Chapter 407: Deadpool Turns Over a New Leaf! The Second Superhero!
"Oh my God!" The blonde Female Reporter covered her mouth in shock. She hadn't expected her guess to be right; Homelander had indeed become a Superhero for Jie Er Company.
"Everyone, where did the applause go?"
Xia Shang smiled, looking at the crowd below who seemed petrified.
A few seconds later, a young man with freckles on his face in the crowd was the first to applaud. His gaze was fervent, and he raised his hands above his head, shouting excitedly: "Well deserved, Homelander is a well-deserved Superhero! He saved all of us!"
Xia Shang felt the young man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. Oh, it turned out to be the guy who used to work as a Security Guard at the Bank.
Immediately after, thunderous applause erupted from below the stage.
Under everyone's fervent gaze, Homelander calmly walked to the Podium. In an instant, applause erupted again.
At this moment, in the hearts of the public at the scene, Homelander was the image of the most perfect savior. When he used his Laser Eyes to kill those mercenaries, people seemed to see not a Mutant, but a true God who had walked out of a mythical story!
"God, could he be your incarnation on Earth?" A religious follower clasped his hands together in extreme excitement and looked at Homelander with a devout gaze.
Perhaps it was difficult for ordinary humans to understand the feelings of the religious follower at this moment. In his view, Homelander seemed to be the judge of evil from the Old Testament, who had descended upon the world.
"He shouldn't be called a Superhero. That's an insult to him. But it seems he, in his benevolence, doesn't care about such things."
After the applause subsided somewhat, Homelander took the microphone from Xia Shang's hand and said simply and clearly: "Superhero is not just a title, but a responsibility. Starting today, I will officially become a member of the superheroes."
His remarks were brief, but his voice was exceptionally powerful.
"Jie Er Company welcomes your arrival, Mr. Homelander." Xia Shang smiled and nodded, then shook hands with Homelander in front of the camera.
He didn't plan to mold Homelander into the same image as in The Boys. Instead, he felt that the concept of god among men was more suitable for the current Homelander.
*Clap clap clap!!*
Amidst the fervent applause, Xia Shang declared the opening ceremony a complete success.
…………
"Goddamn Wade! I'm going to kill you one day!"
Several days later, inside the Military Base embedded in the mountain, a man in military uniform with a ferocious expression was roaring angrily at The Providence Journal in his hand.
His face seemed to have turned a purplish-red, similar to a pig's liver, from anger, and bulging veins popped out on his neck.
Stryker swore that no one had ever made him this angry before, but Deadpool had managed it. That guy's character was worse than a prostitute's. Even using the word 'prostitute' to describe Deadpool was an insult to prostitutes, because at least prostitutes had a certain level of professional morality before pulling up their pants.
"F*ck you! Son of a b*tch..." Stryker spewed out a string of insults towards Deadpool's relatives like a machine gun.
The fundamental reason for Stryker's intense anger stemmed from a color photo in the newspaper.
In the photo, Deadpool was wearing a flashy red bodysuit, standing next to Xia Shang, and giving a thumbs-up to the camera.
Furthermore, the title above the photo read: "Deadpool Turns Over a New Leaf! Jie Er Company's Second Superhero!"
"Captain Stryker, Logan is looking for you." Pushing open the door, Fred walked into the Office.
"Tell him to wait, I still have things to deal with." Stryker suppressed the anger in his heart, his face turning ashen as he spoke.
No need to think, Logan was definitely looking for him about Victor. But the current Stryker wouldn't dare let Logan go to Washington to get revenge for Victor.
What if, like Deadpool, he goes and never comes back? After all, Logan, who had fused with Adamantium, was currently his strongest combat power.
"Alright, I'll go tell him now." Fede Li, noticing Stryker's mood was off, wisely turned and walked out of the Office.
Meanwhile, Logan, who had just finished fusing with Adamantium, was examining his brand-new metal claws.
"They look pretty good. I just don't know how powerful they are."
He tried to stab the claws into the wall. Before he even started exerting force, the extremely sharp tips sank into the concrete wall.
It was too smooth. Logan didn't seem to feel any resistance.
Then, he swung hard, instantly leaving three relatively deep claw marks on the wall surface.
"Incredible." Logan raised his hands and looked at the six claws extending from between the fingers. His expression became a little strange, as if he couldn't believe that his old companions, who had been with him for over a hundred years, could one day be reborn and become unbelievably strong.
*Clang!* When the claws collided with each other, they immediately emitted a crisp sound and sent dazzling sparks flying outwards.
Just then, Fred found Logan and said, "The Captain is busy at the moment and doesn't have time to see you. You should wait patiently."
"How long should I wait?" Logan retracted his claws and frowned.
"I'm not sure. He hasn't been in a very good mood lately. That guy Deadpool betrayed him." Fred shrugged, looking a little smug.
"When did that happen?"
Logan didn't seem surprised at all by Deadpool's betrayal. That guy was always unreliable. It was completely reasonable and expected for him to betray Stryker.
Besides, Deadpool joined Team X just to cure his cancer. Now that the cancer problem was basically solved, he naturally wouldn't stay in the squad any longer.
"Just this morning, he joined Jie Er Company and became a Superhero, just like Homelander."
"Superhero?" Logan felt that putting that word on Deadpool was not just quite jarring, but extremely abrupt.
"Yeah." Fred paused, lowering his voice. "As a friend, I have to warn you, Homelander isn't easy to deal with. In front of him, you're basically a sitting duck. He could easily cut you into pieces from the air with his Laser Eyes."
He knew Logan was determined to get revenge for Victor, but sometimes reality was that cruel. When a Mutant who couldn't fly faced another Mutant who could, the former was destined to be at a disadvantage.
"How would I know if he's easy to deal with without trying?" Six claws suddenly popped out from between the fingers on Logan's hands, and under the illumination of the light, they flowed with a silver-like luster.
"Suit yourself. Anyway, I'm quitting soon. A friend contacted me and wants me to go boxing. They say the pay is high, and the opponents are all rookies."
