Demon Corporation Hotel
The mutants had just finished their battle for the day and earned a considerable amount of contribution points.
In the task of subjugating mutants, contribution points are assigned based on the difficulty and battle conditions, with each individual receiving a different amount.
The distributors of these points are a weak artificial intelligence jointly developed by Dr. Banner and Dr. Otto. While it doesn't match Jarvis in terms of intelligence, it's still quite functional.
Generally, the most contribution points are given during battle.
The group gathered together, wiping off sweat and blood from their bodies, excitedly discussing their haul.
"Hey, I worked hard this time; my contribution points should be pretty good."
"That's not necessarily true. I think I performed better."
The group bantered back and forth, filled with energy and spirit.
"I've been saving up my contribution points for a while. What do you guys plan to buy?" Fireman John asked Ice Man Bobby.
"Of course, I'm going for the enhancement serum. It's cheap, effective, and the best value for money."
"But are you guys still going to buy it? Oh, I forgot, only the first batch of Brotherhood members will receive the Demon King's rewards."
Carson leaned in, showing off his muscles.
He used to be in the Brotherhood, occasionally boasting in front of the mutants who joined later.
But he would also...
"Not again, get him!"
Someone shouted, and a group of people rushed forward, surrounding Carson, kicking him in a circle.
Some curious onlookers saw it was Carson and immediately joined in.
Shouting, punching, and kicking mixed together for several minutes.
When everyone dispersed, Carson patted off the dust, his skin unscathed.
After enhancing with the serum, his powers had also evolved. Previously, his body could only regenerate if severed, but now, any wound could regenerate, just like Wolverine without the claws.
He grinned smugly. "Hmph, is this all you've got? You think you can hurt me?"
After speaking, he swaggered off.
"John, although he's an idiot, he's not wrong. The enhancement serum is definitely the best choice right now, and there's even a chance it could trigger a second mutation in your abilities," Bobby said seriously.
"Alright. I was planning to save up for the Underworld Flame ability. It's supposed to create low-temperature flames," John shrugged helplessly.
"I've got my eye on the flying ability, but it's a bit pricey. The cost is to pluck Hulk's hair once and submit my soul every month. Do you know who Hulk is?"
"No, he should be a nobody. For mine, I need to soak in an ice bath for 10 minutes every day and submit my soul every month. These costs are really weird."
"Compared to gaining new abilities, these costs are pretty simple. Yours is simpler. I still need to find Hulk," John countered.
"Yours is simple? I only have to pluck some hair. I need to take an ice bath," Bobby shot back.
"Yours is easy! I still need to look for someone. Ice baths are quite comfortable, Fireboy!"
"Ice-head!"
Upstairs, Erik was unusually troubled.
"Ugh—"
"Erik, could you stop sighing? It's getting annoying," Raven said helplessly, setting down her wine glass and furrowing her beautiful brows.
In the luxurious hotel, with fragrant red wine and delicious food, the future of mutants seemed bright.
But Erik, sitting in front of her, was enveloped in a shadow that completely ruined the pleasant atmosphere.
Chapter 143: The White Queen (2/2)
"That child hasn't answered my calls, not even picking up the phone."
"The one named Lorna?"
"Yeah."
Erik's tone was full of helplessness and sorrow. His usually stern face was now filled with worry.
Now, three people were in charge of mutant affairs.
Erik was responsible for subjugation, using his immense strength and authority to bring scattered mutants back into the organization.
Charles managed the mutants, using his wise mind and gentle nature to comfort every new member, helping them adapt to their new lives.
Tom was in charge of logistics, ensuring all resources were well-distributed and that each operation was fully prepared.
Just a few days ago, Magneto received a message from his old friend Charles, asking him if he had any other children.
This made Magneto immediately think of Lorna Dane.
Her mother, Susanna Dane, had met him when he was younger, and they had spent a long time together. However, he was too consumed with his obsession to kill Shaw and quickly left.
When they met again, it was during a plane crash.
He sensed similar abilities and went to check it out.
It was there that he found the newly awakened Lorna, while Susanna had tragically passed away. Lorna was the only survivor of the crash.
At the time, Magneto was being hunted by the government, and he couldn't take care of the child.
He reluctantly erased Lorna Dane's memory, cleaned up the scene, and left.
When he learned Lorna was in the Demon Corporation, he was overjoyed and immediately called her.
He hoped to finally make up for the years of lost time, but his hopes were dashed by Lorna's cold response.
"You're just my biological father."
Lorna's voice was cold and distant, with no warmth.
Magneto opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He was overwhelmed with guilt, and his face grew pale.
"Do you know when my birthday is?"
Lorna's question was sharp, like a blade piercing Magneto's heart.
Magneto was again silenced, his face twisted with guilt.
"I will defeat you, Magneto."
With that, the call ended, leaving only the sound of a busy signal.
Magneto stood there, holding the phone, unable to do anything.
After that, no matter how he called, the phone was never answered, only the cold message repeating, "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable," mocking him for his past mistakes.
"Hahaha, biological father? Where did she learn that from?" Raven laughed loudly, unable to stop herself.
Magneto's face darkened, like a storm cloud forming.
"Raven, I'm telling you to help me, not laugh at me."
"I—hahaha—I can't help it, in this situation, you'll just have to wear her down. Let her feel your love. If it were me, I'd block her right away. If she kept bothering me, I might even find her and beat her up. That girl has quite a temper," Raven said, wiping away her tears of laughter, still grinning.
"It's so much fun here with you. It's not like this when I'm with Charles."
