Chapter 1388: A father's fault is not teaching his son; Homelander, it

~3 min read 542 words

"Why are you here?"

The moment the door closed.

Starlight couldn't hold back and walked quickly to Su Quan, asking in surprise.

"That's what I should be asking you, right?"

"I remember before we parted last time, someone said they didn't want to join The Seven anymore; how come you joined again?"

Su Quan grabbed Starlight's wrist very naturally, pulled her over, and teased her softly with a half-smile.

"Could it be that you aren't the real Starlight? Oh... then you must be Starlight's twin sister or younger sister, right?"

"What was your original name?"

"Moonlight?"

"Or Starglow?"

Starlight, who had been teased by Su Quan, had a very embarrassed expression; she struggled to stand up unnaturally and hummed with shame and anger.

"Do you think I wanted to join?"

"Queen Maeve recommended me for the shortlist, and Vought International called my home. My mom was so happy she almost went crazy after answering the phone!"

"Since I was little, she has been trying hard to train me to be a superhero; I have participated in countless trainings and competitions."

"Now that there is finally an opportunity to join Vought International and join the most popular Seven, how could you expect me to say no to her!"

This was an explanation, and also a complaint.

For Starlight, joining The Seven was her biggest dream before.

But ever since she learned about the heinous and conscience-less things done by Vought International and The Seven, she didn't want to join at all.

However...

This was no longer something she could decide alone.

She didn't want to disappoint her mother, and she didn't dare tell her mother the true face of Vought International, so she could only sacrifice herself to enter the tiger's den and brave the quagmire.

Fortunately, with Queen Maeve's care, although she encountered many unfair things, she turned a blind eye, and could at least ensure she remained untainted in the mud.

"What about you? Why are you here?"

"This is the conference room dedicated to The Seven. Even company employees don't dare to borrow it casually, let alone sit in Homelander's seat drinking coffee."

"If Homelander finds out..."

I don't know if Starlight had the potential to be a jinx, or if Homelander's identity as a 'Cao Cao' had been confirmed.

Just as she mentioned Homelander, Homelander pushed the door open amidst Ashley Barrett's hesitant and stop-and-go obstruction.

"Oh no!"

Seeing Homelander walking expressionlessly toward Su Quan, who was sitting in his seat.

Ashley Barrett and Starlight's hearts instantly rose, and they seemed to have forgotten to breathe from nervousness...

Homelander stopped in front of Su Quan, glanced at his seat, and frowned slightly with dissatisfaction.

"This is my seat."

Su Quan took a sip of coffee and asked him faintly: "And then?"

This posture, this tone—

Is he crazy!

As an assistant for The Seven, one of Ashley Barrett's jobs was to clean up the trouble they caused.

She knew better than anyone how arrogant and cold-blooded Homelander was.

He was a cruel, cold-blooded tyrant!

"Mr. Su Quan, you'd better leave first."

Ashley Barrett gathered her courage to help Su Quan out of the siege, urging him to leave, while stealing a glance at Homelander's reaction. ===== CHAPTER 1390 =====
