#118Chapter 117 Kill That Hero! (3K First Update)
Ben Harris strolled around her own block with her bulging belly, occasionally teasing the vendors and prostitutes on the street, and touching them when she passed by.
He was covered in fat, and his height of about 1.8 meters made him look extremely cumbersome, with a big belly, but he still wore that elastic tights, which made people laugh.
But the only ones who dared to laugh were the middle class and elites in suits. Gang members like Bobby didn't dare to show any strange expressions.
Because gang members are generally considered to be problematic, once a conflict occurs, Ben Harris, a hero under Vought, is naturally believed to have legitimate reasons to punish the gang members.
This is the injustice that belongs only to these evil people.
Of course, if Ben is a villain and meets someone like Ben Harris, it will naturally be a classic drama of dog biting dog and evil being dealt with by evil.
But there is always a shortage of "good" people in the slums who are forced to become gangsters.
Bobby made a gesture behind him, a poor man with the same background as him, who was unable to continue studying in school due to family experiences, and had to work multiple odd jobs to support his seriously ill mother and sister.
There was still some fear in Little John's eyes, but Ans pushed him.
Little John's face was still a little childish, but since he was black, it wasn't noticeable.
He poked his head out from behind Bobby and saw the funny look of the Reborn Man. He hesitated for a moment and said in a voice that could just be heard by people nearby.
"Who is this fat pig in tights? It's hilarious."
Bobby showed a panic expression and pretended to push Little John back behind him, but Harris had already turned his head with a gloomy look.
He walked straight towards them.
"Bobby from B45, huh, there are a few new faces in your gang. I guess you haven't taught him who's the boss around here."
He grabbed Bobby's hair and pinched Little John's neck with his other hand, and walked straight towards the secluded alley.
People on the street turned a blind eye to this scene.
It's only fitting that a hero teaches a few neighborhood thugs a lesson.
At this time, Ans quietly took out the camera, followed behind the few people, and turned on the recording.
[Reborn Man] picked up the two people and pulled them all the way. Bobby's ears soon began to bleed. He had a vicious look in his eyes and endured the pain, swearing that he would make this guy pay the price later.
At the same time, on the other side, George, a black man, was also holding a mobile phone and filming Little John's home in the style of a documentary in his memory.
The bed of the sick mother was very messy, and two young girls were trying their best to wipe her body.
George kept leading them to talk about John.
Speaking of John, even the black woman who was unable to get up due to illness could not help but keep talking.
"The happiest thing in my life is giving birth to and raising John."
"But the thing I feel most guilty about in my life is that I couldn't provide John with a good family environment."
"He's smart, hardworking, kind, and works harder than anyone else. He manages everything well, including studying, taking care of his family, doing odd jobs, and even getting along well with his friends in the community..."
George turned the camera to the two little girls at the right time.
The two sisters were also very proud when talking about their brother.
"Brother John takes care of us and teaches us at night. He said he would find a way to make money so that we can leave this neighborhood in the future..."
George saw that people started to interact sporadically in the live broadcast room. Some asked if this was some kind of variety show, and some asked if it was a show.
George did not reply, but continued to film the family's difficult situation while keeping an eye on the time, and watching the family members show the various achievements John had achieved.
Finally, nearly a hundred people began to watch the live broadcast room. Some people recognized that this was a slum environment, and some people began to express that if fundraising was needed, they could donate some.
Under normal circumstances, George would have been ecstatic about getting the money in this way.
But today, he has bigger goals.
He knew that his boss had a grand plan. As long as that plan succeeded, perhaps they could become the most respected gang in America.
Seeing that the number of people in the live broadcast room was growing at a slower rate, he knew that this kind of blindly playing the victim would not last long, so he took the initiative to speak.
"It seems like today is John's payday. How about I take you to see him? If we're lucky, maybe we can get some good food out?!"
The two little girls were so happy that they almost jumped up. Although the woman was a little worried, John had greeted her in advance and knew that George was one of their own, so she generously let her daughter go out with George.
Along the way, George kept filming various scenes in the slums. The poor and destitute people lying on the roadside caused a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room.
As they approached their destination, the gang members took turns to greet George and his friends, acting like friendly neighborhood order keepers.
Not long after, they arrived near the McDonald's where John worked. The two little girls saw their brother's back from afar and immediately ran towards him.
George also turned the camera towards that direction.
The next moment.
Bang!
A huge fist hit John's face hard.
John flew two meters off the ground and fell to the ground.
His cheeks immediately swelled up visibly, blood kept flowing out of his nose and mouth, and several of his teeth were knocked out.
This scene shocked everyone in the live broadcast room. Before they could take their eyes off the image of a pitiful and inspirational young man from the slums that they had just established, they saw the other person being knocked away.
When the two little girls saw this scene, they also ran towards their brother crying loudly.
John wanted to get up, but he couldn't stand steadily and fell down again. He could only wave his hands weakly to tell his sister not to come over.
But the two little girls didn't understand what was going on, so they immediately ran to their brother and tried to help John up.
[Reborn] looked at the two black children wearing ragged clothes and smelling of the slums, frowning and cursing.
"You little bastard have a sister?"
"Poor people are just good at giving birth, just like pigs."
When John heard his sister being scolded, he couldn't help but stagger to his feet and was about to pounce on her, but the little girl had already pounced on her. How many little girls in the slums were really that innocent?
He bit the reborn man's leg directly.
In the distance, Bobby and others who were watching this scene were all frowning. It was true that they were gangsters, but at the same time, they did have the responsibility to maintain order in the neighborhood.
They couldn't help but look at the boss, but Bai Cangshu just raised his hand and signaled not to be anxious.
"Ans, shoot well. Your video and George's live broadcast will be the first step in our rise."
There was an expression of interest in Bai Cangshu's eyes. This was the first time that he completely broke away from the main plot and devoted himself completely to seizing the milestone, even consciously guiding the emergence of a force.
Check out the correct version in the 1619 book forum!
Due to the negative reputation of the Water camp, and Bai Cangshu's disdain for the [Black Robe] camp, whether it was Butcher Butcher's dictatorship or the overall gap in power.
All of these made it almost impossible for the [Black Robe] camp to compete with the Water camp in the short term.
In this world, the only ones who can truly sanction the Vought Group at this time are naturally the American officials. Many people in the military and political aspects are unwilling to see the Vought Group and these superheroes gain more and more power.
The other side is naturally what the Chinese people value most - public opinion.
The Water Group was a genetic pharmaceutical company that researched [Compound V], but has now transformed into a large company that controls public opinion, film and television entertainment, endorsements, and even some security responsibilities by managing more than 200 superheroes.
Every superhero is equivalent to a private brand, and they carefully build their personality, maintain their image, conduct public relations, etc.
What everyone, including powerful superheroes like Homelander, must pay attention to is the public opinion that has now elevated them to this position.
Bang!
There was a huge slap, and the little girl was knocked away like a doll.
This scene almost made John's heart stop. He subconsciously looked at the location of the boss Bobby and Mr. Tao Baibai, then rushed to his sister with a wail.
The little girl rolled on the ground for a few times and then stopped moving. It was unknown whether she was dead or in a coma.
At this time, there were already a lot of question marks in George's live broadcast room.
Following closely, there were curses and questions. Some people recognized the identity of the "Reborn Man", and many more people said they would call 911.
George also came closer with a shaking camera, and calmly pointed the camera of his mobile phone at the [Reborn Man].
His heart was beating so fast from nervousness that it almost drowned out his own voice.
"[Reborn], you're a hero, why did you beat up this defenseless little girl?!"
At this moment, George pressed his phone to the ground and pretended that he was not recording or broadcasting live.
[Reborn Man] actually has no intention of paying attention to the other person, a social marginalized person. Even if the other person has a video, his agent and company public relations will deal with the other person.
"Little girl?"
"Haha, I think you mean piggy."
"After all, you scum of society, even if you were beaten to death, no one would care. Maybe, if I beat you to death now, I'm doing a good deed, haha."
Bai Cangshu nodded in satisfaction at the words of [Reborn Man]. It was even better than the script he wanted to create.
There was no need for George to guide him at all. The other party started to speak with a sense of superiority as if he had exploded.
Snap, snap, snap, snap...
The sudden applause startled Ben Harris. Turning around, he saw a large group of gangsters standing in the distance, looking at him coldly.
There was no longer the usual fear in his eyes, and everyone seemed to be looking at him with hatred.
Although Bai Cangshu was just putting on an act, this large group of gangsters who came from the lower classes truly felt the humiliation of being insulted and ignored by society.
"Poppy, who is this yellow-skinned guy?"
"Your new lover?"
Ben Harris, still pregnant, was talking nonsense.
Bai Cangshu nodded to George. For the first time, George picked up his mobile phone and pointed the camera at himself. He showed a tragic expression and said to the audience in the live broadcast room, which had grown to a thousand people.
"I'm sorry, I may have to shut down the live broadcast first, because... I'm going to do something that is not allowed by the law, but I hope you will forgive me and understand that this is what I have to do..."
George himself didn't expect that when he actually spoke these lines, he would be so immersed in the story that his voice trembled with excitement and fear.
"I'm going to kill that hero!"
"For our neighborhood, for our children, even if it means risking our lives!"
The live broadcast room suddenly closed.
