Chapter 1421: A-Train's suspicion, Homelander's breakdown! (Second update, please subscribe!)
Homelander had already practiced a hundred ways for the gunman to die in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't dare to show the slightest panic or impatience.
"You go, I won't attack you," Homelander said with a smile.
"Really..."
The gunman was about to ask again, but Homelander suddenly put on a cold face and said coldly: "Hurry up and go! If you don't go, I'll change my mind!"
"Going, going, I'm going right now!" The gunman was startled, didn't dare to ask any more, hurriedly put down the gun, turned around, and ran away.
"Hoo..."
Seeing that the annoying guy had finally rolled away, Homelander quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then slammed the car door shut as if to vent, and scolded the driver, who was looking puzzled, in a bad mood.
"What are you looking at? Drive!"
"But... but the tire is blown..." the driver said in a low voice.
Homelander widened his eyes and said fiercely: "I told you to drive!!!"
"Drive immediately, I'll drive immediately!"
Homelander's prestige still remained, and the driver, not daring to talk back, could only ignore the effect of the flat tire and start the car, hitting the road again with a clatter.
Half an hour later, the anxious Homelander finally returned to Vought International without any danger.
Vought International was his base camp and his home. The solid sense of security surged into his heart again, making a smile hang on Homelander's face once more.
"Whoosh——"
A gust of wind swept in. Homelander hadn't reacted to what had happened when he heard a loud 'bang', and his whole body was hit as if by a speeding train, instantly flying out.
"Bang!"
Upon landing, Homelander's expression was painful, his body trembled slightly, and his entire body's bones felt as if they had been shaken apart.
"I, I'm sorry, I didn't notice..."
A panicked apology sounded. Homelander was startled and hurriedly endured the pain to put away the painful expression on his face.
He was Homelander, the Homelander with a body of steel. He absolutely couldn't let anyone see that he was hurt—absolutely not!!!
Damn it, he had clearly arrived home, clearly was safe, but he had been inexplicably sent flying.
Isn't this an unprovoked disaster?
Why!
Why am I so unlucky!!!
"Homelander, are, are you okay?" A-Train's expression was panicked, his voice fearful, but a trace of suspicion flashed in the depths of his eyes.
I, I actually sent Homelander flying?
This can't be, right?
But... Homelander did fly out, and if I didn't see wrong, he seemed very... very painful just now?
"A-Train!!!"
Homelander stood up pretending to be relaxed, his anger flaring, staring with gritted teeth at the culprit who made him make a fool of himself and caused him such pain.
The look in one's eyes when wanting to kill someone cannot be hidden. Although A-Train didn't know why Homelander seemed to have become weaker, the long-standing oppression and bullying still made him instinctively fearful.
Especially Homelander's murderous gaze, which made him not dare to look at him at all.
"I, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to, I didn't see you, I... I'm sorry!" A-Train apologized in a panic, hanging his head and speaking incoherently.
Homelander, full of oppressive force, didn't say a word, staring at him coldly.
Time seemed to become incredibly slow at this moment...
A-Train, feeling like a day was like a year, bore tremendous pressure, holding his breath nervously and tentatively, not daring to look up at all.
"Get out!"
After a long, long time, Homelander finally shouted sharply.
"Hoo..."
Escaped death, escaped death!
A-Train quietly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly expressed his gratitude for Homelander's magnanimity, and then walked quickly into the corner of the corridor with his head down, disappearing.
"Hoo..."
The moment A-Train's figure disappeared around the corner, Homelander, who was fierce in appearance but weak in reality, also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the mask of pain hung on his face again.
"Fuck!"
"!"
"Fuck!"
Homelander cursed in a low voice while sucking in cold air, limping toward his room.
At the corner of the corridor, A-Train's head quietly poked out, staring in disbelief at Homelander's staggering, shambling, and wretched figure.
"Why... why did Homelander become like this? Could it be... could it be that he lost his superpowers?"
A-Train felt his guess was ridiculous. How could Homelander lose his superpowers for no reason, and he had never heard that superpowers could disappear...
This is too absurd!
But Homelander's previous abnormality and his reaction just now made it hard for him not to think in this direction.
Besides losing his superpowers, A-Train couldn't think of any other reason that could make Homelander so fragile!
If... if Homelander really lost his superpowers, would he not have to be afraid of him anymore?
And without superpowers, he wouldn't have any value to the company, right? Maybe he would even be kicked out of The Seven.
No, he would definitely be kicked out of The Seven!
Without Homelander pressing down on top, even if he couldn't replace him as the captain of The Seven, he could at least be a vice-captain, right?
And he had just saved a plane full of people. If the company transferred the resources that originally belonged to Homelander to him, his popularity and support rate would definitely increase significantly, maybe even surpassing Queen Maeve...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A-Train felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster. He bit his dry lips hard, and his eyes gradually became firm.
…………
Regardless of interests or grudges, A-Train decided to secretly investigate what exactly had happened.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Homelander didn't know that his abnormality had already been discovered by his number one lackey. Returning to his room, he ignored the pain in his body and vented his grievances and anger fiercely.
The ornaments, water cups, vases, and television in the room were all smashed to pieces.
After venting, Homelander lay on the sofa in a wretched state, panting and closing his eyes, shedding tears of grievance.
He didn't understand why his father had to eliminate his abilities. Was it just because his abilities were too strong to undergo tempering?
To hell with tempering!
Why do I have to undergo tempering?
Why should I have to undergo tempering?
Could it be that with tempering, I don't need superpowers?
Could it be that so-called tempering is more powerful than superpowers?
I am Homelander, I am your son, I should have had powerful abilities from the start!
Father!
Father!!!
What exactly do you want!
Only half an hour—once almost shot, once sent flying by a lackey and almost exposed. The Homelander who had lost his superpowers was tortured to the point of collapse by these encounters of crisis at every turn and walking on thin ice. ===== CHAPTER 1423 =====
