Chapter 448

Jess Turner has pondered this question for a long time and has already found an answer.

However, the bureau has been very busy lately, and there's a shortage of manpower everywhere. The decision to betray one's position is also very difficult, so I haven't taken the initiative to contact Su Quan. It's kind of like burying my head in the sand and deceiving myself...

Now that the time has come, there's no point in hesitating anymore.

Jess Turner took a deep breath and said firmly, "As long as you're not lying to me, my life is yours from now on."

Su Quan patted his shoulder and said calmly, "You're just the captain of the action team. What you can do, others can do too. I chose you because I admire you, not because I can't do without you. Don't overestimate yourself."

Jess Turner nodded. "I understand."

"Have you thought it through? Do you want to become Mutants, or seek help from Mutants?" Su Quan was very curious about his choice.

Jess Turner had already made his decision and said without much hesitation, "I choose to become Mutants, but... I have one condition."

This choice did not disappoint Su Quan. He smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood right now. I'll give you a chance. Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Jess Turner looked into Su Quan's eyes and said, word by word, "If the experiment fails and I die, I beg you, resurrect my daughter."

"Grace, right?"

Hearing Su Quan mention his daughter's name, Jess Turner felt much more at ease.

"Yes, her name is Grace, and she is my everything." Jess Turner nodded emphatically.

Su Quan teased, "Aren't you afraid Paula will make you kneel on a keyboard if you say that?"

Jess Turner stared in astonishment, his eyes wide. He hadn't expected Su Quan to joke with him, much less that Su Quan knew his wife's name.

He forced an awkward smile and then asked, "When will you schedule me for the modification experiment?"

"What ever."

Jess Turner thought for a moment, "How about a week later? The department has been very busy lately, and I... I'd like to take a few more days to spend with Paula."

In his view, the success rate and safety of such experiments that transform humans into Mutants are certainly not as high as Su Quan claimed.

He was willing to take risks for his daughter, even if... he would die!

P. S.: My book reviews keep getting automatically deleted, which makes me a little afraid to reply, for fear that if I bump the comments up, the post will be deleted during the system's review.

Seeing is believing, and since Jess Turner was already prepared to die, Su Quan didn't bother to waste words trying to reassure him.

"I'll come pick you up in a week."

"Good."

Jess Turner nodded.

Su Quan was expected to leave after they finished discussing business. After all, this was the headquarters of the Sentinel Special Services Bureau. If it were discovered that he had been in contact with him, Su Quan's job would be in jeopardy, and he would also lose what he had worked so hard to obtain.

However...

Su Quan did not leave. Instead, he changed the subject and started talking about the prisoners held by the Sentinel Special Services Bureau.

Jess Turner immediately understood; they wanted to save someone.

The change in his status made him somewhat uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and asked directly, "Who are you looking for?"

"One is named Sophie, and the other is named Phoebe. They look exactly alike and have the same Mind Stone abilities."

"They also have a sister named Esme, who has just infiltrated the Mutant Underground Organization. The three sisters are collectively known as the Multiple Man and are members of the Mutants organization Hellfire Club."

Jess Turner had heard of the Hellfire Club, but knew little about it, only that it was a deeply hidden organization with close ties to many important figures.

On the contrary, he happened to know where Sophie and Phoebe were locked up.

After telling Su Quan the location of the detention center, he said seriously, "The detention center has a very high level of defense. If you want to rescue them, it's best not to attack it directly. I'll find a reason to take them out of the detention center, and you can make your move on the way."

Su Quan shook his head with a smile, "Who said I was going to save them? Esme has ulterior motives. Her purpose in infiltrating the underground organization is to use it to rescue them and make the underground organization go to war with you."

Jess Turner was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "You want to lock them up?"

Is this "locked up to death" the kind of "locked up to death," or the kind of "locked up and killed"?

Su Quan shook his head and said, "As long as they are not taken out, it will be fine, especially Dr. Campbell's Trask Industries."

Jess Turner frowned. "Without a proper reason, it would be difficult for me to stop Dr. Campbell."

Trask Industries was a partner of the Sentinel Special Services Bureau, and if there were orders from above, Jess Turner, the team leader, couldn't stop them without a valid reason.

It doesn't matter if you can't stop them; just give them advance notice and abduct them halfway.

Su Quan's goal was simple: to prevent Sophie and Phoebe from joining Esme, forcing Esme to stay in the underground organization and try every means to please him.

High-level hunters often appear as prey.

Esme wanted to recruit Lorna and the underground organization into the Hellfire Club, and Su Quan also wanted her and the three sisters to join his faction.

Hellfire Club can give them, I can give them too, and even more.

Esme, Sophie, and Phoebe, when you escaped from the lab, Celeste and Maddy, who were being held hostage, were killed.

If you follow me, I will reunite you five sisters.

Besides...

Do you want a mother or not? Just say the word and I'll bring her to you right away!

If one mother isn't enough, then two will do!

Besides, what kind of organization is the Hellfire Club that you follow?

If I remember correctly, later a sonic Mutants named Reva killed all the members in the inner circle who were not of his faction and took control of the club.

Who does she think she is?

Can she represent the Hellfire Club?

When it comes to the legitimacy of the Hellfire Club, who can compare to your mother, the White Queen?

As legitimate second-generation club members, instead of following their orthodox mother, they follow a nobody who rose to power by eliminating dissidents. Don't you feel any remorse for your filial piety?

Let's get back to the main topic.

Besides the artificial Mutants and the Multiple Man sisters, Su Quan had another purpose in coming to see Jess Turner this time: to find out who killed Clarice's adoptive parents!

Although it is the Sentinel Special Services Bureau's duty to deal with Mutants and humans who help Mutants, Su Quan is not here to reason with them; he is here to support Clarice!

Jess Turner said a name, Su Quan laughed as soon as he heard it.

Herbert, the captain of the second action team.

Tsk tsk, an acquaintance.

Su Quan gave Jess Turner a few more instructions, arranged a time and place to meet a week later, and then Teleportation back to the underground organization's base.

Esme, who appears harmless and understanding, is chatting with Clarice. Her previous behavior has earned Clarice's initial trust, and she has learned a lot of non-confidential information during the conversation, especially about Su Quan.

The Xian Zhe's analysis was correct; Esme has changed his target.

Although Lorna's father is Magneto, and she is the leader of an underground organization, Su Quan is even more formidable. Without getting to Su Quan, even if she wins over Lorna and many other people, it will be useless!

"Call out--"

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out, and Su Quan appeared out of thin air in front of the two of them.

Clarice nodded to Su Quan and casually asked, "You went out?"

Su Quan nodded and said with a smile, "I went to the headquarters of the Sentinel Special Services Bureau and found out who killed your adoptive parents."

Clarice was taken aback, her gaze sharpening as she asked, "Who is it!"

"Herbert, the captain of the second action team."

Clarice murmured the name, let out a long breath, and stood up, asking, "Where is he?"

"I'll take you there."

"Good."

After saying that, Clarice took Su Quan's arm and waited for the Teleportation.

"I... can I come with you? A friend of mine couldn't escape, and I... I want to avenge her."

Esme was worried about not having a chance to get in touch with Su Quan, and there was also Clarice, who was very capable and practical. This was a great opportunity to improve their relationship.

Su Quan did not reject Esme's 'out of thin air' offer. "You want to contact me? What a coincidence, so do I!"

Esme followed suit and naturally took Su Quan's other arm.

Then...

Time flies and the environment changes.

The next moment, they appeared in an underground parking lot.

Su Quan pointed to a black sedan, in which a man was making a phone call in the driver's seat.

"He is Herbert."

As he spoke, Su Quan waved his hand and took out a dagger, handing it to Clarice.

"With me here, you can take your revenge with peace of mind."
