Chapter 158 Billy Butcher
Chapter 158 Billy Butcher
Kara curled her lips and leaned in Ling Yuan's arms without saying anything. Ling Yuan didn't say anything either, but just rubbed Kara's head with a smile. If you really want to talk about it, the darkness of the DC universe is not much less than that of the Boys.
Maeve shrugged. She tried to persuade Ling Yuan, but failed. Although she was extremely disappointed with the Seven and the Water Group, she still naively believed that these guys should be judged by the law.
"Then...how do I tell Madeline about this when I get back?"
"Just say...you didn't see me, I should go out, come visit me another day..." Ling Yuan thought for a while and spoke.
Although entering the Water Group and joining the Super Seven is a system task, Ling Yuan does not intend to complete it so quickly because the layout has not been completely completed. Even if Ling Yuan is anxious to complete the stage task, he may not be able to complete the copy task on time.
"Fine!"
Maeve stood up and prepared to leave. Ling Yuan put Kara on the sofa. He had a good impression of Maeve, so it was necessary to at least see her off to show his kindness and goodwill.
Maeve walked to the door, hesitated for a while, turned around and said, "Ling Yuan... If there is a day when the Vought Group and the Super Seven fall, please let me see it..."
After saying that, Maeve opened the door and left Ling Yuan's house without waiting for Ling Yuan's response, closing the door behind her. Ling Yuan looked at Maeve's back as she left, frowning slightly, until he vaguely sensed something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" Kara walked behind Ling Yuan, put her arms around his waist, and rested her head on his back.
It was not until Kara hugged Ling Yuan that Ling Yuan realized something was wrong. He had never noticed such a big problem before, and only now began to figure it out.
"Kara... I remember you said that this world doesn't need superheroes, but so-called superheroes were born, right?"
"Right? What's wrong?"
Kara was slightly startled, she looked up at Ling Yuan, her beautiful eyes full of strangeness. She did say that, but she didn't think there was anything wrong. But it was only at this moment that Ling Yuan really noticed the problem.
Ling Yuan's face was grim. Just at that moment, when Maeve stood up, he clearly felt a strong sense moving away from him. Before that, Ling Yuan had no idea that there was a powerful being watching him.
Logically speaking, if the "darkness" of this world is really so normal, superheroes will not be born. Once a being that transcends the limits of mortals is born, it means that this world is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Many times, corruption does not only exist on the surface, and nothing can guarantee that there will be no problems "inside", so the world of The Boys may not be as simple as it seems.
Seeing Ling Yuan's ugly expression, Kara realized that Ling Yuan had noticed something. She hurried to Ling Yuan, held Ling Yuan's face, and stared into his eyes.
"Tell me, Yuan, what happened?"
Ling Yuan came back to his senses, looked at Kara gently, raised his hand and rubbed Kara's head, trying his best to act as if nothing had happened.
"It's okay... Kara, do you want to go rest for a while?"
Seeing Ling Yuan's nonchalant look, Kara was puzzled but did not continue to ask. The two returned to their room to catch up on their nap, and did not get up from bed until noon.
"Is there anything to do today?" Kara sat at the dining table, yawning and stuffing food into her mouth. She just felt very tired and wanted to sleep.
"Don't you have the physique of a Kryptonian? You're just not good enough?" Ling Yuan looked at Kara's drowsy appearance and teased with a smile.
Kara rolled her eyes at him, waved her hand and said, "That's for ordinary people. Your physical fitness is really too terrifying..."
"Then why do you keep asking me to increase the intensity..."
"Stop talking!" Kara looked at Ling Yuan fiercely and said. After waking up and listening to what happened last night, Kara felt that she couldn't face it.
"Okay! You stay at home and rest today. I'll go out and take care of some things!"
Listening to Ling Yuan's words, Kara nodded. She really didn't want to move at all. Who would have thought that Ling Yuan could be so terrifying? Even her physique couldn't stand it. As for whether Ling Yuan would be in danger or not, Kara believed in Ling Yuan's strength. Just based on his abnormal physical fitness, Kara didn't believe that anyone could hurt Ling Yuan.
After walking out of the house, Ling Yuan completely let go of his senses. Compared to quietly exploring his own powerful aura as before, Ling Yuan decided to prioritize completing his goal.
The other party has the ability to detect him silently, and also has the ability to avoid his detection. Even when he withdrew his perception, he felt it for a moment, which was intentional.
Therefore, instead of finding the person who is investigating you, it is better to prioritize finding the person you want to find and complete your goal.
Butcher was sitting in his car next to a park. He was looking at the children playing in the park with dull eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Butcher originally wanted to use what happened downstairs in the Water Building as evidence to punish Homelander, but the video of Homelander being beaten up quickly went viral. An unexpected mysterious man appeared, completely disrupting Billy Butcher's plan, and even the part where he punished the robbers later pushed the mysterious man to the forefront.
Now the Vought Group has dumped all the limelight, whether good or bad, on the mysterious man, and the things that Homelander did have been guided by public opinion and disappeared without a trace. Although there are still occasional articles or videos about Homelander, they disappear almost instantly.
Butcher was now extremely annoyed. He really wanted to know the identity of this mysterious man and whether he would become a tool for the Water Group to make money. However, the information about the mysterious man was protected by the Water Group this time, and even he could not get any information about him.
At this moment, his car window was knocked, and Butcher rolled down the window impatiently. Ling Yuan was standing outside the car window, bending over, with a pair of sunglasses on his nose, a black windbreaker with a white shirt and black trousers, and his long black hair fluttering in the wind.
"Would you mind chatting together, Mr. Billy Butcher?" Ling Yuan pulled down his sunglasses and looked at Butcher in the car with a smile.
Butcher was in a state of confusion. He had recognized Ling Yuan as the mysterious man who was very popular on the Internet. He never dreamed that before he could find Ling Yuan, he would be found by Ling Yuan instead.
Butcher nodded blankly at Ling Yuan. Ling Yuan smiled slightly, opened the passenger door, put on his sunglasses, looked around, and confirmed that no one was following him before slowly getting into Butcher's car.
Butcher didn't say a word throughout the whole process. He was still thinking about Ling Yuan. Now he suddenly saw him in person, and his brain was in a state of shutdown for a moment.
