Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Chapter 31 Think about it carefully

Kevin actually thought for a long time about whether to expose the locomotive.

Telling Annie means revealing all the dark side of the Walter Group. With Annie's personality, she is likely to do some stupid things on impulse.

But don't tell Annie...

Kimiko has already seen the locomotive, and it is impossible for Kevin to let Kimiko lie to Starlight when communication is inconvenient.

Even if Kevin doesn't say it, Kimiko will.

Moreover, this matter cannot be hidden for too long, Anne will eventually know it, the only difference is sooner or later.

After considering these, the choice is actually made, whether to say it or not.

"Locomotive? Why locomotive? He..."

As Kevin expected, Annie's face was filled with disbelief.

Although the mythical halo of the Seven members in Anne's heart has long faded, even for Queen Maeve, whom she once admired most, and the people of the motherland who she used to regard as saints, Anne will still wonder whether they are privately Another face.

Among the seven-member team, the only one who still allows Annie to maintain her love for her idol is Kevin.

But even so, Anne never thought that the members of the Seven would do something more evil.

But now, Kevin said that Kimiko was taken away by Locomotive just now, which means that Locomotive was involved in human trafficking and even human experimentation, which are prohibited by both moral and legal aspects.

The hero of one of the most admired superhero groups in the past is committing a crime.

This was a huge blow to Anne.

But the blow didn't stop there. Kevin's next words were another bombshell for Annie.

"The locomotive said that the people of the motherland asked him to do this."

"what?"

Because the news was so impactful, Anne couldn't say even a single sentence, she just made a confused sound of unknown meaning.

Kevin waited for a while for Anne to digest the heavy news, and then said in a very calm tone:

"I didn't ask about the specific situation. You know the locomotive is very fast. After I gave him a lesson, he ran away without having time to ask more questions."

In fact, he didn't even intend to ask, after all, Kevin knew everything he needed to know.

Kevin paused and continued:
"But in short, as I guessed before, there are a lot of things involved, the water is very deep, and it may even involve the Walter Group. Annie... we should stop the investigation."

"You mean, kidnap Kimiko, use her for experiments, and make her become a superpower... organization, most likely the Walter Group?"

It took Anne a long time to sort out the information given by Kevin and come to this conclusion.

"Maybe, but in short, don't continue to investigate this matter. When I have time, I will send Kimiko back to her own country, help her find her brother, and then...just forget about this matter."

Kevin used a persuasive tone to persuade Anne.

But Kevin also knew very well that Annie would not give up so easily.

"So let's forget about this? If the Watt Group is really doing such cruel things, then we should..."

"What should it be?"

Kevin interrupted Annie. He stood up, approached Annie step by step, and said condescendingly:

"Expose their affairs? Or do you want to be a real hero and fight against the Vought Group?"

Anne was forced by Kevin, and her body instinctively moved backwards, and did not stop until her back hit the wall.

She looked at Kevin blankly, listening to Kevin's 'advice' to her.

"Don't be stupid, Annie, you don't know what kind of power the Watt Group is. Even if you really expose this matter, what will happen? In the end, the Watt Group can settle the matter as long as it spends a little money on Congress. Everything!" This is what the Vought Group did in the original work.

Although the exposure of No. 5 Compound caused some losses to the group, the group quickly turned this bad thing into a good thing. It even launched a plan to make a temporary No. 5 Compound and prepared to provide it to the American army.

It is simply unrealistic to bring down the Vought Group as an individual.

"And think about your relatives, Annie, think about your mother. Do you think they will let your mother go once you confront the Walter Group?"

Kevin persuaded Anne with affection and reason.

He watched the stars in Anne's eyes gradually dim, and he knew that the poor girl had listened to his words.

Taking two steps back slightly to distance himself from Annie, Kevin raised his hand and patted Xingguang's shoulder twice and said:
"Think about it carefully, even if it's not for yourself, then think about it for the sake of your relatives and friends. Is it worth it...?"

After speaking, Kevin left the hotel, leaving Anne a quiet space to think about the matter carefully.

Kevin doesn't know if Annie will finally give up against the Walter Group after his words.

He guessed not.

The reason is that Anne has regarded becoming a hero as her dream since she was a child, and her dream of becoming a hero has not been extinguished even now.

She is innocent, kind, and possesses beautiful qualities that are extremely precious in the black robe world.

Even if such a person gives up now, one day in the future, she may once again embark on the path of confronting the Vought Group.

Kevin understood this deeply, but he still said these words to her.

The main reason is that she still doesn’t want Starlight Anne to fight against the Walt Group so early. Also...Kevin now relies on the Walt Group to make money.

Although he has been able to salvage lost jewelry and gold from the sea, he no longer values ​​these things as much as before.

But since there is a safe channel through which he can gain both fame and fortune, why must Kevin have to struggle with money?

His dream remains the same, to make enough money, retire and live his own life.

So Kevin thought that if he could stay in the Watt Group for one more day, it would be one more day. If possible, it would be best if he could become a senior executive of the Watt Group.

When she makes enough money and retires safely, if Annie is willing to go against the Walter Group, Kevin will have nothing to do with it.

And... most importantly.

People of the motherland.

This guy is an existence that cannot be ignored. Kevin is not sure how much effect his current ability can have on him, but before he can absolutely suppress the opponent's strength, Kevin feels that it is better to be cowardly.

"But I feel like I can't hide it for long...skill points...well, are there still two left..."

While thinking, Kevin checked his skill points again.

After previously rescuing Kimiko, Kevin's remaining skill points were four.

Bury the box containing the transparent human corpse and gain a skill point.

Today I taught Locomotive a lesson and saved Kimiko, and gained some skill points.

The current number of skill points is six, and with only two points left, Kevin can upgrade a LV3 skill to LV4.

Currently, Kevin's only LV3 skill is water flow control.

Perhaps, when this ability reaches LV4, Kevin will be able to compete with the people of the motherland?
No, let’s be more stable and wait until [job change].

According to the current speed of accumulating skill points, it shouldn't take long to light up the [Professional Change] icon.
