Chapter 1419: Homelander, a tiger fallen in the plains bullied by dogs

~7 min read 1,285 words

Just this?

Su Quan shook his head in disappointment, released the flame again, let the flame change into various shapes and appearances according to his will, and finally, with a 'bang', it dissipated.

"Can you do it?"

Su Quan looked at Lamplighter. Lamplighter twitched the corners of his mouth slightly and shook his head dejectedly.

He could control fire for attacks, but that was all. He couldn't do the fine micro-manipulation like Su Quan.

If he wasn't mistaken, Lamplighter should be a version of Green Lantern, but although Green Lantern occasionally dropped the chain, his ability was genuinely strong.

Lamplighter, on the other hand—wearing the face of Iceman, using the ability of Iceman's nemesis Pyro, and then not even as good as Pyro...

Yes, Lamplighter's appearance was exactly the same as the mutant Iceman, just slightly older, with a more weathered appearance and temperament, especially the full beard style, which was very similar to Iceman during the Days of Future Past period.

Although Lamplighter's ability was poor, his character was still relatively kind. He hadn't done bad things, and he hadn't killed people; he just didn't treat human life like grass like Homelander and Stormfront.

It's just that this guy didn't have the courage to resist. Even if he didn't want to in his heart, he would still complete the tasks assigned to him.

One of his jobs at the nursing home was to follow Stormfront's instructions to eliminate those 'patients' who tried to leave the nursing home.

"Take me to the ward for a tour; I want to see them one by one."

"Yes."

Lamplighter responded and took Su Quan to the ward area.

……

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

While Su Quan was farming abilities one by one in the ward area, Vought International held a massive press conference.

This press conference had two themes.

One: Detailed explanation of the process by which A-Train and Great Miracle successfully rescued the plane hijacked by terrorists.

Two: Translucent announces his retirement, and Stormfront will become a new member of The Seven.

Although the part about A-Train and Great Miracle rescuing the plane was a bit embellished and exaggerated, they did indeed save the hundreds of passengers on the plane.

It is conceivable that after the fermentation of the media and the promotion of the company, the number of fans and support rate of the two would definitely rise sharply.

A-Train was fine; besides excitement, he was just thrilled.

Great Miracle was not so happy. He didn't know that Translucent was going to retire, and he was very dissatisfied with Stormfront taking Translucent's position.

He felt that his popularity and support rate were not low, and now he had made a big splash by saving a plane full of people. It should have been his turn to replace Translucent and join The Seven.

Why was it Stormfront, whose popularity and support rate were not outstanding?

Had she saved a plane full of people?

Unfortunately, even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he could only support and congratulate Stormfront on becoming a new member of The Seven with a fake smile in front of the media and the audience!

However, compared to Homelander, Great Miracle's dissatisfaction was nothing.

As the captain of The Seven, Homelander definitely had to show up for such an important occasion as an old member retiring and a new member joining.

Homelander initially refused. Having lost his superpowers, he was like losing the armor that protected him, and he didn't want to show up in front of people at all.

But times had changed. Now Homelander had not only lost his superpowers but also lost his original privileges with Madelyn and Queen Maeve because of Su Quan.

Not only did he have to attend the press conference, but he also had to act with the shapeshifter who was impersonating Translucent, and he had to welcome Stormfront's joining together with Queen Maeve.

What was even more depressing was that even after leaving the stage, he couldn't fly away with a 'whoosh' like he used to without his superpowers. He could only honestly wait backstage for staff to arrange a vehicle to send him back.

Watching Stormfront become the focus on stage, listening to the surrounding employees curiously discussing why he didn't fly away but instead waited for others to drive him, Homelander's teeth were almost bitten to pieces.

These behaviors, which seemed 'normal' in the eyes of others, gave the sensitive Homelander the grievance and anger of a tiger fallen in the plains being bullied by dogs.

Enduring and enduring, enduring and enduring, he finally endured until he could leave by car, but less than five minutes after driving out, he heard a loud 'bang'.

The tire blew out!

And it wasn't a normal blowout, but it was hit by a stray bullet.

The car swayed and hit the curb, stopping. Homelander looked out the car window in shock, and saw a man holding a pistol, looking back in a panic while rushing over and pulling open the car door.

"Click!"

The car door was pulled open with force. The man with the gun and Homelander saw each other, and neither of them moved, staring at each other.

The man with the gun didn't expect that Homelander was sitting in the car.

Homelander didn't expect that he could encounter such a thing while sitting properly in the car!

Bad luck!

Fear!

The thoughts in the minds of the two people staring at each other were surprisingly consistent.

"Homelander, kill him quickly!"

When the two were stunned, the driver in the car didn't have so many psychological activities; he only had one thought.

The invincible Homelander is sitting in my car. Who are you robbing, and you're robbing my car? This is like lighting a lamp in a latrine—looking for death!

As soon as the driver shouted this, the man with the gun panicked and instinctively aimed the muzzle at Homelander.

It was truly instinctive; after all, who doesn't know that Homelander is bulletproof!

"Fuck!"

Homelander cursed in his heart in a panic. In the past, in his eyes, things like guns were toys. Let alone aiming at him, even if they shot directly, he wouldn't even take a second look.

But now, he kept staring at the pitch-black muzzle in front of him and the finger on the trigger, very afraid that a bullet would fly out in the next second and kill him.

"You... you... you..." The man with the gun's arm trembled slightly, and he was so scared he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Little did he know, the Homelander he was afraid of was even more afraid than him right now!

Because, he really could die!

Homelander took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and said with a calm and composed face: "Don't be nervous, relax, relax..."

"I won't do anything to you."

"Today... today The Seven welcomed a new member. Her name is Stormfront, and I admire her ability and personality very much."

"I don't want to ruin a rare good mood, so... put down the gun and leave here."

Homelander's eyes were very sincere. The man with the gun was stunned for a few seconds, seemingly not expecting that Homelander was actually willing to let him go.

"You, are you serious? You're really letting me go?" the man with the gun asked tentatively.

Homelander nodded affirmatively: "Really, you can go! Go, hurry up and go!"

The man with the gun still couldn't believe that he had actually received the favor of the Goddess of Luck, and continued to ask, worried: "You, you won't suddenly attack me when I leave, right?" ===== CHAPTER 1421 =====
