Chapter 99: Storm Front Exposed (400 Subscriptions Plus) The butcher finally did not let him down this time, or it could be that the CIA or even the US military was making a small counterattack and warning to Water. In short, after one night, news about Stormfront being a Nazi and photos of her with various senior Nazi officers were everywhere on the Internet. Especially since some of them have mustaches, there is no way she can clear herself of this accusation. In addition, it was revealed that she had intentionally or unintentionally harmed some innocent people in several recent actions, and that she had deliberately killed black people when she was a free woman and was suspected of racial discrimination, etc. Her reputation is completely ruined. So Edgar personally convened a meeting for this purpose. In addition to the current seven people including Homelander, Maeve, Starlight, Deep Sea, Black and Levi, Stormfront was also on the list. Paying attention to news headlines is basically part of the daily work of superheroes, and of course others know what is happening. So it is inevitable that there is something strange in their eyes when they look at Stormfront, and even the people from their homeland are no exception. This made Stormfront very uncomfortable. She originally wanted to develop a relationship with the other party so as to give birth to one or more super babies. Her homeland had indeed given her a very good response in the past few days, but before she could go any further, this kind of thing broke out.
Based on her understanding of Homelander, he would definitely distance himself from her from now on. He really cared too much about the public's support for him! However, after turning around, Stormfront was stunned when he noticed Levi's eyes. Because there was no particular disgust in it, but instead he still looked cynical. Before this, she hated this kind of look very much, because she knew Levi's purpose very well, he just wanted her body. But at this special moment, she actually felt a little comforted. Even though her reputation was ruined, she was still a very charming woman! But she reacted immediately and glared at the other person fiercely, just like she had done many times before. She would not let the other party succeed easily, even in this embarrassing situation now! Levi felt it was a bit interesting, but he didn't have time to tease the other party because Edgar came with Ashley, who was the temporary vice president. Without further ado, Edgar got straight to the point: "Stormfront, in light of your recent and past performance, the company has decided to withdraw your appointment to the Seven, and you need to formally apologize." Even though they had anticipated this result, Stormfront was still unwilling to accept it when they were actually told it. "Will an apology be of any use? Will I still have to hide like a mouse from now on?" "But this is good for the company's stock price. Due to your influence, the company's stock price has plummeted by 5% after the opening today. You should know what this means." Everyone, including Levi, couldn't help but be shocked. The unit price of Water's stock is more than 30, and considering the issuance volume, this already involves a huge amount of wealth worth tens of billions. Moreover, there is no limit on the price fluctuation of a single stock in the US stock market. There is only a circuit breaker mechanism for the entire stock market. Theoretically, it is entirely possible that Water’s stock price could drop to a rock-bottom price within a day. Of course, this is just theory. Behind Water are many giants from other industries or fields, as well as some official powerful figures. They will not let the stocks in their hands become waste paper. "And this is not a discussion with you, this is a notice issued by the board of directors." "boom!" Stormfront slammed the table with a slam, and with a flash of lightning, she broke it in two, forcing everyone to withdraw to avoid being affected. Stormfront said nothing, but used his special ability to smash the windows of the building and left angrily.
Knowing that she could not confront the board, let alone change its decision, she chose to protest in the most direct way. Maeve, Starlight and the others looked at each other in bewilderment for a moment, but Edgar remained expressionless. "Ashley, contact Stormfront later and give her the two external announcements we prepared." "If she is willing to cooperate, use the first method. If she refuses, use the second method." Ashley quickly responded, “Yes, Mr. Edgar, I’ll do it right away!” Needless to say, everyone can understand that the difference between the two announcements probably lies in whether Water will take part of the blame. If Stormfront was not tactful, then it would definitely be her fault, and Walter would be the innocent one who was deceived by him. Then Edgar turned to look at Homelander: "Homelander, the Seven this way" Homelander nodded: "Leave it to me." In fact, he felt uncomfortable because Stormfront had promised him an attractive future last night. He didn't expect that such a thing would break out before they had time to do anything. But it’s not a big problem, we still have Beijia. Since Beijia had already given him a son, she could definitely give birth to a second and third! The only problem now is that Beijia has a husband, and he has to find a way to deal with him, but he can't let Beijia know that the relationship between him and Beijia is not very good now. He also needs to pay a little attention to the various churches. In his memory, among those super villains who used Compound No. 5, none of them would use the same thermal vision as him. Where on earth did this bastard come from? While thinking about it, Edgar spoke again: "Next we need to select new seven people as quickly as possible to dilute the impact of this incident." "Also, Angel, as a new member of the Seven, you may need to show off more recently to let the outside world know that we at Walter are not blind. I will ask Ashley to arrange more activities for you." This was originally a good thing, even Deep Sea cast an envious look at him. For superheroes, more exposure meant more money. But Levi was not interested in this. He didn't have the leisure time for this, and he no longer cared about this little money. "I think we should leave it to our dear captain, Homelander. He has more experience in this area than I do, and the people support and like him more. I just want to learn more in the future." This is not entirely a compliment from him. In America, Asians have a lower status than blacks. He is an exception among exceptions because of his dual identities as an angel and a superhero. But even so, his number of fans and popularity on the entire network are still far less than that of the fake-smiling boy - Homelander, who Watt has carefully created for many years. Edgar looked at Levi steadily for two seconds, unable to guess what Levi was thinking for the time being, but since Levi had refused, no matter from which perspective, he would not force it. So Edgar spoke again: "Homelander, do you have time recently?" Homelander smiled and nodded: "At this critical moment, I am willing to share Walter's worries." After saying this, he did not forget to nod towards Levi. Indeed, he had had some small opinions about Levi many times in the past. But at this critical moment, he finally saw clearly that Levi was indeed his fan! So the atmosphere became quite harmonious for a moment, and Edgar quickly got up and left. This also made everyone realize that even though Stormfront had just gone berserk, Edgar had not moved a single step.
I don’t know whether he didn’t react at all or he just had a big heart that could remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe. But that didn't matter. Homelander quickly said some nonsense as the captain, the gist of which was that everyone should follow him and work hard, and not learn from Stormfront. Then there is the selection of the new seven members. Everyone can go back and think about it, make their own recommendations, and then report to him. According to past practice, as the captain, he has considerable authority in the final selection of the candidate. At this time, Levi raised his hand. The Homelander was quite satisfied with this respect: "Angel, do you have any questions?" "Captain, the black man named Locomotive has just retired, and Stormfront is a racist. Regarding the selection of new personnel, do you have any special requirements?" "For example, deliberately choose an African or Arab person to dilute the impact of this incident on Walter and the Seven?" He had several choices, and even Firecracker had once whispered her thoughts when her eyes were lifeless and her body was limp. She also wanted to become one of the Seven. Although Levi thought that the possibility was infinitely close to zero, he might as well give her a chance and make her a little happy. After thinking about it, I realized that this is indeed a rather troublesome problem. He is actually a bit racist. He didn't like either the locomotive or the angel very much. But at this critical moment, the Seven, as Watt's face, really need to show some performance. He immediately remained calm and said: "I think we should not only look at race and skin color. You should first come up with candidates who are very suitable in terms of ability and character. After I conduct a preliminary screening, I will tell you the answer." Having said that, many people know the truth, but the Chinese people are still undecided. But they certainly wouldn't sabotage at this time. Even the silly-looking Shen Hai was busy patting the horses, making the smiles on the faces of the Chinese people even wider. After saying a few more meaningless nonsense, Homelander announced the adjournment of the meeting and left first. He was busy going home to see his son. Then Xuan Se also disappeared quietly. The image he gave to outsiders in Water was always that of a loyal lackey of his motherland. Just when Starlight was about to go shopping with Levi, and Maeve was about to talk about some new information she had recently obtained, they were very surprised to find that Deep Sea was winking at Levi. He also tried to pretend that nothing had happened, but he didn't know that his acting skills were not up to the mark in front of them. However, after getting Levi's hint, they pretended not to notice and left in other directions. Levi followed Shen Hai and came to a relatively secluded place a few miles away. The dog looked around furtively a few times and after confirming that there was no one around, Shenhai turned around and turned a large flower bed on the side of the road upside down, revealing a brilliant golden light underneath and some ancient artifacts that were obviously corroded by sea water. Even though he had already known the other party's purpose through telepathy in advance, when he actually saw this scene, Levi couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Oh my god, what on earth is the brain of Shenhai like? Why did he bring them here? Levi took a breath and calmed himself down a little. "Deep Sea, why did you take the risk to bring them here? Didn't I arrange a special docking person for you?" Of course, it was impossible for him to personally review such a small matter every day, so he asked Firecrackers to arrange some people to be responsible for the contact, plus a few newly recruited third-rate superheroes to act as guards.
Shen Hai didn't notice Levi's dissatisfaction at all. He chuckled and said, "This isn't the first time. I want to show you, Angel, what I'm capable of." "alright." Levi pretended to check it out, made some comments, and most importantly, roughly explained how much share Shenhai could get from this operation. This immediately made Shenhai overjoyed and full of hope for the future. After listening casually, Levi discovered that Shenhai was not thinking about luxury cars, beautiful women or mansions, but about going to Jupiter Jack to expand his aquarium. Levi thought at the time that this was really a deep sea. In a sense, this can be considered as the mansion that Deep Sea prepared for his octopus sisters, right? But he felt that he might have overestimated the wisdom of the deep sea. If the situation continued like this, Edgar would probably know what they were doing in a few days. But it’s not a big deal. As long as Shenhai doesn’t do this during normal working hours, I think Edgar will turn a blind eye! (End of this chapter)
