Newman sat blankly on the sofa.

Her eyes were still on 'Edgar' who had turned into a fat man, or the clone who had returned to his original appearance.

There was a buzzing in her ears, and the tinnitus caused by being too shocked made Newman unable to recover for a long time, let alone hear Kevin's words.

Until Kevin woke her up:

"Ms. Newman? Ms. Newman!"

"Huh? Uh...I...I'm listening, Mr. Wiz."

Newman immediately came to his senses and turned his head to look at Kevin.

Kevin shook his head slightly:

"I know our meeting today is not pleasant, but please accept the fact, Ms. Newman. Now the CEO of Walter is me, and from now on, the person you report to will also be me, not Edgar, you have you understood?"

"I...understand, Mr. Wisz, but...I still want to ask, Edgar..."

"I thought you wouldn't care about this."

Hearing Newman ask about Edgar, Kevin chuckled.

Edgar's purpose of adopting Newman was not simple. He made Newman his own in the name of protection, but in fact he had been using Newman all along.

I believe that Newman's intelligence will not fail to see this.

Kevin originally thought that Newman wouldn't care about Edgar, but now it seems that he was wrong.

That's right, after all, Edgar is Newman's adoptive father and has nurtured Newman for so many years.

Even if you keep a pet, you will develop feelings for it over the years, let alone a human being.

To reassure Newman, Kevin replied:

"Don't worry about him. He is doing well in the hospital now, although... he just can't wake up."

"Did you... do anything to him?"

"Strange, do you really care about him so much? You should know that he has been using you and your abilities to achieve his own goals."

Kevin could tell that Newman seemed to really care about Edgar's safety, which made Kevin a little curious.

You must know that in the plot of the third season, Newman was persuaded by the people of the motherland and cooperated with the people of the motherland, making Edgar face various accusations and had to step down from the position of CEO.

It can be said that Newman betrayed Edgar.

Since she will betray him in the future, it proves that her feelings for Edgar are just like that, and she shouldn't care about him so much now.

Kevin was very curious about this.

Newman looked at him for a long time and explained:

"...He will protect me and my daughter, if he is gone..."

"I will do things he can do, and I will do things he won't do, so you don't have to worry about him anymore. I will be responsible for protecting you and your daughter's safety, and even promise you more things. .

"As a price, from today on, you need to do things for me."

Kevin stated his purpose directly.

Now the black robe team is doing things for Kevin, and they are Kevin's white gloves in secret.

And if Newman, who works in the government, can be dealt with and allowed to move forward in the political arena, Kevin will no longer have any obstacles in this world in the future.

The business world, politics, and gray areas are all Kevin's people. What can the motherland and the storm do to fight with him?

Kevin and Newman looked at each other. Newman's eyes moved back and forth between the clone and Kevin, and finally landed on Kevin again.

"...I...understand, that is to say, no matter what happens in the future, I will report to you, right?"

"That's right."

"So what do I do now?"

"Just maintain the status quo, and continue to do whatever Edgar tells you to do."

There is no problem with Edgar's strategy in the political arena, and Newman's support within Congress is also rising. I believe that it won't be long, at most, one or two years, before she can be successfully elected as vice president.

And work towards the position of president in the future.

And this is what Kevin expects to see, so he does not intend to let Newman withdraw from Congress.

Just maintain the status quo.

The difference is that Newman's superior changed from Edgar to himself.

Newman made no objection to this. She easily accepted the fact and never mentioned Edgar again in subsequent chats.

After chatting with Newman for a while and confirming that the other party was now loyal to him, Kevin showed a satisfied smile and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Kevin thought of the black robe team and said to Newman:

"By the way, the team that met with the deputy director of the CIA earlier is my people, and they are also working for me, but they are not aware of your existence, so if you encounter them in the future, please spare their lives. "

"…good."

After taking a deep look at Kevin, Newman agreed.

Newman knew about the contact between the Black Robe Team and Susan from the CIA. After all, she had been following Susan at the time.

But Newman didn't expect that the unknown team trying to find out the black information about Walt and defeat Walt through the CIA turned out to be the man in front of him.

It seems that this person may have wanted to take action against Edgar a long time ago...

Newman thought to himself, showing more respect in front of Kevin.

After leaving Newman's home with his clone, Kevin sat in the car and let out a long breath.

From traveling through the world of black robes to now, Kevin has finally achieved his initial goal.

Take control of Walter, no longer restricted by anyone, and live freely in the black robe world.

It's not easy for Kevin to do this because he has to force himself to do things he doesn't like.

For example, fighting for power and profit, doing complicated, tedious and brain-consuming work.

But anyway, these things are over here.

Walter will become Kevin's voice from now on, and the only people who need to be dealt with are the people of the motherland and the storm.

As long as these two guys don't jump, Kevin usually doesn't bother to care about them.

But if they cross the line, Kevin doesn't mind dealing with them like he dealt with Edgar.

"...But it seems impossible to get them over the line... Well, forget it, let's talk about it later."

Anyway, if they cause trouble, they can provide Kevin with skill points, so Kevin decides to deal with their matters later.

What is more urgent now is to return to the Marvel world and start a second career change.

Kevin couldn't wait for this.

Inside the CIA offices.

Mallory walked in from the door and handed a document to Butcher who was sitting here waiting.

"We made the right bet, that guy already controls Walter."

"deep sea?"

Butcher looked at the documents thrown in front of his desk and did not move. Instead, he looked up at Mallory.

Mallory nodded: "Yes, according to the news at noon today, he has successfully become Walter's acting CEO."

"That's impossible. Edgar won't agree to it."

"But the fact is, this is what Edgar proposed."

"...?"

Butcher suddenly looked at Mallory. Mallory did not continue to explain, but pointed to the documents on the table and asked:

"Why don't you open it and see what's inside?"

"...is it related to me?"

"Rebecca Butcher."

Mallory spoke a name concisely and concisely.

Then I saw Butcher pick up the document very quickly, break the seal on top, take out the documents inside and start reading.

Mallory didn't interrupt as Butcher flipped through the papers.

She sat quietly in her seat and looked at Butcher quietly.

Butcher's expression was calm at first, but after Butcher finished reading the documents thoroughly, he could no longer suppress his emotions. He held the documents in both hands with an expression that looked like he was crying or laughing.

"I knew it... I knew it! She's okay... She's really okay...!"

"We are lucky. Deep Sea is a man of his word. He promised to let you meet Rebecca after taking control of Walter. That's why you see this document here."

Mallory leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs and said to Butcher.

After dealing with the Vought Group for so many years, Mallory is well-informed, has seen a lot of superhumans, and has also cooperated with some superhumans who don't seem so dangerous.

But this is the first time Mallory has seen a superhuman who has come this far, completely controlled Walter, and kept his promise.

In fact, she had already made plans to break the contract with Shenhai before this. After all, Shenhai is a superhuman and is no longer the same race as today's humans. How could he help humans deal with his own compatriots.

But it turns out that Mallory guessed wrong this time.

No matter what Deep Sea's plans are, at least in Mallory's eyes now, he can be regarded as a good person, a person worthy of continued in-depth cooperation.

It took Butcher a long time to recover from his excitement.

He threw the document in his hand on the table and remained silent for a long time.

Just before Mallory was about to question him, he asked:

"What does the Deep want from us?"

"You seem to be sure that he will want you to do something."

"Of course." Butcher took a deep breath, "These guys are just a bunch of guys who are useless and can't afford to be early. I'm not talking about superhumans, I'm talking about those businessmen.

"Deep Sea is now a qualified businessman. Since he asked me to see Rebecca, it means that he will still need me in the future, so he must want me to do something."

"I have to say that your guess is correct."

Butcher's words sounded like nonsense, but Mallory knew that Butcher was right this time.

Deep Sea really wants them to do something.

"Tell me what conditions he proposed."

Butcher asked.

He was already prepared for Deep Sea to put forward excessive conditions. Anyway, as long as it did not cross Butcher's bottom line, Bucher would agree to whatever conditions Shenhai put forward.

Even if it means letting him go to bed in the deep sea tonight.

Although this is not possible.

"The conditions in the deep sea are very simple for you and me. It can even be said that they are not conditions at all."

"What's the meaning?"

"He asked us to keep an eye on the motherland and the storm, especially the storm. Once they show signs of breaking away from Walter's control, we will do whatever it takes to... destroy them."

"?"

Destroy them?

Butcher found it hard to believe that this was an order from the current CEO of Vought Group.

The Motherland and the Storm are undoubtedly the two cash cows of the Watt Group. As long as they can continue to bring benefits to the Watt Group, no matter what outrageous things they do, Watt will find a way to keep them.

But Deep Sea issued such an order...

Mallory seemed to sense Butcher's confusion.

She sat upright and said to Butcher seriously:

"Do you remember that Deep Sea said that he was going to reduce the number of superheroes and let Walter transform? I tell you now, he is serious, because just this evening, he gave us the incriminating evidence and evidence of more than a dozen superheroes. Black stuff.

"So be prepared, Butcher, Walter... no, the whole of America is really going to change."
