Chapter 15

"Heartbeat, that's the first gift you gave me." Starlight did make Su Quan's heart beat, but heartbeat is also divided into many kinds!

She will definitely pay a price. Instead of being cheap for The Deep, why can't it be me?

Isn't the greatest function of knowing the plot to use foresight to intercept benefits?

"I believe this, but—" Starlight examined Su Quan, not believing he could let her join the Seven: "If you want to know me, you don't need to use this clumsy lie that can be easily exposed."

I don't know who was fooled into paying a price in two or three sentences. The Deep's lies aren't very clever either, right?

"Ring, ring, ring—ring, ring, ring—" Su Quan's phone rang. The only one who knew this number was Queen Maeve.

Connect, turn on the speaker, and Queen Maeve's slightly uneasy voice came out—

"It's me, Maeve. There is a task that I and Homelander need to deal with. I—I'm worried there will be trouble."

Queen Maeve was worried that Homelander would take the opportunity to attack her while performing the task.

She knew that Homelander could do such a thing!

She knew, this kind of thing Homelander can do!

"Can, can you come over?"

You could hear her cautious eagerness through the phone.

Su Quan glanced at the shocked Starlight, and she didn't resist when he put his arm around her shoulder.

"You are my person, of course I won't ignore it if there is trouble. Send me the address."

Queen Maeve breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll send it to you right away."

"By the way, Lamplighter retired and left the Seven. Are you qualified to recommend newcomers to join?" Su Quan asked suddenly.

Starlight raised her head suddenly, looking over with eager eyes.

"I can recommend newcomers to enter the re-selection directly. As long as the ability is not too bad, there should be no problem."

"What about adding Homelander?"

"Then there's no problem at all!"

Su Quan said "hmm," looked at Starlight deeply, and asked pointedly: "Then, refusing the joining of a certain newcomer should also be no problem, right?"

"Yes, that's even easier!"

"I see, see you later."

"See you later."

Hanging up the call, Su Quan looked at Starlight, who was hesitant and had a complex expression. Although she was somewhat innocent and inexperienced, she was not stupid. Naturally, she understood what Su Quan meant.

"Now it's not that I want to know you, but that you must know me—" Su Quan handed the phone over.

Starlight hesitated for a few seconds, took it, entered her number, and dialed it.

After it connected, she hung up and returned the phone to Su Quan.

"Waiting for your call." Su Quan shook his phone and disappeared silently under Starlight's gaze.

Starlight reached out to grab the place where Su Quan disappeared in astonishment, but it was empty, and there was nothing.

"Da, da, da—da, da, da—" The remaining bank robbers were forced into a dead end. Homelander and Queen Maeve approached easily from left to right, and the bullets hitting them scattered on the ground.

"Don't kill me—don't kill me—please—don't kill me." The bank robber threw away his gun, and the intense fear made him unable to help but kneel and beg for mercy.

"You shouldn't be alive!" Homelander came to the bank robber with a cold tone, pinched his neck, and lifted him up.

Queen Maeve looked at Homelander, who turned to stare at her, with a gloomy expression: "What do you want to say!"

Homelander looked at Queen Maeve with vicious and cold eyes, as if he wanted to tear her alive.

"I said—you shouldn't be alive!" The cold voice fell, and his hand directly pierced the bank robber's chest.

In an instant, Homelander's ferocity and long-standing shadow made Queen Maeve have the illusion of empathy for the bank robber, as if the person being pierced was not him, but herself.

Her body trembled slightly uncontrollably, her eyes dodged subconsciously, and she wanted to lower her head.

"Don't be afraid, I don't have to be afraid of him anymore. He—he is no longer an invincible devil."

"Yes, don't be afraid!"

Queen Maeve took a deep breath to cheer herself up, and her eyes looking at Homelander gradually became firm.

For Homelander, this firm and fearless look was a provocation and blasphemy to him.

With a heavy snort, the bank robber, who was already cold, was thrown on the ground like trash by him. His eyes staring at Queen Maeve gradually became fiery red, as if he was ready to use his "eyes" to kill her at any time.

"Bang!"

A hot, fiery red heat vision hit Homelander's knee abruptly. The caught-off-guard Homelander knelt directly in front of Queen Maeve with a thud.

"Who is it!"

The angry Homelander turned his head and growled through gritted teeth, and then—it was like a surging flame meeting the ocean, a barking dog seeing the stick in its master's hand, a villain relying on power losing his backing—instantly cowardly!

"It's me, what do you want to say?" Su Quan slowly landed from mid-air, the fiery red in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a touch of playfulness.

The shadow Su Quan cast on Homelander was like the shadow Homelander cast on Queen Maeve. It couldn't be said to be completely similar, but it could only be said to be exactly the same!
