Chapter 130: Starlight with Refreshed Perspectives (4K Large Chapter)

Madeline's "accidental" death was an absolute blessing for Edgar.

The day after Madeleine's death, he convened a board meeting and recommended a new vice president.

Daenerys Ayala!
Richard had no impression of the vice president recommended by Edgar.

He thought that Edgar would be like Homelander in the TV series and make Ashley, who was originally Madeline's assistant, a puppet vice president who only obeyed orders.

But it turns out that Edgar didn't do that.

Although he had no impression of Daenerys Ayala, Richard didn't take it to heart at all.

No matter who takes over the position of vice president, it will not affect his plans.

Not to mention Daenerys who has never appeared in the TV series, even if Edgar appointed Storm, the wife of the founder of the Vought Group, as vice president, it would not have any impact on him.

Compared to Daenerys's role as vice president, Richard is now more concerned about another thing.

That means the Boys' Guard in this universe was established just like in the TV series.

"The Butcher" Butcher found Hughie, whose girlfriend was killed by a locomotive, and successfully persuaded Hughie to join the Black Robe Patrol to fight against the Vought Group and the Super Seven.

Not only that, Frankie and Breastmilk were also persuaded by Butcher to join the Black Robe Patrol.

The only difference from the TV series is that Butcher did not ask Hughie to install a bug in the Super Seven's meeting room.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't have the opportunity.

When Richard found out that Butcher had approached Hughie, he had the locomotive hold a press conference and issue an apology statement in public.

Although the engine was reluctant to do so, he finally obeyed Richard's orders.

Richard did not do anything to the locomotive, but told him directly that if he did not obey, he would kick him out of the Super Seven Team as he already had a heart disease, and tell the people outside that he was not on a mission at that time.

In order to keep his position in the Super Seven, Lokomotiv had no choice but to follow Richard's arrangements.

In addition to asking the locomotive to issue a public apology statement, Richard also warned the invisible man to stop wandering around in the Super Seven Tower like a perverted peeping Tom.

Although the Invisible Man did not sneak into the luxury suite where he lived, he habitually stayed in the women's restroom to peek at Starlight or other female employees of the Water Group going to the restroom.

But Richard didn't like his obscene behavior.

He can understand that men are lustful.

But he couldn't stand the invisible man peeping around like a perverted voyeur.

If the Invisible Man did not have some value that could be utilized, he would have kicked him out of the Super Seven without saying a word.

The meeting room of the Super Seven team.

A large group of crew members were busy setting up the scenes and cameras.

Three days ago, the Water Group officially announced that Daenerys would serve as the group's vice president, replacing Madeline and taking full responsibility for all matters related to the Super Seven.

Although Richard didn't mind Daenerys being the vice president and handling all the affairs of the Super Seven in the open.

But at noon on Daenerys' first day in office, he found Daenerys and had a friendly conversation with her.

He didn't talk much with Daenerys, just briefly discussing the control of the Super Seven and the selection of the new captain.

After Homelander killed Madeline, Richard did not continue to arrange other things for Homelander, but only told him that he planned to officially take over the position of captain of the Super Seven.

His countrymen did not say anything about his decision.

In other words, even if he was extremely unhappy, he had no other choice.

With his strength far inferior to Richard's, and the mentality of a giant baby, he could do nothing but get angry and vent secretly.

Although he didn't know whether Homelander had adopted other means to vent his dissatisfaction, Richard was very sure of one thing, and that was that Homelander, whose mentality had collapsed, would run outside alone from time to time to perform the famous scene of Crescent Moon Sky Strike.

After the staff in the conference room set up the scene and camera, Richard and Homelander, wearing black windbreakers, began to shoot a promotional video for the handover between the old and new captains of the Super Seven according to the lines designed by the public relations department.

Richard had not originally intended to shoot a promotional video that had no practical significance, but after listening to the explanation from the head of the public relations department, he finally agreed to shoot the promotional video.

Not for any other reason, just because shooting promotional videos can better increase one's own popularity.

Over the past twenty years or so, the title of captain of the Super Seven has been closely tied to the motherland.

In other words, the title of Super Seven captain is a big part of Homelander’s fame.

By shooting a promotional video for the handover between the old and new captains, the attention and fame that originally focused on the motherland can be transferred to him.

In front of the huge French window of the conference room, Homelander looked out at the Empire State Building, which was only a few hundred meters away from Vought Group. With superb acting skills, he said with emotion, "For the past twenty years, I have been the captain of the Super Seven and have witnessed one superhero after another joining or leaving the Super Seven."

"Every time I bid them farewell, I wonder when a new player will take over the captaincy from me."

"After waiting for so many years, I finally got it."

At this point, a "real" smile of relief appeared on Homelander's face. He turned to look at Richard and continued, "Times have changed, and I am slowly getting older."

"This is a new era for you young people. I belong to the previous era. It is time to hand over the captaincy to younger newcomers."

"Richard, I believe you can do better than me. I also believe that under your leadership, the Super Seven will create a more brilliant future."

"The Super Seven is now in your hands!"

After saying that, Homelander patted Richard's shoulder seriously, with an expression that said, "I'll leave everything to you from now on."

Although I am unwilling in my heart, I have to admit that my Chinese compatriot, who has been trained to be the face of the group since childhood, does have superb acting skills.

Even if he doesn't have any superpowers, he can make a name for himself in Hollywood just with his acting skills and appearance.

"No, Homelander, you can't just leave us like this. I have only been in the Super Seven for a short time. I don't have as much experience as you. The Super Seven still needs you."

Like Homelander, Richard also started to show off his acting skills.

Although he did not receive professional training from a young age like Homelander, his acting skills are not much inferior to Homelander.

After hearing his words, Homelander smiled and said, "I'm not old enough to retire directly."

"Don't worry, as long as I can still fight crime and protect the lives and property of citizens, I will stay in the Super Seven and contribute my strength."

"Of course, all this requires your consent, Captain."

"I can't think of any reason why I should refuse!"

After saying that, Richard and Homelander simultaneously extended their right hands, shook hands, and briefly hugged each other.

"Very good! Perfect! Passed in one go!"

After a few seconds, the voice of the promotional video director was heard, and the applause started first.

After the director demonstrated, the other staff in the conference room also applauded happily.

Unlike them, the moment the sound was heard, Richard and Homelander separated as quickly as possible, as if the other had some deadly virus.

“Don’t forget to post the promotional video on your social media account,” Richard said to Homelander.

"I will not forget."

Homelander replied quickly.

After hearing the answer from his homelander, Richard said nothing more. He directly used teleportation to leave the conference room and returned to the luxury suite on the 96th floor.

A few hours later, the Water Group released a promotional video of the handover between the new and old captains of the Super Seven team, and purchased trending searches on various social media and news websites.

At the same time, various water armies that had been arranged early in the morning began to leave comments online to guide the direction of public opinion.

Not surprisingly, Richard and Homelander quickly became headlines on major social media and search engines.

Richard ignored the release of the promotional video on the Internet, and browsed the information of the soldier boy in the study.

As he knew, Soldier Boy was America's first superhero and the former captain of the superhero team Blood Debt and Blood Payback.

In the mission in Nicaragua, the professionalism of "Blood Debt and Blood" who was almost like a circus clown was defeated by the sudden appearance of the Soviet army. The soldier boy was also captured by the Soviet army and his whereabouts are unknown.

Of course, it is another story in the outside world’s publicity.

The Vought Group, which was not particularly mature at the time, arranged a heroic ending for Soldier Boy, allowing Soldier Boy to disappear from the public eye as a hero who died in battle.

What Richard is looking at now is the internal information of the Vought Group and the US military.

The internal information of the Water Group was given by Edgar.

As for the military's internal information, it was provided by "Headshot Girl" Victoria Newman.

Although they did not hide anything, as he guessed, neither the Vought Group nor the US military knew where the Soldier Boy was being held by the Soviet army.

After reading the information in his hand, Richard summoned a golden flame to burn the document in his hand.

To the outside world, the soldier boy had died long ago.

But he knew that the soldier boy was not only alive, but was also used as a guinea pig in the Soviet Union's experiments and was locked up in a secret laboratory.

Although the Soldier Boy's strength was not stronger than that of the Homelander and could not pose any threat to him, he still felt that he needed to pay attention to the Soldier Boy's intelligence.

In other words, he was thinking about whether he should also treat Soldier Boy as a "super villain" to enhance his own fame.

Judging from his style and personality, Soldier Boy cannot be considered a super villain, but just a scumbag with super powers.

But that doesn't mean he can't be a so-called super villain.

With just a little bit of packaging and promotion, the soldier boy who was originally the first superhero in the United States can be turned into a super villain who commits all kinds of evil.

After a brief thought, Richard decided not to target the soldier boy for the time being.

He really needs to improve his fame now, but he doesn't think it is necessary for him to go to Russia in person to rescue the soldier boy.

If Butcher, Hughie and others can rescue Soldier Boy, it won't be too late to package Soldier Boy into a super villain.

As for now, there is no need to waste too much time on Soldier Boy.

After making the decision, Richard temporarily put the soldier boy behind his mind, left his suite, and came to the door of the Starlight Suite.

Although he could also use teleportation to go in directly, he didn't intend to do so.

When he arrived at the door of the Starlight Suite, he pressed the doorbell.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang immediately.

In a matter of seconds, Starlight appeared in front of him in her sexy new uniform.

Although Xingguang's appearance and figure have not changed much, as the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha.

After changing into a new uniform that looked like a one-piece swimsuit and waving her long golden hair into big waves, Xingguang's image immediately changed from youthful and energetic to sexy and charming.

"Are you ready?"

Richard asked Xingguang, who showed off her strong cleavage and round legs.

"Ready!"

Starlight replied immediately.

Although she didn't like her new uniform at all, she didn't dare to disobey Richard's orders directly.

After spending some time together, she found that although Richard was not as righteous as she had imagined, he was not bad enough to be a scum either.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the nightclub that is specifically open to superhumans.

In order to let Starlight know the true faces of superheroes, Richard took her to a superhuman nightclub a few days after joining the Super Seven, so that she could see the true faces of superheroes in private.

That night, it was not only the stars that were eye-opening, but he himself was also eye-opening.

Although he has many superpowers, he usually only uses them for serious matters.

The superhumans in this world have developed their superpowers into completely different uses.

After seeing the true faces of the superheroes packaged by the Vought Group, Xingguang's three views were directly refreshed.

Not only that, she even had the idea of ​​quitting the Super Seven and becoming an ordinary person from then on.

However, Richard quickly convinced her to give up the idea.

The superheroes packaged by the Vought Group are indeed not worthy of the title of heroes, but this does not mean that all superhumans are scum.

Whether it is ordinary people or superhumans, there will be good people and bad people.

Richard told her bluntly that he would not stay in the Super Seven for long.

After he leaves the Super Seven, he hopes that Starlight can take over as the new captain of the Super Seven, turning the Super Seven from a superhero team that is not worthy of the name into a real superhero team.

Although she didn't know why Richard said that, Xingguang, who didn't have much life experience, was quickly convinced by him.

Not only that, that night after Xingguang returned to the Super Seven Tower, he took the initiative to come to Richard's suite and had a fierce debate with Richard on the origin of life.

After hearing Xingguang's answer, Richard walked up to her, hugged her slender waist, and began to perform telepathy.

In just a moment, they went from the Super Seven Tower to Brooklyn.

Transmitted to the gate of a warehouse in Brooklyn, Richard said to Starlight: "There is a group of robbers in the warehouse who just robbed a jewelry store. Fight crime in your own way."

Xingguang nodded, went straight to the door of the warehouse, and used his superpowers.
