In American comics, drawing cards reveals wave-particle duality

Chapter 49: Before the Storm, Zubao Learns to Be Smart

A seemingly quiet morning at MM's house.

Queen Maeve, who had just escaped from the escort vehicle, was eating an apple pie to satisfy her hunger, and was looking at each other with MM, Frankie, Starlight, Kimiko and others.

Everyone's faces looked very bad, and a solemn atmosphere filled the air.

It was MM who spoke first, breaking the awkwardness.

"So...what is the situation now?"

"Soldier boy, if he goes to the Lighthouse of the Seven to seek revenge on the Homelanders, you should know the consequences."

Queen Maeve crossed her legs and continued.

"The Water Group has thousands of employees. If two people fight, the entire building may collapse and many innocent employees will die inside."

"Where the hell is that bastard Butcher? The last time I saw him, he was with Soldier Boy."

"Based on his usual behavior...I think he has found a place to hide so that we can't find him."

Frankie added.

After eating the apple pie, Maeve wiped her mouth and suddenly remembered a place she had visited with Butcher before.

"Guys...I think...I know where he is."

On the other side, in a temporary rental apartment in New York.

"Come, have a drink before you leave."

Butcher poured a glass of whiskey for the soldier boy, and then he picked up the glass and started drinking it impatiently.

The soldier boy held the cup and sat at the bar, deep in thought.

"Dude, didn't you see the musical An American in Paris?"

"Oh? Could it be another promotional video showing off your masculinity?"

The soldier boy ignored Butcher's dirty talk and continued.

"You know, I don't come from a poor family... My father, the steel tycoon Carnegie, owned more than half of the iron smelters in the United States."

"He and Rockefeller were both key figures in influencing the fate of the United States. In the process of monopolizing the market, they also experienced more collusion between officials and businessmen and dark history than you are experiencing now."

"I was not a good kid back then. I was expelled from every boarding school I went to. In the end, he despised and insulted me... saying that I was not worthy of inheriting his name."

"So, in order to get his funny approval, I went to undergo Walt's Compound 5 experiment and became America's first superhero [Soldier Boy]"

"It's so ridiculous that I still couldn't get his approval in the end. He even said I took shortcuts."

"I've said so much... In fact, I still have a son now."

Hearing this, and seeing that the soldier boy seemed to want more and more to show the fatherly love that he did not receive in the past to his fellow countrymen, Butcher's expression gradually became serious.

"Old soldier, Homelander is not your son except for the few genes he inherited from you. You were captured by Walter just to create a replacement that he could control at will."

"At this moment, you are still concerned about this bloodline inheritance. Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous... He tortured you for so many years, and you still want to forgive him?"

The soldier boy remained silent after hearing this, and then he walked away somewhere to smoke some American-made cigarettes.

Just when Butcher wanted to go into his room to catch up on some sleep, there was a knock on the door of the house.

Butcher yawned and opened the door...but was surprised to find that his best friend Queen Maeve was standing outside, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Hey? Maeve, why are you…"

Before Butcher could finish his words, a familiar sturdy figure suddenly jumped out from beside Maeve, and with quick eyes and hands, he pressed a cold black tool against Butcher's jaw.

"Oh oh oh - MM, be careful."

"Fuckin' shit Butcher, you thought I couldn't find you?"

"Hand over Soldier Boy now!"

MM snapped.

Butcher was shocked, but before he could react, Queen Maeve took the initiative and threw the poison gas perfume out of the window and dismantled Breast Milk's pistol.

Just then, the soldier boy who went outside to smoke special cigarettes came back and saw this scene.

"You guys...want to come and catch me?"

"In fact, I just want to kill Homelander."

"???"

"Maeve, that's not what you just said!"

MM was a little overwhelmed. Hadn't they discussed it before coming here? To kill or subdue the soldier boy, so as to directly stop him from going to the Tower of Seven to seek revenge on Homelander?

Maeve looked at Butcher who had just escaped and said:

"I have no way out. I am willing to pay any price to stop the Homelanders. Soldier Boy is also an important force."

"No, Maeve, this can't be..."

"Yes, it's too uncontrollable. That's thousands of people, which is not a small number."

Starlight also said.

"I can't help it. I may have been too indulgent of my countrymen in the past, which led to the current chaos. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position... You guys, go to the vault first."

"Listen, Maeve, this is too dangerous. It's better if we're here."

Maeve didn't respond, but glanced at the group of people. Apart from the soldier boy, Butcher hadn't given himself the temporary No. 5 compound yet, so there was no one strong enough for her to fight.

Therefore, Frankie, MM, Kimiko and Starlight were trapped in the vault and had to wait for someone to rescue them.

In the Vought Building, Homelander walked to Ashley's office.

His face was gloomy and his eyes revealed a cold murderous intent.

Ashley saw the Homelanders coming in and a sense of fear welled up in her heart.

"I killed Xuanse."

Homelander admitted lightly, his tone flat, as if he was narrating a trivial matter.

"Wha...what?"

Ashley's eyes widened. She couldn't believe her ears. Heise had always been the most capable practical candidate in the seven-member team, and he had the support of a lot of people with language barriers.

This person who could have increased the support rate by a few percentage points was just...killed by the motherland?

Homelander ignored Ashley's shock and continued:

“When I first stepped onto the stage, everyone said I would have my own team of superheroes, but now…

Watt gave the captaincy to a unknown loser who could only attract attention through speeches. He also poached Deep Sea, leaving behind a half-dead locomotive. Is the Seven Man Team still a signature team now?

Ashley, please mobilize all the superheroes currently active in the second line. The soldier boy will soon arrive at the Seven-Man Tower, and I need some help to prevent any accidents."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the motherland. Although the soldier boy had cast a shadow on him, he didn't care that he didn't follow the moral code of the army... Recognizing relatives might go smoothly, or there might be a crisis...

If there's another betrayal... don't blame me for turning against you.
