Frenchy took out his phone and called his girlfriend, instructing her to plant bombs in their base and prepare to blow it up!
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, time is short, hurry up and act!"
"Alright, give me three minutes to prepare. You can detonate it exactly three minutes later!"
Although Frenchy's girlfriend was shocked, hearing the urgency in Frenchy's voice, she knew they must have encountered a difficult problem. So, without asking further questions, she simply said she understood and hung up the phone.
She frantically began preparing to blow up the base!
Meanwhile, Billy and Frenchy also got into a car outside. Billy picked up his laptop; he needed to connect to the base's network to control the bomb detonation.

Whoosh... In less than a minute, Homelander spotted Frenchy in the car and, along with Li Yue, instantly landed beside it! The rapid descent created a gust of wind and a fierce whistling sound!
"Hello, please open the car window!"
Homelander came to Frenchy's car and tapped on the window with his finger.
"Haha, I'm so lucky, I can't believe I get to see Homelander here! I'm a huge fan of yours!"
Frenchy opened the car window, a smile on his face like a fan meeting their idol, and spoke to Homelander with some excitement!
"Don't get excited, don't get excited. I'm here on a special mission. Could you please show me your ID for inspection?"
Homelander's signature fake smile reappeared on his face, and he spoke to Frenchy in a relatively gentle tone!
"Uh, can I see your search warrant? Don't get me wrong, I just want to make sure you have the authority!"
Frenchy was shocked at this moment to discover that Homelander hadn't come alone. Behind him was a young man also wearing a superhero uniform.
He looked somewhat unfamiliar, and Frenchy then remembered that the Seven had apparently recruited a new superhero. Could it be this person in front of him?
This startled Frenchy, leaving him unsure what to do. Even if he successfully detonated the base later, he couldn't guarantee that he could lure both Homelander and this new member of the Seven away.
If only Homelander was drawn away by the explosion, and this new superhero remained, his group would still be unable to make a safe escape. They would definitely be discovered!
"What to do... what to do!"
Frenchy's heart pounded with anxiety, his mind racing as he desperately thought of a solution! At the same time, he tried to stall Homelander with words.
"Heh heh, I am Homelander, a superhero who protects the public, of course I have the right to check your ID! Please cooperate!"
Seeing that Frenchy in the car was somewhat uncooperative, the smile on Homelander's face suddenly vanished. The speed of his expression change was comparable to a Sichuan opera face-changer!
"Alright, alright, I'll get it, I'll get it..."
Frenchy was a bit helpless, looking at Homelander's cold face, he could only submit. He knew that Homelander wasn't as benevolent as he seemed; if pushed too far, he would probably just shoot his heat vision at him!
Frenchy pretended to search for his ID for dozens of seconds, and only after Homelander's face had already shown signs of impatience, did he finally hand his ID to Homelander!
Meanwhile, Li Yue just watched them coldly from the side, without saying a word!
Homelander took the documents Frenchy handed him, glanced at them briefly, and then handed them back!
"What's in your car? Can you open it and let me see!"
Homelander asked Frenchy!
"Uh, is that really necessary? There's nothing inside!"
Frenchy pretended to be a little nervous,
because there was no one in the car at this time. Billy had already left the car and hidden elsewhere!
"If there's nothing inside? Why are you afraid for me to look?"
Homelander said, and without waiting for Frenchy to open it, he directly used his x-ray vision to look inside the car.
At this point, three minutes had passed. Billy, from a distance, used his computer to detonate the bombs placed inside the base.
Boom!!
Even Li Yue, with his superhuman hearing, could hear an explosion, and Homelander, needless to say, heard it even more clearly.
"Thunder, you stay here! I'll go check it out!"
Whoosh!!
Homelander didn't think much of it, and since he hadn't seen anything unusual in the car just now, he said a quick word to Li Yue before shooting into the sky, instantly breaking the sound barrier, and flying towards the source of the distant explosion!
At this moment, only Li Yue remained here!
..."Alright, Billy, stop hiding, come out!"
Watching Homelander fly away, Li Yue spoke directly!
"What did you say? There's no one hiding here, are you..."
When Frenchy heard Li Yue's words, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered, a simple and honest smile appearing on his face as he replied to Li Yue, indicating that there was no one else there!
"Alright, stop pretending. I'm well aware of Hughie and Billy catching Translucent, and you guys hiding him here. I mean you no harm, otherwise I would have told Homelander about you already. So, Billy, just come out honestly."
Li Yue interrupted Frenchy's words and directly exposed what they had done!
"Friend, I'm out. Can you tell me how you know all this?"
A voice came from a spot dozens of meters behind the car. Li Yue turned to look and saw a man wearing a black robe, with a full black beard, holding a laptop, walking out and curiously asking Li Yue.
The person who walked out was Billy!
"You don't need to know how I know about you. Let's go, take me to see Translucent, who you've locked up. Perhaps I can help you solve your problem!"
Li Yue didn't answer Billy's question but instead directly stated his desire to see Translucent!
"Alright, Mr. Thunder, please follow me!"
"Billy, how could you..."
"It's fine. If he wanted to attack us, he would have done so already. We're no match for him at all!"
Billy first spoke to Li Yue, then directly led the way to where Translucent was being held, interrupting Frenchy's whispered warning!
However, Billy's words weren't wrong; if Li Yue truly wanted to deal with them, they wouldn't have survived for three seconds!
...Soon, led by Billy, Li Yue followed him into a room.
The situation before them, however, startled Billy and Frenchy, because they saw that Translucent, for some unknown reason, had escaped his cage. He was now arguing with Hughie about something, but thankfully the remote control was still in Hughie's hand!
"Hmm? Thunder, why are you here? Are you here to save me? That's great! Quickly get rid of these people!"
Translucent heard the door open and couldn't help but turn to look. He saw that among the people who entered, besides Billy and Frenchy, whom he hated, there was also someone he was familiar with.
Although he had only met him twice, he was also one of the Seven, just like himself. So, Translucent naively thought that Li Yue had come here to save him.
But he didn't expect that as soon as Li Yue saw him, he raised his hand and flicked a small blue glowing ball at him.
It was so fast that he couldn't dodge it at all!
"Serves you right for not listening to me!"
