Chapter 144 - 144

The hotel under the Demon Group.

The Mutants had just finished today's battle and earned a lot of contribution points.

In the mission to subdue Mutants, different contribution points were allocated to each person based on the difficulty, situation, and battle conditions.

The allocator was a weak artificial intelligence jointly developed by Dr. Banner and Dr. Otto. Although it was not as intelligent as Jarvis, it was sufficient.

Generally, the most contribution points were given only in battle situations.

Everyone sat together, wiping sweat and blood from their bodies, excitedly discussing their gains from this time.

"Hey, I put in a lot of effort this time, so my contribution points shouldn't be few."

"That's not necessarily true, I think I performed better."

Everyone spoke at once, full of vitality and fighting spirit.

"You've accumulated contribution points for so long, what do you plan to buy?" Pyro John asked Bobby.

"It must be the Strengthening Potion , it's cheap and effective, making it the most cost-effective choice.

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

Carson leaned over and flexed his muscles.

He used to be in the Brotherhood and would often show off to the Mutants who joined later.

But he would also...

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

Someone shouted, and a group of people swarmed forward, surrounding Carson and kicking him.

Some people nearby came over and looked curiously. Seeing it was Carson, they also joined without hesitation.

For a moment, shouts and the sounds of punches and kicks intertwined.

It stopped after several minutes of fighting.

When everyone dispersed, Carson patted the dust off his body, not even a scratch on his skin.

After being strengthened by the Strengthening Potion, his abilities also underwent new changes. Previously, limbs could only regenerate if severed, but now any injury can regenerate, just like Wolverine without his claws.

He grinned triumphantly, "Hmph, with just this much ability, you still want to hurt me?"

With that, he swaggered away.

"John, although he's a jerk, he's right. The Strengthening Potion is indeed the best option right now, and there's even a certain chance it can re-awaken your Mutant ability."

Bobby said seriously.

"Alright, I originally wanted to save up to buy the Netherfire ability. The description says it can produce low-temperature flames."

John shrugged helplessly.

"I'm interested in a flying ability, but it's a bit expensive. The price is to pull out Hulk's hair once, and submit my soul every month. Who is Hulk? Do you know him?"

"I don't know him. He must be an unknown nobody. Mine is to soak in an ice bath for 10 minutes every day, and also submit my soul every month. These prices are really strange."

"Compared to gaining new abilities, these prices are very simple. Yours is relatively simple. I still have to find out where Hulk is?"

"Yours is clearly simpler, just pulling out hair. I still have to soak in an ice bath."

"Yours is simple. I still have to look for people everywhere. Soaking in an ice bath is very comfortable, Fire Boy!"

"Ice Block Head..."

On the second floor, Eric was uncharacteristically frowning.

"Sigh—"

"Eric, can you stop sighing? It's annoying to listen to."

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

The luxurious hotel, the mellow red wine, the delicious food, the future of the Mutants.

Everything was so beautiful.

Yet, the Eric in front of her seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy cloud, forcefully destroying the pleasant atmosphere.

"That child still hasn't answered me. She's not picking up the phone either."

"The child named Lorna."

"Mm."

Eric's tone was full of helplessness and disappointment, his usually majestic face now etched with worry.

Currently, three people are responsible for the matters behind the Mutants.

Eric is responsible for subduing them. With his powerful strength and prestige, he brings back the scattered Mutants to the organization.

Charles is responsible for the management of the Mutants. He uses his wise mind and gentle personality to comfort every new member, helping them adapt to life here as quickly as possible.

Tom is responsible for logistics. He carefully manages the allocation and security of all supplies, ensuring that every operation is 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 made Magneto think of Lorna Dane.

Her mother was Susanna Dane, whom he met in his youth. The two spent a long time together.

However, at that time, he was obsessed with killing Shaw and soon left.

The next time they met was at a plane crash.

He sensed similar ability fluctuations and went to investigate.

He met little Lorna, who had just awakened her abilities, while Susanna had unfortunately passed away. Only Lorna survived the entire plane crash.

But at that time, he was wanted by the government and couldn't even protect himself, let alone live with a child.

Helplessly, he had no choice but to have his subordinates erase Lorna Dane's memories, carefully clean up the scene, and then leave.

When Magneto learned that Lorna was also in the Demon Group, he was overjoyed and immediately dialed her number.

He was full of anticipation, hoping to have a good conversation with his daughter and make up for the years of lost companionship, but the result was that Lorna silenced him with just three sentences.

"You are my biological father."

There was no warmth in Lorna's voice, only coldness and detachment.

"..."

Magneto opened his mouth, but found his throat seemed to be blocked, unable to make any sound.

"Do you know my birthday?"

Lorna's questioning grew sharper, like daggers piercing Magneto's heart.

"..."

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

"I will defeat you, Magneto."

With that, the call ended, leaving only a busy signal.

"..."

Magneto held his phone, standing still.

After that, no matter how many times he dialed, the phone would not connect. Only the repeated "The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable" echoed in his ears, like a cruel mockery of his past mistakes.

"Hahahaha, biological father, where did this girl learn that?"

Raven burst into laughter, laughing so hard she was bent over, almost unable to stand upright.

Eric's face turned dark, like a sky covered in storm clouds.

"Raven, I told you to help me find a solution, not to mock me."

"I, haha, I can't help it. In this situation, you can only slowly wear her down and let her feel your love.

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

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

So interesting, it's never this fun staying with Charles.
