Chapter 983: Esme, who was seen through (First update, please subscribe!)

Su Quan and Esme's goals are consistent to a certain extent: both want to use the Sentinel Services to strike at the mutant underground organization, and then provide help to turn them into their own people.

Su Quan represents Void Island, and Esme represents the Hellfire Club.

Their goals are the same, but their plans are different.

Esme's plan is to become a member of the mutant underground organization, gain everyone's trust, and then influence the organization's decisions at a critical moment.

Su Quan is different. His plan from the beginning was to take over the nest, aiming directly at becoming the leader of the mutant underground organization.

Influence the organization's decisions?

Heh—my thoughts are the organization's decisions!

"You mean Esme is inciting us to go up against the Sentinel Services, with the goal of wanting to win me over and make me join the Hellfire Club?"

"Yes."

Lorna couldn't figure it out. Does going up against the Sentinel Services have anything to do with her joining the Hellfire Club?

When that time really comes, she would definitely stand with the underground organization. How could she abandon everyone and run off to join the Hellfire Club?

"Lorna, you're a bystander who's confused." Sage pondered: "With Su Quan here, we won't have any casualties when we go up against the Sentinel Services. But what if Su Quan weren't here?"

"We would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the organization would fall apart. When that time comes, if Esme invites you to join the Hellfire Club, would you join for the sake of the remaining people?"

Lorna was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know, maybe... maybe I would."

Sage thought of something and joked with a smile: "Actually, I think Esme's current target isn't necessarily Lorna; it might be you instead."

Su Quan was stunned, then laughed dumbly: "You're right, it really might be me."

Esme's plan must have been implemented before Su Quan was wanted, because with Su Quan there, the underground organization couldn't suffer heavy casualties, and Esme naturally had no reason to win Lorna over to join the Hellfire Club.

The Hellfire Club has always been plotting to confront ordinary humans, but they are different from the members of the underground base; the methods they adopt are often more brutal and extreme.

Esme's mission is to win over prestigious mutant families in history to form an alliance with the club. For example, Lorna—her father, Magneto, was once a member of the club.

And for example, Andy and Lauren, who are currently far from the plot; they are the new generation of Fenris twins in the family.

Although the plan to win over Lorna went bankrupt as soon as it started, Esme definitely wouldn't give up just like that. After all, Sophie and Phoebe are still locked up in the Sentinel Services.

Now the underground organization is basically run by Su Quan. It's not like he has absolute control, but he has veto power over any action.

If Esme wants to save people, she has to deal with him first.

Hehehe, I'm starting to look forward to it.

"I'll handle Esme's matter. You guys collect relevant information about Trask Industries. By the way, you can look for a man named Otto."

"He is Reed Strucker's father and also a mutant. He used to work at Trask Industries and mastered a lot of useful information."

The father-son relationship between Otto and Reed is very poor, and they haven't seen each other for many years. Using information about Reed and Lauren should be enough to exchange for a lot of information.

Su Quan is somewhat interested in his method of suppressing Reed's mutant gene.

After giving a few instructions, Su Quan prepared to go talk to Jace Turner. He's been considering it for so long; there should be an answer by now, right?

Sentinel Services Headquarters, Captain of the First Action Team's office.

Su Quan's sudden appearance startled Jace Turner, who was buried in his work. His first reaction was to stand up and lock the door.

"Click."

Jace Turner, who had locked the door, breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice with displeasure: "Why did you come here? This is the Sentinel Services headquarters."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Su Quan looked at him and asked with a cold laugh.

Jace Turner's expression stiffened, and he shook his head slowly: "That's not what I meant, it's just... this is the Sentinel Services headquarters."

"So what? It's not my first time here."

Fine, other mutants might regard this place as a tiger's den.

But to Su Quan, this place is probably no different from a coffee shop on the street that he can come and go from as he pleases.

Jace Turner straightened his attitude, so Su Quan didn't continue to press him and asked straight to the point: "How have you considered it?"

Is your stance more important, or is your daughter more important?
