Chapter 52 No more escaping
The motherland man squeezed Kevin's shoulders at the end, actually very hard.
If it were an ordinary person, his shoulders would have been crushed long ago.
But fortunately, Kevin's physique is pretty good. Although it's certainly not as good as the natives and Maeve, it should at least be comparable to Starlight's.
Although the strength of the motherland was great, it only made Kevin's shoulders red and swollen at most.
This injury, with Kevin's [Accelerated Self-Healing] skill, can return to normal in just a moment.
From this point of view, the people of the motherland look menacing, but they don’t seem to have any intention of killing Kevin, at least not yet.
He probably just wanted to come over and give Kevin a beating and let him know who is the boss in the seven-man team.
But he didn't expect to hit a wall with Kevin. Not only did Kevin hold his hand, he also had strength far beyond what he had before.
Maybe it's still not as good as the people of the motherland, but it's enough for the people of the motherland to be afraid of.
Now Kevin can sense the blood flow in the people of the motherland at will. After his skill level increases, he can control the blood in the people of the motherland.
Manipulating blood can cause harm to people from the inside. Even if the people of the motherland are strong and have thick flesh and blood, they will definitely not be able to withstand Kevin's internal destruction.
Of course, this premise is that Kevin LV5's water flow control can cause harm to the people of the motherland.
Previously, Kevin decided to save skill points to improve himself first, so he did not use any of the remaining nine skill points and kept them all.
According to this progress, if he meets Kimiko tomorrow or goes to visit the survivors of the hijacking incident, his skills will slowly increase, and it won't take long before he can accumulate sixteen skill points.
Kevin will be able to upgrade one of his LV4 skills to LV5 at that time.
But it's still hard for Kevin to decide whether to improve his physical fitness or improve his water flow control.
The improvement of physical fitness should make Kevin have the same physical fitness as the people of the motherland, at least able to withstand beatings.
As for water flow control, although it has not yet been pointed out as an extended skill of magic, the control of water flow alone is enough to make this skill become Kevin's first output method.
One for attack and one for defence.
It is said that the best defense is offense, but Kevin prefers to maximize his physical fitness first.
It's just useless to think about it now. Regardless of his physique or water control ability, he has no skill points to upgrade now.
So Kevin just thought about it for a moment, then stopped thinking about it and turned to look at Annie:
"You worked hard just now. It's okay now. Let's go back."
"...What did you just say to the people of the motherland?"
After making sure Kevin was okay, Annie asked the question on her mind.
When Kevin mentioned 'Compound No. 5', his voice could only be heard by the people of the motherland. Anne did not hear it clearly, so she was curious about what method Kevin used to make the people of the motherland surrender and retreat.
In response, Kevin came up with the answer he had already prepared:
"Concerning the group boss, the people of the motherland are most afraid of him."
"Mr. Edgar?"
"Yes, it's not convenient for me to say more about other things. Anyway..."
Kevin took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Don't worry too much about the people of the motherland in the future. If they come to trouble you, just come to me."
Kevin said seriously.
This sentence represents Kevin's determination to confront the people of his motherland.
There is no way, the people of the motherland are not so easy to deal with.
Although Kevin previously thought that as long as he coaxed the people of his motherland, nothing would happen to him.
But after what happened today, Kevin realized.
No matter how much he had been on his side before, or whether Kevin had any intention of going against the people of the motherland, as long as the people of the motherland believed that Kevin was a threat, there would never be less disputes between the two in the future.
Blind evasion and flattery are no longer feasible.
It was true that Kevin wanted to lie down, but he was not the kind of person who would be bullied to the point of being bullied and still do nothing.
So from now on, Kevin plans to cultivate his own strength within the seven-man team.
Starlight Anne was the first person Kevin attracted.
Well, even if Kevin doesn't say anything, Annie will stand by Kevin unconditionally.
What Kevin said touched some point in Annie's heart.
Her eyes sparkled even more when she looked at Kevin, as if she had exerted her own superpower.
Being stared at by Annie's shining eyes, Kevin felt a little uncomfortable and found a reason to end the topic:
"Well, that's what it is anyway. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Okay, by the way, don't forget about tomorrow."
Before leaving, Annie reminded her again.
Kevin was startled for a moment and quickly reacted:
"Tomorrow? Oh, you want to buy Catholic paraphernalia, right? Remember, I'll call you tomorrow."
After hurriedly finishing the conversation with Annie, Kevin returned home to rest.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Kevin was woken up by the alarm clock as usual.
He first fed the pet fish in the fish tank as usual, and then began to organize the day's schedule.
In the morning, he and Annie both had things to do.
Kevin wants to visit the survivors of the hijacking, firstly to cooperate with the Vought Group in publicity, and secondly to gain new skill points through these people.
Currently, Kevin only has a few skill points left to light up a level five skill. To be honest, he can't wait.
There is nothing to do in the afternoon, so I can go out with Annie.
However, this situation is uncertain.
With Kevin's current popularity, maybe there will be a new announcement in the afternoon.
It was already noon when I came to work at the company and completed the routine publicity work and condolences to the survivors.
Although Kevin still has a movie to shoot on hand, because of his heroic feat of saving the plane, he has to promote it recently, so the shooting of the movie will have to be postponed.
Moreover, the movie script seems to be changing now. I heard that the screenwriter was inspired by the hijacking incident and wants to slightly change the plot in the middle part.
As a result, the filming progress has been suspended, and it will take some time to reshoot.
After getting off work at noon and making sure that there would be no other trips in the afternoon, Kevin planned to leave the Watt Building.
But before leaving the building, Kevin met someone on the road.
One of the members of the Seven, Locomotive.
The locomotive didn't know what he was thinking about. He walked past Kevin without paying attention to his presence, and his expression was quite dazed.
Until Kevin stopped him.
"Hey, locomotive."
"!"
The locomotive's footsteps suddenly stopped. The moment Kevin called him, he seemed to have thought of something, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he turned around stiffly and looked at Kevin:
"Uh, hi, Deepsea."
The locomotive's reaction was obvious, and Kevin could feel many controllable water sources emerging from the surface of his body.
This made Kevin smile a little brighter. He walked up to the locomotive, raised his hand and patted his shoulder:
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a while. How have you been lately?"
"It's okay, what's the matter?"
"Don't be so nervous."
Kevin squeezed the locomotive's shoulders, just like the motherland squeezed his shoulders yesterday, and said lightly:
"I just want to know, you didn't tell anyone about what happened that day, right?"
"me……"
Kevin's question was not what Locomotive expected.
When seeing Kevin appear here safe and sound today, Locomotive knew that the people of the motherland did not really make Kevin feel 'scared' yesterday.
Instead, he told Kevin about saving Kimiko, and Kevin knew about it.
Thinking of Kevin's improved abilities, Locomotive was speechless and began to shed more and more sweat.
The train didn’t know if it was his imagination.
The moment Kevin put his hand on his shoulder, he felt as if the water he had just drank was rumbling in his stomach.
Locomotive was too nervous to speak. Kevin felt the fear emanating from Locomotive, and his smile became even brighter:
"Okay, I believe you are not someone who would betray your brother. The people of the motherland will know about this. He must have heard it accidentally somewhere."
"Sorry, Deep Sea, I...didn't mean to tell..."
"I told you not to be so nervous. Look at you, you're sweating."
Kevin seemed very concerned and thoughtfully took out a tissue and handed it to the engine.
But as soon as the locomotive took the tissue, Kevin whispered:
"I don't care what you said to the people of the motherland, but I don't want something like this to happen again next time, okay?"
"..."
"Go and get busy. I think you still have a lot of things to deal with."
After warning the locomotive, Kevin stopped embarrassing the guy who had been threatened by himself and his motherland. He left him and walked into the exclusive elevator of the Seven.
Leaning against the elevator, Kevin thought for a moment as the elevator went down.
After a while, he suddenly took out his mobile phone and dialed Ashley's number:
"Ashley, it's me, Deep Sea. You should have Shockwave's contact information, right? Give me his phone number. I have something to talk to him about."
