pressure.

The words of the homelander put enormous pressure on the locomotive.

The spotlight was turned on.

The father sat down again.

He ignored the locomotive below, which was under heavy pressure, and continued to think about Qi Mu's birthday.

Buzz————

His phone vibrated.

Almost instantly, Homelander opened his phone and saw the familiar coffee jelly avatar with a small red dot above its head on the chat interface.

[Coffee Jelly Addiction]: John, are you free now?

[The Home-lander]: Wow, I'm at the scene of a superhuman speed race right now, but that doesn't matter.

[The Home-lander]: Of course I'm available.

[Coffee jelly addiction]: Then I'll come find you right away.

When the man looked at the message on his phone, his eyes lit up instantly.

He straightened his clothes, touched his slicked-back hair, and even took out a wet wipe from his pocket to wipe his face.

"Hmm, it should be alright."

The man checked his face using his phone's selfie function and nodded in satisfaction.

[He's very handsome.]

The pink-haired figure appeared in the front-facing camera of the phone.

The man's lips tightened, and he coughed slightly to suppress the upward curve of his mouth.

"Ahem, Qi Mu, you're here."

"Please have a seat. Don't worry, any seat here is fine."

"The motherland is full of pride," the man said to Qi Mu.

[Oh dear, I'll sit here.]

Qi Mu sat to John's right.

"Would you like some Coke?"

Since this is outside, Homelander didn't prepare lattes, but the organizers did provide Coke.

[Uh-huh.]

Qi Mu nodded, looking at the circular track below with some curiosity.

"This track is two kilometers long."

"Homelander explained to Qi Mu."

"The runners need to run 200 laps to be considered finished."

"So many?"

Qi Mu said with some surprise.

"Actually, it's alright. They are all top-tier speed-type superhumans, and they can all easily break the speed of sound."

The people of the motherland, however, think it's alright.

Two hundred laps, four hundred kilometers, running at twice the speed of sound, would only take about ten minutes.

Of course, these athletes can't keep running at full speed indefinitely; their stamina has a limit.

That depends on each player's tactics.

"John, how long will it take you?"

"Me?"

Homelander was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Qi Mu to ask him that question.

"Hmm, I feel like you're pretty fast too. Why is the locomotive the fastest?"

(Locomotive: Big brother, big dad, please stop stirring things up, okay?)

"Of course I'm faster than a locomotive."

The Homelanders almost immediately defended themselves.

"I just can't fly. If I just run, I can maintain a speed of Mach 3."

After some thought, the people of the motherland gave their own answer.

"About six minutes or so."

"If flying is permitted, it won't take this long."

"Because of the need to turn, it is impossible to fly at Mach 20, but Mach 10 can be easily achieved."

"That means... within two minutes."

The people of the motherland wore expressions of pride.

That's right, this is him, the world's strongest superhuman.

What fastest man? He's just a guy on the roadside.

After I finish running, I'll take a shower. I bet the locomotive will still be running by then.

"I see."

Qi Mu nodded in understanding.

Homelander also became interested and asked Qi Mu curiously.

"If you, Qi Mu, were to run, how long would it take?"

"Me? Hmm, let me think."

Qi Mu stretched out his fingers, one, two, three...

"Does it really take that long?"

The people of the motherland were somewhat surprised.

"No, this is the method."

"[High Speed ​​Movement] takes about ten seconds, [Zawarudo] only requires activation time, and [Instant Teleport] needs to be combined with [High Speed ​​Reaction]..."

The corner of the father's mouth twitched.

Saiki's superpowers are too comprehensive.

"But can that locomotive guy still run?"

Qi Mu looked at the locomotive that was starting its warm-up exercises and asked Homelander a question.

"His body has reached its breaking point."

The man nodded.

"Yeah, he's almost too tired to run anymore."

"He will most likely die after this race."

The people of the motherland looked at the locomotive on the runway with some regret.

To be honest, the locomotive is actually a pretty good teammate.

The invisible man in the group is a pervert who likes to voyeurize others naked in the men's and women's restrooms.

Deepsea is a complete waste, and Homelander doesn't want to mention his interests anymore.

While Xuanse was a highly efficient subordinate, he concealed a lot of important information from Homelander.

He also conspired with Stan to send the soldier boy to Russia.

The locomotive... its only drawback is that it was contaminated with some V compound, which was leaked from his hands.

He was quite diligent and conscientious, and during his time with the Seven Superheroes, he almost never caused any major problems.

It has consistently maintained its first place in various racing competitions.

The only problem might be that he killed Hughie's girlfriend in a car accident a few months ago.

Yes, Homelander has already memorized the members of the Black Robe Squad.

There was nothing they could do; their captain was William Butcher.

Homelander is certain that guy will continue to cause him trouble.

"..."

"Of course, that's when there's no medical team."

"I had promised the locomotive that I would have Walter's best medical team treat his heart."

"Homelander added to Qi Mu."

"However, given his condition, even if he recovers from the brink of death, he will essentially have to say goodbye to running."

"By then, the locomotive will also have to retire."

"The people of the motherland said with a slightly regretful tone."

Qi Mu didn't dwell on the matter any further. He had already told Homelander that he could seal A-Train's superpowers if needed.

But it was clear that neither John nor the Locomotive accepted this outcome.

"I'm here to deliver something to you."

Qi Mu told the people of the motherland the main purpose of his visit.

"Delivering something?"

Homelander was somewhat surprised. He took the envelope from Qi Mu without using his [Super Vision] to see through the contents of the letter.

She just looked at Qi Mu with expectant eyes.

The pale purple pupils reflected the faces of the people of the motherland.

"My birthday is in ten days."

"I hope John can come."

The hearts of the people of the motherland paused for a moment, then began to beat rapidly.

[Favorability: 99]

The favorability indicator is almost full.

He nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely go."
