Hearing this, Derek was shocked.
He had thought Translucent was just turning invisible, but he never expected that this guy didn’t even show up at all!
Holy crap, is Translucent really this arrogant?
Immediately, Derek smiled, a ferocious grin: ‘This dog of a bastard actually has the fucking guts!’
“I remember his skin is made of carbon atoms, completely bulletproof, right? Then I’d like to see if his insides are equally bulletproof and whether they can withstand electricity!”
Hearing this, Homelander, who was originally quite furious, suddenly trembled, and more than half of his anger vanished instantly.
And he silently offered condolences to Translucent in his heart.
Even he couldn’t handle a beating from Derek, yet Translucent actually provoked this great ancestor; it looked like he was about to be electrocuted into a roasted chicken…
“I’m afraid you won’t have the chance anymore; I’ve already tested it for you, his internal body isn’t insulated against electricity~”
Just as Derek was planning to settle accounts with Translucent later and Homelander was gloating on the side, a voice came from behind them.
The two turned their heads to look, and it was a woman.
A woman with dashing short hair, wearing a black combat suit and a cape just like Homelander.
She smiled confidently with her arms crossed, showing no signs of cowardice in front of Derek and Homelander at all.
“Who are you?”
Homelander furrowed his brows and asked somewhat discontentedly.
Derek could speak to him on equal or even superior terms because Derek had the strength to back it up.
Now this woman was also putting on an attitude identical to Derek’s, which instantly displeased Homelander.
Did he look like a pushover who could let anyone put on airs in front of him?
Facing Homelander’s displeased gaze, Stormfront was neither humble nor arrogant, and smiled:
“Isn’t it obvious? I am the final member of The Seven replacing Translucent!”
“You can call me… Stormfront!”
“Stormfront? Why didn’t I receive any notification about Translucent being replaced?”
Homelander locked his brows in a deep frown and couldn’t help but look at Madelyn.
Madelyn’s expression wasn’t looking good either at this moment.
She flipped through her schedule and shook her head at Homelander: ‘I didn’t receive any notification about replacing a member of The Seven either…’
Just at this moment, a figure walked out from backstage, making Homelander and Madelyn feel surprised and even somewhat panicked.
Graying hair, a calm expression, and an upright posture.
It was the person with the most real power in Vought International, President Stan Edgar!
Stan Edgar glanced at the panicked Homelander and Madelyn, walked up to the microphone on his own, and smiled:
“I am the current president of Vought, Stan Edgar. Due to some special reasons, Translucent has withdrawn from The Seven, so the new substitute member, the mistress of thunder and lightning, Stormfront, becomes the final member of The Seven!”
The reporters offstage who were already frantically capturing news due to the changes on stage smelled it like sharks catching the scent of blood upon hearing this, pushing forward relentlessly and questioning Stan Edgar.
“Mr. Edgar, what specifically happened to Translucent that he couldn’t join The Seven?”
“Mr. Edgar, why is this new member Stormfront called the mistress of thunder and lightning? Is there any connection between her and the controller of thunder and lightning, Derek?”
“Mr. Edgar, why are all the substitute members of The Seven white people? Why is there not even a single person of color in The Seven?”
…
One sharp question after another fell into Stan Edgar’s ears, causing his facial muscles to twitch involuntarily, and he subconsciously looked towards Stormfront.
Stormfront returned his gaze with a sharp look.
Stan Edgar trembled slightly and had no choice but to turn his head back.
No one noticed these details; even Homelander was somewhat panicked in his heart due to Stan Edgar’s appearance and didn’t notice them.
But Derek saw it.
Because his gaze was always fixed on Stormfront.
Naturally, he also noticed Stan Edgar’s abnormality.
Derek glanced at Stormfront, then took a deep look at Stan Edgar, a meaningful smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.
“Interesting, not only did Stormfront appear early, but even this Stan Edgar is acting strange!”
“Is it caused by the butterfly effect I produced, or is it because this Universe is simply not a pure The Boys Universe, thus producing these discrepancies?”
Derek’s heart became as curious as a kitten.
“What’s wrong, handsome, staring at big sister the whole time, are you interested in big sister?”
“Big sister?” Derek glanced at Stormfront, who looked at most thirty years old, and said leisurely: “Sorry, I’m not Soldier Boy; I don’t like eating old grass~”
The smile on Stormfront’s face stiffened slightly, but she immediately returned to normal, staring straight into Derek’s eyes:
“Little guy, you seem to know more than I imagined. What should I do now that I’m even more interested in you?”
Derek met her burning gaze and asked: “What? Do you want to gain pleasure with me through incest?”
Stormfront: ???
Even Stormfront, who had lived for over a hundred years, had her brain crash for a fraction of a second under Derek’s thunderous statement.
“NO!” Stormfront immediately vetoed, but then her tone shifted: “But if you like it, it’s not like I can’t~”
Derek:….
“Get lost, my brain hasn’t been rotted by white worms to that extent yet; you can go try finding Homelander instead, he might like it!” Derek said with a face full of disgust.
Stormfront glanced at Homelander, whose expression was still quite panicked, and then glanced at Derek, who possessed both confidence and strength, and smiled:
“Homelander, before you appeared, he was indeed my only choice. But ever since you appeared, he can only ever be the second choice; you are the optimal choice!”
Derek: …
Family members, what should I do if I’ve been targeted by my biological mother?
He paid no more attention to Stormfront and turned his head back to face the front.
Seeing that Derek didn’t take up the conversation, Stormfront didn’t say anything more either, just standing beside him and staring at his face the whole time.
As if she were looking at a piece of perfect artwork and could never get tired of it.
On the other side, Stan Edgar was gradually getting into his stride, recovering a calm and composed state.
He selectively answered the questions asked by the reporters present.
Only answering those beneficial to Vought.
As for questions like why The Seven didn’t have people of color, he simply ignored them directly.
And since Stan Edgar himself was Black, these reporters couldn’t use moral kidnapping like skin color discrimination to attack Stan Edgar.
Finally, Stan Edgar cleared his throat and gestured towards Derek with his hand: ‘The final matter is that starting from today, The Seven is officially established.
And because of his outstanding performance, Derek is promoted to co-Captain, enjoying the exact same Captain powers as Homelander!’
