Chapter 447

For example, let's talk about the Sentinel Special Services Bureau.

Why didn't Su Quan destroy it directly?

Because his purpose in coming to this world was not to destroy the Sentinel Special Services Bureau, nor to save all the Mutants, but to recruit manpower for the White Queen.

Without the pressure from the Sentinel Special Services Bureau, why would Mutants abandon their families and go to another world with you? Why would they work for you and risk their lives for you?

Without darkness, how can there be light?

With nimble legs and free movement, who the hell would use a cane?

Chloe and Jess Turner are not the same.

Su Quan could resurrect Jess Turner's daughter because he could provide information about Mutants through the Sentinel Special Services Bureau.

His personal talents are also outstanding. At the same time, whether he becomes Mutants himself or seeks help from Mutants, he will ultimately end up working for himself.

What about Chloe?

Her mind has already collapsed. Even if we heal her, it will just be another speedster.

Su Quan is Speed Force, and he has no shortage of speedsters.

His silence revealed the answer to everyone.

Lorna scoffed coldly, "We can't save her, but we can destroy Hound Program so that more Mutants won't have to suffer like this."

"Lorna is right, we must stop Hound Program!" John agreed.

The others nodded in agreement.

Even if it weren't for Chloe, and even without this spying incident, their target would still be Hound Program.

However, they have been busy sending Mutants in need to the Void Island, which is why they haven't taken any action.

Clarice found a place for Esme to rest, and then went with Sonia and John to settle the Mutants they had brought back.

Lorna watched them leave, then turned to Su Quan and asked, "Is there something wrong with her?"

The question was a bit abrupt, but Su Quan and Xian Zhe, who hadn't left, both knew who Lorna was referring to.

Su Quan chuckled and said, "It's not just problematic, it's completely problematic!"

Lorna rolled her eyes and said, "I know you have Psychic Abilities too. Since you didn't give any indication, I thought you didn't want to help. Then I realized you'd been watching Esme the whole time."

Is Esme pretty?

Pretty.

Is Su Quan a womanizer?

Heartbreaker.

However, Su Quan's gaze towards Esme was strange; it lacked any aggressive urgency upon learning the truth, instead displaying a detached, playful quality.

That look in his eyes was like saying: Come on, let your performance begin!

Xian Zhe nodded in agreement. She had only suspected Esme of having a problem because she noticed that Su Quan had been watching Esme.

Su Quan is not the kind of man who would "meet one person and grow old together, choose one person to spend his life with." His relationship with Sonia is common knowledge, and everyone also knows that he likes Lorna, while Clarice likes him.

But whether it was Lorna or Clarice, he didn't rush to do anything; they always interacted normally and quietly.

Esme is beautiful, but not quite to the point of surpassing Lorna, Sonia, and Clarice.

Su Quan kept staring at her, and it certainly wasn't because she was pretty!

Su Quan explained with a slight smile, "Esme's Psychic Abilities are stronger than she has shown."

The Xian Zhe said, "Is she deliberately hiding her true abilities? Is it a conspiracy or just a habit?"

Su Quan shook his head. "It's neither a habit nor a conspiracy. She's hiding her abilities because she's afraid we'll become wary of her."

Lorna frowned and asked, "Do you know what she's trying to do?"

Su Quan shrugged with a smile, "Believe me, I know you as well as I know her. Her purpose in infiltrating the organization was for you!"

Lorna looked on in surprise. "You mean she came here for me?"

Su Quan asked with a smile, "Do you know about the Hellfire Club?"

"I've heard from the people of Void Island that the White Queen and the Red Devil were once members of the Hellfire Club, and you've used the name Hellfire Club in other worlds as well."

As they were talking, Lorna suddenly realized, "Wait, our world has Hellfire Club now? Esme is related to the Hellfire Club?"

Su Quan nodded and said, "Esme is from the Hellfire Club. She also has two twin sisters named Sophie and Phoebe, who are currently being held in the Sentinel Special Services Bureau's detention center."

Lorna suddenly realized. "She infiltrated here hoping to use our help to save her sister?"

"Yes and no!"

"You're being spoken to in riddles! Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?" Lorna was getting impatient.

Su Quan laughed and said, "Sophie and Phoebe were deliberately captured so that Esme would have a reason to make us take action against the Sentinel Special Services Bureau and Hound Program, thereby... winning you over!"

Su Quan and Esme's goals are somewhat aligned: to use the Sentinel Special Services Bureau to combat Mutant Underground Organization, then help them and turn them into their own side.

Su Quan represents the Void Island, Esme represents the Hellfire Club.

The two had the same goal, but their plans differed.

Esme's plan is to become a member of the Mutant Underground Organization, gain their trust, and then influence the organization's decisions at crucial moments.

Su Quan, on the other hand, had a plan from the beginning that was to usurp power and become the leader of the Mutant Underground Organization.

Influencing organizational decision-making?

Ha—my idea is the organization's decision!

"You mean Esme encouraged us to confront the Sentinel Special Services Bureau in order to recruit me into the Hellfire Club?"

"Right."

Lorna was puzzled. What did confronting the Sentinel Special Services Bureau have to do with her joining the Hellfire Club?

When that time comes, she will definitely stand with the underground organization. How could she possibly abandon everyone and run off to join the Hellfire Club?

"Lorna, you're blinded by your own involvement," Xian Zhe said thoughtfully. "With Su Quan around, we won't suffer any casualties against the Sentinel Special Services Bureau. But what if Su Quan isn't there?"

"We will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the organization will fall apart. When that happens, Esme will invite you to join the Hellfire Club. For the sake of the remaining people, will you join?"

Lorna was silent for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know, maybe... maybe."

Xian Zhe thought of something and joked with a smile, "Actually, I think Esme's current target may not be Lorna, but rather you."

Su Quan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "You're right, it really could be me."

Esme's plan must have been implemented before Su Quan was wanted, because with Su Quan around, the underground organization couldn't have suffered heavy casualties, and Esme would naturally have no reason to recruit Lorna into the Hellfire Club.

The Hellfire Club has been plotting to fight against ordinary humans, but unlike the members of the underground base, they often use methods that are more brutal and extreme.

Esme's mission is to forge alliances between historically renowned Mutants families and the Club, such as Lorna, whose father Magneto was once a member of the Club.

For example, Andy and Lauren, who are currently out of the storyline, are the new generation of Fenris Twins in the family.

Although the plan to win over Lorna failed at the very beginning, Esme certainly wouldn't give up, after all, Sophie and Phoebe were still being held by the Sentinel Special Services Bureau.

Su Quan is now basically in charge of the underground organization. While it's not exactly a one-man show, he has a veto right over any action.

Esme wants to save others, but he has to take care of himself first.

Hehehe, I'm starting to look forward to it.

"I'll handle Esme's matter. You guys collect relevant information about Trask Industries. Oh, and you can find someone named Otto."

"He is Reed Strucker's father, and also Mutants. He used to work for the Trask Industries and has a lot of useful information."

Otto and Reed have a very bad relationship and haven't seen each other for many years. Using information about Reed and Lauren should yield a lot of information.

Su Quan was somewhat interested in his method of suppressing the Reed Mutant Gene.

After giving a few instructions, Su Quan prepared to go and talk to Jess Turner. After thinking about it for so long, he should have an answer by now, right?

Sentinel Special Services Bureau Headquarters, First Action Team Leader's Office.

Su Quan's sudden appearance startled Jess Turner, who was engrossed in his work. His first reaction was to get up and lock the door.

"Click".

Jess Turner, who had locked the door, breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice with displeasure, "What are you doing here? This is the headquarters of the Sentinel Special Services Bureau."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Su Quan looked at him and asked with a sneer.

Jess Turner's expression froze, and he slowly shook his head, saying, "That's not what I meant, it's just... this is the headquarters of the Sentinel Special Services Bureau."

"So what? It's not like this is my first time here."

Well, other Mutants might see this place as a den of wolves and tigers.

But for Su Quan, this place is probably no different from any other coffee shop on the street that he can come and go as he pleases.

Once Jess Turner adjusted his attitude, Su Quan stopped pressuring him and went straight to the point. "Have you made your decision?"

Which is more important, one's stance or one's daughter?
