When the Howards heard this, they found it hard to accept. Their hearts ached.
After all, they still treated Lauren as their child. Moreover, Jordan had married Lauren and was their son-in-law. Lauren’s child was equivalent to the Howard family’s child. They were also very sad that their child was gone just like that.
While the others were crying sadly, Martin sighed and said to Jordan, “Jordan, come and sit down. I have something to discuss with you.”
Seeing Martin’s solemn expression, Jordan knew that he had something bigger to worry about.
After Jordan sat down, Martin sat beside him and said to him, “Jordan, the country is very concerned about Lauren’s matter and takes it very seriously. In the past, we were very close to the Steeles. You’ve always provided the country with the most advanced technology. Even if Victoria and the mutants appear, we believe that you can handle it well and trust you completely.
“But the situation has changed. Lauren has become a person from another world. Even your abilities come from her. The government is extremely worried about this. We’re worried about the safety of the entire country and even the entire Earth.”
Jordan noticed that there was something black on Martin’s ear. It should be something like a listening device. It seemed that someone was listening to Jordan and Martin’s conversation on the other side.
Jordan did not say anything and let Martin continue.
Martin said, “Lauren’s identity is too special. If she’s really from another world, then it’s very likely that she has already exposed the coordinates of our Earth. Our Earth is in danger of being destroyed by advanced civilizations at any time. In addition, Lauren is too capable and she’s in the capital now. Whether she’s friend or foe, we don’t dare to jump to conclusions. We’re also very worried about this.
“We’ve already sent someone to contact Lauren. We hope that she can accept our invitation and meet the top experts to discuss in detail so that we can understand her world. Perhaps this is an opportunity for our Earth. Perhaps our Earth can also be upgraded, and our country will be the first country to enjoy the benefits of a favorable position. From then on, we can be ahead of other countries!”
Jordan nodded. “Your idea shows foresight. The current Lauren is no longer the Lauren of the past. The Lauren of the past twenty years is still in her memories, but that’s not the complete her. She’s… not easy to approach now. She’s very cold to me. Have you ever thought about what you would do if Lauren ignored you?”
Martin paused for a moment and replied, “If Ms. Lauren insists on not coming into contact with us, we will treat Ms. Lauren as the highest threat on Earth. We will use all means to subdue Ms. Lauren!”
Martin called his granddaughter Ms. Lauren, and his eyes were already a little cold!
Jordan could tell that they already wanted to kill her! Jordan immediately became nervous.
“Are you planning to kill Lauren? She’s your granddaughter!”
…
The Steele Hospital.
The crowd nearby had long been dispersed. Not only the crowd nearby, but the entire capital was actually quickly dispersing.
High-speed rail, planes, and high-speed buses were constantly transporting passengers.
Some of them were being transported away, while others took the initiative to escape. Those who were smart knew that with such a phenomenon in the capital and so many mutants appearing, staying in the capital was definitely not a safe choice.
Of course, there were also many who had watched the news or live broadcasts. Those who wanted to come to the capital were either curious or came here to look for opportunities.
However, all of them were blocked. The roads to the capital were blocked, and flights and high-speed rail were all stopped.
Now, a large number of people were leaving the capital. No one wanted to go in.
At this moment, Lauren slowly walked out of the hospital. The afternoon sun shone on her beautiful face. Coupled with her fairy-like attire, her temperament was even more amazing.
Suddenly, Lionel ran forward. “Ms. Lauren, I’m Lionel. Do you still remember me?”
Lauren glanced at Lionel and knew who he was. “What’s the matter?”
Lionel said, “Can you follow me somewhere? We have many important things to discuss with you!”
Lauren said coldly, “I don’t have time. I won’t go even if I did have the time.”
Lionel hurriedly asked again, “Ms. Lauren! I know you’re no longer the same as before, but in the past twenty years, as a girl from the capital, we’ve always maintained a good relationship with you. The situation now is complicated, and there are too many things we don’t understand. If you don’t want to meet, why don’t you go to the National Space Administration first?”
Lauren shook her head and left, ignoring Lionel.
Lionel sighed and said softly, “Do it.”
Since Lauren didn’t give them face, in order to take the initiative, they could only strike first.
Soon, dozens of people in special forces uniforms surrounded Lauren with guns in their hands.
The leader berated Lauren, “Woman in front, listen up. You’ve violated the rules of our Capital. Help us with the investigation immediately. Otherwise, we’ll shoot!”
Lauren glanced at him and said calmly, “Guns? Where I come from, children don’t even use guns.”
Bang bang bang bang…
Bullets shot towards Lauren like raindrops.
The bullets from four directions hit Lauren at the same time. However, Lauren only spun and waved her hands and all the bullets returned the way they came.
“Arghh!”
With screams, the people who attacked Lauren were hit by the bullets they fired, and a few of them died on the spot!
Rumble rumble.
Lauren wanted to get up and fly away, but more than ten fighter jets flew over from the sky.
Without saying anything, a fighter jet fired a missile at Lauren!
BOOM!
The missile was very fast. After being launched, it directly detonated on the ground, causing sparks to fly everywhere. Under the raging flames, many soldiers on the ground walked to where Lauren was. They were searching for her corpse.
However, after searching the vicinity, they didn’t see Lauren’s body at all.
Of course, they didn’t find Lauren either.
“Lauren is missing. Search the entire city for her immediately!”
At that moment, Lauren had already used her spatial teleportation ability to arrive at her and Jordan’s house.
When she arrived at the villa, Lauren realized that there was no one else there. She looked at her white dress and realized that it was already dirty. She wanted to change.
Moving toward the closet in her bedroom, she raised a hand to open it. As soon as she did, she froze.
