—------------------—

Over the past few months, under the guidance of Brainy Ape, Ashley’s path to the presidential election has proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

Her popularity has been climbing steadily, and she is getting closer and closer to that chair in the White House, making her look full of high spirits.

Of course, this wouldn’t have been possible without the paving of the way by veterans behind the scenes.

I can fulfill my promise later.

"Sir, did you ask for me?" Ashley held a tablet and pushed the door open as she walked in.

Lucas didn’t speak; he simply took a syringe out of the drawer, which shimmered with a faint blue luster, though the color looked deeper than standard Compound V.

He placed the syringe gently on the desktop.

Ashley’s gaze fell on the syringe, and her eyes flickered slightly.

Having stayed at Vought for so long, she naturally recognized what that thing was: Compound V.

With Lucas’s authority, even if he were to pee Compound V into the moat, no one would dare to stop him.

"Sir, is this... Compound V?" Ashley asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Do you know about the Odessa Program?" Lucas didn’t answer, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question.

Ashley nodded.

Her authority was extremely high now, and she could already access many of Vought’s most core secrets.

"I know, that was a top-secret experimental program from Vought’s early years."

She said slowly, "That program eventually succeeded in creating two Supes; one is Marie Moreau, who is currently still under supervision, and the other is Homelander."

"But up until now, the Odessa Program is considered... how should I put it, not such a successful experiment."

"Correct."

Lucas nodded; the Odessa Program was from the The Boys spin-off, Gen V.

Thinking of Gen V was even harder to keep a straight face.

Homelander’s ending was indeed hasty, but Gen V was even more fucking hasty; showing his face at the end made people think he was going to appear, but he just drove off in a car.

Marie Moreau’s power wasn’t highlighted at all.

Instead, she became a clown.

Lucas reached out and pointed to the syringe on the table, "This is an improved version of Compound V with no side effects. The Supes it can create are even more powerful than those from the Odessa Program. Do you know what this means?"

Ashley’s brain felt as if it had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

She instantly understood what Lucas meant, suddenly raised her head, and her expression changed repeatedly.

"Sir, I... I definitely don’t have that idea!"

"I have always been your loyal dog!"

"Whatever you tell me to do, I will do it; I would never dare to disobey, even if it were to eat your excrement..."

Lucas looked constipated.

"Ashley, actually, you are quite a talent!" Lucas gave a thumbs up, "Of course, I’m not talking about your ability, but your unparalleled expressive ability!"

"You can always bring me immense shock in ordinary conversations!"

Ashley smiled a bit embarrassedly.

It’s just showing loyalty!

Furthermore, in many high-level socialite circles, there are quite a few who play in perverse ways. If Lucas were to shout, a bunch of people wearing gold masks would definitely come over.

Excrement?

What ordinary people poop is called excrement, but if it’s produced by a Guardian, what if it’s an elixir of immortality!

"Enough, what kind of dirty thoughts are in your head again." Lucas clapped his hands.

Once back in The Boys, he had to suppress his power; it was restricted much more than in the invincible world, feeling like living in a world built of paper.

"I wouldn’t dare!"

"Enough nonsense, Ashley. Inject this syringe into your veins, and you will become a Supe!"

"You will not only be the first female president in America’s history, but also a female president with superpowers."

"From what I know of you, your superpower will also be one of the most powerful on the planet. From now on, no one will be able to threaten you!"

Lucas curled his lips, "Even Homelander! Are you really not tempted?"

Ashley’s breathing became rapid.

Being more powerful than Homelander meant she could trample Homelander under her feet, and in the future, she could scold him however she wanted without bearing any pressure.

She had almost no hesitation.

"I accept, Sir. Please bestow power upon me!"

Lucas nodded with satisfaction, threw the syringe over, and it stuck into the side of Ashley’s neck.

The faint blue liquid was slowly injected into her body.

The effect was almost instantaneous.

A sudden mutation occurred.

"Ugh..."

Ashley groaned, and her whole body trembled violently.

The massive energy contained in that improved Compound V was surging crazily inside her body, reshaping her genetic sequence.

Unlike the tragic, life-or-death experience of the original version, her body did not fester, nor did it bleed. That energy flowed gently along her blood vessels, reshaping every one of her cells.

Ashley only felt her five senses become exceptionally sharp, and her mind became clear.

Her brain before was simply like it was covered in brain fog.

And the most magical thing was that countless noisy voices rushed into her mind at this moment without warning.

Those were the thoughts of everyone in the entire Vought Tower.

The lady at the front desk downstairs was complaining to herself that today’s coffee was terrible; the manager of the department next door seemed to be calculating how to withhold employees’ bonuses and then use his position at Vought to line his own pockets.

Two interns in the hallway were gossiping about their own anal sex transactions with a Guardian...

Hundreds upon thousands of chaotic thoughts, like a tide, instantly engulfed Ashley.

"This... this is..." Ashley widened her eyes, in disbelief.

Mind reading!

She could actually hear the voices from deep within others’ hearts!

Lucas looked at her shocked expression, his face calm, "It shouldn’t be just this; keep developing it, maybe there are other abilities!"

Ashley forced herself to endure the chaotic thoughts in her mind and subconsciously focused her gaze on Lucas.

But the next second, her expression became strange.

"Sir, I... I cannot read any of your thoughts!"

"Your mind is like a void that cannot be peered into!"

"It is simply... too great!"

Lucas nodded, "I am immune to mental control. Even if I were to open my mind for you to read, the things I see would be able to dissolve your mind!"

This was really not bragging.

To ordinary people, the things in his brain were almost comparable to Cthulhu.

"Use your superpower on someone else! See if there are any additional derived abilities; mind reading alone is still too useless."

Ashley was skeptical, but she didn’t even need to get used to her ability; it was like an instinct, reading into a passing janitor.

"This floor is already cleaned, hurry to the next floor, otherwise the manager will deduct my salary again, that son of a bitch..."

"It’s not finished, sweep it again!"

Ashley said subconsciously. The janitor was about to leave, but a second later, he stopped in a daze.

"Hey, how could I forget, this floor isn’t finished yet!"

After speaking, he pushed the cleaning cart and returned to his original position.

Ashley was instantly shocked.

She had successfully rewritten that person’s memory!

Mind reading, mind rewriting.

This is a set of superpowers, and, it seems there are no side effects!

Ashley was an old PR pro; of course, she knew that peering into others’ deepest secrets and rewriting memories was like adding wings to a tiger for a politician about to reach the pinnacle of power.

"Sir, wait for me a moment!"

Ashley suddenly started running fast, but with one step, the high heels under her feet were crushed directly into powder, and even half of her foot sank into the floor.

"Oh, fuck!"

Ashley cursed, and ran out with uneven steps.

A few minutes later.

She had a bottle of lubricant in her hand.

"Sir, I can..."

"Are you fucking biting the hand that feeds you?! Get out, Ashley! Or I’ll blow your head off!"

Lucas let out a breath in one second.
