Chapter 985: High-end hunters often appear as prey (Second update, please subscribe!)

~7 min read 1,248 words

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Since Jace Turner already had the resolve to die, Su Quan was too lazy to waste his breath trying to reassure him.

"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 discovered that 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. Instead, he 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 wanting to save people.

The change in identity made him feel a bit uncomfortable, but he quickly straightened out 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 Cuckoo Sisters 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 a very deeply hidden organization with close relationships with many big shots.

On the contrary, he happened to know where Sophie and Phoebe were locked up.

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 head-on. I'll find a reason to bring them 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 to death?"

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

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

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

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

It doesn't matter if you can't stop it. Just give a heads-up in advance, and hijack them halfway.

Su Quan's purpose 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 as prey.

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

What the Hellfire Club can give them, he can give them the same, and even give them more.

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

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

And...

Do you want a mother? As long as you open your golden mouths, I will send one to you immediately!

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

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

If I remember correctly, later there was a sonic mutant named Reeva who killed all the members of the core 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?

If you want to talk about the legitimacy of the Hellfire Club, who can compare to your mother, the White Queen?

As the second generation of the club with deep roots and red seedlings, you don't follow your legitimate mother, but instead follow a piece of trash with no reputation who rose to power by eliminating dissidents. Won't your filial piety hurt?

Back to the point.

Besides the matter of artificial mutants and the Cuckoo sisters, Su Quan had another purpose in 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's here to back Clarice up!

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

Captain of the Second Action Team, 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 initial 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 she is the leader of the underground organization, Su Quan is even more extraordinary. If she doesn't handle Su Quan, even if she wins Lorna over and wins over more people, it's useless!

"Whoosh—"

As they were talking, the sound of breaking through the 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 said with a smile: "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, let out a long breath, stood up and said: "Where is he?"

"I'll take you there."

"Okay."

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

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

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

Su Quan didn't refuse Esme, who was "creating something out of nothing." 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 car, and there was a man on the driver's seat of the car who was on the phone.

"He is Herbert."

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

"With me here, take your revenge with peace of mind."
