110. Chapter 110: Say That Again If You Dare!
The moment his words fell, the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Now this is going to be interesting." In an instant, most people at the Gala Venue turned their gaze towards A-Train, especially the executives from The Pentagon, who wore expressions of schadenfreude.
"Interesting, it's my first time seeing dogs bite dogs. But speaking of which, how did A-Train break his leg?" One of the executives said softly, holding a wine glass. A colleague standing beside him shrugged, "Who knows? Looks like someone broke it."
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the Vought Executive who had just spoken was now filled with deep regret. He hadn't expected A-Train to react so strongly to what he thought was just a joke. "Sorry, I'm drunk. I apologize to you."
To ensure the Gala went smoothly, the white executive could only back down to A-Train.
"That's a good excuse." Ever since Kimiko broke his right leg, A-Train felt countless strange gazes on him whenever he went shopping or to a bar, as if his broken leg was constantly being watched.
Besides that, he also noticed more and more advertisements for Shockwave on the roadside.
There seemed to be signs of him being replaced.
That's why A-Train chose to attend Vought's Gala tonight, even without an invitation.
For no other reason than to prove to everyone that even though he was injured, he was still a member of The Seven! "Shit, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm a Supe, even if my leg is broken, I can recover quickly. Don't forget, I'm A-Train, The Fastest Man Alive!" A-Train's tone was grim. He was like an injured hyena leader, baring his fangs to the crowd to secure his territory.
"Hopefully, you can recover your original speed after you heal."
Suddenly, Xia Shang's voice sounded from behind A-Train.
"Mr. Jervis, Shockwave."
A-Train's face instantly became extremely ugly after seeing Shockwave beside Xia Shang. He didn't understand why Shockwave could come to the Dinner Party Venue.
"I won't introduce this one, I'm sure you know him." Xia Shang smiled slightly.
"Just someone I defeated. How is he qualified to attend the Dinner Party?"
Shockwave's sudden appearance made A-Train subtly uneasy. Was this Vought's intention? Did Vought want Shockwave to replace him? Impossible, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
"He is a special guest at this Dinner Party." Xia Shang's words confirmed A-Train's suspicion.
Just then, a panel prompt popped up in front of Xia Shang, [Blazing Wings Fusion in progress, current progress 100%]
Xia Shang didn't hesitate and chose to directly analyze A-Train's speed.
"I cannot be replaced." A-Train looked into Xia Shang's eyes and said word by word.
"Let's hope so."
Xia Shang knew he couldn't provoke this poor guy any further, otherwise, he was worried A-Train's heart couldn't take it. If he suddenly died at the Gala Venue, that would be a big mess.
A-Train's face was ashen. He pushed through the crowd, sat on a nearby sofa, picked up a wine glass, and drank continuously.
"Go introduce yourself to everyone. Most people here are Vought Executives."
"Okay, Mr. Jervis."
A few minutes later, the analysis was successfully completed.
[Talent Skill: Superspeed]
[Fusion Condition: Defeat A-Train and make him completely lose the ability to resist]
[After fusion, the player will possess extremely fast speed, even capable of surpassing the speed of sound, and the maximum speed can reach over 1600 kilometers per hour. In addition, the player's reaction speed will also be enhanced.]
On the other side.
Just now, Madelyn Stillwell received a Dividend Contract from President Stan Edgar. To be honest, her mood at this moment was completely opposite to A-Train's. Recalling the day in the Interrogation Room, who could have imagined that just as she was about to agree to revoke the Military Bill, a Super Terrorist would appear, instantly reversing the situation.
Was it really God's blessing?
Madelyn Stillwell planned to dig out the Bible at Home and reread it after the Gala ended.
"You look like you're in a good mood." Homelander walked over to Madelyn Stillwell.
"You should know, I went to see Jonah Vogelbaum, and he told me everything."
"I never wanted you to find out this way."
Madelyn Stillwell held Homelander's right hand with a slight apology.
"Let me guess, you wanted to protect me then." Homelander's gaze fell on Madelyn Stillwell's face.
"Of course, we both did." Madelyn Stillwell said without hesitation.
"Did you think I was fragile? In fact, you can't accomplish anything without me." The real reason behind the scenes why Homelander created those Super Terrorists was actually for Madelyn Stillwell's Military Bill.
"I believe you." Madelyn Stillwell nodded slightly, indicating her agreement.
But Homelander saw that she was just humoring him, so he withdrew his hand. "Have you ever thought about it? A Supe Terrorist appearing exactly when we needed one, as if someone deliberately arranged it. You don't think it was just a coincidence, do you?"
"Was it you?"
Madelyn Stillwell wasn't stupid. When Homelander started talking, she had already guessed some of the truth behind the scenes.
And Homelander's subsequent words confirmed her suspicion.
Homelander said somewhat proudly, "That's right, I personally created the Supe Terrorists. I just borrowed a little Compound V. I had A-Train deliver it all over the world, and then injected it into some extremists. Although it sounds simple, almost an understatement, it was actually very difficult."
"However, I don't want to brag about this. To be honest, using those adults as test subjects, their survival rate is much lower than babies. That was really difficult to manage. Fortunately, I succeeded, and enough people survived. This operation was a huge victory."
Although Homelander said he didn't want to brag, his boastful expression was practically overflowing.
At this moment, he was completely like a child, eager to get Madelyn Stillwell's approval after achieving something small.
Madelyn Stillwell didn't speak. She gazed affectionately at Homelander, then cupped his face with both hands. Closing her eyes tightly, she kissed Homelander passionately.
Afterwards, Madelyn Stillwell took Homelander to her Locker Room. The following three thousand words of plot are omitted...
......
The screen image turned back to Xia Shang.
After the Reception ended, Xia Shang received a phone call from Hughie.
"Frenchie and the others were caught. Billy abandoned us."
