Looking at the black and white photos of men in the newspaper, Catherine's father looked at Lin Jue with a wry smile in disbelief.

"Father, I'm sorry. Actually, I did something wrong today and was... fired!"

Catherine worked hard to suppress the grievances in her heart and told everything that happened today, including what she saw and heard when she went to Evernight Castle.

The crisp words were a bit hoarse. As Catherine spoke, tears welled up from her eyes involuntarily. Aisha rushed forward and hugged her daughter. She did not blame Catherine at all, but instead blamed herself for not giving her daughter a stable life. Their family doesn't understand the pain of living under someone else's roof.

"I'm sorry, sir, no... Your Majesty the Duke, it's my short-sightedness... I"

Lin Jue stopped Catherine's father's somewhat incoherent apology.

"It's okay, uncle. I have deep sympathy for your daughter's matter. Unlike Miss Avril, I have a different view of Catherine. In my opinion, she is a kind-hearted girl."

"How can my daughter be so virtuous? She has now lost her status as a servant of the Earl's Mansion..."

Catherine's father looked a little pale. After hearing the bad news, his mind was already in chaos. His mind was full of the upcoming rent, population census, and where should he flee? Waiting for a bunch of miscellaneous questions, he completely forgot about Lin Jue's previous attempt to recruit Catherine.

Seeing her parents in a panic, Catherine felt sour and helpless in her heart. She looked at Lin Jue with pleading eyes, hoping that Lin Jue would not care about her father's offense and make the family worse.

"My Lord Duke, you just said that you want to recruit my daughter into your company. Are you serious?"

Despite the pessimism of father and daughter, Elsa's eyes showed hope.

"of course it's true!"

"I don't understand! What ability does my daughter have that can attract your attention? If it's her appearance, I believe that with your identity and status, you will never lack the love of beautiful girls. You even only have a one-time relationship with Catherine. , came to my daughter’s home in person, which is somewhat surprising to us!”

Listening to her mother's words, Catherine was stunned. Even she herself didn't understand why Lin Jue appeared in her home just to recruit her?

Thinking of the scene of the group of noble ladies competing for beauty, she never imagined that Lin Jue would take a fancy to her. She was just the most unknown person among the servants.

"Haha, are you surprised by my identity as a duke? He is obviously just an Asian, but he stands above countless people in the empire where the sun never sets."

Lin Jue settled for the next best thing. This time he was recruiting his first superpower, so he couldn't help but ignore him.

In addition, the person he wanted to recruit was far from as simple as she seemed on the surface.

Phantom Cat, a superpower who appears in the X-Men series, has the ability to travel through everything in the world, and she can also control the objects she touches and transform them into that form of nothingness. Immune to all attacks except certain mysterious abilities.

In X-Men Days of Future Past, people's thoughts can even be transported to the past. In the original show, Wolverine relied on the phantom cat to travel to the past and save the world.

It can be said that the girl in front of him has incredible abilities, and this ability is what Lin Jue must win over to his side no matter what.

"As an outsider, I suddenly had supreme wealth and status. All of this was extremely simple for me. Those nobles flattered me, even the royal family was no exception. That's because I was not mortal!"

"Not a mortal?"

Catherine and her parents stared at each other. They were a little suspicious of Lin Jue's mental state in front of them.

However, the next change in the scene made them all look horrified, and Catherine even pulled her brother behind her.

I saw Lin Jue slowly taking out a golden pistol from his side. He looked at the Catherine family with a smile. The next moment, with the trigger pulled, when Aisha was almost fainting, the bullet hit Lin Jue. Feeling palm.

He slowly placed the bullet-embedded palm in front of Catherine and others. In their eyes, which looked like monsters, the bullet that had not penetrated the palm and was embedded in the flesh slowly fell out on its own. Immediately, the ferocious bloody mouth healed quickly.

"you……"

Catherine's father pursed his lips. At this time, his throat was a little dry and his voice was a little stuttered. The scene in front of him simply overturned his three views.

Lin Jue, on the other hand, looked at Catherine, who looked a little strange, with a smile.

"You're not alone, Catherine!"

Some meaningful words made Catherine's parents slowly turn their eyes to their daughter.

They still don't understand that if the noble Grand Duke Yongye falls in love with his daughter, then she must also possess some extremely unique ability.

"Catherine? Do you also possess some strange ability?"

Catherine's father seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were shocked, and he looked at his daughter with a complicated expression in a daze.

He suddenly thought that when they were evading the pursuit of German soldiers, the four members of their family were not harmed in the rain of bullets. Before, they had always felt that they were lucky and had been blessed by the Lord, but now... Combined with Lin Juefei Unlike ordinary abilities, this caused them to have wild thoughts.

Unlike Catherine's father, Elsa hugged her daughter tightly. No matter what her daughter became, she would still be her daughter.

"How did you see that..."

Catherine was a little uneasy and looked directly at Lin Jue, who always had a smile on his face. She thought that since she led her family to Great Britain safely, she had never used her abilities again, and there was no chance of being exposed.

She was a little afraid that Lin Jue would make her story public. Ordinary people in this society could not accept the existence of those who were different from ordinary people. She had heard with her own ears that a girl who seemed to have extraordinary abilities was burned to death as a witch. things.

"I have no ill will towards you, I just admire your ability and character. If you are willing to join my team, I can give you wealth that ordinary people can't imagine. All the problems your family encounters are just a word in front of me. That’s it. Of course, if you really don’t want to, I’m also willing to buy it, as long as you don’t resist..."

Ignoring what Lin Jue said, Catherine nervously asked what she would need to do if she joined. Lin Jue was the only mutant she had ever encountered. In this predicament, he was like a life-saving straw. She did not He didn't dislike Lin Jue's words, and even felt a little secretly happy.

A reverie that was originally hidden in her heart could not help but come out again. She thought of the girls she once looked up to vying for the first place, and that strange thought took root in her heart.
