25 Chapter 25 Welcome to Walter Company
During the day, in the meeting room of the Walter Building.
Starlight took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and then pushed the door open.
At this time, there were four people in the conference room, namely Queen Maeve, Black Noir, Invisible Man and the Motherland.
Starlight was very nervous. Last night Kratos killed Deep Sea for her, and today he had to quietly have a meeting with others.
If you don't come when you find an opportunity, you may be suspected. In order to protect Kratos, you must behave like a normal person now.
Deep sea's body is probably still floating in the sea, and no one has found it yet, otherwise everyone in the conference room would have been upset.
The motherland turned his back to everyone, looked at the scenery outside the window and said: "Starlight, you don't want to be late for the first formal meeting. I have also prepared a welcome speech."
Starlight said carefully, "Sorry, Captain!"
The Motherland said easily: "Just call me a person from the motherland."
Everyone could see that Starlight was nervous and felt that it was natural.
She is the kind of little girl who dreams of becoming a superhero. Now she is in the same room with her idols. It would be strange if she is not nervous. Maybe she was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night.
Starlight indeed stayed up all night last night. One moment she was thinking about how to help Kratos cover up the murder, and the other moment she was thinking about the two of them falling in love together and becoming inseparable.
She carefully sat in her seat, forced a smile on her face, and couldn't help but think in her heart: The Super Seven's deep sea has been killed by us.
The Invisible Man said, "Can we continue our meeting? This is a serious crime. These bastards came out with pirated copies of my movie three weeks before it came out, and now you can buy it on Fifth Avenue."
"Did you know that copyright infringement causes a loss of 12 billion dollars annually, which is money taken out of our pockets?"
Motherland: "This matter is not important. The most serious problem now is to find the murderer of Locomotive. He is a member of our Super Seven. Killing Locomotive is a declaration of war on me."
Maeve drank a glass of wine and said to herself: Not everything has to do with you, you idiot.
Invisible Man: "The intelligence department has not discovered the whereabouts of the bald muscular man so far. He seems to have completely disappeared."
Motherland: "Put pressure on the intelligence agencies and let them stay awake 24 hours a day to find clues about the murderer."
Seeing the nervous look on Starlight's face, he said in a comforting tone: "We would like to thank Starlight for joining the Super Seven at this difficult time."
"At the same time, I also promise you that I will never let the Super Seven lose another member. You are all my comrades, and ensuring your safety is the bottom line of my motherland."
"The more we are in this period, the more we must share the same enemy, fight side by side, and become one... Where did Deep Sea go? Have any of you seen him?"
Ashley, the head of the Talent and Relations Department, suddenly opened the door and walked in: "Sorry for the motherland, but you must read this news."
She clicked on the remote control, and the TV on the screen was showing an emergency news.
A few young people playing on the beach today accidentally discovered a body floating in the sea. After identification, it was none other than Deep Sea, one of the Super Seven.
Several people present showed surprised expressions, and Starlight also tried his best to open his eyes wide, showing that he was at a loss.
The people of the motherland felt embarrassed, especially since he had just said that he wanted to protect the safety of others.
He said angrily: "Why do you allow this kind of news to appear?"
Ashley: "Those young people took a video and uploaded it to the Internet."
Motherland: "Delete the video online immediately, and no relevant news is allowed to be left."
Ashley: "Madeline has arranged for people to do it. The most important thing now is to hold a press conference to clarify our attitude."
The motherland people shook their heads: "How did Deep Sea die?"
Ashley: "According to the existing intelligence analysis, he died due to electric shock. And many people observed yesterday that lightning struck the sea on the uninhabited beach."
Motherland: "Did some superhuman do it?"
Ashley: "There are indeed superheroes who can discharge electricity, but triggering thunder and lightning in the sky is no longer a category of superpowers, but magic."
Starlight still maintained the expression on his face and complained in his heart: It's really a super power. I saw it with my own eyes yesterday.
Motherland: "So Deep Sea just happened to go swimming, and then happened to encounter a lightning strike?"
Ashley: "Madeline meant that Deep Sea, during his leisure time from superhero duties, goes to the beach to clean up the trash left by visitors."
"Shape him into a fighter who sacrifices his life for the environment and animal protection. The relevant press release is being prepared, and you just have to read it out with a sad expression."
"Locomotive was killed by someone. If Deep Sea is also killed by someone, then the strength of the Super Seven will be questioned by the public, and both your support and that of the company will be seriously affected."
Motherland nodded and approved of Ashley's approach. He didn't care about the truth about death in the deep sea. The drop in support was the most important thing.
Starlight's mood at this time was very contradictory.
When Vought Company wanted to make Deep Sea's death an accident, she felt relaxed that Kratos would not be held accountable for his murder.
But the result of the discussion between Ashley and Motherland turned out to be to use the death of Deep Sea to gain support from environmental and animal protection organizations for Watt Company, for the sake of profit.
Human lives and the truth of the matter are secondary. Not only the idols of the motherland think so, but the rest of the Super Seven also take it for granted.
She has dreamed of becoming a superhero since she was a child, fighting alongside the Super Seven to fight evil. But on the first day I entered Watt Company, I discovered that the work here was completely different from what I had imagined.
Maeve also saw the confusion on Starlight's face. She had also experienced this gap between ideals and reality.
Maeve, as someone who has come before, poured a glass of wine for Starlight: "Welcome to Walter Company!"
…
Ashley finished her work on death in the deep sea and hurried back to her office.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. The locomotive died a few days ago, and today it was discovered that Deep Sea is dead. Now the entire Watt Company is in chaos."
"Of course, it's an opportunity for you. The bigger the opening in the Super Sevens, the higher the chance you'll get in."
Kratos smiled and put a piece of contract on the table: "My secretary has made adjustments to the contract. You can sign it if you don't have any objections."
Siren stayed up all night last night to get superhero welfare information from various channels, and then drafted a contract for Kratos with benefits that far exceeded Starlight.
Ashley took the contract and read it over, feeling surprised and impressed.
She originally thought that Kratos was a novice in the workplace. After knowing that he could enter the world-famous Vought Company, he would definitely sign the contract without paying attention to the details.
But in fact, Kratos is very shrewd. He has clearly detailed every aspect of his work schedule, salary and benefits, the proportion of income from image-derived products, and the proportion of roles in movies.
And Kratos is very adventurous and dares to open his mouth. As a trainee, he wants more than the stars of the Super Seven.
If it were normal, Ashley would definitely not sign this contract. If she did, Madeleine would cause trouble for her.
But now is an extraordinary period for Vought. Two superheroes have died one after another, and they are in urgent need of fresh blood. Moreover, Kratos has gained a certain popularity on the Internet because he destroyed the Young Keith group.
Finally, Ashley signed the contract, shook hands with Kratos and said, "Welcome to Vought Company!"
