Become Aquaman from Black Robe

The next day, on the 82nd floor of Watt Group.

In a temporary conference room where most of the group's top executives work, Kevin met Edgar who was working here wearing gold glasses.

"I thought you would get familiar with the work of [the woods] before you come to me again, Deep Sea."

When meeting Edgar, this was the first thing he said.

Kevin also understood immediately and asked:

"What happened in [the woods] was really arranged by you?"

"A little test."

Edgar said, pointing to the seat opposite and motioning for Kevin to sit down.

"test?"

"Yes, test."

"How is the result?"

Kevin didn't ask about the test, just the results.

Edgar smiled and replied:

"Quite satisfactory. Your abilities are quite unexpected. Almost most superhumans are no match for you, but..."

"But what?"

"Your handling method is a little gentle. Of course, this is not a big problem."

Edgar used the word 'mellow'.

Kevin thought about the process of handling it without making any rebuttal.

Perhaps from the group's perspective, Kevin's methods are indeed too gentle.

He didn't harm those superhumans too much, he just made them lose their ability to move.

If this matter were replaced by other superhumans, such as the people of the motherland, such as the storm, then it is almost certain that at least some superhumans among them will die in the [woods].

Kevin is a little softer on superhumans, which may be a shortcoming in the eyes of the group's senior management.

Kevin was still thinking, while Edgar skipped the topic of testing and asked:

"So now, what did you come to me to talk about?"

Finally getting down to business, Kevin took a deep breath and said:

"You seem to want me to be the captain of the seven-man team, but actually Mr. Edgar, I am not very interested in the position of captain."

"oh?"

Edgar raised his head after hearing this, met Kevin's eyes, and asked curiously:

"Joining the seven-man team and becoming the captain of the seven-man team is something that many people can only ask for. Why are you not interested?"

"Because I now understand that the Vought Group is not just an entertainment company. Superheroes and the entertainment industry are just side businesses for the group. Am I right? Mr. Edgar?"

From the perspective of a member of the Seven who had no idea what the Vought Group was doing before, it makes perfect sense that Kevin would say this now.

In the past, Kevin didn't know about Compound No. 5, the Woodland Organization, or the secret things of the Watt Group, so it was natural that he believed that the Seven-Man Team was everything to the Watt Group.

But now, Kevin knows more. Whether it’s Compound No. 5 or the institution that studies superhuman beings, the Forest, he knows everything clearly.

Therefore, it makes sense that Kevin feels there is no future in staying in the seven-man team.

But this didn't convince Edgar.

"Kevin, if I remember correctly, you like money?"

Edgar remained indifferent and said slowly:

"The seven-member team is the fastest way to make money. Performances, endorsements, program interviews... As long as you are famous, you can earn unexpected wealth."

"Normally this is true, but obviously... no matter how hard we try, we will never make as much money as you, Mr. Edgar."

Kevin finally revealed his purpose.

The smile on Edgar's face also faded slightly. He tilted his head and looked at Kevin carefully, and suddenly understood something.

"You want to join 'us'?"

"Can't you?"

"Hehehe, Kevin, you are very interesting. Over the years, you are still the first superhuman who wants to join us."

Edgar suddenly laughed out loud. He took off the glasses he was wearing at work just now, tapped Kevin with his finger and said.

But he neither said yes nor no.

After Edgar laughed, he said softly:

"To be honest, I'm a little interested in you, Mr. Kevin. If possible, I can't let you actually enter the management of Walter Group, but unfortunately, we don't have any vacancies at the moment."

"That means that if there is, I can enter?"

"certainly."

Edgar answered without hesitation, but then reminded Kevin:

"The premise is that there will really be a vacancy."

"I understand, thank you, Mr. Edgar."

After getting the answer he wanted from Edgar, Kevin thanked him seriously and prepared to leave.

But before leaving, Edgar stopped Kevin again:

"Kevin."

"Mr. Edgar?"

"I won't care about the experimental subject left at your place, but you have to remember not to let her come out to cause trouble, do you understand?"

Experimental product?

Edgar suddenly mentioned this, but Kevin luckily didn't react for a while.

It took him a moment to realize who Edgar was talking about.

Kimiko Miyashiro.

In the original work, the girl who was hunted down by Black in the early stages of the Walt Group and almost killed by Black was now, as expected, known to the senior management of the Walt Group.

But perhaps because of Kevin's existence, even if Edgar knew about Kimiko, he did not choose to send Black to take Kimiko away or kill him.

Edgar allowed Kimiko to stay with Kevin on the condition that Kevin be optimistic about Kimiko and not let her come out to cause trouble.

In other words, don't let her get involved in the Walter Group's affairs.

Otherwise Edgar wouldn't be here to remind Kevin.

Did he think he would let Kimiko take action to kill a senior executive of the group? Let Kimiko be used as a knife for me to kill people?

I would never do such a stupid thing...

Understanding what Edgar meant, Kevin thought in his mind.

After a moment, he nodded to Edgar to indicate that he understood, and then left the 82nd floor of the Walter Group.

Through the conversation with Edgar today, Kevin understood what the Walter Group CEO meant.

Superhumans joining the Vought Group is a relatively rare thing in the Vought Group, and probably no one has mentioned it before.

Even Storm, the wife of the founder of the Vought Group, seems unable to intervene in the decision to join the Vought Group and only acts as a superhero.

The request Kevin made today is not only unprecedented, it can also be said to be extremely special.

But Edgar doesn't seem to stop Kevin from doing so.

On the contrary, Edgar was very optimistic about Kevin and pointed out that "the position is vacant" as a condition for Kevin to rise to the top of the group.

But Kevin also knows that although Edgar has given conditions, Kevin can't really find a group executive to get rid of him and then take away his position.

Directly using violent means to eliminate competitors is probably the worst approach in Edgar's eyes.

If Kevin really wants to squeeze into the top management of the group, he needs to leave no evidence behind, and even get rid of the people he wants to get rid of without getting his hands dirty.

That is to say...

"Kill with a borrowed knife."

Kevin thought of this idiom in his mind, and in a flash he thought of someone who could be his 'knife'.

Thinking of this, Kevin took out his mobile phone and looked up a person's number.

That's Huey Campbell's number, okay?

It was the number the butcher left behind last time.

…

Billy the Butcher once again walked out of the CIA with a gloomy face.

This meeting with Susan, an old acquaintance, ended with the breakdown of negotiations between the two.

But this time is different from before.

Previously, Susan said that Butcher did not have enough evidence to prove that the Vought Group was manufacturing Compound No. 5, so Butcher and Huey took the risk to collect evidence.

But now the evidence is sufficient, and Susan has also expressed interest in this matter, but she refuses to ask Butcher to deal with the people of the motherland!

In fact, the conditions given by Susan were already very generous.

It was promised that the Black Robe Team would be given an operational base, a dedicated assistant unit, and intelligence provided to the Black Robe Team. Even travel and daily expenses would be reimbursed by the CIA.

Susan's only condition is that Butcher gives up dealing with the people of the motherland and concentrates on dealing with the Watt Group.

"It's just a load of shit!"

Butcher angrily hammered the wall beside him and cursed angrily.

Isn't it because he doesn't deal with the people of the motherland because he is afraid that the strongest superhuman at present will overturn the table?

But what has Bucher been targeting the Vought Group for? Isn’t it just to deal with the people of the motherland!

It was precisely because the people of the motherland had forced his wife to disappear without knowing whether she was alive or dead that Bucher was invited by Mallory, the former deputy director of the CIA, to become the 'black robe' against the Vought Group.

Now that the overthrow of the Vought Group is just around the corner, Susan is unwilling to accuse the people of her motherland.

It’s strange that Butcher can accept it!

"Okay, if you don't accept it, I have plenty of ways..."

After swearing angrily, Butcher took out his cell phone and was about to call someone.

But at the same moment he took out his cell phone, a call happened to come in, and it was Huey's call.

Huey would take the initiative to call, which was quite rare.

Butcher narrowed his eyes slightly and chose to answer without much hesitation.

"Hey, Butcher? I gotta tell you something."

"Huh? What happened? Did you mess around while I was away, or did you find some other evidence?"

Butcher asked casually, and Huey yelled:

"None of that! There aren't those things you said, okay!"

Then his voice became much lower and he explained:

"It's Deep Sea! He just called me and said he wanted to talk to us about something and wanted to meet us."

"What?"

Butcher was stunned, paused, and once again confirmed what Huey said.

After it was confirmed that he was not hallucinating, and that Deep Sea from Team Seven really called him to invite him to meet, the smile on Butcher's face gradually became wilder.

That old bitch Susan refuses to deal with the people of her motherland?

It doesn't matter. Now, aren't the helpers who can deal with the people of the motherland here?

Holding the phone tightly, Butcher took a deep breath and said to Huey on the other end of the phone:

"Tell Shenhai that I agreed to meet him, but I will decide the time and place of the meeting."

Although he decided to meet the deep sea, Butcher would not really leave his life safety to a super human.

He needs to be fully prepared for protection before he dares to face the deep sea, which has been in the spotlight recently.
