Chapter 560
Su Quan shook his head. "He'll leave on his own when he wakes up."
"Okay, so how are we leaving here? Have you arranged a boat or a plane?" Martina Bancroft asked curiously.
"Neither!"
Su Quan smiled and gestured for her to close her eyes. Then, with a whoosh, he Teleportation back to her apartment.
The entire process took less than a second.
"Alright, open your eyes."
Martina Bancroft opened her eyes with a puzzled look, then was completely dumbfounded.
"This is my home?!"
"Weren't we on a cargo ship on the high seas? How did we end up back home in the blink of an eye?"
Su Quan said with a smile, "Guess?"
I won't guess!
"Tell me what's going on! This—this isn't scientific!"
P. S.: My daily life is too stressful. My physical and mental state is not good. I also need to take care of an elderly person at home. I have no social life right now, and I can't concentrate on my work. On top of that, I have financial pressure and anxiety about my age and health.
I want to cheer up and update more, but the conditions in all aspects simply don't allow it, and they simply don't give me the opportunity!
Something's wrong with you!
"Morbius turned into a monster and killed so many people, yet you weren't afraid at all and easily subdued him."
"Besides..."
"Dr. Morbius had just lost control when you suddenly appeared and now you've brought me back to my home in New York from the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean in an instant."
"Tell me, what exactly is going on!"
Martina Bancroft stared intently at Su Quan. She didn't mind being one of Su Quan's people, nor did she care whether Su Quan was a good person or not, or even whether Su Quan was an 'ordinary' person.
But she minds being lied to and kept in the dark!
"Well, it's a long story. I have another identity: the ruler at the end of the Multiverse Timeline, known as the Lord of the Void."
"If you can't understand, just treat me like God or a deity."
Su Quan never intended to keep his identity a secret forever, since he would take her with him when he left.
Taking this opportunity, he told her about his identity, origins, purpose in coming to this world, and some basic knowledge about the Multiverse.
Martina Bancroft, despite being a doctor specializing in hematology, possesses a remarkable capacity for learning!
From a scientific perspective, the theories of the Multiverse and Parallel Universes have existed for a long time, and there are countless related films and television dramas, making them easy to accept.
From a religious perspective, it goes without saying that, given that the United States is a diverse country with a wide variety of religious beliefs, one can learn about them in daily life even without actively seeking them out.
Therefore, it is not unacceptable.
What Martina Bancroft truly found hard to accept was that this God, this deity, was actually her man?!
Well, it's important for people to know their own limitations. Given that Su Quan was previously a wealthy tycoon or a top figure, it's not surprising that she would be interested in him, since she has a certain degree of confidence in her looks, figure, and talent.
But a god from the Multiverse level taking a liking to her? Sorry, she wouldn't even dare to dream about that. After all, there's a difference between fantasy and wishful thinking!
Martina Bancroft accepted Su Quan's new identity in ten minutes, but it took her more than two hours to accept that her man was a god!
When she finally accepted the truth as she fell asleep, exhausted as ever, in Su Quan's arms.
Because it's been verified that it's the same familiar combination, and it still tastes the same!
The next day.
Su Quan and Martina Bancroft arrived at Horizon Labs. As soon as they entered, they saw several uniformed police officers questioning the lab's employees.
A familiar-looking Black policeman saw Su Quan and his companion enter and walked straight over to them.
"FBI Agent Simon Straud."
He showed his identification to the two men and stated directly, with a clear objective. "This morning, we discovered an unmanned cargo ship with several bodies on board."
"According to our investigation, Dr. Martina Bancroft, you and Dr. Morbius went out to sea together on this ship last night, but according to satellite and ship positioning, you did not stop at any ports or islands during the voyage."
"Can you explain when and how you and Dr. Morbius left the ship?"
It is obvious that Simon Stroud has already identified Martina Bancroft and Morbius as suspects.
That's normal. After all, they boarded the ship, and everyone on board died, while they mysteriously disappeared. Who else would you suspect if not them?
Moreover, there is so much medical equipment in the ship's laboratory, and only the two of them have the relevant capabilities, so it is obviously related to them!
"Roman Pearce, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Su Quan asked.
"Of course it's the truth!"
"Also, my name is Simon Stroud, not Roman Pearce!"
Simon Stroud looked at Su Quan. Although he hadn't yet found out Su Quan's true identity, he was Martina Bancroft's boyfriend and one of the investors in the project that Martina Bancroft and Morbius were researching.
Initially, no connection was found between him and the cargo ship incident, but his current attitude and reaction made Simon Stroud feel that he might be directly related to the matter!
"Okay, Roman Pearce."
Su Quan's joking reply made Simon Stroud's already dark face darken even more.
Who the hell is Roman Pearce? My name is Simon Stroud! Simon Stroud!!
"Roman Pearce, do you really enjoy driving fast, and especially those flashy but impractical cars?" Su Quan asked with interest.
Simon Stroud said in a dark voice, "Mr. Su Quan, you had better answer my question seriously, otherwise I'll have to ask you to answer it somewhere else."
Believe me, you won't like that place!
Su Quan shrugged. This Simon Stroud wasn't nearly as likable as Roman Pearce from Fast & Furious.
"Alright, since you've pleased me, I'll tell you the truth. I was the one who took Thena away from that ship, and I was the one who deleted the ship's surveillance footage."
Simon Stroud pressed on sharply, "How did you get her away?"
"How did you get her away? Hehe, it's very simple, she just disappeared in a flash."
Simon Stroud's face darkened further, and he could no longer contain his anger. "Are you playing me?"
Su Quan raised an eyebrow with a half-smile and asked, "Why do you say that? I'm telling the truth, don't you believe me?"
"Gone in a flash? Hmph, do you think I'd believe that kind of nonsense? Why don't you just say it disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
Simon Stroud stared coldly at Su Quan, his tone menacing as he warned, "You'd better cooperate with my questioning and answer it seriously, or else I..."
"Call out--"
Simon Stroud's warning was cut short as if someone had grabbed him by the throat.
He suddenly looked around.
No, no, still no...
Su Quan vanished right under his nose in a flash!
"Shit!"
Where is he?!
Simon Stroud cursed incredulously and shouted at Martina Bancroft, who remained calm.
Martina Bancroft shrugged. "I don't know either! But I can tell you, last night I literally opened my eyes and followed him home from the ship."
"..."
"This is absurd! This is absurd! How could someone suddenly disappear and then return home from the sea in the blink of an eye?"
"This is not scientific!"
Martina Bancroft nodded in deep agreement. "That's what I said too!"
P. S.: The storylines of the recent worlds are interconnected: The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man, the New Fantastic Four, then back to the Mutants world to wrap things up, and finally back to the Marvel Mainstream Universe to conclude. Then I'll write about the Boys.
Then the picture is of Simon Stroud. Anyone who has seen Fast and Furious will recognize his face immediately.
"Call out--"
With a whooshing sound, Su Quan reappeared in front of Simon Stroud, whose face was filled with disbelief.
"How... how did you do that?"
Simon Stroud grabbed Su Quan's arm in a moment of panic. In all his years as a detective, he had encountered many bizarre and strange cases, but this was the first time he had ever witnessed a true "disappearance"!
His worldview is starting to crumble.
But thinking about all those freaks like Spider-Man and Lizard Man that have recently emerged, it seems my worldview has already collapsed.
Moreover, compared to those freaks who wear tight-fitting clothes or turn into giant lizards, Su Quan's undisguised teleportation is easier to accept from a psychological perspective.
