Chapter 140

Secondly, Barbara said that she is a top scientist and that her side needs someone with the relevant capabilities to be in charge, whether it is receiving underwater technology or cultivating Kryptonians.

Finally, apart from Barbara, he has not accepted any other people's wishes. Only when more and more people make wishes to him can he use the Wish Power to transform Barbara into the complete Cheetah and make the Wish Power stronger.

With Su Quan's permission, the dinner was arranged at Veronica Cale's estate.

Noon.

Cale Manor.

Veronica Cale deliberately avoided her usual professional and capable attire, instead changing into a tight-fitting red dress paired with black stockings that she usually disdained.

"Veronica."

Barbara's voice sounded behind her. Veronica Cale turned around in surprise and saw Barbara and a young Asian man walk out of a golden door that appeared out of nowhere.

She could clearly see that the other side of the door seemed to be Barbara's office.

"This is my good friend Veronica." Barbara introduced Su Quan to her first, and then said to Veronica, "This is my current boss, Su Quan."

"Hello, I'm Veronica Cale. Thank you so much for agreeing to meet me." Veronica Cale suppressed her shock and quickly bowed and reached out to greet her.

Su Quan didn't shake her hand, but patted Barbara next to him and said with a smile, "The person you should thank is her."

Veronica Cale, without changing her expression, changed the hand she was about to shake into an invitation, and echoed, "I really have to thank Barbara. Without Barbara's introduction, I would never have had the opportunity to meet someone like you."

"No, it can't be called a person, it should be a deity."

As Veronica Cale spoke, she led the two to the restaurant.

The luxurious dining table was now laden with all sorts of dishes; just by looking at the ingredients and the way the dishes were presented, one could tell that this meal must have cost a fortune.

Su Quan was seated at the head of the table by Veronica Cale, who sat on either side of Barbara.

However, she did not sit down directly, nor did anyone call for help. Instead, she took on the role of a server herself, introducing the dishes and pouring drinks for them without any embarrassment or discomfort.

Based on this alone, Su Quan was already quite optimistic about her.

The identities of scientist and businessman are actually contradictory. The former is devoted to research, not good at talking, and even less good at controlling emotions, while the latter is smooth and worldly. They may not be solely driven by profit, but they are certainly not pure either.

Veronica Cale seems to be very successful as a businesswoman, but I wonder what will happen to her as a scientist. I hope she won't disappoint me.

"Sit down, and tell me what you wish for?"

P. S.: There are still some loose ends to be set up or explained at this point in time, and then we can move on to the main storyline of Justice League. I particularly like to write books according to the timeline, which means that sometimes I know there are many familiar plots that I could write, but I have to postpone them due to time constraints.

I'm really frustrated myself. Next time I start a book, I definitely won't follow the official timeline.

Veronica Cale sat down, glanced at Barbara, composed herself, and told Su Quan her wish.

I want a daughter!

???

Your wish is to have a daughter? What kind of tactic is this?!

Su Quan thought that her wish might be to have great power like Barbara, or to live forever. After all, she was very rich, and it's reasonable for rich people to want to live forever.

But wishing for a daughter—that's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?

"Veronica, you—you can't have children? I mean, you can't get pregnant?" Before Su Quan could even speak, Barbara was shocked by her best friend's juicy gossip.

Veronica Cale couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, explaining irritably, "There's nothing wrong with my body."

"Then why did you make such a wish? Didn't I tell you? Everyone only has one chance to make a wish. If you want a daughter, just find a boyfriend, have more children, and you'll definitely have a daughter," Barbara advised.

Veronica Cale shook her head. "Why should I have to find a man if I want a daughter? That's not fair, and I don't even like most men!"

Do you think I'm successful?

"Certainly!"

Barbara nodded and said, "You are very beautiful, a smart scientist, and very rich. Many people have heard of Cale Pharmaceuticals."

"You've done charity work and helped many people, so of course you're successful!"

Veronica Kyle couldn't help but sneer, "But I earned all of this myself, starting from scratch. Do you know Bruce Wayne of Gotham Wayne Enterprises?"

Barbara nodded. "I've heard of it."

"Bruce Wayne inherited a large fortune after his parents were accidentally shot and killed, and he lives a successful life that everyone envies. And what about me?"

"My mother was a dancer, yes, that kind of dancer, and my father was a scumbag, a bastard, who ran away after my mother got pregnant with me."

"Through my intelligence and courage, I climbed into high society step by step and achieved so-called success!"

"And then—the word 'success' is shared with most people who acquire wealth through their parents or others."

"Such success makes me laugh."

"Uh—" Barbara frowned and asked hesitantly, "But what does this have to do with your wish for a daughter?"

Veronica Cale took a deep breath and explained with some melancholy, "Because I earned all of this through my own hard work, I don't want to give it away to any man. I want a daughter to inherit everything I have."

"So I will not have a daughter with someone else, nor will I adopt someone else's daughter. I want a daughter of my own."

Barbara blinked, suddenly wondering if her best friend had some kind of mental problem? How come she never thought her friend was so... dramatic before?

She meant she didn't want to be with any other man, didn't want to have anything to do with any man, but still wanted a daughter of her own?

How on earth can a girl be born like this?

Shall we make one out of clay?

Veronica Cale doesn't think there's anything wrong with herself; it's precisely because this is difficult to achieve that one needs to make a wish!

"Is this wish possible?" She looked at Su Quan, who had remained calm and composed ever since she expressed her wish.

Su Quan nodded calmly. So what if he doesn't want to find a man and still wants a daughter of his own? It's no big deal!

What?

You say even a skilled cook can't cook without rice?

This is definitely the case under normal circumstances, since one person cannot have a child.

But don't forget, why did Su Quan meet with her in the first place?

Is it because she can box?

Of course not!

It's because she's a scientist, and she needs someone to oversee the cultivation of Kryptonians!

Doesn't she want a daughter? Simple, just use her genes to breed a Kryptonians daughter.

Just like the Superboy, Kon-El, he is a genetic clone of Clark Kent and Lex Luthor.

Cloning and breeding can be said to be the same but also different. But regardless of whether they are the same or different, by using the Life Core Codex and the Life Support Pods, plus Veronica Cale's genes, it is certain that she can have a daughter of her own bloodline under such demanding conditions!

"Really? It's true?" Veronica Cale hesitated. Was this person's wish-granting ability really that strong? Could such an unscientific wish really come true?

"No, this is scientific!"

Su Quan shook his head at her. Veronica Cale paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "You... you know what I'm thinking?"

Su Quan smiled without saying a word. He needed to know if Veronica Cale had the ability to oversee the cultivation of Kryptonians, which was why he used his Psychic Abilities to check...

Veronica Cale is indeed quite capable in scientific research. Her research findings are in human biology; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to make a fortune and become a female tycoon by running a pharmaceutical factory.

Given her relevant expertise, although she might need some time to catch up on Krypton technology due to the limitations of the times, overall, she should be able to handle the task of training Kryptonians without any problems.

No, they might not even need tutoring!

We could simply let her wish to master the technology of cultivating Kryptonians as soon as possible, so that we could get started immediately and I could also take something from her.

For example, like Barbara, take away her 'betrayal'.

"Let's eat. After we finish, I'll take you to a place where your wishes can come true."

"A place where my wishes can come true?" Veronica Cale was stunned and looked at Barbara: "This, this is not what you said. Didn't you say that I could make a wish as long as I touched him? You didn't say where I had to go."

Barbara shrugged. "It's your wish, you decide for yourself."

"I—can I know where to go?" Veronica Cale looked at Su Quan again, trying to get more information.

Su Quan glanced at her but didn't say anything, and slowly began to eat.

Veronica Cale hesitated, but ultimately did not press the matter.

She didn't witness Su Quan's ability to make wishes firsthand, but Barbara's transformation was genuine, and the Teleportation Portal they encountered when they arrived was also real.

If she still wants her wish to come true, she has no choice but to believe!

Half an hour later, Veronica Cale finally finished her lunch, which felt like chewing wax.

Barbara was very satisfied with her meal, as was Su Quan.

He wiped his mouth with a napkin and reminded Veronica Cale, "You'd better change into something warmer; it's going to be cold where we're going."

"Where are we going?" Barbara asked curiously.

Veronica Cale listened intently.
