Chapter Forty-Six: Thank You, Motherland
Madeleine and Ron then reveal some confidential insider information about the Watert Company.
For example, the presence of compound five.
There are no God's chosen people, no natural superpowers, all people who have been injected with compound five as babies and become superhuman.
The so-called superhero is actually a shocking scam to fool the public.
All superheroes are selected to be injected with compound 5 when they are infants, sign a non-disclosure agreement with each family, and recruit into the company after awakening the appropriate abilities.
The news that a large number of babies were being used as test subjects would cause a worldwide uproar if it broke out.
But Ron's face was cold, and his heart did not fluctuate.
I've known the inside story of Vought's superheroes and Compound Five for a long time.
What Madeleine said next was something new.
"Not all of us can awaken useful abilities, and not all of us grow up with a personality that is suitable for us as Walter's superheroes.
Whenever this happens, we need to take a variety of measures. ”
Madeleine, the vice president of Walter, chuckled, and beneath the smile was cruel darkness and gore.
Walter is unable to monitor and control the perceptions and growth of families around the world who have been injected with compound 5.
However, when someone jumps out and 'causes trouble' to Walter, Walter can temporarily send someone to solve the trouble easily, and then easily cover everything up with huge energy afterwards, and there has never been an accident for many years.
"For example, this case happened yesterday in New York."
Take out a few photos and set them on the table.
A number of gangsters and bandits armed with guns are fully armed, and their corpses seem to have been attacked by wild beasts, their faces are torn, their eyes are gouged out, and the scene is bloody and cruel.
"Transhuman crimes."
He glanced at it, ordinary people do not have this kind of power, and the environment of the corpse photo is reminiscent of a character in the original plot.
Kimiko, a wolf girl in the black-robed picket.
Originally, Walter didn't notice this incident at first, and it was covered up in advance by the locomotive who did things for the motherland.
's own influence has made the plot different again.
"Walter's superheroes should give the people an endless sense of security, each of them is a superhuman who will not be defeated, so that the company's stock price can be stable."
Madeleine said solemnly.
"So there are never superheroes in the world, no supervillains."
A playful look appeared on his face, and he said slowly.
The little thief and the robber can't beat the superhero, and there is no suspense in the battle.
But supervillains represent the possibility of defeating superheroes, which is not good for Vought's stock price.
"Ron, the company wants you to settle this."
"Me?"
Touching his chin, Ron didn't feel right.
This kind of thing Walter has always been handled by Xuanse, why did he find himself.
"Listen, Ron......"
Madeleine smiled, and then said something more.
Walking out of the VP's office, Ron understood the implication in Madeleine's words, and Edgar intended to get himself into the upper echelons.
So he revealed to him the darkness that Walter couldn't show to outsiders, and asked him to cover up Walter's darkness with his own hands, as a test of whether he could become a part of them or vote for his name?
"Entering the top level of Walter, can you figure out Walter's hole cards against the motherland?"
Walking down the hallway, he pondered.
As long as the top leaders of Walter are not stupid, they have created the motherland, a monster that is enough to destroy the world, and they must have the means to deal with the motherland in case.
"Clones of the Motherland? A more capable superhuman? Or something that restrains the superpowers that Compound Five inspires? ”
A few guesses flashed through Ron's mind.
Only by figuring out these can we find a way to control the behemoth of Vought.
"That Kimiko put it aside for the time being, there's an interesting thing happening on the other side of the ocean that can't be missed."
With a chuckle, he teleported his figure and disappeared in place.
……
"How?"
The phone picked up, and Edgar's calm voice rang from the other side.
"Sir, Ron agreed."
Madeleine reported from behind her desk.
"When you heard you say that the company is a bit cruel to outsiders, how does he behave?"
The point of this matter is not whether Ron agrees or not.
"I don't seem to care."
She thought about it for a moment and said.
There was some indifference, and the expression didn't even fluctuate much.
"Oh? That's good. ”
Although Walter has more than 200 superheroes, he doesn't want Ron to really have a childish and ridiculous personality like a superhero.
Ron was so close to the innocent little girl who had dreamed of superheroes since he was a child that he was a little worried.
"This also proves that once the time comes, Starlight may not be able to contain him."
"Yes."
Holding the phone, Madeleine nodded cautiously and reviewed again.
"It's just a girlfriend who can be changed when you say it's changed.
Yesterday I didn't think it through. ”
"Alright, that's it."
On the other end of the phone, interrupted her words and said slowly.
"I'll talk to the board of directors and when this is done, let him be a part of us."
Putting down the phone that had been hung up, Madeleine, who was in her forties, let out a sigh and picked up the work card on her desk with her vice president position and name and glanced at it, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.
Ron, who had only been with the company for a few days, was about to take the position above her.
……
Deep blue waters, 100 meters above the Atlantic Ocean.
Transatlantic Airlines plane flying from Paris to Chicago, hijacked by air robbers.
Four robbers take control of the entire plane, and the unarmed passengers become hostages.
"Shut up, I don't think anyone wants to get hurt, do they!"
Two of the robbers, armed with daggers, coldly warned the screaming and frightened passengers in the cabin.
"Stay in your seat."
As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse of the flight attendant who was trying to resist not far away, which was undoubtedly the best example.
Under the great danger, panic spread in the cabin, and the men, women and children on the plane trembled helplessly.
"Oh my God, who's going to save us!"
Whew!
Suddenly, the door of the plane was opened from the outside, the air pressure inside and outside the cabin was unbalanced, a strong suction force was generated, and a robber screamed and was sucked out directly.
A heroic and beautiful figure jumped in.
Another tall robber roared angrily and rushed up, only to be dealt with with with a crisp twist of his neck.
"Maeve, it's Queen Maeve.
She came to our rescue, thank goodness! ”
In the cabin, the hostages clung to their seats, and there was an excited cheer.
Whenever she saves people in danger, she is happy and satisfied when she sees others because they see her, their eyes burst out with the light of hope, and their faces show surprise.
"Okay, everybody, stay where you are, and you'll be fine in no time."
Maeve shook her hair, took a heroic stride, and walked towards the robbers guarding in front of the captain's room.
"Maybe you'll make it to the finish line on time."
When the robber saw Maeve, he raised his hands in fear, wanting to surrender, he knew how powerful Queen Maeve was.
But a ray of heat, mercilessly and precisely pierced through his chest, killing him.
The Motherland, with red eyes shining brightly, flew in, with a standard smile, and casually closed the door of the cabin.
"Sin is punished.
It's over, it's all right, everyone. ”
His appearance drew even greater cheers.
"Motherland! ……”
The hostages were even more relieved, they had all read the headlines of the major newspapers and news websites this morning, and had seen the power of the motherland like gods.
"Thank you, motherland, you saved us, you are a hero!"
