Chapter 628
It's easy to imagine how excited and overwhelmed Celeste was at that moment.
If she hadn't had ulterior motives towards Nina and was worried about it affecting her own plans and arrangements, she would have excitedly asked Su Quan for his regards long ago.
"Buzz!"
An invisible and traceless Psychic Power gently flowed into Celeste's mind. Celeste was overjoyed, and the moment the Mind Stone connection was established, an excited call was sent out.
"Master! You've finally arrived!"
"I already knew you had joined the Vought International. I was planning to surprise you, but I didn't expect to run into you here..."
"I didn't expect to see the master here. How is everyone?"
Su Quan knew that Celeste was referring to the other three members of the Multiple Man when she mentioned them. After all, she and Maddy had been sent to this world not long after their resurrection and had almost no contact with other Mutants.
"Esme and the others are all doing well; they have all moved to the Main World now."
"That's good." Celeste breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't know the situation in the Main World, the words 'Main World' were enough to explain everything.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Su Quan asked Celeste why she had come here and about her relationship with Nina.
Celeste came here to save Sherry.
The reason Sherry didn't leave with Frenchie, nor did she stay with Frenchie, was that she had been controlled by Celeste a long time ago.
At that time, Celeste and Maddy were still 'young' and had interacted with Nina a few times, or rather, had a working relationship with her.
Celeste and Maddy's abilities can help Nina do many things, while Nina's power and connections can allow them to live a better, easier life.
Especially after Vought International, Nina's connections brought them many benefits, at least in terms of freedom, which was much greater than that of other heroes.
Furthermore, they can use Nina's connections to gather information, better eliminate evil, and uphold justice.
Of course, they aren't exactly pure heroes; their core beliefs are similar to most Superman in this world, but they look down on the 'show' arranged by Vought International.
Despite the cooperation, Nina remained wary of them, and they, in turn, were also wary of Nina.
Celeste controls Sherry in order to keep track of Nina's movements.
Meanwhile, she and Maddy also secretly sabotaged Nina, but only once, and the effect was not noticeable.
They changed Nina's orientation!
The reason they did this was because they felt Nina was very capable and wanted to take her with them when they left this world.
If one wants to follow one's master and serve him, one's personal life cannot be too chaotic. However, if one remains chaste, it does not conform to the actual situation of the flower of sin.
So very early on, they used their Psychic Abilities to distort her orientation.
The seemingly long Mind Stone between Su Quan and Celeste was actually just a few words, fleeting in an instant.
"I think I've come at the wrong time. I won't disturb your business discussion any longer. I'll come back to you later."
Celeste glanced at Su Quan, gave Nina a mocking smile, and then turned and left naturally.
Nina knew that Celeste's eyes would glow when she used her powers, so she never suspected that Celeste and Su Quan would be secretly having an affair right under her nose.
Nina lit another cigarette, took a light puff, blew it towards Su Quan, and then said with a smile, "Help me kill one more person, and I'll give you what you want."
"You're going to kill a lot of people. Tell me, who do you want to kill?"
Su Quan complained, but he didn't really care. According to Celeste, Nina would be his person sooner or later.
He is very patient with his own people.
Nina said with a smile, "I need to think about it carefully. How about I pay you back first and let you know when I've made up my mind?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll run away or die? If I die, you'll be at a huge loss."
"Good steel should be used where it's needed most. I'll take a gamble; I believe you won't die, and you won't let me down..."
Nina pointed to Su Quan's heart and warned with a half-smile, "You better not hurt me, or I'll never forgive you."
After saying that, he found paper and pen, wrote a note, and handed it to Su Quan.
Su Quan took the body without comment, glanced at it, then looked at Sherry's corpse and casually asked, "Do you need me to take care of it?"
Nina smiled nonchalantly and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Su Quan untied Sherry's body, picked it up with one hand, and disappeared with a whoosh.
Su Quan's sudden disappearance startled Nina, who was caught off guard. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she took a few deep drags on her cigarette and couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath.
"Fuck, he's a Superman!"
Su Quan put Sherry's body into his personal space, intending to revive her later.
Killing someone first and then resurrecting them might seem redundant, but there are actually several reasons for it.
First of all, Sherry is Frenchie's 'girlfriend'.
Frenchie had been twisting his neck and growling at him resentfully, and he was still in his mind's eye. He had to get rid of this grudge.
Secondly, Sherry also benefited from the misfortune, escaping Nina's threat and life-threatening situation.
Shouldn't a life-saving grace be repaid with one's body and service like a beast of burden?
Ultimately, looks determine destiny, and physique determines life and death; being beautiful is itself a skill and an advantage.
If Cinderella were ugly, even wearing Crystal wouldn't attract the prince.
Bear Country.
A secret research lab in a military-controlled area.
Several researchers were scattered in the spacious research room, some engrossed in their research data, others observing the experimental reactions of mice in front of a transparent box.
In the corner stood a huge, sealed box made of thick metal, connected by several pipes.
The sealed box isolates the inside from the outside, so that neither the inside nor the outside can see inside.
Researchers can only understand the situation inside the sealed box through real-time monitoring data.
To be precise, it was about understanding the situation of the Homelander who was frozen inside!
Su Quan arrived Invisibility and stood in front of the sealed box. With his X-ray vision, he could clearly see the sleeping Homelander inside.
In his view, the Homelander was a typical example of someone who was pitiful but also hateful!
PS: The picture shows Sherry.
Homelander, as the leading figure among the first generation of superheroes launched by Vought International, possesses undeniable strength.
A single glance can trap the other person in Mindstorm, forever trapped in a nightmare.
Twin dynamite Explosive Twins that can unleash an explosive energy burst simply by holding hands.
Bug-Man with wings on their backs.
Gunpowder proficient in Gunpowder.
Which member of the Payback hasn't been beaten by him? Which one hasn't been bullied by him?
Even his girlfriend, Countess Crimson, outwardly smiled but secretly hated him to the core.
Not to mention Black Noir, who has become a mainstay of the Seven. During his time with the Payback, he was the one who was beaten the most and the most severely by Homelander.
That's why he took the lead and betrayed the Homelander with the other members.
So it's not unfair at all that the Homelander was betrayed by his teammates, betrayed by his girlfriend, captured by the Soviets to be experimented on, and finally frozen in ice!
He and his Homelander perfectly illustrate a saying.
There is always something hateful about a pitiful person, and something pitiful about a hateful person.
The Homelander is a pitiful person, and the Homelander is a hateful person.
The pitiful aspect of the Homelander is that he constantly yearns for the warmth of his family and the recognition of others.
The pitiful Homelander's hateful aspect is that he is rigid, Coldblood, arrogant, has a very serious tendency towards violence, and cares about no one but himself.
Although Homelander is also Coldblood, arrogant, and prone to violence, he is fundamentally different from Homelander because of the traumatic experience he had in his childhood.
Besides bullying his teammates and disregarding human life, the Homelander did two other things that must be mentioned.
First, there's the famous All-Star Hero Convention, which brings together the Legion group of superheroes every year.
This gathering of heroes has been held for more than 60 sessions since its first session in 1952. Its founders were Homelander and another Superman — Liberty Belle!
The second thing that must be mentioned is...
This Liberty Belle later changed her name and joined the Seven as Storm, and even started dating Homelander.
And the Homelander is also the father of the Homelander...
Let's just say this is like putting a saddle on a cow's back—it's all a mess!
Let's leave the criticism of the Homelander's personality and experiences for now and get back to the main topic: Su Quan's purpose in coming to see him.
There are two purposes.
