Chapter 516: Grand vision and worlds apart (First update, please subscribe!)

~7 min read 1,222 words

Sonia said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "What was there to chat about with them?"

"A lot."

"We ran into the Sentinel Services' Second Action Team. The captain's name is Herbert. He promised me that as long as I hand over Lauren and her family, as long as I don't break the law, they absolutely won't bother me. Even if they target me, they will provide me with information immediately."

The content of what Su Quan said made Reed and Caitlin nervous, and Sonia was about to speak but stopped. Then they heard him continue.

"He dares to cooperate with me with such conditions? Does he look down on me? Or does he look down on the word 'cooperation'?"

"The basis of cooperation is getting what each needs. Using worthless conditions like 'not bothering me' to fool me—he's small-minded, his vision is too small!"

Sage asked curiously, "For you, what kind of conditions would be a 'grand vision'?"

Su Quan smiled and said, "Of course, it's me giving him a few people, and him giving me a few people!"

"What do you mean?"

"I give him stubborn fugitives, letting him get a promotion and a raise; he gives me obedient prisoners, letting me enjoy myself—that's what you call a grand vision!"

A grand vision?

Nonsense!

Isn't that just sacrificing others to satisfy your own selfish desires?

This is called an exchange of interests, colluding together!

Sage didn't know if Su Quan was serious, but her expression was somewhat ugly.

Seeing this, Sonia changed the subject.

"Can we trouble you to send their family to Mexico? Once they arrive, they will tell you the location of the prison Lorna might be sent to and the transport route."

Su Quan glanced at them. Reed and Caitlin's eyes were more or less guarded, perhaps frightened by his talk of colluding with the Sentinel Services.

Lauren and Andy had reluctance on their faces; it was clear they wanted to stay, but they couldn't control or resist their parents' decision!

"Say it now."

Su Quan raised his hand and threw out a teleportation crystal. The purple crystal turned into a bright portal in the open space.

The other side of the portal was a somewhat desolate open space. On a road sign not far away, the word "Mexico" was clearly printed.

"This... this is Mexico?"

The Reed family was incredibly surprised to see the scene on the other side.

Su Quan said "Mhm." "Say it."

"Okay, okay..."

Reed nodded, stated the information he had mastered, and then solemnly expressed his gratitude to Su Quan, Sonia, and the others.

"Thank you for your help to our family, really, thank you very much!"

"Thank you."

"Goodbye."

Lauren waved at Su Quan with reluctance. Although they had only just met, the experience of being together had already given her an indescribable fondness.

Will you come to find me?

Will I dream of you again?

If I call your name, will you appear again?

Lauren asked herself these three questions silently in her heart, then followed her family onto Mexican soil, looking back every step of the way, watching the portal disappear bit by bit with a sense of loss.

A distance of one step, yet they were worlds apart. Lauren's nose felt slightly sore, and she almost felt like her sadness was flowing into a river.

Su Quan wasn't as sentimental. Regarding the departure of Lauren and the others, his only thought now was curiosity!

In the original plot, the Reed family wanted to smuggle into Mexico with the help of Eclipse, but they were sabotaged by the Sentinel Services, resulting in Reed being captured.

Later, Reed and Lorna were rescued together, and their family stayed in the mutant underground, gradually becoming core members.

When the organization split, Andy followed Lorna and the others, joining the Hellfire Club.

He even found a little girlfriend later, but unfortunately, this little girlfriend had an extreme personality and later died.

Now that their family has safely arrived in Mexico and is temporarily away from the main plot, who knows what experiences and changes they will have.

Everyone came to the computer. Sage's hands typed quickly on the keyboard, and before long, a marked map location appeared on the monitor.

"Garlan Detention Center, mutant holding area. The security here is very tight; so far, no one has been able to successfully escape from here."

Sage said while marking several transport routes.

"Personally, I think the safest way is to act on the road while Lorna is being transported to Garlan Detention Center. You can teleport directly into the transport vehicle and then bring Lorna back quietly."

"This can also serve as a certain level of misdirection, making them unable to determine exactly where Lorna was rescued."

Sonia and John nodded in agreement.

Sage's mutant ability gives her brain an infinite storage capacity similar to a computer, capable of recording and analyzing large amounts of data.

She can perform multiple tasks simultaneously like a computer's multi-threading, without getting distracted.

She also possesses a photographic memory.

Her memory is of the active type, capable of presenting all specific information in her memory with incredible speed and precision, and she can also analyze the probability of events based on the data stored in her mind.

Therefore, her role in the mutant underground is intelligence analysis and backup support.

"What do you think?" Seeing Su Quan didn't respond, Sonia nudged his shoulder with hers.

Su Quan smiled and said, "I have no opinion, but Lorna might not agree!"

Everyone thought about it. Well, given Lorna's personality, she would definitely want revenge, want to make a big scene. Just sneaking away like that would definitely leave her feeling resentful.

"What do you mean?" John asked.

Su Quan shrugged. "I definitely prioritize satisfying Lorna. If she wants to make a big scene, I'll accompany her to turn the world upside down."

"Have you thought about the consequences of doing that?"

Sage said rationally, "The Sentinel Services will treat us as a thorn in their side, biting onto us tightly, and this base will no longer be safe!"

"We don't care, but what about those mutants who need help?"

Sage's words made sense; the base's safety was built on the premise that the Sentinel Services didn't conduct large-scale sweeps.

Once they were angered and found this place, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Sonia and John's expressions were a bit heavy, but Su Quan said with a relaxed face, "Your argument is built on the premise that I'm not here. If it's the same whether I'm here or not, doesn't that make me seem useless?"

"How about this: you guess what my most proficient ability is?"

You have so many abilities, who knows what you're most proficient at?

Sonia tested, "Teleportation?"

John said, "Or the ability to control magnetic fields? You're stronger than Lorna at this ability!"

Su Quan smiled without saying a word.

Sage analyzed, "Is it the invisibility ability? You can make the Sentinel Services unable to see you and Sonia. Can this ability be used on the base?"

After speaking, without waiting for Su Quan to answer, she frowned and said, "Such an obvious building, even if you can hide it, they still know it's here. When they launch an attack, hiding it won't have any meaning."
