Chapter 418

~7 min read 1,247 words

Ohio, Springfield.

The night was like ink, the stars were sparse, and the carnival amusement park was brightly lit and bustling with noise.

Most of the project areas were crowded with people, and only a few unpopular and uninteresting projects looked somewhat deserted.

Chris Bradley sat in his booth, looking enviously at the bustle around him; the light bulb on the table in front of him flickered, just like his mood at the moment.

The bustle belongs to them, I have nothing!

"What do you do?" A tall, beautiful woman came to his booth and asked curiously.

A customer had arrived, but he didn't seem excited; many people had asked throughout the night, but very few were actually willing to spend money to play.

Sitting up slightly and squeezing out a smile that could barely be called enthusiastic, he explained: "Just turn off the light to win a prize."

"One dollar for three tries."

The tall, beautiful woman looked at the light bulb on the table and the switch next to it, then smiled and handed over the money.

"I want to try."

Chris Bradley's eyes lit up, and his demeanor became a bit more enthusiastic.

"Snap!"

The woman flipped the switch, but the light bulb remained bright.

"That's too obvious." The woman suspected he was cheating and directly unplugged the power to the light bulb.

However, the light bulb did not go out.

Chris Bradley proudly held up two fingers: "That's two tries."

The woman smiled, looking at him while unscrewing the light bulb from the socket.

Yet... the light bulb remained bright!

"A bit interesting."

The woman was slightly surprised, put down the gradually heating light bulb, and smiled at Chris Bradley, whose face had already changed color.

"My master wants to talk to you."

Chris Bradley's body tensed, and he said with a nervous, ingratiating smile: "I, I don't think there's anything to talk about."

The woman shook her head with a smile: "I don't care what you think, I care about what I think!"

"..."

Chris Bradley stared at her: "Who are you?"

The woman shook her head again: "Who I am isn't important; what's important is who my master is."

Chris Bradley shrugged and went along with it: "Alright, then who is your master?"

"You'll know when you see him."

Back to square one.

Chris Bradley sighed and said seriously: "Listen, I don't care who you or your master are, I don't want to cause trouble, you can go now."

"And if I don't?"

"Zzzzz—"

The sound of electric current surged, and all the lights in the booth eerily emitted light beyond their capacity and began to flicker rapidly.

"I'm not afraid of you!"

Chris Bradley stared at her, his eyes cold and fierce.

The next second.

His expression froze, and an ingratiating, sheepish smile appeared on his face.

Facing the pitch-black muzzle of a gun, he simply couldn't be tough.

"Weren't you not afraid?"

The woman teased with a smile, pointing to a motorhome not far behind the booth.

That was his motorhome, and also his home.

His home had been broken into...

Chris Bradley was somewhat incredulous.

His ability was to generate electricity and control all electrical appliances; there were many cameras in the motorhome, and although they didn't look like they were connected to power at first glance, they were actually running all the time.

If anyone entered the motorhome, he would know immediately, and could even see what the cameras saw through them.

But until now, the images seen by the cameras were normal, and there was simply no one in the somewhat dim motorhome.

Was she playing tricks, or was her master simply not here, and he needed to drive there himself?

Chris Bradley thought as he arrived at the still-dim motorhome door.

"Snap!"

The moment the door opened, all the lights inside suddenly turned on.

The sudden light made him subconsciously reach out to cover his eyes, squinting.

"Hiss—"

A moment later, he gasped, looking in disbelief at Su Quan, who was sitting on the sofa with a twin sister in each arm.

"There... there are so many people." He said something just to have something to say, nodding toward Kayla, White Queen, and little Raven next to him.

There was no one in the car just now, how did they appear?

Well, how they appeared wasn't important anymore; what was important was, what was Su Quan's purpose in coming to find him?

After the mutant team disbanded, Su Quan didn't leave because of Kayla, and now he had suddenly brought so many people to find him; this didn't look like catching up on old times.

"Su Quan, long time no see." Chris Bradley greeted him with a forced calm smile.

Su Quan shook his head with a smile: "It hasn't been that long."

Long or not, does it matter?

Chris Bradley: "You came to find me, is there something wrong?"

"I came to show you something good." Su Quan waved his hand with a smile.

A corpse appeared out of thin air and fell in front of Chris Bradley.

"Zero, Agent Zero?"

Chris Bradley was startled, his breathing becoming rapid instantly: "You, you killed him?"

"To be precise, he wanted to kill me, and I killed him in self-defense."

Su Quan said with a smile: "William Stryker has a plan, letting me pretend to defect, hunt down the members of the mutant team, and force Wolverine to voluntarily accept his transformation."

"..."

Chris Bradley subconsciously glanced at the door; big Raven, who had brought him over, was standing in front of the door, looking at him with a smile.

Want to run?

Give it up!

Chris Bradley showed a bitter smile; although he wasn't a very smart person, he knew he was in trouble.

In big trouble!

Su Quan had confessed William Stryker's plan so directly, he had no choice left.

Either be on Su Quan's side, or... die!

Chris Bradley said with a bitter smile: "I want to know what happened."

"In Nigeria, I joined you on my own initiative, with the goal of using William Stryker to recruit the mutants I appreciate!"

"Except for them, the others were all rescued by me from William Stryker."

Su Quan had appreciated the lightning-wielder in the mutant team, which was Chris Bradley in front of him, from the very beginning.

Although his ability didn't have much offensive power, its applicability and practicality were very strong.

So the first target was him!

Chris Bradley said in surprise: "Then... you've fallen out with William Stryker now?"

Su Quan shook his head with a smile: "I'm cooperating with him, continuing to implement his plan."

"Then... what do you mean now?"

"You know."

The truth has been told to you, what else could it mean?

Choose one of two.

Either become one of us, or become a dead person.

Chris Bradley wanted to refuse, but he knew he couldn't; Su Quan had already given him a way out, and letting him go was impossible.

After all, this was William Stryker's plan; even if Su Quan was willing to let him go, William Stryker wouldn't.

If he wasn't mistaken, after the mutant team disbanded, their whereabouts had always been under William Stryker's control.

Chris Bradley was silent for a moment, then said with a bitter smile: "I want to say I'm not afraid of death, I'm not afraid of you, but in fact, I am!"

"From now on, I'm your man."
