American comics: From the black robe, friendship becomes stronger

Chapter 58 Locomotive OUT
Levi spent most of the day lighting up more illustrations, gaining 0.8 tons of strength enhancement, and obtained the ability he always wanted - flying - from a third-tier superhero.

That's right, he can fly in the air without any ignition or discharge of electricity.

Levitation or flight alone is not a particularly rare type among Vought superheroes, but they usually only have this one ability, which is not very useful.

This also shows how powerful Homelander is. Not only does he have many abilities, he also basically has no weaknesses. Each one of them is ridiculously strong.

Although Levi has acquired the ability to fly, his maximum speed is still far behind that of Locomotive or Homelander, which is only 500 kilometers per hour.

But this still brings him one step closer to becoming the angel in myth and legend.

In a good mood, he found a nearby restaurant and replenished some of the energy he had consumed.

His strength has been increasing recently, and theoretically his consumption has also increased, especially the super speed of the locomotive, which should make him a super glutton.

But in fact, his appetite has been decreasing, especially after he obtained Jin Tong's superpowers, the change is even more obvious.

The fundamental reason is that the various energies such as light, electricity and fire in his body have begun to form a small-scale circulation system.

If he continues at this rate, it won't be long before he can completely abandon his need for food from the outside world, and truly become self-sufficient as long as he gets more sun every day!

Moreover, through sunbathing, his strength has indeed increased slightly, which is not easy to be noticed, but it is real.

Although converted into specific numbers, even if he sunbathes for 10 hours a day, it may not necessarily increase his punching power by one pound, but in a sense, he can barely be regarded as a super monkey version, a pirated version of Superman.

This made Levi more eager for Stormfront's ability. If he could get it, the energy circulation in his body would be further improved. By then, both his strength and growth rate would definitely become stronger!
After eating and drinking, Levi strolled around the streets of New York for a few more laps.

After Watt's recent intensive publicity, many people have gradually become familiar with him and know that he is preparing to run for the Seven. They are not particularly surprised that he appears here in uniform.

There were also many people who came up to him and wanted to take photos with him.

They may not all be his fans, but even if they just use it to show off, it is still a good asset.

Levi also showed off a few of his skills casually, triggering a series of exclamations.

There are many ways to do publicity, and this kind of sudden little surprise can often have a relatively good effect.

It was a little lively for a while, and after taking more than twenty group photos, Levi found an excuse to get away from the crowd.

From the very beginning, he deliberately controlled this aspect so as not to appear too cheap.

After all, his goal was to join the Group of Seven in order to gain a higher status and position, not to make money from it.

After waiting for a deserted place and changing out of his uniform, Levi unexpectedly received a call from the train head.

The locomotive got straight to the point: "Hey, buddy, are you busy? Do you have time to have a few drinks with me?"

Levi was a little confused: "I do have time, but what about your injury?"

"It's a long story, how about we meet and talk about it later?"

"Okay, then give me an address and I'll be there right away."

Almost immediately after he hung up, messages from Starlight and Maeve arrived at the same time, saying the same thing.

Somehow, Locomotive was discharged from the hospital ahead of schedule. However, when he happily returned to the Water Tower, he received a very unfortunate news that he would be expelled from the Seven. The decision was made by Homelander, who found that Locomotive's heart had been overwhelmed. Before Locomotive was discharged from the hospital, he asked Ashley to arrange a retirement plan for Locomotive for about a year, so that he could make as much money as possible for Water.

In fact, Maeve had noticed something was wrong before. The locomotive had sweat all over his face several times, and occasionally he would hold his chest, looking very uncomfortable.

For top superheroes, sweating is not a common thing.

Before, she had only suspected it, but now it has been confirmed by the people of her motherland.

So Maeve suggested to Levi that he might as well give it a try, but he must be very, very cautious.

The locomotive's fear of its people was ingrained in its bones, just like her.

The difference is that the engine had never shown any will to resist before. Even if he was fired this time, he only dared to question Ashley, not Homelander.

At the same time, Locomotive also attaches great importance to money. He has long been accustomed to a luxurious life. Only by continuing to stay among the Seven can he get the life he wants.

Except for Edgar, the decision-making power of the Seven has always been in the hands of Madeline and Homelander, not her or Levi who is about to join the Seven.

So once Levi decides to try to win over the locomotive, he must not only find a way to keep the locomotive in the Seven, but also be on guard against the locomotive informing on Homelander!

When seeing this, Levi immediately knew that one of his little plans had to be brought forward.

However, the solution he came up with was quite different from Maeve's.

Isn't it just money that the locomotive wants? Just give it to him. There is no need to keep him in the Seven.

Coincidentally, Levi knew a super rich man - Tek Knight, who had so many ways to make money.

After Lokomotiv retires and the harsh contract between him and Watt is terminated, without having to pay the latter a high commission, Tech Knight can simply arrange a few endorsements for Lokomotiv, which may earn him more than what he has earned in the past ten years.

Moreover, Knight Tek has many prisons and hospitals under his command, so it is easy to find a suitable heart to replace the locomotive.

Indeed, it is difficult for an ordinary person's heart to adapt to the high-intensity life of a superhero. Perhaps within a few months, the locomotive will repeat its past mistakes and suffer a recurrence of heart disease.

But if we think about it from another perspective, wouldn't it be easier for us to control the locomotive?

The only problem now, and the biggest problem, is that the Tek Knights have serious racial discrimination.

Trying to get him to give money to a black man would probably be more painful than killing him.

But Levi believes that he can eventually convince Knight Tek that cold light laser eyes + super speed + holy light treatment may be able to permanently solve his brain tumor.

Also, the Tek Knights who like certain special ways of playing should also be very interested in taming first-line superheroes like Locomotive, right?

Or if worst comes to worst, you can let the locomotive guard the gate of Knight Tek's prison, become his accomplice, and help him deal with the blacks in the prison.

After replying to the messages one by one, Levi asked Maeve to help keep an eye on whether his position might be replaced by Stormfront once Locomotive retired.

If we let this old Nazi woman go into battle, there's a high chance she'll join forces with our countrymen, and that would make things even more difficult!
