"It has been one year since the Metropolis incident. At this time last year, on August 4, 2006, our most prosperous and affluent city suffered the most heartbreaking disaster, with over 4,315 citizens killed!"
The black congresswoman said in an emotional tone, "But the government turned a deaf ear to our pain. They pretended nothing happened and ignored the victims' families. How can such an absurd thing happen in this world? The culprits who destroyed our homes, the executioners who killed us, can openly escape the law!"
"Such anti-human acts in a democratic and free America are absolutely intolerable! The government must give us an explanation, and Homelander and Superman must face the judgment of law and the people!"
Superman!"
Some agitated individuals took off their slogan-printed clothes and began to wave them, and some even started to attack the police and staff responsible for security at the scene.
The scene immediately devolved into chaos.
"Brother!"
Rachel said to Eric with some distress, "Don't be too sad. No matter what happens, I will always stand by you, brother."
"Then I must thank our Raven!"
Eric was not affected by the images on the television. He smiled slightly at Rachel, took her hand, and walked out of the school's public lounge.
Eric was, of course, aware of the recent "anti-Homelander and Superman" trend sweeping society.
But he did not take the opposition of these people to heart.
No matter how much they clamored, it would not harm him in reality.
What he should be more careful about were the actions the government might take against him in private.
Eric held his sister's hand, walked out of the teaching building, and looked at the warm sky, his expression becoming a bit more serious.
Meanwhile, at the Department of Defense.
General Swanwick was looking displeased at Amanda Waller, who exuded an imposing aura and gave the impression of a strong woman.
She was the creator of the Suicide Squad in the original world and one of the leaders of the Tianyan Society, which dealt with metahuman affairs.
Amanda Waller had originally been imprisoned by Eric in the Shadow Land, a "hell" that forced humans to confront their inner demons.
Although most humans captured by Devourer of Heaven and taken there were almost all devoured by these terrifying inner demons.
But she stubbornly survived inside and trained a powerful mental force there.
Eric released her, but on the condition that she must cooperate with him, otherwise he could imprison her again at any time.
Amanda, who had finally regained a new life, had had enough of this dark and endless torment and had developed an intense fear of Eric.
Facing Eric's coercion, she had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Although she had now returned to the U.S. government, she had privately become Eric's person.
Despite the fact that she was constantly thinking about how to break free from Eric's control.
"Ms. Waller, please forgive me, but I cannot agree to your request."
General Swanwick said to her with some difficulty, "I have already given you all the data from the Metropolis battle. As for the remaining content you call for my cooperation, I apologize, but these are beyond my administrative authority."
"Superhumans, especially those not controlled by the government, pose a threat to this society, which has become known to everyone after the Metropolis incident. They—need to be contained!"
Amanda's gaze was fixed on General Swanwick's eyes, "So the government ordered me to…"
