At night, a special cordon was set up outside the ruins of the villa.

At the entrance of the original villa, there was a row of dead superhumans, all of them covered with white cloth, without a trace of life.

Walking through this open-air "morgue", Xingguang watched a seriously injured superhuman being get into the ambulance, then came to MM's side with a sigh.

"let's start."

There was an inexplicable light flashing in Xingguang's eyes.

"Now Butcher and the others have left. Coincidentally, I am the only superhuman present... For some reason, the locomotive was also sent to the hospital."

"Annie, listen, this isn't a good idea."

MM hugged her chest with a serious look on her face.

"The Homelander helped me become America's sweetheart, and he's going to regret it."

Xingguang took a deep breath, opened the live broadcast room on her mobile phone, and then handed the phone to MM, with tears glistening in her eyes.

MM had no choice but to grab her phone and point it at Annie.

"Are you ready?"

Xingguang calmed down and started talking to the camera.

"I'm in Montpelier, Vermont right now and 12 superheroes and civilians are dead and many more are injured."

"Homelander and Vought will tell everyone that this was done by a super villain and they have already solved the problem."

“They didn’t.”

Having said that, Xingguang continued to organize his words.

"This is Soldier Boy's doing... I know this sounds like bullshit, but Soldier Boy doesn't care about protecting Americans, and he probably never has."

"It's fair to say that most superheroes don't care about you at all, they only care about their own image."

"And Homelander... is the worst of them all."

These words were like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar on the Internet. Netizens discussed it in the comment section, and various expressions of fear kept flooding the screen.

"He's hurt a lot of people, he's done something to Queen Maeve, and I don't know what they're going to do to me if I tell the truth, but I'm going to keep going."

"I should have exposed them sooner. I'm sorry."

"And one more thing, I'm not Starlight anymore, my name is Annie Newaire and I quit the fucking business."

Five days later.

"Vote News Network Special Report: A Nation Betrayed"

"Starlight Live: It's been five days and there's nothing but Walter's lies. Soldier Boy has not been caught and Queen Maeve is still missing."

On the big screen of Water News Live, the recording of Xingguang’s speeches in the live broadcast room in the past few days was played.

"We repeat again, Maeve is in rehab, the Soldier Boy thing is complete and utter bullshit, he died in 1984, Starlight is just trying to incite panic."

Ashley, who is in charge of the public relations for the seven-member team, sat in the live broadcast room. She looked very imposing on the surface, but she was doing public relations with a guilty conscience on the inside.

"Does this count as betraying the Federation?"

"I also want to know."

"Is Starlight just hysterical?"

"Another woman expressing resentment after being abandoned by her own country?"

"That's right..."

On this side, Ashley was doing public relations, and on the other side, in order to maintain her support rate, her motherland was also giving speeches all over the country, trying to distance herself from this matter.

As the captain, Jonathan and his girlfriend Kate also finished their speeches and returned to the seven-man tower to help Watt stabilize the public opinion situation.

It is worth mentioning that Jonathan also brought Hughie to his office and asked him to learn to help him.

"Boss, since you knew something was going to happen at the River Crab Club, why didn't you go down and help in person?"

Huey asked curiously while operating the computer. On the screen was a reporter from a newspaper who had been integrated into Hydra.

"In fact, it would be useless for me to go. My countryman can fly. Do you think I can catch up with him with my ability?"

Jonathan held the black coffee that Kate had brewed herself in his hand and blew gently.

Having said that, in fact, Jonathan is not afraid of the strength of Homelander. His biggest goal now is to take over Water Company. If he rashly goes to war with Homelander, then Water will only be treated as cannon fodder.

Instead of letting Hydra, a newly established company, start from scratch, it is better to embrace the whole package directly. Jonathan calls this "catch everything in one fell swoop."

So, Jonathan let the plot develop on its own, into a state where it could be controlled and not go off track.

Not only that, Walter is now in a public relations crisis. As the future owner, Jonathan must of course make good use of the newly recruited Hydra reporters to write news and control the group's public opinion... but this does not include Homelander.

You know, to really master Walter, you need to deal with two people.

The first is the current group executive chairman, Stan Edgar.

This Jonathan doesn't have to worry, because his good eldest son Newman will soon backstab him. In order to cooperate and become president, she turned Walter into the one-man show of Homelander.

The second one is our sunny boy Zubao.

He grew up in Water and has long regarded the Water industry as his own exclusive property. Therefore, if there is anything that threatens his status, he will do whatever it takes to get it "back on track."

Jonathan's intention for not controlling the public opinion of his fellow countrymen is very clear. He just wants to watch his fellow countrymen slowly lose the things they care about, and then break down.

At that time, he will definitely bring his Teddy to fight back against Jonathan, just like when Homelander sent terrorists injected with Temporary Compound No. 5 to attack him.

When it really came to this, Jonathan had a legitimate reason to fight back, and finally defeated Homelander with full justification and took over the Vought Group.

Now, we just have to wait for the big fat fish, A-Zu, to slowly take the bait and see when he will take the bait.

On the other side, at the home of Legend, the former vice president of Water.

Butcher walked out of the room somewhat helplessly and said to the legend who was watching TV:

"Old ghost, the old soldier said there is no lubricant."

"Oh... the visitors are annoying. I was annoyed from the beginning."

"Why, Old Ghost, isn't he the most popular superhero of your time? You two have known each other for so many years..."

"Remember the news about the Normandy landings? Actually, two weeks after the Normandy landings, the propaganda was just a photo shoot. He didn't even go to Germany."

"Spraying water with a fire hose in Birmingham, shooting practice at Kent State, there was even a rumor that he gave JFK a head massage... they called it a good time."

"Old ghost, it seems that you, Walter, have always been so shady in doing things..."

"The problem is, Americans need hero worship, so what do we do about it?"

"I could only hide my dirty side and create a mythical soldier boy for myself. Because of promoting this fairy tale, I became rich."

"So he's not out yet?"

"I don't know. A day has passed. Your two nannies, who are in their seventies, are still in there."

Butcher shrugged and gave Legend a helpless look.
