"What kind of disease do they have? They have to go to that remote hospital for treatment, and the cost of consultation is not low. From what I know there, this hospital has no other advantages. The only advantage is lax management. For many special Those who need it can open the door of convenience, like us." Eric put down the glass and leaned forward slightly to look at Jester. "Reminiscent of the strange behavior of you following me and seeming to beg me, can I conclude that Mr. Stryker's fate also happened to his loyal subordinates?"

Following Stryker, Jester Warren has met many great people, including extraordinary people with extraordinary abilities, military generals who have commanded thousands of troops, and the President who is admired by all. He is a man who has seen big scenes Man, no matter what kind of things can hardly move him.But in his impression, no one he had ever met before could compare with Eric's scrutinizing gaze at this moment. When his eyes stared at him, he had a special insight that could penetrate all the defenses on the surface. , has been piercing into people's hearts, exploring the secrets they are least willing to reveal to others.The strong man who is six feet seven inches tall and weighs 210 pounds is extremely uncomfortable for him, as if the blood in his whole body is boiling involuntarily.

He tried his best to move his eyes away, and finally managed to control himself after leaving the magical pupils. He confessed to Eric: "It's my daughter, Christina." He said, and lowered his head.

"I have always been against mutants. Everything I did with the doctor was to protect the safety of ordinary citizens, but I didn't expect my daughter to mutate. Now I have no choice but to ask for your help. ." Jester's voice was very dull, as depressed as his mood at the moment, through the changes in the magnetic field, Eric could clearly see how tangled his heart was.

"Tell me about her changes." Eric ordered, he neither objected nor agreed, but picked up the cup and drank the drink with different expressions.

Jester could only tell everything he asked.

The change in his daughter happened just a week ago. As Stryker was busy with the production of new serum recently, he had not been home to visit his family for a while as his right-hand man. It was not until his wife called several times that he stopped talking. It doesn't feel right.At that time, he was worried that his family would be coerced because of what he had done to the mutants, so he didn't tell anyone, and sneaked back to his house to observe for a while, and confirmed that it was a misunderstanding before entering the door.

"When I opened the door, my wife was crying with my daughter Christina in her arms, knowing that her daughter was a mutant, she was almost going crazy." Jester's face was very poor, and he could see his The mood will only be worse than that of the wife.

"You didn't tie up your daughter and send it to the base, which is beyond my expectations." Eric smiled coldly, and his words immediately angered the man opposite.

Jester's bushy eyebrows twitched violently, his breathing became heavier in an instant, and it took a while for him to hold back his anger and speak.

After the shock of the world, Jester finally realized the reality, and he had to accept the fact that his daughter was a mutant.For experts who have dealt with mutants all the year round, it is a common sense that mutant genes come from paternal blood. In the face of the fact, he finally found that he is so closely related to the enemy he targets, he can only drink this cup of bitter wine , to find a way out for himself and his daughter.

"I have thought of many ways, but none of them work, I can't lose my daughter, so I can only come to ask for your help---you could not kill the doctor at the beginning, and now I also ask you to show mercy, here There's an innocent girl who needs your help." Jester lowered his stance to the lowest point, and lowered his head so deeply that it almost touched the table.

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Stryker?" Eric asked, squinting.

"All his arrangements have to go through me." Jester replied without hesitation, after hesitating for a moment, he wanted to say something, but he didn't reveal more after all. His tenacious nature as a soldier stopped him. He went further down the road of betrayal.

Although Jester's attitude was less than satisfactory, Eric had no intention of getting anything extra from him, and he was already satisfied with the news of a mutant, and Stryker's movements didn't matter.Subtle changes are taking place in the nemesis of life and death, when he succumbed to his own pressure in the base below Arkali Lake, the stoic and mortal enemy Stryker, bent on revenge on the mutants, is dead, and now The Stryker is just a mediocre body, an unconscious puppet under his control, he seems to have found a new way of life, but every day, the trap that Eric sets for him sinks deeper.

So Eric decided to meet Miss Warren.

Jester took him to his home in the suburbs of New York. After this rush, it was almost dusk, the street lights in the community were gradually turning on, there were few pedestrians on the road, and no one noticed that a mutant was visiting the enemy's. family.

Leading Eric into the door, Jester nodded to his wife and said nothing. The intelligent blonde woman immediately understood the situation. After she gestured to the guests politely, she hurried upstairs and called her daughter down. .

This is a cute girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, with long brown hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a neutral suspender shirt, and a little baby fat on her face, she reluctantly followed her mother to Eric before.

According to her father, since a week ago, she often emits strong white light from her body. When this phenomenon occurs, her body temperature also becomes abnormally high, which frightens her parents to the core, for fear that she will suddenly Burn it up, then turn into a pile of ashes and throw the poor parents into the world.

"We only have this one child, sir." Her mother looked at Eric pleadingly, asking him to be more careful, but her husband stopped her.All that can be said, the rest can only hope that Eric loves his fellow mutants as he himself claims.

Eric smiled slightly, he had already regarded this girl as something in his pocket, how could he abandon it?

"Can we be alone for a few minutes?" he said politely to the Warrens.

Jester nodded and agreed: "Then please." He took a deep look at his daughter and left the living room with his exhausted wife.

Miss Christina watched her parents disappear, then turned her head to look at the stranger, looking up and down.

"Are you a mutant?" she asked unceremoniously, her little personality was immediately exposed when her parents were not around, she was like a problem girl, not a ladylike appearance.

"This tone is very rude." Eric sat down leisurely and answered her questions calmly. "You're not unique, we're all mutants."

"Really?" Christina shrugged dismissively. "I'm skeptical."

As she spoke, she silently exerted herself. Eric was sitting on the sofa one meter away from the opposite side, and she could clearly see that her magnetic field was rapidly shining, as hot and dazzling as the summer sun.

In just a few breaths, the light of the chandelier in the living room was blocked by the strong light emitted from the girl's body. She was like a large human-shaped light bulb, her whole body was white and clear. The temperature in the room was scorching hot, and Eric felt his skin dry.

"97 degrees Fahrenheit." Eric took out the prepared thermometer and measured it, and the girl raised the room temperature by seventeen degrees.

"Very good." He commented, throwing down the thermometer, the casual expression made the girl feel despised and angry like a kitten stepping on its tail.

"I can do better." The girl retorted fiercely, she was in puberty, and a young man of such an age would be blown away at any time by a trifle in the outside world.

"And then?" Eric ignored her. "Like a fool who shows off his abilities, burnt to death by his own power?"

He hit the nail on the head, and the girl was immediately discouraged. It wasn't that she didn't know the danger of doing so, but she just couldn't stand the contempt of others.

The light gradually weakened, there was no heat source to support, and the indoor temperature gradually dropped, and the girl returned to the appearance of a good girl, burying herself in the sofa without speaking.

In the silence, only Eric's voice sounded slowly.

"You have more power than you think, the question is can you control it?" Eric asked, looking the girl in the eyes. "Or will you be controlled by it?"

The girl blinked uneasily and fell silent for a long time.

Outside the living room, the Warrens sat around the dining table, anxiously awaiting the outcome of the talks as if they were waiting for a court verdict.This is a very loving couple. They have been married for 17 years and never leave each other. In this country where half of the people have sexual intercourse, they are simply a model of a good marriage. But in this year They suddenly encountered an unprecedented cold wave, and the mutation that happened to their daughter made the family on the verge of breaking up. They had to seek help from the mutants they had rejected in the past to solve their worries.

"Jester", Mrs. Warren held her husband's hand tightly, the thick calloused palm was her biggest support at the moment, her hand was wet and cold, while her husband's hand was dry and hard , they held each other so hard that the blue veins on their hands were exposed.

"He will do something, he promised me." Mr. Warren murmured. At this moment, he is no longer the ruthless soldier who treats mutants like a mustard. He has no idea how many times he has spent the first half of his life. Confession, although his wife didn't accuse him face-to-face for it, he was well aware of what a devout evangelical Christian had to say about the word "retribution".Once Eric came out of the living room and declared that the rescue failed, his marriage came to an end, losing not only his daughter but also his wife.

Under such tremendous pressure, Jester Warren couldn't help praying to the God who had been neglected in the past, asking him to save himself from the brink of hell.

As time passed, there was only the sound of the hands of the clock "ticking" in the room. As time went by, the hearts of the couple sank more and more.

Suddenly the living room door rang, and the Warrens bounced off their chairs as if electrocuted, and they saw Eric come out, followed by their precious daughter.

"We had a great time talking." Eric glanced at the two, who were waiting for his announcement. "Please send Miss Warren to Xavier College by next Monday."

The Warrens finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then there was a dizziness that was unstoppable after the extreme tension.

"I believe we have a bright future." Looking at Christina hiding behind the living room door, Eric said with a smile.
