Chapter 159 Negotiating Cooperation
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ling Yuan looked at Butcher, who was still a little dazed, and stretched out his hand to Butcher: "Do you have a cigarette, Mr. Butcher?"
Butcher came back to his senses, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Ling Yuan, and lit one for himself. Taking a deep puff of the cigarette and slowly exhaling it, Butcher looked at the oriental man in the passenger seat with a complicated expression, who was taller than him even when he was sitting there.
"Are you interested in chatting?" Ling Yuan also lit a cigarette and leaned back, as if he wanted to merge his body into the chair. "Let's talk about how you want to bring down the Seven and the Black Robe Patrol of the Vought Group?"
Butcher frowned. He was sure that the Black Robe Patrol was just his idea and he had not yet publicized the Black Robe Patrol. The few people who knew about it were all tight-lipped guys.
If Ling Yuan really knew his thoughts under such circumstances, then people like Ling Yuan should not be provoked at will. He alone is even more terrifying than a behemoth like the Water Group.
"Of course you can... But if you want to talk to someone about something, it's also very rude not to tell them your name, right?" Although Butcher was a little afraid of the man next to him who could beat up his countrymen, he still said viciously, "I remember that you in the East consider yourselves to be a country of etiquette!"
Ling Yuan was not angry after being scolded by Butcher. He knew that the rough-faced man in front of him was a real man. There was no need for him to fight to the death with Butcher just because of what he said. He was not Cao Shaolin and he still liked to eat beef.
"It's my fault... Hello! Mr. Billy Butcher, my name is Ling Yuan, and I'm a traveler from outside this world. This time I came to you mainly to discuss with you about erasing the Vought Group and dealing with the Seven."
Ling Yuan extended his hand to Butcher, and a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face, which surprised Butcher. He was also someone who had been dealing with those superpowers in the Vought Group for a long time. Unlike those so-called superheroes, Ling Yuan's smile was a sincere and warm smile. Butcher had almost forgotten how long he hadn't seen such a smile.
"Hello...I don't think I need to introduce myself, you already know me."
Butcher stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ling Yuan. He could see that Ling Yuan came with sincerity and goodwill. If he did not respond with sincerity and goodwill, it would be more or less disrespectful to Ling Yuan.
"Well, I want to ask, maybe the Water Group would be a good place for you, Mr. Ling Yuan? Why would you go to the trouble of looking for a small person like me?"
Ling Yuan gave Butcher enough respect and courtesy, and he couldn't treat Ling Yuan the same way he treated others, but despite this, Butcher was still very curious about Ling Yuan's purpose. He had seen the video of Ling Yuan fighting with Homelander, and Ling Yuan could beat Homelander unilaterally, so he shouldn't take the initiative to find an insignificant character like him.
"The reason..." Ling Yuan took a deep puff of cigarette and smiled. "The people with special abilities in this world are too filthy. I want to change this world, so I found you who share the same ideals to cooperate with me. Is that a suitable reason?"
Butcher was stunned for a moment. All the superpowered people he had captured in the past were very arrogant. They almost said that they would wipe out all ordinary people and let the superpowered people take over the whole world. This was the first time he saw a superpowered person willing to help him correct the corrupt state of the whole world.
Ling Yuan didn't care at all that Butcher would reject him. He showed his sincerity clearly and sincerely stated that he and Butcher were on the same front. Even if Butcher refused to cooperate, he would not confront him head-on.
"how do you want to do it?"
Butcher had worked in the FBI for a while, and he keenly caught the most important part of Ling Yuan's words. Ling Yuan did not say that he wanted to wipe out superpowers or the Vought Group, but that he wanted to change the world. This alone was enough to attract Butcher's attention.
"Have you ever thought that killing superheroes and uprooting the Vought Corporation might not be the key to solving the problem? With the Super Seven, ordinary people have a morbid pursuit of heroism. Even if you can solve the Seven or the Vought Corporation, it is difficult to guarantee that the next Seven and the Vought Corporation will not appear.
"People have no resistance to their own desires, especially when these desires can be regarded as a kind of 'popular desire'..."
Ling Yuan's tone was very calm, and he pointed out the pain point of the problem in just a few words. Butcher was immersed in thoughts of revenge, and it was not until Ling Yuan pointed out the problem that he suddenly woke up.
"Then what do you think is the right thing to do?" Butcher looked at Ling Yuan with a frown. Ling Yuan's words completely changed Butcher's stereotype. At this moment, in his eyes, Ling Yuan was like God who was guiding him when he was lost.
"It's a simple but time-consuming method. Collect their unknown dirt and expose it all when necessary. At least it will give us a suitable reason to judge them." Ling Yuan shrugged, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Wouldn't it be better to just get rid of them?"
The corners of Butcher's mouth twitched violently. In his opinion, Ling Yuan's idea was a bit taken for granted. If the Water Group suppressed these dirty tricks, then all the efforts made would be completely in vain, and they might even face a counterattack from the Seven.
At that time, Ling Yuan, as a person with super powers stronger than his homelander, naturally has the ability to suppress those guys, but he, Butcher, does not have it, so he will definitely be the one who is unlucky.
Ling Yuan glanced at Butcher and said in a leisurely tone: "When you chose to take this path, you should have been prepared for your own death, right? What's more, the opinions of the living will always be more memorable than those of the dead. Instead of killing them, it would be more meaningful to expose these things while they are still alive."
Butcher lowered his head and thought for a while. Ling Yuan's method moved him a lot. Butcher had to admit that Ling Yuan had hit the nail on the head. As for life and death, Ling Yuan was right. When he planned to fight against a superpower as an ordinary person, he should have been prepared to die at any time.
"Okay, I agree to cooperate with you!" Butcher stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ling Yuan with a firm look in his eyes. "Is there anything we need to do next?"
Ling Yuan smiled slightly, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and looked out of the car with a deep gaze. Ling Yuan already had a general direction for the next plan. He would act tonight. He would first kill the black man at the locomotive head, disguise himself, and use the locomotive head to provoke the Water Group.
Listening to Ling Yuan's plan, Butcher's mouth twitched fiercely. It's not that he had never thought about dealing with people with super powers, but the Group of Seven was definitely not someone he could touch now. And Ling Yuan, who had just reached a cooperation with him, had already begun to plot against the locomotive of the Group of Seven. For this, Butcher admired him very much.
