Chapter 547

The Cuckoo sisters were twenty-one years old this year.

Eight years ago, Esme, Sophie, and Phoebe, who were only thirteen, had to face the hardships and dangers of society. It was imaginable how difficult it was.

They didn't turn evil; they just learned a lot of "tea art" (manipulative behavior), which could already be considered as "emerging from the mud without being stained."

Esme smiled and said with emotion: "Actually, we didn't live as hard as you imagined. At first, it was indeed a bit miserable. We used our abilities to find food and places to live. Because we were afraid of being discovered and caught back, we had to change places almost every day."

"Later..."

"We met Reeva Payge. She was also a mutant and a member of the Hellfire Club. She took us in, helped us, and took care of us, so we became members of the Hellfire Club, worked for her, and walked step by step to where we are today."

The two White Queens looked at each other and shook their heads.

The name Reeva Payge was very unfamiliar, meaning that this person didn't exist in the Hellfire Club of other worlds.

Esme looked at them and said with a smile: "We sisters never knew who our mother was. Although it was a bit strange, I am still very happy; at least we know who our mother is now."

"Frost."

"Our name is Emma Frost."

"Frost, huh..." Esme muttered to herself. From today on, they sisters also had a surname.

Esme Frost.

"Can you diamondize?" The little White Queen asked curiously.

Esme shook her head in confusion: "Diamondize?"

The little White Queen explained: "We have two abilities. Well, to be precise, she has two abilities; I haven't awakened for the second time yet."

"These two abilities are psychic ability and diamondization. Diamondization is like this..."

After the little White Queen finished speaking, she entered her diamond form.

Esme was startled looking at the little White Queen who was like a human diamond. This was the "mother's" ability; no wonder she was called the White Queen.

"We only have psychic ability." Not being able to inherit the "mother's" other ability made Esme feel a bit regretful.

The White Queen comforted her with a smile: "The Master can strengthen mutants' abilities. If you five sisters work hard, there will definitely be opportunities for strengthening. By then, you might be able to awaken the diamondization ability."

The Master refers to Su Quan, right? He can strengthen mutants' abilities? It is indeed possible. I heard Clarice was strengthened, which is why she could use her abilities freely.

But... five sisters?

Esme reiterated with slight displeasure: "Celeste and Mindee are already dead."

The White Queen felt her dissatisfaction and said with a light laugh: "It seems there are many things the Master hasn't told you yet. That human who came with you, do you know why he would accept the experiment of transplanting mutant abilities?"

Jester?

Esme shook her head: "I don't know."

The White Queen said: "As long as he works for us, there is a chance to resurrect his daughters. There are two prerequisites for resurrection: Phoenix Force and psychic ability, which is why he needs to transplant psychic ability."

Esme stood up excitedly: "Phoenix Force can resurrect Celeste and Mindee?"

The death of Celeste and Mindee was their eternal sorrow. The five sisters became three sisters; they could never be complete again.

Now the White Queen told her that they had the possibility of being resurrected. How could she not be excited?

"If you know him well enough, you know there is nothing he can't do. Resurrection is just one of many insignificant miracles."

After the White Queen finished speaking, a golden-red energy permeated her body. The surging energy turned into substantial flames behind her, and red flame wings condensed, faintly emitting a soul-stirring and powerful sense of oppression.

"This is the Phoenix Force bestowed upon me by the Master."

"Oh my god, then you..."

"Yes, I can also resurrect Celeste and Mindee, but don't be happy too early. Without the Master's permission, I won't resurrect them, even if they are..."

The White Queen didn't say what they were, but Esme understood.

She didn't blame the White Queen's decisiveness. After all, even for real mothers and daughters, there would be reservations in giving without any emotional foundation, let alone their mother-daughter relationship that was "like and yet not like."

Esme wasn't angry; instead, she said gratefully: "Thank you, I know what to do."

Su Quan didn't tell her about the strengthening and resurrection, nor did he rescue Sophie and Phoebe; clearly, he had other plans and arrangements.

The White Queen wouldn't undermine Su Quan, but she could remind Esme to be sharp.

Su Quan's will was the will of all of them.

"It seems you are getting along very happily. I was worried you would be awkward." Su Quan appeared in front of them with a grin, putting his hands on the shoulders of Esme and the White Queen.

Uh, now it's a bit awkward.

Su Quan said without any self-awareness: "I heard everything you said. After we go back, I will have Jester cooperate with us to release Sophie and Phoebe. As for resurrecting Celeste and Mindee, I want to see your sincerity."

Esme nodded excitedly: "I understand."

"No, you don't understand!" Su Quan shook his head: "The sincerity I'm talking about isn't you accompanying me, or working for me with your heart; these are sincerity, but they are also what is expected."

"The sincerity I'm talking about is..."

"Reeva Payge!"

Su Quan looked at Esme, whose face changed slightly: "She has been kind to you, and she is very capable. Persuade her or kill her. If you achieve one of these, I will resurrect Celeste and Mindee."

Hearing that it wasn't asking her to kill Reeva directly, Esme breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "I will persuade her to join us."

Su Quan hummed noncommittally.

Reeva was capable, ambitious, and had methods. If she was willing to submit, Su Quan wouldn't mind letting her shine under his command; anyway, the people under his command were already competitive enough.

One more of her isn't much, one less isn't little. As long as she obeys his orders and doesn't touch his bottom line, then let her be.

If she refuses, then sorry.

Su Quan wouldn't demand everyone to be loyal to him, especially those with whom he didn't have much interaction or favor. As long as they were willing to listen, willing to obey orders, and had a sense of belonging to this force, that was enough.

But!

If his own people were loyal to others, that wouldn't do.

So the Esme sisters must make a clean break with Reeva. It was impossible to let them receive benefits and favors from him on one hand, while being loyal to an outsider in their hearts on the other!

Body in Cao camp, heart in Han?

Even if Reeva had no threat, Su Quan would feel uncomfortable in his heart. Since he felt uncomfortable, why wrong himself?
