"I... in my head... what I'm thinking... can you hear it?"
After a while, Fang Yuan suddenly heard this intermittent sentence from Kimiko's mind.
Fang Yuan immediately said with a serious expression, "Of course not. I can only hear your voice when you actively speak."
He said this out loud. Kimiko could understand English, but couldn't write it.
Fang Yuan's face was filled with righteousness, and coupled with his kind words in her mind, even the very wary Kimiko was fooled.
In the original plot, she was very hostile to strangers. Even Frenchie, the official love interest of the protagonist group, took a lot of effort to gain her trust.
But Fang Yuan had an Affinity Aura and could communicate effectively with Kimiko directly, so gaining her trust was much faster.
As for Frenchie, the original official love interest? Let him go be gay. Anyway, later in the plot, Frenchie also abandoned Kimiko to find a boyfriend.
A typical French man, just wandering around for so-called romance.
"Can you really help me with anything?" Kimiko asked hopefully.
Fang Yuan didn't speak too absolutely: "To the best of my ability."
He understood perfectly that when trying to fool someone, you must not make absolute promises, otherwise it would easily make people feel insincere, and the risk of a future collapse would also be high.
Fang Yuan struck while the iron was hot and asked, "What do you want me to help you with?"
Knowing what someone is pursuing makes it easier to find a breakthrough, and Kimiko actively confiding is also a good sign.
"I want to find my brother," Kimiko said in her mind, looking up at Fang Yuan as she spoke.
"Your brother? Where is he?" Fang Yuan asked, pretending not to know.
Kimiko was visibly more dejected. She shook her head.
"I don't know."
"His name?"
"Kenji Yamashiro."
"And you?"
"Kimiko."
"Does anyone know your brother's whereabouts?"
Kimiko still shook her head.
"That makes things difficult," Fang Yuan said with a deep frown.
Kimiko lowered her head again. She also knew that the World was so big, finding her brother would be too difficult.
They were dragged into a radical organization called the Shining Liberators when they were young, wandering everywhere. Later, Kimiko was taken to New York and has been separated from her brother ever since.
Suddenly, Fang Yuan clapped his hands: "I've got it!"
"If you go looking directly, you'll have no clue, but if you let your brother look for you, it'll be much simpler!"
"You know Vought Corporation, right?"
"I know," Kimiko nodded.
Few people in this World don't know Vought Corporation and its Superheroes.
Fang Yuan said seriously, "We are at Vought Corporation now. You can come with us. If you become a famous Superhero, your brother will definitely recognize you, and then it will be much simpler for him to find you!"
Kimiko was persuaded. She felt that what Fang Yuan said made a lot of sense, but Kimiko was also very conflicted.
"I... won't be a Superhero," she said in her heart.
"It's okay, I can help you!"
Fang Yuan gave her a big smile, which made Kimiko feel very reassured.
So she finally agreed.
"Okay! I'll be a Superhero so my brother can see me!"
After saying this in her heart, Kimiko's gaze towards Fang Yuan became much kinder.
People like her are like that: it's hard for them to trust people, but once they do, they trust almost unconditionally.
After a while, Homelander finally destroyed all evidence of compound v and returned to Fang Yuan's side.
Fang Yuan also told Homelander his plan to take Kimiko back, which surprised Homelander greatly.
He looked Kimiko up and down a few times, making the little wolf girl almost bristle, before nodding: "Small problem, brother can do as he pleases."
Given Homelander's nature, Kimiko normally wouldn't survive.
But first, Kimiko couldn't speak, and second, her eyes showed no hatred towards him, only wariness, so she clearly didn't know that Homelander was the culprit behind her transformation, thus posing no threat to Homelander.
Of course, the most important thing was Fang Yuan's request; he had to listen to his brother.
Homelander was just curious why Fang Yuan took a liking to Kimiko. Starlight was fine, fair-skinned and beautiful, but this Kimiko was dirty all over and didn't look as good as Starlight.
However, since it was Fang Yuan's request, Homelander could do anything except math problems.
But in fact, in Fang Yuan's opinion, Kimiko's looks were actually quite good.
And she was the opposite of Starlight; Starlight's looks deteriorated as the show progressed due to the actress, while Kimiko's looks improved as the show went on.
They quickly returned to Vought Headquarters. Madelyn was no longer surprised that Homelander brought someone back after a mission.
Although this woman was undocumented, she was at least a victim of human trafficking and posed no threat to Vought—at least Madelyn thought so.
So she let it be and didn't condemn Fang Yuan's behavior of treating Vought Corporation like a hotel.
After all, Fang Yuan had brought back countless women for the night.
Now Madelyn was worried about another matter.
Invisible Man had been missing for many days, and Vought had exhausted all means but couldn't find him. It was already certain that Invisible Man had met with an accident.
Now was a critical period for Vought to join the Military-Industrial Complex. If one of its Superheroes, and a member of The Seven at that, met with an accident, it would be a huge blow to Vought's reputation.
"If Invisible Man just died, it would be great," Madelyn thought maliciously.
If Invisible Man was captured, he might reveal some information detrimental to Vought.
Madelyn understood the integrity of her Superheroes perfectly well—
Very stable, all of them had no integrity.
For example, A-Train had just injected compound v and, in a highly anticipated race, beat Impact, also breaking his personal best.
However, it's well-known that U.S. athletes using drugs isn't considered doping; it's all for treatment.
Those who know, know.
Old trick.
But soon Madelyn was no longer worried about Invisible Man, because a sudden situation arose.
Homelander and Maeve were personally called to the conference room by Madelyn.
"Transoceanic Flight 37 from Chicago to Paris just reported being hijacked by three Terrorists, and is currently over the Atlantic Ocean."
"This is our chance!" Madelyn's expression was very excited: "Currently, many congressmen still oppose the proposal for Vought Superheroes to join the military. If you can safely bring back the passengers on the plane, no one will dare to object anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Maeve secretly rolled her eyes.
She had long disliked Vought's practices, but Maeve knew that not only herself but also the people she cared about were under Vought's influence. A slight oversight could bring disaster to those close to her, so she could only endure.
Homelander, on the other hand, was much simpler; he nodded confidently.
"No problem!"
Although he wanted to control Vought, he currently had no ill will towards Madelyn, so he was naturally willing to help her.
Leaving the conference room, they happened to run into Fang Yuan in the corridor. He was manipulating three metal birds made of iron pieces, teasing his Black Panther.
"John, where are you two going?" Fang Yuan asked, seeing their hurried demeanor.
This time they were going to do something serious, and Homelander puffed out his chest in front of Fang Yuan: "To save a flight!"
"Oh, good luck!"
Fang Yuan smiled, then nodded to Maeve in greeting.
Maeve also nodded in return.
No matter how many times she saw it, she would be very surprised. Homelander's attitude towards Fang Yuan was exceptionally good, and—
"Is Fang Yuan's ability metal control?" she asked Homelander.
"Brother also has many Superpowers; metal control is just one of them," Homelander boasted in a high-pitched tone.
Those who didn't understand might think he was talking about himself with such pride.
Then the two didn't delay. Homelander quickly took Maeve and flew towards the flight.
Maeve's design prototype must have referenced Wonder Woman. She had Superman-like physical qualities but couldn't fly.
Actually, dealing with three hijackers, Homelander alone would have been enough.
Madelyn's main purpose in having Maeve go along was also for publicity, after all, female power is also a good selling point.
One man and one woman also fit the correct image.
Homelander quickly caught up with the plane with Maeve. Maeve first ripped open the cabin door, and while the cabin was in chaotic decompression, she directly slipped in and quickly knocked down two thugs. Then Homelander leisurely walked in and closed the cabin door.
"Zzz!"
He used his laser eyes to directly kill the third hijacker, cleanly and efficiently.
At this point, the passengers, realizing they were rescued, immediately burst into huge cheers, shouting Homelander and Maeve's names.
Homelander loved seeing people praise him the most; his face was so wrinkled from smiling. He kept waving his hands up and down, as if to calm everyone down, and also as if to make them shout louder.
Maeve, on the other hand, was much more professional. She quickly went to check the situation in the cockpit, as the safe landing of the plane still depended on the pilot.
But as soon as she pushed open the cockpit door, Maeve's expression changed, because there was actually another thug inside the cockpit, and he had already killed the co-pilot!
Seeing the thug holding a gun to the pilot's head, Maeve quickly spread her hands to calm him, and at this moment, Homelander also noticed the commotion and walked into the cockpit.
"Hey, relax!" Homelander said.
But he overlooked the deterrent power of being the strongest Superhuman. The moment the thug saw him, he showed despair and immediately shot the pilot in the head!
"Zzz!"
Homelander was instantly enraged that this person dared to ignore his words. His laser eyes immediately fired, cutting the thug in half.
The powerful laser even destroyed the instruments in the cockpit.
Then Homelander and Maeve were in a dramatic situation.
"Can you fly a plane?" Maeve asked.
Homelander replied somewhat awkwardly, "In this situation, it seems even knowing how to fly wouldn't help, would it?"
With the control panel gone, not even Captain Sully could save it.
"How about we run?" Homelander suggested, a very practical idea.
