Chapter 27: Stowaway Barbara, another ability that Lynn covets!

Inside the clinic, surrounded by a group of heavily armed Federal Bureau of Investigation members, the black market Doctor was squatting on the ground, holding his head obediently.

When he saw Lynn Hall and Coulson walk in, the black market Doctor immediately said, "Mr. Lynn Hall, I've really told you everything I know. Although that bastard Adam Morris received simple treatment here."

"But I really don't know where he went in the end. I never get involved in Mutant affairs!"

Seeing the Doctor call out his name immediately, Lynn Hall pulled over a chair and sat in front of him: "You know me?"

"Of course, I saw you on television, at Tony Stark's press conference."

"Mr. Lynn Hall, please believe me, I am truly not Adam Morris's accomplice. I only learned from television reports that he was the one who caused that attack!"

Looking at the sincere Doctor, Lynn Hall chuckled, "Honestly, I'm very willing to believe you. A Doctor, saving lives and helping the injured is normal. But after you knew Adam Morris committed a crime, you not only didn't report it but also helped him escape from New York. That's a crime of harboring, and can even be treated as an accomplice."

"Of course, this matter can be big or small for our Federal Bureau of Investigation, so whether you go to prison or are let go depends on whether you cooperate."

"I've always been kind to people, so you have three chances!"

After speaking, Lynn Hall said no more, just quietly looking at him.

The Doctor was, of course, well aware of Lynn Hall's psychological offensive; it was even one of the common interrogation methods used by official organizations.

But he couldn't be sure how much Lynn Hall in front of him actually knew.

Thinking of the prison specifically for Mutants, the Doctor was silent for a moment before tentatively speaking, "I really don't know where Adam went. He didn't tell me, but I know that the reason he launched an attack at the concert was because he took a bounty from the black market..."

"I've already investigated everything you've said, so you still have two chances!"

"Adam said that the person who posted the bounty was not an ordinary person, they..."

"I know that too. You only have one last chance left!"

Looking at the Doctor, Lynn Hall smiled gently, "You'd best think carefully before speaking. From what I know, Colonel Stryker of the Military is very fond of Mutants like you!"

Hearing Lynn Hall say that, the Doctor's face instantly turned pale.

Falling into the hands of that guy Stryker was worse than being locked up in a Mutant prison.

But the Smuggler...

Gritting his teeth and persisting, sweat continuously beaded on the Doctor's face.

Just as Lynn shook his head, preparing to get up, a clear female voice suddenly appeared.

"You're looking for me, right? I'm Barbara Kent, nicknamed the Smuggler!"

Looking at Barbara who appeared out of nowhere, the Doctor, who had been squatting on the ground, immediately stood up: "Barbara, you..."

"There's no hiding, Dad. It's clear the Federal Bureau of Investigation already knows about me, which is why they came directly to you!"

With that, Barbara Kent looked at Lynn Hall and said, "Mr. Hall, I can tell you where Adam was sent, and I can even personally take you there."

"But, can you guarantee not to pursue the responsibility of me and my Dad?"

Looking at Barbara, who was not very old, at most eighteen or nineteen, Lynn Hall smiled, "No wonder no other Mutant besides the Doctor knew your identity as the Smuggler. So you two are father and daughter. But can you tell me what your ability is?"

"Teleportation!"

Facing Lynn's inquiry, Barbara was a bit nervous but truthfully said, "I can teleport people to any location on Earth. If I have precise coordinates, I can even achieve zero error, but the longer the teleportation distance, the greater the drain on me."

"Mr. Hall, you haven't answered me yet, can you stop pursuing the matter of me and my father!"

Hearing Barbara's introduction, Lynn Hall glanced at the somewhat anxious Doctor.

Then he smiled and said, "Yes, if you can do what you say, then I can decide not to pursue the responsibility of you and your father!"

"Really?"

"Don't worry, I've always been kind to people. Even though you are Mutants, I have never had any discrimination against Mutants!"

Saying that, Lynn Hall waved to Dennis, and after Dennis walked over.

Lynn Hall continued, "Do you see him? He is also an Agent under me, but similarly, he is also a Mutant!"

Hearing Lynn say that Dennis was also a Mutant, Barbara immediately relaxed.

Even Jean Grey and Storm, and even Cyclops, increased their favorability towards Lynn Hall a little.

They knew very well that the adoration in Dennis's eyes when he looked at Lynn Hall couldn't be faked.

If Lynn was full of discrimination against Mutants, how could Dennis admire him so much?

Well, this statement was more for all the Mutants present than for Barbara.

After easily gaining the favorability of Phoenix and the others, Lynn had another idea, which was to recruit this Barbara in front of him to his command.

After all, teleportation ability, Lynn was also a bit envious.

What was the difference between this and the magic portals of those arcane mages?

"I believe you won't deceive me, Mr. Hall!"

Looking at Lynn Hall, Barbara said seriously, "Adam Morris was teleported to Europe by me, Mr. Hall, I will take you and these people to find him."

"But can you allow me to rest for one night? My mental energy hasn't recovered yet after sending him to Europe last time."

Seeing that Barbara was very sincere and didn't seem to be deceiving him, Lynn Hall nodded and said, "Of course you can."

"But before that, you and your father need to be temporarily held separately. Once we catch Adam, I will let you go."

"However, to prevent you from secretly escaping with your father, I will hold you in different places!"

"That's fine!"

Hearing Lynn say that, Barbara nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Hall!"

Signaling Alice to take Barbara to the car, Lynn Hall glanced at the time: "Quitting time has arrived, Coulson, this Doctor is yours!"

"No problem, but you want to recruit this girl named Barbara?"

"I have that thought, why, do you also have a thought?"

"Of course!"

Facing Lynn's inquiry, Coulson also did not hide, "S.H.I.E.L.D. needs this kind of talent, someone who can teleport people to any location on Earth!"

"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to snatch her from me!"

After speaking, Lynn Hall smiled and turned to leave.
