Inside the Homelander's office.

His face, with its prominent cheekbones, looked somewhat gloomy at that moment.

Returning to his office from Madeline's window, he didn't say anything, just quietly rested his chin on his hand.

"Why, why are you avoiding me?"

He murmured softly, a surge of anger welling up inside him that needed to be released.

Unfortunately, Shenhai did not appear in front of him.

The locomotive is dealing with the series of consequences following his previous accident.

The invisible man went outside alone and is now in some women's restroom.

The entire Water Tower, ninety-nine floors, seemed to be in a state where he was the only person left.

Oh, right, and black too.

At this moment, Xuanse was lying motionless on his bed in his room, with many cartoon characters chatting with him in his field of vision.

He is not alone.

Deep-sea grass carp are inside the room, while black fish are on standby.

In the vast ocean of Water, Homelander found himself seemingly with no one to talk to.

When he was in a bad mood.

Buzz————————

His phone rang.

The man's expression didn't change; he just blinked and picked up his covered phone from the table.

Information from Facebook.

It wasn't a task assigned by Madeline, nor those annoying invitations from the public relations or publicity departments.

Instead, a cute coffee jelly avatar sent a message.

[Coffee Jelly Addiction]: John, do you have time tomorrow?

[Coffee Jelly Addiction]: I want to visit Water Company tomorrow and see my friends.

The man's heart skipped a beat, his somber face fixed on the phone screen.

[The Home-Lander]: Of course, I'm free, very free.

[The Home-Lander]: This is the best news I've heard today.

[The Home-Lander]: Homelander's smiling face.jpg

Seeing that Homelander answered almost instantly, and with a series of messages, Qi Mu was slightly taken aback.

[Severe dependence on coffee jelly]: Are you in a bad mood?

Upon seeing the message from Qi Mu, Patriot's gloomy face froze; he was unsure how to reply.

He was indeed in a very bad mood today.

Especially after seeing the interaction between Madeline and Teddy..., he felt a lot of resentment.

Qi Mu watched as the other party kept displaying "typing," not giving the Homelander much time.

Buzz————

A video call rang.

Homelander looked at the video call from Qi Mu with some confusion, but finally clicked to answer.

"Hey, Qi Mu, why are you suddenly making a phone call?"

He forced a smile like old Walter, looking at the familiar camera, as if he found a trace of familiarity.

"John, are you in a bad mood?"

Qi Mu looked at Homelander's stiff expression on the other side of the screen, blinked his pale purple eyes, and asked.

"Well, how could that be?"

Homelander's gaze shifted slightly; he didn't want to bring his bad mood to Qi Mu.

You're lying.

Qi Mu's voice came through the phone. The smile on Homelander's face froze for a moment before finally collapsing completely.

Perhaps it was that word "lie" that touched the heart of the man from the motherland, and he spoke to Qi Mu.

"OK, Qi Mu, you know that being the leader of the Seven is a very tiring thing."

"I just had a lot on my mind today and didn't want you to worry."

Qi Mu nodded.

Dr. Rolner had told Qi Mu that Walter was in a state of internal turmoil.

However, he also said that Homelander was very powerful and important to Vought, enough to keep him safe in the chaos.

"John, we're friends. If you're feeling down, you can come to me. I can treat you to coffee jelly."

Qi Mu said earnestly to the people of his homeland.

He had used this method to comfort a heartbroken Becca, and it was very effective.

The image of Homelander on the screen suddenly disappeared, followed by a slightly hoarse voice:

"Oh, sorry, I dropped my phone, Qi Mu, I'm so sorry."

After a screen vibration, Homelander's face reappeared in Qi Mu's sight.

However, it seems that there is a bit more highlight in the eyes.

"Fine, since you've invited me, I'll come find you after get off work today."

He gave Qi Mu a sincere smile.

"I want to eat the best coffee jelly!"

"Okay, I'll tell Mom."

Qi Mu nodded and spoke to the countryman, whose mood had clearly improved.

"Wow, I hope she won't blame me for taking your jelly."

Homelander joked with Qi Mu, and the two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

drop----

The video call ended with a notification sound.

The man put down his phone, and his inner turmoil subsided considerably.

He looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"OK, now, I should go see what my teammates are doing."

He got up from his chair, stretched his neck, and his genuine smile faded, replaced by the old Walter-style grin.

Super Vision Activated.

Homelander walked down the corridor on the ninety-ninth floor and arrived at the entrance to the Deep Sea lounge.

.......

Looking into the bedroom, at the deep sea where he was lying on the bed, looking at his phone, and playing with two octopuses, the smile on Homelander's face vanished.

"Shit, I really shouldn't have come to see this useless guy who only knows how to fuck fish."

The man frowned, pinched his nose in disgust, crossed the deep-sea room, and arrived at the dark doorway.

dong dong dong.

He knocked on the door politely three times, then called out:

"Hey, Xuanse, may I come in?"

The moment he finished speaking, Xuanse, who was lying on the bed chatting with his cartoon friends, sat up.

He appeared at the doorway and opened it.

"Wow, so fast, I'm really impressed."

Homelander looked at the black figure who had arrived at the door almost instantly to greet him, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Of the seven, only Xuanse could satisfy him so much.

Maeve is actually alright, but compared to Black, who only obeys his orders, she is far inferior.

Xuanse nodded, remaining silent as always.

"Would you mind if I came in and sat down for a while?"

Homelander raised an eyebrow at Black, who stepped aside to let Homelander in.

"How thoughtful."

The people of the motherland smiled happily.

He went inside, turned on the light in the dark room, and sat down in a chair.

"Hey bro, what are you standing there for? Sit down."

Seeing that Xuanse was standing to the side, the man pointed to the bed next to him, indicating that Xuanse should sit down.

Xuanse sat on the bed.

"Well, Xuanse, you're the guy I trust the most. I want to tell you something."

"You know, I don't actually have a father. I was raised by Walter from a young age."

"However, I am very fortunate to have an outstanding son."

"......"

The people of the motherland shared their joy with the black-clad man.

Perhaps due to his trust in Xuanse, he did not notice that when he heard Xuanse say that he had no father, Xuanse's superhuman heartbeat quickened slightly.
