Chapter 43: Starlight

A few days later, Huey saw a news interview with Locomotive on television.

"Falk squid, she was three meters from the middle of the damn road and hadn't crossed the road at all." Seeing that the locomotive was talking nonsense there, Huey was so angry that it was his father Simon who persuaded him.

"Yes, they all know it, so they lost a lot of money to Luo Bin's family."

"It's like a traffic accident, and unless there's evidence that Highway Man was an intentional homicide, now is the best outcome."

Compared with the stunned Huey, his father Simon has obviously been sharpened by society.

But at this moment, Huey couldn't accept Simon's words at all, he looked at the locomotive on the TV screen, and there was a flame of revenge brewing in his eyes.

After that, Fast approached Huey and wanted to sign a non-disclosure agreement with him.

But Huey refused.

A week later, Walter held its annual general meeting as scheduled.

At the door of the Walter Building, where news media from all over the world and tens of thousands of superhero fans gathered, Xia Shang followed Ashley to welcome the upcoming new member of the Seven, Starlight, after explaining all his work.

For this appearance, Starlight custom-made a yellow-and-white robe with a cape.

The moment she stepped out of the car, the audience began to cheer!

"Welcome to New York!"

Starlight looked at everything around her, her eyes full of surprise and disbelief, she had succeeded! Successfully becoming one of the superheroes of the Group of Seven, you know, she was an ordinary girl in Des Moines, Iowa, Midland, and at this moment, she enjoyed the feeling of being in the limelight.

"I'm Ashley Barrett, Head of Talent & PR." Ashley stepped forward and shook Starlight's hand.

Listening to the cheers in her ears, Starlight had a dreamlike illusion, and the scene in front of her had only appeared in her dreams.

"Are all these people here for me?" Starlight whispered into Ashley's ear.

Without hesitation, Ashley smiled and asked, "Honey, who else are they here for?" ”

At this time, Xia Shang walked up to the two and said.

"I'm Xia Shang, the deputy head of the security department, and I'll take you and your mother to visit the Walter Building, and also prepare for the next appearance." Xia Shang was dressed in a black suit, with a height of more than one meter and eight meters, with a sturdy figure and good looks, giving people a sense of déjà vu of a thug in a suit.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Starlight smiled brightly.

Xia Shang took the two of them into the Walter Building, first walked around the first floor, and then took her to the venue of the Walter shareholders' meeting, many people at the venue greeted Xia Shang, Xia Shang smiled and responded one by one, he said to Starlight's mother: "This is your seat number, you sit and wait for a while, Starlight needs to go backstage to touch up her makeup." ”

After handing the card in his pocket to Starlight's mother.

Xia Shang walked towards the second floor with Starlight.

"Don't be too nervous, just think of it as your home." Xia Shang saw that Starlight was a little cramped, so he said with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm much better."

Starlight said with a deep breath and a smile.

"What is your impression of superheroes?" Xia Shang asked suddenly.

Starlight replied without thinking: "Very good, they eliminate evil and promote good every day, they are passionate about charity, and they are heroes in the hearts of the public." ”

Xia Shang stopped, turned around and smiled meaningfully.

"If I say that they are diametrically opposed to what you imagine, think about it, what happens when an ordinary person has abilities that are different from ordinary people, believe me, human nature is evil, and legal ethics is the only means to limit evil, but most superheroes are not limited to legal ethics."

"I don't understand what you mean." Starlight didn't understand Xia Shang's words at all.

After all, the environment in which she lived since she was a child had completely brainwashed her.

"It's okay if you don't understand, just by the way, in the Walter Group, the only people who can decide whether superheroes will stay are the members of the shareholders' meeting, as long as you can show your business value, you don't have to worry about being kicked out of the seven."

Xia Shang wanted to see if Starlight would make a compromise in the face of the threat of the deep sea after his words.

If Starlight still compromises, it only means that she is a mud that she can't support.

Starlight realizes that the other party is telling him some unspoken rules within the Walter Group.

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll treat you to a cup of coffee later."

"No problem, here's my business card." Xia Shang took out his business card and handed it to Starlight.

Walking to the make-up room, Xia Shang stopped, "Go in, look forward to your next stunning appearance." ”

"Thank you." Starlight nodded and walked into the tinkering room.

With the position of deputy director of the security department, Xia Shang sat in the second row of the venue, and the first row was basically the shareholders behind the Walter Group, as well as the vice president and president.

Sitting next to him was his boss, Erich Schak, the head of the Security Department.

When the lights dimmed and the only light hit the stage, the shareholders' meeting began!

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Shareholders' Meeting of Walter Group."

The host on the stage is none other than Madeleine, vice president of Walter.

"There is no doubt that there has never been a better time to join the superhero industry, and our net income has increased by 14%......"

At this time, Xia Shang in the audience was looking at the panel in front of him, and the fusion progress of the extreme control above jumped slightly, jumping from the original 99% to 100%.

"It's finally over." The corners of Xia Shang's mouth rose, and he saw that the surface of his hands that were staggered in front of his abdomen were covered with steel pieces like fish scales, but this anomaly was fleeting, and no one could notice it at all.

Soon, Madeleine's speech came to an end, and then it was time for the superhero seven to appear.

"Locomotives, including the Crown Jewels of Vought, the Deep Sea, the Invisible Man, the Darkcolors, and the world's most powerful superhero to date......

As the names are pronounced, a picture of each superhero appears on the big screen.

"I have a really great surprise for everyone." Madeleine's tone rose, "The members of the Super Seven and the Lord of the Seven Seas, come here in person, please go deep!" ”

Illuminated by the overhead beams, the deep sea shines brightly.

"Lord of the Seven Seas." Xia Shang showed a mocking smile, he even doubted now whether the deep sea's combat power was comparable to him after breaking away from the ocean, at least the deep sea's superpowers were not attractive to Xia Shang.

After the appearance of Deep Sea, he greeted the audience and hugged Madeleine.

He came to the microphone and thanked all the audience present: "Thank you, thank you for your support." ”
