Chapter 225: 225
225. Chapter 225: Becca's Death! The Real Butcher!
"My sweet American sweetheart, are you finally planning to use the insignificant authority in your hands to strike at Vought International?"
Billy looked at the mobile phone screen. Just now, he had received not only a phone call from Mother's Milk but also a text message from Frenchie.
"Clearly, Vought hasn't forgotten Frenchie, but they forgot that Frenchie has a dangerous individual by his side."
"Are you referring to Kimiko?"
"If someone who can tear apart another person's throat with their bare hands can't be called a dangerous individual, then I think the word needs to be redefined." Billy leaned back on the sofa. The soft touch beneath him couldn't smooth out the wrinkles on his brow. What exactly did Vought International want? Did they want to dig up old scores?
But if they wanted to dig up old scores, it shouldn't be at this time. It wasn't that this time was particularly special; Billy just felt that the timing of this incident was a bit strange.
"Starlight, can you get in touch with Queen Maeve?" Hughie asked.
Starlight shook her head, "We completely lost contact a month ago. But you could ask Lamplighter, maybe he knows something."
Bang! Two figures descended from the sky, landing on the open ground outside Hughie's house door.
"Trespassing isn't something heroes do, especially not into the house of an FBSA employee." Stormfront said, looking at the house before her.
"Unless it's harboring Criminals, and a wanted criminal who has been sought by the government for a long time."
Through X-ray Vision, Homelander saw Hughie and the others in the Living Room. "They're dead this time. Do you think they'll kneel on the floor and beg me for mercy later?"
"Perhaps, but you can try." Stormfront smiled.
"Before that, I've decided to give them a surprise." Homelander placed his hand on the doorknob, then pressed the doorbell with his other hand.
When the doorbell sounded.
Hughie, who was originally sitting on the sofa, immediately got up and walked towards the door.
"Did one of you order delivery?"
"Certainly not me. I'm considering losing weight recently. After lying around at your place for a month, I've gained at least five pounds." Starlight said lazily.
"Then who is it? My place doesn't seem like somewhere people would visit."
Hughie flipped open the peephole and casually glanced outside. But the next second, his expression was like an overturned spice rack, incredibly colorful. Emotions like terror, panic, fear, and disbelief leaped onto his face. Hughie was so scared he nearly fell over. Compared to Homelander, he would rather see a demon face.
"Holy crap!" Hughie instinctively took a few steps back.
At the same time, snapping back to his senses, he quickly turned his head to look at everyone. "Homelander! It's Homelander!"
Although Billy didn't understand lip reading, he still saw the answer on Hughie's face. He quickly pulled a shotgun from under the sofa, then took Starlight and Becca and fled towards the basement. He had originally thought Hughie's house was temporarily safe, especially given Hughie's current special identity. Even Vought would have to be somewhat cautious and wary.
But the fact proved that no one really took Hughie seriously.
"Oh, my God, when did you hide a gun under the sofa?" Starlight asked in shock.
"Is that the point?" Billy's mood plummeted instantly. The long period of stable life had numbed his nerves, causing him to make the most basic mistake.
"What do we do now? Homelander has X-ray Vision, we can't escape at all." Starlight was also panicking now. "How about I hold him off, and you guys take the chance to escape? It's just Hughie outside right now, Homelander will definitely kill him."
"For now, that's probably the only way." Between face and lives, Billy didn't hesitate to choose the latter.
Meanwhile.
Hughie quickly walked to the Living Room and picked up his mobile phone.
Crack! The inside of the Iron Door immediately caved in with a palm print, accompanied by the grating sound of metal deforming. The palm print became increasingly prominent, and finally, Homelander's right hand punched through the Iron Door and tore a large hole in it, like tearing open a can.
Afterward, Homelander calmly stepped onto the floor of the Corridor.
Looking at his utterly indifferent appearance, it was as if he had returned to his own house.
"Billy, are you coming out yourself, or do you want me to personally drag you out?" Homelander stood with his hands behind his back, revealing a brilliant smile like sunlight. However, a hint of tyranny was hidden within the smile. The gloom in his eyes and the smile on his face were quite contradictory yet naturally combined.
"This is my house. Do you have a search warrant? I can call the police at any time now and report you for illegal intrusion into private property."
Hughie stuck out his neck, gathering courage to meet Homelander's gaze.
"I now suspect you are harboring Criminals, and we are merely fulfilling the responsibility that Superheroes should have." Homelander didn't believe Billy and the others could escape right under his eyes, so he walked back and forth on the floor above the basement in a playful manner, seemingly observing the arrangement of furniture inside the house.
"Entering a government employee's house without a search warrant, and doing so violently, I don't care if you are Supes or not, your actions now constitute crime. As a member of the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs, I must warn you, if you do not leave my house immediately, I will take corresponding measures against you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hughie couldn't help but feel emotional that he could one day stand before Homelander and warn him so openly. This feeling was a mix of nervousness and exhilaration.
"Storm, I feel like there's a fly buzzing in my ear. How should I kill it, with my hand or with Laser Eye?!"
Homelander's eyes instantly lit up with red light, their color like surging lava, terrifying!
"Kid, say that again if you dare." He took a few steps towards Hughie, his tone chilling.
"No..."
The overwhelming pressure caused Hughie's legs to tremble uncontrollably. His voice was shaky, but he couldn't form a complete sentence. He was like a rabbit stared down by a lion, unable to do anything but tremble.
"You know what? I hate it most when people threaten me. In this world, I'm the only one who gets to threaten others!" Homelander's expression became increasingly terrifying, like dark clouds before a storm. No one could predict when the downpour would begin, perhaps now, perhaps in the next second! Pfft!! Two streams of crimson Heat Vision shot out from Homelander's eyes.
Just as they were about to pierce Hughie's head, a figure suddenly rushed out and knocked Homelander away.
The Heat Vision, like a knife cutting a cake, sliced through the house's wall and the floor, leaving scorched traces on both sides of the crack.
Just before the Heat Vision struck, in the basement, Billy was holding Becca's hands, comforting her not to worry.
The next momeent, the sudden Heat Vision sliced through Becca.
