Chapter 124 Silver Angel (4K large chapter)

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's teleportation.

Although Richard had just simply demonstrated his superpowers, the superpowers he showed still surprised Edgar, the president of the Water Group.

Powerful!

Powerful like a god!

Edgar had seen many superpowers, and he knew that all superpowers in this world were born after injecting Compound No. 5.

But he had never thought that someone would have such a powerful superpower.

Even though he saw it with his own eyes, he still had an illusion that he was hallucinating.

When showing some of his superpowers, Richard did not kill anyone, but simply demonstrated in front of Edgar the superpowers of controlling gravity, magnetic field, fire, lightning, hurricane, freezing, etc.

In addition, he also created a deep pit in the forest that looked like a meteorite crater, but with a diameter of ten kilometers.

After seeing the superpowers 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 didn't intend to tell him his true origin.

After briefly showing his strength in front of Edgar, he used teleportation to bring Edgar back to the president's office.

He didn't continue to tell Edgar what to do next. Under Edgar's gaze, he calmly used teleportation to leave the president's office.

When he used teleportation to leave, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, which immediately attracted 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 know, tell Madeline that I will find someone to fill the vacancy in the deep sea."

After that, Edgar hung up the phone directly.

Although he rarely intervened in the affairs of the Super Seven Team, and even rarely intervened in the daily management of the Water Group, he was the president of the Water Group anyway.

If he thought that Richard was just a young superpower who didn't know the height of the world before seeing Richard's strength,

So now, he felt that Richard joining the Super Seven was a condescension.

With the strength Richard had just shown, let alone joining the Super Seven, even if he wanted to be the president of the United States, it would be a very normal thing.

After hanging up the phone, Edgar picked up the phone next to him and dialed the number of his adopted daughter, "Headshot Girl" Newman.

...

A coffee shop in the city center.

Richard sat in a seat near the street in the coffee shop, tasting the coffee in front of him carelessly.

Although he had just threatened Edgar with force to agree to his conditions, he was not worried that Edgar would play other tricks in secret.

In other words, even if Edgar had any plans, he would not take it to heart.

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy will be useless!

Unless Edgar can find a high-level combat force to compete with him.

Otherwise, let alone threatening Edgar to let him join the Super Seven, even if he threatened Edgar to hand over all his assets to him, Edgar would have to agree obediently.

For him now, joining the Super Seven is a foregone conclusion.

The only thing he is not sure about now is how Edgar will arrange him in.

The "death" of the lamplighter is already known to everyone, so everyone knows that someone will take over the lamplighter's position and become a 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 is.

A few months ago, the Water Group started the audition of new members of the Super Seven.

After several months of public voting, the candidate to replace the lamplighter is about to come out, and only the final announcement is left.

According to the original timeline, at the shareholders' meeting of the Water Group this year in a few days, Xingguang, who won the "Best Popularity Award", will officially join the Super Seven.

And Shenhai and Xingguang will also meet officially for the first time at that time.

Although Richard doesn't know how Edgar will arrange for him to join the Super Seven, if nothing unexpected happens, Edgar should arrange for him to appear at the shareholders' meeting of the Water Group and let him join the Super Seven with Xingguang.

As for how to explain the death in the deep sea, the public relations department of the Water Group should give a very reasonable explanation.

After drinking the coffee in front of him, Richard took out 20 US dollars from the system space and put it on the table, ready to find a five-star hotel to stay.

Although this is not the Marvel Universe, he has just confirmed that the US dollars in this world are no different from the US dollars in the Marvel Universe.

If there is any difference, it is that the US dollars he has are counterfeit money in a sense.

Because the version number on it 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 see any problem with the version number on the US dollar, even bank staff can't see it.

After all, the US dollar version number of the Marvel Universe also uses the same rules and design methods.

Unless someone specifically investigates whether the version number on it is in the official registration sequence.

Otherwise, no one can find out that he is using "counterfeit money" from another universe.

Although he can use the U.S. dollars stored in the system space at will, he can only use the cash now.

His identification and bank cards cannot be used in this world.

However, this is not a problem for him.

When he came to the roadside and stopped a taxi, Richard opened the back door and got in. He said to the driver: "Go to the nearest five-star hotel."

"Okay, sir!"

The middle-aged driver, who was in his forties and had a typical Indian appearance, replied immediately.

In less than ten minutes, the driver took him to his destination.

Turning to look at the hotel next to him, Richard took out 50 US dollars from the system space and handed it to the driver.

Then, he opened the car door, got out of the car, and went straight into the hotel.

Although his identification and bank card could not be used in this world, he checked in without much effort.

After a simple telepathy, a big golden wave appeared, and the uniformed front desk lady helped him check in with a smile, and handed him the room card for the presidential suite with both hands.

In addition to the room card, the blond front desk lady also handed over a small piece of paper with a phone number and name written on it.

Caitlin!

After glancing at the name on the note, Richard didn't say anything and walked towards the elevator with the room card.

…

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

In the past week, Richard went to the Super Seven Tower again and met with Edgar.

To be precise, I met with Edgar, the president of Walter Group, Madeleine, the vice president, Ashley, assistant to the vice president and director of the talent and relations department, and the director of the public relations department.

Although Edgar introduced him to Vice President Madeleine and others, Edgar did not tell Madeleine and others that he was threatened, but arranged for him to be a distant relative.

Richard didn't say anything about the identity arranged by Edgar.

Although Vice President Madeleine and others had some doubts about death in the deep sea and arranging for Richard to join the Super Seven, at Edgar's strong request, they began to promote and package Richard. .

Walter Group is indeed a company that specializes in "superhero business".

Although Richard's origins are unknown and he has never appeared in public before, under the promotion and packaging of the Watt Group, in just a few days, Richard went from being an unknown person to a new person. Jin's superhero "Silver Angel".

Regarding the codename Silver Angel, Richard decided on his own.

He didn't like the codenames given to him by the Vought Group very much, so he used one of the codenames "Silver Angel" given to him by avid fans of the Marvel Universe.

Although this code name is not particularly domineering, the public relations and announcement department of Walter Group still used the code name "Silver Angel" in accordance with his request.

In addition to the code name, he also directly rejected the superhero uniform designed for him by the public relations and publicity department of the Vought Group.

He did not deny that those who designed the uniforms were a group of professionals.

But compared to the uniforms designed by these people, he still prefers Sephiroth's uniform.

In front of Edgar, Madeleine and others, he directly activated the magic power in his body and turned his casual clothes into the same black windbreaker as Sephiroth with silver shoulder armor.

After seeing the black trench coat he transformed into, everyone from Edgar to Madeleine to Ashley showed unexpected expressions.

Although the "superheroes" of this universe also wear uniforms that suit their own image and positioning, their uniforms are all made of normal materials.

Not to mention that they have never seen a uniform like Richard's that was directly transformed using magic power. Even in the Marvel Universe, not many people have seen it.

While the Watt Group was intensively using the "Silver Angel" to promote Richard to the outside world, the Watt Group also began to promote the "decommissioning" of the deep sea.

Although Deep Sea did not retire but died, it is not a good decision to directly disclose to the public that Deep Sea died inexplicably in the Super Seven Tower.

In order not to affect the share price of Watt Group, Watt Group's public relations department arranged a seemingly reasonable reason for "retirement" for Shenhai.

As the lord of the seven seas, Deep Sea decided to temporarily withdraw from the Super Seven to focus on the increasingly serious ocean pollution.

Although this reason seems a bit nonsense, it is very consistent with Shenhai’s previous publicity strategy and public image, and it is also very consistent with the current environmentally friendly political correctness of the United States.

Regarding Deep Sea's sudden decision to withdraw from the Super Seven, not only the ordinary people outside did not expect it, but also the people of the motherland, Queen Maeve, Transparent Man, Locomotive and others did not expect it.

However, they quickly put the matter behind them after knowing that someone would take over Deep Sea's position.

Deep 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 still have a certain competitive relationship.

When the number of people will not change much, public attention and support are limited.

The higher the support of one hero, the lower the support of other heroes.

No superhero can get everyone’s support.

Not to mention superheroes, not even God.

In addition to public support, there is also competition among members of the Super Seven within the Vought Group.

The resources of the Vought Group are limited, and it is impossible to arrange the same publicity for everyone.

In order to get more publicity, in addition to the support of the public, the support of the top executives of the Vought Group is also needed.

In this regard, Homelander has always been the undisputed number one in the Super Seven.

Unlike other members of the Super Seven, Homelander is a "superhero" specially customized by the Vought Group.

Before Homelander was born, the Vought Group had made a series of subsequent arrangements.

For example, how to fictionalize his life, how to make the public like him, how to make him a leader among superheroes, etc.

When Richard first went to the Super Seven Tower, he did not see Homelander.

However, when the public relations and announcement department of the Vought Group shot posters and promotional videos for him, he successfully met Homelander.

Perhaps it was because of fear of him, or it could be for some other reason.

Vice President Madeline specially brought Homelander to the studio.

On the surface, Vice President Madeline came to check the progress of the public relations and publicity departments.

But Richard knew that Madeline brought Homelander here on purpose as a demonstration to some extent.

Madeline was just the vice president of the Water Group.

From the perspective of the company's management level, she was a subordinate of President Edgar.

Although she didn't know Richard's true origins, she was sure of one thing, that is, Richard was not on her side.

Not only that, Edgar rarely personally intervened in the affairs of the Super Seven, and even used the president's authority to let Richard take over the vacancy left by the Deep Sea, which gave her an instinctive sense of crisis.

In terms of position, she was indeed inferior to Edgar and was Edgar's subordinate.

But she was not a woman without ambition.

Replacing Edgar as the new president of the Water Group has always been one of her goals.

Although this is a very difficult thing, she does not think she has no chance at all.

In other words, as long as Homelander still loves her, she has a chance to replace Edgar.

If Richard had not appeared, she would have followed the original plan and gradually expanded her power and influence within the group.

When the time was right, she would replace Edgar as the new president of the Water Group with the support of Homelander.

However, the appearance of Richard made her feel a strong sense of crisis.

She didn't know what kind of strength Richard had, but she knew Edgar very well.

In short, if Richard was as unworthy of his name as Deep Sea, Edgar would not let Richard join the Super Seven at all.

In the case of insufficient strength, even if Richard joined the Super Seven, he would not play any role, let alone replace Homelander as the captain of the Super Seven.

Although Richard's specific strength was unclear, in Madeline's opinion, even if he was a pawn specially arranged by Edgar, he would definitely not be the opponent of Homelander.

So, when the public relations and publicity department was shooting posters and promotional videos for Richard, she deliberately brought Homelander to the studio and decided to let Homelander give Richard a little power.
