Chapter 540: Jealous Lorna (First update, please subscribe!)

Esme was very curious about what gift Su Quan had prepared, but she didn't choose to enjoy it alone in advance.

Even though they, the Cuckoo sisters, were one, and could share memories and senses when they met, this was the first gift they had received since they were children.

This joy should be witnessed together.

How could sharing happiness with them compare to being happy together?

Su Quan brought Esme to the intelligence room where core members gathered, which was also the place where Sage usually monitored news.

Everyone looked at the two who appeared together with strange eyes and teasing expressions; they already knew the little story between Su Quan and Esme.

Esme greeted everyone generously. Su Quan came to Lorna's side and asked casually and naturally: "Did you find Otto?"

Otto Strucker was Reed Strucker's father, and also Andy Strucker and Lauren Strucker's grandfather.

At first glance, it sounded like nonsense, and in reality, it was nonsense, including this sentence!

Lorna glanced sideways and hummed with dissatisfaction: "We aren't as leisurely as you, having time to pick up girls."

Su Quan wanted to pat Lorna's shoulder, but Lorna, who had already written her unhappiness on her face, dodged directly.

His hand missed, but Su Quan didn't mind, smiling as he used his psychic ability to connect with Lorna.

"Jealous?"

Lorna hummed: "I'm not jealous, I'm just angry! You said Esme had problems and that you'd handle her, and this is how you handled her?"

You keep saying you like me, then you're with Sonya, and unclear with Clarice? That would be one thing, but even with the problematic Esme, you...

This is what you call liking me?

I really believed your nonsense!

Su Quan smiled and explained: "Don't be angry yet. Do you know who her mother is? It's the White Queen! Of course, only from a genetic perspective, and it's the cross-dimensional kind!"

Lorna widened her eyes in surprise: "You aren't lying to me? She's really the White Queen's daughter? Is the White Queen still the Little White Queen? Uh... it seems they're all the same?"

Su Quan continued: "I can't kill her, and I can't leave her alone. What can I do? I can only turn them into my own people."

"You really are..." Lorna didn't know what to say.

Su Quan shrugged, cut off the psychic connection, and said: "Let's talk business. Tell me Otto's address. I'm very curious how he let Reed be an ordinary person for so many years."

Lorna said in surprise: "What do you mean? You're saying... Reed is also a mutant?"

"Reed is a mutant? That's impossible, he doesn't have any superpowers, and if he were a mutant, how could he become a prosecutor in charge of mutant cases?"

The few people who knew Reed couldn't believe she was a mutant. Clarice, however, thought of something and said subconsciously: "Reed's mutant gene was erased?"

Erased mutant gene?

"That's impossible. If someone had mastered a way to erase mutant genes, there would definitely be rumors and news about it."

"Being able to erase mutant genes means being able to exterminate mutants. If someone could really do it, the Sentinel Services would definitely be grabbing mutants like crazy."

"Exactly..."

Everyone argued back and forth. It wasn't that they didn't believe Su Quan, it was just that this news was too shocking.

Clarice glanced at Su Quan and didn't continue to argue.

"Possible or not, we'll know when we see Otto." Su Quan reached out to Lorna: "Want to go together?"

"Okay."

Lorna took his hand and said Otto's address.

"Whoosh—"

The two disappeared.

Tennessee, Chattanooga.

The sky was overcast, with a light drizzle falling. There were few pedestrians on the street, and they were all walking quickly with umbrellas.

"I hate rainy days," Lorna muttered, pointing her chin at an antique shop near the street not far away: "That's it."

The two pushed the door open, and the wind chime at the entrance rang. The white-haired old man at the counter looked up at the sound and said politely to the two: "Feel free to look around, if you're interested in anything, you can ask me."

The shop wasn't very big, and all kinds of antiques and old objects were arranged in an orderly fashion, with a sense of age hitting them in the face.

Lorna looked around curiously. Su Quan came to the counter and said softly: "The only thing here that interests me is you—Otto Strucker."

Otto's cloudy eyes emitted a glimmer of light: "Who are you people? I don't seem to know you."

"Be bolder, drop the 'seem to'," Su Quan said with a smile: "This is our first meeting. My name is Su Quan, and she is Lorna, you can also call her Polaris."

Otto glanced at Lorna, who was waving at him, and said in a deep voice: "Are you from the mutant underground organization? The Sentinel Services have been here; they think you are a terrorist organization."

The Sentinel Services had looked for him because of the Reed family, but he didn't have a good relationship with Reed and hadn't been in contact for many years. Moreover, he was a retired employee of Trask Industries, so it was just a routine inquiry, and they didn't make things difficult for him.

"We aren't terrorists, sir!" Lorna said with dissatisfaction.

"No, no, of course not, you're freedom fighters, right?" Otto said.

This was sarcastic, wasn't it?

Su Quan stopped Lorna, who was a bit angry, and said with a light laugh: "We aren't here to have a political debate with you. You should have heard about Lauren and Andy, right? Even if you haven't, the Sentinel Services would have told you."

"I heard, they told me when they interrogated me," Otto said: "I told them I had never seen my grandson and granddaughter, and I hadn't been in contact with my son for many years."

"That's the truth, so you've come for nothing. I probably know even less than you do about them."

Otto thought they were here for Lauren and Andy.

Su Quan shook his head: "I'm here for your research at Trask Industries."

"Trask Industries no longer exists; it closed down long ago," Otto said.

Su Quan looked at him and smiled: "You should know in your heart that such a lame excuse is useless. But if you say it's closed, then it's closed. After all, it's better that it's closed, so no one will know what you did."

A flash of doubt crossed Otto's eyes: "It, it reopened?"

Lorna hummed and took over: "They are doing anti-mutant research. As far as I know, you worked there for thirty years, and it just so happens that your grandson and granddaughter are mutants."

"Oh, almost forgot."

"Your son is also a mutant!"
