Black-robed Superman from a certain American comic book

"You are……"

Hughie looked at the man in front of him with some confusion.

"The newest member of the Super Seven, the Liberty."

Jupiter flashed his signature sunny smile.

"A free man..."

Hughie was taken aback; he vaguely seemed to have heard of this name before.

"I... I'd like to use the restroom."

Hughie shook his head. He had no trust in Jupiter, or more accurately, he distrusted everyone in the Seven.

"Of course, just turn left at the end."

Upon hearing this, Jupiter raised an eyebrow and pointed Hughie in the direction of the restroom.

"Thank you."

Hughie nodded slightly and walked toward the restroom.

"..."

Jupiter stood there, quietly watching Hughie's retreating figure, a slight smile on his face.

Half an hour later, after a flurry of activity, Hughie left the restroom, signed the papers, and walked out of the Walter Company building, feeling refreshed.

"..."

However, what Hughie didn't notice was that in the sky, a man dressed in white armor, with a round listening device between his fingers, was silently watching him from among the clouds.

The Walter Family Building.

"I want to save the dolphins! I want to save the dolphins!"

Deep Sea, muttering to himself about wanting to save the dolphins, walked into the Ward family building.

"deep sea……"

Just as Shenhai was about to go upstairs, a voice called out to him.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hai turned around and saw the person he least wanted to see.

"Free man... what do you want with me?"

Deep Sea looked at Jupiter and asked softly.

"I do have something to discuss with you."

Jupiter walked up to the Deep Sea with his hands behind his back, looking down at it.

"I have something I want to do now: I want to save the dolphins!"

Deep Sea looked at Jupiter, who had mustered his courage, and began to speak.

"WTF?!"

"Um, sorry, I meant your idea is very good, very good."

Jupiter initially thought he had misheard, but then he realized it was the deep sea and he didn't think anything was wrong.

"But do you think the higher-ups in the company, I mean Vice President Streiddy or Mr. Edgar, will listen to you about saving the dolphins?"

Jupiter reached out a hand, placed it on Deepsea's shoulder, and asked with a smile.

"they……"

After listening to Jupiter's words, Shen Hai hesitated. Indeed, saving dolphins would not bring the company any profit. Perhaps it would be more likely for the company to consider investing in an aquarium for him to perform dolphin shows every day than to go to Xiao Rizi to save dolphins.

"Look at the troubled look on your face."

As Jupiter spoke, he shoved a round listening device into Deepsea's hand.

"What is this?!"

Shen Hai looked at the bugging device in his hand, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Just now, that poor bastard who got hyped up by the train engine and ended up faking his girlfriend's death showed up and installed this damn thing in our Super Seven's shared restroom. You know, before doing anything, you need to 'pledge your allegiance.' Only if you bring tangible benefits to the company will they take your word for you..."

Jupiter patted Deepsea on the shoulder and whispered in Deepsea's ear.

"Are you sure you want me to do this?!"

Shen Hai looked at the bugging device in his hand and breathed heavily. He felt that he was being taken seriously for the first time.

"Of course, in the entire Seven, besides you, Deepsea, who else is more suitable for this task? Homelander and Queen Maeve are too conspicuous. Black is a super agent who is allergic to almonds. A-Train, he's the one who caused this f*ck incident. If we let him do it, who knows what kind of mess he'll make? As for Starlight, she's still a newcomer and lacks experience."

Jupiter shook his head, as if none of the Seven Superheroes except Deep Sea were any good.

"But……"

Deep Sea still looked somewhat hesitant.

"Alright! If you don't want to do it, I can ask Xuanse for help."

Jupiter looked at Deepsea and shook his head, appearing disappointed and about to snatch the listening device from Deepsea's hands.

"No!"

Before Jupiter could make a move, Deepsea gripped the circular listening device firmly in his hand.

"Um, I mean, you can leave this to me. I'm also a member of the Seven Heroes."

The deep sea emphasizes its identity.

"Of course, who says you aren't?"

Upon hearing this, Jupiter smiled brightly.

"Wait for my good news."

Deep Sea gripped the bugging device tightly in his hand, then turned and left the Walter Family Building.

"Good boy, don't let me down."

Jupiter looked at the gradually darkening sky and the unlucky bastard who was getting excited under the dim light, smiled slightly, and turned around.

As for whether Hughie could actually be found in the Deep Sea? Jupiter had never considered that. He had plenty of ways to find people in the Deep Sea, such as asking the goldfish in their tanks, of course, provided that those adorable creatures with only a seven-second memory remembered Hughie, or finding Hughie through the law that unlucky people always attract each other.

Chapter Forty: The Comical Performers

Just after Hughie and Billy Butcher had a temporary falling out, Hughie returned to his record store with his head down, feeling all alone again.

Just as Hughie was grieving alone, the door was suddenly pushed open roughly, and Deep Sea, with a stubble and wearing an incredibly ridiculous bodysuit, walked into the house. Perhaps it was the unspoken understanding between the unlucky guys, but in any case, he did find Hughie.

"deep sea……"

Hughie stared at Deep Sea as he suddenly entered the store, his heart pounding. At that moment, he felt like a naughty child caught playing a prank by the teacher—nervous, fearful, and perhaps a little…excited?!

"Listen, tell me what this thing is?! Or you'll be in big trouble!"

Deepsea pulled a round listening device from his palm and placed it on Hughie's table, threatening Hughie in a way that resembled how FBI agents threatened criminals in TV dramas.

I don't know what you're talking about?

Hughie shook his head, pretending not to know.

"Hey, stop pretending!"

"I saw you put this thing in the Seven's lobby with my own eyes! Do you think I'm blind?!"

Deepsea blurted it out without a second thought. To be honest, he hadn't even seen Hughie put the thing in the Seven's office. In fact, when Hughie arrived, he wasn't even in the Vought Building; he was seeing a psychiatrist.

"You've made a mistake."

Hughie shook his head, indicating that Deepsea must have admitted his mistake.

"You forced me to do this. You forced me to use violence. I didn't want to do this. You forced me to do it."

Deep Sea stretched out his finger and pointed it at Hughie's nose. It was unclear whether he was threatening Hughie or hypnotizing himself.

Hey friend! Look here.

Just as the deep sea was threatening Hughie, a voice sounded behind him.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hai turned his head in confusion.

What came towards me was a fist the size of a sandbag.

"bump!"

With just one punch, Shenhai lay on the ground, clutching his nose and writhing in pain.

"My nose! You broke my nose!"

Tears welled in Deepsea's eyes. He had only intended to ask why the other party had planted a listening device in the Seven's office. He had only... he had only wanted to protect the dolphins. Was he wrong?!

"Zizzizi!"

Billy Butcher, who had returned to the fray, pulled a stun gun from his pocket and pressed it against Deepsea's body.

"Forehead……"

The deep sea creature, struck by the electric gun, twitched for a moment before lying motionless on the ground, like a salted fish.

"WTF?! You knocked out a superhero?!"

Hughie stared wide-eyed at the unconscious Deep Sea.

"First of all, please allow me to correct myself, it wasn't me, it was us together!"

"Secondly, he can only talk to fish; he doesn't qualify as a superhero!"

"Now, help me put him in the trunk. I have something to ask him."

Billy Butcher wiped the sweat from his brow and addressed Hughie.

"What? Why should I help you? Don't you need me anymore?"

Hughie was still a little angry at this moment.

"Of course, you don't have to help me, but you have to remember one thing: the guy lying on the ground right now has memorized your face, but he hasn't seen mine. Guess who he'll cause trouble for when he wakes up?"
