Chapter 993
Esme's actions are indeed somewhat malicious, but she is not evil enough to be thorough, nor is she good enough to be thorough.
Swaying back and forth only increases her suffering.
In the original plot, among the three sisters, only Esme had an outburst of humanity, eventually joining the mutant underground organization.
Esme stared blankly at Su Quan: "Are you... are you trying to reform me?"
Su Quan shook his head gently: "I don't care if you are a good person or a bad person, nor do I care if you are a hero or a villain. Gold will always shine, and besides, you are a diamond..."
The corners of Esme's mouth lifted slightly: "Isn't it just that you want me to be with you? What can you give me?"
Su Quan said earnestly: "Do what you want to do; if you're wrong, it's on me."
If I'm wrong, it's on you...
Esme looked steadily at Su Quan; she admitted that her heart was moved.
The year she escaped from the laboratory after sacrificing Celeste and Mindee, she was only thirteen years old.
Silently bearing the pain and self-reproach of her sisters' sacrifice, hiding everywhere to avoid the laboratory's pursuit, she... her sisters could be said to have tasted all the hardships of the world.
Even after joining the Hellfire Club and having a backer, she still needed to demonstrate her value at all times to receive protection.
In her life, there was no concept of relying on others; from childhood to adulthood, she had always had to rely on herself and her sisters, who were like one.
It was the first time she had heard someone say to her, "Do what you want to do; if you're wrong, it's on me." It felt... not bad?
Taking a deep breath, she stood up with a smile, and while getting dressed, she said: "You are very strong; you have one hundred and twenty-eight abilities, but you don't know what the Hellfire Club signifies."
"Whether it's mutants or humans, the elites of this world are all in the Hellfire Club. To be enemies with the entire world for my sake... do you dare?"
"If you dare, from this day forward, I am yours, the kind that is loyal until death!"
Esme stood in front of Su Quan, her gaze direct, the corners of her mouth raised.
This was a gamble, a gamble on her own future!
"Using reverse psychology, huh..." Su Quan rubbed Esme's golden hair with a strange expression and said with a chuckle: "Do you know why they aren't worried at all about the immunity issue? Because they know that immunity is only useful in this world, and my foundation is not in this world!"
"So... don't even mention being enemies with this world; even if there were a few more worlds, it wouldn't matter."
The raised corners of Esme's mouth froze. If I didn't misunderstand, you mean... there are other worlds?
Su Quan said with a mischievous smile: "I have prepared a gift for you, or rather, for you Cuckoo sisters. Do you want to accept the gift by yourself first, or wait for them to be together?"
