Chapter 423

Su Quan's expression was somewhat strange. This invitation clearly couldn't be because she had fallen for him; it must be...

Does she think I'm sick?

To put it mildly, she thinks I'm mentally unstable?

Hmm, thinking back on what I just said, it does seem a bit mystical.

I was just a little excited and thrilled, after all, there are several people in this world that I'm interested in.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

People have a thousand faces, and there's always a crazy side to them. When I'm in a good mood, can't I just do whatever I want?

Besides, didn't she hear her tell him to go with her? If it were her usual serious self, how could she dare to do that?

"Someone's coming."

Where?

Clarice frantically waved to Su Quan: "Quick... we have to run... remember, whatever you do, whatever you do, don't get caught by the police, otherwise..."

"Bang!"

A loud crash interrupted her; it sounded like something heavy had hit the ground.

"Run!"

Clarice shouted and looked around for other ways to escape.

A man and a woman walked in.

Upon seeing Clarice trying to escape, Clarice quickly raised her hands to show that she meant no harm.

"Don't be nervous, we just want to talk."

"Bang!"

Clarice picked up the glass bottle from the ground and threw it at the man. He reacted quickly by ducking, and the glass bottle shattered on the ground.

"Wait, I..."

"Bang!"

Another glass bottle was thrown at me.

See? This is how Clarice reacts to strangers. She's like a hedgehog; whether they're kind or malicious, she'll prick you if you get too close!

If Su Quan hadn't demonstrated his abilities and hadn't acted so strangely, these glass bottles would probably have been used to smash him long ago, instead of breaking only now.

There was only one glass bottle left, and Clarice held it in her hand, not throwing it.

"Calm down," a woman with long, straight black hair and wearing a jacket said to her with a smile.

"Are you in cahoots with the police?" Clarice didn't put down the glass bottle, nor did she lower her guard.

"We're not police officers, and we're not with them," the man explained. "We heard you escaped from the Mutants detention center, so we came looking for you."

Clarice shook her head, somewhat bewildered. "I don't understand, who are you?"

"Call out--"

A metal pipe on the ground behind Clarice swept past her and landed in the hand of the girl in the jacket.

A faint green Magneto-kinesis glow swayed gently in her hand.

"Just like you, a bunch of freaks." The girl in the jacket raised the corners of her mouth, somewhat arrogant.

They are Mutants!

Clarice breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her hand.

"My name is John James Rhodes, you can call me John." The man breathed a sigh of relief and introduced her with a smile, "Her name is Lorna Dane, you can call her Lorna."

"I...I'm Clarice, Clarice Fang!"

"My friend's name is Su Quan."

John and Lorna were taken aback by what they heard, and instinctively looked around. There was no one else there but them.

Clarice looked up, and they looked up too, and then... froze.

Someone is in mid-air!

A knife is in mid-air!

No, there's someone sitting on a knife floating in mid-air!

How is that possible?

Neither John nor Lorna noticed this person!

John, in particular, is best at searching and tracking; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find this place so accurately just by knowing Clarice's whereabouts.

But he didn't sense the person's presence at all!

"Hey, why are you hiding and not talking?" Lorna called out curiously.

Hello, Miss Polaris.

Su Quan smiled brightly and said with a chuckle, "The doctor said I have Low Blood Sugar and need a few sweet words."

???

Lorna's eyes widened slightly, and she smiled as she said to Clarice, "Your friend... is quite interesting..."

Clarice grinned. What could I say? I was helpless too.

"Call out--"

Su Quan leaped off the knife and landed in front of Lorna.

They were so close, their eyes met.

Lorna's gaze was sharp and aggressive, conveying a strong sense of relentless advance.

Su Quan waved his hand, and the silver longsword in mid-air flew down with a whoosh, blowing Lorna's hair.

She didn't even blink.

Su Quan, leaning on his knife, said with a smile, "I like you!"

"Unfortunately, you're not my type."

Lorna glanced down at his knife, then smiled and reached behind her.

"Buzz—"

Green Magneto-kinesis flashed, and the silver longsword remained motionless in Su Quan's hand.

Lorna's expression changed; she strengthened the magnetic field and tugged again.

The silver longsword remained unmoved.

"Impossible... this knife of yours..."

"There is no standard of aesthetics; what I love is high-class."

Su Quan slowly raised his hand, and a ball of identical green Magneto-kinesis lit up. Immediately afterward, the metallic magnetic field on Lorna's body was completely controlled, pulling her directly in front of Su Quan.

It's really within reach!

Seeing her shocked expression, Su Quan smiled and asked, "Now? Am I your type?"

PS: Here's a flashing image first.

Magneto-kinesis can manifest in two colors: blue and green.

Polaris, also known as Lorna, has a green Magneto-kinesis, which is the same color as her real hair.

Her abilities had already diminished when she tried to control the silver longsword.

Incidentally, Clarice also gained abilities when she hit John with the glass bottle: teleportation and Super Strength.

Despite having similar abilities, Lorna was far inferior to her father. She couldn't control the Earth's magnetic field, couldn't release Magneto-kinesis field, and her flight was precarious, making her only a source of amusement.

Even with metal, we can only control its size and weight; things like moving a stadium or flying a bridge are simply impossible.

As for comparing him to Su Quan...

Su Quan not only has her own abilities, but also three 'Magneto' on top of that. How can she compare?

It's no exaggeration to say that when it comes to the ability to Control Magnetic Field, Su Quan is second to none!

Lorna was Su Quan's deliberate use of green Magneto-kinesis to turn the tables on her, leaving her speechless.

Her astonished gaze gradually sharpened as they locked eyes. Her breath sweet as orchids wafted from her lips, and she coldly demanded, "What's your relationship with him?!"

Does "he" refer to Magneto?

Su Quan shook his head. "It's alright."

Lorna frowned. "Do you know who I'm talking about?"

Su Quan shrugged noncommittally. "Who else could it be for you? It must be Magneto."
