Chapter 996

In addition, the devil he mentioned was a substitute, referring to the Fenris twins.

Because the actions of the Fenris twins could indeed be called terrorists, and could also be called devils.

"Lauren has a good relationship with me, and their family also escaped to Mexico with the help of me and the underground organization."

Su Quan explained the situation clearly first, to avoid this old man Otto thinking he was a villain.

"Besides..."

Su Quan's eyes instantly lit up with golden light. Otto and Lorna felt the abnormality of their abilities almost at the same time.

"I can also do things like suppressing mutant abilities. I want your research just to draw inferences about other cases. If you are willing to cooperate, I can promise you that your grandson and granddaughter will never become devils lost in power like the previous generation of Fenris twins."

Otto stumbled, his face pale as he muttered: "They... they..."

"Their abilities are exactly the same as the previous generation of Fenris twins," Su Quan knew what he wanted to say.

Otto asked hurriedly: "Have they held hands?"

Su Quan shrugged: "If what you want to know is whether they can erupt with powerful energy after holding hands... yes, they can."

Otto's mindset collapsed a bit. Although his son Reed didn't inherit the devil's bloodline and abilities, it turned out his grandson and granddaughter...

Could it be that this was the inescapable fate of the Strucker family?!

Su Quan looked at him and said: "As long as you are willing to cooperate, I guarantee they won't become the kind of devils you worry about, because even if their abilities combine, they can't beat me."

Otto gradually regained his composure: "You just said you were the one who sent them to Mexico, so you must be able to contact them, right? Let us meet, or talk for a few words, and I will give you the research."

Su Quan looked at him steadily and shook his head: "Your request is easy for me to accomplish. I just need to wave my hand, and their family will appear, but I won't do that."

"Maybe you think I'm here to take things by force, but in fact, I'm here to save you."

In the original plot, after the underground organization discovered Chloe was a spy, Dr. Campbell assumed they already knew what Trask Industries had done, and then brought Pulse and agents to find Otto.

Otto's relationship with the Reed family, plus his resume of having worked at Trask Industries, made him the best breakthrough point if the underground organization wanted to target Trask Industries.

Dr. Campbell guessed right. When he appeared with his team, Reed and John were asking Otto about Trask Industries, and they were caught in the act.

Otto told Reed about the Fenris twins and the suppression of mutant genes, and then, in order to let them escape, he faced Dr. Campbell's search alone, and finally used his ability while staring at Pulse's suppression, blowing up the house.

In the end, Otto died, Reed and John escaped, and Dr. Campbell's face was also burned by the explosion.

Now, although the Reed family had deviated from the main plot, they were still connected to Su Quan and the underground organization, so nine times out of ten, Dr. Campbell would still come to find Otto.

Otto probably wouldn't die, but freedom... don't even think about it.

Dr. Campbell couldn't let the underground organization find him. Even if he judged wrong and the underground organization didn't come to find him, he couldn't take that risk.

I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.

I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

This was Dr. Campbell's attitude when dealing with mutant incidents!

Otto was indifferent, obviously not believing Su Quan's statement, and Su Quan was too lazy to say more.

It was human nature for Otto not to believe him; if it were himself, he wouldn't believe it either.

You want my research, yet you refuse to prove whether you are trustworthy, and then you turn around and say you are saving me—are you treating me like a fool?

But thinking from another angle, even if God feeds you, it's impossible to take the food out, tell you what it is, and then chew it up and feed it to you, right?

Even if the God of Wealth throws gold ingots at your door waiting for you to pick them up, it's impossible for him to open the door himself, prove the gold ingots are real, then put them back, close the door, and tell you I've already proven myself, you can trust me, come out and pick up the money, right?

If you were a beauty, that would be one thing, but as a withered old man, don't dream of such good things.

"Take care of yourself." Su Quan greeted Lorna, turned around, and left the antique shop.

Otto was stunned for a moment, walked quickly to the door, and watched their figures walk further and further away, inexplicably feeling a sense of loss.

They actually left; they didn't want the research?

Otto was surprised, and Lorna was also surprised. She asked Su Quan suspiciously: "His research can suppress mutant genes; we just gave up on such an important thing?"

Su Quan rubbed Lorna's green hair and said with a smile: "Already got it."

The dissatisfied Lorna was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Got it? When... I understand, psychic ability?"

Su Quan nodded. He not only got the research content on suppressing mutant genes but also Otto's ability.

Otto's ability was somewhat similar to Little Long Long's energy bombs; both used the energy generated in the body to explode, but he couldn't throw the energy bombs out, but rather... he himself was the bomb.

A human bomb, self-destructing directly.

However, he could be immune to the damage caused by his own explosion. In the original plot, he died after being shot, and then he exploded.

After the explosion, the antique shop was completely ruined, but his body was intact, not even his clothes were broken!

Reed's ability was also somewhat similar; his body could generate high temperatures like magma and trigger explosions, but it was unknown whether it was due to the ability itself or because he had suppressed his ability for a long time, leading to ability disorder, but he couldn't be immune to his own explosion damage.

He was a real self-destruct!

"Since we've already got it, let's go back quickly. Let's go back and let Sage and the others see if this research can really suppress mutant genes. If it's true, can it be cracked or immunized?"

Lorna was impatient; for her, this was a matter of life and death for mutants!
