...
"Maybe."
Leon pouted.
Seeing Leon's unmoving expression, Homelander quickly brought out a blond boy from the adjacent room who bore a seven-tenths resemblance to him.
"Ryan?!"
Butcher's composure instantly broke at the sight.
This boy was the cheap son Homelander had forced his wife to bear, a natural-born supe, the child he had promised his dying wife he would take care of.
"This is my son, Ryan, which makes him your grandson," Homelander introduced with genuine emotion.
"Gra-Grandpa," Ryan cautiously greeted Leon.
"..."
Even though he had expected it, Leon, who was in his prime and would forever be in his prime, still found it somewhat dramatic to be called Grandpa.
"You see, besides me, you have family."
"We are your family."
Homelander spoke with such emotion that he brought himself to tears.
If Leon hadn't known Homelander's true nature—a tyrannical giant baby intentionally cultivated by Vought Company—he might have almost believed him.
Homelander's genuine display of emotion at this moment could easily transform into a deadly killing intent in the future.
Just as he had done to Madelyn, Vought's vice president.
"I regret missing...so much."
"I truly wish I could have raised you myself, teaching you by example."
Leon said, feigning sincerity.
"Me too, but it doesn't matter. We are no longer alone; now we have each other."
Homelander looked at Leon, then stroked Ryan's head, feeling as if he was about to have the family he had always dreamed of.
However, Leon walked up to Homelander and his son, placed a hand on Homelander's shoulder, and then said with a tone of disappointment:
"Perhaps if I had raised you, you would have turned out better, instead of being a weakling who cries all day and craves external attention."
"But it's too late to correct that now."
"You've become the good-for-nothing Vought wanted, inside and out."
"Wait!"
"Weakling? Good-for-nothing?"
Homelander's expression was somewhat stunned, while The Boys members wore looks of satisfaction, as Leon had voiced what they all wanted to say.
"Kid, you're a goddamn disappointment."
With that, Leon grabbed Homelander's chin.
Seeing this, The Boys quickly came forward to help restrain Homelander's arms. Butcher and Mother's Milk took charge of the stronger right arm, while Hughie, Kimiko, and Frenchie handled the slightly weaker left arm.
"Question: Do you wish to sign in today?"
'System, don't make me beg you!'
'Open!'
"Ding! Today's sign-in is complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 'Haki'."
"Haki: You possess all three types of Haki: 'Armament Haki', 'Observation Haki', and 'Conqueror's Haki'."
"Introduction: Only Haki transcends all things!"
'Excellent, excellent!'
'John, I've always known you had potential since I was a kid!'
Leon could barely contain his joy, and the force in his hand immediately increased. Homelander's chin began to emit crackling sounds of unbearable pressure.
"What are you doing!"
"Let him go! Let him go now!"
Homelander's son, Ryan, seeing the dire situation, continuously punched Leon and Butcher, but he was still young, and his strength couldn't shake adult supes like Butcher, let alone Leon.
However, while Homelander's son Ryan's strength might still need to develop, the power of his laser eyes was already enough to instantly kill most supes.
Storm is a vivid example.
With that thought, Homelander's son Ryan's eyes began to glow fiery red as he looked at Leon.
"No!"
"Ryan!"
Butcher and Homelander, seeing this, simultaneously tried to stop him in perfect unison, but it was already too late.
Swoosh—
Two fiery red lasers, deeper in color than Butcher's and Homelander's, burst from Ryan's eyes, aimed directly at Leon, who was the main force restraining Homelander.
'Kid, I was waiting for you!'
Leon's mouth curved into a smirk, and he blocked with his shield.
The lasers shot from Homelander's son Ryan's eyes were immediately deflected by the Tungsten-Vibranium shield to the other side, effortlessly piercing through Black Noir's office wall until the outer wall of the Watertower crumbled and fell downwards.
"I-I didn't mean to..."
2.5 seconds later, the laser eyes ceased. Homelander's son Ryan, seeing the destruction he had caused through his super vision, immediately stammered in panic.
Bang!!!
But Leon wouldn't indulge him; he simply backhanded him with the shield, sending him flying.
"Ryan!" ×2
Homelander and Butcher simultaneously cried out in worry. They exchanged a knowing glance, and Hughie, Mother's Milk, and Frenchie, who were observing, only had time to inwardly curse their bad luck.
Then, with two swooshes,
Homelander and Butcher, originally from opposing sides, surprisingly joined forces in battle, simultaneously unleashing laser blasts at Leon.
However, a dramatic scene unfolded.
When Leon, who possesses the Starlight Template, chooses not to absorb external energy attacks, the energy deflection effect of his Vibranium Body functions normally.
The result was—
At this moment, just like before, the two lasers shot from Homelander's and Butcher's eyes were instantly deflected after contacting Leon's skin.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Hughie, Mother's Milk, Frenchie, and Kimiko, who were nearby, instantly had their heads blown off by these dynamically deflecting lasers.
In an instant, The Boys were almost completely annihilated, with only Butcher remaining, frozen in shock.
Bang!!!
Leon lifted his leg and kicked Butcher, sending him flying. Butcher's body smashed through another wall of Black Noir's office, then lay motionless on the ground for a long time.
"Why? Butcher, why did you make such a foolish choice? Answer me! I know you're not dead yet."
Leon, holding Homelander firmly with one hand, slowly walked towards Butcher and asked.
"Can't kill the kid," Butcher said blankly as he got up, like a puppet devoid of a soul.
"You said revenge was most important. What could a little brat mean to you?" Leon questioned.
"He's my wife's son," Butcher replied.
"Wait a minute."
"Homelander slept with your wife?"
"And you're goddamn trying to save that bastard?"
Leon seemed to suffer an unprecedented blow, instantly losing control of his expression. It took him four or five seconds to recover, and he again questioned Butcher:
"Are you out of your mind?"
"I made a promise," Butcher replied, his face filled with grief.
"Are you sure?" Leon retorted, then scoffed, "The person you want revenge on is in my hands right now, and now you're trying to back out?"
Butcher: "Don't kill him."
"F*** you!" Leon cursed, then said with a tone of disappointment, "You're weaker than him, and to save that bastard, you and he have already killed all your teammates. And now you're still going to help this asshole who slept with your wife, and the bastard he had with her?"
"Butcher, you're a goddamn disappointment!"
With that, two fiery golden beams shot fiercely from Leon's eyes towards Butcher, whose eyes similarly erupted with two orange-red lasers to block them.
However, under Leon's absolute violent suppression, Butcher couldn't even hold out for a second, being directly sliced vertically into three pieces by Leon's fiery golden beams from top to bottom.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this point, The Boys were completely wiped out!
