Become Aquaman from Black Robe

But the accident really happened.

Kevin had just taken over Madeleine's job, and the next day he received a notice from Edgar asking him to meet with the CIA's deputy director, Susan Reiner.

I heard that Susan had some evidence that was quite unfavorable to the Walter Group and that Kevin needed to deal with it.

Kevin knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Probably because Butcher saw that Madeleine could no longer get any useful information, he chose to tell Susan some things.

Susan had a bargaining chip, so she planned to meet with the 'vice president' of Walter Group.

That’s why Edgar sent Kevin, the ‘acting vice president’, to negotiate with Susan.

This is another test for Kevin by Edgar. If this test can be successfully passed, there will no longer be any obstacles for Kevin to enter the management of Walter Group.

Kevin, who had been prepared for this for a long time, changed out of his hero uniform, put on a decent suit, and went to the CIA in person.

Then here, Kevin met Susan, the deputy director of the CIA.

A blond woman who looks to be in her late forties but still has her charm.

"It's really surprising. I didn't expect that it would be Abyss who is now managing the hero department of the Vought Group."

Upon meeting Susan, she expressed her surprise at meeting Kevin.

She had thought that the Vought Group would send difficult characters, but she never expected that the Vought Group would choose to let superhumans intervene in their work.

Since the establishment of the Walter Group, it seems that few superhumans have entered the group's senior ranks.

Including the Homelanders of the Sevens.

But thinking about some of the things Butcher had said to her, Susan felt strange again.

Facing Susan's sigh, Kevin responded calmly with a smile:

"I didn't expect that the first task I took over from Ms. Madeleine's job was to negotiate with the CIA. Ms. Reina, I wonder why you came to see me today?"

"Well, you are very direct, yes, I like direct people, so let's get to the point."

After the deputy director of the CIA finished speaking, he asked his subordinate to bring an envelope.

She opened the envelope in front of Kevin, took out a tube of blue potion, and placed it in front of Kevin.

Kevin pretended not to know:

"This is……?"

"Okay, Mr. Moskowitz, you should know better than me what this is. This is Compound No. 5, which is what gives you superhumans superpowers. You and Butcher have seen it together, haven't you? "

"I'm sorry, Ms. Renner." Kevin looked confused: "I don't know Butcher, and I have never seen such a thing. I think you may have made a mistake."

"Hmm? So you want to pretend to be stupid with us to the end? Okay."

Seeing that Kevin was not getting enough food and salt, Susan Renner leaned forward slightly and said to Kevin:

“If that’s the case, then I guess you won’t mind if we publish this thing in the newspapers and make it public.

"Human experiments, injecting illegal drugs into babies, guess how long you people will stay in prison in the end? Ten years? Twenty years? Or a hundred years?"

Susan asked softly, as if she was convinced of Kevin.

But Kevin didn't come here without any preparation. He looked at Susan with an innocent face:

"Wait a minute, Ms. Reina, I just took over the job of our Ms. Madeleine, and I really don't know anything about what you are talking about, such as human experiments, illegal injections... Isn't this a bit too serious? ?”

"If you don't know, go and ask the higher-ups for instructions! We don't have time to keep you in a war of words right now!"

Kevin's attitude made Susan a little angry.

Before that, Butcher had explained everything to her, including why he kidnapped Madeleine and the 'deal' with Deep Sea.

Susan understood that the man in front of her was the cause of everything.

Even Madeleine's death was planned by this man.

Just to be like now, sitting in Madeleine's position.

He carefully planned this kidnapping to replace Madeleine's position in the Walter Group, and suddenly changed from a transparent little member of the Seven to the president.

How could such a scheming guy be as ignorant as he said?

Susan can be sure that the deep sea definitely knows this, and knows it better than anyone else.

That's why she won't circle around the deep sea here, either agree to her request today, or make the things Susan knows now known to the public.

Watt Group has no other choice!

Taking the sample of compound No. 5 from Susan's hand, Kevin looked at it over and over for a while, and suddenly said:

"Okay, Ms. Reina, I will ask the superiors for instructions on this matter. Let's discuss the conditions now. You have found so much... non-existent 'evidence'. It's impossible just to reprimand us." Right?"

"Haha, it doesn't exist..."

Susan laughed angrily at Kevin's words. She took a while to calm down before continuing:

"Okay, let's talk about the conditions. Our conditions are very simple, that is, to revoke your piece of shit superhumans' bill to station in the Ministry of Defense! Our troops will never let any superhumans enter! Do you understand?"

Susan finally revealed her purpose.

She came here for this new bill proposed by the Vought Group, in order to prevent the superhumans from the Vought Group from getting involved in the government and the military.

In contrast, things against the Watt Group have to be pushed back, even if Butcher has told her all the evidence.

But even though she had stated the conditions, Susan was still prepared to argue with her opponent.

She has already seen that Deep Sea is not as 'single-minded' as shown on TV and in movies. His thoughts are actually deeper than anyone else's.

Faced with such a guy, Susan didn't think she could easily convince him.

That's what she originally thought.

However--

"Can."

"Even if you don't agree with...what?"

Susan thought the other person was saying no, but halfway through her words she realized that the other person seemed to have easily agreed to her conditions.

Even Shenhai was afraid that she didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again very considerately:

"I said yes. In fact, I also think it is too stupid for superhumans to enter the military. I will find a way to withdraw this proposal, Ms. Reina."

"..."

Shenhai decisively agreed to Susan's request, which made Susan feel as uncomfortable as a punch on cotton.

They had obviously made so many preparations and collected so much evidence, but in the end... the other party agreed to their conditions so easily.

This gap even made Susan feel a little unreal.

Since when has Walter Group been so easy to talk to?

"Do you have any other conditions? Ms. Renner?"

Susan didn't respond for a while, and Kevin waited for a while. Seeing that Susan didn't respond, he couldn't help but ask.

Susan finally came to her senses.

She stared at Kevin seriously for a long time, then took a deep breath and said:

"There is indeed one condition, but it was not raised by me, but by Butcher."

"Sorry, Ms. Renner, I don't know any Butcher."

"...Okay, you don't know her, so please investigate your Walter Group's former department support, Rebecca Butcher. We want to know if she is still alive. You should be able to do this, right?"

"I can only say my best. After all, I have never heard of this name before."

Kevin pretended to be stupid as usual, but Susan couldn't do anything about Kevin.

Because Kevin really just sat in this position, he really doesn't know anything, and he shouldn't know anything.

But anyway, her main goal had been achieved, and Susan was too lazy to continue nagging with Kevin.

"Do you know it's your business? These are the only two conditions we have. Once you sign this contract, you can leave."

Susan took out the prepared contract and motioned for Kevin to sign.

But Kevin didn't pick up the pen, he just looked at the contract and said:

"I will not sign the contract until I understand the specific content of the contract, Ms. Renner. This needs to be reviewed by our lawyer, and..."

When Kevin said this, he suddenly laughed:

"Although I promised you to withdraw the bill, if the Ministry of National Defense takes the initiative to propose this bill, it has nothing to do with us, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the Ministry of Defense..."

Before Susan finished speaking, a subordinate hurriedly walked up to Susan and said something in Susan's ear.

Susan's expression suddenly became ugly. She glanced at Kevin in disbelief, and then hurriedly left with her subordinates.

Kevin was not in a hurry, sitting here drinking coffee and waiting for Susan.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Susan came back with a look of reluctance and said to Kevin:

"you can go now……"

Kevin didn't ask her what happened. He stood up, straightened the wrinkles on his suit, and said with a smile:

"We had a pleasant conversation this time, Ms. Reina, and I look forward to our next meeting."

After saying that, Kevin ignored Susan's ugly expression as if she had eaten a cockroach, turned around and left.

Susan would let Kevin go without even mentioning any conditions afterwards, which seemed quite normal to Kevin.

There are many reasons for this.

On the one hand, all the previous things were caused by Madeline, and Kevin really didn't know anything. On the other hand... the "super criminal" plan of the motherland should already be in progress.

During this period, the people of the motherland and the locomotives transported No. 5 compound all over the world, especially to war-torn areas like the Middle East.

They specifically selected those terrorists and injected them with No. 5 compound in an attempt to cultivate super criminals.

Kimiko and her brother are two of the successful experiments.

In addition to Kimiko and her brother, there are many successful products like them.

These people would not be as peaceful as Kimiko, or if it weren't for Kevin, Kimiko would have been released long ago and treated as a super criminal.

Criminals with superpowers will appear soon, and it won't be long. It is precisely because Kevin is sure of this that he dares to agree to Susan's conditions.

After all, once super-powered criminals appear, the people who will be anxious are not the Vought Group but the people in Congress.

The Vought Group only needs to extricate itself from it to change from passive to active.

Just like now.

As soon as he came out of the CIA, Kevin took out his cell phone to report the situation to Edgar.

After listening to the entire negotiation process, Edgar suddenly asked:

"Have you guessed what the people of the motherland are doing?"

"It's not hard to guess, isn't it? After all, the people of the motherland love Madeleine so much. It's just a pity that everything he did for Madeleine has now come to my advantage."

"Very good, then there is one last question left. What are you going to do with Compound No. 5 that the CIA knows about?"

Edgar questions Kevin again.

Kevin, who had already thought of a solution, said without any hesitation:

"Boss, dead people can't talk."

"Oh? So what you mean is..."

"Madeline did all this, what does it have to do with us?"

Framing and throwing dirty water is something that the Watt Group often does.

Madeleine is dead, and she once held a high position, so pouring all the dirty water on the dead person is obviously the best choice.

Edgar must have thought of this method, or he probably had already figured out what to do from the moment Madeleine died.

Asking Kevin now is just a final test for him.

It is obvious that Kevin also passed the final test.

"Hehehe, you are right."

Edgar laughed heartily on the other side of the phone and changed the subject:

"I will personally go to your conference room tomorrow and be prepared to take over the position of vice president, Kevin."

At this point, the transfer of power in the hero management department of the Walter Group has been completed.
