Chapter 1402

"Deal?"

Homelander looked at Queen Maeve, and a wicked, arrogant smile appeared on his face again.

Queen Maeve frowned and asked: "Help you make the call?"

"No!"

"Help me figure out how to restore my superpowers!"

Homelander did indeed only want Queen Maeve to contact his father at first.

But after his IQ occupied the high ground again, he suddenly realized that his core problem wasn't contacting his father, but restoring his superpowers!

Father is determined to test him and temper him.

Even if he contacted him, it would be impossible to restore his superpowers now.

The most urgent thing right now is not contacting Father, but figuring out how to restore his superpowers!

For example—Father's requirements?

"Deal?"

Homelander asked again.

Queen Maeve stared at him for a few seconds and said through gritted teeth, unwillingly: "Listen, I'm not helping you, or rather, the only reason I'm helping you is because you are his son!"

Homelander nodded with a smile: "I understand."

"First, I don't need you to do anything! Second, I will help you ask around, but I don't guarantee the result! Finally, I will never, ever, ever be on your side!"

"No matter for what reason..."

Queen Maeve, who had stated her attitude, snorted and withdrew the Lasso of Truth.

Homelander breathed a sigh of relief and looked warily at the Lasso of Truth that Queen Maeve had put back on her waist.

This thing is definitely an interrogation tool.

It is also the nightmare of all "superheroes" who are glamorous in the light but notoriously evil in the dark.

No.

It should be called a disaster!

"Bang bang bang."

A light knock on the door sounded. Homelander hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded with a pretentious air.

"Bang."

The door was pushed open. Ashley Barrett tilted her head and said somewhat urgently: "Mr. Homelander, Queen Maeve, CEO Madelyn wants you to go to the conference room immediately."

"Got it," Homelander responded casually.

Ashley Barrett added hesitantly: "This matter is very important and very urgent, so..."

Homelander was about to reprimand her impatiently, but then he saw Ashley Barrett reveal a fearful and panicked expression, as if she were used to it or had expected it.

"..."

"I know, we'll be there right away."

Homelander held it in and changed to a softer tone.

Ashley Barrett was stunned, then seemed to think of something, nodded in fear, closed the door, and left.

Before long, Queen Maeve and Homelander arrived at the conference room one after the other.

In the conference room, Madelyn was looking at the big screen with excitement.

A-Train, The Deep, Starlight, and Black Noir were all present, sitting in their respective seats.

A-Train glanced at Homelander and Queen Maeve with some surprise, secretly wondering why Homelander would walk behind Queen Maeve.

Don't underestimate this small order of entry.

Given Homelander's personality of competing for everything, if you dare to walk in front of him, he dares to make sure you never need to walk again in this life.

Homelander walked to his seat with a normal expression, looking as steady as an old dog, but actually feeling panicked inside.

With such a big formation, it's definitely not a small matter. I hope I don't need to go on a mission...

Stay steady.

Must stay steady.

Absolutely cannot let them know I lost my superpowers.

"Homelander... Homelander?" Madelyn's call echoed faintly.

Homelander, who was so nervous that he was distracted, was stunned for a moment and looked at Madelyn: "What's wrong?"

Madelyn looked at him with concern: "Are you okay?"

Homelander forced a smile: "I'm fine."

Madelyn looked at him deeply and said again: "A transoceanic flight from Paris to Chicago was hijacked in mid-air."

"A few minutes ago, a source from the Air Defense Command gave us a tip; there are about three hijackers on the plane."

"Homelander, with your speed, you can arrive at the scene faster than the military's F-16 fighter jets."

Madelyn looked at Homelander and said excitedly: "You cannot perform missions in foreign territory, but a hijacked plane over international waters? If you intercept it, no one will protest!"

"If you bring those passengers back alive, not a single congressman will have the guts to vote against our bill."

The bill Madelyn mentioned is the military bill she has been pushing to have superheroes join the military.

Of all things to happen, it just had to be this...

Looking at Madelyn's excited and expectant eyes, Homelander's mouth went dry, his eyes drifted, and drops of cold sweat flowed down his temples.

He found that everyone else was looking at him as a matter of course, waiting for him to agree, and then go home to their respective mothers.

This kind of mission that meets the conditions and can increase support ratings has always been Homelander's exclusive.

After all, no one else can fly, and they wouldn't dare steal his limelight.

Bang—bang bang—bang bang bang—

Homelander's heartbeat grew faster and faster, and his ears were filled with a harsh buzzing sound.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Fuck!

Who the fuck can come and tell me what I should do right now!

Homelander's silence made the atmosphere in the conference room gradually become strange; they didn't understand why Homelander was silent.
