Starting in The Boys to Become the Ultimate Lifeform.

Chapter 235: Condition Met! Seventy Percent Possibility!

The director was a white fat man, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He didn't look very old, but his hairline was gradually receding towards the back of his head, which gave him only one impression: professionalism! Holding a recording device, he walked up to Homelander.

"That was a fantastic performance! However, for the next scene, we'll be using a forced perspective shot. This means your heat vision shouldn't directly hit Mr. Jervis; it should ideally graze past his ear. But remember, you absolutely must not touch Mr. Jervis's ear. After all, I don't want to ruin my career because of one scene."

The white director instructed Homelander.

His expression was somewhat solemn. If Homelander had an accident like Stormfront just now, he would be finished. If Mr. Jervis only sustained minor injuries, it would be fine, but if he was seriously injured, the director suspected he would be blacklisted by Vought International.

"Don't worry, I'm very professional," Homelander said with a smile.

"Please be careful," the director sighed. His original plan was to use special effects for the upcoming plot, which would greatly reduce the danger and avoid any potential accidents. However, to his surprise, when Mr. Jervis heard his plan, he immediately rejected it.

He stated that it wouldn't be realistic enough and he would find it difficult to get into character.

Hearing the reason Mr. Jervis gave, the director, while feeling utterly speechless, could only compliment Mr. Jervis on his exceptional dedication. He remarked that it was hard to find an actor as dedicated as Mr. Jervis in the entire film industry.

"Check the film! Get ready for the next shot! Motion capture team, be ready at all times! Don't waste a single upcoming shot! If you screw up, you bunch of useless staff members are all fired!" After roaring at the staff members behind him, the white director, feeling refreshed after his outburst, turned back to Homelander.

"For the next scene, please be absolutely careful." With that, he turned and returned to his Workstation.

After everything returned to normal.

With the help of wire rigging, Xia Shang, unscathed, slowly rose from the ruins. His gaze was sharp as he looked at Homelander not far away and said coldly, "Homelander, are you here to die too?"

"With great ability comes great responsibility. I understood this truth when I enjoyed the glory. I bear my mission! That is to protect this beautiful planet beneath my feet." As Homelander's feet gradually lifted off the ground, the Stars and Stripes flag cape behind him, influenced by a wind machine, flapped fiercely and soared in the wind! "Even if they slander you with all sorts of dirt, belittling you as worthless, even if you are hated and given the cold shoulder by everyone, will you still fight for them?" Honestly, putting these lines on Homelander felt truly jarring. If Xia Shang's professionalism hadn't been so good, he might have burst out laughing while speaking.

"Enough nonsense! Go to hell!"

Homelander raised his head and instantly shot out two beams of crimson red heat vision! Even though Homelander had reduced the power of his heat vision to the minimum, Xia Shang could still feel the warmth passing by his ear.

The two maintained this posture of mutually shooting at each other for a full half-minute. At this moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in Homelander's eyes. He remembered what Stormfront had told him before he came: Mr. Jervis was highly suspicious and very likely the Mysterious Person.

After a moment of hesitation.

He finally gritted his teeth and used his heat vision to cut the wire rigging suspended above Xia Shang's head.

Amidst gasps of surprise, Xia Shang fell from a height of over ten meters, hitting the ground heavily and kicking up a large amount of dust.

However, Homelander's expression was somewhat dazed, because he seemed to have seen Xia Shang hover in mid-air for a moment. But because the time was too short, he couldn't tell if it was an illusion or if the other party truly possessed flight.

At this point, the scene was in chaos. The white director quickly dropped the tools in his hand and ran towards where Xia Shang had fallen, praying to God as he jogged that nothing had happened to Mr. Jervis.

"Ambulance! Quickly call an ambulance!"

Just as the scene was in disarray, Xia Shang's voice was heard.

"Don't be nervous, I'm fine." Xia Shang stood up from the ground, and apart from his clothes and some skin being covered in dust, he seemed to be fine. "Oh my God." The director kept pressing various parts of Xia Shang's body: "Mr. Jervis, how about letting a Doctor check you? Perhaps there's internal damage."

"No, really. Besides, this height is nothing to me. You know, I got into university as a sports student," Xia Shang said jokingly.

After confirming that Xia Shang was truly fine, the white director looked at Xia Shang with astonishment and said, "Unbelievable, Mr. Jervis, how did you do that? I'm afraid some professional stunt actors would find it difficult, after all, that was over ten meters high. An ordinary human would at least suffer a fracture."

"As I said, I was a sports student, so my physical quality has always been good. I also dabbled in limit sports for a while before."

"I see."

The director nodded, half-understanding.

"I'm sorry, I was a bit distracted just now. Seeing that you're okay, I'm relieved," Homelander said apologetically.

"I understand, just be careful next time."

Xia Shang generously indicated that he didn't mind.

And asked the director to reshoot the previous scene.

After that, everything was normal, and the shooting progress was very smooth.

[Super Physique is Fusing, current Progress is 1%]

Looking at the prompt on the Panel, the corner of Xia Shang's mouth slightly curved upwards.

"It was a pleasure working with you," Xia Shang said with a smile, shaking hands with Homelander and Starlight respectively.

After Xia Shang left in a car.

Homelander and Stormfront sat on two chairs in the rest area.

Stormfront was the first to speak.

"I'm seventy percent sure that the Mysterious Person is Mr. Jervis. He feels very familiar to me, especially his smile – it's fake but reveals a threat."

Homelander beside her frowned and said, "Just now, I think I saw him hover in the air for half a second. If he also has flight, then the possibility of him being the Mysterious Person is indeed high. However, before we truly make contact, we can't easily jump to a conclusion. At least we need to rule out the Doppelganger as a wrong option first."

"Doppelganger? Just hearing the name, I feel like it's not him," Stormfront waved her hand for a steak.

"Whether it is or not, we'll know after testing him. I've already arranged to meet him; he should arrive later."

Testing the Doppelganger is much easier than testing Mr. Jervis. Even if he killed the Doppelganger, Stan Edgar wouldn't say much, as long as he did it cleanly enough.
