New York City, Queens.
As the thick smoke dissipated, fire trucks slowly drove away. Ambulances loaded with several injured people who had been burned in the fire drove to the end of the road.
It was evening and the road that should have been at its peak was empty. Due to the fire in the Aycliffe Building, the entire New York Century Avenue was cordoned off and the passage of ordinary vehicles was temporarily prohibited.
The fire had been extinguished. At this time, in front of the Aycliffe Building, four valiant figures were standing on the steps. Below the steps were thousands of noisy people. These people gathered in a circle and seemed to be cheering loudly, wave after wave of cheers.
Among the four people standing on the steps, one of them had combed his hair back and was handsome. He wore an azure combat suit and a cape printed with the flag of the Earth Federation on his back. He had a sunny smile on his face.
Compared to him, the other three people paled in comparison. The black man showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth. He wore a combat suit printed with the Chinese redbud emblem. Although he also looked very sunny, for some reason, there was a faint sense of wretchedness about him.
The faces of the remaining people standing on the sides were obviously more childish, but they also wore combat suits of their own style.
Under the dazzling sunlight above their heads, the four people kept waving to the people below. At the same time, several people with smoke and dust stains on their bodies came up from below the stage, presented flowers, and at the same time, hugged the four people with tears in their eyes.
"John!"
"Leon... Leon!"
"Blake! Hodge! You're all heroes! "
There was a burst of cheers below the stage.
As if sensing that it was about time, the three people looked at the blond man in the azure blue combat suit. He nodded, took a step forward, and at the same time, opened his hands and pressed down slightly.
At that moment, everyone quietened down and looked at him with admiration in their eyes.
"Everyone, I've felt your enthusiasm."
The blond man said solemnly, "At the same time, I also feel my responsibility. It's my mission and my obligation. As the newest member of the Superpower Combative Police Force, I deeply feel how heavy this identity is...
"I've vowed since I was a child that I'll fight for justice for this continent, for the Federation, and for the entire human race. Now, I've finally achieved my dream. I hope to protect everyone with my strength and I promise that I'll do my best to protect everyone who needs us in the name of justice, compassion, and sacrifice!"
As he spoke, the golden-haired man's eyes were filled with deep emotion. "This is the oath of me, the Protector — John!"
"Hua —!"
Waves of cheers erupted from the crowd when they heard this.
Amidst the cheers, the golden-haired man once again let out a bright smile. He spread his arms and directly floated in the air, slowly flying into the crowd.
Instantly, everyone went crazy. They stretched out their hands and touched John's sturdy thighs like crazy. There were even people who forgot themselves and were moved to tears!
"John, John!"
"Guardian!"
This name resounded throughout New York City in an instant …
Then, the scene gradually zoomed out and turned into a screen.
In front of the screen, a black man in his forties with piercing eyes slowly walked over and stood on this pitch-black stage.
This was a program, a program called Richard's World that was broadcast every night at 7: 30 pm on the Earth Federation International Channel.
At this time, the host of the program turned to look behind him. At this time, the screen at this time had frozen the scene of John being surrounded by tens of thousands of people.
"Dear viewers, I'm Wilson Richard, and this is the Earth Federation International Channel — Richard's World."
The host's voice was clear and full of rhythm, with a special magnetism. "I believe most of you are already aware of the latest news announced by Blackwatch..."
As he said this, he pointed to the image on the screen. "Do you see this? Yes, you're not mistaken. This Mr. John is a superpower user. We used to think that superpowers are far away from us humans and that they only exist in superhero movies, but now we know that all of this is completely wrong!
"The rumors are true. The fusion virus disaster that we experienced at the beginning of this year destroyed millions of families and caused great damage to our civilization. Some people lost their fathers, some lost their husbands or wives, and some even lost their sons..."
At this point, the host's expression became slightly gloomy, but he quickly regained his vigor. "But now, the bitterness is over and the sweetness is coming. Among those who survived the virus infection, many of them have gradually unlocked new abilities!
"The Earth Federation calls this' psionic power ', but I prefer to call it superpower because this is a power that can change the world!
"Now, after several months of metamorphosis, the BHB Combative Police Force has once again appeared on the world stage. Not only that, but they also have a new member..."
As he said this, on the screen behind the host, the figure of the golden-haired man wearing an azure blue combat suit with a cape on his back quickly zoomed in. The other three members of the team became a series of afterimages.
"His name is John Oppenheimer."
Wilson continued. "He's an infected survivor of the fusion virus disaster. Among those infected survivors, many have gradually acquired certain superpowers and this Mr. John is one of them.
"I don't know if he's lucky or unlucky, but that's not important anymore. What's important is that he's joined the BHB Combative Police Force. Now, the BHB Combative Police Force has a new name — the Superpower Combative Police Force!
"The members of the team haven't changed, but what's different now is that our heroes have gained complete bodies and at the same time, they've gained more power — power that can save every single one of us.
"Just now, they've just stopped a fire, a disaster, and saved thousands of lives in the Aycliffe Building in New York City!"
As he said this, the host Wilson spread his hands and declared solemnly, "I can feel that human society is undergoing a transformation!
"Sometimes, I'm extremely grateful that the Earth Federation has given birth to a legend like Blackwatch! They've solved cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and a variety of physiological diseases that afflict mankind. They've gradually extended our lifespan and improved our quality of life!
"Now, as the soul of Blackwatch — the BHB Combative Police Force — they've also been cleansed of their past glory and undergone a fundamental transformation..."
"From today onward, the BHB Combative Police Force will be renamed the Superpower Combative Police Force. In addition to the three familiar faces of Blake, Hodge, and Leon, we'll also be adding a fourth member, the guardian — John!"
The host's eyes were filled with emotion as he continued to zoom in and give the blond man a close-up. "Everyone in front of the screen, take a look. How bright his smile is, how determined his eyes are, and how righteous his soul is..."
As he said this, he exhaled slightly as if trying to suppress the excitement in his heart and continued to speak. "I don't know why people dislike this team, but I know that they'll be our guardians. Just like Mr. John's nickname, they're willing to die for justice!"
After saying all this, the host finally sighed and displayed a rare smile. "This is the most important event that has happened in the Earth Federation today. I'm Wilson Richard, and this is the Earth Federation International Channel — Richard's World. See you next time!"
With this concluding statement, all the lights on the stage suddenly went out, leaving only the black silhouette of the black man and a staff list next to it as well as a special thank you.
Among the special thank you, the Blackwatch logo was clearly visible.
Following the reemergence of the BHB Combative Police Force, major media outlets around the world began to scramble to report on them, especially the new members who had joined them.
The major media constantly broadcasted the scene of John rushing out of the burning building and rescuing the people trapped in the building from the fire. For a time, the name of Guardian John spread in an irresistible manner.
[Keeping a low profile, the BHB Combative Police Force officially changes name to Superpower Combative Police Force] — The Wall Street Journal.
[Superpower users officially take the stage, is the revolution of human society at hand?] — The New York Times.
[Blackwatch once again occupies the forefront of the world, psionic power may change the world!] — Sohu News.
[The Guardian, a rising star of justice after Brook] — Yotube News.
This time, without Blacklight Biotechnology having to bribe the media outlets, the entire world began to publicize the news. As the focus of the entire human race, the media outlets naturally did not want to miss out on this grand event. The new member, John, due to his handsome looks that did not lose to Brook's and his powerful superpower, became the focus of the major media outlets this time.
While they were dividing up this grand event, they also pushed the name of the Superpower Combative Police Force and John the Guardian to the rest of the world.
John the Guardian rose to fame overnight!
...
After stepping back from the camera, both Hodge and Leon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys have done well."
The sound of high heels clacking could be heard. Austin with a head of fiery red hair stepped out of an official car with a smile on her face. "Especially John, you're the best of the four. Whether it's your speech, tone, or demeanor, you're almost impeccable."
"It's all thanks to the company's support."
John smiled faintly. Among the four of them, only he and Blake remained calm and collected. However, Blake's thoughts were difficult to fathom. Based on his personality, neither Austin nor the senior management of the project department dared to entrust him with formal occasions. Leon and Hodge were also too young to handle such heavy responsibilities. Now that John had appeared, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The way they saw it, John would definitely become the soul of the Superpower Combative Police Force in the future.
"I've discussed it with Manager Liu and the senior management of the project department."
Austin looked at the four of them with a scrutinizing gaze. "After our discussion and market research, John will be temporarily appointed as the captain of the Superpower Combative Police Force. Does anyone have any objections?"
"Cap-Captain?"
Hodge glanced at John in surprise but did not show much emotion. "I'm fine with it, John is indeed very suitable."
Leon, on the other hand, was taken aback and felt a little reluctant. He originally had some expectations for this position and had been constantly training his on-the-spot reactions and professionalism all day long. However, he had to admit that whether it was appearance, temperament, or even strength, he was no match for the newly joined John.
Therefore, he had no choice but to nod reluctantly.
"Hahahaha!"
However, what everyone did not expect was that at this time, Blake suddenly laughed happily. He clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, not bad, brother John does have the potential to be the captain! As long as brother John becomes the captain, can all the interviews be thrown to him? "
"Of course."
John turned his head to look at the previously most popular member and smiled slightly. "From now on, you can completely leave the interviews to me."
"Then it's settled."
Blake nodded with satisfaction and at the same time rubbed his hands together. "This way, I can go to the women's restroom more often... Oh no, to the training room to practice my superpowers!"
Leon and Hodge immediately looked at Blake speechlessly.
"Very good."
Austin automatically filtered out Blake's words and turned to look at John. "From today onward, you're the captain of the Superpower Combative Police Force. I hope you're up to the task, work hard for the company, and at the same time, pay attention to your words and actions."
"I understand."
John replied politely, "Because my image represents the Combative Police Force as well as Blackwatch Corporation. Am I right?"
"As long as you understand."
Austin nodded, then turned around and returned to the car. After that, the car started and drove away.
It was until after the car had driven away that Austin's expression became slightly silent.
"Austin, is there something you're not satisfied with about that John?"
At this moment, from the seat at the back of the official car, Liu Zhijian, the manager of the Superpower Combative Police Force project, spoke up. He leaned forward slightly and peeked out from the seat. "You don't look quite right."
"It's not that I'm not satisfied with this John."
Austin replied, "It's just that when I face him, I always have this feeling that he's too perfect, so perfect that it doesn't even seem real. It gives off a feeling of falseness."
"What are you afraid of?"
Liu Zhijian immediately chuckled. "Even if he's the next Brook, so what? If we can make him, we can also destroy him. In the face of Blackwatch, no matter how strong he is, he's just a fly that can be squashed with one hand. "
"I hope so."
Austin nodded. She thoughtfully flicked her hair and looked out the window. A ray of sunset light shone through the window and reflected in her eyes. She had to admit that the sunset tonight was extraordinarily bright...
