The expressions on Butcher, Frenchie, and Hughie's faces changed completely.
"Are you saying superheroes get their powers from drugs and vials?!" Frenchie couldn't help but curse.
Butcher couldn't suppress his fierce grin. "Hahaha... a bunch of bastards. I knew they were nothing but filthy scum."
"If we can gather evidence and bring Compound V to court, we'll bring down Vought!" Butcher couldn't contain his excitement.
As for Hughie, he was in shock. Just days ago, he was an ordinary person, and now he was hearing the most dangerous secret.
Just as they were laughing, they heard Roger's voice through the television. "Do you really think gathering evidence will bring down Vought?!"
"Are you idiots?! Just as they can create superheroes, they can also create terrorists abroad. The government won't be able to deal with superpowered terrorists except through Vought's heroes. Understand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Butcher, Frenchie, and Hughie stopped laughing, realizing there were many things they didn't know about Vought.
"Now, let's focus on the invisible man."
"Right, I almost forgot about him," Frenchie couldn't help but curse.
"Do you have a way to kill him? We've tried everything. And also, we don't know what to call you." Butcher had no choice but to cooperate with Roger now—the other side was ahead of them in information and equipment.
"You can call me Doflamingo, or Joker—call me whatever you want."
"As for how to kill him, it's simple. Frenchie, can you hear me?"
"Yes, I hear you." Frenchie was surprised to hear his name mentioned.
"Frenchie, I'm going to show you a video on how to kill the invisible man. Show me your creativity."
The next moment, the screen changed to a video of a turtle. It showed its head emerging from its shell, and the moment it sensed danger, it buried its head back inside.
Frenchie watched the video, and his eyes lit up with a diabolical idea.
"Of course! How didn't I think of that? From the outside, he's hard as diamond, but inside, he's just like us—soft, normal intestines!"
"Well done, Frenchie. The rest is up to you. Listen, I'll hack the chip implanted in the invisible man and try to disrupt the signal to Vought so they can't pinpoint his last location. That'll buy you time to blow him up, but you need to hurry."
Frenchie and Butcher were filled with excitement—having support in the mission felt incredible.
"Right, and I want Hughie to be the one to detonate the invisible man."
Hughie turned to the screen, surprised. "Why me specifically?!"
"Hughie, this is your first test. Do you want revenge for your girlfriend, or do you want to remain trapped at home, a doormat for everyone to trample? This is your chance—the first step toward freeing yourself from the past."
Hughie couldn't help but swallow hard as he thought about what he was about to do. He was going to kill one of the most famous heroes in the world.
Frenchie got to work. While he was working, a small drone aircraft entered, carrying two empty vials to the hideout or warehouse.
"These are two vials. When you blow up the invisible man, collect some of his blood in them, and the drone will return them to me."
Butcher, Hughie, and Frenchie looked at the drone, mouths agape at its advanced technology. They had never seen such design and precision—it had entered without them even sensing it.
"Are you really a scientist?!" Hughie couldn't help but ask what was on his mind.
"Of course. I'm a scientist with advanced technology the world doesn't have. I'm the only one who created it and owns it."
Frenchie finished making the bomb and approached the invisible man. He placed it somewhere no one would ever want to be. When he finished, Butcher and Frenchie began telling the invisible man about the bomb, and he started spilling secrets, fearing death. After he finished talking and thought he was free...
Frenchie placed the detonator in Hughie's hand. "Hughie, now it's time to show your courage. Blow him to pieces."
Hughie couldn't help but hold the detonator, his hand shaking.
Roger's voice echoed. "Hughie, I can give you a forged passport and identity—Vought won't be able to find you. But if you want to become a man and avenge what happened in the past, there's no going back. Understand? Think about what you want to become."
Hearing Roger's words, Hughie reflected on his situation. He remembered his father urging him to sign the Vought document, the humiliation he felt, his girlfriend dying before his eyes while her killer partied, sang, and lived happily. He couldn't bear living such a life anymore.
Hughie didn't hesitate. Looking at a picture of a child on the wall with the caption "Keep your hands clean," he pressed the detonator!
"BOOM!!"
Blood and entrails from the invisible man burst from the cage and scattered across the room!
The moment the invisible man died, Roger's voice echoed. "Frenchie, what are you waiting for? Collect his blood before it dries or rots."
Frenchie snapped out of the magnificent scene in his mind and began collecting the blood. As soon as he finished filling the two vials...
Roger's voice echoed. "Well done, Frenchie. Look at your phone."
Frenchie looked at his phone and couldn't help but curse!
A message had arrived in his bank account—over a hundred million dollars!!
Are you kidding me? Just for collecting two vials, I got an amount I never imagined in my life?
"From now on, if Mr. Doflamingo says right, there's only right! I'm at your service, sir!" he shouted with excitement.
