Homelander: New Legacy

[27] : Strike First!

Receiving the speech from Madelyn, Roger took a brief look at it and immediately frowned.

There was no doubt that the speech Madelyn handed to Roger was all about Vought Corporation's latest strategy.

In the name of God, it told the public that it was only right for superheroes to be part of national defense.

The speech even listed the names of several flight attendants and two captains who died in the recent hijacking incident, telling everyone that if superheroes were in the Department of Defense, such situations could likely be avoided.

It was using every possible advantage to the fullest.

After reading the speech, Roger looked up at Madelyn and asked, "Do I really have to say this?"

"Of course, this is our fatal blow to those senators. After this, no one will stop us anymore. You will have more fans, more popularity, and you can do whatever you want in the future!"

Madelyn said to Roger in a very gentle tone.

Vought Corporation's plan had reached the most critical moment, and they needed Homelander to complete this crucial step. So now, as long as Roger agreed to Madelyn's request, Vought would agree to whatever Roger asked for in the future, as long as it didn't harm the interests of Vought.

Roger understood this from Madelyn's words, and he suddenly half-jokingly asked, "Including changing my hero costume?"

Madelyn took a deep breath and said, "As long as it's not too excessive, yes."

"Okay."

Roger nodded seriously to Madelyn, then put away the speech and said to her, "Is there anything else besides this?"

"One more thing, you need to see a psychologist."

"Hmm? Why?"

"It's just a regular psychological check-up. Don't worry, there's nothing to be concerned about."

Madelyn reassured him with a smile.

Roger squinted at her for a moment and finally smiled as well, saying, "Alright, I don't mind."

...

"This gesture means eating... and this one means... going out? Going out to eat?"

At the home of Maeve's ex-girlfriend Elena, Maeve was using the sign language she had been learning to communicate with Kimiko.

Now she knew the girl's name, which Kimiko had written down in English that she had recently learned.

Kimiko.

Just Kimiko.

Watching Kimiko's hand gestures, Maeve could roughly understand what she meant. She wanted to go out for a walk and get something to eat.

After understanding, Maeve said to Kimiko, "No, not for now. There are bad people outside looking for you, and we can't let them find you."

Hearing Maeve's words, Kimiko looked at her in confusion and then began to gesture again.

But this time, her sign language was too complex for Maeve to understand.

Just as Maeve was about to ask, she suddenly heard Roger's voice in her ear:

"She wants to go home, to find her brother."

"!?"

Roger's sudden appearance startled Maeve. She quickly turned around and saw Roger, who had somehow arrived at Elena's home.

At this moment, Roger was not wearing Homelander's suit but was dressed in casual clothes with a baseball cap and glasses, looking like a harmless office worker.
