Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 198 New World Selection! (asking for monthly votes)
"In just one night, the [Woodhouse] organization successfully arrested more than 200 parahumans across the United States. Shockingly, a quarter of them were students at Godolkin University!"

"The police are working closely with [Woodhouse] to closely monitor these superhuman criminals. According to the New York Attorney General, all the evidence provided by [Woodhouse] is irrefutable, indicating that if this trial goes smoothly, it will become an unprecedented major case in the history of superhuman crime."

"According to Congressman Newman, the head of the White House Superhuman Affairs Office and the special spokesperson for the Wood House Corporation, Vought Corporation and its subsidiary Godokin University have become a hotbed for superhuman crimes. He calls on all citizens not to be afraid of superhumans, but to have the courage to report those superheroes who break the law to the Wood House!"

"."

Inside the Super Seven Team base of Water Corporation, the atmosphere was heavy and depressing.

There was no expression on Edgar's dark face. He slowly glanced at the members of the Super Seven around him.

Homelander, Queen Maeve, Starlight, Deep Sea. That’s all.

Of the seven people who were hailed as world stars a few months ago and pushed Water's stock price to an unprecedented peak, there are now only four left.

The Invisible Man was killed by two C4 bombs pushed from behind him, and then the Storm Girl who took his place was accused of being a Nazi remnant and died in an unknown place.

Xuanse and Huochetou have been arrested and imprisoned because their dirty work was exposed.

When he saw these two men on TV, Xuanse's hands and feet were all cut off, and his body was covered with blood holes. He was able to survive only because of his extraordinary physical strength.

As for the locomotive, that guy has become a psychopath who talks to himself. He looks crazy and must have suffered a lot of mental stimulation.

Edgar knew with his ass that all this was done by the bastards in the wooden house, but what he couldn't believe and couldn't figure out was - where did Rango get so many superhuman helpers?

It would have been fine if he had done it himself, but he saw the news from his undercover agent Newman that the guy had stayed in the company all night yesterday.

Although the outflow of Compound No. 5 is true, it is by no means sufficient to support such a rapid expansion of [The Wooden House].

"Mr. Edgar?"

Starlight's voice broke the silence, and she asked tentatively, "You called all of us here, do you have something to announce?"

Edgar took a deep breath and looked at the starlight with complicated eyes.

His original plan was to rely on Starlight as a bond to lure Rango into Water Company and balance the rights of the Homelanders, but now that guy has become the president of the cabin and is completely on the opposite side of Water.

Therefore, he was filled with disgust towards Xingguang who called Rango "teacher".

But the other party has now surpassed Homelander to become the biggest superhero of Vought Corporation, with a support rate of over 80% among women. He is the company's biggest profit point in the near future, and even he, the president, cannot easily offend him.

Edgar forced a smile and announced in a heavy tone, "I have a very important decision to inform everyone."

He swept his eyes between the remaining four members of the Super Seven, with an unquestionable determination in his eyes, "From now on, if your actions outside violate the law and morality, the company will no longer provide you with expensive public relations support or reach a settlement with the victim. I hope that from now on, you can be a real superhero."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the other two people present, except Starlight and Queen Maeve, changed significantly, especially Deep Sea, who immediately wanted to ask a few questions.

As the most loyal lackey of the motherland, he has done a lot of dirty work for the other party. If he is exposed and there is no company protection, he is likely to become the next Black or Locomotive.

"Mr. Edgar"

"No need to say more."

Edgar glanced at him coldly and continued, "The company has been under tremendous pressure recently. The board of directors has decided to reorganize the Super Seven and select untainted, genuine superheroes. Currently, except for Starlight and Queen Maeve, you and Homelander are on the cleansing list. I advise you to be careful with your words and actions!"

After hearing this, the originally expressionless Homelander clenched his fists quietly and looked at Edgar in disbelief, as if he had heard an incredible verdict. "What did you just say?"

Edgar narrowed his eyes and said warily, "Don't do anything stupid, Homelander. This is the decision of the board of directors, not my opinion."

Homelander looked at the other party with great anger, and at this moment, what Rango had said before suddenly came to his mind.

Kill these ignorant company executives, use blood and fire to gain shock and awe
As soon as he thought of this, a red light slowly appeared in his eyes, as if he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and he wanted to cut the other party into pieces and kill him like a pig.

He could tolerate the company no longer covering up scandals for superhumans, but he couldn't stand these ordinary people ignoring him. He was a native of his country! The most beloved superhero!

Bang bang bang——!
But at this moment, a burst of applause suddenly came from outside the corridor.

Then, Rango appeared in their sight with a smile, bringing with him Councillor Newman.

"What Mr. Edgar just said is absolutely true."

Rango smiled and pointed at Homelander and Deep Sea at the table, "Be a real superhero, improve your moral bottom line, and use your superpowers reasonably within the legal framework. This is what you bastards should do most."

At this moment, Shen Hai closed her legs tightly when she saw him. Because of this guy, she has become a pervert who can't have sex with women and can only play with octopuses.
He quickly looked at his homelander with indignation, hoping that he would stand up and fight back, but unfortunately, his homelander obviously had no such idea.

"What are you doing here?" Homelander looked at Rango and asked indifferently. "Hahaha, I think this has nothing to do with you."

Then, Rango turned to Edgar with a playful look in his eyes, "You invited me to negotiate, and you brought four bodyguards with you?"

Edgar's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was firm: "Whether it is Homelander, Queen Maeve or Starlight, they are all the most valuable assets of Vought Company. They are very suitable here."

After saying that, he waved casually towards the deep sea.

"What?"

Shenhai looked around unhappily and found that almost everyone present was ignoring him. He gritted his teeth, left his seat unwillingly, and walked out of the base meeting room.

After this guy left, Edgar spoke again, his tone becoming more intimate: "Rango, can I call you that?"

"of course."

Rango found a chair and sat down. After smiling at the starlight opposite him, he glanced at Queen Maeve who was dressed like Wonder Woman.

I always feel that there is something wrong with the way this woman looks at me.

He coughed lightly and got straight to the point: "Our time is precious, so let's get straight to the point. My company is still holding hundreds of parahuman criminals, so we're busy."

This old black man called my office early this morning and said he wanted to negotiate some business matters with me.

"Rango."

Edgar stared at the man in front of him and said seriously, "Let me make a condition. As long as you stop targeting Walter, we can sign a series of business cooperation agreements with the Wooden House. You know that the Wooden House also has many superhuman resources, and Walter has a broad media platform. We can make your superhumans become stars on TV and create huge commercial value for the Wooden House."

He pounded on the table as he spoke, trying to tempt Rango with benefits: "How much does the government allocate to you every year? Do you know how much Starlight is paid for each movie now? 30 plus 30!"

"As long as you agree, Vought's media platform can be fully opened to you. Just think about it, with all the superhumans under your command, if you can produce a few big stars like Xingguang, how much money can you make?"

"."

After listening to this, Rango looked at the other party speechlessly. He first raised a finger and said, "First of all, I must make it clear that I have no ill will towards Walter. I am only targeting those superhumans who trample on the law wantonly."

"Secondly, why do you think I do everything just to make money?"

Rango spread his hands and looked at the people at the table. "I'm not like you guys. For me, as long as I have enough money, it's enough. What I pursue is to maintain social order and justice. My moral bottom line may be much higher than you think."

Edgar's face darkened instantly, and he said in a cold voice: "I am negotiating with you on behalf of Walter only because I don't want the situation to get worse. I hope you can clearly understand what kind of opponent you are facing."

"Yeah. A pharmaceutical and media giant with a market value of over one trillion. Don't worry, Edgar. I know exactly what I'm doing."

Rango smiled nonchalantly, "But I don't know if you can still say what you just said after reading this information."

As he said this, he winked at Councilman Newman, who smiled and handed a heavy document to Edgar.

Edgar frowned, took the document and quickly flipped through it. After a moment, his originally calm expression became extremely stiff.

"Bang!" Edgar slammed the file shut and glared at Rango, "Are you planning to go to war with us?"

"Oh, oh, oh." Rango immediately raised his hands and surrendered. He shook his head and smiled, "Don't take it so seriously. This is just a precautionary measure. After all, it's better to be prepared. With this 'insurance', I can rest assured and prevent you from doing anything extreme."

"."

Edgar tapped his fingers rapidly on the document. The other party actually found evidence that they were using imprisoned people for human research. If this were to be exposed, he, the president, would definitely be the first one to be in trouble.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and asked in a deep voice: "What are your conditions?"

After a moment of silence, Rango shook his head gently and said, "As for the conditions, we will have plenty of time to discuss them later. Now, you just need to remember that we are the ones holding the initiative, not you."

After saying that, he stood up from his chair. As for the document, the company had already made countless backups, so he had no interest in taking it back. He glanced at the silent Homelander and left the meeting room directly.

He had made a decision with Teddy last night, and they would go back to the new world in the next two days.

Vought Corporation can use Compound No. 5 to mass-produce superhumans. Who knows if they can create a few more monsters on the same level as Homelander.

While he was away, he would feel more at ease with the evidence of Water Company's biggest scandal in his hand.

As for the New World, it has been carefully selected through the Grimoire with the help of Yuumi, and it is home to many powerful people, and more importantly, most of them uphold the principles of justice and integrity.

For me, it really is the perfect fit.
