American comics: From the black robes to becoming the ultimate Doomsday

"By the way, regarding the incident in Ohio, Ashley has already prepared the press release. I hope you don't mess it up this time..."

The man from the motherland was flushed, panting heavily, his heart filled with anger.

He lowered his head, his body hunched over, like a defeated hunting dog, and with heavy steps, turned and slowly left Edgar's office.

Chapter 56 [Contact Maeve!]

That night, on Liberty Island, New York.

The top of the Statue of Liberty's head.

"He'll regret it, they'll all regret it, regret messing with me..."

The man from the motherland stood high above the Statue of Liberty, overlooking the brightly lit city, his trousers down, his eyes contorted with rage, muttering something under his breath.

He's had enough.

I'm fed up with being treated like an inferior person everywhere.

I'm fed up with being constantly restricted.

fed up……

"I can do whatever I want!"

The people of the motherland looked up angrily at the bright moon above, and let out a low roar...

……

Manhattan streets.

Inside an ordinary apartment.

“Ashley, I’ve said it before, I don’t want to do those nasty ads, interviews, I don’t want to participate in any more activities related to Homelander, I don’t want to do anything…”

Instead of Ashley, Homelander's cold voice came from the other end.

"I am a citizen of the motherland. I hope you can get here within half an hour, if you don't want anything to happen to Irina!"

"Damn guy!"

Hearing the dial tone from her phone, Maeve slammed it to the ground, smashing it to pieces with a loud thud.

"Damn it! Damn Homelander, damn Walter!"

After a few angry roars, Maeve paced back and forth in the living room with her hands on her hips, her rapid breathing audible even through the bedroom door.

At this moment, she was like a raging bull, wanting to tear everything in front of her to shreds.

That damned guy knew her weakness, knew about Irina's existence, and even used that to threaten her.

Maeve was somewhat irritable. After witnessing Homelander personally crash-land a plane full of people, she had a change of heart and no longer wanted to continue this.

She wants to give up.

As it turned out, that guy wouldn't even allow her to give up.

She had already sent Deepsea to find the plane's black box, intending to use it to counter Homelander's methods, but now Deepsea has inexplicably died.

"What's wrong, Maeve!"

Irina, who had just returned from shopping, saw Maeve's appearance and asked her with some concern.

"Nothing, nothing..."

Upon seeing Irina return, Maeve immediately composed herself, not wanting Irina to know any of this.

"It's strange, but before I left Walmart, a guy gave me a letter and told me to give it to you."

Maeve took a deep breath to calm her racing heart and tidied up the mess on the floor. She was taken aback by his words, "A letter? To me?"

Irina nodded and pulled a piece of paper from the pile of snacks she was holding.

Maeve opened the envelope with a puzzled look and saw only a few short sentences written on it.

"If you want to deal with Homelander, then come to the coffee shop on Herrington Street at 3 p.m. tomorrow."

Maeve scoffed at such arrogant remarks and didn't want to pay them any attention. However, when she turned the envelope over, she found another line of text.

Do you know the deep sea? I killed it.

Maeve's breathing suddenly became rapid again.

Although she has completely given up now, she still knows some things about the Vought Seven.

For example, a few days ago, he was effectively exiled to the deep sea in Ohio and died in a battle.

This is surprising news.

What's even more interesting is that, it's said that when Deepsea died, Homelander went to capture the killer himself, but it seems he didn't succeed.

The murderer remains unknown.

But now this guy is actually contacting me again.

How could he be so sure that he would want to target Homelander and not take the opportunity to report him?

However, at this moment, Maeve also became a little curious about this guy. Making Homelander suffer was no easy feat.

……

Herrington Street.

Coffee shop, booth number eight.

As Maeve was thinking about these things, there was a knock on the door.

"Madam, your guest has arrived."

After waving the waiter away, Maeve said, "Let him in!"

At the same time, Maeve's gaze also began to be fixed on the doorway.

After the door was opened, an Asian youth stepped in.

The man was probably in his early twenties, quite handsome, and his relaxed and carefree demeanor made him look like a college student.

"Hello, Queen Maeve."

Pei Yuan entered the private room and greeted Queen Maeve naturally, a warm smile on his face.

Maeve was quite surprised by this appearance.

She never expected that the person who could kill the Deep Sea would be an Asian, and that the guy who could make the Homelanders seem to suffer losses would be such an ordinary-looking guy.

Although she was somewhat surprised by Pei Yuan's appearance, Maeve had seen all sorts of bizarre things, so this was nothing to worry about.

Slightly surprised for a few seconds, she got straight to the point, "You left the note, didn't you? I want to know what it means."

Pei Yuan smiled at Queen Maeve. "It's just what it sounds like, and isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

"I have no hope of that."

"There are no surveillance cameras here, so we can be frank. If there weren't any, you probably wouldn't be here in the first place, but would instead be teaming up with Walter for a unique ambush."

Maeve paused, Pei Yuan's words struck her heart directly. She was now disgusted with Walter's hypocrisy and only wanted to get rid of him.

But ahead of her, there stood the mountain of the motherland, a mountain she could never cross.

What makes you think you can do it?!

“It seems you don’t know what happened that night,” Pei Yuan smiled, took out his tablet, pulled out the previous video, and handed it to him.

Maeve was greatly shocked after watching the whole thing.

She never imagined that someone would oppose the Homelander to this extent and still escape unscathed from his clutches.

Maeve's heart was in turmoil, but she remained calm on the surface.

"I only see that your attacks haven't harmed the Homelanders much so far, and that's probably just overconfidence."

“That’s none of your business, I have my own way of doing it,” Pei Yuan said.

Maeve stared at Pei Yuan for a full half minute. "Then what do you want me to do?"

"You should be quite familiar with the detailed location information of the Vought superheroes, especially the members of the Blood Feud, the predecessor of the Super Seven."

Maeve's eyes narrowed. "You want to deal with them first? How am I supposed to know that after you've dealt with them, you won't come after me!"

Pei Yuan smiled and said, "It's very simple. I consider myself a shrewd person, and I would never admit to being a good person, but I would never call myself a pervert who would kill just anyone."

If you investigated me, you'd find that those who died by my hand deserved to die, provided you don't provoke me.

"I will think about it."

Pei Yuan smiled and said, "OK, you have plenty of time to think it over."

Chapter 57 [Butcher grins maliciously again!]

What does it mean to be heartbroken and despondent?

That's roughly how it feels.

Butcher never imagined that his impulsive suicide attempt would not only result in him not being killed by the bomb, but also in him being rescued by Homelander.
