“Maeve, where did you get this thing from…”
Homelander asked, looking puzzled while trying to control Soldier Boy's hands.
“It was given to me by that green cuck's companion… They probably prepared it in advance, intending to use it to deal with Soldier Boy after teaming up to take you down, right?!”
Queen Maeve nodded towards Billy Butcher, “Hehe, I have to say, these guys are really insidious, wanting to screw over their teammates early on… But who would have thought that the green cuck accidentally killed two of his teammates just now, and then the remaining black guy seemed to have a falling out with him, and主动told me about this device and its function!!”
Homelander couldn't help but glance in Billy Butcher's direction, a smug grin appearing on his face.
But just as he was about to say something, he saw Soldier Boy's chest flashing with dazzling light again, and this time, perhaps due to extreme anger, the time Soldier Boy took to蓄能was greatly reduced compared to before.
“I… absolutely don't want to go back to that damn box, I want to kill you all!!”
“Fu*k?!?”
Homelander looked at Queen Maeve with a dumbfounded expression. Wait, didn't you just say this thing was specifically for dealing with him?
After all that… is that it?!
Damn it, all these猪队友, as expected, can't carry them!
Queen Maeve also looked dumbfounded: I don't know either, that black guy told me it was effective?
But… what to do now?
Running is definitely too late. With the power of Soldier Boy's 'chest cannon', the entire auditorium will probably be razed to the ground in an instant!
If they rashly escape, they might become 'moving targets'!
“Ah!!”
Homelander roared and directly activated his laser eyes, blasting Soldier Boy's head point-blank.
Come on, I might as well die together!
“Ahhh… go to hell!”
Soldier Boy also let out a desperate roar, his 'chest cannon' ready to fire, but at this critical moment, a slender figure leaped over, and then…
Puff puff puff—
Several Hell Spider Spears directly pierced Soldier Boy's chest, and the incandescent light shining on his chest gradually dimmed under the erosion of Khorne's power.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
Feeling the energy and vitality he had accumulated rapidly draining away, Soldier Boy's face suddenly showed a look of horror, and he exclaimed in a失声:
“How could this be? Impossible… damn little bugs, stay away from me… ahhh, don't suck my blood…”
But soon, his wailing stopped.
…
【Prestige +388, +188, +99…】
【Detected collectable souls, Warp souls +1, +1】
…
“Spider-Woman, are you okay?”
After confirming that Billy Butcher was completely dead, Lizard Peter couldn't wait to rush to the goddess's side, asking with a concerned face.
“Don't worry, I'm fine.”
Spider-Gwen contentedly retracted the Hell Spider Spears. After this battle, she felt that her power seemed to have subtly increased again.
And this is all a blessing from the great Blood God Khorne… Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne!!!
“Spider-Woman, you're very good.”
At this time, Homelander dropped Soldier Boy's shriveled corpse, dusted off his gloves, pointed to the spot where Gwen's Hell Spider Spears disappeared behind her, and said with an approving face:
“Is that your trump card? Very good… I knew I didn't misjudge you!”
Not many people can earn Homelander's sincere praise, but Gwen didn't appreciate it, sidestepping the other party's large hand that wanted to pat her shoulder, not caring whether the other party was embarrassed or not.
Homelander awkwardly retracted his hand, then turned to Lizard Peter, squeezing out a professional fake smile, and giving a thumbs up, he said:
“Of course, you performed very well just now too.”
Even Queen Maeve, who had always had great opinions about Gwen's 'popularity' surpassing her own, now had to re-examine this girl who liked to “hide” her whole person in a suit.
“I've done what I promised you, I hope you can keep your promise too!”
Gwen didn't seem to appreciate Homelander's主动showing goodwill. After all, her purpose in joining the Seven was very clear, which was to more easily investigate the whereabouts of SHIELD and Eddie Brock.
As for the others… if it's just routine rescue operations, Gwen doesn't reject it, but if it's like what was revealed before, needing to help Vought secretly铲除异己, Gwen will definitely not agree.
She has always had her own bottom line for what she can do and what she can't!
Of course, this point had already been told to Homelander when Gwen agreed to join the Seven, and the other party also said that he completely respected her personal wishes.
That's why Gwen agreed to join.
“Don't worry, I've always been a person who keeps promises…”
Seeing Gwen and Lizard Peter wanting to leave, Homelander suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded:
“Oh, right, remember not to turn off your phones these days. Ashley will call you later to inform you of the time for your official public debut!!”
At this time, Ashley Barrett carefully poked her head into the auditorium. After confirming that the battle was over, she trotted to Homelander and handed him a tablet, saying:
“Mr. Homelander, J. Jonah Jameson is about to start爆料!!”
“Hmm, what爆料?”
A hint of doubt appeared in Homelander's eyes. He immediately took the tablet and muttered to himself with a face full of anticipation: “Maybe there will be some unexpected gains this time!”
He really wanted to see what kind of shocking news the other party still had to reveal?
In fact, not only did Homelander want to know, but even the hundreds of thousands of netizens who had been squatting in the Daily Bugle's直播room and had just watched a wonderful battle also wanted to know what was hidden behind this great war?
And they always firmly believed that J. Jonah Jameson would not let them down!
And that was exactly the case.
“Dear viewers, I believe you have already seen that the culprit who caused the tragic KB attack in Manhattan's Upper East Side, former Payback Captain Soldier Boy, has just been联killed by Spider-Woman, Homelander, and Queen Maeve. This is undoubtedly a joyful news…
According to the original plan, I should now seize the opportunity to popularize in detail the things related to Soldier Boy, Billy Butcher, and others for everyone, but just now, I suddenly received a爆料from a well-informed person who did not want to be named. Because the content of the爆料is very shocking, I have to temporarily change the plan and give priority to presenting you with first-hand, freshly baked explosive news…”
After a simple pull, pulling all the audience's expectations to the peak, J. Jonah Jameson then began the real爆料环节.
The newest novel is first published in the Six/9/Book/Bar!!
“Dear viewers, if I tell you now that whether it's Soldier Boy, who制造KB attacks, or Billy Butcher and others who colluded with this KB分子, they are all pawns deliberately pushed to the stage by certain people, would you believe it?”
“I believe many viewers will definitely feel疑惑and even suspect that I am deliberately conspiracy theorizing, but even if you think so, it doesn't matter at all, because the following video will show you the real source of this chain of events and the real culprit who has been hiding behind the scenes!!!”
“But to be honest, after I saw the content of the爆料, I seemed to have found that feeling again… that is, sitting on pins and needles, feeling uneasy, and having a lump in my throat. The content even subverted my past values and cognition, forcing me to re-examine some problems… So next, please watch the Vcr!!”
After saying that, a video was played.
In the picture, Nick Fury, with a thin layer of mosaic on his face, walked into Starlight's ward, and after talking to Billy Butcher and others for a few words, he handed them a piece of information about Soldier Boy, and also gave them four fluorescent green potions—which were exactly the Temporary Compound V that had not yet been officially mass-produced.
Finally, before leaving, Nick Fury specially used Starlight's medical expenses as a bargaining chip, threatening Billy Butcher and others that they must kill Homelander within a month!
Immediately after, before everyone could savor the content just now, the picture suddenly changed, becoming Billy Butcher and others going to a research institute in E罗斯 to rescue Soldier Boy…
One stone stirred up a thousand waves!
After watching the two videos, the netizens in the直播room instantly boiled over. They all demanded in the直播room that J. Jonah Jameson publish the uncensored HD photos of the幕后black guy!
“Old James, I'm not talking about you, this doesn't look like your usual style? Why did you put a code on the real culprit, how can this be called爆料?!”
“That's right, that's right, who are you looking down on? Do you think we can't afford to watch the HD version? Tell me, how much do I need to recharge this time?!”
“Today, I just want to see who is the畜生who planned all this behind the scenes?”
“Although I am not a racist, this black guy really pissed me off a bit. If there are any brothers who know his location, please report it, I'm going to bring biu~biu to really him offline!”
“Wait a minute, aren't you all curious about who the爆料person is? Why could he shoot such clear pictures, but he hasn't released them before?”
“What's so curious about this? The black guy can get the secrets about Soldier Boy, which shows that his identity is very unusual. Even if he is accidentally photographed by the爆料person, so what? If it were you… would you dare to post it online at that time?”
“That's right, if it weren't for the Daily Bugle直播this time, I'm afraid the爆料person still wouldn't dare to release the news, right?”
Although J. Jonah Jameson specially requested the TV station staff to put a mosaic on Nick Fury's face, anyone who had seen Nick Fury could immediately recognize his true identity from his dress, as well as his speaking tone and movements, and that iconic black卤蛋head.
So it doesn't really matter whether the code is打不打.
But the reason why J. Jonah Jameson did this was not because he was afraid of the threats from SHIELD and Nick Fury, but because he deliberately wanted to arouse greater public outrage!
Facts have proved that this trick works very well.
Faced with the surging public opinion, J. Jonah Jameson deliberately pretended to be a纠结look of 'this makes it difficult for me', forcibly controlling hundreds of thousands of netizens for more than a minute, before gradually becoming firm in his expression, as if complying with public opinion, and then saying with certainty:
“Actually, putting a code on the other party's face is not because I want to protect this real culprit, but because the other party's identity is really too powerful… I have been threatened by him before, and even the Daily Bugle almost closed down because of this, but today I will go all out for everyone.”
While speaking, J. Jonah Jameson ordered the staff to replay the uncensored video again, and then after the video ended, before the vast number of netizens could ask questions, he主动introduced:
“The black… cough cough, I mean this dark-skinned man that everyone just saw, his real identity is the director of SHIELD, Nick Fury!!”
The netizens in the直播room suddenly understood, no wonder even Old James, who has always been不怕and不怕,主动put a code on the other party's face, it turned out to be SHIELD啊?
This also explains why the other party can not only get the confidential documents of Soldier Boy, but also get the Temporary Compound V that has not yet been officially put into production.
That's right, everything is right!
So the netizens in the直播room boiled over again, cursing SHIELD and Nick Fury for not being human.
There were also many netizens with a sense of justice who decided to organize people to go to the White House to demonstrate tomorrow morning, and must let the President close SHIELD, and must remove Nick Fury, this tumor!!
Unlike the netizens' righteous indignation, Homelander was unusually calm after seeing this news, but Queen Maeve, who knew him better, could tell from the occasional twitch of the corner of his mouth that this man was really angry, so she quickly劝:
“Homelander, don't mess around, SHIELD is a formal organization under the United Nations, and it is not something that we and Vought can对抗…”
“Hmph, I know this without you telling me.”
Homelander said with a straight face, coldly哼道: “If that black guy wasn't the director of SHIELD, I would have flown over and blown his dog's head off by now!”
