203. Chapter 203: A-Train's Death Was Completely an Accident
As soon as Xia Shang finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
A-Train's face was extremely grim. He had originally thought that with his identity as a superhero, Xia Shang would swallow his anger, but unexpectedly, the other party dared to directly defy him, putting him in an awkward position.
So, he decided to teach Xia Shang a lesson.
He instantly appeared before Xia Shang, preparing to pull down Xia Shang's pants. At this moment, Homelander and Stormfront, sitting on the sofa, simultaneously revealed smiles, as if they would see Xia Shang's embarrassment in the next second.
Bang! The smiles on their faces suddenly froze.
Looking up, Xia Shang pressed A-Train's head with one hand and slammed it fiercely onto the ground! One! Two! Three!! A-Train's nose bridge was directly smashed, and blood flowed all over the floor. Although he was already dazed from the impact, Xia Shang still didn't stop. The sound of hard objects hitting echoed continuously in the Locker Room.
Bang! Bang!!! The smiles on Homelander's and Stormfront's faces had completely vanished. They all wore solemn expressions, as if it wasn't just A-Train being hit, but their own faces as well.
A-Train didn't know how many times his head had been slammed into the ground. His entire head was a bloody mess, completely unrecognizable from its original appearance.
Xia Shang, who was usually impeccably dressed, now looked like a demon, dragging A-Train to the TV screen.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it. Don't blame me for being heavy-handed," Xia Shang grinned sinisterly.
His white suit was already stained red with blood, looking particularly chilling.
"That's enough, are you really trying to kill him?" Homelander spoke up to stop him.
However, Xia Shang ignored Homelander. Instead, he looked at A-Train, who was like a dead dog in his hand. The next second, the TV screen was violently smashed, and countless glass shards were embedded into A-Train's forehead. Through the blurry flesh and blood, one could even see the pale white skull inside. On the forehead of the skull, there was a dense network of cracks.
It was absolutely shocking! "Calm down, Mr. Jervis!"
Homelander stood up, his face cold.
Boom! Xia Shang's left arm muscles bulged, and his five fingers exerted force suddenly. With the final blow, he completely smashed A-Train's head right in front of Homelander. Instantly, viscous pulpy substance, along with skull fragments, splattered everywhere.
"Am I not calm enough?" Xia Shang wiped the brain matter from his face, then turned his head to look at Homelander, smiling.
A-Train, with his shriveled head, was held up by one hand, clearly lifeless.
"A useless piece of trash with no use value, daring to act presumptuously in front of me. Do you really think I have a good temper?"
Xia Shang casually threw the corpse in his hand away, then calmly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Blitz, the Head of Security Department.
"A-Train is dead. Send a few trustworthy guys to handle his corpse. Oh, and help me prepare a brand new suit. I still have to go on stage later." Xia Shang acted completely unlike someone who had just killed. His tone was as if he was stating a trivial matter.
Such a contrasting display sent chills down the spines of the Superheroes present! Seeing The Deep and the others frozen in place, Xia Shang picked up the juice from the coffee table nearby, took a sip, and said calmly, "A-Train's death was completely an accident, a sudden death caused by a heart attack. As a Vought Vice President, I deeply regret his unexpected passing. He was a senior member of The Seven and made outstanding contributions to Vought International.
It's a pity that due to physical reasons, he has left us forever... How does this narrative sound? Are there any parts that need changing?"
His gaze swept over Homelander, Stormfront, The Deep, and Black Noir one by one. After a few seconds of silence throughout the room.
Stormfront was the first to applaud and laugh, saying, "A perfect narrative, simply impeccable. Mr. Jervis, you truly impress me."
"I don't like being lied to. I'm warning you, this is the last time."
Homelander's anger wasn't because Xia Shang killed A-Train, but because Xia Shang's disguise made him feel very uncomfortable.
Soon, several security personnel entered the Locker Room. They put A-Train's corpse into a body bag and also cleaned up the bloodstain in the room. During this time, they occasionally stole glances at Homelander. It was clear that they thought Homelander had killed A-Train himself.
"Good work. I will have Blitz give you your labor compensation, but please remember... forget everything that happened tonight. I don't want to hear any gossip later. If you can't do that, you know the consequences. I don't mind personally delivering your bereavement payment to your families."
Xia Shang's tone was gentle, but the words he spoke made the security personnel feel deep fear. They nodded repeatedly: "We understand the rules. Nothing happened today. We don't know anything."
"NONONO, shouldn't you have discovered A-Train's corpse after a passerby called the police? By the time you arrived, he had already died of sudden death due to a heart attack. Then, at the strong request of his family, he was sent for cremation."
"That's right, we were too nervous and forgot. We are truly sorry, Mr. Jervis." The security personnel bowed at the waist and echoed.
"Go ahead. Tonight's remuneration will satisfy you."
...
An hour later.
The tryouts reached the second half. 36 fighters were eliminated in this round, and only 12 successfully advanced to the grand finale. The judges for the grand finale will be Xia Shang and the Superheroes of The Seven.
"Next, let's welcome the most dazzling star tonight, the strongest Supe in the United States, Homelander!!"
"Homelander, I love you!" In the stands, a hot blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Homelander!"
"Homelander!!!"
The atmosphere instantly reached its peak. Homelander's popularity goes without saying; even the hottest Hollywood star today is far less than Homelander. The fans waved the Stars and Stripes flags in their hands, cheering and shouting for Homelander's appearance!
However, Homelander below the stage at this moment was in a very bad mood.
Because he had just received a phone call from Stan Edgar and learned the information that Ryan had been kidnapped over the phone.
It goes without saying that it must have been Billy and them. Besides them, no one would have such guts to dare to kidnap his son.
What puzzled him, however, was that Queen Maeve was also in the car at the time, and she was actually knocked out by a few cans of high-concentration halothane. The absurdity of this matter is no less than an ant arm-wrestling a lion and the ant winning in the end.
