The moment I say this, the scared supes try to run but I extend my will on the air around me and with a knife-hand horizontal slash, a pressurized wind blade cut through their waist and didn't stop till it cut through the wall, creating a loud sound of something breaking.

Blood splash out of their bodies as their torso fell, displaying all of their innards and guts as the blood start to soak the carpeted floor.

Unsurprisingly, Ryan didn't puke or even frown but rather he looked at all this and me with shining eyes.

...The poor kid's been fucked up. I wanted to delay it but I guess in his case this is a blessing in disguise, it's better for him to start like this and grow with it than to rather grow and now start to change.

With the commotion I've caused, they should've notified Homelander by now... if he isn't already on his way.

"Ryan, what do you think about going to rescue Aunt Maeve?"

I ask with a smile as I turn to face him.

"Do you know where she is?"

Ryan asks expectantly.

"Yeah, actually she is right here in this Tower."

I say with a smile as I extend my sense downwards in a cone-like shape and detect Maeve underground in a cage-like room.

Maeve is one of few friends in this world and I intend to keep her safe, to be honest, it's already a miracle the lunatic hasn't killed her.

I have countless theories as to why he's keeping her like a pet and from my observations and calculations, he probably wants to use her as a breeding machine.

It isn't factual so unless I read his mind, my theory isn't going to be confirmed but I don't care..all that matters is that I free her.

"Then let's go."

Ryan exclaims excitedly.

I nod with a smile and grab his hand and the next moment I leave the room into the corridor.

As we walk along the corridor, the employees around look at me with shock and slightly fearful expressions laced with respect since they thought I was dead and didn't expect me here.

They don't bother us and stay away with some of them making calls and when we are about to enter the elevator, it suddenly opens on its own.

Inside, three male supes are looking at me with mixed expressions on their faces. The three supes: Behemoth, Big Game, and Nubian Prince.

Behemoth, who is a hulking figure of seven feet three inches is standing right in front in his skin-tight black full-body suit that even highlights his dick.

Hmmm, to be honest, I'm kinda feeling insulted. I mean I can understand Nubian Prince and Big Game since one can fly and one is almost as strong as Maeve but

Behemoth? Sigh.....

"So you guys actually think, you can do something to me?"

I deadpan at them and this makes Big Game and Nubian glance at each other with wry smiles.

"It's not that man, you've got to understand our position. If we don't at least do something, Ashley will rat as out to Homelander, and well... you know."

Nubian Prince explains with a forced smile.

"I understand Gerald so imma give you two options. One, you step aside and wait till I deal with Homelander, or two, you guys die. It's as simple as that."

I say nonchalantly with a calm smile, making Gerald sweatdrop as Big Game stays in his place with a weird face, obviously not knowing what to do.

But I know what Gerald will choose without even peeking at his mind, hehe, even until now what I did still haunts him.

"Yo guys let's just step aside."

He advises as he looks at Big Game and Behemoth.

"You sure?"

"Yeah man just trust me on this, I know what I'm doing."

Nubian replies, making Big Game take in a deep breath and then nod at him.

A smile comes to my face when I see this and so I look at Behemoth who is repeatedly breathing in and out with a hideous look on his face.

"Fucking cowards, after I'm done with him I'll make sure Homelander knows about this!"

Behemoth roars and dashes towards me; his shoulder positioned in front of him with a mad look on his face. At the back, Nubian Prince shakes his head at the sight of this as Ryan tightens his grip on my hand and glances at me.

I shake my head and with a wave of my hand, his body and neck warp to inhuman angles, making his raging body fall down dead right in front of me.

With a smile on my face, I ruffle Ryan's hair and glance at Big Game who has a look of fear and disbelief on his face as Nubian Prince heaves a sigh of relief.

"You know what Ryan, I have a fun way of getting us to Maeve. Just hold on tight."

I say and when Ryan nods, we float off the floor.

I stretch my hand towards the ground and gently clutch it. The next instant, the floor beneath us stretches apart, creating a wide hole that reveals multiple similar-sized holes in the lower floors beneath it.

Without wasting time, we rapidly descend through the holes floor by floor, ignoring the fearful and shocked looks of the employees and supes as we did so with Ryan looking at all this with a sheepish smile.

Two minutes later, we arrive at the dark underground part of the Tower and descend onto the ground as the guards aim their weapons at us.

The moment they recognize me, they apologize respectfully and quickly leave the place.

I ignore this and walk along the dark corridor together with Ryan and arrive in front of the cage-like all-white room that has transparent walls with a huge metallic door on it.

Maeve is quietly sitting there in the room in all-white clothing, hugging her knees.

"Maeve."

I call out and this draws her attention.

"Virgil? Is that you? You look...Uhm, different."

She says with widened eyes as she gets up and comes in front of the transparent walls.

"Yeah I know, how've you been?"

I ask sarcastically with a smile.

"As you can see, I've never been better. Never knew being treated as shit can make me look this fine."

She says sarcastically as she rolls her eyes with a smile.

"I want to ask where you've been all this time but that's not important right now. Please tell me you're here save me."

She says in a desperate tone, subconsciously ignoring Ryan.

For months she hasn't had any proper food or water, not even a bath. Her interaction with people was also limited and she was totally cut off from the world.

If she wasn't who she is, she would've died from this torture or even gotten mad and my theory is correct.

Homelander did want to use her for reproductive purposes. He told her that after she's mentality broken, he'll rape her continuously and make her give birth to his sons that will eventually rule the world beside him.

Thank God I've saved her right? Sometimes I can't believe how heroic I am. It's like saving a princess but... remotely darker.

"Of course, I'm here to save you, what do you think I'm doing here?"

I raise my eyebrows at her in an amused tone as I stretch my hand and clutch my fist, crushing the metallic door to bits.

Maeve leaves the room with shaky steps and hugs me tightly.

....Yeah, she needs a bath asap.

"..Thank you."

She whispers and releases me with slightly teary eyes as she looks at my smiling face.

"You're welcome, now let's get you guys out of here."

I say and this makes Maeve finally notice the pouting Ryan and ruffles his hair with an apologetic smile.

After she is done, I hold her hand and fly out of the place with Ryan in tow and after a few minutes, we arrive on the ground floor of the Tower.

"Hey, guys isn't that Deva? Oh my God, he's back!"

"Holy shit! It's him, he looks kinda different though...he's hotter than before."

"What's Ryan doing with him? And I thought Maeve is dead.... who the fuck knew we have a secret underground lair!?"

The ordinary employees and supes on the floor whisper and exclaim as we land, their faces showing emotions that range from mostly shock, fear, respect, adoration, and uh...lust?

I'm going to ignore that one for now.

Some of the supes want to come closer but the bloodthirsty look on Maeve's face deters them.

"Gerald, Big Game, Kincaid, Tek Knight follow me."

I order in a dark tone that makes everyone quiet and walk towards the entrance with Ryan and Maeve.

Seconds later, the people I mention follow behind me as I walk past the crowd who make way for us and arrive outside.

"It's good to have you back Sir, I always knew you'll come back."

Kincaid announces with a smile on her face when we arrive outside.

"Yeah, it's good to have you back with us again, right guys?"

Tek Knight who is adorning a blue-black robotic suit of armor asks with a robotic voice laced with admiration. The others nod in agreement and this brings a smile to my face.

You see all these people in one way or the other, either owe me, adore me to the highest limit like Tek Knight, or fear me the most like Gerald.

These people believe in me the most and won't hesitate to act on my command, there are more but they aren't around here at the moment.

Honestly, almost all the supes like and respect me to the highest limit but since Homelander is now the top dog and I haven't been around for a while now, I can't use them...not yet anyway.

But that will all change at any moment now.

"I'm glad you all feel that way. Right now, I need you guys to escort Maeve and Ryan out of here and get a screen in front of you. Today is a big day."

I smile darkly and this sends a shiver through their spine with Kincaid looking at me with unrestrained passion.

"Uncle V what do you m---"

<Whoom!>

"He's here."

I say with an evil smile as Homelander stops in the air a few meters away from us with a frown on his face, his cape gently flutters with the wind.
