Chapter 57: I'm Warning You, You'd Better Not Interfere in My Business

The next day, as soon as Xia Shang arrived at work, he received a notification telling him to go to the Vought Vice President's Office.

He took the elevator to the door bearing the sign Hero Management, Senior Vice President, then reached out and knocked. After receiving permission, he pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he saw Madelyn Stillwell sitting behind the desk with Homelander beside her. Seeing this scene, Xia Shang couldn't help but feel a slight ripple in his heart, but it quickly settled down.

Did that Doppelganger tell Madelyn Stillwell about last night? Xia Shang mused inwardly.

However, this possibility wasn't high.

Furthermore, if Homelander wanted to make a move, he wouldn't choose Vought Tower.

But just in case, Xia Shang was still ready at any moment to use his Walking Through The Heavens ability to escape.

"Mr. Jervis, your mission was completed perfectly. Just as Ashley Barrett said, you are a genius in public relations." Madelyn Stillwell walked up to Xia Shang, smiling as she opened the document in her hand, speaking with a tone of admiration.

"The method of having the Doppelganger interact with the audience through live broadcast was very effective. Not only did it make those rumors online collapse on their own, but Vought also received several good advertising deals. Now Translucent's traffic has surpassed The Deep's."

"It's mainly because you trusted me. If you hadn't given me this mission, nothing would have gone so smoothly."

Xia Shang's humility made Madelyn Stillwell even more satisfied. To be honest, an employee like Xia Shang was truly pleasant to work with.

"When you first came in, you seemed a little nervous," Homelander suddenly said.

"Yes," Xia Shang admitted with a nod, but then he continued, "I don't think anyone can remain calm after seeing Homelander. After all, he's America's idol, the strongest Superhero right now."

Hearing Xia Shang's words, the corner of Homelander's mouth curved upwards.

"I called you up mainly because Homelander wanted to meet you. You two talk now, I'm going out for a bit." After saying that, Madelyn Stillwell walked out of the Office, leaving only Xia Shang and Homelander facing each other.

"Now that it's just the two of us, you don't need to keep up the disguise," Homelander showed his signature fake smile.

"You're Stan Edgar's subordinate," Homelander said with a certain tone.

Stan Edgar is currently the President of Vought International, but there are rumors that he is about to retire and Madelyn Stillwell will take over as the next President of Vought International.

Xia Shang didn't deny it. He looked at Homelander and retorted, "Did A-Train tell you?"

"Anyone who isn't blind could see that he used Compound V. As for you, before I even asked, he confessed everything himself," Homelander walked to Xia Shang's right side and looked at Xia Shang with the corner of his eye, saying, "I don't care if you were sent by Stan Edgar to monitor the company, or to monitor me. I'm warning you, you'd better not interfere in my business, otherwise I will make you disappear completely from this world."

"I don't understand," Xia Shang shook his head expressionlessly. At the same time, he summoned his Panel, preparing to analyze Homelander's superpower.

Since he couldn't stay beside Homelander for too long, he could only analyze one of Homelander's abilities, and the one he chose was Homelander's Super Physique.

[Talent Skill: Super Physique]

[Fusion Condition: Withstand Homelander's attack for three minutes without dying]

[After Fusion, the Player's Physique will be greatly enhanced, and the Player's resistance to negative effects such as low temperature and toxin will be improved. At the same time, the Player's strength and speed will also receive a partial boost.]

Fighting Homelander for three minutes without dying, this condition immediately dispelled Xia Shang's idea of fusing the Super Physique. At least for now, he wasn't absolutely sure he could survive for three minutes under Homelander's attack.

"You should understand."

Homelander patted Xia Shang's shoulder, then walked out of the Office.

...

Afterward, Xia Shang returned to his Office. He went to the computer, pulled up Hughie's information, and wrote down the telephone number on the screen. After doing this, he deleted the viewing record about Hughie.

Three hours later, it was lunchtime, and he finally walked out of Vought Tower.

On the other side.

Billy was rushing towards Hughie and the others' location. Because the few of them had learned from Crimson Countess earlier that on the day Robin was killed, A-Train wasn't chasing bank robbers at all, but was delivering "Compound V" near a Noodle Restaurant.

So Billy sent Hughie, Frenchie, and Mother's Milk to sit in a car and monitor that Noodle Restaurant. They had been monitoring it for almost a week now.

Just now, Frenchie finally found a man who frequently entered and exited the Noodle Restaurant, with a pistol tucked into his waistband under his jacket.

He seemed quite suspicious.

"Wait, I have a phone call." As soon as Hughie got out of the car, he felt his mobile phone vibrating in his pocket. Taking it out, he found it was an unknown number.

"Forget about that damn phone call for now, tracking is important. Don't lose him," Frenchie turned to look at Hughie and warned in a low voice.

"Got it." Hughie hung up the phone and put his mobile phone back in his pocket.

Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, his phone vibrated again. Hughie didn't hesitate to hang up again. After four or five times, the unbearable Hughie picked up his mobile phone and roared in a low voice, "Shit, who are you? Don't tell me you're a telemarketer."

"Translucent, Grocery Store," Xia Shang said simply.

"It's you!" Hughie exclaimed subconsciously, but he quickly covered his mouth.

"What do you want by calling?"

"Have you found the address where A-Train delivered the goods?"

"How did you know?" Seeing Frenchie and Mother's Milk giving him dissatisfied looks, Hughie moved the phone away and said to the two of them, "This person is crucial, let me finish the call first, I'll explain later."

Xia Shang stood on a street in New York City. While talking on the phone, he reached out and hailed a taxi.

"You don't need to know that, you just need to answer my question."

"Not yet, but we've found a suspicious person. He's currently walked into a Supermarket. I suspect A-Train's delivery location should be inside this Supermarket." Hughie and the others followed the man from a distance.

"Send me the location."

After saying that, Xia Shang hung up the phone.

At this time, Hughie and the others had already seen the suspicious person walk into the Iron Door in the corner of the Supermarket.

"Don't rush, someone else should be coming later," Hughie put down his mobile phone and said, as Frenchie beside him was preparing to pry open the Iron Door.

"Who?" Mother's Milk was a little confused. Could it be that besides them, Billy had found other helpers? "I don't know who he is, but he should be here to help us." Hughie's words clearly made Mother's Milk and Frenchie unhappy.

Frenchie frowned and said in a bad tone, "You actually let an outsider participate in this matter? Don't you know how high the risk is? Call him right now and tell him to go back where he came from, don't get involved."

Hughie thought of Xia Shang's terrifying ability and ultimately didn't dare to make the call.

"Little Hughie, your guts are even smaller than a sparrow's. How about you stand guard outside later, so you don't pee your pants from fear?" Frenchie mocked.
