Chapter 489: Laura's parentage, your father is not your biological father

Solving Mr. Sinister and the Essex Corporation was only somewhat troublesome and time-consuming for Su Quan; it was far from difficult or thorny.

The time and energy spent compared to the harvest were not even worth mentioning!

First is Mr. Sinister's genetic and cloning technology, especially the latter, which is second to none in the entire Marvel universe.

Second is the Red Queen he created. The value of the Red Queen is not just about collecting the three great Queens; it also involves the Phoenix Force.

Finally, it's about solving this once and for all. Once the Mr. Sinister of this world is dealt with, one can follow the vines to solve the Mr. Sinister of other worlds.

The Weapon X program in the new X-Men timeline that had Wolverine injected with adamantium was led by the Essex Corporation.

X-23 in Logan was also a masterpiece of the Essex Corporation.

Including Deadpool, his ability to gain healing powers and become Deadpool also stemmed from the Essex Corporation's experiments.

Let's put it this way: Mr. Sinister is the only villain in the mutant film series who causes trouble without showing his face!

The splashing water gradually ceased, the bathroom door was slowly pushed open, and Opportunity, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out cautiously.

Her long hair, previously messy and matted, now fell smoothly over her shoulders, revealing her delicate features that had been obscured.

Like a lotus rising from clear water, natural and unadorned.

She wasn't the type to look stunning at first glance, but she was very delicate, very pure, and had that sweet, girl-next-door feel.

Such a delicate little girl, with such a rare mutant ability, had actually been reduced to living in a garbage dump and keeping company with rats. The Essex Corporation really does harm people!

Su Quan beckoned, and after she approached step by step, he said seriously, "My name is Su Quan, the Lord of the Void of the multiverse. From now on, you are my person!"

"You, you won't let the people from the Essex Corporation come to catch me, will you?" Opportunity asked, feeling uneasy.

Su Quan shook his head: "No."

Opportunity breathed a long sigh of relief and asked again, "Will you give me food and ensure my safety?"

"Yes, I will!"

Opportunity nodded heavily: "Then I am willing to follow you. You... you can make me do anything!"

"Anything?"

"Yes, anything!"

"Can you cook braised pork?"

"..."

A flash of confusion crossed Opportunity's face. Her current situation was somewhat similar to amnesia; although she didn't remember her past, some common sense and instincts for daily life remained, and her mental state and logical thinking were fine.

With proper care for a period of time, even if she couldn't recover her memory, she could start a new life like an ordinary person!

"The current situation makes it inconvenient for you to follow me. I will send you to another world, a world where the Essex Corporation will never find you and can never hurt you. There, someone will take care of you and tell you what to do."

Hearing the name of the Essex Corporation, Opportunity shivered instinctively, showing a terrified expression. Then, hearing that the Essex Corporation would never find her and could never hurt her, she slowly felt at ease.

"I, I will listen to you."

Su Quan manipulated the spatial dimension to teleport the White Queen over, told her about Opportunity's abilities and plight, and then sent them back to another world.

In the long, lonely night, only Su Quan and Laura were left in the empty room.

Su Quan drank wine with a calm expression, using his psychic abilities to continue searching for the Red Queen and Mr. Sinister, chatting occasionally with Laura, who seemed inexplicably reserved.

At first, they talked about mutants and the Essex Corporation. Gradually, the topic somehow veered toward the Watchmen universe, discussing Laura's childhood and her mother.

Her mother was Sally Jupiter, originally a waitress and actress, who joined the hero organization 'The Minutemen' after World War II, being one of only two female heroes.

The other was The Silhouette.

The Silhouette was female, preferred women, and was later murdered in her home along with her nurse lover.

Sally Jupiter later married the agent of the Minutemen organization, gave birth to Laura, and raised her from childhood to become the second Silk Spectre.

Neither the first Silk Spectre nor the second Silk Spectre had any superpowers, but both were skilled combatants, acrobats, and hand-to-hand fighters.

Their uniforms were more provocative than the last; one was silk, the other leather, both in the 'yellow' color scheme.

By comparison, why was The Silhouette, also a female hero, less popular and not famous?

Whether in the movie or the comic, she wore too much; she had absolutely no great awareness of saving fabric for the country!

"Speaking of which... do you know who your father is?" Su Quan looked at Laura thoughtfully and suddenly asked.

Laura laughed in spite of herself: "How could I not know who my father is?"

"I'm talking about your biological father."

"That's what I'm talking about too."

"Then you might really not know..."

The hand holding the wine glass froze. A moment later, she tilted her head and drank it all in one gulp, pretending to be calm: "That's not a funny joke."

Su Quan said 'hmm': "It's getting late, and I've had a bit too much to drink. Let's get some rest; we'll go find Takashi Matsuya tomorrow."

As he spoke, he got up, ready to return to the suite to rest.

"Wait..."

As he passed Laura, she suddenly grabbed his wrist, gritted her teeth, and looked up: "The world I belonged to is gone. No matter what the truth is, it has no meaning, and deceiving myself has no meaning either. Tell me, who exactly is my biological father?"

Past, future—time had no meaning to Su Quan. He knew many things. Since he had asked, Laura believed he would never speak without a reason.

In other words, there must be a problem with her background; the father she had always believed in was definitely not her biological father!

"Your father is indeed your mother's husband, but he is not your biological father. This is something that perhaps even he himself doesn't know."

"Your biological father is your mother's comrade-in-arms—The Comedian!"

"It's him?!"

Laura was a bit stunned. Her first reaction was that it was impossible. From childhood to adulthood, she had seen The Comedian many times and had never noticed anything unusual about him, nor had she ever noticed him treating her differently.
