Chapter 366: Power is Even Less Than Nothing Before Absolute Force!
After a long while, Cate wiped away the bloody tears from the corners of her eyes and promised Golden Boy, "I will definitely help you rescue Sam. I know the exact location of the Underground Laboratory."
"I'll go with you," Anderson said, genuinely happy for their reconciliation. However, for some reason, he felt empty inside, as if he had lost something.
"Without Mr. Jervis's permission, we can't rescue Sam." Golden Boy shook his head. Having witnessed the other party's strength, he had no intention of confronting Mr. Jervis.
"What do you mean?"
Anderson looked at Xia Shang in confusion.
At this point, there was no need to keep hiding. They were just a few students, completely under his control. Xia Shang immediately ordered Cate to restore the memories of Anderson and the others.
"Do as Mr. Jervis says," Golden Boy said, nodding gently to the hesitant Cate.
"When were our memories modified?"
Emma Meyer frowned, looking puzzled.
Subsequently, Cate followed Xia Shang's request, walking up to them one by one, raising her right hand, and pressing it against their temples.
The moment their memories were restored, Marie Moreau and the others looked at Xia Shang as if facing a formidable enemy. Their bodies tensed, and they instinctively extended their arms, as if ready to unleash their Superpowers at any moment.
"Don't be nervous. You're all too weak. Logically, I should have had Cate modify your memories, but I didn't think it was necessary. Of course, if any of you are foolish enough to cause trouble, I will make them vanish from this world." Before leaving, Xia Shang looked at Cate and Golden Boy. "You two, come with me."

"So this guy is the hidden big boss. He won't do anything to Cate and Golden Boy, right?" Emma Meyer exclaimed, watching Xia Shang's retreating figure.
"Probably not," Anderson mused for a moment before continuing, "Since he chose to restore our memories and Golden Boy's, it shows he's different from Shetty. At least he doesn't intend to hide the truth from us, and he has sufficient confidence in his own strength. Simply put, he doesn't take us seriously."
"Contentment brings happiness. This outcome is quite good."
Emma Meyer leaned closer to Marie Moreau and whispered, "With the Vice Principal's relationship, getting into the School of Crimefighting should be a matter of minutes for you."
Marie Moreau forced a smile. To be honest, she felt a bit repulsed by that Underground Laboratory because the human experiments conducted there were simply inhumane.
"Emma, I remember your Superpower allows you to shrink your body... Forget it, the risk is too great." Marie Moreau had originally wanted Emma Meyer to use her Superpower to follow and see what was happening, but halfway through speaking, she felt she shouldn't let Emma Meyer bear the risk alone. "Let's just end things here. Or Anderson, you could go ask Cate what Vice Principal Jervis really intends to do."
Meanwhile, Cate and Golden Boy followed behind Xia Shang into the Vice Principal's Office.
"This is the list of the Vought Board of Directors. You will find them according to the names on the list and have them transfer all the Vought shares in their hands to Stan Edgar." Xia Shang pulled open a drawer and took out a list of personnel prepared in advance. Originally, this list was for himself, but now that he had a more suitable Candidate, such a small matter naturally didn't require him to handle it personally.
Cate took the list, worried, "I'm just a student at Godolkin University. How can I get close to them?"
"Go find The Deep. He will help you."
"Understood." Cate took the list and turned to leave the Office.
Next, in front of Golden Boy, Xia Shang dialed Stan Edgar's phone.
Soon, Stan Edgar's voice came through the phone.
"This is Stan Edgar. Do you need something?"
"I've prepared a generous gift for you. Within half a month at most, Vought International will be completely under your name. Of course, don't forget what I told you before. If you can't do it, I can find someone to replace you at any time," Xia Shang said calmly.
Golden Boy, standing nearby, was shocked by Mr. Jervis's attitude towards Stan Edgar, feeling that the relationship between the two had completely reversed. Compared to Stan Edgar, the former President of Vought, Mr. Jervis's demeanor was more like that of a leader.
"You plan to threaten them to make them hand over their Vought shares? Unfortunately, this means of yours can only deal with ordinary people. They are a group of people who value wealth as much as their lives. Even if you kidnap their entire families and use their family members' lives as a threat, they will absolutely not hand over their shares. Once wealth accumulates to a certain level, it makes people lose their human nature."
In a villa in the New York Rich District, Stan Edgar stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, his expression indifferent.
"Furthermore, if Vought International is compared to a large tree, they are the roots deeply buried Underground, absorbing nutrients. Without their interpersonal relationships and social status, even if Vought International appears lush and thriving on the surface, it will become vulnerable and even collapse with a crash."
Xia Shang was well aware of the meaning behind Stan Edgar's words.
"Cate's Superpower is far more useful than you imagine. Don't worry, even if they lose their shares, they will still obediently work for Vought International," Xia Shang said with a smile.
"Shetty once mentioned Cate's Superpower to me, but her Superpower isn't perfect."
Stan Edgar frowned slightly. "Although Cate can modify their cognition, the influence of the people around them will cause them to regain their memory. At that time, the situation might become very ugly."
"Wealth is insignificant before power, and power is even less than nothing before absolute force. The die is cast. They either choose death or silently swallow the bitter fruit. Besides that, they have no other choice."
Xia Shang's assertiveness was fully displayed at this moment. As the strongest Supe in this world, he no longer needed to fear anything or anyone, not even the USA Government. Now, without resorting to Dragon Transformation Form, the strongest nuclear weapon known to humans couldn't do anything to him, because the speed of nuclear weapons is too slow, so slow that he could sip coffee while transferring to another city.
"Perhaps you are right," Stan Edgar fell silent.
The easily controllable Homelander had made him completely lose his vigilance towards force, until the appearance of Mr. Jervis made him realize that absolute force truly transcends power.
Putting down the mobile phone, Stan Edgar said softly, "I should have understood long ago. Mr. Jervis is a nuclear weapon that doesn't belong to any Nation or any force. His appearance represents absolute force."
Xia Shang hung up the phone, then took Golden Boy and walked towards the location of the Underground Laboratory.
