Simultaneous time travel: Am I the only normal person?

"Boss, I need an explanation!"

Madeline looked extremely embarrassed.

Last night, she discussed with Edgar how to maximize the last value of the deep sea. The publicity department of Water Company has developed a complete public relations process.

From serious injuries to death to funeral, we provide one-stop service.

It has been ensured that the headlines for the next half month will be news about their Water Company.

The two also discussed how to deal with their relationship with Luke in the future.

Killing Shenhai as soon as he disagreed with someone is not like a humble Oriental person.

Did the deep sea offend certain people's interests?

Or should we warn Madeline of the military infiltration plan...

Edgar didn't know the answer, but his first priority was to stabilize the situation. No matter what, Water Company's stock price and market value could not fall.

What they need most now is stability.

Even if Luke killed Deep Sea, this matter must be quickly suppressed, and even turned into a "tool" to increase the market value of Water Corporation.

As for accountability, the decision will be made by the board of directors once everything is settled.

After all, Edgar is just an employee.

The real boss of Water Company is the Water family.

He worked very hard and at most he would get a little dividend when he left. There was no need for him to go against another shareholder for this little dividend.

Of course, the interests of other shareholders cannot be affected because of Luke alone.

So he prepared to send out a cannon fodder.

For example... Madeline, the vice president who knows nothing and is hated by most of the senior executives of Water Company, is a good target.

Not only would it satisfy Luke's side, it would also satisfy the directors, and he would be very satisfied - all he had to do was make Madeline suffer a little.

Madeline was jumping up and down anxiously. She thought that by controlling Homelander, she would be able to gain a foothold in Vought Corporation. She even wanted to get involved in the military - did she think Edgar should retire early?

Thinking of this, Edgar's expression remained unchanged. He just raised his head slightly and looked at the angry Madeline.

"The board has already approved the Justice League plan. I can't stop the board's decision."

He is just a black president, and at most he holds a little dividend from Water Company.

Although he nominally has a veto power, as long as he dares to stand in the way of the directors, the word "black president" may be removed the next day.

Although he didn't know how much Luke had spent to get those directors to agree to such a ridiculous plan.

But Edgar would never show up to block the way at this time.

"What should we do with the Super Seven? How should we deal with the attitude of our countrymen? Also, what about the military..."

Madeline asked questions one after another.

She suspected that Edgar was drunk by his black compatriots while walking at night, or that it might be done by the group of directors, after all, they personally decided and approved this plan...

"Homelander has agreed to join the Justice League."

Edgar ignored Madeline's chatter.

"What?!"

Madeline froze in place.

The motherland agreed???

How is this possible!

Even if all six members of the Super Seven agree, it is impossible for Homelander to agree!

"The company has already started its initial publicity campaign. The Super Seven will join the Justice League as the core seven giants, and then the company's superhero team will be divided into action teams depending on the situation."

Even though Luke's plan was a little absurd, his superiors agreed, and so did his fellow countrymen, so it made no difference whether Madeline agreed or not.

She had to agree even if she didn't agree.

"That's it, Madeline. The current Super Seven... no, it should be called the Justice League. Their direct superior is Mr. Luke."

Edgar narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Super Seven is the cradle of Vought Corporation's money-making. This organizational structure change was very hasty, and the newly established Justice League has a great deal of autonomy.

Although I can still make money, it is much less than before.

Fortunately, the military has agreed to the plan to purchase Compound No. 5.

Their Water Company was originally a pharmaceutical company.

It’s just that most people are confused by this group of superheroes.

"Madeline, if you are willing to stay in Water Company, Water Company will retain your position as vice president." Edgar did not give Madeline a chance to refute.

"Of course, you can also choose to continue to serve as Homelander's exclusive agent, but the company will issue a resignation letter in accordance with confidentiality regulations."

Madeline clenched her hands and stared at Edgar, as if she wanted to shoot Edgar with a heat ray like Homelander did to the terrorists!

On the surface, Edgar gave her two choices.

But in fact, no matter which choice you make, it is a dead end!

Madeline was able to stay in the company as vice president largely because of Homelander's existence, but now Vought Corporation has decided to split the Super Seven into the Justice League and cut ties with Vought Corporation.

In other words, today's Justice League is no longer a 'product' of Vought Corporation, but a partner.

If she wants to stay in Vought Corporation, she must draw a line with the Justice League, which also means that she will lose the help of Homelander.

Without her motherland, why would Madeline stay in the company as vice president?

Relying on so-called public relations skills?

Water Company is about to transform itself into a company that makes a fortune quietly behind the scenes. A vice president like her who is only good at public relations will be sidelined sooner or later. She may be demoted to the public relations department and become a idler within two years.

By then, I guess I won’t even be eligible for dividends.

Or, go to the Justice League and become Homelander's exclusive agent.

This is even more of a dead end.

The difference between being the vice president of a multinational corporation and becoming the exclusive agent of a star in a newly created star group can only be described as the difference between heaven and earth.

She has already spent so many years at Water Company, how many more years can she work outside?

Moreover, will Homelander always let her be his exclusive manager?

Thinking about what Edgar had told her about the betrayal of her countrymen, and then thinking about the newborn baby at home... Madeline gradually loosened her hands, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes raised, and she smiled stiffly.

"I'd like to stay with the company, Edgar."

Rather than following the Homelanders and "seeking death", it is better to stay in Vought Company and wait for an opportunity to act. A slow death is always better than dying on the spot.

And who knows, maybe she will find a chance to turn the tables...

Madeline was smiling, not showing any sign of her previous anger.

Edgar nodded slightly: "Madeline, these are the new tasks assigned to you by the company. I hope you will not let the company down..."

"Of course, I'm happy to help."

The two of them seemed to really handle it with care, putting aside the matter of Luke taking away the Super Seven and not taking any further action.

As for what I think in my heart, it is not for outsiders to know...

——

Water International Building, conference room.

This meeting will also be the last meeting of the Super Seven.

Tomorrow, they will move to the nearby Stark Tower as the Justice League. It is the new base that Luke has prepared for the Justice League and will also be the 'watchtower' where superheroes will gather in the future.

Of course, even the members of the Super Seven themselves don’t know about these things.

The Justice League plan was just approved today, and there has been no time to explain it clearly to the members of the Super Seven, and even the termination contract has not been signed.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

The fastest locomotive was the last to arrive today.

"What happened?"

The motherland keeps smiling.

I don’t know if it was Queen Maeve’s illusion, but Homelander’s smile seemed a little strange today.

In the past, the Chinese people smiled brightly enough, but gave people a sense of arrogance that kept strangers away. Now, they are a little closer to normal humans...

Queen Maeve glanced at Homelander.

Homelander didn't notice that he really just wanted to care about his 'colleague' this time.

That gentleman said that any colleague who is still alive and present tomorrow will become his teammates who will share life and death with him on the battlefield.

Although I wonder why the time is set for tomorrow.

However, this does not prevent the motherland from showing care for their teammates.

It’s just that… the locomotive might not be easy to accept?

"It's okay! There's no problem!"

The engine looked sullen.

"Okay, sit down, the meeting will start soon."

The engine quickly pushed back the chair and sat down.

He glanced around.

Homelander, Queen Maeve, Noir, The Invisible Man, and... Starlight.

Including him, there are six people in total.

The deep sea died suddenly, but the starlight is now safe and sound. The locomotive doesn't know how deep the water is, and he doesn't dare to know.

Didn’t you see that even the people from our country didn’t say anything?

He is just a nigga, so he just needs to sit here and watch the show.

Ever since joining the Water Company, the locomotive has clearly understood one thing: the black skin on his body cannot actually serve as an atomic bomb to protect him, but may very likely blow himself to death.

But wait a minute… aren’t they all here already?

Why do you have to wait a little longer?

Wait, could it be that Water Company has already selected a new member to replace Deep Sea, and today's meeting is just to let the new member show up? !

The locomotive's expression froze.

Among the Super Seven, he doesn't have a very good relationship with Deep Sea, but Homelander really likes to "take care" of the two little Karamis.

As long as there is a possibility that the popularity of these two people will catch up with their own, the motherland will immediately rush out and give them a "hug of love".

A... a warm hug that is enough for superhumans like them to stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month to rest until the heat has completely cooled down!

However, there is nothing we can do about it.

Among the entire Super Seven, Queen Maeve is a female, and the overlap rate of her fan base with that of the Homelanders is not high. Black and Lamplighter are two old Dengs, so the popularity can be just so-so.

The only thing similar to them is that the Invisible Man never shows up every day. Even when he becomes popular sometimes, the media doesn’t know where he has gone.

The Chinese people were too lazy to talk to such a pervert who had been squatting in the women's restroom all year round. If they really wanted to do it, they might even give the invisible man a new special fetish...

So in this situation, the deep sea and the locomotive, who were originally enemies, now felt more sympathetic to each other.

Now, the sudden death of the deep-sea fish has further elevated this feeling of sympathy to the point where the death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn.

Since Water Company can ruthlessly use the dead Deep Sea to continue marketing, one day, he, the locomotive, may end up like Deep Sea.

Deep Sea can be thrown into Somalia to feed the pirates, but he, the locomotive, doesn't want to go back to Africa to see his fellow countrymen.

"oh--!"

The locomotive covered its mouth and almost said "Oh, richard" but was given a cold look by the fellow countrymen who moved when they heard the sound, and stopped abruptly.

The motherland smiled, turned around and bowed slightly.

"Boss, you are here."

The spark portal went out.

Luke patted Zu's shoulder.

A'Zu's body trembled, but considering that there were a group of teammates in front of him, Homelander still tried his best to stand firm.

Don't kneel, at least not now.

Mr. Luke has just explained that his future persona will be a god on earth, a symbol of justice, and a superhero who will not kneel even if he meets a real god!

However, this respectful attitude alone was enough to make all the members of the Super Seven except Starlight look surprised.

What did they see?

The people of our country would actually bow their heads to a strange man? !

Of course, he doesn't just bow his head.

Homelander pushed the chair aside and asked Luke to sit down, then he stood directly behind Luke like a bodyguard.

Are the people of my country crazy today, or am I crazy?

The engine rubbed his eyes.

He was a little suspicious, wondering if he was still at his girlfriend's house and this was just an illusion caused by taking drugs?

But this doesn't make sense. If this is really an illusion, shouldn't my countrymen treat me like a big shot? How come a stranger suddenly appears...

"Good morning, Mr. Luke."

There was a strange flash in Queen Maeve's eyes, but she still greeted Luke.

Unlike Locomotive, the idiot who has been taking drugs and is a little insane recently, Queen Maeve had already learned that a major shareholder had recently landed in the company.

Although she rarely appears at Water Company, considering some issues, Queen Maeve still found an opportunity to meet Luke in person.

Her recent marketing hasn't been particularly strong.

Ever since she and Homelander ended their screen CP, her popularity has been getting lower and lower. In addition, Madeline doesn't care about the development of others at all and only wants to push Homelander to the ranks of superstars.

So, Queen Maeve needs to find a strong supporter to protect herself.

We don't seek to compete with our countrymen, as long as we can maintain our original rights and interests.

"Maeve, long time no see."

Luke nodded.

This woman is the only one with some brains among the entire Super Seven. (End of this chapter)
