Chapter 434
Lorna glanced at Su Quan in surprise. She wasn't good at this kind of meticulous micro-manipulation, which once again proved that Su Quan was indeed much better than her at manipulating magnetic fields.
Lorna was somewhat unconvinced.
But she was more interested in knowing a question that had been on her mind day and night all this time.
Who exactly is he?
What does it have to do with me or that person?
"Drink!"
Lorna shouted and pushed forward with both hands, causing the bullets she had blocked to quickly return to their original path.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
The sounds of gunfire rang out. Some of the Sentinel Special Services Bureau agents groaned and fell to the ground, some took cover, and others ran around looking for cover.
Jess Turner was shot in the arm, but he felt no fear and gritted his teeth, wanting to keep firing.
"Whoosh—"
His gun flew out, and Lorna used the metallic magnetic field around him to lift him into the air and pull him in front of her.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?" Lorna stared at him and asked coldly.
"Afraid!"
Jess Turner gritted his teeth in pain and said, "But as long as I can eliminate you Mutants who harm society and cause innocent people to be injured and killed, even if I'm afraid, I won't back down!"
"It's you! It's you who are persecuting Mutants!!!" Lorna shouted angrily.
Jess Turner sneered, "How many people have died because of you Mutants?"
Lorna scoffed, "You're next to die!"
After saying that, he brought the gun that Jess Turner controlled to his face, and pointed the black muzzle directly at his forehead.
Is Jess Turner afraid of death?
Afraid.
I'm not afraid.
He didn't want to die because he hadn't avenged his family and fulfilled his long-cherished wish, but he couldn't bring himself to beg the Mutants for mercy!
Lorna was caught in a dilemma by the fearless gaze.
She is not a villain, nor is she a ruthless killer.
In a battle, it's either you die or I live.
No problem!
She couldn't bring herself to kill an unarmed, defenseless person after the victory!
"Cooperation?"
Just as he was hesitating and preparing to die for his cause, Su Quan suddenly spoke.
Jess Turner scoffed, "I will not cooperate with Mutants. Kill me."
Jess Turner's hatred for Mutants ignited Lorna's own hatred, a sinister glint flashing across her cold face as her hand began to twitch slightly.
"Um?"
Lorna looked at Su Quan and made a questioning snort through her nose.
The magnetic field she controlled was forcibly suppressed by another force.
Su Quan ignored Lorna and instead pulled Jess Turner in front of him and put him down.
Immediately afterwards, the light of healing magic shone on Jess Turner's arm.
Lorna was a little confused, Jess Turner was also a little confused.
Jess Turner said in a deep voice, "Don't think that I'll cooperate with you Mutants just because of this."
Su Quan smiled and shook his head, "I actually admire you quite a bit. Just like Mutants fear the Sentinel Special Services Bureau, humans also fear Mutants. Not everyone dares to fight Mutants to the death."
"Rescuing Lorna has put me in a good mood, so I'm taking pity on you and giving you a chance. If you cooperate with me, I might consider reuniting you and your daughter!"
"If you refuse, let's keep things separate. We have different stances, and you're blocking my way, so I can only say goodbye!"
Jess Turner is a hardliner in the Sentinel Special Services Bureau, a tough guy who is daring, capable, and outstanding. With him around, he will definitely ruin my plans to use the Sentinel Special Services Bureau.
Su Quan does indeed admire Jess Turner. His daughter died because of Mutants, and he resents and targets Mutants is perfectly understandable.
But often we don't look at right or wrong, we only look at our stance!
You bastard!
Jess Turner, his eyes bloodshot, launched into a tirade of curses. In his view, Su Quan's investigation of him, using his dead daughter as a pretext, was an insult to him, a betrayal of his spirit!
A person who dies cannot be brought back to life.
Father and daughter reunited?
Do you think I'm stupid?
Su Quan smiled without saying a word, quietly enduring the scolding with an air of 'letting the insults wash their own face'.
Jess Turner's cursing gradually subsided. Seeing Su Quan's indifferent expression, his heart inexplicably clenched, and he had a kind of unbelievable delusion.
"What... what do you mean?" Jess Turner asked somewhat.
"Have you finished cursing?"
Su Quan laughed, "Don't say I'm bullying you, okay, I am! Did you enjoy yelling at me earlier? Now it's my turn..."
Kneel down!
Jess Turner's eyes widened. "What did you say?!"
"Kneel down, and I'll tell you what I mean."
Since you started cursing without asking questions, you'll have to pay the price if you want to understand.
Just because I admire you doesn't mean you can act recklessly!
Jess Turner stared intently at Su Quan, panting heavily, his mind in turmoil.
On the one hand, reason tells him that the dead cannot be brought back to life, and that Su Quan is deliberately using this to toy with him.
On the other hand, his longing and love for his daughter also kept urging him on.
What if it's true?
Mutants all sorts of abilities, anything and everything. What if he could really bring his daughter back to life?
Even if it's fake, even if he's deliberately teasing you, so what? Isn't the hope of reuniting with your daughter worth the risk?
"Thump!"
Jess Turner knelt down.
"Tell me!"
"Can... can you really let me see my daughter and reunite us?"
"Yes, you can!"
Su Quan smiled brightly, "Have you heard of the Phoenix Force?"
Jess Turner shook his head blankly.
"The Phoenix Force is born at the beginning of all things. It is a chaotic yet immortal, Eternity yet impermanent existence. It is the embodiment of the Psychic Power, symbolizing life and emotions."
"It can do many things, such as destroying the universe, traveling through time, and bringing the Deadman back to life."
Jess Turner's eyes lit up instantly. "You, you possess this power?"
"Yes!"
"You can bring my daughter back to life?"
Yes, you can.
"That..."
Before Jess Turner could finish speaking, Su Quan said decisively, "I won't do that. I won't resurrect your daughter."
"You... you're playing me?!"
Jess Turner was so excited that he tried to stand up, but as soon as he did, an invisible force pushed him back down.
"Kneel still. Did I tell you to get up?" Su Quan snorted and continued leisurely, "I won't resurrect your daughter, but I can give you a share of the Phoenix Force."
"What, what do you mean?"
"You can use the Phoenix Force to revive your daughter yourself, or you can find other Mutants to help you!"
"I forgot to tell you, not everyone can withstand the power of the Phoenix Force!"
Su Quan set a trap for Jess Turner!
If Jess Turner chooses to become the Phoenix Apostle, he must first possess Psychic Abilities, because only those with Psychic Abilities are most suited to and can most easily wield the Phoenix Force.
