Chapitre 15: Training and more Subtle Maneuvers
"You can control the object? Is it mind control?" Dotty asked looking at SuWan and threw the dagger aside.
"I'm going to be able to do more than that." SuWan smiled and sat down beside Dotty. "Now we can talk about us."
"You should have a way to contact your organization and send a message, right? You can feed back the news that Shaw is going to set up the Hellfire Club, soliciting mutants, or you can say some news about me. Let them know that your mission is not a failure, it just had some slight modifications, it took you longer to infiltrate and lurk." After a pause, SuWan continued, "Remember to tell them that you need some intelligence to gain our trust, and I believe they will arrange it."
"You're betraying Shaw, right?" Dotty asked.
SuWan looked dumbfounded, "Betrayed? You aren't thinking so naively that we are really partners?"
"I see, you are just using him, just as he is using you." said Dotty confirming her suspicion.
"We are using each other, in the end it all depends on who is superior."
"So, what about me?" Dotty continued to ask, "What is your purpose for me?"
"You." SuWan said straightforwardly with a smile.
Dotty shook her head and said, "You just said I was naive. Do you think I would believe that you did all of this only for me, just for a woman?"
"Why not? It's normal for you to be beautiful and in good shape. It's also normal for you to be attractive. And you're a Soviet agent. You have excellent abilities in all aspects. Whether you are a woman or an assistant, you can be perfect and competent. I believe no one can resist your charms?"
Dotty's eyes changed for a moment, but she quickly recovered and shook her head as usual: "It's not enough. You're an ambitious person, and I think you have a purpose in everything you do. It's just not enough!"
"I want to keep you by my side forever." said SuWan.
Dotty frowned, looking intently at his face for anything more she could gleam from his expression or body language.
"I said, my name is Mr. Immortal. Time can't erode me, but it can erode you. ... There should be an anti-aging serum in your organization."
"It turns out you want this!" Dotty couldn't help but be shocked, never expecting that he had even planned for this. She has heard of this serum, which was researched using a lot of manpower and material resources in the organization, and the overall amount was extremely scarce. As for the formula, no one knew it. Even fewer people in the organization could get a dose, but only a limited number had even heard of this thing!
'How does he know the organization so well? Even this top secret thing was known.'
"If you want this, I'm afraid you miscalculated. I don't know or understand it, and I'm not qualified to come into contact with it. I can't help you achieve your goals!" Dotty said.
"It's not a problem," SuWan smiled disapprovingly. "It doesn't matter if this little ploy fails, I still have other ways to get my hands on something with similar effects, but it is relatively more troublesome. Well, before those two come back, you can make contact with the people in your organization."
"Aren't you afraid I'll never come back?" Dotty stood up and walked to the door, asking hesitantly while turned around.
"Go and come back soon!" SuWan waved his hands casually.
Dotty's feelings felt complicated. She didn't know if it was because he thought she would always be with him, or because of some blind form of trust so he just waved her goodbye.
These were emotions she had never experienced in the 'Red Room'.
Not long after Dottie left, the servant had returned with Riptide. Looking at the him, he had practically changed to the point where he was barely recognizable from before, SuWan briefly talked about their circumstances and told him some basic information and his own identity. Looking out the window at the sunset, Riptide was a bit awed by this new information about himself and his new boss. At the same time he had a longing for his future life that SuWan described for him.
They had a room opened for Riptide to have a good rest, and then he said a few instructions to the servant he wanted, first for him to contact Shaw, to tell him he found Riptide, the other was to tell him that he will not be coming back immediately, and will be going to find other mutants as soon as possible, then bring them all back together.
SuWan saw the others reply soon after his own message was conveyed. Shaw first expressed satisfaction and excitement at finding Riptide so quickly, and wished SuWan to find other mutants as soon as possible, and as for the Riptide following SuWan's side temporarily there was no objections.
Although it sounded okay, in the wording SuWan could detect a sense of superior and subordinate feelings, as if the leader was affirming, agreeing with his work arrangements. For this kind of careful thinking and small tricks of Shaw, SuWan didn't take it to heart and he even gave a smirk to these petty antics.
It was not so easy to confirm the primary and secondary positions in this way.
'I'm looking for someone, and they're following me now. Whom will they listen to afterwards?' Of course, if you are a soft persimmon and could be pushed around, as long as Shaw dealt with himself, then this problem would naturally be solved. Unfortunately, he was not a soft persimmon that could be squashed!
After the servant left, SuWan picked up his coin and continued to practice.
He didn't notice how time slipped buy practicing before Dotty returned and he stopped.
There was no special reaction from him, as if she should have returned, she took off her coat, sat beside SuWan, and talked about her experience when contacting Leviathan.
