Starting in The Boys to Become the Ultimate Lifeform.

220. Chapter 220: Asking the Mysterious Person for Help

"That's how it is. I was discovered, and Homelander took those photos back."

The scene shifted to Starlight. After seeing the text message from Queen Maeve, she couldn't help but sigh. It was such a shame; they were so close to succeeding. She didn't expect that at the crucial moment, Homelander would discover them.

"We'll cut off contact for the next few days. Once the time is right, I'll send you my new phone number via email."

"Understood."

After receiving Starlight's response, Queen Maeve skillfully took out the SIM card, snapped it in half, and flushed it down the toilet.

"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you guys want to hear first?" Starlight looked at the people in the Basement and shrugged.

"Good news, I guess. After all, I just heard some bad news and need some good news to lighten my mood." As he spoke, Hughie glanced at Billy. It wasn't just Hughie; even Frenchie and the others were filled with resentment towards Billy at this moment. Their operation had been a great success, and they had even gained unexpected benefits.

But this perfect situation was ruined by a video from Billy.

"Queen Maeve found those incriminating photos of Stormfront. It turns out Homelander really does have the original photos," Starlight said.

"Okay, I can pretty much guess what the bad news is."

Hughie pulled a can of beer from the refrigerator, popped it open with a 'snap', and took a drink.

"It's unbelievable. We had the ball right in front of the goal, with no one defending. At that point, all someone had to do was give it a light kick, and we would have won the game. But that guy actually kicked the ball out of bounds. My God, who knows how long I'll have to stay in this Basement now."

Hearing Hughie's complaints, Billy, knowing he was in the wrong, could only keep a straight face, staring motionlessly at the computer screen.

"Don't be discouraged, at least we saved Billy's son." Frenchie said sarcastically, touching his head. "I just hope he doesn't use his Laser Eyes to blow our heads off after he's released. I saw the photos of the scene, and that sight... tsk tsk tsk, it was simply unbearable."

"I'm planning to send Becca away," Billy suddenly said.

"Oh really? I thought you guys were planning to honeymoon here." Frenchie picked up the heavy rifle from the table and checked the rifle. "Are you sure she'll leave the United States before seeing Ryan? Don't be ridiculous. Let's just hope she doesn't expose the Basement's location, otherwise we'll truly be homeless."

"Guys, I found something interesting."

Mother's Milk spread out a poster in front of everyone. "Does Vought's latest Superhero look a little familiar? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."

"You mean the Pure White Witch? She's certainly gained a lot of popularity with that deliberately mysterious getup, but what does that have to do with us? Is she one of your relatives?" Hughie was in a state of checked out. He casually glanced at the poster in Mother's Milk's hand. Although he also felt she looked familiar, he didn't think much of it.

"I can't find any information about the Pure White Witch online. It's like she just appeared out of nowhere. And do you know what her superpower is?"

"Witchcraft? Or can she mix poison?" Because there had been too many things happening these past few days, Hughie wasn't in the mood to care about Vought's newly launched Superhero.

"It's Psychic Power."

As soon as Mother's Milk finished speaking, Frenchie, Hughie, and the others frowned in unison. This was because they had recently encountered someone with extremely strong Psychic Power. That woman, Cindy, had strength far exceeding Kimiko's brother; she was practically a nightmare.

"I remember Lamplighter mentioning her to me, I think her name was..."

"Cindy," Frenchie added.

"Are you kidding me? She's the mental patient from Sage Grove, Vought's guinea pig for research. Don't tell me the first thing she did after escaping wasn't to get revenge on Vought, but to join Vought. My God, this world must be insane." Hughie couldn't believe for a second that the Pure White Witch and Cindy were the same person.

Starlight, sitting by the sofa, also shook her head. "That doesn't make sense. If I were Cindy, I would definitely seek revenge on Vought."

"Unless..."

Billy, whose senses had always been sharp, suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Unless Vought caught her and used some means to coerce her into becoming a new Superhero, working for Vought International."

"Like what?" Hughie asked, spreading his hands.

"Like putting a bomb under her ass, or threatening the lives of her relatives. Those are Vought's usual means." Billy seemed to have found another way forward. He wiped the dejection from his face and said excitedly, "As long as we can contact her and confirm she's Cindy from Sage Grove, everything else will be easy."

"We help her remove Vought's threat, and she'll definitely take crazy revenge on Vought. With her strength, she's enough to turn Vought International upside down."

In fact, Billy's guess this time was very accurate.

After Cindy was defeated in the fight with Homelander, Stan Edgar locked her in the Laboratory and planted several micro-bombs inside her. This was how he managed to control Cindy. Although Cindy wanted to get revenge on Stan Edgar, the bombs inside her were a fatal threat. Forced by the fatal threat, she could only bow her head to Stan Edgar.

"What should we do? Find a chance to contact her?" Hughie asked.

"Exactly. We team up with her and get rid of Stormfront directly."

Billy, back in form, revealed a sinister smile.

"Come on. Teaming up with her is less reliable than asking the Mysterious Person for help. The Compound Six on him is actually very effective. Besides forgetting what happened yesterday, just like being drunk, it has almost no side effects." Before knowing what means Vought used to coerce Cindy, Hughie was worried that rash contact might cause her to turn against them and side with Vought.

"I agree more with Hughie's idea this time."

Cindy had truly left too deep a shadow on Frenchie; he had almost died at her hands.

"In that case, we'll split up the operation. Hughie, you're in charge of contacting the Mysterious Person, but remember not to touch his damn Compound Six. Don't say I didn't warn you; only God knows the side effects of that stuff.

As for Frenchie and Mother's Milk, you're responsible for continuing to track down Payback and trying to find the location of one of their members. I'll go contact Cindy. I refuse to believe she doesn't hate Vought." Billy stood up, the fire of revenge burning fiercely in his eyes once more.
