Chapter 86 We Can Cooperate

The train head was not saved in the end.

The doctor said he missed the best golden rescue time.

After a heart attack, the best rescue time is four minutes. Once it exceeds ten minutes, life will be in danger.

This is still an ordinary person.

The superhuman may be able to hold on for a longer time, but unfortunately, Kevin's "rescue" at the time was not standardized, and the ambulance came a little slower.

When the train head was sent to the hospital, the fastest superhuman in the world today had lost vital signs.

The train head died.

Died of a heart attack.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Franklin, I'm really sorry."

In front of the hospital morgue, Kevin looked at the train head's brother Nathan Franklin with a sad face.

Nathan had a blank expression on his face. He stared at his brother's body dully and shook his head slowly:

"It's not your fault... I know he has a heart disease, and I also advised him to take good care of his illness, but he... he..."

Nathan's voice gradually choked and he couldn't say it anymore.

Kevin comforted Nathan:

"He was a man who refused to give up. He never told us even if he had a heart disease... If I had known about him earlier..."

At this point, Kevin sighed again:

"...The death of the locomotive is a great loss to us. We will hold a grand funeral for him, Mr. Franklin, please accept my condolences."

Madeline's funeral was just over not long ago, and the funeral of the locomotive is going to be held. I'm afraid the Water Group will be crazy happy.

Because it will be another large sum of money.

The news of the locomotive's death is still secret. At present, no one knows about it except Kevin.

Kevin did not plan to announce the news of the locomotive's death now. He planned to wait for two more days until the impact of Madeline's death dissipated and he took the position of vice president firmly, and then announce it to the public.

It was already the next morning when he left the hospital.

Kevin, who had not slept all night, planned to go directly to the Water Building to tell the members of the seven-member team about this and announce the matter of the new members joining the team.

The invisible man died, Kevin retired, and the locomotive died of a heart attack. Three members of the seven-man team were gone at once.

If no new members are added, the seven-man team can no longer be called the seven-man team, and can be renamed the Four Heavenly Kings.

So adding new members is a must.

In addition...

Kevin looked at his skill tree.

The current number of skill points, not counting those that have been confirmed to be invested in the job transfer, is still six.

These six skill points are all contributed by the locomotive to Kevin.

Killing an original plot character gave Kevin six skill points, which proved that Kevin's previous idea was correct. Killing the original plot characters is indeed the fastest way to get skill points.

"This is really... addictive."

Kevin sighed in his heart as he looked at the surging number of skill points.

This way of rapidly increasing skill points is indeed very addictive. If it were another person with little self-control, he would probably really start killing in this world in exchange for the required skill points.

Of course, Kevin didn't think he was a self-disciplined person, but he thought he still had a little bit of conscience.

Driven by his conscience, Kevin could at least avoid killing innocent people.

But why does this sound like the kind of person who is a whore and still pretends to be a saint...

Shaking off the fantasies in his head, Kevin drove to the group building.

But he didn't expect that when the car was halfway through, he met an unexpected person who got into his car.

It was the motherland.

"Wow, this is really..."

Looking at the motherland who suddenly appeared in his back seat from the rearview mirror, Kevin's expression did not change, and he continued to drive and greeted the motherland:

"Good morning, motherland."

"How dare you?"

The motherland ignored Kevin's greeting and asked a seemingly illogical question.

"How dare you? I don't quite understand."

"How dare you kill the locomotive!"

The motherland continued to question.

Homelander has actually been following what the locomotive is doing, but he didn't expect Kevin to watch the locomotive die and do nothing.

This is beyond Homelander's perception of Kevin.

In his eyes, no matter what Kevin does or what position he is in, he is still the cowardly deep-sea fish he used to be.

Now he can stand up to Homelander because he has Edgar's support.

Yes, maybe the ability of this deep-sea fish has been enhanced, but no matter how much it is enhanced, can it be as strong as Homelander?

Homelander is the most powerful superhuman in the world, he has always believed so.

But in the end, this deep-sea fish turned into a ferocious and terrifying great white shark! It tore off one of Homelander's arms and swallowed it clean.

Kevin actually dared to let the locomotive die, and died in his home. How dare he? !

"Correction, Homelander, the locomotive died of a heart attack, not because of me."

Kevin explained calmly, and Homelander scolded:

"We all know what happened! You don't have to play dumb in front of me!"

"Hmm? So according to what you said, you saw the whole process of my conversation with the locomotive, but you didn't stop it. Can I understand it this way?"

"..."

Homelander was silent for a moment, because Kevin was telling the truth.

"Look, none of us cares about the life of the locomotive, me too, and you too. You came here to talk to me just because you were angry because a dog that obeyed you died. You didn't even think about asking for justice for the locomotive."

Kevin didn't know that Homelander was watching outside last night.

But it wasn't a big deal. Homelander watched, but he didn't stop Kevin from doing anything to the locomotive from beginning to end, and even watched the locomotive die.

This proves that the locomotive has only that much weight in his heart.

Although he was hit on the spot, Homelander's expression did not change much. He suddenly smiled, leaned on the back of the seat, and said to Kevin:

"You...you are not Deep Sea."

"?"

"You are definitely not Deep Sea. Who are you? Are you a new...something special superhuman that the Water Group has researched? You look the same as Deep Sea and replaced Deep Sea?"

Homelander was guessing there.

After so many confrontations with Kevin, Homelander did not believe that the person in front of him was the former Deep Sea.

He would rather believe that the current Kevin is a new monster "created" by the Water Group, just like himself, than to believe that the original Deep Sea would have such a big change.

Kevin did not admit or deny.

"Does it matter?" Kevin asked back.

Homelander was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed:

"Yes, it doesn't matter. No matter who you are, you are riding on my head now."

"Don't say such harsh words." Kevin looked at Homelander through the rearview mirror, "Why do you always think of me as an opponent? We can actually cooperate, just like you and Madeline did before."

"Cooperation?"

"I'm not in the Seven Team anymore, and you will still be the captain of the Seven Team in the future. I will let you have more fans and be loved by more people. I will make you the best hero of the Water Group."

"..."

"As I said before, we have never been enemies, Homelander, and I hope we won't be enemies in the future."

It is not advisable to suppress Homelander blindly. If this guy really goes crazy, it will be very difficult for Kevin to subdue him.

It is better to appeal to his emotions and reason, and let Homelander become Kevin's...money-making machine.

Judging from the current situation, getting rid of Homelander is the most undesirable behavior. First, Homelander can still make money, and second, the Water Group will not allow Kevin to do anything to their top players.

Then cooperation becomes the only option.

In the future, Kevin is the vice president and Homelander is the captain of the seven-man team. The responsibilities and powers of the two are not in conflict. They can cooperate with each other just like when Madeline was still there.

As long as Homelander can be a little relieved about his prejudice against Kevin.

Homelander fell into thought and did not respond.

Kevin drove the car to the building of the Water Group and said to Homelander:

"We are here. What do you think? 'Captain'?"

Homelander's eyes turned back from the car window and looked at Kevin through the rearview mirror. After a long time, he said:

"I hope you are serious."

"I have always been serious. So it seems that we have reached an agreement?"

Bang.

Kevin had just finished speaking when Homelander opened the door and left, and closed the car door heavily.

Kevin knew from Homelander's reaction that he would not be hostile to Kevin, at least for the time being.

However, Kevin couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw the door that was deformed after being closed by his countryman with great force:

"This is the car I just bought..."

...

The death of the locomotive was a big deal for the British management department of the entire Water Group.

Especially when they knew that the locomotive died in Kevin's home, many people were wondering if Kevin had done something to the locomotive.

Even though the report given by the hospital now said that the locomotive died of a heart attack.

Kevin didn't explain, and let others misunderstand it, which would make others afraid of Kevin.

However, even if everyone suspected that Kevin had done something to the locomotive, they didn't dare to say anything. Under Kevin's order, the entire British management department and related departments were mobilized.

Madeleine had just died, and the locomotive died of a heart attack. If this matter was spread, the stock of the Water Group might fall.

So the death of the locomotive cannot be announced now, it will take some time.

Kevin even had an idea that he could announce it together with the death of the invisible man, and then draft a fictitious enemy to increase the prestige of the Seven.

Well, this is not Kevin's idea, but Homelander's idea.

The purpose of his creation of those super terrorists is to divert the contradictions and make the world think that there are such a group of criminals with super powers in the world who need superheroes to protect them.

The idea was decided for the time being, and after everyone had no objections, the proposal was sent to the board of directors of the Vought Group.

Kevin was busy at the Vought Group for a few more days before he finally dealt with all these messy things and became free.

Then... he received a call from Butcher.

Butcher wanted to meet him.

This guy couldn't wait to see his wife.
