Chapter 197 Dad, I Am Sick, Is There Any Hope?

"Is there a truth in your mouth?"

The motherland angrily pointed at Madeleine who fell on the sofa and said: "You have been deceiving me from the beginning!"

"I'm sorry, John."

Madeleine cried and apologized to her motherland: "I shouldn't have deceived you. It was my fault. Please, don't hurt Teddy. Please, he is innocent."

The black-robed native looked at the baby in his hand, and instead of handing it over to Madeleine, he took a step closer to her with the crying baby in his arms.

"I want to ask you, have you ever truly cared about me."

"You are very important to me, John."

Madeleine ignored the tears on her face and told him: "It has always been very important."

"No!"

The motherland shook her finger and said to Madeleine: "I am very important to your work. You care more about this baby than me. You are just using me."

"No, I love you, John, I swear I love you!"

"Then tell me what's on your mind and stop telling lies!"

The motherland's lips twitched slightly and asked her.

After a long while, Madeleine finally told him her truest thoughts: "I'm scared!"

"What?"

The people of the motherland looked at her in shock.

"I said I was scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Afraid of you!"

The people from the motherland were a little confused after hearing this, and then their expressions immediately turned angry, "Is this your love for me?!"

"I'm sorry."

"You don't have to be sorry, this is what you really think!"

The people of the motherland were suddenly relieved.

"No one in this world loves me. Dr. Vogbaum treats me as a product, and you are full of lies."

He took a step back and looked at the baby in his arms.

"Only my father will not be afraid of me and treat me as a real human being."

With tears in his eyes, he looked at the other person while holding the baby, and his eyes suddenly shot out lasers.

In the hotel, Peter watched the fire news on the news.

"It is reported that the fire broke out in the residence of Madeleine Stillwell, the president of Walter International. Firefighters have not yet found Ms. Madeleine and her child who are missing."

Peter frowned when he saw this.

Was it done by people from the motherland? !

"Button! Button!"

He was looking at the TV screen when there was a knock on the door.

Peter opened the door and took a look and found that he was a native of this world.

"Hey, sir."

The black-robed native stood outside the door with a smile on his face and said to him, "You don't mind if we chat."

"Come in."

Peter looked at the faint tears in the corners of this guy's eyes and guessed that something had broken his defense again.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Yes yes."

The people of the motherland did not refuse this time.

Taking the coffee from Peter, the motherland man held it and let the warmth of the coffee transfer to his palms.

"Did you cause the fire in Madeleine's house?"

Peter asked him directly.

The motherland was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

He originally thought that Peter would ask him if he killed Madeleine, and if not, where he took her.

Unexpectedly, Peter just replied "Yeah" and did not continue to ask.

This made what he wanted to say get stuck in his throat.

"I I always feel like I'm sick."

After a long while, the motherland said to Peter: "In this world, I can feel that I am out of place. I am the only one who is special, but I am also lonely. I know that I am unhealthy."

He puffed up his cheeks and exhaled deeply.

“I often think if I had grown up on a farm, maybe my life would have been different.”

He looked at Peter with a complicated expression: "I have always regarded you as my father. If you were by my side to teach me, maybe I would be different."

Peter looked at the sincere expression of his motherland, sighed and said, "You are indeed sick, but it's not your fault."

"Henry Adams, described power as 'a tumor that ends in killing the patient's pity', and John Emeric Edward Dahlberg-Acton said: 'Power corrupts, absolute power leads to absolute corruption', while neuroscientists have provided experimental evidence for the power paradox: holding power can cause brain damage, and leaders lose the psychological ability that originally made them leaders - understanding others' shoes, that is, empathy ability.”

Peter said calmly: "When you have absolute rights, your brain is sick."

"No one in this world is your opponent."

Peter paused and continued: "You have been raised as a tool since birth, and no one has considered your mental health, so you have no concept of family and friendship, and no concept of 'empathy'."

"The lack of emotional cultivation in your growth process, coupled with the lack of empathy brought about by absolute power, makes you sick."

Peter said, reaching out and patting the other person's shoulder, "If you lived on the farm with me, you wouldn't be so sick."

When Peter told the central issue, the people of the motherland burst into tears.

Holding back tears, he said to Peter, "I hope so, Dad."

Peter: "?!"

Just call him right away?

This kid really knows how to climb up.

"But I know I can't go back to the past."

Homelander has figured it out. Even if he returns to the farm, his childhood cannot be made up.

He might as well stay here and let Peter see what he has achieved.

"I have always regarded you as my spiritual pillar, Dad, I hope to be you."

"You can't be me, you can only be yourself."

Peter shook his head and said to him: "If you try to be another person, you will lose yourself. Don't expect others to love you. You just need to love yourself."

"I will, Dad."

Homelander took a deep breath.

He suddenly no longer needs the love that he has been seeking but not getting.

All the efforts he has made are in the hope of getting recognition and love from others.

Now Peter's words to him encourage him to become a self-loving person, and a warm current flows through his heart.

Before, another Azu once said that he would never reconcile with the past, but now he feels that he has reconciled with his past self.

He will no longer seek love from anyone, whether it is fans or others, he only needs to get recognition from his father.

"Will you come to see me again?"

Homelander had a premonition that Peter should leave, so he asked him.

"Uh"

Looking at the other party's eager eyes like a child, Peter finally nodded, "Of course."

After having the sandbag and the ruby, he can go in and out of the two worlds at will.

It is not a problem to take the Super Seven out.

But considering that the Super Seven is of no help to him now, he gave up the idea.

"Maeve and Starlight are good, remember to take care of them."

Because these two "cheap daughters" called him dad today, he didn't mind asking Homelander to help take care of them.

"Okay."

Homelander nodded, stood up and stretched out his arms, wanting to hug Peter.

Peter didn't refuse, hugged him and patted his shoulder.

"Don't be such a jerk."

The next day.

A press conference held by Vought Company.

Regarding Madeline's disappearance, Edgar made up a reason for the terrorist attack to explain to the public.

After Edgar finished his speech, Homelander took the stage.

According to the procedure, this was Homelander's explanation and apology to the public for the riots caused in front of Godolkin University.

Standing on the stage, Homelander puffed up his cheeks and slowly exhaled the gas from his mouth.

Today, he decided not to pretend anymore.

"In your eyes, I have always been a positive, sunny star, but in fact, I am not."

Homelander said something that surprised many media reporters.

Edgar in the audience frowned, he suspected that the other party was controlled by Peter's mind.

"I am a superhuman, I am stronger and smarter, I am different from all of you, I am the son of Peter Padrick, I am different from you!"

Ashley looked at the other party's madness and quickly ordered the staff to cut off the live broadcast.

"Damn it, cut off the signal! Hurry up!"

"Don't cut off the signal! Roger!"

Homelander pointed his finger at the backstage, stopped the other party, and continued:

"I have always longed for something, but the result is that I am constantly controlled by them. In my life, rich people and powerful people have always tried to control me, making me powerless and making me listen to them."

"But my father told me to be myself and not expect others to love you. From now on, I will not be controlled by them. I will do what I have always wanted to do."

There is only one thing he wants to do now, that is to get rid of Walter's control, control Walter, and then become the master of this country as a superhuman.

Azu in another world will build a statue for his father in New York, and he will spread his father's statue across the United States.

The next time his father sees him, he will see the entire country he gave him.

He wants his father to be proud of his achievements.

At this time, Peter probably couldn't think of it. He thought Homelander would be more restrained. After all, he almost recognized him as his godson.

Unexpectedly, this guy is even crazier than in his previous life.

"If they can control me, they can control you, but you didn't notice that I've had enough. I'm tired of being persecuted because of my strength!"

"You have to thank my father. It was he who created me because you need me! You need me to save you! You are not the real heroes, but me and my father are."

After saying the last sentence, he exhaled and looked at the audience and the media.

He already knew that his support rate would fall to the bottom because of today's speech.

But he didn't care!

He no longer needed the love of these fans.

At the same time.

The "green hat man" who was mixed in the audience looked at each other with Huey, "breast milk" and Frankie.

"Is this bastard crazy?!"
