Chapter 750

~6 min read 1,168 words

In a certain safe house, Hughie held the bomb remote control, his expression nervous, his eyes flickering as he stared at the cage not far away.

The cage was large, and it looked like it was prepared for a large dog, but it was empty inside, with nothing at all.

No.

To be precise, it looked like there was nothing.

"Kid, Homelander will find me soon, and his temper isn't as good as mine. You'll all be dead by then."

"I know you were forced by that bearded guy. As long as you let me go, I promise I won't cause you any trouble when I get out."

A hoarse and low man's voice came from the empty cage.

This invisible man was none other than the missing member of The Seven—Translucent!

Hughie glanced at the aluminum foil shielding the surroundings and felt a little relieved. This stuff could not only block the chip signal in Translucent's body but also block Homelander's X-ray vision.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The knocking on the door sounded suddenly without warning, and Hughie was so startled that he almost pressed the bomb remote control in his hand.

Subconsciously looking at Translucent, Hughie took a deep breath and walked toward the door on tiptoe.

"Who, who is it?"

"Me."

A strange man's voice came from outside, which made Hughie's heart jump into his throat instantly.

Was, was he discovered?

What to do?

What to do?

What to do?

Intense fear made Hughie lose his head instantly, and the words "what to do" echoed back and forth in his mind.

"Click!"

In a daze, Hughie saw the door latch strangely slide open by itself.

Immediately after, the door was pushed open, and two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in Hughie's line of sight.

"It's over, it's actually Queen Maeve..."

Dead!

He was dead for sure!

Recognizing Queen Maeve, Hughie was struck by lightning, and a huge sense of despair plunged him into darkness.

"Maeve!"

"I'm here, hurry up and let me out!"

Human joys and sorrows are not the same. Compared to Hughie's fear and despair, Translucent in the cage was incomparably happy and excited.

He had already begun to imagine how to deal with these bastards who kidnapped him!

However...

Queen Maeve just glanced in his direction, then withdrew her gaze as if she hadn't heard anything, with no other reaction.

"It's you?!"

Hughie, who had calmed down a little, looked at the man beside Queen Maeve, his pupils gradually focusing, and he finally remembered.

Isn't this the man who turned Billy into a super-human?

In the nightclub alley, he was with Starlight, the new member of The Seven, and injected Billy with an unknown serum, making Billy a super-human.

After that, Billy had been looking for him, but had never found out his identity or origin.

"Long time no see, Hughie."

Su Quan greeted him, patted his shoulder naturally, and walked toward the cage where Translucent was locked.

Hughie was stunned, hurriedly followed, and asked nervously: "What, what do you want to do?"

Su Quan looked at Translucent, who was invisible to the naked eye, with interest.

Translucent's ability is his carbon metamaterial skin, which not only allows him to achieve invisibility by refracting and bending light but also gives him indestructible defensive power.

If it weren't for The Boys stuffing a high-explosive bomb into his body from behind and letting it explode from inside, it wouldn't have been that easy to kill him.

"Swish—"

The All-Black sword surged from Su Quan's hand and quickly took shape.

The pitch-black long sword emitted a faint cold light, and before anyone could react, it pierced Translucent's shoulder with a "pfft" sound.

"Ah!!!"

Translucent immediately let out a shrill and painful scream, and bright red blood quickly spilled from the place pierced by the All-Black sword.

Hughie was stunned.

Queen Maeve was also stunned, but what stunned her wasn't Su Quan attacking Translucent, but that Su Quan's sword was so sharp that it could easily pierce Translucent's skin.

This sword could pierce Translucent, so it could pierce her, and it could most likely pierce Homelander too!

You have to know that Homelander's most terrifying aspect is his absolute defensive power; almost no one, no power, can break his defense, let alone kill him.

Of course, Su Quan could do it, but with Su Quan's strength, he is the only one in the whole world.

This sword is different; even if there is only one, whoever holds this sword can possess the power to kill Homelander!

"Master, what is this sword..." Queen Maeve asked in a low voice, her eyes burning.

"All-Black."

"Also known as, the God-Killer Sword!"

God-Killer Sword?

Queen Maeve's eyes brightened even more.

Hughie's eyes were also sparkling; he felt like he had discovered something incredible.

Queen Maeve is currently the most popular female superhero and the flagship of The Seven; she, she actually calls this mysterious man "Master"?

Hughie knew very well that the "Master" Queen Maeve called wasn't the kind that those bastard superhero scum called during their playtime.

In other words, Queen Maeve is a member of The Seven on the surface, but in reality, she is this mysterious man's person?

And another member of The Seven, Starlight, seems to be his person too.

From the fact that he pierced Translucent without hesitation, it can be seen that he shouldn't be a Vought person.

"Who exactly are you..." Hughie asked secretly in his heart.

"My name is Su Quan."

Su Quan turned to look at him and said.

"Su Quan?"

"Wait, I, did I just say that out loud?" Hughie was flustered.

Su Quan nodded.

Hughie was embarrassed and at a loss, never expecting that he would accidentally ask his inner thoughts out loud.

However... he finally knew his name.

Su Quan pulled out the All-Black sword, turned his wrist, and with a "swish," blood sprayed out like a fountain.

The invisible Translucent gradually revealed his figure, clutching his split neck with both hands, and fell into the cage in disbelief.

Translucent was dead.

He died very suddenly and very peacefully.

At least more peacefully than being blown into powder and leaving no corpse behind...

"You, you killed him?" Hughie looked at Translucent's corpse and asked Su Quan blankly.

Su Quan put away the All-Black sword, rolled his eyes, and said: "He saw my face."

"You also saw my face..."

If you see your face, you have to die? Then I... Hughie's face turned white instantly.

"Pfft—" Su Quan grinned and patted Hughie: "I'm joking, you actually believed it."

"Jo, joking?"

"If I wanted to kill you, you would have died last time. Hughie, oh Hughie, when will you ever be a bit braver?"

"How about... I turn you into a super-human too?" Su Quan asked, inciting him.

Although Hughie's courage is a bit small, the things he does with Billy and the others inevitably require frequent action. Injecting him with the Super Soldier Serum wouldn't be a loss!
