Chapter 369: Queen Maeve Dies! The Deep is Dumbfounded!
"Baruch, go notify everyone now and tell them to leave Vought Tower quickly, hurry!" Ashley Barrett was completely panicked at this moment. She quickly ran down the stairs, hurriedly stopping a Department Supervisor who had just exited the Elevator, and said in a hurried tone.
Looking at the Vice President before him, who had lost control of her expression, Department Supervisor Baruch immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. "Okay, I'll go notify them now."
"God, I hope things aren't too bad." Ashley Barrett, who rushed into the Elevator, holding her phone, forcefully pressed the button for the first floor. "Terrorist attack, this is definitely a terrorist attack."
Ashley Barrett, who had seen the video, knew very well how destructive Soldier Boy was. Once Soldier Boy attacked Vought Tower, the entire Building would likely collapse. At that time, it would cause an unprecedented media storm. All she could do now was have the employees evacuate as quickly as possible and stay away from the Building's location. As long as there were no casualties, then everything would still be within control.
Just as she walked out of the Elevator, Stan Edgar's voice rang out from her phone.
"What happened? Is the situation serious?"
"Very serious. I suspect Soldier Boy is about to attack Vought Tower, and The Seven are having internal strife. I can't control the situation at all." Ashley Barrett quickened her pace, walking towards the Building exit.
"Have the employees leave Vought Tower as quickly as possible. I will handle what happens next."
Stan Edgar on the other end of the phone, his face instantly darkened. After briefly explaining the situation, he hung up the phone. It was clear that a substantial and powerful individual was needed now to control the situation. Other than Mr. Jervis, he had no other choice.
…………
"If you have the guts, kill me." Queen Maeve's lips overflowed with blood, but her gaze was exceptionally resolute. She did not fear death. Ever since the Flight 37 incident occurred, death felt more like a release to her.
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
Homelander pursed his lips. Clear muscle lines were visible on his tensed jaw, like a tightened steel cable, each strand distinct.
"Then what are you waiting for? To put it bluntly, you're just a coward, a pathetic worm craving love." A trace of pity appeared in Queen Maeve's gaze. It was precisely this trace of pity that triggered Homelander's true killing intent. He grabbed Queen Maeve's head, approaching fiercely, and said: "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."
With one hand, he choked Queen Maeve's neck, and with the other, he grabbed her head. Then, like bending rebar, his arms erupted with immense strength. Finally, under Starlight's terrified gaze, Homelander first snapped Queen Maeve's cervical spine. Then, with a brutal expression, he yanked outwards. Instantly, a large amount of blood sprayed out. The wall, the ground, and Homelander's face were all covered in Queen Maeve's blood.
"Holy crap!" The Deep on the sofa, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he instantly felt the urge to pee.
"Next, it's your turn, Starlight." Homelander, like an executioner who had just finished a killing, turned around, carrying Queen Maeve's head, and looked at Starlight expressionlessly.
At this moment, a yellow taxi stopped in front of Vought Tower. The driver in the car looked like he had just been pulled out of water, his entire body was soaked with sweat. Through the car's rearview mirror, he peeked at Soldier Boy and Billy sitting in the back. For these two who frequently appeared on various news headlines, how could he not think that if he had known he would encounter these two troublemakers, he really should have stayed Home and not gone out.
"Looks like they already know you're going to attack here." Billy, who got out of the car, looking at the Vought employees scattering and fleeing not far away, said to Soldier Boy.
"Doesn't matter. I only care if Black Noir is inside."
Soldier Boy, carrying his shield, strode towards Vought Tower.
Boom! The driver didn't dare mention the fare at all. He slammed the accelerator to the floor, driving the taxi with the car door not yet closed tightly, and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
Not long after Billy and Soldier Boy walked into the Building, another taxi stopped at the spot where the previous taxi had been parked. Only this time, the ones who got out of the car were Hughie and the others. Meanwhile, with Starlight.
Facing Homelander's relentless advance, she defensively raised her hands. The lights above her head and in the surroundings began to flicker.
"This is the fate of those who betray me. Don't worry, you'll soon become like Queen Maeve." Homelander threw Queen Maeve's head at Starlight's feet. Starlight glanced at it from the corner of her eyes. Her stomach instantly churned, and she felt an uncontrollable urge to vomit. Fortunately, she managed to suppress it with her own will.
"You killed Queen Maeve. If the public finds out about this incident, you're finished."
Starlight spoke toughly, but her body was honest. Watching Homelander get closer and closer to her, she retreated step by step.
"Quite lively here, isn't it? What? You guys started fighting before I even got here?" Just then, Soldier Boy appeared at the entrance of the Meeting Room. His appearance attracted everyone's attention, including Homelander, who was about to kill Starlight.
"Interesting."
At some unknown point, Xia Shang, who had entered the Meeting Room, was now standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, in invisibility, smiling as he looked at everyone.
As if watching a good show that had just begun.
"Black Noir, long time no see." Soldier Boy looked towards Black Noir.
Black Noir, wearing a black full helmet, bent down and picked up the pen on the table, wrote a sentence on a white paper, and then showed it to Soldier Boy and the others.
"Bad guy."
Afterwards, he wrote another sentence and drew several horizontal lines across the word "Bad guy".
"Bad guy, must kill him."
"You mean he's completely rotten?" At first, seeing Soldier Boy appear before him, Homelander's expression was a bit unnatural. It wasn't until Black Noir made him laugh that he relaxed.
Black Noir nodded, without making a sound.
"Where's Ryan? Where did you hide him?" Compared to his own Father, Homelander cared more about his son Ryan. After the last Sea Surface explosion incident, he had already realized that Soldier Boy in front of him didn't see him as a son at all. After all, no Father would have the heart to kill his own son with a Superpower.
So Homelander didn't kill Black Noir like in the original plot. Instead, he deliberately left Black Noir to lure out Soldier Boy.
Billy, who had finished injecting the Temporary Compound V in the car, his eyes glowed with golden light, and suddenly attacked, delivering a punch to Soldier Boy's face. With a bang, Soldier Boy was directly sent flying. But his reaction was also extremely fast. He immediately raised his shield, blocking the Heat Vision shot by Billy.
What the hell? The Deep was truly dumbfounded this time. Was the world too absurd, or was there something wrong with his mind?
