A certain man from the motherland

"Mr. Edgar, Ron and Starlight are very close. Is this possible..."

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Madeleine tried to give her opinion.

"No."

Edgar has been paying attention to Ron's every move and is aware of his relationship with Starlight, but this is not the breakthrough to control Ron.

"We must master the balance skillfully, rather than making blunt threats and leaving no room for error."

He stretched out his finger, shook it, and said solemnly.

Not to mention whether Ron and Starlight's relationship is that deep, using someone close to them to threaten them to gain control would, once used, push the other party into an antagonistic relationship.

"Madeline, you are scared, you have lost your cool."

Edgar stared into her eyes and said in a low tone.

The suggestion just made was a stupid move.

"sorry sir."

Faced with his dissatisfaction, Madeleine's voice trembled uneasily.

"What happened today was too shocking, I..."

She was originally a little afraid of the people of her motherland under her friendly appearance, but now her fear is even deeper, and there is an additional Ron whose temperament is unclear.

Not everyone can be like Edgar, who doesn't know what trump card he has when facing superhumans, and doesn't panic at all when encountering anything caused by superhumans.

"I know, I can't blame you entirely."

After looking at Madeline for a while, he, who usually treated others with a calm and gentle face, shook his head.

After a moment, Edgar thought about it and decided.

"Time can reveal a person's character clearly. Ron's problem is put aside for the time being. He has only joined the company for such a short time that he can't tell much."

"If I really can't find a way to control him, I will report it to the board of directors and consider making him a member of the senior management - for example, giving him some shares, letting him join the board of directors and become honorary president."

Not everyone can be controlled like a doll. If Ron didn't have strong desires and huge weaknesses, he would have to find other ways.

"Board of Directors, Honorary President?"

Madeleine was shocked.

He joined Watt and worked diligently for more than 20 years, but only climbed to the position of vice president. Ron had the opportunity to join the board of directors and become honorary president within a few days of joining?

"He is smarter and more rational than the people of the motherland, and is suitable for senior management.

If Walt has a vital interest in him, he will naturally be on Walt's side."

Edgar pondered.

Binding the other party with interests to make them a part of one's own side, turning potentially uncontrollable powerful forces into one's own, and protecting one's own interest groups, is one of the common methods of capital and shopping malls.

It is human nature to protect one's own interests.

"Actually, this is a scrap plan by the company on how to permanently control the people of the motherland."

He opened his hands and revealed a secret.

The Walter board of directors has thought about this a long time ago, but the mind and character revealed by the motherland when he grew up, even if he is not allowed to have access to the deepest power and secrets, are simply not suitable to become one of the superficial decision-makers of a business empire.

.

And if you have the means to control him and make him an obedient tool, why bother bringing him up to be on an equal footing with you?

But the new Ron is different.

"Did a superhuman murder occur in New York this afternoon?"

Madeleine nodded: "Behind a supermarket in the XC area, a group of gangsters were killed. Judging from the traces on the scene, it was done by a super human.

The police station has been notified to close the case as a gang vendetta, and people from the Criminal Investigation Department are tracking the traces of the super human."

"Reveal some of the company's 'inside information' to Ron and ask him to resolve the matter. See if he is willing."

Edgar ordered with a serious expression.

It was just a small matter that could be handled by Black who used to handle this matter for the company, but he wanted to use this matter to get a better understanding of Ron's character.

At the same time, there are many things inside Walter that ordinary people think are extremely dark, and a soft-hearted person cannot be one of the decision-makers of this business empire.

…

"The old captain and the new team members! The internal conflict of the Super Seven?" "Is the strongest superhero still a native of the motherland?" "The desert island battle that leveled everything!"

The next day, a sensational news quickly occupied the headlines of major newspapers in the United States.

The Motherland and Dark Star, the new member of the Super Seven, had a fight on a desert island in the Atlantic Ocean called Resengor, almost destroying the island.

Each report was accompanied by photos of deserted islands after the war. Everything on the surface was turned into dust, as if it had been devastated by nuclear bombs and hurricanes. It was shocking.

“Isn’t this really the site where the government conducted a hydrogen bomb test?”

"It's too powerful. If there had been such a hero during World War II, Nahao would have been defeated long ago!"

"They are not all members of the Super Seven, so why are they fighting?"

"Walter said it was a friendly discussion among the team members."

"Look at these photos, there are such powerful beings among superheroes protecting us..."

This incident immediately caused shock and discussion among the public. There was a wave of craze about the battle on the desert island, surrounding superheroes, and mainly discussions about the motherland and Dark Star.

"Is this true?"

In the apartment, looking at the photos of the devastated desert island in the newspaper, sitting at the dining table, the starlight from the coffee that I just drank almost spit out, my expression was stunned, and I asked in surprise.

"What?"

"You had a fight with Earth's Mightiest Superhero? Just yesterday?"

"Yes." Ron, who came out of the bathroom and was wearing only a simple bathrobe after taking a shower, wiped his hair and nodded.

"But I came to see you yesterday, and you acted like normal."

When she came yesterday afternoon, she and Ron went out for dinner and watched an opera she liked. They came home and fell asleep together in the middle of the night, just like usual.

But just in the morning, she learned through the newspaper that Ron had a fight with his motherland in the Atlantic Ocean yesterday morning and almost sunk an island.

"What do you think I look like?

His face is covered with wounds and his hands are bandaged?"

Sitting down at the dining table, he cut a piece of egg cake and raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No, I mean, why don't you seem to care about this at all?"

"That's a native of the motherland, the most powerful superhero on earth. You fought with him for so long and evened an island without getting hurt at all!"

Starlight was very sure that Ron was not injured, that he was alive and well without any wounds on his body, as he knew last night.

"It's just a draw, not a win."

Although he was convinced that his strength was weaker than that of his motherland, which made him feel more at ease, it was just an unwinnable battle.

Even if he wins, he is not someone who gets excited and proud of defeating someone.

Ability points: 125,000

Ron glanced at the panel and smiled.

If there is anything that makes me slightly happy, it may be that my ability points have increased by 70,000 to 80,000, almost returning to the original level.
