Chapter 12 Regular Meeting of the Seven-Member Team

Homelander didn't look at Kevin for long. After noticing Starlight, he turned his gaze away from Kevin and turned to Starlight.

"Wow, I think you are Starlight. Welcome to join the Seven."

"Thank you, Captain..."

"You can just call me Homelander in the future."

Homelander smiled kindly, which should have left a lot of good impressions on Starlight.

Kevin looked aside without saying anything, and Homelander didn't pay attention to him, as if his gaze at him at the beginning was just an illusion.

The captain of the Seven sat down in his seat and announced the start of this meeting:

"Okay, now it's time for a routine meeting. Does everyone have anything to say?"

The transparent man, who was transparent and only wearing clothes, spoke first:

"I do have something to say, Homelander. I think we should take care of the piracy issue?"

"Hmm, what do you say?"

Homelander looked at the transparent man without changing his expression.

The invisible man was turning a pen in his hand, holding a report in his hand, and said as he read:

"There was a group of bastards who got pirated copies of my movie from somewhere three weeks before it was released. Walking on Fifth Avenue, you can easily see discs and T-shirts with the prints of the motherland being sold."

As he spoke, his tone became a little excited, and he looked at everyone:

"This kind of infringement will cause the company to lose $1.2 billion every year! This is our money! You know, each of us gets a 4% share!"

"Wait a minute."

The silent locomotive suddenly interrupted the invisible man, frowned, and asked in confusion:

"...You get 4%?"

"No, I only get 2%."

Kevin interrupted, and the locomotive looked at him. Kevin could see a little relief on his face.

Damn... This guy's share won't be more than mine, right?

It's now confirmed that the deep sea is the youngest of the seven-man team!

Maeve saw the strange expressions of the locomotive and Kevin and said with amusement:

"Maybe we can talk to a lawyer about this matter? I mean piracy. The company has the best lawyer team in the world."

"If the lawyer team is useful, piracy will not be rampant."

Kevin echoed.

Seeing that the discussion on this matter was getting more and more intense, Homelander tapped the table lightly and said:

"Okay, everyone, can we not quarrel over this little money? How will you make Starlight see us?"

Haha, it's quite noble and righteous. Everyone knows that you are the one who makes the most money in the whole team of seven.

Kevin resisted the urge to roll his eyes, echoed Homelander's words and nodded.

Homelander continued:

"How about we discuss the recent anti-crime work? For example, how many people have been saved?"

He said, turning his eyes to Kevin:

"Deep Sea, how about we start with you? I also watched the news this morning. You did a great job, so good that I was a little surprised."

"It's nothing. After all, it was arranged by the company, right?"

Kevin wanted to get away with it and didn't want to say more about it.

It was obvious that Homelander didn't want to let him off easily. Homelander's smile was still kind, and it could even be said to be a little cheerful.

He smiled at Kevin like a good brother:

"Come on, what is arranged by the company and what is not, don't you think I don't know? You really did a good thing last night, what can't be said about it?"

"Ah?"

After Homelander finished speaking, the most surprised person was the locomotive next to Kevin.

He always thought that what Deep Sea did was arranged by the company. Thinking about the reports of major news in the morning, he wondered why this good thing didn't happen to him.

As a result, Homelander now told him that this was a good deed that Deep Sea took the initiative to do?

Was Deep Sea's head squeezed by a fish or what?

This is not Deep Sea's style at all.

Not only the locomotive, but Maeve and the invisible man also stared at Kevin with strange expressions.

Only Starlight still looked at Kevin with shining eyes, and that look made Kevin feel quite uncomfortable.

Kevin knew that he could not escape, he exhaled, and smiled and responded:

"Well, actually I just happened to encounter this human trafficking incident at sea yesterday, and then... well, suddenly I had the idea of ​​saving them, that's all."

"Playing with fish at night and encountering a crime, well, this can be explained." Homelander said casually.

But this made the faces of others change, because the "play" in Homelander's mouth is not just "play".

It also contains other meanings.

At this moment, even Starlight, as a newcomer, felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was not right.

Kevin's face also looked a little unhappy. He stopped smiling and said to his countryman: "Captain, I don't think I have offended you, right?"

Team Seven: "......!?"

What the hell! What did I see? Shenhai actually dared to confront the motherland? !

People who know Shenhai look suspicious of life, and those who don't know Shenhai's starlight just think that the atmosphere in the conference room has become serious for no reason.

And she has no idea what happened.

The motherland's smile also slowly disappeared, leaving only the most basic fake smile.

He looked directly at Kevin, and Kevin didn't avoid it, and said to him:

"I just went out to sea to relax yesterday, and then I encountered human trafficking, and finally killed a group of gang members who would disturb social order. That's it, I didn't do anything else, okay?"

After Kevin finished speaking, the conference room was surprisingly quiet.

Everyone looked back and forth between the two, and finally Homelander broke the stiff atmosphere. He smiled and said:

"Yes, that's right, so Shenhai you did a good job, worthy of encouragement, keep it up."

After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the next person:

"Okay, let's continue the meeting now. Now Xuanse, you tell me how many people you have saved during this period."

The meeting continued, and the tense atmosphere disappeared.

The seven members of the team who knew Homelander's character all breathed a sigh of relief, but when they looked at Kevin again, their eyes had become obviously different.

It's not because Kevin saved someone last night... Well, this matter is indeed unexpected, but what is more unexpected is that Kevin dared to speak to Homelander like this.

To say that Homelander was offended, it's not that, at most it feels that the two are standing on an equal footing.

But this equal treatment is exactly what Shenhai shouldn't do.

So when the meeting ended, when Homelander left Shenhai alone, the others also left the meeting room quickly.

Only Maeve and Starlight stayed for a while, but they left the meeting room in the end, leaving only Homelander and Kevin in the meeting room.

After everyone left, Homelander's fake smile in front of the newcomers completely disappeared, replaced by a cold expression that made people feel scared.

He looked at the deep sea and said:

"Do you know why I kept you here?"

"In fact..." Kevin's expression remained unchanged: "...I don't know."

Homelander's eyes narrowed instantly:

"Then should I remind you? What did you hear last night?"

"I only heard the screams and wails of the victims. Apart from that, I didn't hear anything. What? Should I hear something?"

Kevin was very confused.

The surveillance video on the ship was a defective product, with only images but no sound.

And because the gang members were facing away from the camera, the camera did not capture Kevin's face, and no one could use lip analysis to analyze what was communicated between the few people.

Kevin had watched the video repeatedly at Madeline's place several times, and he dared to say so only after confirming that there was nothing missing.

So now he is not afraid of Homelander at all...

Well, he is still a little afraid.

He just hopes that Homelander can stay rational and not shoot laser eyes at him...
