Chapter 127 Richard's Heroic Activities (4K large chapter)
Unable to withstand a single blow!
Although he had been mentally prepared early in the morning, Richard was still a little disappointed that Homelander only lasted less than half a minute before he passed out.
Judging from Homelander's performance, his strength was not as good as Superman, not to mention that he was even inferior to Ikaris of the Eternals.
Boring!
Very boring!
Looking at Homelander who was unconscious but still firmly bound in the air by material manipulation, Richard sighed helplessly.
After a brief thought, he used telepathy to wake up the seriously injured and unconscious Homelander.
"You are weaker than I thought."
Richard said to Homelander with a bruised face.
After hearing his words, Homelander first showed an angry expression.
But soon, the anger on his face disappeared.
Because the severe pain from all parts of his body reminded him of the scene of being beaten wildly by Richard as a human sandbag before he passed out.
Who is he?
Why does he have such a strong strength?
Is he Edgar's trump card to replace me?
…
One guess after another flashed through Homelander’s mind.
Although he didn’t use telepathy to read his thoughts, Richard could tell what he was thinking just by looking at the expression on his face.
Although Homelander is now in his forties, he has been trained as a commodity since he was a child. Not only is his mind immature, he is a typical giant baby, and his emotional control ability is not very good.
In other words, if he is not in front of the public, his emotional control ability is even worse than that of a middle school student.
Homelander didn’t speak, looking at Richard with a complicated expression.
Under his gaze, Richard slowly said:
"I will give you two choices now."
"One is to be my subordinate, obey all my arrangements obediently, and do whatever I tell you to do."
"The other is that I will kill you now."
"I will give you ten seconds to think about it."
After speaking, Richard directly released the material control, allowing Homelander, who was bound in the air, to fall to the ground.
Ten seconds is not long, but not short.
Soon, ten seconds passed.
"I choose the first one."
Just after ten seconds, Homelander gave his answer.
After hearing his answer, Richard nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "Since you choose to be my subordinate, I will give you the first task now."
"Kill Vice President Madeline within three days."
"As for what means to kill him, you decide."
Kill Madeline?
Homelander looked at Richard with surprise.
Although he didn't mind killing people, he never thought that the first person Richard asked him to kill was Madeline, the vice president of the Water Group.
In the eyes of the outside world, he and Madeline were just ordinary colleagues.
But only he knew that Madeline was not just a colleague.
"Why?"
Homelander asked immediately.
"No reason."
"I just said that you do whatever I tell you to do."
"If you can't do it, or refuse my order, I don't think I need to let you live."
"As a subordinate, obedience is more important than strength."
Richard said to Homelander.
From a personal point of view, Madeline didn't offend him much.
But he still didn't plan to let Madeline live.
As for the reason, it's very simple.
The first is that Madeline's continued survival will affect his next plan.
The second is to test Homelander to see if he will really obey.
Although in the TV series, Homelander also killed Madeline.
But that was because Homelander felt that he was betrayed by Madeline, so he killed Madeline.
To put it simply, it is the difference between initiative and coercion.
In the TV series, Homelander took the initiative to kill Madeline.
And now, it was Richard who forced him to kill Madeline.
These are two completely different things.
After hearing Richard's words, Homelander fell silent.
After struggling for several seconds, he nodded.
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
"By the way, do it cleanly."
After saying that, Richard ignored Homelander and performed teleportation in front of Homelander, and disappeared instantly.
Super Seven Tower.
Meeting room on the 99th floor.
After returning to the meeting room, Richard came to the main seat of the conference table and sat down in the position representing the captain of the Super Seven Team.
After thinking about the next arrangements in his native seat, he stood up and left the meeting room, heading towards his residence.
As long as he was a formal member of the Super Seven, he could get a residence in the Super Seven Tower that was not inferior to the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.
Although he had just officially joined the Super Seven for less than half an hour, the Water Group still arranged a room for him.
96th floor!
Like Starlight, his room was arranged on the 96th floor of the Super Seven Tower.
After arriving in the room, he first checked the room and confirmed that there were no hidden cameras or eavesdropping devices in the room before he sat down on the sofa in the living room.
In the evening.
After having dinner in the exclusive restaurant of the Super Seven, he used teleportation to leave the Super Seven Tower.
Now that he has officially joined the Super Seven, he has initially made a name for himself.
Although he is still a long way from becoming the most famous superhero in the world, if nothing unexpected happens, it is only a matter of time before he replaces Homelander as the most famous superhero.
After leaving the Super Seven Tower, he did not go to the nightclubs frequented by superhumans to have fun, but came to the Bronx, where the security environment in New York is the worst.
Among the five districts in New York, the Bronx not only has the most parkland, but also the district with the highest crime rate.
To be precise, the crime rate in the Bronx is one of the highest in the United States.
The reason for this is very simple, because the main residents of the Bronx are blacks and Latin Americans.
After performing teleportation to the Bronx, Richard started tonight's heroic activities.
Under normal circumstances, the heroic activities of the members of the Super Seven need to be jointly analyzed by many departments of the Vought Group, such as marketing, public relations, and crime analysis, and a special photographer is arranged before they can be carried out.
To put it simply, except for a small part of the heroic activities of the Super Seven, which are really solving sudden crimes, most of the other heroic activities are a performance prepared in advance.
Although he joined the Super Seven, Richard did not intend to carry out hero activities according to the arrangement of the Vought Group.
Cooperating with the Vought Group to shoot posters and promotional videos is an essential part of publicity packaging.
In marketing terms, this is to prepare enough marketing materials.
But Richard did not intend to follow the arrangement of the Vought Group for the hero activities, but planned to do it in his own way.
As for how to do it specifically, he had a preliminary plan.
Killing to stop evil!
He did not intend to use a more complicated method, but decided to use the simplest and crudest killing to stop evil.
There is no crime that cannot be stopped by killing!
If there is, it only means that not enough people have been killed!
Unlike the Homelander and Queen Maeve, who are superheroes on the surface but are actually internet celebrities, he does not care much about the so-called income and public support rate.
The world challenge given by the system this time is to become the most famous superhero in this universe.
Let alone, the superhero in the challenge content is in double quotation marks.
Just looking at the three words "most famous", you can know that this world challenge does not require him to be loved by the general public.
Being the most famous does not mean being the most beloved!
Not long after arriving in the Bronx, Richard, floating in the air, saw his first target tonight.
A group of street thugs doing zero-dollar shopping!
After seeing this group of thugs, he first used his super vision to look around.
After confirming that there were many people and surveillance cameras around, he slowly landed at the door of the store.
As soon as he landed at the door of the store, he attracted the attention of the surrounding people and thugs.
After seeing him, the thugs who were doing zero-dollar shopping hesitated for a few seconds.
Before they decided whether to give up this zero-dollar shopping, Richard took action.
Strong wind!
Wind blade!
Richard raised his right hand and gently snapped his fingers.
Along with the sound of the snap, seven half-meter-long crescent-shaped transparent wind blades flew towards the thugs who were doing zero-dollar shopping at high speed.
Chi chi chi chi chi chi chi!
Under Richard's precise control, these seven crescent-shaped wind blades accurately cut through the necks of these gangsters and cut off their heads.
This...
After seeing Richard kill these gangsters calmly, not only the ordinary people around were frightened, but even the clerks and managers in the store were frightened.
According to the current laws of the United States, as long as the amount of the goods does not exceed 950 US dollars, it is not a felony but a misdemeanor.
Even if convicted, they will only be sentenced to a prison term of less than 6 months or a fine of 1,000 US dollars.
In more serious cases, they will only be sentenced to both.
In addition to the light sentence, various inexplicable political correctness also made American stores and supermarkets choose to sit idly by when facing zero-dollar purchases.
Even if they are purchased for zero yuan, they can get compensation from the insurance company. There is no need to take greater personal safety risks and economic risks to stop criminals who purchase for zero yuan.
It is precisely because they know this very well that the gangsters who purchase for zero yuan are fearless.
However, Richard now directly killed these gangsters who were buying at zero dollar in front of everyone.
Is he crazy?
After seeing Richard, who had just joined the Super Seven today, kill these gangsters calmly, many onlookers took out their mobile phones and filmed him and the bodies of the gangsters.
Richard didn't care about the filming of the onlookers, and went straight to one of the clerks and said, "Call the police."
What?
Hearing his words, the young clerk was stunned for a moment.
"Call the police and tell the police that a robbery has occurred here."
Richard continued.
Although he didn't know what he was thinking, the young clerk still took out his mobile phone and dialed the 911 emergency number.
After seeing the young clerk start to call the police, Richard left the store slowly and went to the next crime scene.
In the Bronx, where the crime rate is high, he discovered the second crime in less than a minute.
Unlike the zero dollar purchase just now, this crime is a burglary.
Although the form of crime has changed, his approach has not changed much.
If there is any difference, it is that he did not use strong wind to create wind blades this time, but used the freezing of blizzard.
After freezing the criminals who broke into the house into ice sculptures, the owner of the house chose to call the police without him saying anything.
In the following time.
Richard appeared in various places in the Bronx as if he would never get tired.
At the beginning, he would go to the crime scene in person.
But after only half an hour, he felt that this efficiency was too low.
After burning a group of thieves with hellfire until only their heads were left, he changed his approach slightly.
Instead of continuing to the crime scene, he came to the top of a high-rise building in the Bronx.
Use telepathy to lock the criminals who are committing crimes, and then use matter to manipulate or change matter, so that these criminals only have their heads left.
The reason why he did not completely decompose these criminals is not because complete decomposition requires more energy, but to let people know that it was done by him.
To put it simply, he wants to make the criminals with only their heads left a personal symbol of his actions.
It has to be said that the Bronx is worthy of being one of the areas with the highest crime rate in the United States.
In less than an hour, more than 100 criminals died at Richard's hands.
More importantly, these were not all the criminals tonight.
After discovering that the criminal activities in the Bronx were more rampant than he expected, Richard set himself a goal of 300 people.
Kill 300 criminals and stop!
In the eyes of others, this was a crazy goal.
But in Richard's eyes, this goal was nothing.
Because he now sensed far more than 300 criminals.
If it weren't for leaving some criminals to kill later, the number of criminals who died in his hands tonight would exceed 1,000.
Time passed by little by little.
Half an hour later, Richard, who had killed 300 criminals, stopped using his super powers such as telepathy and material manipulation, and showed a satisfied smile.
Although killing people is not a good habit, killing criminals does make people feel like they are doing justice.
After completing the small goal set for tonight, Richard used teleportation to return to the Super Seven Tower.
He did not tell anyone about his actions tonight.
But his heroic activity tonight still caused a stir on the Internet.
Since he killed the zero-dollar thug, his murder videos began to spread wildly on the Internet.
The network department of the Water Group soon discovered these videos and began to remove them in various ways.
But even so, these videos spread at an alarming speed.
Not only that, when the network department of the Water Group controlled comments and deleted videos, more videos were uploaded to the Internet.
Super Seven-Man Tower.
56th floor.
Network department.
Richard did not directly perform teleportation to return to the suite on the 96th floor, but teleported to the office of the network department.
He came here not to let the employees of the network department control comments and delete videos, but to accurately let the employees of the network department who worked overtime go home and sleep.
"All go home and sleep, I don't want to see any comments and videos deleted."
After being transmitted to the office of the network department, Richard said to the overwhelmed network department employees.
What?
After hearing his words, the employees of the network department showed unexpected expressions.
They thought Richard was here to ask them to delete the videos and comments online as soon as possible, as public opinion was fermenting further.
Unexpectedly, Richard came to ask them to go home after get off work.
What on earth did he want to do?
Is this a new promotion plan formulated by the marketing department?
Questions popped up in the minds of these employees one after another.
