Chapter 611
Shermaine arrived in Summerbank not long after. As soon as she got there, she saw the huge, dark mutant corpse on the ground. This thing was twice as big as a whale.
Henry hadn’t left. He was just about to leave when Shermaine arrived, and she brought Gracie with her.
Gracie wasn’t scared by this bloody and terrifying scene. On the contrary, she looked at the corpse in front of her with interest.
Henry waved at Shermaine. Shermaine asked, “How did this mutant end up in Summerbank?”
“I don’t know, but a black vortex appeared in the sky during the ceremony just now,” Henry said.
After the mutant came out of that black vortex, the black vortex disappeared.
Dave squatted quietly on top of Gracie’s head. He caught a whiff of the residual energy from the black vortex, but couldn’t track it.
At this moment, Shermaine also asked Apocalypse to search for the residual energy of the black vortex. Apocalypse kept detecting and then found that the black vortex had been transferred because there was a problem with Summerbank’s magnetic field.
Henry then asked, “Shermaine, I guess this invasion was man-made.”
“You’re right,” Shermaine replied.
She was sure that the one who summoned this mutant was an enemy of Shirley. There must be people coveting Shirley’s position as queen of the Kingdom of Xyperia. That made everything make sense.
Henry narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything more. He looked at Gracie, then squatted down and said to her, “Gracie, long time no see.”
Gracie looked up and said, “Hello, Henry.”
Henry patted her head. “Your mom might be a bit busy later. How about I take you out to play?”
Gracie didn’t agree right away. Instead, she asked, “Mom, can I?”
“Go ahead,” Shermaine said.
Henry picked Gracie up and then asked, “Gracie, is there any place you want to go?”
Gracie pointed to a science and technology museum in Summerbank and said, “Henry, I want to go there.”
Henry looked at the place and thought, ‘Gracie is totally different from other little girls.’
At this moment, Shirley didn’t go to rest. Instead, she gathered the tech troops to investigate why the black vortex had appeared.
After giving these orders, someone informed her of Shermaine’s visit. So Shirley went to meet Shermaine.
Then she saw Henry smiling as he held Shermaine’s daughter. This changed his deep and cunning demeanor all of a sudden.
His smile became pure. When Henry wasn’t smiling, those eyes always gave people the feeling that he was very scheming.
Henry noticed that Shirley was coming over. Seeing her looking at him, he smiled. But when he saw Edison following behind her, his face turned expressionless.
Gracie also called out, “Shirley, hello.”
Shirley smiled and said, “Gracie, long time no see.”
Gracie nodded. “Shirley, you and my mom can talk. Henry and I are going to the science museum.”
“Okay, have fun,” Shirley said.
Henry took Gracie and left.
After they left, Shirley asked Shermaine, “About this black vortex, can you find out what’s going on?”
“Magnetic field interference. Somebody wants to screw you over,” Shermaine replied casually.
This result didn’t surprise Shirley, because she thought the same. Over the past two years, she had collected the names of many people who wanted her to step down.
Among them, three people drew Shirley’s attention the most. They were all city lords of the main cities, holding great power and military strength.
However, it wasn’t easy to find out who was behind this. They had been lying low for years and wouldn’t expose their flaws easily.
“It’s okay. Even if I’m not around, you can ask Henry for help,” Shermaine thought that if he wanted to, no one here would see through Henry’s schemes.
Hearing this, Shirley smiled. “He seems pretty good. I also owe it to him that I could kill this monster.”
Shermaine said, “It seems you have a good impression of him now. How about reconsidering my previous proposal?”
Shirley was indeed a little wavered. She asked jokingly, “Is he easy to get?”
