American comics: From the black robe, friendship becomes stronger

Chapter 34: Invitation from Knight Tek

Blue Eagle chuckled, not feeling embarrassed at all. Instead, he seemed slightly proud. Not everyone can drive a tank, after all, and the female monster said she was very satisfied!
Seeing that Levi didn't want to talk any more, he quickly stopped Levi and said, "Wait, Levi, just like you said before, I deliberately showed racial discrimination against black people several times in public, and Knight Tek contacted me today."

"He invited me to visit his Tek Cave, and I told him what you taught me before, and now he wants to invite both of us!"

Levi couldn't help but cheer up: "Okay, brother, you did a good job!"

Tek Knight is a second-tier superhero. In Levi's opinion, he is a bit like a monkey version of Iron Man + Batman.

He himself did not gain much physical enhancement, but rather enhanced some abilities such as smell, perception, and touch.

By observing the target's heartbeat and breathing frequency, he can accurately determine whether the other party is lying or concealing something. In addition, his own intelligence is first-class among superheroes, which makes him a very qualified detective.

His Tek Cave is very similar to Batman's Bat Cave, and he also has a butler and assistant, so Levi thinks he is a monkey version of Batman.

His fighting ability is also not weak, because it is said that he once got a meteorite that fell from the sky by chance.

He successfully used some special materials from meteorites to create a set of high-tech armor - the Tek suit, equipped with weapons such as electric shock guns and flamethrowers, and can fly at high altitudes at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour.

Although the relevant information Levi found showed that his Tech suit was not equipped with any advanced AI system but was just an ordinary computer program, it could barely be considered a monkey version of Iron Man.

Since the main material of Tek's suit is a special material from a meteorite that fell from the sky and is completely impossible to replicate, and his family is very powerful and Walter also provided him with a certain degree of protection, the American officials gradually gave up after trying to ask for it but failed.

Levi wasn't too interested in the combat capabilities of his Tech Suit. According to the information he had read online, the Tech Suit had good straight-line speed, but poor flexibility, and had even been knocked down by a shoulder-fired RPG.

So since then, Knight Tek has sealed up and downplayed his battle suit, and most of the time he appears as a detective.

But this does not mean that the Tek suit has no value. Levi is very interested in the energy source of the Tek suit!

Although Starlight has made a request to Walter, he also needs to make multiple preparations.

It just so happens that Knight Tek, Levi and Blue Eagle all have one common characteristic, or hobby, which is discrimination against black people!

Compared with the latter two, Tek Knight can be said to be a family inheritance.

As early as eleven generations ago, his ancestors made a lot of money by arresting black people. To date, his family still owns the largest number of private prisons in the United States.

Moreover, the relevant industry has long been very mature, providing a one-stop service including arrest, detention and reform.

After the transformation is completed, the blacks are released and then caught back after a while to make money again.

Moreover, many prisons charge cell residence fees, which means that prisoners have to pay to stay in prison.

Many people are in debt after being in jail, so they have to go out and buy things for free, and then repeat the whole cycle above.

Add to that the secret trade in blood and internal organs that takes place in all prisons in the United States, and it's hard not to make money.

With money and history, Knight Tek's family naturally has many real big shots as friends.

According to Levi's speculation, the circle of friends of Knight Tek might control more than one-third of the GDP of the United States.

He may not be able to get someone to the presidency, but if he doesn't want someone to become president, the chances of success are undoubtedly very high.

If he could establish a good relationship with Knight Tek, it would be beneficial to Levi's future.

He is more than content to be the Protector of New Jersey, or one of the Vought Seven.

Only by becoming a shareholder of Water, or even the president, can it be considered a true class leap!

Just as Levi and Blue Eagle were discussing the specific day to visit the Tek Cave and whether to bring a few black people as gifts, Homelander was holding a meeting of the Seven in the Water Building.

No, since the Invisible Man was killed, there are currently six people in the group.

After criticizing everyone except Xuanse one by one, the motherland made a summary.

"Everyone, I already know the cause of the recent series of events. The enemy is already at the gates of the city, but you are still so lax. This really disappoints me."

With a wave of his hand, several photos were projected onto the big screen.

The leader is naturally the guy who has not been found out until now, who is swindling people under the banner of Water and calls himself the King of Cards.

Then there were the Butcher, Breastmilk, Frenchie and Hughie.

After the attack on the Children's Hospital yesterday, Homelander went to check the surveillance video himself. The guy who looked like a typical British man gave him a very familiar feeling. He was sure that this was definitely not the first time he had seen him.

After quickly mobilizing his memory, he recalled a meeting many years ago.

The other man's wife, Beijia, once had a wonderful night with him.

In his many recent public events, the other party has appeared from time to time, and each time he is full of anger and hatred.

He didn't care at all at that time, but now, out of man's intuition, he immediately realized that the other party was here for revenge.

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out yet. How many years had passed? What had this guy been doing?

Besides, it was his wife who offered herself to him in the first place, so why is he so obsessed with it?
He felt that there must be more hidden secrets behind this matter, but he just didn't understand it yet.

But this did not prevent him from taking out other information first. He had followed the clues and discovered some interesting things.

But the others were all confused. They didn’t know the owners of these photos at all, not even the locomotive was an exception.

Because he never took the incident of killing someone seriously from the beginning to the end, and naturally he would not specifically remember who the boyfriend of the deceased was. Every Water Super Hero has a death quota, okay?
It was not until Homelander said that they were the ones who killed the Invisible Man and coerced the Claw Girl, Ezekiel and many other superheroes that the locomotive and the others gradually realized the seriousness of the matter. But they still looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing the other party's motives for doing these things.

The organized and planned murder of Walt's superhero, what's the difference between this and suicide?
Only Xingguang vaguely sensed that this matter might be related to Levi who was investigating Compound No. 5.

However, after what happened yesterday, she has realized the secrets hidden in the Water Superheroes. This matter is too serious, and she dare not reveal any flaws in front of her people.

So she just asked in confusion: "But what is their motive?"

This time she wasn't pretending; she was genuinely confused.

"Good question!"

The Homelander was quite satisfied with the newcomer, Xingguang, mainly because she was stupid enough to actually have a dream of being a hero, and she also admired him very much and was very obedient.

He was just a little dissatisfied with his boyfriend Angel, who was in a relationship with Xingguang.

I've seen him a few times before at the Water Building. Although that guy seemed very polite and claimed to be a loyal fan of mine, his expression was also quite exaggerated.

But in fact, after seeing me, his heartbeat and breathing rate didn't change at all. It was obvious that he was a fake fan!

There was neither admiration nor fear, which made him temporarily unable to figure out the other party's background.

But that had nothing to do with what was happening at the moment. Homelander turned to the locomotive and said, "Locomotive, I'll leave it to you to explain!"

"I?"

The train head was completely confused. Indeed, those people had found the Demon Claw Girl's house and were obviously going after him.

But he still hadn't figured out how they knew that Compound No. 5 was related to him. He was just an errand boy!

The motherland laughed and said, "Hasn't your little head come to your senses yet?"

He stretched out his hand and said, "What about now?"

The next moment, as the photo of the engine and Hughie shaking hands appeared on the big screen, with Ashley and others as witnesses, the engine finally remembered.

Because this photo had been on Walter and his personal homepage for quite some time!
"Oh, shit, I know this guy!"

"You even smashed his girlfriend to pieces, you should remember it clearly."

At this moment, the motherland seemed a little proud. Every time he faced these guys, he had a pleasure of crushing them in terms of IQ.

The engine became more and more angry: "I remember that they went to the house of the claw woman before. This Huey has a lot of complaints about me!"

Seeing that Queen Maeve, Deep Sea and Starlight all had more serious expressions, Motherland nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, now we all know what to do. We need to catch these murderers and avenge the Invisible Man!"

"I'll be in charge of the butcher next."

"Xuan Se, continue to track down that French guy."

"Deep Sea, you go take care of the breast milk. Intelligence shows that he has a wife and a daughter. Well, a pretty happy family."

Shen Hai nodded quickly, indicating that he understood what would be done.

Previously, he had outsmarted himself and handed over the evidence that Transocean Flight 37 had been attacked by thermal vision to Madeline, which greatly angered Homelander. He must do everything he can to make up for it!
Then, without waiting for Homelander to continue, Locomotive and Starlight both raised their hands like elementary school students.

Homelander was a little surprised: "Xingguang, you speak first."

"I, I want to help too, no matter what task you give me!"

In fact, Xingguang initially wanted to say that she would be responsible for investigating the King of Cards, but she soon realized that it was too abrupt and would easily expose her true goal.

Although Homelander had always behaved politely, after the Invisible Man, Deep Sea and Locomotive had revealed their dark sides one after another, she was not sure whether Homelander was in a similar situation. It was possible that he just disguised himself better.

She didn't want to implicate the card king who might be Levi because of her careless words.

If he is really the king of cards, then he must have his reasons for doing so!

She had temporarily broken up with Li Wei yesterday because of her stupidity, and she didn't want the two of them to drift further apart. She would rather do less but definitely not make any mistakes!

Homelander was immediately more satisfied with Starlight's display of loyalty.

"Very good, then you go and investigate the matter of that Gambit King and find out where he came from and how dare he pretend to be a superhero from Vought. But our focus is on the four ordinary people who killed the Invisible Man."

This matter concerns Compound No. 5 and the things he was actually doing without telling Walter, so he didn't want to appear to take it too seriously.

Then the engine quickly followed and said that he would be responsible for Huey. The information just projected showed that Huey had a father.

Then everyone's attention was focused on Queen Maeve. Everyone else had tasks to do, so you couldn't be the only one slacking off, right?
Maeve thought about it, and finally looked at the starlight. Out of some female intuition, she felt that there was something a little abnormal about the starlight today, even though she had concealed it very well.

"Then I'll go help Starlight."

Homelander chuckled and nodded, "Very good, girls help girls, then let's all take action, I hope to hear good news from everyone soon!"
