Chapter 535

~7 min read 1,225 words

Hearing is believing, seeing is reality. Since Jace Turner had already made up his mind to die, Su Quan couldn't be bothered to waste his breath persuading him to be at ease.

"I'll come to pick you up in a week."

"Okay."

Jace Turner nodded.

He thought Su Quan would leave after finishing the business; after all, this was the Sentinel Services headquarters. If someone really found out he was in contact with him, his job would be hard to keep, and he would also lose the content he had worked so hard to obtain.

However...

Su Quan didn't leave, but instead changed the subject and started talking about the prisoners locked up by the Sentinel Services.

Jace Turner understood as soon as he heard it; this was about wanting to save people.

The change in his status made him a bit uncomfortable, but he quickly straightened his identity, adjusted his mindset, and asked bluntly: "Who are you looking for?"

"One named Sophie, one named Phoebe. The two look exactly the same and possess the same telepathic ability."

"They also have a sister named Esme, who has just infiltrated the mutant underground organization. The three sisters are collectively known as the Stepford Cuckoos and are members of the mutant organization, the Hellfire Club."

Jace Turner had heard of the Hellfire Club, but didn't know much about it, only knowing that it was an organization hidden very deep and had close relationships with many big figures.

On the contrary, he happened to know where Sophie and Phoebe were being held.

After telling Su Quan the location of the detention center, he said seriously: "The defense level of this detention center is very high. If you want to save people, it's best not to attack by force. I'll find a reason to have them brought out of the detention center, and you can make your move on the road."

Su Quan shook his head with a smile: "Who said I wanted to save them? Esme has ill intentions. Her purpose in infiltrating the underground organization is to use the underground organization to save them and make the underground organization go to war with you."

Jace Turner was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said: "You want to keep them locked up?"

Does this "keep locked up" mean keeping them locked up until they die, or locking them up to kill them?

Su Quan shook his head: "As long as they aren't taken out, that's fine, especially not to Dr. Campbell's Trask Industries."

Jace Turner frowned: "Without a suitable reason, it's hard for me to stop Dr. Campbell."

Trask Industries is a cooperative unit of the Sentinel Services. If there is an order from above, Jace Turner, as an action team captain, really can't stop it without a suitable reason.

It doesn't matter if you can't stop it; just notify me in advance, and I'll just hijack them halfway.

Su Quan's goal is very simple: just don't let Sophie and Phoebe reunite with Esme, forcing Esme to stay in the underground organization and try every possible way to please him.

High-end hunters often appear in the guise of prey.

Esme wants to win over Lorna and the members of the underground organization to join the Hellfire Club, and Su Quan also wants her and the three sisters to join his forces.

What the Hellfire Club can give them, I can give them too, and even give them more.

Esme, Sophie, and Phoebe, back when you escaped from the laboratory, it caused Celeste and Mindee, who were being held as hostages, to be killed.

As long as you follow me, I will let you five sisters reunite.

And...

Do you want your mother? As long as you open your golden mouths, I'll send her to you immediately!

If one mother isn't enough, heh—then two!

Besides, what kind of thing is the Hellfire Club you follow?

If I remember correctly, later on, a sonic mutant named Reeva killed all the members of the inner circle who weren't of her faction and took control of the club.

Who does she think she is?

Can she represent the Hellfire Club?

When it comes to the legitimacy of the Hellfire Club, who can compare to your mother, the White Queen?

As a legitimate second generation of the club, not following your orthodox mother, but following a piece of trash who has no fame and rose to power by eliminating dissidents—won't your filial piety hurt?

Back to the main point.

Besides the matter of artificial mutants and the Stepford Cuckoo sisters, Su Quan had another purpose for coming to find Jace Turner this time, which was to find out who the murderer of Clarice's foster parents was!

Although it is the duty of Sentinel Services agents to deal with mutants and humans who help mutants, Su Quan isn't here to reason; he is here to back Clarice up!

Jace Turner said a name, and Su Quan was happy as soon as he heard it.

Second Action Team Captain, Herbert.

Tsk tsk, an acquaintance.

Su Quan gave Jace Turner a few more instructions, agreed on the time and place to meet in a week, and then teleported back to the underground organization's base.

Esme, who looked harmless and understanding, was chatting with Clarice. Her previous performance had gained Clarice's preliminary trust, so she learned a lot of non-confidential information during the chat, especially information about Su Quan.

Sage's analysis was correct; Esme had changed her target.

Although Lorna's father is Magneto, and although she is the leader of the underground organization, Su Quan is even more extraordinary. If you don't handle Su Quan, even if you win over Lorna and win over many more people, it's useless!

"Whoosh—"

As they were talking, a sound of breaking air rang out, and Su Quan appeared out of thin air in front of the two.

Clarice nodded at Su Quan and asked casually: "You went out?"

Su Quan said "hmm" and smiled: "I went to the Sentinel Services headquarters and helped you find out who the murderer of your foster parents was."

Clarice was stunned, her eyes burning: "Who is it!"

"Captain of the Second Action Team, Herbert."

Clarice muttered the name, exhaled a long breath, got up and said: "Where is he?"

"I'll take you there."

"Okay."

After speaking, Clarice took Su Quan's arm, waiting for teleportation.

"I... can I go with you? I had a friend who couldn't escape, and I... I want to avenge her."

Esme was worried about not having a chance to get in touch with Su Quan, and there was also Clarice, whose ability was also very strong and very practical. This was a great opportunity to improve their relationship.

Su Quan didn't refuse the "out of thin air" Esme. You want to get in touch with me? What a coincidence, so do I!

Esme followed suit and very naturally took Su Quan's other arm.

Then...

The world shifted, and the environment changed.

The next moment, they had already appeared in an underground parking lot.

Su Quan pointed to a black sedan, where a man was on the phone in the driver's seat.

"He is Herbert."

As he spoke, Su Quan waved his hand, took out a dagger, and handed it to Clarice.

"With me here, take your revenge in peace."
