Chapter 1397

Su Quan's tone became softer as he helped Homelander up and healed the wound on his shoulder.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Homelander was full of frustration that he wouldn't live up to expectations and the hope that he would become a dragon.

This look moved Homelander instantly; he wanted to gain his father's approval, he wanted to prove his excellence to everyone!

"Fa, Father, what do you want me to do?" Homelander asked.

Su Quan glanced at Becca and Ryan and said earnestly: "Now you are also a father. You should set an excellent example for Ryan, letting him know what a real man should do when encountering difficulties!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Ryan: "Ryan, do you hope your father is a loser who only relies on superpowers, or a hero who has the courage and ability to face everything even without powers!"

If this question were asked to an adult who had been struggling in society for a long time, the answer might be to become a loser who only relies on superpowers.

Please, what's wrong with that?

If one could possess Homelander's abilities, even if everyone called you a "loser without superpowers," you could still smile and accept it happily, right?

If they kept scolding you, heh, want to learn about heat vision?

But if you ask Ryan, the answer will only be...

"I hope Dad is a hero!" Ryan said crisply.

Su Quan smiled.

"The approval of 'Father' and the expectation of your son—A-Zu, just give in!"

Su Quan said seriously to Homelander: "First, I can tell you that I can restore your superpowers."

"Second, I will ensure your safety, but that is all."

"Finally, tell me, A-Zu, are you willing to prove to me and to Ryan that you are a real man who can be a hero even without superpowers?"

"I am not willing..." Homelander answered secretly in his heart.

What a joke!

He couldn't imagine what he should do without superpowers!

He is Homelander, the most powerful and popular Homelander; once people know he has no superpowers, everything he has now will vanish into thin air.

He craves his father's approval and craves to be an example for his son, but without power, he is not Homelander.

What can he do?

He can do nothing!

Homelander's silence made Su Quan secretly curl his lips; this guy is indeed very self-centered...

However, it's also that the situation isn't right, or rather, the timing isn't ripe!

Asking you to give up your abilities for no reason, just to gain your father's approval or your son's adoration—who would agree to that!

Not to mention that the son himself adores the version of him that has superpowers!

This kind of rhetoric, this kind of trickery, only works in specific environments and conditions!

But it doesn't matter; Su Quan was just going with the flow anyway, taking a couple of swings regardless of whether there were dates to hit.

If Homelander doesn't agree, then he doesn't agree; anyway... it's not up to him!

PS: Writing this chapter made me dizzy; I revised it over and over again because, with the plot of The Boys, Su Quan would steamroll regardless of which camp he stands in. Worried that the plot would be too bland, I kept thinking about interesting entry points.

But I don't know if it's appropriate or if people will like reading it, and I still have to balance the logic. In short, I've tried my best to write it, and I hope everyone is satisfied.
