Homelander blew on the freshly heated milk and said with a comfortable face:
“Of course it's because you two damn bitches brought extremely bad negative effects to my originally perfect action this time!”
“I'm already very kind not to kill you two… so, disappear from my sight immediately, or you know the consequences.”
Speaking the harshest words in the gentlest tone.
It has to be said that Homelander has grown a lot recently.
However, he, who has an unusually strong desire for control, usually cannot tolerate people around him not following his orders.
Obviously, the unauthorized actions of [Queen Maeve] and [Starlight] this time have touched this bottom line.
If it weren't for the consideration that "fratricide" might arouse fans' disgust and cause [Vought International]'s just-recovering stock price to fall again.
A-Train's punishment for them two would definitely not be as light as it is now!
However.
As Homelander's former lover and the heroine of the screen CP for a long time, [Queen Maeve], who is the second strongest in the [Seven], will obviously not be easily scared off by such threats.
She pursed her lips and threatened with a sneer: "Hmph, haven't you thought about what the consequences of doing this will be?"
“What if I tell the media all the things you've done in private over the years?”
“You can try it.”
Homelander stared at [Queen Maeve], the expression on his face gradually became icy cold, and his tone was extremely tough:
“At that time, I will kill everyone you care about first, especially your lesbian girlfriend… and then it will be your turn!”
Seeing that the other party was targeting his girlfriend, [Queen Maeve] panicked.
Because if there is anyone she cares about the most, then it must be her girlfriend.
And based on [Queen Maeve]'s understanding of Homelander, the other party can definitely do such a thing.
If you want to compare who has more despicable methods and no bottom line, then she is definitely not Homelander's opponent.
Therefore, after discovering that threats wouldn't work, Queen Maeve immediately changed her strategy, shifting her tone and asking, "I want to know, how exactly did you defeat those seven vampires that day... ah, no, those demons?"
