**Chapter 332: As Expected of Homelander, He Even Deceives His Own Son**

The instant the laser shot out, Hughie let out a startled cry, then instinctively grabbed the desk lamp on the table and threw it over.

*Whoosh!* The moment the laser made contact with the desk lamp, it was like a hot knife cutting into butter. In an instant, the desk lamp was cut into three pieces, and the red laser beam that cut through the desk lamp didn't stop, but continued towards Billy with undiminished power.

Fortunately, Billy reacted in time and his movements were decisive enough. With a sidestep, he dangerously avoided the two lasers shot by Ryan.

"I know you! Damn Criminals!"

Ryan gritted his teeth, infinite hatred erupting in his heart. "You were the ones who killed my Mother, I will get revenge for her!"

As he spoke, he changed direction, about to use his laser to cut Billy in half at the waist!

At the critical moment, Soldier Boy suddenly reached out, covering Ryan's eyes, isolating the extremely high-temperature laser in his palm, which was equivalent to saving Billy's life.

"Adults are talking, kids shouldn't interrupt."

The burning sensation coming from his palm made him frown slightly. Then Soldier Boy looked at the still-shaken Hughie and the others and said apologetically, "I'm truly sorry, I didn't discipline him well, but you killed his Mother, so you are in the wrong. As his Grandpa, I should rightfully get revenge for his Mother, but since I haven't finished answering your second question, I plan to make my move later."

"Wait a minute, when did we kill his Mother? His Mother's death has nothing to do with us."

Hughie, who was standing nearby, was dumbfounded. How did this scapegoat just appear out of nowhere? He wasn't prepared at all.

A few seconds later, Soldier Boy moved his right hand away, revealing Ryan's pair of reddish eyes. "Ryan, it seems there's a bit of a misunderstanding between you and them."

"What misunderstanding! They were the ones who kidnapped my Mother and then cruelly murdered her." Ryan's tone was urgent, his voice carrying a hint of a sob. If Soldier Boy hadn't stopped him, Ryan definitely would have rushed over to get revenge for Becca.

"What the hell? Are you kidding?" Hughie was completely bewildered at this moment. If he remembered correctly, it was Homelander who used his Laser Eye at the time, cutting Becca into a pile of mangled flesh. Because of this, Billy was depressed for quite some time and even almost fell out with them.

Billy seemed to understand something. He sneered, looking at Ryan, and said, "Did Homelander tell you all this?"

"My Father wouldn't lie to me!" Ryan's emotions were extremely unstable, the red light in his eyes was constantly surging, as if he was about to unleash extremely terrifying strength in the next second.

"Heh."

Billy sneered.

"As expected of Homelander, he even deceives his own son." He walked up to Ryan and said with a gaze carrying a hint of pity, "Poor guy, you're even seeking revenge from the wrong people, but that video from back then should still be on the computer. Mother's Milk, find that surveillance footage and let Ryan see who really killed Becca."

"No problem." Mother's Milk glanced at Hughie. Hughie, understanding the meaning, reached his hand into the pocket containing the temporary Compound V.

"There's actually surveillance, Homelander is too careless." Soldier Boy reached out and gave Ryan a push.

Ryan, half-believing, half-doubting, slowly walked over to Mother's Milk.

"Don't waste time, what's your second question?" Soldier Boy said to Billy.

"Did you cooperate with Mr. Jervis?"

Billy asked the question he was most concerned about.

Unexpectedly, after Soldier Boy heard this, he was full of doubt. "Mr. Jervis? Never heard of him."

"The person who attacked you at the Russia Military Base." Hearing this, Soldier Boy did remember. "You mean him? But isn't he already dead? How could a dead person cooperate with me?"

"He's not dead, you saw him again recently."

Billy slowly shook his head. "Legend told me that when you went to his place to retrieve your suit, you also brought a stranger, and that person was precisely the Mysterious Person who attacked you, Mr. Jervis."

"It was him."

Soldier Boy was a bit surprised, because he clearly saw the other party being burned to ash by his flames. He didn't expect him to still be alive and even brought him to Herogasm.

"That guy actually dared to play me." A surge of anger rose in Soldier Boy's heart. If he had known earlier, he should have tested that guy.

"Believe me, I want to kill him just as much as you do."

"Now..." Billy extended his right hand towards Soldier Boy. "Can we cooperate?"

Seeing that Soldier Boy was unmoved, Billy continued to speak. "I know your purpose for returning to the United States is revenge, and we can help you find your former teammates. Trust our intelligence capabilities; we can definitely help you find what you're looking for."

"Take me to see Crimson Countess."

Soldier Boy gripped Billy's extended right hand, and then said in a deep voice.

"Kill Mr. Jervis and Homelander with us." Billy looked into Soldier Boy's eyes and said slowly.

Hughie, who was nearby, became highly nervous. After all, Soldier Boy was Homelander's Father; one wrong move could very likely lead to combat.

"You and I both know very well that although Homelander is your son, he is nothing more than a mere copy. He cannot truly be considered your son."

As he said these words, Billy felt a bit uneasy. He didn't know if he could persuade the other party, but he knew even better that if he didn't say it now, when they faced Homelander later, Soldier Boy might very likely switch sides during combat. By then, the situation would be serious.

According to the conversation just now, Billy discovered that Soldier Boy seemed to keep his promises very well. Since that was the case, he could use this characteristic of the other party to deal with Homelander.

"I need to think about it, but I can guarantee that when you and Homelander start fighting, I absolutely will not interfere."

"Come with me." Although he didn't hear the answer he wanted, Billy didn't plan to be overly insistent, otherwise, it might be counterproductive.

Afterwards, he brought Soldier Boy to Crimson Countess.

Crimson Countess, whose limbs were restrained by iron chains, after seeing Soldier Boy walking towards her, her eyes gradually filled with fear.

"You... you're actually still alive." Her voice was a bit shaky, as if she didn't dare to face Soldier Boy.

"Are you very surprised?"

Soldier Boy looked at his former girlfriend and raised his hands in confusion.

"How much money did Russia give you in the end? To make you betray me."

However, what he didn't expect was that Crimson Countess actually shook her head. "No, not a single cent."

"Why? I loved you so deeply, do you know that? Ever since I was captured, they conducted all sorts of inhumane experiments on me. But even so, I still didn't give up hope. I firmly believed you would come to save me. Why? Why did you betray my love for you?"
