Edgar remained silent for a long time.

You've changed.

Maybe.

Edgar sighed and didn't press the matter further.

Now is not the time to investigate why Lin Mo suddenly changed his mind; the real important thing is how to clean up this mess.

And how to keep these two entities, which are no longer entirely controllable by force, within the Vought system for the time being, so that they can gain even greater benefits.

Edgar glanced at Joanna again; she was still standing next to Lin Mo.

Throughout the entire ordeal, no one ever asked how many people had died in the Bunker.

Clearly, as long as Lin Mo was safe, the lives of others were not a concern for her.

This only strengthened Edgar's resolve.

They cannot lose Lin Mo, and they certainly cannot allow Lin Mo to leave Vought and then take Joanna away with him.

"Joining the Super Seven is no problem. Let's continue our previous conversation."

Edgar finally spoke.

They could have sat down and talked things out, but now, he has no one to confide in.

"This was my original plan, but for you, you are different from Joanna."

"Joanna was a key figure that Vought planned to promote. Now, many people outside know that Joanna may take over as the leader of the Super Seven. In our public relations efforts, Joanna already has a base of popularity."

"But she lacks social experience."

Joanna frowned, clearly displeased. Being exposed for her shortcomings in front of someone she liked was never pleasant.

"I don't need it."

Edgar didn't even look at her.

"Of course you could join the Seven directly, which was my original suggestion, but those old fogies on the Board of Directors disagreed."

"But now..." Edgar gave Lin Mo a deep look, "They probably won't have a chance to stop it."

"However, there are also difficulties. You are not Joanna, you haven't been specifically promoted by Vought, and you don't have any support. Making you a member of the Super Seven rashly would be risky."

Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded, and Joanna nodded in response.

Lin Mo understood this; it was a matter of first come, first served. But ultimately, it was just dealing with ordinary Metahuman, while he was different.

"To ensure you have no stains on your record when you join the Super Seven, you can certainly choose to ignore these things."

Edgar explained.

Lin Mo understood now. It was just a concern about negative publicity, a minor issue. But Edgar was doing this for his future, so he decided to give him face.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?" Lin Mo asked.

Edgar paused, his voice a little hoarse from speaking so much in one breath.

"You grew up in a closed environment, you don't understand the social rules of ordinary people, and you haven't really experienced social life."

"Vought had originally planned to arrange a transition period."

Lin Mo became interested.

"What stage?"

"Godolkin University."

Edgar said.

Lin Mo's eyes flickered slightly.

Godolkin University.

Gen V.

Vought's university was specifically built for Supe.

In the future, a large number of young Superhero will enter the entertainment industry from there, and there will also be a shortlist of candidates for the Super Seven.

By this time, Godolkin University should have already gained considerable fame. Most importantly, the Super Seven were almost all selected from the top-ranked schools, so his joining would indeed be in line with the actual situation.

Even better, Supe provide more Energy Points compared to ordinary people.

"You mean, you want us to go to school?"

That's one way to understand it.

Edgar said.

"There are a large number of Supe students there, and the environment is more suitable for you than a regular university. Vought can also openly establish legitimate identities for you."

"You can get to know society there and learn in advance how to interact with ordinary people, the media, and other Supe. This is very friendly to Joanna."

"At the same time."

He paused for a moment.

"Waiting for the Super Seven to officially complete its leadership transition."

Lin Mo didn't answer immediately; he needed to extract more benefits. Joanna, however, frowned.

"I want to live with Lin Mo."

"It can be arranged."

"We can see each other every day."

"Can."

"No one can prevent us from going out."

Edgar looked at Lin Mo.

"It's acceptable within reasonable limits."

Joanna was clearly dissatisfied with the term "reasonable range" and was just about to speak.

Lin Mo spoke first, "Okay."

Joanna turned to look at him.

"You want to go?"

"Let's go take a look."

Lin Mo smiled.

Godolkin University.

That wasn't just a school; it also contained many characters from the story he was familiar with.

More importantly, what does that place mean to Lin Mo right now? It's a concentration camp for characters from the storyline. Although the timeline might not have reached the V era yet, he can wait.

Each one of them was a mobile energy source, and he didn't even have to search the world for them himself; Vought even took the initiative to send them there.

What a thoughtful arrangement.

What reason could he possibly have to refuse?

"However, I have conditions."

Lin Mo looked at Edgar.

"You say."

"First."

"From today onwards, Vought is no longer permitted to conduct any experiments on me and Joanna, including blood tests, ability tests, or collecting any body samples without our consent."

"Besides, you don't even have that ability."

Edgar remained silent for a moment.

"Can."

What else could he do but agree? His future career was now entirely dependent on Joanna and Lin Mo, and besides, the Bunker was destroyed, so there was no way to conduct any research on it now.

"Second."

"We have independent identities and property, you know, no longer existing as assets of the Vought Experiments."

"Can."

"Third."

"Joanna and I have the right to move freely."

"Vought can arrange work, but whether we accept it is up to us."

Edgar frowned and attempted to negotiate.

"Members of the Super Seven are also required to fulfill their contractual obligations."

"We can discuss the contract later."

Lin Mo looked at him.

"Don't try to order us around like you used to."

"Because next time, I might not be dismantling just a Research Center."

The air grew quieter.

Edgar looked at the still-smoking Bunker in the distance; the threat was convincing.

"We can talk."

He said.

"As for the rest, we'll leave them for now if we can't think of anything else."

Lin Mo raised his hand and pointed at Joanna.

"Anyway, you don't have the strength to fight against me and Joanna."

"If there's a next time..."

His tone was icy.

"I'll go straight to Vought headquarters."

"At that time."

"I certainly don't want Vought's story to be on the United States headlines tomorrow."

Edgar's face darkened completely.

Joanna, however, smiled.

Clearly, she really liked Lin Mo's current attitude. That's how it should be; there's no need to waste time talking to them later.

Edgar remained silent for a long time.

final.

Extend a hand.

"Make a deal."
