five minutes later.
Edgar, with a surprised expression on his face, was brought back to the president's office of the Super Seven Tower by Richard through teleportation.
Although Richard had just briefly demonstrated his superpowers, the superpowers he displayed still surprised Edgar, the president of the Water Group.
powerful!
As powerful as a god!
Edgar has seen many people with super powers, and he knows very well that all the people with super powers in this world were born after being injected with Compound No. 5.
But he never imagined that someone would possess such powerful superpowers.
Even though he saw it with his own eyes, he still had the illusion that he was hallucinating.
When showing some of his super powers, Richard did not kill anyone. He simply demonstrated his super powers such as controlling gravity, magnetic fields, fire, lightning, hurricanes, and ice in front of Edgar.
In addition, a deep pit similar to a meteorite crater was created in the forest, but with a diameter of ten kilometers.
After seeing the super powers displayed by Richard, Edgar's first reaction was that Richard was the incarnation of a god.
Apart from this, he couldn't think of any other reason.
Although he was very curious about Richard's true identity, Richard did not intend to tell him his true origins.
After briefly demonstrating his strength in front of Edgar, he used teleportation to bring Edgar back to the president's office.
He did not continue to tell Edgar what to do next. Under Edgar's gaze, he calmly performed teleportation and left the president's office.
When he performed teleportation and left, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, immediately attracting Edgar's attention.
Without any hesitation, Edgar immediately picked up the phone.
After listening to the report on the other end of the phone, he said, "Okay, I understand. Tell Madeline that I will find someone to fill the vacancy in the deep sea."
After saying that, Edgar hung up the phone.
Although he seldom personally intervenes in the affairs of the Super Seven, and even seldom interferes in the daily management of the Water Group, he is the president of the Water Group after all.
Before seeing Richard's strength, he still thought that Richard was just a young super-powered person who didn't know his place.
Well, now, he felt that it was condescending for Richard to join the Super Seven.
With the strength that Richard has just demonstrated, let alone joining the Super Seven, even if he wants to become the President of the United States, it would be a very normal thing.
After hanging up the phone, Edgar picked up the mobile phone beside him and dialed the number of his adopted daughter "Headshot Girl" Newman.
……
A coffee shop in the city center.
Richard sat at a street-side seat in the coffee shop, sipping the coffee in front of him nonchalantly.
Although he had just used force to threaten Edgar to agree to his conditions, he was not worried that Edgar would use other tricks in secret.
In other words, even if Edgar had any plans, he wouldn't take them to heart.
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick will be useless!
Unless Edgar can find a high-level fighter to compete with him.
Otherwise, let alone threatening Edgar to join the Super Seven, even if he threatened Edgar to hand over his entire fortune to him, Edgar would have no choice but to agree.
For him now, joining the Super Seven is a foregone conclusion.
The only thing he was unsure about now was how Edgar would get him in.
The "death" of the Lamplighter was already known to everyone, so everyone knew that someone would take over the Lamplighter's position and become the new member of the Super Seven.
Although the Water Group has not yet announced the candidate to replace the lamplighter, people can roughly guess who it will be.
Several months ago, the Water Group started the drafting of new members for the Super Seven.
After several months of public voting, the candidate to succeed the lamplighter is about to be chosen, and all that remains is the final announcement.
According to the original timeline, at the Water Group's shareholders' meeting in a few days, Xingguang, who won the "Best Popularity Award", will officially join the Super Seven Team.
And Deep Sea and Starlight will also meet officially for the first time at that time.
Although Richard didn't know how Edgar would arrange for him to join the Super Seven, if nothing unexpected happened, Edgar should arrange for him to appear at the shareholders' meeting of the Water Group and let him join the Super Seven with Starlight.
As for how to explain the deep-sea death, the public relations department of the Water Group should be able to give a very reasonable explanation.
After finishing the coffee in front of him, Richard took out $20 from the system space and placed it on the table, preparing to find a five-star hotel to stay in.
Although this is not the Marvel Universe, he has just confirmed that there is no difference between the US dollars in this world and those in the Marvel Universe.
If there is any difference, it is that the US dollars he has are counterfeit currency in a sense.
Because the version number above is not in the official registration sequence of the United States in this universe.
But this is not a big problem.
Not to mention that ordinary people can't tell there's anything wrong with the version number on the US dollar bill, even bank staff can't tell it.
After all, the US dollar version of the Marvel Universe also uses the same rules and design methods.
Unless someone specifically investigates whether the above version number is in the official registration sequence.
Otherwise, no one would be able to discover that he was using "fake money" from another universe.
Although he can freely use the US dollars stored in the system space, he can only use this cash now.
His ID and bank card cannot be used in this world.
However, this is not a problem for him.
Coming to the roadside, he hailed a taxi. Richard opened the back door and got in. He said to the driver, "Let's go to the nearest five-star hotel."
"Okay, sir!"
The middle-aged driver, who was in his forties and had a typical Indian appearance, responded immediately.
In less than ten minutes, the driver took him to his destination.
Turning his head to look at the hotel next door, Richard took out $50 from the system space and handed it to the driver.
Then, he opened the car door, got out and walked straight into the hotel.
Although his ID and bank card could not be used in this world, he completed the check-in procedures without much effort.
With just a simple display of telepathy, the receptionist in uniform with a big golden wave helped him check in with a smile on her face and handed him the room card of the presidential suite with both hands.
In addition to the room card, the blonde receptionist also handed over a small note with a phone number and name on it.
Caitlin!
After taking a look at the name on the note, Richard said nothing and walked towards the elevator with the room card.
……
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
This past week, Richard went to the Super Seven Tower again and met with Edgar.
To be precise, he met with Edgar, the president of Water Group, Madeline, the vice president, Ashley, the assistant vice president and head of talent and relations, and the head of the public relations department.
Although Edgar introduced him to Vice President Madeline and others, he did not tell Madeline and others that he was threatened, but instead arranged an identity for him as a distant relative.
Richard didn't say anything about the identity arranged by Edgar.
Although Vice President Madeline and others had some doubts about Deep Sea's death and Richard's joining the Super Seven, they still began to promote and package Richard at Edgar's strong request.
The Vought Group is indeed a company that specializes in operating the "superhero business".
Although Richard's origins were unknown and he had never appeared in public before, with the promotion and packaging of the Vought Group, in just a few days, Richard went from an unknown person to a new superhero "Silver Angel".
The code name Silver Angel was decided by Richard himself.
He didn't like any of the code names given to him by the Vought Group, so he used one of the code names given to him by the fanatical fans of the Marvel Universe, "Silver Angel".
Although this code name is not particularly domineering, the public relations and announcement department of the Water Group still used the code name "Silver Angel" as he requested.
In addition to the code name, he also directly rejected the superhero uniform designed for him by the Vought Group's public relations and publicity department.
He did not deny that the uniforms were designed by a group of professionals.
But compared to the uniforms designed by these people, he still prefers Sephiroth's uniform.
In front of Edgar, Madeline and others, he directly activated the magic power in his body and changed his casual clothes into the same black windbreaker with silver shoulder armor as Sephiroth.
After seeing the black windbreaker he transformed into, Edgar, Madeline, Ashley and others all showed surprised expressions.
Although the "superheroes" of this universe also wear uniforms that match their own image and positioning, their uniforms are made of normal materials.
Not only have they seen a uniform like Richard's that was transformed directly by magic, even in the Marvel Universe, not many people have seen it.
While the Water Group was busy using the "Silver Angel" to promote Richard, the Water Group also began promoting Deep Sea's "retirement".
Although Shen Hai did not retire but died, it was not a good decision to directly announce to the public that Shen Hai died inexplicably in the Super Seven-Man Tower.
In order not to affect the stock price of Water Group, the public relations department of Water Group arranged a seemingly reasonable reason for "retirement" for Shenhai.
Deep Sea, the lord of the seven seas, decides to temporarily withdraw from the Super Seven and focus his energy on the increasingly serious ocean pollution.
Although this reason seems a bit ridiculous, it is consistent with Deep Sea’s previous publicity strategy and public image, and is also consistent with the current environmental political correctness in the United States.
Not only ordinary people outside were surprised by Deepsea's sudden decision to quit the Super Seven, but even Homelander, Queen Maeve, the Invisible Man, and Locomotive were also surprised.
However, they soon put the matter behind them after knowing that someone would take over Deep Sea's position.
Deep Ocean is indeed an official member of the Super Seven.
But the relationship between them is not as good as ordinary people imagine.
Not only that, from a certain perspective, they also have a certain competitive relationship.
When the population does not change much, public attention and support are limited.
If one hero's support is higher, the support of other heroes will definitely decrease.
No superhero can have the support of everyone.
Not to mention superheroes, even God can't do it.
In addition to public support, there is also competition among members of the Super Seven within the Vought Group.
The resources of the Water Group are limited, and it is impossible to arrange the same publicity efforts for everyone.
In order to gain more publicity, in addition to the support of the public, the support of the top management of the Water Group is also needed.
In this regard, Homelander has always been the undisputed number one in the Super Seven.
Unlike the other members of the Super Seven, Homelander is a "superhero" specially customized by the Vought Group.
Before Homelander was born, the Water Group had made a series of subsequent arrangements.
For example, how to fictionalize his life, how to make people like him, how to make him a leader among superheroes, etc.
When Richard went to the Super Seven Tower for the first time, he did not see Homelander.
However, when the public relations and announcement department of the Water Group was shooting posters and promotional videos for him, he successfully met Homelander.
Maybe it's because they are afraid of him, or maybe it's for some other reason.
Vice President Madeline specially brought Homelander to the studio.
Ostensibly, Vice President Madeline was here to check on the progress of the PR and publicity departments.
But Richard knew that Madeline brought Homelander here on purpose as a demonstration of some kind.
Madeline is just the vice president of the Water Group.
From the perspective of the company's management hierarchy, she is a subordinate to President Edgar.
Although she didn't know Richard's true origins, she was sure of one thing: Richard was not on her side.
Not only that, Edgar rarely personally intervened in the affairs of the Super Seven, and even used his authority as president to let Richard take over the vacancy left by Shen Hai, which gave her an instinctive sense of crisis.
In terms of position, she is indeed inferior to Edgar and is Edgar's subordinate.
But she is not a woman without ambition.
Replacing Edgar and becoming the new president of Water Group has always been one of her goals.
Although it was a very difficult thing to do, she didn't feel that she had no chance at all.
In other words, as long as her countrymen still love her, she has the opportunity to replace Edgar.
If Richard had not appeared, she would have followed her original plan and gradually expanded her power and influence within the group.
When the time is right, she will replace Edgar as the new president of the Water Group with the support of her homelander.
However, the appearance of Richard made her feel a strong sense of crisis.
She didn't know how strong Richard was, but she knew Edgar very well.
Simply put, if Richard was as unworthy of his reputation as Deep Sea, Edgar would never have allowed Richard to join the Super Seven.
Without sufficient strength, Richard would not be able to play any role even if he joined the Super Seven, let alone replace Homelander as the captain of the Super Seven.
Although Richard's specific strength is unclear, in Madeline's opinion, even if he is a chess piece specially arranged by Edgar, he will never be a match for his countrymen.
So, when the public relations and publicity departments were shooting posters and promotional videos for Richard, she deliberately brought Homelander to the studio, and decided to let Homelander give Richard a little warning.
