Hotels under the Demon Group

The Mutants have just finished today's battle and have earned a lot of Contribution Points.

During the mission to subdue Mutants, Contribution Points will be allocated to each person based on the difficulty and the battle situation.

The Allocator is a weak artificial intelligence jointly developed by Dr. Banner and Dr. Otto. Although it is not as intelligent as Jarvis, it is sufficient for its purpose.

Generally, the most Contribution Points are awarded during combat.

The group sat together, wiping away sweat and blood, and excitedly discussing their haul.

"Hey, I put in a lot of effort this time, so I should get a good number of Contribution Points."

"That's not necessarily true. I think I did better."

Everyone chimed in with their own words, full of energy and fighting spirit.

"You've saved up your Contribution Points for so long, what are you planning to buy?" Pyro John asked Iceman Bobby.

"Then we must Enhancement Potion; it's cheap, highly effective, and the best value for money."

"But are you still going to buy it? Oh! I forgot, only the first batch of Brotherhood members will receive the Demon Lord's reward."

Carson leaned closer and flexed his muscles.

He used to be a member of the Brotherhood, and he would often go and show off to the Mutants who joined later.

However, it will also...

"It's you again, beat him up."

Someone shouted, and a group of people rushed forward, surrounding Carson and kicking him in circles.

People nearby glanced over curiously, and upon seeing it was Carson, they joined in without hesitation.

For a moment, shouts, curses, and the sounds of fists and feet mingled together.

They kept hitting it for several minutes before stopping.

After everyone left, Carson dusted himself off; he wasn't even scratched.

After being enhanced by the Enhancement Potion, his abilities have also undergone new changes. Previously, limbs could only regenerate after being severed, but now he can regenerate any kind of injury, just like Wolverine without claws.

He grinned smugly. "Hmph, is that all you've got? You think you can hurt me?"

After saying that, he swaggered away.

"John, although he's despicable, he's not wrong. The Enhancement Potion is indeed the best option right now, and there's a chance it can reawaken your mutant ability."

Bobby said seriously.

"Okay, I was originally planning to save up to buy the Netherflame Ability, but the description says it can generate low-temperature flames."

John shrugged, somewhat helplessly.

"I've got my eye on the Flight Ability, but it's a bit pricey. The price is plucking one of Hulk's hairs and handing over your soul every month. Who's Hulk? Do you know him?"

"I don't know him. He's probably just some nobody. My price is that I have to soak in an ice water pool for 10 minutes every day and hand over my soul every month. These prices are really strange."

"Compared to gaining new abilities, these costs are simple. Yours are simpler. I still need to find out where Hulk is."

"It's so simple for you, just plucking a hair, but I have to take an ice bath."

"Your simplicity is a relief; I still have to search everywhere for someone. A cold water bath is very comfortable, Fire Kid!"

"Ice Brain..."

Erik, on the second floor, looked unusually worried.

"Well-"

"Erik, can you stop sighing like that? It's annoying me."

Raven reluctantly put down her wine glass, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly.

Luxurious hotels, fine wines, delicious food, and the future of Mutants.

Everything was so beautiful.

However, Erik, standing in front of them, seemed shrouded in gloom, completely ruining the pleasant atmosphere.

"That child hasn't spoken to me at all, and won't answer my calls."

"That child named Lorna."

"Um."

Erik's tone was full of helplessness and disappointment, and his usually dignified face was now filled with sorrow.

The matter concerning the Mutants is now being handled by three people.

Erik was in charge of recruiting them. He used his strength and authority to bring the scattered Mutants back to the organization.

Charles was in charge of managing the Mutants. With his intelligence and gentle nature, he soothed each new member and helped them adapt to life there as quickly as possible.

Tom was in charge of logistics, meticulously managing the allocation and support of all supplies to ensure that every operation was adequately prepared.

Just a few days ago, Magneto received a message from his old friend Charles, asking him if he had any other children.

This immediately reminded Magneto of Lorna Dane.

Her mother was Susanna Dane, whom he met when he was young, and the two spent a long time together.

However, at that time he was obsessed with killing Xiao, and he left quickly.

The next time we met was at the scene of a plane crash.

He sensed a similar fluctuation of power and went to investigate.

They encountered Lorna, who had just awakened her abilities, while Susanna had tragically passed away; Lorna was the only survivor on the entire plane.

But at that time he was wanted by the government and could barely protect himself, so he had no way to raise his children.

Left with no other option, he had his men erase Lorna's memories, carefully clean up the scene, and then leave.

Magneto was overjoyed to learn that Lorna was also with the Demon Group and couldn't wait to make the call.

He was eagerly anticipating a good conversation with his daughter, wanting to make up for the years he had missed spending time with her, but Lorna silenced him with just three sentences.

"You are my biological father."

Lorna's voice contained no warmth whatsoever, only indifference and alienation.

"..."

Magneto opened his mouth, but found that his throat was blocked and he could not make a sound.

Do you know my birthday?

Lorna's questions grew increasingly sharp, like blades piercing Magneto's heart.

"..."

Magneto fell silent again, his face turning extremely pale with guilt.

"I will defeat you, Magneto."

After he finished speaking, the call was disconnected, leaving only a busy tone.

"..."

Magneto stood frozen in place, holding his phone.

After that, no matter how many times he dialed, the phone could not be connected. Only the repeated message "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable" echoed in his ears, like a merciless mockery of his mistakes over the years.

"Haha, biological father, where did this girl learn that from?"

Raven burst into laughter, laughing so hard she almost couldn't straighten up.

Erik's face darkened, as if a storm cloud had gathered.

"Raven, I'm telling you this to help me find a solution, not for you to laugh at me."

"I... haha, there's nothing I can do either. In this situation, you can only slowly wear her down and let her feel your love."

If it were me, I'd block her immediately. If she keeps harassing you, I might even find you and beat you up. This little girl has a pretty good temper."

Raven wiped away the tears of laughter, finally managing to stop laughing, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but turn up.

How interesting! It's not like having so much fun following Charles around.
