In American comics, drawing cards reveals wave-particle duality
Chapter 61: Planning before leaving, wife Newman's compromise
In the evening, Newman stood by the window with a sad face, looking at the darkening sky outside, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
Just now, she hurriedly packed her luggage and prepared to leave the city quietly with her daughter Zoe early tomorrow morning.
Not only is she Edgar's adopted daughter, Newman has witnessed dirty politics and super-British deals since she was a child, and having worked with that arrogant bastard Homelander, she knows how dangerous her current situation is.
She has great ambitions, but ambitions must always be paired with a perfect life.
She didn't know the character of Jonathan, the current captain of the Seven Team... He was like this with Homelander alone, and she didn't dare to bet on the others.
Especially after the Homelanders were defeated and the soldier boy was captured, with her keen perception of crisis, she dared to guarantee that things were definitely not as simple as the outside world had spread.
The fact that Jonathan was able to monopolize government affairs showed that he must have used some means. Otherwise...with the character of the people of his country, such a thing would never happen.
So these days, she and her daughter Zoe stayed at home, walking on thin ice, fearing that someone would find them.
Half a month passed like this, and she couldn't bear this kind of life anymore, so she decided to move with her daughter.
Just then, a sudden doorbell rang, breaking the silence in the house.
It’s been half a month...except for the postman, no one has come to ring the doorbell. Who could it be?
Newman suddenly shuddered and looked towards the door vigilantly. He stepped back and asked his daughter Zoe, who was still watching TV outside, to go back to her room and lock the door.
After doing all this, she walked carefully to the door and looked out through the peephole.
When she saw who it was, her heart almost stopped for a beat - it was Jonathan.
Is this... finally here?
Newman took a deep breath and tried to calm her intense heartbeat. She was still in her pajamas, and the beautiful scenery was exposed, making her feel extremely uneasy both physically and mentally.
Still, she opened the door.
"Good evening, Newman."
Jonathan said with a smile on his face, he didn't have a uniform on, just a casual sports outfit.
"Wu Jin, it's so late... is there something wrong?"
Newman asked coldly, trying to hide his nervousness.
Jonathan first glanced around the room, then his eyes fell on the suitcase behind Newman.
"It seems... I came at the right time. Are you planning to move?"
Newman's heart sank. She didn't know if her plan had been exposed, so she could only respond bravely.
"Um... I do want to take my daughter to the countryside for a walk, but it seems to have nothing to do with you, right? If it's nothing, I'll send you away."
Jonathan chuckled and walked into the house nonchalantly.
Newman's pupils shrank and he subconsciously took a step back, but he still remained alert at all times.
She knew that her abilities might be useless against Jonathan, but she was still ready to strike at any time.
Then his pupils turned slightly white, and his entire mind focused on the blood in Jonathan's brain, trying to manipulate them to detonate.
Jonathan looked at Newman who was performing hard in front of him, and indeed felt the urge in his mind, but he suppressed it tightly, not daring to move even a bit of blood, and just looked at Newman with a half-smile.
Newman was also a smart person. When she saw Jonathan's meaningful smile, she knew that all her cards were useless at this moment.
Despair…doubt.
Newman stopped his ability and slumped down on the sofa, with a look of powerlessness and unwillingness in his eyes.
"It seems that you know all my secrets."
"Take it easy, Newman."
Jonathan sat down on the sofa, looking calm.
"In fact, I came here to talk to you."
Hearing these words, which were almost identical to what his countrymen had said when they first came to him, Newman subconsciously frowned and said:
"We have nothing to talk about."
"On the contrary, Newman, I'm not like that giant baby from Homelander, who played a good card badly..."
Jonathan said, meeting Newman's eyes.
"We have a lot to talk about, like, your continued run for vice president."
Hearing this, Newman was suddenly stunned.
She had never expected Jonathan to say such a thing. She had hired someone to murder Jonathan and even encouraged public opinion to spread rumors about him. This...
"You're kidding, right?"
Jonathan shook his head, and the playful expression on his face turned serious.
“Seriously. In fact, I not only want you to continue running, I also intend to push you to the position of vice president and fulfill your dream.”
Newman looked at Jonathan in disbelief, trying to find any hint of a joke or deception in his expression.
But she found that Jonathan's eyes were very clear, and he really looked like he was thinking seriously.
"why?"
Newman asked, his voice full of suspicion.
Jonathan leaned lazily on the sofa.
"The situation is more complicated than you think, Newman. Although Homelander is in trouble, it does not mean that I can continue to be in power. Some congressmen and some shareholders are afraid of influence and afraid that I will dominate alone."
"It just so happens that I'm a very lazy person... These power struggles are not as enjoyable as going on a honeymoon with my girlfriend."
Newman slowly understood Jonathan's intentions.
"So... you need me to balance the situation?"
Jonathan nodded.
"Yes, you have always had a good image in the public eye, and you have enough strength and experience in elections. In addition, you have been Edgar's black glove for many years, so you must be very familiar with the operation."
Newman fell into deep thought after hearing this.
To be honest, this proposal is indeed tempting, but she is not sure whether Jonathan can be trusted, especially since the two were once enemies...
She didn't believe that Jonathan was so kind as to let her sit and pick up all the spoils. Could it be that... he was greedy for her body?
Or is it that, when three of us are together... I must be one of them?
"So, what makes you think I'll agree?"
Thinking of this... Newman turned his head and asked, with a hint of questioning in his voice.
Jonathan continued smiling:
“Because it’s good for both of us, you get power and security, I get support and stability.
"and……"
He paused,
"Don't think too much. I'm not interested in you... I can arrange for your daughter to study at Godolkin University. Tuition is free, and she can choose any college and live in the best dormitory."
"Or maybe let her find a reliable boyfriend."
Hearing this, Newman was indeed moved.
As the top university for superhumans, she knew how difficult it was to get into Godokin University. When she was in the Red River Orphanage, she had hoped very much to enter this university.
But if you want a place, money alone is far from enough.
The most important thing is to rely on connections.
If that’s the case… then it’s indeed possible.
Jonathan looked at the changes in Newman's eyes and expression and knew that she had made up her mind.
"A wise choice, Newman, nice to work with."
Jonathan reached out his hand and shook Newman's.
"Don't worry, I'm different from my countrymen... Fighting and killing is meaningless, win-win cooperation is the main theme after all.
"When you actually take the position of Vice President, I will not restrict your freedom. I only need you to have official certification from Congress. As for the selection for National Defense, you can take your time. There is still plenty of time."
(The next chapter will be back to Marvel, Marvel fans have been waiting for a long time)
(Also, don’t criticize the system for being weak. This system itself is a tool for the protagonist. If the system is too strong, it will create dependence.)
