Chapter 107 Soldier: That Damn Blonde Freak...
Butcher wasn’t going to let it go that easily.
A media outlet called "Voice of Truth" continued to hit them hard.
In the early hours of the morning, they released a public video.
[Exclusive Breaking News!! The shocking dark secrets of the superhero "Stormfront" exposed!]
Once the video was released, the view count skyrocketed.
Vought didn’t even have time to suppress the heat before the video hit the front page.
The footage showed a nursing home under Vought’s banner.
Deep underground.
One adult after another, bound to operating tables, was forcibly injected with the modified version of compound v.
The vast majority bled from their seven orifices on the spot, their skin burst, and their genes collapsed, killing them. In violent convulsions, they dissolved into puddles of blood.
In the video, it was just the moment Stormfront came to inquire about the experimental records.
"No good, this batch is ruined again. How is the temporary compound v situation?"
"Speed it up, get more people! There are so many undocumented immigrants, if that doesn’t work, just buy a few!"
The second half of the video contained detailed information about Stormfront.
Stacks of yellowed old newspapers and scanned copies of old magazines, all from the last century, but the content was quite shocking!
Racist! Nazi sympathizer! Disgrace to humanity!
It was all the things Stormfront did back in the days when she was a Nazi in the last century.
She wasn’t some veteran superhero at all! She was just a product of a Nazi laboratory.
And at Sage Grove Center, the person guarding the test subjects for her was also trending. It was none other than Lamplighter, who had long since disappeared from The Seven.
Public opinion exploded.
#StormfrontIsANazi# #VoughtConcentrationCamp# #Sage Grove Center# The viral hashtags hit the trending list.
The public began to bombard Vought.
"What kind of dirty business is Vought doing behind our backs!"
"They aren’t building concentration camps, are they!"
"Those missing people, those homeless people, were they all captured to be used for experiments?"
"Investigate Vought thoroughly! Reveal the whole truth!"
Vought was being roasted over the fire.
...
Lucas woke up early in the morning and saw this video. His phone was still on silent, with over a dozen calls from Ashley.
Stormfront’s secret was out.
Butcher, that fruit knife, was truly damn handy to use.
That paranoid man only had eyes for Homelander. It was just that... he had been used by Lucas to deal with Clara.
"Sir!" When Lucas returned to Vought Tower, Ashley looked triumphant.
"I told you that bitch would bring big trouble to Vought sooner or later. Let’s rip her heart out, sir!!"
Ashley was a woman who held grudges.
"Hey, no rush. Go help me maintain my image; don’t let this matter affect me!"
Ashley said, "It’s already been arranged. Although Vought has been pushed to the forefront of the storm, consequently... your reputation has also been somewhat affected."
"However, I have already pushed all the videos of you doing interviews, charity, and public welfare up."
"The public response is very good!"
She tapped the video on the tablet.
[...However, let me reveal to everyone that Stormfront seems to have a lot of hostility toward me.]
[...We are not quite sure where this hostility comes from. Recently, she has been instigating John...]
[...I have a premonition that perhaps, something bad is about to happen.]
The public suddenly realized, so that’s how it was. It turned out Guardian had already sensed something. Could it be... that this exposure was also done by Guardian?
Opening the comment section: "Guardian is truly Guardian, his insight is sharp!"
"I said long ago that Stormfront wasn’t good, Guardian saw it right!"
"Guardian: I warned you.jpg"
Lucas hadn’t even had time to be swept up in the narrative before the clarification video boosted his popularity again. This is what you call foresight! His reputation rose in reverse.
...
But Homelander was out of luck. Stormfront was a member of The Seven, and Homelander was the captain; he couldn’t escape responsibility.
What was even more fatal was that during this time, Stormfront had been frantically building up momentum for Homelander online, putting others down to lift him up, and inciting racial antagonism—all those messy things were dug up.
The public naturally equated Homelander with this old Nazi.
"Homelander is actually in cahoots with the Nazis!"
"No wonder he’s always pushing that ’pure-blooded America hero’ stuff; it turns out he wanted to push that racial agenda!"
"So Homelander was the one supporting it from behind the scenes!"
"Disgusting! Unfollowed!"
"What kind of trash is Homelander? I knew his brand of protein powder had a weird taste!"
Homelander’s personal approval rating plummeted overnight. The reputation he had worked so hard to build was completely wiped out. The public’s tolerance for Nazis is very low. Especially in America.
...
Vought Tower.
"Bang!" Homelander punched and shattered an entire wall.
"Clara!!" Homelander roared, instantly rushing in front of Stormfront.
Stormfront was also overwhelmed. The persona and identity she had meticulously cultivated crumbled overnight.
"Homelander, calm down!" She tried to remain calm, "This matter is just an accident. Those studies are top-secret; no one should have known about them at all!"
"It’s a mole! It must be a mole who stole the stuff!" She racked her brain, anxious to exonerate herself. Then, she blurted out.
"It’s Guardian! It must be Guardian! Only he has the ability and the motive! It’s him framing us behind our backs!"
"Snap!" Homelander grabbed her by the throat, lifted her up with one hand, his eyes full of rage.
"You... still have the face to say it’s Guardian!"
"Damn bitch!!"
Stormfront’s face flushed red, her feet kicking in mid-air, as if she had reached the peak of her life.
"It’s you! It’s you, you damn old Nazi!"
"You were the one who insisted on pulling those stunts online, tying me to you! You dragged me down!"
"My approval rating! I was supposed to be adored by the masses! It was all ruined by you!!"
"You still want to splash dirty water on Guardian even now?"
"He has never made my approval rating drop!"
Stormfront was choked until she could barely breathe. If Homelander really used his full strength, Stormfront couldn’t withstand it; she wasn’t some old popsicle who had undergone decades of torture and strengthening.
"Cough... cough... John... listen to me..."
"Don’t call me by my name, bitch! You don’t deserve it!!"
Stormfront tried desperately to explain. But Homelander was blinded by rage and couldn’t listen at all. He wanted to crush this woman who had destroyed everything of his into pulp on the spot!
Just then.
"Bang!!" The door to the conference room was kicked flying with a single blow.
Soldier Boy strode in.
He had originally come to have a private conversation with Clara, but what he saw was this scene: Homelander was about to strangle Clara to death.
"Let her go." Soldier Boy looked furious.
Homelander turned his head, his eyes full of extreme impatience.
"Get lost!! Be careful or I’ll kill you too! This is our internal business, not for trash like you to butt in!"
"Get lost?" Soldier Boy grinned, laughing with extreme ferocity.
"Damn blond freak, if I don’t beat the shit out of you today, I’ll take your last name!"
