Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Chapter 45 You are the real heroes!



There were sporadic cheers from the audience, and the cheers stopped when the few people who were still shouting saw that no one was following them.

Even because of this sudden change, the reporters around them no longer pressed the shutter quickly.

In an instant, the entire thank-you meeting suddenly became eerily quiet, and a heavy atmosphere fell on everyone.

Maeve, who followed, looked at the backs of her motherland with twinkling eyes.

The man from the motherland still had a smile on his face, and he asked seemingly normally:

"What's wrong? Don't you welcome me?"

"Ahem, maybe everyone is so excited that they are speechless when they see the people of the motherland."

Kevin tried to change the subject and planned to skip the welcome and go directly to the thank you part.

But the motherland man raised his hand to him, stretched out his index finger and shook it, signaling Kevin not to speak.

Seeing this, Kevin could only shut his mouth and frown slightly as he watched the performance of his motherland.

"Everyone likes Deep Sea very much. I can see it, but I can also see that you seem to have some opinions about me..."

When the plane crashed that day, although no one knew what happened, some people saw the water surging outside the cabin.

Later, the water flow was controlled by Kevin to evacuate. After Kevin personally boarded the plane to express condolences to everyone, everyone also understood that it was not only the motherland and Maeve who saved everyone.

And the deep sea.

And the deep sea is still the main force among them.

Not to mention that someone recorded the process of Kevin saving the plane in that situation and posted it online. This is why everyone kept cheering "Deep Sea" in the first place.

So the people of the motherland are right. Everyone really likes the deep sea now. Many people even come here for the deep sea. They want to know when the deep sea has the ability to control the water flow.

But another saying of the motherland is equally true.

Everyone has some opinions about the people of the motherland.

Kevin had heard Maeve tell about what happened that day. Although the people of the motherland did not abuse the survivors with too violent words as in the original novel, they also expressed their intention to leave.

This attitude is very obvious, anyone who is not an idiot can see it.

Therefore, except for some fanatical fans, some people here now have complicated feelings about the people of the motherland.

Whether the people of the motherland wanted to give up on everyone that day, and what exactly caused the plane accident that day, some smart people may have already had an idea in their minds.

"People of the motherland! Did you want to give up on us that day?"

Suddenly, a fat middle-aged white man stood up and spoke out on behalf of everyone to question the people of the motherland.

At this moment, there was silence on and off the stage.

"!?"

Damn it! ?

Seeing someone standing up to question the people of the motherland, Kevin's eyes widened.

No, are the people of the United States so brave? Dare to dismantle him in front of the people of the motherland?

And what's going on with Walter Group?

Isn’t it common sense to conduct interviews and surveys before organizing a thank you party? Why would someone jump out and ask questions that they shouldn’t ask at this moment!

What exactly does your public relations department do? !

Kevin looked at Ashley for a moment, but saw that Ashley was also panicked. When she saw Kevin's eyes, she waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that she had no idea about such a thing.

What made Ashley even more confused was that after the middle-aged man came forward, there were many more whispers at the scene.

"Yeah, I remember... he seemed to be giving up on us with Maeve..."

"If it weren't for the deep sea, we would have been abandoned..."

"Did the motherland really want to save us at that time?"

The survivors were talking in a flurry. Their voices were not loud, but they could be heard clearly when they were gathered together.

Especially with the hearing of the people of the motherland, the words of these people can be heard clearly.

Kevin could see that the smiles on the faces of the people of the motherland seemed to be a bit unsustainable.

The reporters arranged by the Watt Group cleverly stopped filming, and some even planned to turn off the ongoing live broadcast.

The reporters from other TV stations frantically took photos of the man who stood up.

The coldness in the eyes of the motherland gradually deepened, even though he was smiling.

However, his many years of acting career allowed him to maintain his emotions. He still smiled and said to the man who stood up:

"How is this possible? I will never give up on any innocent person, absolutely not!"

"But, I have..."

The man who stood up reached for the pocket on his waist.

Kevin and the people from the motherland could see that it was a camera.

At this moment, the face of the motherland finally changed, and Kevin interrupted the man's movements by shouting:

"The people of the motherland have never thought of giving up on you!"

A shout made the man stop his movements, and everyone's eyes were focused on Kevin.

The man from the motherland next to Kevin looked at this seven-man team member who usually didn't care much about him with a little surprise.

He thought for a moment and finally said nothing, closing his mouth and watching Kevin perform.

On the stage, after Kevin shouted something, he repeated it again:

"People of the motherland, I never thought about giving up on you that day. If he really wanted to give up on you, why did I appear there? Why did he risk his own injury to hold the plane up and prevent it from crashing?

"Think about it carefully, everyone! The one who saved you is not me, and the one who got rid of the robbers was not me who stayed outside, but Maeve and the people of the motherland. They are saving you, how could they give up? you!"

Kevin's words made everyone below think deeply.

The storm was about to pass, but suddenly, among the crowd, a clear girl's voice came out.

"But that day, he did give up on me and my mother..."

The girl's voice was not loud, but in the quiet scene where everyone was thinking at this moment, it was very clear.

When Maeve saw the girl, there was a slight apology in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared and her eyes turned elsewhere.

Kevin took a deep breath and looked at the girl carefully.

Maeve told him that before calling him that day, when she knew that the people of her country were going to abandon everyone on the plane, she tried to take the girl and the woman beside her away with her.

What they think is that even if they save one, as long as they save one innocent life, their efforts will not be in vain.

But how could the people of the motherland who had given up saving the country leave with the ‘witnesses’?

So the motherland gave up on them.

Therefore, unlike everyone else who did not hear the conversation between the motherland and Maeve, this mother and daughter clearly heard the fact that the motherland was going to abandon them.

But Kevin remembered that he should have reminded Ashley to comfort the mother and daughter...

Kevin turned his attention to the girl's mother.

The girl's mother, a woman with a slightly haggard face, quickly covered the girl's mouth when the girl finished saying this, but it was obviously a little too late.

The corners of the eyes of the people of the motherland are twitching.

Maeve, who was beside him, had her hands on her hips to maintain her heroic appearance. She turned her head slightly after watching this scene, with no intention of justifying it.

Kevin, who was paying attention to all this, inhaled slowly and exhaled for a long time.

He quickly came to the girl and asked:

"May I have your name?"

"Maya...my name is Maya..."

The girl replied quietly.

"Okay, Maya, maybe you may think that the people of the motherland want to abandon you and ignore you, but have you ever thought that maybe the people of the motherland don't want you to cause trouble, so they deliberately pretend to be evil people?"

Okay, let’s first change the concept and erase the little girl’s bad impression of the motherland.

Kevin was organizing his words in his mind, and without waiting for the little girl to answer, he continued:

"Maya, you are in elementary school now, right?"

"Well, fifth grade of elementary school."

"Then in class, a teacher should be angry with a certain student and say, 'I don't want to care about you anymore.' Something like that has happened, right?"

To be honest, Kevin is not sure whether the teachers at American Elementary School are like Teacher Tianchao, who always say, "You are the worst class."

But thinking about it, there should be times when children get annoyed and reprimand them loudly.

Fortunately, Kevin's guess was correct, and Maya nodded gently.

While Kevin felt relaxed, he continued:

"Then you should know very well that the teacher's words of 'I don't want to take care of it anymore' are just temporary angry words. He doesn't really want to give up on his students at all, right?

"It's the same for people of the motherland."

Kevin said this, stood up and said to everyone:

“I don’t know much about the situation on the plane that day, but I think everyone must have been helpless and scared. Under such circumstances, everyone could no longer think rationally.

"When I saw the people of my motherland and Maeve leaving, I felt like they were giving up on you, but have you ever thought that they just wanted to go out and ask for help and find a way to save you?

"You don't think so. You just think that the motherland is abandoning you, so you rush in front of the motherland in panic and want him to take you away. In that case, delaying for one more second will delay precious rescue. time.

"How can the people of the motherland not be angry with you?

"So the people of the motherland are like teachers in school, yelling at you, 'I don't care about you'! Then they turn around and leave, but what is the actual result? Everyone has seen that he saved you."

Nonsense.

Kevin is full of nonsense right now, and Kevin knows it.

But Kevin also knew that the situation that day was critical. When people are in danger, their minds are in chaos. Except for a few calm people, few people can recall what happened when they encountered danger.

So as long as there is no absolute evidence, everyone will beautify the people of the motherland based on what Kevin said.

The memories in their minds will automatically fit Kevin's current nonsense.

Even if they realized later, it shouldn't have been the case at the time, but the thank-you meeting was over and the news had been broadcast, so where were they going to say it?

In the end, when the three of them became a tiger, those who had doubts would probably think, ‘That’s probably it’, and let it go in the end.

After giving everyone a little time to digest these words, Kevin then said:

"It is the people of the motherland who saved you by holding up the plane that day. They are also the people of the motherland who comforted you as soon as the plane stopped!"

In fact, although the people from the motherland entered the cabin to comfort everyone, it was probably because Kevin got a lot of water on his body during the process of saving the plane.

Being concerned about his image, he deliberately flew around in the sky and waited until the water on his body dried up before rushing back.

But at that time, the international rescue team had arrived...

But this is not important. What is important is that the people of the motherland did enter the cabin to comfort everyone, and that was enough.

So after Kevin said this, he walked towards the man who questioned and said to him seriously:

"Sir, I know you were scared that day, and I also understand your anger that day when you thought your motherland was going to abandon you, but no matter what, your motherland saved you, didn't it?

"Can you bear to let our heroes suffer undeserved injustice?"

Kevin said this and looked at the people of the motherland.

The motherland man's eyes met with his, and he understood what Kevin meant in an instant. He looked up at the sky, blinked a few times, and seemed to have red eyes.

…You are really good at acting.

Kevin was slandering in his heart, but on the surface he said with sincerity and solemnity:

"Sir, please do not chill our hero."

"Yes... I'm sorry to my motherland... I'm sorry! I remembered wrongly. You wanted to save us. It was you, Maeve and Deep Sea who saved us! You are our hero!"

Under Kevin's nonsense, the middle-aged man selectively ignored the 'evidence' in the camera on his waist.

He said to the people of his motherland with great guilt.

The motherland man shook his head. He stepped forward, patted Kevin on the shoulder, patted the man on the shoulder, and faced the camera and said:

"That day, I ignored your feelings and said things I shouldn't have said to you. In fact, I can't be called a hero. The real heroes are you——"

The motherland people pointed at the camera and all the survivors present:

"You who never gave up hope until the end! You are the real heroes!"

After this sentence, the survivors finally cheered, and they finally began to call the names of Maeve and the people of the motherland.

Kevin on the side finally let out a long sigh of relief.

The moment he heard this famous line, Kevin knew that the accident was over.
