章節 112: Goodbye, Main Characters

Li Yue's current flying speed was beyond words. He only used ten to twenty percent of his top speed, but he already reached more than a thousand meters per second!

The reason Li Yue wanted to fly was that even though he had obtained the flight ability for a month, the only time he had the opportunity to use it was during the fight against Homelander yesterday. He had yet to experience the pleasure of flying freely!

And his destination, where the main characters gathered, was not too far from where Li Yue had stayed. It was still in the same city, so it didn't take long for Li Yue to reach them. He reached the sky above them in less than a minute!

Li Yue slowly descended to the ground and observed the unremarkable warehouse in front of him. The main characters seemed to be gathered together inside, but he had no idea what they could be discussing. Li Yue didn't think too much about it and knocked on the rusty iron door!

...

In the past month, Billy, Hughie, and the others hadn't made any big movements. Though, it was unknown whether they simply abided by the agreement with Li Yue or because of other things!

Their team now had four people. One day, Billy went out and brought back a strong black man. His name was rather strange, so they called him Mother's Milk! (It was a bit of a dirty joke.)

The black man fought with Frenchie pretty much every time they met. It seemed that they had known each other prior to meeting the team, and there were still misunderstanding left between them. They didn't get along very well!

But Billy's persuasion ultimately brought them to a truce. At the very least, they wouldn't fight constantly like before!

Despite the restriction imposed by their agreement with Li Yue, they had not been completely idle during the past month.

They had pursued Popclaw from the clues they learned from Translucent. They even planted cameras in Popclaw's rented house to monitor her every movement!

Despite her relatively long-standing popularity as a superhero, Popclaw's life was unexpectedly miserable. She had no skills or talents other than being a superhero, and she refused to take on lower-profile jobs. Therefore, she didn't have a real source of fixed income, and she almost couldn't sustain her own rent!

Her life was a far cry from a popular star!

...

Billy and the Boys were currently gathered and discussing something!

"Didn't that Thunderclap guy tell us not to get close to Homelander? How come he fought with Homelander himself? And that Homelander fuck hadn't appeared for a while, even though the situation was so bad for him. On top of that, Thunderclap released that bombastic news to the internet. What is he trying to do?"

Frenchie expressed his confusion in a surprised tone. His surprise was understandable. Li Yue had been the one to make them promise that they won't touch Homelander, but he was also the one who personally murdered Homelander.

"Who knows. For all we know, his agreement with us was just a whim. Ugh, we just got the leak about Compound V as well. Just when I thought we'd finally have a weapon against Vought, a more detailed leak was released to the press!"

Hughie was also somewhat confused by Li Yue's behavior. The Boys had to work hard for quite a while to even discover a hint about Compound V, but now all the details were exposed to the public!

This made no sense! The silent Billy felt that the entire situation was unreal. His vengeance against Homelander was the one thing that kept him alive! He wanted to tear Homelander apart for causing his wife's disappearance!

He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad when he heard that Homelander had most likely been killed by Thunderclap. Homelander is dead, but he hadn't been the one to commit the murder.

Moreover, he had wanted to get the truth about his wife's fate and disappearance from Homelander himself. Did Homelander really kill her? But it seemed that that secret would be lost forever!

That's why Billy wasn't all too happy with this news, even though the revelation about Compound V wouldn't leave Vought International unscathed. At the very least, Vought would be shaken to the core or even collapse entirely.

None of them comforted Billy! He couldn't give a damn about Vought International. He just wanted to find his wife. If Homelander really killed her, then he wanted to kill Homelander personally. But now, he couldn't do any of that!

Suddenly, a clear knocking sound came from the door. The crew vigilantly turned at the door: who could be coming at this time?

Frenchie stood up and walked to the iron door. The black man followed him, holding a crowbar, ready to smack any belligerents that came through the door!

Frenchie gave his companion a look and nodded before opening the door!

Crash...

The iron door was thick and rusty, so the sound it made when opening was very loud!

"It's you? How did you know we were here?"

Frenchie asked with a shocked expression when he saw the person outside the door!

Li Yue ignored Frenchie's shocked expression and stepped into the hideout!

Mother's Milk didn't attack since Frenchie only looked surprised and didn't give him a signal. He was in a bit of a loss, but he then fell back to the principle of "hit first, ask question later." He lifted his crowbar with both hands and ruthlessly smacked the person who just entered through the door!

"Don't..."

Frenchie tried to shout to stop Mother's Milk. Hughie and Billy, who were watching from some distance away, recognized Li Yue's face and started shouting as well!

However, how could the all-out attack be instantly retracted? Therefore, even though the black man already had the thought of withdrawing his attack, he did not do as he wished. The iron rod still smashed towards the head of the person who came in!

Of course, Li Yue was aware of the black man behind the door, but he didn't show it on his face. He needed a chance to show off his strength to these people, and the black man's attack was a perfect opportunity!

Time seemed to slow down when the crowbar was about to slam on Li Yue's head. Li Yue turned around and looked up at the iron rod, which was moving slower than a snail in his eyes. His mouth formed a smile!

Li Yue raised his right hand and stretched out a finger. A dazzling blue light appeared at the tip of his finger, and he gently touched the crowbar!

Right after the blue light touched the crowbar, a web of brilliant cracks spread through it at the speed of light. The entire crowbar shattered into blue stardust and disappeared!

The black man was frozen in shock when he saw and felt the crowbar disappear right from his hand.

Adding to the black man's confusion, the person he had tried to hit had turned around to face him at some point. The person flicked a finger, and a bolt of silver lightning shot right at him, giving him no time to dodge!

"No!!!"

Bang!

The black man felt a momentary numbness before his vision went black. He lost consciousness and fell to the ground, his body still twitching!

Li Yue obviously held back and didn't kill the black man. It was just a deep sleep, but the others couldn't know that!
