The Stormfront situation was swiftly dealt with by Roger.

Shockwave and Mesmer, who had control of the nuclear codes and keys, were also given special treatment. Roger didn't inquire about their ultimate fate.

The other members of The Seven were imprisoned as well, even though they had indeed been coerced by Stormfront. Legally speaking, they deserved leniency.

However, in a place like the U.S., where they had offended so many politicians, getting leniency was unlikely. Now, it was up to Vought International to see if they could pay a heavy enough price to buy their way out of this mess.

But even Vought itself was in trouble. Whether Deep and Lamplighter would ever be released was still uncertain.

It was only when Roger thought about Vought that he finally understood Stormfront's final smile.

While Stormfront was attacking the White House, the U.S. House of Representatives had been massacred by unknown superhumans, with nearly half of the members having their heads blown off. Vought's CEO Edgar and Vice President Madelyn had disappeared without a trace.

After Stormfront's death, numerous superpowered criminals appeared across the U.S.

These criminals were spread out across the country, with almost every city having at least one or two of them.

In addition, several top politicians from various states were also assassinated by superhumans, leading to a partial collapse of the U.S. political system. The lack of a timely response from the various states and cities allowed these superhuman criminals to run rampant, causing chaos across the country.

Roger sat in the conference room, watching the news, his expression heavy.

Superhuman criminals were a small problem. Many of these superhumans weren't all that powerful, and if the military got involved, they could be dealt with relatively easily.

The real problem was that the simultaneous appearance of so many superhuman criminals sent a signal to the world:

*Humanity is no longer in control. This world now belongs to superhumans.*

Vought had been laying the groundwork for this for a long time, filling the world with superhumans. A conservative estimate put their number in the millions worldwide.

If these superhumans ever united into a force that feared no government, it would be a massive problem for the entire world.

This was the issue Roger and the others were now discussing.

"So, extracting an antidote from Compound V... is impossible?"

Roger asked Banner.

After Banner arrived in this world, Roger had given him the task of developing a drug from Compound V that could strip superhumans of their powers.

Roger didn't understand medicine or biology, so he didn't know if such a drug could even be developed, but he believed in Banner. Banner was a genius with multiple PhDs, one of which was in biology.

Unfortunately, despite Banner's intelligence, he hadn't been able to create a drug that could negate the effects of Compound V and strip people of their superpowers.

"For many people, Compound V was injected when they were children. As their bodies grew, the Compound V became a part of their system. Trying to remove the effects of Compound V would be like trying to remove a critical cell from the human body. Forcing it out would result in..."
