American Comics: Multiverse of Madness - #483 - Chapter 481 Fear! !
“stop!”
Just when the people of the motherland were showing their murderous intentions and were about to say something “heartbreaking” to Xingguang, the door of the Super Seven conference room suddenly opened, and a low shout was heard.
Hearing this very familiar voice, the people of the motherland immediately knew the identity of the person who came in.
The palm of his hand was like an iron clamp on Xingguang’s neck. Although he did not let go, the red light gathering in the eyes of the motherland slowly weakened.
“Edgar”
Turning his head coldly, the motherland man ignored Xingguang’s efforts to break his hand and looked at the old black man who walked in with an unkind expression.
“Put down Starlight, she is not a spy arranged by the enemy.” Edgar was not intimidated by the expression of the motherland, he said calmly.
Hearing this, the strength of the motherland’s hand not only did not weaken, but also became stronger. He looked at this guy coldly. The motherland knew very well that it was he who destroyed Madeleine.
“Don’t look at me like that. Starlight joined the Super Seven with the consent of me and everyone on the board of directors. Before that, we have investigated all of her life. There is no chance that she is an enemy spy.”
After a pause, Edgar spoke again. “Of course, her current position is still open to question, but no matter what, this is not a reason for you to hurt your teammates.”
“I am eradicating this scourge for the Vought Group.” The motherland said solemnly.
“You were just trying to kill her to vent your anger.”
Edgar was still calm. He looked at the motherland calmly, as if he wanted to see through him.
“Walter is facing a powerful enemy now. I don’t have time to coddle you. What you are doing now is not to help Walter, but to help our enemy. Kill Starlight. You will really be alone now.”
His face kept changing, and the motherland man’s other hand that was hanging down trembled slightly. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his hand, and put down the starlight.
As soon as the force on her neck loosened, Xingguang fell to the ground and couldn’t get up for a long time. She breathed in air. This was the first time that Xingguang felt that death was so close to her.
Seeing that the motherland finally let go of the starlight, Edgar silently relaxed a little, and then he turned to look at the other person in the room.
“Boss” Ashley swallowed.
“go out.”
Edgar spoke.
Hearing this, Ashley suddenly felt like she was being amnesty. She held the information and mobile phone in her hands and ran out without saying a word, as if there was some terrifying existence chasing her behind her.
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Edgar slowly walked to the conference room table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
“I know what happened during this period has hit you hard. The same goes for the Watt Group. The things I have done these days are much more complicated than you.”
The motherland man didn’t answer. As if he was angry, he also took out a chair and sat down, but he didn’t sit next to Edgar. There was an empty chair between them.
“The enemy’s attack was more rapid and terrifying than we imagined. The exposure of Compound No. 5 and the experimental base overwhelmed us. What we didn’t expect the most was that the opponent even developed a more powerful individual.”
“You should have let me go with them then.” The motherland said coldly.
“This is just your personal thought.” Edgar shook his head slightly.
“We are still not sure what the other party’s specific strength is. If Maeve and the others can solve this matter, then the result will naturally be good. I will also have enough time to resolve the pressure from Congress. But if Maeve and the others can solve it, If not, then the problem is much more serious.”
After a pause, Edgar continued.
“You are Walter’s biggest trump card now, and also his biggest hope. I can’t knock you out at will. This is the most critical thing.
I studied the surveillance device on Black’s body. When Maeve and the others arrived, the Sage Grove had been destroyed. This meant that they had gotten what they wanted. The data inside had naturally been exposed and could be exposed to the media at any time. burst out.
In this case, since the other party chooses to stay and provoke us, it proves that he must be confident enough to fight you. “
Glancing at Xingguang, who was still lying on the ground, Edgar said softly. “Although that person didn’t attack Xingguang, I have reason to believe that he should have similar abilities to Xingguang and be more powerful than her.”
The motherland man blinked rapidly. Although his expression was still very determined, anyone could see that he was a little panicked now.
In fact, when Ashley was telling the story of the failure of the other members of the Super Seven, the motherland man’s heart was very uneasy, or in other words, for the first time, he had a fear of the unknown.
Faster than a locomotive, more powerful than Maeve, and more flexible than Black, that man almost defeated them in every area where they excelled.
Since he was young, the people of the motherland have been called the most powerful and invincible beings in the world. He was praised by everyone, and slowly, even he himself began to believe this.
And now, when he thought about someone who could crush him in his best field, a fear from the deepest part of his heart kept coming up, and it was out of control.
At the thought of someone being more powerful than him in all aspects, the body of the motherland began to tremble slightly, and his nose even felt a little sore.
What he was thinking about at this time was not that he would be killed by the other party, but that everything about him would be taken away by the other party. He would no longer be the most powerful being in the world, and he would no longer be a member of the people. The object of adoration.
Every time he thought about this, he felt a sense of depression and suffocation.
It seemed that something was wrong with the current state of the motherland, but Edgar did not choose to comfort him. Instead, he took out a tablet from his arms and placed it in front of the motherland.
Upon noticing Edgar’s actions, a flash of doubt flashed across the motherland’s brows, but this also allowed him to shift his attention from the complicated emotions to the screen of the tablet.
With a finger click on the screen, the video on the tablet was projected onto the big screen in the conference room, and then started playing.
The screen lights up. It should be a surveillance camera. Judging from the nearby decoration, it should be a mansion.
“That was the home of an old friend of mine who had worked with Walt frequently over the last century on movies and promotions for our superhero cause.”
Edgar looked at the scene on the screen and introduced softly.
The motherland man did not respond. He knew that the key point had not appeared yet, so he stared at the picture on the screen closely, for fear that he would miss something.
Soon, the scene on the big screen changed, and a group of people appeared on the screen. They were talking and moving forward without paying any attention to the surveillance around them, or in other words, they did it on purpose.
The leading man was very muscular. He wore an old-style battle suit and held an eagle shield made of special metal. His whole person exuded a different aura.
Looking at this man, the eyes of the people of the motherland instantly straightened.
“Soldier boy?!”
A chill climbed up the back of the motherland, making his whole body feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
“You grew up watching his movies, and you know every one of his experiences very well, and this is one of the biggest challenges we have faced so far.”
When he saw this video again, Edgar’s face was a little ugly. After all, the plan to eliminate the soldier boy had a lot to do with him. At that time, he thought that the other party should be dead.
Now I didn’t expect that those idiots didn’t kill the soldier boy, and now they let him run out. This time, Edgar was completely panicked.
He doesn’t care about the success or failure of the Walter Group. Anyway, he has already earned enough money over the years. Even if the Walter Group cannot survive this disaster, it doesn’t matter to him, Edgar. He can retire at any time and live a peaceful life. day.
But at this time, the appearance of Soldier Boy completely broke his plan. Edgar knew very well that with the character of Soldier Boy, the first thing he did when he came out was to take revenge on the people back then.
Crimson Countess, Black, Bomb Twin, and Psychic Storm, all of them are on his must-kill list, and above this, his own name is also destined to be on his list.
Even if Soldier Boy doesn’t figure it out at first, he’ll know it all one day, and with his methods, a little torture will make his old teammates spit it all out.
By that time, Edgar himself was constantly being hunted, and he was being hunted by the previous greatest superhero in the world.
This was something Edgar couldn’t accept, so he raised his head and spoke.
“I have reason to believe that the soldier boy is with the people who caused us trouble. At the same time, his return will definitely have a huge impact on your status.”
There was no need for Edgar to remind him. The people of the motherland had already thought of this. The chill he felt was not the fear of the soldier boy’s combat power, but the fear of his almost ‘legendary’ status.
Before the Super Seven he led took over from Blood Debt and became the most powerful group of heroes in the world, Soldier Boy was a legend in the world. His name back then was even louder than that of his motherland now.
Even after the Vought Group announced his death, after so many years, Soldier Boy’s popularity has not diminished much, and has even increased, with people who admire him covering almost all of the United States.
The people of the motherland cannot imagine what kind of lost dog the soldier boy will become once he returns.
In less than half an hour, the people of the motherland experienced a double psychological blow. First, a powerful existence appeared out of nowhere, and now there was a soldier boy who could take away all his reputation.
This made the people of the motherland numb.
on the big screen.
After noticing the surveillance, the soldier boy smiled slightly, walked forward slowly, raised his hand and gave the camera a middle finger.
Staring at this scene in a daze, the people of the motherland could no longer sit still.
“We can’t let this matter get publicized. I want to kill him before he appears in front of the people!”
