Chapter 176 Fighting Starlight
Chapter 176 Fighting Starlight
Ling Yuan slowly walked in front of the motherland, their eyes met in the air, and a barely perceptible smile appeared in each other's eyes. In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that they were two close friends who had met after a long separation, but only Ling Yuan and the motherland knew how hypocritical and confrontational their smiles were at this moment.
Ling Yuan's mouth corners slightly raised, forming a seemingly friendly arc, but behind that smile was hidden endless indifference and ridicule. He knew very well that the so-called "homelander" in front of him was not a kind person, but a man with deep scheming and ruthless means. The homelander also smiled in return, but that smile revealed a kind of arrogance and disdain, as if telling Ling Yuan that no matter what the outcome of the original incident was, he was still the homelander admired by everyone.
Such a scene made Xingguang, who was watching here, confused and puzzled. She couldn't understand why there was such a strange atmosphere between the two people. However, for Ling Yuan and the motherland, this superficial harmony was nothing more than a carefully woven disguise. In this war without gunpowder, they each had their own ulterior motives and tried to test each other's intentions in their own way.
"It's been a while since we last met, A-Zu?" Ling Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely noticeable smile. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, gently placed it on his motherland's shoulder, and was the first to break the silence and speak.
Homelander's eyebrows jumped fiercely, and he slowly turned his head and looked at Ling Yuan. He had a forced smile on his face and nodded slightly to show his response. At this moment, he was like an old friend who had been reunited after a long absence, but only they knew that just a few days ago, Ling Yuan had just beaten Homelander severely.
"Yes! I have been wondering when we can meet again." The native's tone was as calm as water, without any ripples. However, behind this seemingly ordinary conversation, there was an indescribable tense atmosphere.
From the perspective of Starlight, the interaction between the two seemed particularly strange. Homelander's body language clearly revealed a sense of restraint, as if he was always on guard against Ling Yuan's sudden attack. Ling Yuan, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, seemingly completely unaware of this subtle change.
Xingguang stared at the scene in front of her, secretly wondering what happened between the two. She couldn't help but think of the video that went viral a few days ago, in which a Chinese man was beaten up by a mysterious oriental man on a New York beach, and she had a vague guess.
However, the innocent Xingguang still firmly believes that today's Super Seven is as wonderful as she imagined - those super-powered people who possess extraordinary powers and uphold justice are all heroic role models in her mind.
After all, at this moment, Xingguang has not witnessed the true faces of the Seven after they took off their hypocritical masks, so subconsciously, she classified Ling Yuan as an evil villain that even the people of her homeland could not compare to.
In this silent space, time seemed to have frozen. Ling Yuan and his countryman's eyes met, and neither of them looked away easily. The air around them seemed to become heavy, and people felt that an invisible pressure was gradually spreading...
Ling Yuan seemed to casually put his hand on the motherland's shoulder, but in fact he secretly increased his strength and squeezed the latter's shoulder tightly. However, Ling Yuan's facial expression did not change at all, and he still had that nonchalant smile, as if nothing had happened.
The face of the motherland became a little ugly. Normally speaking, with the strength of his body, he should be able to resist any physical attack. But at this moment, the terrifying force coming from Ling Yuan's palm made him feel unbearable pain, which was far beyond his expectations.
Nevertheless, in order to maintain his usual image and dignity, Homelander still endured the pain, continued to smile, and looked directly at Ling Yuan with a firm gaze. But if someone looked closely, they would find that his face had begun to turn blue, which was obviously in sharp contrast to his apparent calmness. Perhaps only in this way could he look more like he had everything under control.
Ling Yuan put his face close to the motherland's ear and warned in a low voice full of provocation and threat: "Maeve is mine now. If you dare to touch her, I will make you taste the feeling of having your head stuffed into your ass!"
Faced with such naked intimidation, Homelander's face became more gloomy, but the corners of his mouth still had that disgusting hypocritical smile. He suppressed his anger and stared at Ling Yuan, as if he wanted to see through his eyes to see his true thoughts.
After Ling Yuan finished what he needed to say, he gently patted his motherland on the shoulder, with a brilliant yet creepy smile on his face, as if everything that had just happened had never happened.
Xingguang noticed that Homelander's face had become unusually gloomy, and his eyes, staring at Ling Yuan, revealed increasingly strong hostility and ill will. Xingguang prayed in his heart, hoping that Homelander could stand up at this critical moment and launch a powerful counterattack against Ling Yuan.
She believed that the "crime" committed by Ling Yuan must be unforgivable and he must not be allowed to continue to go unpunished. Xingguang clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with anger and determination. She believed that the people of her country had enough strength and courage to fight against this evil force.
In the tense atmosphere, time seemed to freeze. Every second seemed to be particularly long, and Xingguang's heartbeat became more and more intense. She looked at Homelander anxiously, expecting him to make decisive actions.
Unfortunately, what she expected did not happen. The native smiled and gently patted Ling Yuan on the shoulder, saying in a relaxed tone: "I have other things to do today. How about we find a place to have a drink when I have a break some other day?"
After hearing this, Ling Yuan's mouth curled up slightly. Although the words from the motherland seemed light and insignificant, only Ling Yuan and the motherland knew it well - in fact, the motherland had already made concessions and compromises to him.
Seeing the indifferent and inaction of her countrymen, Xingguang was filled with doubts and confusion. However, the "hero dream" burning deep in her heart was like a blazing flame, driving her to take the next action.
Before Ashley and Maeve could react, Xingguang quickly arrived in front of Ling Yuan and punched him hard in the face.
Homelander raised his eyebrows slightly and took two steps back decisively. This was a rare pleasure, so how could he stop Starlight's actions?
Ling Yuan was slightly startled, and subconsciously raised one hand to block Xingguang's fist. Holding Xingguang's fist, Ling Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, flashing a dangerous light. He never thought that Xingguang would attack him at this time.
