Chapter 194
Looking at Su Quan standing in front of her, Laurel Lance shouted with surprise, stepped off the ground barefoot, hugged his neck tightly, and threw herself into his arms.
"I'm so glad you're alright. I was worried about you—where's Sara? Where is she?" Laurel Lance looked up at Su Quan with hope.
Su Quan shook his head.
Laurel Lance's heart skipped a beat; a bad premonition was already washing over her.
"What does shaking your head mean? Haven't they found her yet, or has she already—"
Su Quan cupped Laurel Lance's face, wiped away the tears that had fallen from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Don't worry, Sara isn't dead, and she's fine. It's just that she might not be able to come back for a while."
"Why?"
Why can't she come back?
"Are you... are you lying to me? Are you just trying to comfort me?" Laurel Lance asked in disbelief.
Su Quan held her hand and sat down on the edge of the bed, earnestly recounting the events of the shipwreck and how Sara was subsequently sent to the League of Assassins.
Laurel Lance listened with skepticism, her face full of doubt and confusion.
Su Quan's statements contain too many inexplicable circumstances, such as his knowledge of Sara's orders or future, that joining the League of Assassins was a turning point in her destiny, and that she would become a hero who saves the world.
For example, he wasn't found and brought back by the search and rescue team, but was directly teleported back!
Precognition? Teleportation?
This is simply a fantasy!
"I know you don't believe me, but don't worry, I've already notified your father. He'll be home in two minutes, oh, one and a half minutes. We'll talk then!" Su Quan said with a smile.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment, Laurel Lance stared at the clock almost every second.
A minute and a half later, the sound of heavy footsteps rang out, and then the door to the room was suddenly pushed open forcefully.
"Dad," Laurel Lance exclaimed in surprise.
Quentin Lance did not respond. He drew his gun, stared intently at Su Quan, and walked over.
"The person speaking in my head is you!"
Su Quan smiled without saying a word, but his voice echoed in Quentin Lance's mind.
"It's me."
Quentin Lance's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't care what tricks you used, I just want to know how Sara is, where she is!"
"Tell me right now, or else—" Quentin Lance raised his gun.
Before the gun could even be aimed at Su Quan, Quentin Lance felt his hand holding the gun suddenly lose control, and then the gun suddenly flew into Su Quan's hand with a whoosh.
Su Quan smiled slightly at him, and the gun in his hand was instantly crushed into powder, scattering all over the ground.
"Otherwise—what?"
"Hiss—" Quentin Lance and Laurel Lance gasped instinctively as they looked at the pistol crushed into powder on the ground.
Good heavens!
I exclaimed, "Wow!"
Being able to crush a gun into powder with just your hands is definitely not something that can be done simply by being strong.
This guy—
Quentin Lance calmed down. He already knew that Su Quan was the owner of the bookstore where his eldest daughter Laurel worked, and that both his eldest daughter Laurel and his youngest daughter Sara had feelings for this boy.
But now it seems that this guy is more than just a bookstore owner.
"Where is Sara!" Quentin Lance was most concerned about his youngest daughter's condition.
Not long ago, while he was waiting for news from the rescue team at the Queen Family, a voice suddenly appeared in his head saying that it knew about Sara's situation and told him to go home immediately.
At first, he thought he was hallucinating because he was too anxious and worried, but he couldn't care less. He thought it was better to believe it than not, just in case it was real!
So he hurriedly returned home.
Now it seems that it might indeed be true!
"Didn't you say you'd tell us all at once when my dad got back? He's back now! Tell us quickly, how is Sara doing? Are the things you just said true or not?"
Laurel Lance grabbed Su Quan's arm and urged him on.
Quentin Lance glanced at it with a grim expression, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately remained silent.
Su Quan briefly recounted the situation, and then, without waiting for Quentin Lance to ask any questions, he used his Psychic Abilities to connect his mind, or rather, his Mind Stone, with Laurel's, and Sara's, who had just arrived at the League of Assassins headquarters aboard the League of Assassins' ship.
Su Quan called out Sara's name, and his voice echoed in the minds of everyone connected.
"Su Quan?" Sara's voice rang out.
"It's me!"
Sara, are you alright?
"Sara, it's Dad, where are you?"
Quentin Lance and Laurel's voices rang out almost simultaneously. Sharon from the League of Assassins was taken aback at first, then excitedly responded and started chatting with them.
This was a way of connecting them on Mind Stone. The three of them chatted happily, asking each other all sorts of questions. Su Quan would occasionally reply, but most of the time he would just lurk and watch.
For Su Quan, Sara going to the League of Assassins is different from going to the League of Assassins in the original storyline!
In the original storyline, Sara joined the League of Assassins to survive and gain power. However, due to the League of Assassins's strength, she dared not tell her family that she was still alive!
So for Sara, Laurel, and Quentin, it was a tragedy, a tragedy that would affect their entire lives.
But now that Su Quan has intervened, there's no need to make it seem like a life-or-death separation. Just treat it as Sara going abroad to study!
With Sara's talent and the destiny she symbolizes, or to exaggerate, the destiny she is born with, she will graduate from the League of Assassins in two or three years.
Mind Stone chat group lasted for about half an hour. After they said goodbye to each other, Su Quan disbanded it.
"How... how did you do that?" Laurel believed that Su Quan truly possessed extraordinary abilities.
Su Quan shrugged. "There are many more extraordinary beings in this world, and there will be more and more in the future."
Laurel exclaimed in amazement, "So you really can predict the future? Sara will really become a hero who saves the world?"
"So you mean, you knew our fate the first time you met Sara and me, and you also knew that Sara would be shipwrecked if she went on the ship with you? What would have happened if you hadn't invited her, or if she hadn't gone on the ship?"
Su Quan smiled and said, "Fate can be changed, otherwise what would be the point of my existence?"
"What about me? What is my destiny?" Laurel asked curiously. "Sara can save the world, so I can't be any worse than her, can I?"
Laurel Lance's performance was indeed no worse Sara's. Unlike Sara, who was mentored by the League of Assassins, she was originally just a lawyer, but she still became Black Canary.
Unfortunately, she was eventually murdered by Damian Dark.
Although the Siren of Earth-2, who is her Doppelganger, and the newly redeemed Black Canary Dina Drake had the opportunity to replace her, it was only a chance!
If Su Quan were to choose the three most beautiful women in Green Arrow, he would choose: Laurel Lance, Thea Queen, and Mia Smoak, the daughter of Oliver Queen and Felicity in some uncertain future timeline.
If I had to pick just one character whose fate I find most heartbreaking, it would definitely be Laurel, the Black Canary!
"Why are you looking at me with that regretful look?" Laurel suddenly felt nervous...
Su Quan smiled and turned to Quentin Lance: "Seven or eight years from now, you will be shot and killed, but it doesn't matter. After Sara saves the Earth, the Multiverse will restart, and you will be alive and continue to be your mayor."
Will I die in seven or eight years?
Sara saves the world?
Multiverse reboot?
I'll live, and I'll still be mayor?!
Forget everything else, what's with me becoming mayor? I'm just a regular police detective, how could I possibly become mayor? I have absolutely no intention of becoming mayor!
Laurel glanced at her father with concern and analyzed, "If Sara doesn't join the League of Assassins, she won't become a hero, she won't be able to save the world, and she won't be able to save— Dad?"
Su Quan nodded. "This is cause and effect."
"Am I... am I dead too?" Laurel suddenly asked.
Su Quan shook his head. "Not anymore."
You don't know it anymore, so you mean you used to?
"In short, I told you the truth about fate because I didn't want you and Sara to be sad. I'll arrange for you to chat or meet up regularly when I have time."
"It's getting late, I'm going back to rest. See you tomorrow."
"Oh, see you tomorrow."
Su Quan got up and vanished into thin air with a whoosh.
Laurel and Quentin Lance looked at each other, speechless for a moment. Too much had happened today, and they needed time to process it all.
Quentin Lance originally wanted Laurel to stop contacting Su Quan. It was obvious that Laurel liked Su Quan, and Sara —needless to say, would she have boarded the ship with Su Quan if she didn't like her?
Quentin Lance, as a father, has mixed feelings about his two daughters falling in love with the same man!
However, Laurel will die.
