American comics: From the black robe, friendship becomes stronger

Chapter 43: Encounter in the Elevator

Stan Edgar, Vought's president and the ultimate person in charge of all Vought superhero operations.

Since such a BOSS-level figure took the initiative to call and invite him, Levi naturally had to give him face.

After a little time, Levi arrived at the Water Building and prepared to take the elevator to the 99th floor.

There were clearly a bunch of people queuing at the elevator door, but when they saw Levi, they all gave up their seats and no one tried to ride with Levi.

Levi, who encountered this situation for the first time, couldn't help but marvel at how well Walter trained these employees.

Or maybe, a native of the motherland?

Just as the elevator door was about to close, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Wait!"

In less than a breath, accompanied by a gust of wind, a beautiful woman dressed as an Amazon warrior, who looked quite heroic, ran in.

Levi immediately took the initiative to smile and greeted, "Hi, Queen Maeve."

Starlight had previously given the two of them a formal introduction. As the one whose combat power was second only to Homelander among the Seven, Maeve did have several things that Levi was very interested in.

What’s more crucial is that, in the eyes of his system, these things do not seem to involve any special superpowers, so it doesn’t take long to copy them!

Codename: Queen Maeve

Type: Power
Special Ability 1: Super strength, can exert a maximum force of 20-65 tons, affected by physical constitution and other related factors, can be completely replicated, and is expected to require continuous contact for 13 minutes.

Special Ability 2: Super strong defense, can ignore conventional truck collisions, explosions of ordinary bombs, and has strong resistance to energy attacks, etc., can be fully copied, and is expected to require continuous contact for 11 minutes.

Special Ability 3: Super agility, which allows you to overcome gravity in a short period of time by running quickly, and then run on walls.

It also possesses superior jumping ability, balance, reaction ability, perception, body coordination, etc., which can be completely replicated and is expected to require continuous contact for 10 minutes.

Special Ability 4: Martial Arts Master - Queen Maeve, is proficient in the use of almost all conventional cold weapons and fist and foot fighting, and is particularly good at throwing and swordsmanship. It can be completely copied and is expected to require continuous contact for 12 minutes.

Special Ability 5: Drunkenness and Rage. It greatly increases the upper limit of alcohol consumption and makes it harder to get drunk. However, when really drunk, it is possible to enter a state of rage, temporarily increasing strength at the cost of reduced thinking ability and physical coordination. It can be fully replicated and is expected to require continuous contact for 1 minute.

Special Ability 6: Abstinence from Alcohol. Through long-term abstinence from alcohol and continuous training, special powers are accumulated continuously. When actively activated, strength and explosive power can be improved in a short period of time.

The longer the duration of the Drunken Commandment, the greater the improvement. The longer the duration, the maximum increase in strength is 50 tons. If it is interrupted or actively activated, accumulation needs to be restarted. It can be fully replicated, and it is estimated that continuous contact is required for 3 minutes.

Special Ability 7: Intermediate riding skills, can be fully replicated, and is expected to require continuous contact for 3 seconds.

It only takes about half an hour to master all these abilities. Levi feels that if he can find a chance to have sex with her, there will be more than enough time!
However, even such a Queen Maeve was still wary of Homelander. It is conceivable how terrifying Homelander's true power is.

According to what Vought boasted to the outside world, Homelander can ignore all attacks in modern society, including nuclear bombs.

Although it was exaggerated, Levi felt that when Homelander swung his arms, there should still be several hundred tons of force.

Maeve smiled and said, "Hi, Levi, just call me Maggie. Are you here to see Starlight again?"

She still had a very good impression of Levi, not just because Starlight Annie said a lot of good things in her ear.

Moreover, through repeated observations, she was basically certain that Levi and Annie were somewhat similar. They both seemed to still have fantasies about the special identity of superheroes and were willing to work hard for it.

This is so rare among all the superheroes with corrupt morals that it reminded her of her past.

Now she can no longer become a true hero, but she is very pleased to see such a special pair appear.

It is for this reason that she is willing to take care of Xingguang in many aspects.

Besides that, she was a little curious.

When she was chatting with Annie privately before, she had heard Annie say that Levi seemed to be very strong in that aspect, so strong that even Annie, who was also a superhero, could not bear it. Annie was almost drunk like a puff.

She really couldn't imagine that women could lose to men in this regard?

When she was with Homelander, she didn't feel that there was anything she couldn't bear? Is Levi stronger than Homelander?

If Levi could hear what Maeve was thinking at this moment, he might tell her with a smile that this was a special way for him to use his superpowers.

Since he can heal wounds by stimulating cell proliferation, he can also use it to greatly increase the regeneration and maturation speed of male tadpoles to ensure that he never misses a shot!
The consequence is that these tadpoles will enter a state similar to overload, making it impossible for women to become pregnant.

For Levi, this is not a negative effect at all.

With the system, he could fully foresee that he would have close contact with many beautiful and powerful women in the future, and he didn't want to get all of them pregnant. Levi chuckled and shook his head: "Maggie, you guessed wrong this time."

Queen Maeve's real name is Margaret Maggie Shaw, but generally in Water, everyone just calls her Queen Maeve. There are only a few people who are qualified to call her Maggie.

As for Margaret, I'm sorry, there is no one so far, not even a native.

So at this moment, Levi felt somewhat flattered.

While smiling, Levi gestured to the other party to look at the elevator buttons.

Following his gaze, Maeve was stunned: "Mr. Edgar is looking for you? Why?"

Then she immediately realized her mistake: "Oh, Levi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

Edgar has been a hands-off boss for many years. He usually doesn't care about Chaoying's affairs. He even sees his fellow countrymen only a few times a year.

I heard that Edgar had wanted to hand over Walter completely to Madeline and then announce his retirement. However, Madeline's accidental murder disrupted his plan.

But no matter what, Edgar personally summoned Levi in ​​private now, it must be a very important or confidential matter, perhaps it is related to the new candidate of Water's Seven?
Although Water had previously announced that he would conduct fair, just and open selection among all superheroes across the United States.

But in fact, those who understand know that it is just fooling fools. If Edgar is determined to make Levi one of the Seven, other people's suggestions are not important at all.

"It's all right, Maggie. If it were you, I'd tell you everything."

"I heard there's a new restaurant nearby. Are you free tonight?"

Maeve was stunned again. She was certainly not stupid enough not to understand the other party's subtext, especially when Levi still looked affectionate at this moment.

While feeling a little proud of her own charisma, she also felt a kind of forbidden pleasure like having an affair, but Maeve refused decisively. She didn't want to betray the sister she had just met.

"No, I think you should take Annie with you."

"Is that so? What a pity. As for Annie..."

Levi deliberately sighed heavily, his face full of confusion and indescribable expression.

This immediately made Maeve curious: "What's wrong with your relationship?"

Since the place they were going to was eighty or ninety stories high, they had plenty of time to chat.

Li Wei immediately complained: "To be honest, she is too naive in many aspects, even naive to the point of being stupid."

"And we weren't really a couple. I never confessed my feelings to her. I thought it was just our hormones that night."

Then he changed the subject and looked at the other person with burning eyes: “And compared to little girls like her, I prefer mature women like you, Maggie.”

If you just look at her appearance, Maeve is just an ordinary beauty, but if you take into account her identity and many superpowers, her attraction to Levi instantly increases.

And this is indeed what he really thinks, and Firecrackers and Blue Eagle can both testify for him.

Faced with Levi's sincere confession and the stimulation of the taboo, Maeve was suddenly shaken.

She once had a girlfriend, but later broke up with her due to threats from her countrymen. She never looked for a partner after that, but only occasionally found a few muscular fitness trainers to play with.

But the gap between an ordinary person and her as a top superhero is too obvious, and she was never able to enjoy herself to her heart's content.

But the other person is someone who can't even bear the starlight, which is really attractive to her.

But after a brief hesitation, she decided to refuse.

She had basically no friends before, and now she had just become friends with Xingguang. She didn't want to do such a thing behind his back, even though Levi claimed that they were not a couple.

But before she could open her mouth to refuse, Levi, who had already anticipated her reaction, immediately continued to speak.

"Besides, I can also tell you about my conversation with Edgar later. We are not talking about anything related to the Seven. Aren't you curious?"

Maeve was immediately shaken again. It was about Edgar, and she was indeed very curious.

She lowered her head and thought carefully for a few seconds before she nodded slightly: "Okay, since you are so enthusiastic, then I agree, but let me make it clear first, we are just having a simple meal, and I don't want to be misunderstood by Xingguang."

Levi readily agreed: "Of course, just eating!"
