------------------------------------------------
Scarlet Countess was startled at first, then a look of terror appeared on her face, and her voice trembled as she asked, "How…how did he escape from E Ross?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, interesting."
Billy Butcher's eyes lit up, because he detected a clue he had never found before from her answer, and immediately asked with a wicked smile:
"So, you already knew that bastard was imprisoned by E Ross?"
Scarlet Countess did not directly answer his question, but raised the chains on her hands and said, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and let me go, I need to leave here quickly…otherwise, he will kill me!"
Seeing that the other party was still standing there motionless, Scarlet Countess had no choice but to forcefully suppress the fear and anger in her heart, and earnestly explained the critical situation to Billy Butcher and his two companions.
"I'm really not kidding, don't think you can escape. From what I know of his character, he will kill all of us."
"Wait a minute, why? Did you do something to him?" Marvin asked, puzzled.
"Fuck you, don't ask such idiotic questions at a time like this, okay?"
Scarlet Countess's good temper finally ran out at this moment. Her voice trembling, she cursed angrily:
"Can't you motherfuckers understand human language? Now…let me out of this hellhole immediately, or we'll all die!!"
However, the more anxious she was, the more confident Billy Butcher became, looking at her with a playful expression and saying:
"What, could it be that you old lovers are having a spat? Then this is a good opportunity to reconcile, isn't it?"
"But don't worry, my dear Countess, we are not afraid of that old boy. We are going to catch this big fish, and you…you are the bait we use to lure him in!"
As he spoke, Billy Butcher's eyes glowed with an orange-yellow light, which was exactly the same Cyclops ability as Homelander.
Obviously, the three of them came prepared!
"What the hell are you guys talking about?"
Watching the three of them leave her behind and walk out of the house, Scarlet Countess roared hysterically: "Please, guys, let me go…hurry up and let me go!!"
"You absolutely can't beat him, let me go…you idiot #$%&****"
But what answered her was only an exceptionally heavy closing of the door.
Outside the room, Billy Butcher and his two companions began to organize the equipment they brought. Marvin took out a grenade-like can from his backpack and handed it to Hughie Campbell.
"Are you sure halothane will work on that guy?"
Hughie Campbell took the gas can, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
This was not to say that he didn't trust his teammates, but Soldier Boy's name was simply too oppressive.
Even though he and Billy Butcher had already injected Temporary Compound V, they still didn't have much confidence that they could successfully "persuade" Soldier Boy!
"I don't know either." Marvin shrugged and said truthfully, "But at least in E Ross's video, it seemed to work…"
Then he picked up a bottle of mineral water that Billy Butcher had placed nearby, gulped down several big mouthfuls, and then continued:
"We have to find a way to take him down first, and then use this thing to knock him out, and then we can figure out how to completely solve this big problem!"
Billy Butcher didn't speak when he heard this, but just subtly glanced at the bottle of mineral water that the other party had drunk in one gulp, and then quickly exchanged glances with Hughie Campbell opposite him.
Everything was unsaid!!
Zzzzzzz—
At this moment, the radiation detector they brought suddenly emitted a faint abnormal sound. As the sound gradually became denser and sharper, the pointer on it also began to jump directly from 0 to the deep red area above 100usv/h.
The three of them immediately changed their expressions, because they knew that this proved Soldier Boy had arrived.
"Everyone get ready…hey, why is my head a little dizzy?"
Just as Marvin turned around to take out a halothane gas can from his backpack, he suddenly felt dizzy and then fell heavily to the ground.
Needless to say, there was definitely something wrong with the bottle of water he had just drunk.
"Billy, you bastard, what did you put in the water?"
Marvin immediately guessed the identity of the 'truth', and reached out to grab the other party's trouser leg, but his body had already entered a state of complete paralysis.
Now he couldn't even complete such a simple action, and could only look at the other party with angry eyes.
"Sorry, buddy, I know you'll never forgive me for doing this, but the current situation for me…I have no other choice."
Billy Butcher slowly squatted down and explained helplessly, "In this matter, I can't take care of your feelings well. I know there is an irreconcilable grudge between you and Soldier Boy, but to achieve the goal of killing Homelander, I can only use his ability, so…"
"Marvin, don't worry, you'll be fine. I put 5 milligrams of sleeping pills in the water. Sleep well and your body will be back to normal tomorrow morning…"
Billy Butcher's face showed a rare look of guilt.
Because all along, besides Hughie Campbell, this 'brainless' follower, Marvin was the only one in the entire team who was willing to trust him, support him, and would actively help him calm everyone's emotions after he repeatedly used his team members, put them in danger, and did all sorts of 'bastard things'.
However, today, in order to complete his revenge on Homelander, Billy Butcher was already prepared to completely abandon all morals and bottom lines, which naturally included his own life!
"You mean you can get revenge on Homelander, but I can't get revenge on Soldier Boy? Fuck you, hypocrite!!"
Marvin never thought that he would one day end up like this?
His mind couldn't help but quickly flash through Billy Butcher using Frenchie to get information about the laboratory from the gang, and then because of Billy Butcher's recklessness and stubbornness, Kimiko was accidentally hit by Soldier Boy's out-of-control "chest cannon", thus losing her superpowers, and now it was his turn…
The more Marvin thought about it, the angrier he got. Did all his long-term hard work and trust go to the dogs?
But when he struggled and wanted to say something more, his vision became increasingly blurry, presumably the medicine had taken effect.
Just as Marvin was about to lose consciousness, a tall, strong figure strode into his field of vision.
The other party held an inverted triangular metal shield in his hand and wore a retro combat uniform similar to Captain America's style.
Marvin would never forget this combat uniform, and this man holding the triangular shield, because the other party was precisely the culprit he had been looking for, who had killed all his relatives except his father—Soldier Boy!!
But he was now powerless to avenge his dead family.
And all this was just because he had easily believed that bastard Billy Butcher's nonsense… No, that guy was definitely a selfish scumbag.
But now it was too late to say anything.
Marvin could only curse in his heart before losing consciousness, "Billy, Fuck you!!!"
"I remember you."
Soldier Boy slowly stopped, first glanced at Marvin lying on the ground, then looked at Billy Butcher and Hughie Campbell opposite him, and finally refocused his gaze on Billy Butcher.
"If I remember correctly, you should be that bastard I saw in E Ross's lab?"
"That's right."
Billy Butcher stood up from the ground, then said with a feigned relaxed expression, "You're welcome, I'm the bastard who let you out… But in my opinion, the place where you were imprisoned was like a mobile big toilet, full of foul odors and disgusting!"
"But none of that is why I let you out…"
As he spoke, Billy Butcher raised his hand and pointed to the small wooden house behind him, "I know you want to hunt down Scarlet Countess, and in a very brutal way… She's in there now, and I can hand her over to you to deal with!"
"Don't doubt it, this is not a trap. You can just consider it my way of expressing goodwill to you."
"What goodwill?" Soldier Boy asked back with a suspicious look.
"I'm thinking, maybe you and I… can cooperate a little on something!!"
Billy Butcher showed a look of eagerness, "Presumably, you should understand that teamwork is far more efficient than acting alone, right?"
"So…" Soldier Boy seemed not to like the other party's enigmatic way of speaking, and immediately interrupted impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Billy Butcher was not angry, but took out his CIA ID from his Pregnant and swore:
"The World now is completely different from your era. We can help you adapt to this new era.
We can also use our CIA identity to help you quickly find the whereabouts of the other members of the Blood Debt Repayment Squad, and then you can do whatever you want to them…
But the premise is that you must agree to cooperate with me and help me deal with a superpowered person afterward!"
"Oh, by the way, we also took care of one of the Blood Debt Repayment Squad for you before, I think his name was Gunpowder?"
"No need." Soldier Boy refused flatly, "I can find them myself."
"Are you sure?!"
Hughie Campbell, who was beside him, spoke up in due course, "Do you know what GPS is? Do you use the internet and new-generation smartphones? Do you know how to use electronic navigation software?"
???

Hearing this series of unfamiliar terms, Soldier Boy was first stunned, then looked at Hughie Campbell with piercing eyes, "Don't try to fool me, those words you just said were just made up."
"No, absolutely not."
Hughie Campbell shook his head firmly, "Sir, times have changed. If you want to find those people using old methods, you probably won't be able to do it in your lifetime.
Only by using the things I just mentioned can you find them as quickly as possible… So, you might really need our help!!"
"This kid is right."
Billy Butcher calmly took over the conversation, "In the decades you've been gone, the technology of this World has undergone earth-shattering changes, and many powerful individuals and unshakeable organizations have emerged. If you still want to act recklessly like you did decades ago, it's quite possible that you might truly disappear forever this time!!"
"Powerful individuals?!"
Soldier Boy frowned slightly, and the propaganda poster of The Seven he had seen on the propaganda vehicle, as well as the huge poster of Captain America and Avengers he had seen on the street, suddenly appeared in his mind. He snorted disdainfully:
"If the powerful individuals you're talking about are Steve Rogers and that clown group called Avengers, I advise you to save your breath…"
But who would have thought, Billy Butcher opposite him seemed to have expected him to say this, and interrupted him with a wicked smile.
"No, you guessed wrong, it's not them… In my opinion, these trash aren't even worth a fart in front of true powerhouses. If you don't believe me, you can look at this…"
As he spoke, he had already taken out his phone and found a video online about Karl and Thunder Warriors resisting the invasion of the demon army in front of the Empire State Building. He opened it and handed it over.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
WTF???
Soldier Boy took the phone with a hesitant expression, but when he saw the demon army continuously pouring out of the hell portal in the video, and Symbiote Kong blocking the hell portal like a small mountain, he couldn't help but curse:
"Are you f*cking kidding me? Even though I'm an old fossil, I know that such exaggerated plots are definitely only in movies…"
"No, you're wrong again." Billy Butcher's face showed a triumphant expression after his scheme succeeded, and he shook his head and said:
"The events in this video really happened, and it was grandly staged a few weeks ago in front of the Empire State Building, in front of all the people of New York. If you don't believe it, you can go out on the street and ask anyone…
And I showed you this video just to tell you an undeniable fact, which is… In this era, there are many people who can kill you.
So you can no longer wreak havoc recklessly like you did before in Manhattan, because if you accidentally harm the property of these important figures, even God can't save your life!!"
