Tek Knight, a mber of the Payback team, or more accurately, its leader.
This is a character who didn't appear in the TV adaptation of "The Boys," but Roger wasn't surprised. When a fictional world becos reality, there are always things that one doesn't know about.
This is perfectly normal.
The truly crucial point is Tek Knight's identity.
He was once a mber of Vought's board of directors and still holds a portion of Vought's shares. The industry he oversaw was related to superhero rchandise and films. Almost all the superhero-related films and shows by Vought were his responsibility.
But that was in the past.
Since a tumor was discovered in his brain, Tek Knight has completely retired.
In fact, Vought had wanted to oust Tek Knight for a long ti. His relatively just character had caused Vought many losses, otherwise, they wouldn't have created so many scandals to remove him from the superhero scene.
Now that he is about to die, Vought can't wait for him to pass away so they can divide his remaining shares.
Given Vought's enormous scale, even a fraction of a percent of shares can bring astronomical profits, not to ntion that Tek Knight is one of the largest shareholders of Vought.
Roger believed that if it weren't for Tek Knight's still formidable strength and his special combat armor, Vought wouldn't mind sending superhumans to assassinate him.
Fortunately, Vought hadn't done so, which allowed Roger to find another breakthrough point besides Compound V.
Compound V is indeed the key to dealing with Vought, but Roger couldn't let it be exposed as it was in the original story. Because it grants superpowers, and who wouldn't want to have powerful, unique abilities?
Ordinary people want it, politicians want it, and capitalists want it.
Once Compound V is exposed to the public, no one can stop its spread. Over ti, Vought might even bring Compound V into the open, generating even greater profits for them!
That's exactly what they did in the original story.
Hence, Roger sought out Tek Knight to execute another plan.
Due to his involvent with superhero rchandise, comics, and films, Tek Knight has a lot of dirt on the superheroes.
All the dirty secrets of the superheroes, except for Holander, are essentially in Tek Knight's possession.
But he couldn't release this information, nor did he dare to make it public. If nothing unexpected happened, Tek Knight would take all this blackmail to the grave in this filthy alley.
But now Roger had co. He needed Tek Knight's dirt to tarnish Vought and possibly even use Tek Knight to dismantle Vought from within. These superheroes' dark secrets would then be put to use.
Unfortunately, Tek Knight didn't trust Roger.
Although Tek Knight didn't have any dirt on Roger, it didn't an he knew nothing. He was well aware of what kind of person Holander was. So when Roger asked him to expose all the dirt, his first reaction was that Roger had gone mad.
His second reaction was that Roger was joking with him, or that Holander had fallen out with Vought and wanted to use him as a pawn.
Anyway, Tek Knight wouldn't trust Holander.
"Forget it, whether you're mad or not, I won't do it," Tek Knight said before Roger could speak.
Roger was silent for a mont before saying, "You're dying."
"I know, but if you think I'll expose this dirt before I die, you're wrong."
"You were once a superhero..."
"That was in the past. The Tek Knight who wanted to be a superhero is dead! Now, Tech is just an old man waiting to die in a gutter," Tek Knight said calmly.
Dreams of being a superhero and overthrowing Vought were no longer in Tek Knight's plans. Now, he just wanted to spend his remaining ti peacefully, without bothering about anything else.
Roger sighed and said, "Even if I could remove the tumor in your brain, you still wouldn't help ?"
"Heh, do you think I would believe that? You can't do it. No one in this world can do it."
"...Forget it." Seeing that Tek Knight still wouldn't help, Roger said, "It seems Tek Knight is truly 'dead.' I'm sorry for bothering you. Let the people I sent to find you co back. I won't trouble you again."
Before Tek Knight could reply, Roger hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone on the other end, Tek Knight was stunned. He stared at the phone for a long ti with a strange expression before handing it back to Mother's Milk, asking, "Was that really Holander on the other end?"
"Of course." Mother's Milk smashed the phone and crushed the SIM card before saying to Tek Knight, "I'm very sure it was Holander because no other superhuman in this world can shoot laser beams from their eyes and fly at the sa ti."
"No... no!" Tek Knight paced back and forth before suddenly saying with absolute certainty, "He isn't Holander!"
"?!" Mother's Milk and Butcher looked at Tek Knight in confusion.
Before they could ask, Tek Knight said, "The Holander I know isn't like this... Nevermind, co with ."
Tek Knight led Mother's Milk and Butcher inside, stopping in front of a wall. He activated a hidden chanism, and the seemingly ordinary brick wall slowly opened to reveal a secret room.
Inside the room were several standing file cabinets, and at the center stood a massive black suit of armor over two ters tall.
This was Tek Knight's beloved armor. Only with it on could he possess strength comparable to superhumans and be considered a superhero.
"And these are...?" Butcher's attention wasn't on the armor but on the file cabinets. He had a guess about what they contained but still asked.
Tek Knight replied, "The dirt you wanted. It's all here."
"Why not store it digitally?" Butcher asked, surprised.
Tek Knight smiled, "Paper lasts longer and is safer. There are digital copies too, just not here."
"So, you're going to help us?" Mother's Milk asked as Tek Knight entered the room.
Tek Knight looked back at them and said, "I didn't agree to help you, but I'll let you see the 'darkness' beneath these so-called superheroes' glamorous exteriors. What you do afterward is up to you. Also, I want to et Holander."
Butcher and Mother's Milk exchanged a glance before Butcher said, "You should know why Holander didn't co to see you himself."
"I know, I know, Vought's chip, right? The one they put in him when he was a kid. Now no one can cut through his skin to remove it. The company can track him via the chip, so he can't co to directly. But it's fine; I can go to him."
"Vought is probably monitoring you too. Maybe not nearby, but once you leave this alley..."
"Don't worry, I have my ways. Just tell him my demands," Tek Knight said with a smile.
