Page 392

The Lamplighter is the black glove of the Vought Corporation, handling many shady dealings for them.

It was for this reason that he was targeted by former CIA Director Mallory, who used this as leverage to blackmail Lamplighter into gathering intelligence on Vought Corporation.

However, the lamplighter, unwilling to be controlled, turned around and tried to kill Mallory, but accidentally killed several of Mallory's grandchildren, and felt deeply guilty about it.

Therefore, the lamplighter sought to leave the team under the guise of retirement.

Judging by the timeline, it's only recently.

However, the Vought Corporation will not allow the Lamplighter, who knows too much inside information, to retire perfectly.

In the original story, after the Lamplighter suddenly left the group, he was sent by Vought International to guard a mental hospital affiliated with a global health organization that they funded.

On the surface, this mental hospital is a non-profit organization that provides assistance to mental patients.

In reality, this hospital, called Sage's Jungle, was used by the Vought Corporation to detain test subjects who had been injected with Compound V.

Among them are some extremely dangerous individuals, including Cindy, who possesses explosive abilities.

"certainly..."

Aaron changed the subject, looking towards the door, and said in a low voice, "If you really can't wait, then we can speed things up."

"How can we speed things up?" Annie's heart skipped a beat.

"Why not just kill a few people?"

Aaron smiled and said something that terrified Annie.

"Isn't this a bit much? They're superheroes, I mean, they're incredibly powerful, and they're embodiments of justice."

Anne was horrified by this crazy suggestion.

She wanted to become one of the Seven Giants, but she never intended to act recklessly.

"An embodiment of justice? Are you sure?"

Aaron said meaningfully, "You may regard them as embodiments of justice, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will regard you as one of their own."

"what?"

Annie was stunned.

Aaron nodded and said, "They're here!"

With that, Aaron casually waved his hand, completely healing Annie's body and bringing her back to full health.

Gwen and Firecracker also came out after hearing the news.

then,

The entire hotel fell into absolute silence.

"Feel it?"

As Aaron turned his head, the television hanging on the wall next to him turned on automatically with a whirring sound.

The screen was playing a trailer for "Invisible Agents 2" when a flash of light appeared, and the view switched to a third-person perspective.

It was a 3D view of the hotel where Aaron and the others were!

This place is located at the hotel entrance, and people are constantly running out quietly.

The Super Seven, who should have been appearing on variety shows, commercial performances, and advertisements, are now appearing together on screen.

They were smiling and greeting everyone who came out.

"This hotel..."

"Isn't this right here?"

Anne was very puzzled.

"That's strange. Even if there was a problem, shouldn't they have notified me first?"

The town of Des Moines is Anne's base of operations.

Theoretically speaking, even if there is a crisis, she should be notified first.

The Super Seven will only be deployed if the problem cannot be solved or there is not enough time.

Firecracker's face turned pale and then red. "Damn it, why didn't the hotel notify us to evacuate? We're in the presidential suite!"

"I'm going to file a complaint against them and show them what happens when you offend a distinguished guest!"

Gwen's expression turned grave. "Haven't you realized yet? They're targeting us!"

Firecracker was taken aback. She wasn't stupid; she just hadn't expected that she, as a fellow superhero, would be targeted by the Seven.

And it's such a star-studded lineup.

Logically speaking, when the Super Seven go on a mission, shouldn't they go out in pairs? Why are there seven of them right away?!

Annie asked, bewildered, "Targeting us? But we didn't do anything! Is Kun guilty too?"

At this point, Annie gave Aaron a strange look. Had the truth come out?

Or... should she go out and explain to them that it was all her own choice?

Firecracker was also suspicious, but then she thought of an impossible possibility, and her expression changed drastically.

"No way, are they planning to forcibly take you away? That old bitch from Medellin, at her age, still trying to seduce a young girl, she's shameless!"

Annie pressed for details, and Firecracker told her what had happened.

When Anne learned that Medellin had tried to sexually harass Aaron but was rejected by Firecracker, her worldview was shattered.

Medellin is the CEO of the Super Seven. Just because he refused the unspoken rules, he sent out the Super Seven to force him.

Wow, that's terrifying!

Wait a minute, wouldn't I be making a huge profit?

What even the high and mighty Medellín longed for but could not obtain, he used ruthlessly.

Gwen shook her head. "Something's not right. They don't seem to be trying to take us away; it's more like..."

"Kill us!"

Aaron picked up the conversation, "Clearly, they didn't come here peacefully, but were planning to kill."

The scene then shifts again, this time showing Homelander being interviewed by the media.

"Yes, I'm sure that in the presidential suite of this hotel right in front of us, there is a pair of extremely dangerous, super-powered fugitives. They are a pair of butchers, extremely evil, and have killed countless people."

"Once all the innocent people have been safely evacuated, we will carry out justice. I will personally execute him to safeguard the safety of Maine!"

"Oh, you mean the Guardian of Maine is also in the presidential suite? Perhaps she was coerced? Her life was threatened!"

"What? Florida's superhero firecrackers are here too? Oh, that's not good news. They're all beautiful women, but that's also the scariest thing."

"That man has a terrifying ability to seduce women; any woman in front of him will lose her mind and become an inflatable doll to be manipulated."

"I think... Firecrackers and Starlight have been captured and become criminals..."

"Wait, you're saying this sounds like a certain series from Japan? Oh, I've never heard of it, I have no idea, don't talk nonsense..."

"Rest assured, as long as they don't succumb to evil... I will do everything I can to ensure her safety, but only as much as possible."

"I am indeed very powerful, the most powerful superhero, but you know, some enemies also have superpowers. They are evil and vicious, and anything can happen before we subdue and kill them."

"No one understands those villains possessed by Satan better than me. If you encounter anything similar, you can contact Vought Corporation at any time. I am always ready to protect you!"

The man from the motherland flashed his white teeth, his smile sunny and kind, reciting technical terms he had probably said countless times in a very formulaic manner.

Firecracker was shocked. "No way! Just because we refused Medellin, she's going to kill us?!"

Anne couldn't believe that was the reason; it sounded too outrageous!

Aaron remained calm. "Have you forgotten the true nature of Homelanders? I told you before."

Suddenly, Firecracker recalled what Aaron had said a few days ago.

Aaron once said that if he joined the Seven, he would be assassinated by Homelander.

I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but it turned out to be too conservative.

They haven't even joined yet, but the Homelanders have already seen them and want to take action first!

Hiss~ The Seven Giants have fallen so low!

Annie couldn't keep up with the three's train of thought and pressed for more information.

After the firecrackers were relayed once,

Anne exclaimed that it was impossible.

The people of the motherland neither smoke nor drink, and always maintain a kind smile, like a saint.

It turns out he's actually quite petty.

Anne thought of something and murmured, "Wait, if Homelander is that kind of person, then the rest..."

Firecracker couldn't help but curse as she thought about what Aaron had shown her: "Forgive me for swearing, but you bastards!"

She knew she wasn't a good person, but at least she had her bottom line.

However, those bastards from the Homelander have absolutely no bottom line!

He's a hundred times worse than her!

Even having witnessed countless truths, she couldn't help but feel that she was absolutely too extreme and too much of a bastard.

Annie's mouth dropped open. "No way, they're all scum?"

Are the seven seemingly glamorous giants actually a bunch of bastards?

So what about her, who always wanted to be one of the Seven? Isn't she becoming a bastard?

Annie was dumbfounded.

When dreams and reality truly collided, the truth revealed left her breathless.

She couldn't believe that the seven giants were all gilded on the outside but rotten on the inside.

Anne looked at Aaron, subconsciously unwilling to believe the firecrackers, after all, the latter had recently sold her off and pushed her around.

"Unbelievable? Let them tell you themselves."

Aaron gestured for them to sit down and wait for the other guests in the hotel to be evacuated.

At this moment,

A call came into Firecracker Mobile.

From inside came Medellin's furious voice.

"You all leave immediately! I'll have Queen Maeve support you and get to Manhattan right away. Homelander has gone mad!"

"Especially Aaron, you must protect him. Only I can save you now!"

"Bichi!"

Firecracker only listened for a few words before hanging up without hesitation.

However, as soon as the call to 960 ended, another call came in from an unknown number.

Liu Yiqi; Erba Shisi [Ba] firecrackers immediately answered the phone and cursed, "Fuck you, get out of here!"

"I think this is our first time communicating?"

A strange female voice came from the other end of the line. Firecracker's lips twitched, and he looked at Aaron, "She's looking for you."

"Who?"

"CIA Director, Mallory."

Aaron raised an eyebrow upon hearing the name, took the phone, and heard a steady female voice on the other end.

“Mr. Aaron? I didn’t expect you to have such influence that Medellin actually came to me for help.”

"Your current situation is very unsafe. Perhaps... we can cooperate."

"Don't rush to refuse. Although I am the CIA's deputy director, I don't get along with the Super Seven. Strictly speaking, I wish they were all dead!"

"I can help you, but afterwards, I hope you can help me too. Believe me, right now only I can save you."

Aaron chuckled, glanced in a certain direction, and saw a woman with gray hair, resembling an iron lady, on another building.
