The Boys world.
99th floor of the Water Tower, conference room.
"Great, is there anyone else who would like to share their recent experiences?"
"If not, then let's adjourn the meeting."
These two sentences, almost one after the other, were spoken by two different people.
The two people speaking were sitting in the middle of the conference table.
There used to be only one chair in this spot, but now two people sit side by side.
The man, with blond hair and blue eyes, appeared to be middle-aged and wore a blue bodysuit with a cape adorned with stars and stripes; it was Homelander.
The other person had black hair and black eyes, and looked like a college student who had just entered society. He was wearing a red trench coat that resembled a military uniform, and it was Li Yuan.
Currently, they are all captains of the Super Seven.
Or rather, they are both co-captains of the Super Seven.
The current Super Seven is no longer like the original team, which had only one captain and one leader.
This dual-command system has long since passed the trial phase and has become a stable and reliable cornerstone for the Super Seven.
Upon hearing Li Yuan adjourn the meeting, Maeve and Starlight, who were sitting on his side, immediately stood up and left the meeting room.
Meanwhile, Locomotive, Deep Sea, and Black on Homelander's side all turned to look at Homelander's expression before getting up and leaving one after another.
After they had all left, Li Yuan pushed off with his foot, causing the chair to rotate 90 degrees so that it faced the people of the motherland.
Seeing the gloomy look on Homelander's face, he smiled slightly: "It seems you have something you want to tell me?"
"Say whatever you want. We are the co-captains of the Super Seven, so we can discuss anything."
"Don't dawdle, it'll be lunchtime soon."
Li Yuan gestured with his chin to indicate the time on the big screen, then looked at Homelander again.
Homelander frowned and hesitated for a long while before taking a deep breath and slowly saying, "Ryan's studies—"
"Studies? Aside from math, his grades in other subjects are quite good." Before Homelander could finish speaking, Li Yuan interrupted him as if suddenly realizing something, "You don't mean you want me to tutor Ryan in math, do you?"
"What math?! I mean, Ryan doesn't need to waste his time on those damn online classes at all!" Homelander suddenly raised his voice.
"My God, he spends six hours a day in meaningless classes! Are you trying to turn my son into a bookworm?!"
Li Yuan stared at Homelander for two seconds before saying with a strange expression, "Eight o'clock in the morning to three in the afternoon, isn't that a normal school time?"
"Both Mr. Edgar and I, Lane's godfather, felt that Lane should spend more time with people his own age."
"His mother raised him alone, which made Ryan somewhat unsure how to interact with others, and that's not good."
"Hmm—I know, it might be hard for someone like you who didn't have a childhood to understand."
"But this is the kind of life a normal child should have. You wouldn't want him to live like you did when you were a child, would you?"
"I—" Homelander was momentarily speechless.
Li Yuanchong waved his hand, stood up and walked towards the conference room door: "Alright, this was all decided by our president. If you have any questions, go find him."
After glancing at Li Yuan's departing figure, Zuguoren gritted his teeth, pouted, and turned his chair to look out the window with a gloomy expression, seemingly lost in thought.
In a room that was very spacious and almost empty.
Ryan sat in the only chair, wearing a black helmet that covered his eyes and a pair of high-tech-looking gloves on each hand.
From his perspective, he was sitting in a classroom, looking at the blackboard not far away, listening to the teacher on the podium explaining the knowledge points.
-
However, the female teacher is not a real person, but a cartoon character wearing glasses.
Around him, there were nearly twenty other classmates dressed as various cartoon characters.
"Alright, that's all for today's class. Remember to do your homework carefully. See you tomorrow."
On the platform, the cartoon-like female teacher waved to the students below and then vanished in a flash.
Goodbye, Ryan.
"See you tomorrow."
"Bye-Bye."
The students sitting around him greeted Ryan one after another.
"Goodbye, see you tomorrow," Ryan replied with a smile.
After the people around him disappeared one by one, he reached out and took off the black helmet on his head, and his vision returned to the real world.
He let out a soft breath, stood up, took off both gloves, and placed them on the chair along with the helmet.
Then, he jogged away from the empty room.
"Hey Ryan, how was school today?" Outside the door, Li Yuan, who seemed to have been waiting in the hallway for a while, handed over a bottle of water.
"Thank you, Godfather." Ryan took it, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down a small portion of it.
Then, she smiled and said, "A new transfer student came to the school today. She is very cheerful and quickly became friends with many people."
"That should include you, right?" Li Yuan smiled and started walking, gesturing for him to follow.
"Of course, the teacher let her sit next to me. I was the first classmate she got to know well." Ryan nodded and followed Li Yuan toward the elevator.
"During the break, she told me a lot about her old school."
bite-
The elevator doors opened, and Li Yuan led Ryan inside. After pressing the floor button, he said, "Looks like it's a wonderful day. But Ryan, after your workout later, make sure you finish your homework, especially the math problems."
Upon hearing Li Yuan mention this, Ryan's interest waned considerably, but he still obediently replied, "Yes, Godfather."
After exiting the elevator, the two entered a room with a high ceiling and a very spacious interior.
The surrounding walls were very thick and seemed to be made of some special material, giving them an incredibly solid feel. "OK, Ryan, now it's time to stretch your body a bit." Li Yuan smiled and gestured for them to proceed.
Ryan, who was standing not far away, took a deep breath, and after a moment of serious contemplation, he shakily and unsteadily flew up, hovering about one meter above the ground.
"Come on, attack!" Li Yuan beckoned.
He has repeated this process countless times.
After Ryan was brought to the Water Tower, he quickly adapted to his new life.
First, with the blessings of all parties, he and Li Yuancheng became godfather and godson.
Then began my online class life, which ran from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Just like other children of this age, they go to school from Monday to Friday, have a lunch break from 11:30 am to 1 pm, and rest normally on Saturdays and Sundays.
After school, from 3 pm to 5 pm, they will train in superpowers.
For safety reasons, his instructors were either from the same country or Li Yuan, to prevent him from accidentally harming others.
After that, it's dinner time. After finishing his homework, he can play freely.
After a period of regular study and life, Ryan has now overcome his past trauma and is no different from other children his age. He can now communicate and socialize normally.
Ryan's speed gradually increased as he flew low over the empty training room, eventually creating a gust of wind as he crashed into Li Yuanlang.
call-
Li Yuan calmly took a step to the side, easily dodging Ryan's flying attack.
He then turned around, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Speed up! Fly faster!"
"Laser Eye! Where's your laser eye?!"
"Don't overthink it, attack with all your might!"
Two hours passed quickly, and Ryan landed slowly on the ground, taking a few breaths and wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Very good. I can feel that you have gained more control over your superpower. Keep training, and one day you will be able to completely control it," Li Yuan encouraged.
"You can rest for a while before leaving. I have some things to do, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, Li Yuan left the training room and took the elevator back to the 99th floor.
Soon, he found himself in a room filled with bookshelves and books.
In this room, which resembled a library, there were already two women present: Maeve and Starlight.
The two sat at a table, each holding a book, but seemed somewhat distracted while reading.
-
Li Yuan sat down in the empty chair next to the table, placed a hardcover book on the table, looked at Maeve and Starlight, and said, "Then let's begin this week's book sharing."
"Today, I'd like to share my thoughts on reading with you."
"The book I've been reading recently is the autobiography of a soldier boy."
"As you all probably know, Soldier Boy was the most powerful and greatest hero of the last century."
"Before Homelander, he was the symbol of the Vought Corporation."
"he----"
"Ultimately, he saved millions of lives by resolving the crisis at the Ohio nuclear power plant through his own sacrifice."
"Such a spirit is undoubtedly something that each of us should learn from."
Li Yuan took a sip of water to relieve his thirst after talking for more than twenty minutes.
He put down his water glass, glanced at Maeve and Starlight across from him, who seemed rather impatient, and slowly exhaled, saying, "Alright, that concludes this week's book sharing session."
As he spoke, he pushed the hardcover book on the table in front of him forward: "Meve, you can borrow this book to read for now. Try to understand the spirit it contains. Good luck!"
After saying this, he stood up, bid farewell to the two men, and left the reading room.
"Is this what a college graduate looks like? They love reading so much." Starlight shook her head and turned on her phone.
Maeve frowned slightly, grabbed the hardcover book that Li Yuan had pushed to her, and casually flipped through it.
Suddenly, she seemed to see something, and her pupils contracted sharply: "BCLRED?"
Superhuman Affairs Bureau.
Wearing a sharp suit and carrying a briefcase, Hughie said goodbye to his colleagues and superiors and walked out of the office.
This government agency was established by Victoria Newman, a congresswoman who had previously attempted to accuse the Vought Group of using Compound V.
After deciding to leave Butcher's dangerous gang, Hughie joined them and became Newman's highly valued second-in-command.
As Hughie let out a soft breath and was about to go home after get off work, he suddenly saw a man following his boss, Newman.
He frowned, recalling that this person had come to the office earlier that day, pointed to Newman's photo on the wall, insisted that her name was "Nadia," and wanted to see her.
However, they were unsuccessful and were chased away by security personnel.
-
Seeing that he was still persistently following Newman home from get off work, Hughie was afraid that something had happened to his boss, so he quickly chased after him.
However, what he saw next almost made him scream.
Newman seemed to really know the man and embraced him.
But then, the two started arguing and fighting!
It was only at this moment that Hughie realized that both this man and Newman were actually superhumans!
The Director of the Bureau of Superhuman Affairs, who advocates for controlling superhumans, is actually a superhuman!
How ironic!
Moreover, Newman was actually the one who had dozens of heads blown off at the hearing!
In the end, Newman used his superpowers to blow the man's head off and turn him into a pile of mangled pieces.
It wasn't until she had been gone for a while that Hughie dared to catch his breath. He then rushed home and told his girlfriend, Starlight, what had happened.
"Those two mentioned the Red River," Hughie thought, recalling the conversation between Newman and the man.
Starlight used his resources to investigate and discovered that Red River actually referred to a welfare institution under a subsidiary of the Water Group.
After discussing it, the two decided to go there together to find out what was going on.
the other side.
Butcher was sitting in his office, drinking alone in silence.
Suddenly, Maeve, dressed as an ordinary person, pushed open the door and entered.
Since their previous mission to fight Homelander and Storm and rescue Lane, the two have maintained close contact.
"Take a look at this." Maeve took a document out of her bag and handed it to Butcher.
Butcher casually flipped through the pages: "Soldier Boy?"
Maeve nodded: "Keep reading."
After quickly skimming through it, Butcher noticed the key point: "What is BCLRED?"
Maeve smiled slightly: "It might be some kind of weapon; legend has it that this is what truly killed the soldier boy."
"This thing can kill Soldier Boy? He was with Homelander—" Butcher said, then suddenly realized something and looked at Maeve.
Maeve smiled and nodded: "That's right, if we can find this thing, maybe we can use it—to take down Homelander!"
