This Is Your Ability, Isn't It?
"Give them both a room."
A deep, authoritative voice, just like before, came from the young man's mouth.
"Yes, sir!"
The butler bowed and accepted the order, then turned around and respectfully addressed James and Victor, who had just stood up in the carriage.
"Plz follow me."
James and Victor hesitated for a moment, glancing at the mysterious young man who had saved them, only to find that he had already walked into the manor on his own. The two exchanged a glance and then followed the butler to their room.
Meanwhile, the young man in the black suit, after instructing the butler to settle the two children, went upstairs alone and returned to his study.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., show me the situation over there."
The young man spoke to the air, and as soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light shot out from his left wrist. It turned out that he was wearing an exquisite metal wristwatch that was completely different from the ones of this era, and the beam of light was coming from the wristwatch.
The beam of light formed a virtual screen in front of the young man, clearly displaying an aerial view of the manor's main hall.
The once clean and tidy manor hall was now littered with withered yellow leaves. A cold autumn wind blew in through the open doors, swirling up leaves that danced on the floor. New leaves were constantly being blown in and falling to the floor, joining the fallen leaves and making the once magnificent manor feel desolate and forlorn.
Two corpses covered with white sheets were placed side by side in the middle of the hall. A beautiful middle-aged woman wearing only a white silk nightgown stood blankly in front of the two corpses, motionless, her unfocused gaze unfocused, and it was impossible to know what she was thinking.
This scene remained unchanged for a long time. If it weren't for the fallen leaves being swept up by the wind, it might have been mistaken for a still image.
Finally, a commotion arose, and several male servants carrying lanterns and hunting rifles walked in from the entrance of the hall.
"Madam, we couldn't find it!"
"I haven't found it here either!"
After the male servants finished their report, Elizabeth remained silent for a long time. Just as everyone was exchanging glances, about to repeat themselves, she seemed to finally come to her senses and slowly spoke.
"Fine, let them go!"
Turning off the virtual screen, the young man in the suit picked up the coffee pot on the table and poured it into the coffee cup. The brownish, translucent, crystalline liquid flowed slowly from the slender spout of the silver coffee pot, with wisps of steam rising from it, gradually filling the coffee cup.
Setting down the silver teapot, the young man in the suit picked up his coffee cup, took a small sip, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
The young man in the suit was undoubtedly Chen Mo. After confirming that James had successfully awakened his abilities under the great stimulation, Chen Mo was completely relieved and set off for the outskirts of the Howlett Manor. He used a small flying tracking device to keep track of James's movements at all times, successfully creating the previous chance encounter and bringing the two back to the manor.
The first part of the plan has been successfully completed!
He successfully captured the two most important objectives of this journey.
However, they have only temporarily stabilized the two people. It will take some effort to completely control them. But with this pleasant start, will it be difficult later?
James and Victor, led into a Guest Rooms by the butler, were unaware that they had been the ones being plotted against all along. Even the fact that they hadn't been able to shake off their pursuers was due to Chen Mo's secret intervention. Whenever the two were about to escape, J.A.R.V.I.S. would control a small drone to make noise and attract the pursuers' attention, thus finding the right direction and continuing to track them along the newly discovered trail.
In the movie, the two easily shook off their pursuers and escaped, but now they are desperate and have to rely on Chen Mo's help to finally escape.
The next day, Victor and James were taken to Chen Mo's study by the butler. After leaving the two of them there, the butler left alone.
Chen Mo sat upright behind his desk, scrutinizing the two people in front of him.
Victor seemed to be in good condition, indicating that his father Thomas's death had not affected him too much. A hint of relief could be seen in his expression, clearly showing that there was nothing to cherish about the memories Thomas left him with.
When he learned that James, whom he had always treated like a younger brother, was actually his brother, he was overjoyed. He had found real family, brothers who could care for each other and share joys and sorrows!
So Victor slept well last night and is in particularly good spirits today.
James, on the other hand, was deeply traumatized. His father, who had always cared for and loved him, was murdered, and he then learned that his father was not his biological father. In fact, his real father had been killed by James himself. This series of major upheavals caused James great Mind Stone distress, and the strange changes in his body horrified him. He didn't sleep well all night, and when he woke up today, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was listless and had no energy at all.
Chen Mo took in both of their states, just as he had expected. However, he didn't say much, but instead went straight to the point and asked what had happened between them last night.
Although Chen Mo himself was very clear about this, he still had to put on a show.
Chen Mo, who rescued them from the pursuers last night, wanted to know the reason behind it, which was indeed a perfectly normal request.
Therefore, Victor did not hide anything and recounted the whole story in detail, from his father Thomas breaking in late at night to James growing claws, killing Thomas, and escaping.
It's clear that Victor is a simple and straightforward person, without any ulterior motives, and he likes to speak and act directly.
"Let me see your claws."
Upon hearing this, James hesitated and looked at Victor. Encouraged by Victor's nod, he stretched out his hands, gritting his teeth and exerting force. However, even when his face turned red, only a small section of his thin, bony claw, less than a centimeter long, emerged.
Clearly, James, who has just awakened his unique abilities, is not yet able to control this newly acquired power well.
"Okay, that's enough."
Chen Mo stopped James from trying any further, which made James breathe a sigh of relief, and the bone spurs on his hands slowly retracted.
Chen Mo then turned to look at Victor, his gaze falling on his manicured nails, which, though trimmed, were still noticeably different from those of ordinary people.
"Is this all you've got?"
