Bab 90: Li Yue's Harvest in One Day
As soon as they met, Hughie immediately understood that the person Billy drove them to was probably just like him. He must've been tricked by Billy before, another victim of Billy's scam!
Billy introduced the man as "Frenchie," a French man with a short stature. He was an all-rounder, proficient in all kinds of firearms, bombs, and other weapons. And Billy had borrowed 40,000 dollars from him.
Frenchie couldn't help but be curious when Billy said that he had brought something worth 80,000 dollars. Frenchie agreed to take a look at the thing inside the car trunk.
Hughie watched helplessly as Frenchie walked straight into another one of Billy's tricks. He felt for Frenchie, but he couldn't say anything. He was just thankful that he wasn't the only one being tricked!
When Frenchie opened the car trunk and saw Translucent, restrained by a taser, he immediately understood that he had just been tricked again.
...
Due to the nature of Translucent's superpower, his tracking chip had to be implanted inside his body for Vought International to be able to track him. By showing Frenchie to him, Billy dragged Frenchie to the hot water.
Frenchie had no choice but to comply with Billy's requests. He found a long-abandoned restaurant in the remote reach of Jersey City, installing metal foils in the kitchen refrigerator room to block the tracking chip's signal. He also made an electrified cage to trap Translucent.
After getting Translucent all locked up, the two discussed all sorts of methods to kill Translucent!
Hughie was stunned, he didn't expect that Billy would actually want to kill Translucent!
This directly contradicted Hughie's goal. Everything he did was to uphold justice for his innocent girlfriends. He never thought that he would have to go against a superhero. How could he get into this situation?
Hughie never even dared to think about killing superheroes, yet Billy and Frenchie readily went into action to implement their plans.
They tried all kinds of methods. First, they cranked up the electricity until it was enough to kill a buffalo. Yet it only managed to stun Translucent, not kill him! They then tried an electric drill, an angle grinder, and an electric saw. All of them were useless. Translucent's skin was extremely hard!
Frenchie even tried manufacturing a special bullet from the same material as Translucent's skin, but the bullet couldn't harm Translucent! Instead, it bounced a few times on the wall, before puncturing through the roof of the room, creating a hole in the tin foil that blocked the tracker signal. But they didn't know about this!
The three people were discouraged by the lack of results. They had a Supe right on their palms, yet they couldn't do anything to him. They began to feel anxious! Vought International would discover Translucent's disappearance soon, and they would eventually find this place.
After thinking for a while, Billy suddenly got up and prepared to go out. He needed to find a way to deal with Translucent, and he knew someone who might just know how. It was his old friend, a woman who worked for the CIA!
He wanted to get detailed information about Supes from her, in the hope that he would find a clue to deal with Translucent.
...
The day passed quickly, and night approached in the blink of an eye. Li Yue stayed in his room, thinking about what to do next.
Today's event was a wake-up call for Li Yue. Homelander was a cold-hearted person who wouldn't think twice about killing.
He had no idea how long he would be able to hide the truth about himself, but the moment that his disguise slipped, Homelander would definitely try to kill him. With his current strength, he couldn't defeat Homelander, so he would only be able to escape.
On the other hand, he was still reluctant. This was a golden opportunity to greatly increase his strength. He would regret it to the day he die if he missed this chance.
After all, only from this day alone, Li Yue could clearly feel the growth of his strength. He had only been able to obtain 10% of Homelander's strength before, but the event today had increased it to over 12%. And that's before combining it with the God of Thunder state and other evolution.
An increase of two percent might not seem like much, but it was Homelander's strength. If Homelander could lift 100 tons, then two percent of his strength meant two tons. Two tons was already almost ten times what an ordinary person could lift. And Homelander's strength was more than just 100 tons.
The immense growth in just one day was an irresistible temptation for Li Yue! If possible, Li Yue never wanted to leave Homelander's side ever again.
To Li Yue, Homelander was like a human-shaped charger. If he could sustain this growth every day, then it would only take one and a half months for him to possess all of Homelander's strength! Only then could he face Homelander!
"Hah, why am I thinking about this so much? I could leave this place at any time anyway. I just have to be more aware of the dangers around me: I don't think even Homelander could catch up with me even with his speed!
"Let's just forget about it for now, and continue my cultivation. Dummy, set the alarm for 8 o'clock tomorrow!"
Li Yue laid his body on the bed after setting Dummy's alarm. A transparent version of him slowly emerged from his body, floating and sitting cross-legged in the air! Specks of blue star-like energy were attracted and gathered by Li Yue's soul!
Li Yue had already treated cultivation as sleeping.
...
While Li Yue was immersed in cultivation, the people at Vought International were restless. Translucent had been missing for 24 hours, enough to garner attention from the Vought staff. They realized that this wasn't just another one of Translucent's drinking trips.
Moreover, the positioning chip on Translucent suddenly sent out a weak signal. The technical department at Vought International managed to identify the signal, but they could only give an approximate location: a street in Jersey City!
They directly informed the company's vice president, Madelyn. Madelyn did not think too much about it and directly ordered the search team to carefully investigate that location and report further suspicious discoveries!
However, the search team cannot operate openly, out of fear that they would create speculation and panic in the people. Translucent rarely goes out of the public eye for a long period, so his disappearance would inevitably be known.
Once Translucent's disappearance become public knowledge, suspicion and distrust would arise. What good are Supes that couldn't even protect themselves? The dream of Superheroes entering the Ministry of Defense would fizzle into thin air! Madelyn couldn't let that happen!
"Find Translucent as soon as possible, at all costs. Also, announce to the public that Translucent is going on a secret operation that would prevent him to appear in public," Madelyn directed.
Madelyn need to suppress this problem immediately because it was a crucial problem to her goal of entering the Ministry of Defense! There must not be any mistakes!
Homelander was currently peeping at Madelyn. Li Yue had been sticking close to him for the whole day, so he hadn't been able to eavesdrop on Madelyn. He only found the chance after getting rid of Li Yue at night!
Starlight encountered Homelander while he was peeping. Fortunately, the plain-clothed Starlight was just a little curious and didn't suspect that Homelander was peeping!
