Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 536 New Job

"From today onwards, Homelander will be detained and sent to a hospital for a mental evaluation; Walter will provide financial compensation to the passengers on the plane."

"Superman and Queen Maeve have become the most supported superheroes in the eyes of New Yorkers. The scene of Superman lifting an airplane has become a hot topic of conversation among New Yorkers. Vought International has stated that it has been in talks with various parties regarding the investment and filming plans for a Superman solo movie."

"This is another serious incident since 9/11 where a Boeing plane has been hijacked by terrorists in the United States. However, it is also the first time since 9/11 that the United States has successfully countered terrorists and achieved a rescue without any casualties. It tells all Americans that the United States will no longer be afraid of terrorists and will bring all evildoers to justice!"

"We look forward to seeing this heroic act on screen again."

Snap——

The butcher turned off the TV and couldn't help but laugh out loud, his smile full of pleasure.

"I knew all along that Vought Corporation was a piece of shit that would do anything for profit, but this... this is truly gratifying."

"They actually cut off their strongest signature superhero, their top cash cow Justice," Franky lamented. "It's the heart of this group. Homelander worked for them for over a decade, and now he's just gone."

"You pity him?"

"I don't sympathize with you, I'm just curious. You still want revenge on him, now that he's in jail, what are you going to do?"

The butcher's face turned cold.

"Originally, the CIA required contacting Superman before daring to proceed with legal procedures to deal with Homelander's case. But now they've skipped that step. I'll go directly to Susan Reiner and have her get a copy of the investigation plan for the lawsuit against Vought International and Homelander."

"You're right, but the things that need to be done still need to be done."

Ma Zhaodi poked his head out of the kitchen: "Don't forget we still have to rescue the child today."

"And my brother too!"

Kimiko played a voice message from her phone from a distance. She was already quite used to this way of communicating and typed very quickly.

"Okay, got it."

Ma Zhaodi comforted Ximiko: "The main problem is that the Shining Glory in the Philippines has been completely destroyed. We can't find any clues. It's possible that your brother was smuggled to the United States like you. Check Vought, maybe we can find something."

Kimiko nodded. She knew it was unlikely they would be able to find the person in a short time, but she was just giving a reminder out of habit, so that no one else would forget.

“Actually, I’m a little curious,” Mother Milk suddenly said, “If Homelander sees himself being dismembered and betrayed by Wot like this, will he really obediently go to prison or a mental hospital ward?”

"That's absolutely impossible."

The butcher was 100% certain: "I know this kind of scum too well. When he can still maintain his disguise, he looks as noble as a penitent missionary or Jesus; but once his mask is removed, it's only a matter of time before he goes wild and becomes more terrifying than the most twisted antisocial killer."

"There's no need to worry about this—at least not in the short term."

Ma Zhaodi added, "Superman beat him to the point of having multiple fractures, so he can't get out of bed now—of course, Vought probably didn't dare let Homelander watch TV either, after all, he still has heat vision, whoever he looks at dies."

Butcher shook his head: "With superhuman recovery abilities, Homelander in his hospital bed is no different from a time bomb that could explode at any moment."

"Unless Wot can find a way to eliminate superpowers, having Superman kill Homelander is the only solution."

"Superman doesn't kill people."

"Then New York will have a lot to suffer in the future."

The conversation reached a stalemate. It was clear that everyone knew Homelander would inevitably unleash his berserk mode in the future, but Superman was indeed a hero, and he was unwilling to kill.

The breast milk suddenly asked, "Isn't there a way to reverse compound number five? If only it could be neutralized?"

"It's unlikely. The experimental documents from the Water Corporation in the Sage Forest Center don't mention this kind of experiment at all, and Water wouldn't have specifically developed it." "They'll definitely start developing it now."

"Will it be enough time?"

“It will take at least several years,” sighed chemistry expert Frankie. “In my estimation, at least several years.”

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

Ma Zhaodi thought for a moment: "Anyway, the Water Company is definitely more anxious than us right now. They won't be at ease until the Homelanders are finished. Let's finish eating quickly, I still have to go out."

The group began to eat, heads down.

The planned operation was scheduled for 8 PM, which was also the time when Walter would inject the critically ill infants with compound five, so Ma Zhaodi still had plenty of time during the day.

"Clark, what's going on over there?" he asked into his phone. "Your location looks a bit strange."

"Homelander has been placed under house arrest by the Vought Corporation in a hospital owned by Vought."

Clark replied, "The Vought Corporation is very afraid that he will escape. Madeline asked me to cooperate with the doctor to perform a surgery to implant a tracking chip under his skin. Without my thermal vision, the surgery cannot be performed. However, I feel that for a long time to come, the Vought Corporation will require me to keep a close eye on Homelander."

"Then how do we gather intelligence? The Invisible Man is a deranged criminal. I don't trust him as an intelligence agent."

“It’s alright. I’ve already spoken to Maeve. She happens to be short of a combat sparring partner recently, and I recommended you.”

Ma Zhaodi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can we play our cards straight with her?"

“No problem. Besides her, Starlight is also trustworthy in the Vought Company now. We can win over Deep Sea and Invisible Man. It’s best not to trust Locomotive and Black.”

"Row."

This time, Ma Zhaodi didn't drive a three-wheeled vehicle or use the compound decoction; instead, he took a taxi directly to the Water Company building.

Just then, Queen Maeve walked out of the building arm in arm with a woman. When she saw Ma Zhaodi walking towards her, she smiled kindly.

"You're Superman's friend?"

“My name is Ma Zhaodi, you can call me Old Ma.”

Ma Zhaodi extended his left hand: "And who is this?"

"Oh, this is my girlfriend, Irina."

"This is the first time I've heard of this."

“Before today, we were still in a secret relationship.” Maeve laughed happily. “But ever since I became Vought’s second most popular superhero, and also Superman’s good friend, and most importantly, after Homelander was gone, our relationship can finally be out in the open.”

These words were so blunt that even the woman with curly hair and dark eyes next to her glanced at Maeve with surprise.

"Elena, I need to talk to Old Ma about some serious business. I'll come to your house tonight."

After saying goodbye to her blushing girlfriend, Maeve looked at Ma Zhaodi.

"So, you're Superman's secret ally? The one who gives him candy?"
