“If we leave Lorna here, something bad might happen to her…”
Having gone through that life-and-death ordeal, the little wolf girl had completely accepted Logan as her father, so she looked at Logan Howlett with anticipation, pleading:
“Besides, she's the only one left of the friends who escaped with me. I really don't want to see her leave me too.”
“So, can she come with us?”
“Uh…” Now it was Logan Howlett's turn to feel troubled.
Although he really wanted to agree to the little wolf girl's request.
But the problem is, he's just a "temp" right now.
Although all his daily expenses, such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, are provided free of charge by the [Hyperspace Group], he really doesn't get paid during this time.
So, how is he going to support the little wolf girl when he gets back? How can he have the leisure to care about others?
Moreover, the group is now showing him great kindness by sending Professor X to a high-end sanatorium to be well-fed and cared for. This is clearly already a great favor.
Then, when he proposed to rescue the little wolf girl, the big boss Karl personally notified the mages of [Kamar-Taj] to open a portal for him, so that he could arrive in time and prevent the tragedy from happening.
So Logan Howlett is now only thinking about repaying the kindness and really doesn't want to cause any more trouble for his boss.
But when he saw the expectant expression on his daughter's little face, his heart, which was as firm as a rock, couldn't help but soften.
After all, this was the first time she had made a request to him.
After thinking about it, Logan Howlett finally compromised helplessly: "I can't be sure if the Boss is willing to take her in, so I can only promise to try… If it fails in the end, don't blame me."
“Yay!!”
The little wolf girl immediately cheered and threw herself into Logan Howlett's arms, and the mutant girl named Lorna secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since escaping from the laboratory, she had embarked on a difficult escape journey with her other companions.
Originally, she thought that after arriving at [Eden], she could end this terrible life and start a new life like a normal person.
But who would have thought that in just a few days, this place, which they regarded as the "last home for mutants", would be destroyed.
And because they had been imprisoned in the laboratory for a long time since they were young, they had no survival skills or social skills other than fighting and killing.
So Lorna simply didn't know where she should go next?
Or rather, where in this world would be willing to accept a mutant like her?
At this moment, Frank walked over and sized up Logan Howlett, saying with a smile: "Logan, congratulations on your successful 'awakening'. You look much stronger now."
“Thank you, Frank.”
Logan Howlett clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, and thanked him sincerely:
“If it weren't for your reminder at that time, I'm afraid I would have died on the hillside just now… You're right, the Boss is really a [Dimensional Demon God].”
Frank showed an expression of 'I have high hopes for you', then waved to him, "Let's go, now that things here have been dealt with, we should return, after all, the journey back is quite long."
Because time was tight when they came, they had to ask Karl for help, so naturally they couldn't trouble their boss again on the return trip.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you some good news.”
After everyone got into the car, Frank turned to look at the little wolf girl and Lorna and said: "I have already reported the situation here to the Boss…
Although Laura is not a member of our [Hyperspace Group], she is Logan's family, so don't worry, the good days of [Arcleigh Genetics] are over, and they will definitely pay the price for their actions."
“I believe that it won't be long before this company will completely disappear, and then no one will come to catch you again.”
“Re… really?”
The little wolf girl and Lorna looked at Logan Howlett with disbelief.
Right now, they only trusted this man.
“Of course.” Logan Howlett nodded with a very determined expression: “After all, the Boss is a god-like existence.”
“What is a god?”
The little wolf girl and Lorna blinked their bright eyes and asked curiously.
“Uh… how should I explain this…”
Logan Howlett scratched his head and looked at Frank for help, as if wanting him to help him explain this "problem".
Frank laughed and shrugged at him, indicating that he couldn't help either, and then, while starting the car, slowly said:
“Also, Logan, the Boss told me to tell you… mutants are people too!!”
Logan Howlett's sturdy body trembled violently when he heard this, and the impact of this sentence on him was no less than the equivalent of a nuclear bomb being released.
“Mutants… are people too…”
Logan Howlett subconsciously kept repeating this sentence, until after a moment, a look of unprecedented ease appeared on his face.
This lone wolf, accustomed to loneliness and pathos, finally saw the hope in his life and found his belonging.
That's right, from today onwards, the [Hyperspace Group] is his new home!!!

[Sokovia].
“How is the acquisition of [Arcleigh Genetics] going?”
Karl asked Selena on the other end of the phone.
“Boss, don't worry, the relevant matters for the acquisition have been settled.”
Selena reported in a brisk tone: “My people are currently negotiating with the relevant scientific researchers in the laboratory, selecting those who are willing to join, and those who are unwilling to join will sign a strict confidentiality agreement with us.”
“At least those mutant gene samples sealed in the secret vault may take some time to crack, because only Sander Rice knows the secret.”
“But please rest assured, Boss, as soon as the cracking is successfully completed, I will immediately send someone to send those gene samples to Dr. Stern's laboratory.”
A look of satisfaction flashed in Karl's eyes. Selena's decisive style was becoming more and more like a vampire queen. After a pause, he continued to ask:
“Has the evidence of [.]'s planned [Mutant Extinction Plan] been found?”
“Not yet.” Selena answered truthfully: “However, I checked the memories of several old employees and have already discovered a clue from them. I will personally follow up on this matter next.”
“Very good, you've worked hard.” Karl couldn't help but praise.
After receiving Frank's report, he immediately asked Selena to start the relevant matters of "acquiring" [Arcleigh Genetics].
The reason why Karl was so concerned was naturally because he had taken a fancy to the rich mutant gene samples in their hands, which were used to clone various mutant experimental subjects.
From a certain point of view, the [X gene] in mutants is also a special [extraordinary factor]?
Presumably, sending these blood samples carrying the [X gene] to Samuel Stern should be helpful to the progress of the [Super God Serum], right?
In addition, Karl also wanted to take the opportunity to dig up some black material about [.].
When the "value" of [.] is completely squeezed dry by him one day, he will directly throw out this fatal evidence.
Presumably, Nick Fury's expression on that black ghost's face will be very wonderful at that time, right?
“[Egypt]'s good show should be about to begin too… If Tzeentch's plan goes well, then after devouring the [Egyptian Gods], the [Hyperspace] will usher in a true rise!!"

A look of anticipation couldn't help flashing in Karl's eyes.

……
[Egypt].
In an underground tomb.
After using the shape of the [Eye of Horus] to analyze the terrain of the entire tomb, [Moon God] Khonshu's agent Marc Spector… no, the personality occupying this body now is Steven Grant, who is proficient in Egyptian history.
Finally found the location of the core tomb chamber, looking at the murals on the surrounding walls, he said excitedly: "My God, we must be the first people to enter this pharaoh's tomb…"
“That's Thutmose II, that's Nefertiti… Marc, if I'm not mistaken, this will definitely be a super tomb!!"
However.
Marc Spector's mind was obviously not on this, and he questioned indignantly: "So, you kissed Layla underwater just now?"
Finally, he did not forget to add angrily, "She is my wife"!
“Then what do you want?” Steven Grant shrugged helplessly: “At that time, underwater, if we didn't exchange breaths like that, both of us would have drowned… Besides, I wasn't the one who took the initiative.”
“Hmph!!”
Marc Spector simply didn't believe such nonsense. You kid clearly wanted to cuckold me!
But when he thought that after all, the body was his own, so this shouldn't be considered being cuckolded by his second personality, the anger in his heart subsided a bit.
“Then you should have taken the opportunity to tell her the reason why I have been deliberately alienating her over the years, right?”
“Uh… sorry, I didn't think of that at the time.”
A look of embarrassment appeared on Steven Grant's face. Before his main personality could get angry, he quickly changed the subject:
“Look, the cultural relics buried in this tomb are simply exquisite… Wow, look at this, the text on this golden coffin… Wait a minute, if the deeds of the tomb owner's life recorded on it are all true, then this wouldn't be left behind by the [Kingdom of Macedonia], would it?”
“But the problem is, there's no reason for the coffin of that super emperor who once unified [Greece], conquered [Egypt], and destroyed the [Persian Achaemenid Dynasty] to appear here?!”
Marc Spector, who knew nothing about archeology and history, asked with some doubt: “What exactly are you talking about? Whose tomb is this?”
“Marc, if I'm not mistaken, I think what we are seeing now is likely to be the legendary lost tomb of Alexander the Great… and Ammit's [Ushabti figurine] is likely to be hidden in this coffin.”
“Then what are you waiting for? Open it quickly?” Marc Spector couldn't help but urge.
Steven Grant reached out and wanted to push open the lid of the golden coffin, but suddenly stopped, saying with a look of trepidation: “But my intuition warns me that it's best not to open this thing.”
“Idiot, do you want Arthur Harrow, that evil god believer, to find Ammit first?”
“Okay, you're right.”
Steven Grant adjusted his breathing, and then began to push the lid of the golden coffin hard.
With a dull rubbing sound, the heavy coffin lid was finally pushed open a little, revealing a mummy wrapped in burial cloths.
On the mummy's body, there was an [Eye of Horus] made of gold, as well as a golden short axe and a golden shield.
“Wait a minute, where is Ammit's [Ushabti figurine]?” Marc Spector asked in confusion.
“This…”
Steven Grant thought for a while, and said somewhat uncertainly: “I think if someone really wanted to hide Ammit's [Ushabti figurine] forever, they would definitely find a place that even tomb robbers would never think of, such as…”
Steven Grant's brain was spinning rapidly, his eyes moving back and forth in the coffin, and finally stopped on the mummy's head.
Accurately speaking, it should be in the mummy's mouth!
“If Alexander the Great had also been a believer of Ammit, then it might be here…”
While speaking, Steven Grant reached out and forcefully pried open the mummy's mouth, and then, enduring the stench, successfully pulled out a small statue with a crocodile head.
“Haha, I guessed right, this is the [Ushabti figurine] that seals Ammit's consciousness and power!!”
At this time, Marc Spector's voice sounded again, “Don't be complacent, we have to leave here quickly, it will be too late if Arthur Harrow catches up.”
But as soon as he finished speaking, a slightly smug voice came from the tomb door, “Sorry to interrupt your self-talk, I'm already here!!”
Then Arthur Harrow was seen leading a group of subordinates into the tomb.
“Marc? Or Steven?”
Arthur Harrow approached step by step with his double-headed crocodile cane, saying with a slightly bewitching voice:
“Believe me, I still remember the first time I woke up after Khonshu was gone, the feeling of tranquility with no one whispering in my ear was like a rebirth…”
“And you, my friend, you are free now, from now on you can live for yourself, you don't need to wade into this muddy water for Khonshu at all now.”
“Now… you are facing a very important decision, whether to hand over Ammit's [Ushabti figurine] to me and withdraw safely… or continue to stubbornly believe in that evil god and die here?”
