Chapter 1613 From Now on It Belongs to Me
Homelander found Madeline in the vice president's office and said with a gloomy face: "That 'Angel' has been very popular recently. It has risen to the second place in the rankings. Are you going to let him replace me?"
Madeline knows Homelander's character very well. His superpowers are very strong. His personality is very stable outside, but his real personality is a bit childish and needs to be coaxed.
Madeline went over and hugged Homelander, "Why do you think so? That is absolutely impossible. You are unique and no one can replace you. Pushing 'Angel' is just to make money for us."
"Don't worry, I have asked the planning department to formulate a new publicity plan for your Super Seven. Your publicity will come up during this period. You are still the most powerful superpowers in this country, like a savior."
After leaving the vice president's office, Homelander saw the locomotive in the combat command room. At this time, there were only two of them here. Homelander asked: "Have those No. 5 compounds been taken by those terrorist organizations?"
The locomotive smiled He smiled, "Of course, it was sold at a good price."
A playful look flashed across Homelander's face, "When those terrorist organizations cultivate new superpowers, they will definitely wreak havoc, and people will think that we superheroes are the ones who can really protect them, and then it's time for us to take action."
"As you said, only when people are in danger will they know who is the real protector. Recently, that 'angel' just saved a little girl with autism, and was praised as a real angel. He climbed over our heads. Looking at his pretentious appearance, I just feel sick." The locomotive said with a pout.
Homelander snorted coldly, and a cold flash flashed in his eyes, "I will find a chance to kill him and won't let him run rampant for too long."
After the two chatted, they left the combat laboratory together, but they didn't notice that in an inconspicuous corner of the room, there seemed to be a grain of dust on the wall, which recorded the entire conversation between the two.
After half a month of treatment, little Mela's autism has been greatly alleviated. Now she can basically communicate normally with the people who take care of her. It may take a long time for Mela to recover like an ordinary child, but now she is developing in the best direction.
Mela's parents came to pick her up and Jiang Hao came to see her off before leaving. The couple expressed their most sincere gratitude to Jiang Hao.
In the past half month, Jiang Hao has become a household name superstar. The company has formulated various publicity plans for him, and Jiang Hao has also received a large number of advertisements. He is everywhere on TV, street billboards, newspapers, subways, buses, and various selling products. He has now become the most eye-catching traffic star of Water Company.
During this period, Jiang Hao and Xingguang also had two gatherings. After this period of growth, Xingguang has grown a lot from a simple girl.
After she beat Shenhai that day, she was not fired for this, but the original plan to put him and Shenhai in a group had to be shelved, and Xingguang's partner became a transparent person.
However, during the meeting today, Xingguang told Jiang Hao something. The invisible man had been missing for three days. Now the company has blocked the news and is trying its best to find him, but there is no clue yet.
Jiang Hao immediately thought of the plot in the TV series. Wouldn't that guy be caught by the black robe patrol team?
He remembered that the invisible man was tortured by those guys for several days and was finally killed by them. The reason why the invisible man can be invisible is that he can change the material of his body's epidermis into a material called "carbon super-element", and his skin will become as hard as diamond.
Those guys couldn't kill him at first, and finally used a trick, which was to put a bomb into his back door and directly explode the guy.
The invisible man died tragically like that.
Jiang Hao didn't plan to care about these. He just wanted the black robe patrol team to muddy the water and attract some attention. As for how they did it, he didn't want to intervene.
During this period, he set up cameras in many places and filmed many videos of superheroes. These guys are like other stars. They look glamorous on the surface, but in fact, they live a decadent life behind the scenes. They are not as noble, kind and simple as advertised.
They drink, take drugs, abuse plastic, play with young models, and do everything. In their chats, we can know that they have no protection for the people at all. They even think that they are high above and ordinary people are just ordinary people. The reason they are willing to do those things is just to be superheroes, enjoy flowers and applause, and to become famous and make money.
Jiang Hao believes that if these contents are released, countless people will explode, and these superheroes will fall from the altar one by one.
In a high-end manor somewhere in New York, Madeline is meeting an old man in his sixties. The old man is Greg House, a major shareholder of Water Company. He is one of the founders of Water Company and owns 27% of Water Company's shares. He also has many other industries and is worth more than 60 billion US dollars.
However, Greg House's current condition looks very bad. He is lying on the bed, his face is very haggard, and there are several tubes inserted in his body.
"Madeline, that angel has the ability to heal diseases. Can he cure my cancer?" Greg House asked.
Madeline shook her head. "It seems not. I asked him specifically, and he said that his current ability is not enough to cure cancer."
The old man seemed to have heard something, and his eyes lit up, "That means that if he improves his strength, he might be able to help me heal him, right?"
"Maybe, I'm not sure." Madeline could naturally guess what the old man wanted to do.
"Then let him try it and give him the No. 5 compound." The old man said.
"However, his current development is very good. He has now become a blessing to patients with depression and autism in the United States and even around the world. There are more than 200 million people in this group. If everyone can become his fans, it will make money for the company. Withdrawing countless amounts of money, I have calculated that I can earn about 3 billion to 4 billion a year." Madeleine said.
Now that Angel is the company's new cash cow, she doesn't want him to take risks yet.
The old man looked at Madeleine with an angry look on his face, "It doesn't matter if I make money. I am suffering from illness all the time now. The doctor told me that with the current treatment methods, if the situation is good, I can only live for 3 years at most." Years, if it’s not good, I might not survive even one year.”
"I have tens of billions of wealth, but these can't save my life at all. I don't want to die. Let me tell you, I don't want to die. I am only 63 years old. If I am healthy, I can live for thirty years instead of three damn years." "
"If I die, what will I do with this wealth? It will be useless at all. Give him compound No. 5 and let him grow up. I will let him save my life."
The old man said in a commanding tone.
Although Madeleine is very powerful in the company, in the end she is just a high-level wage earner who has to obey the orders of her boss.
Back at the company, Madeline asked her assistant to call Jiang Hao over. Jiang Hao was currently exercising in the gym. He wiped off his sweat, took a shower, and came to the vice president's office.
When Madeline saw Jiang Hao, she smiled, came over and hugged Jiang Hao gently, showing her greatest respect and love for Jiang Hao.
"any drinks?"
"Champagne."
Madeline poured each of them a glass of champagne.
"Angel, how have you been feeling these days? Have you adapted to becoming a superstar? You know, only in Watt Company can you become a superstar so quickly, earn so much money, and enjoy this honor."
Although Madeleine said these words with a smile, Jiang Hao could tell that Madeleine was telling him that she had all this because of the company's help.
"So I have always been very grateful to Walter Company, and also very grateful to you, President Madeleine." Jiang Hao said humbly.
Madeline paused, looked at Jiang Hao and said, "You are now a superstar in the company. We have some special reward policies for superstars. Do you want to know what they are?"
Jiang Hao's heart moved.
"Of course I do."
Madeleine put down her glass and said: "You superheroes need energy if you want to grow. Although I don't understand this very well, the company has a professional team in charge of this. They have developed some energy potions. After you take them, , can quickly improve the strength, how about it, do you want it? "
After Madeline finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Hao with a smile. In her expectation, Jiang Hao would humbly beg her for the potion like everyone else.
After hearing Madeline's words, Jiang Hao did not show any excitement, but was very calm. This surprised Madeline, but Jiang Hao's next words surprised her even more.
"No, actually I have not thought about improving my strength quickly. My current ability is enough. I hope to slowly experience the joy and experience of growth in the future."
Refused.
He actually refused!
And slowly experience the joy of growing up.
This was completely different from what she had expected. He never expected that Jiang Hao would choose to refuse. Madeline's face darkened slightly and she looked at Jiang Hao and said: "Jack, you have to know that your growth is also a requirement of the company. Only The faster you grow, the higher your position will be, do you understand?”
Jiang Hao shook his head, "Everything has pros and cons. I don't think it is beneficial to grow quickly with the help of external forces. I prefer to grow through my own efforts."
Madeline was a little crazy. If I hadn't been forced by that old guy House, do you think I would be willing to give you the precious No. 5 compound?
"Jack, this is the company's decision. If you don't obey, the company will ban you and make you lose everything you have now, including fame, money, and the future." Madeleine said in a serious tone.
This was already the most serious threat, and Madeleine believed that the young man in front of her would succumb.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Hao shook his head again.
"I don't want to take medicine randomly. Rapidly improving my strength may have side effects." Jiang Hao said.
Madeleine was a little angry: "The potions produced by the company are very mature and are used by many superheroes in our company."
Jiang Hao thought for a while and finally said: "Why don't you show me the production process, so that I can have a base in my mind so that I can make a judgement."
Jiang Hao has always been obedient, but now I know that he is an extremely stubborn person. If it weren't for House's order, Madeline would have punished this disobedient young man, but now she can only compromise.
"Okay, I'll take you to the drug production base. Anyway, your use of drugs needs to be done in the laboratory." Madeline said.
A fully enclosed RV was driving on the road. Jiang Hao and Madeline were sitting across from each other. The windows were sealed so tightly that they couldn't see what was going on outside.
But this couldn't help Jiang Hao. He had a living map in his mind. He could clearly analyze where the car went, when it turned, and even where it deliberately went around a few times to interfere with judgment. Finally, the car drove into a In the underground parking lot of a building on the edge of New York City, they did not get out of the car, but sat in the car directly down to the ground, and the car door was opened again.
After walking out of the elevator, he saw a long white corridor. Madeleine used her iris to open the security door. Jiang Hao saw a large laboratory. In the laboratory, countless researchers wearing white fully enclosed dust-proof suits were going back and forth. Walking around and conducting various experiments.
Madeline took Jiang Hao inside and walked all the way inside. At this moment, Jiang Hao's expression also moved, because the moment he walked into the laboratory, he suddenly felt an energy form coming from inside to outside. Distribute.
This energy is very special, but Jiang Hao has a feeling that this energy is very similar to the energy of the Warcraft crystal core or the monster inner elixir that he has come into contact with in other worlds, but it is different, and more importantly, this energy is very special. The energy is very powerful, much more powerful than any crystal core inner elixir energy he has come into contact with before.
Madeleine took him into a laboratory and took out a thumb-sized glass bottle from a refrigerator. There was a bottle of blue liquid in the bottle. Madeleine introduced: "This is the super liquid I told you." Ability-enhancing potions, administered by direct injection, will stimulate the energy of superpowers and allow you to grow rapidly. "
"This medicine is actually very safe now. As long as you don't inject it excessively, it will hardly cause any harm to the awakened ones who already have superpowers. Are you relieved now?" Madeline said.
"I still want to know how these potions are produced." Jiang Hao said.
Madeline nodded helplessly, "Okay, come with me."
After passing through two security gates, Jiang Hao's feelings became clearer each time he got closer. Finally, the last iron door opened. In the center of the room in the laboratory, there was a glass jar as thick as a person, filled with liquid. In the middle of the liquid, there was a polygonal diamond-shaped gem that was larger than a man's fist floating. The gem itself was blue and emitted a dark light, so all the surrounding liquid it illuminated turned blue.
Madeleine walked into the glass jar, looked at the blue gem inside, and said: "We don't know where this gem comes from, but we can be sure that it is definitely not from the earth. It contains powerful energy, so it gives He named it the Cosmic Energy Stone.”
"After decades of research, the company has gradually mastered the use of the cosmic energy stone. Inject some liquid, and after the energy of the cosmic energy stone is emitted, after soaking for two years, the liquid inside will gradually contain energy, and then refine it. That's you The blue potions we just saw can enhance energy when injected into the body of a person with super powers.”
Looking at the energy stone, Jiang Hao was pleasantly surprised. The information about the human body modification genetic fluid and the cosmic energy stone that he had seen before from Batman now all matched, and they were right in front of him.
Jiang Hao placed his hand on the surface of the glass jar, seemingly admiring the blue gem inside, but secretly running his spiritual power, trying to absorb this energy to see if he could use it for himself. After this try, Jiang Hao was pleasantly surprised. .
Because after this energy was inhaled into Jiang Hao's body, it rotated in a circle and quickly transformed into pure spiritual power, which was injected into his Dantian Golden Pill.
Just a simple test, Jiang Hao can already confirm that this thing is useful to him, and it will be of great use.
He looked at the blue crystal and thought to himself, this thing is called the cosmic energy stone in the DC world, and it might be the fairy crystal in the Xianxia world.
No matter what it is, it is useful to him anyway. Jiang Hao has already made a decision in his heart. The crystal in front of him belongs to him from now on.
