Randall looked at Victoria seriously and said, “Victoria, what I’m about to tell you is a world-cla.s.s secret. It’s an answer that countless people have spent countless lives wanting to know. I treat you as one of my own so I can tell you. But you must remember not to tell anyone. Otherwise, you might be killed!”
Hearing this, Victoria also became nervous. “Yes, I won’t tell anyone.”
Randall nodded. “Back then, Shaun and his wife knew that I was from the secret Steele family, so they deliberately got close to me. At that time, they wanted to control a secret family from behind the scenes. They were American so they naturally thought of the Steele family first.
“Of course I didn’t let him do that. Besides, he knows very well that my father is not an ordinary person. He can’t control him easily. But I admired Shaun’s spell abilities very much and wanted to figure out how he obtained them, so I pretended to be friends with him. After that, he found his next target. It was the Schmid family. He asked me to contact them on his behalf.
“Speaking of which, I’m really sorry about Tom Schmid and his wife. At that time, it was indeed because of me that Shaun and his wife successfully got to know them and then controlled them for more than a decade. If not for Jordan’s appearance, I’m afraid the Schmid family would still be under the control of Shaun and his wife.”
!!Victoria listened carefully. She had heard a little about this matter.
It was Jordan who had unraveled the secret of the Schmid family being controlled, while he was trying to save Lota. He ended up provoking Shaun.
Randall continued, “I helped Shaun then, but when he saw that I was useless, he wanted to kill me. Shaun didn’t do it himself. Instead, he asked his wife to do it. Perhaps in his view, as I don’t have any special abilities, his wife alone was more than enough to settle me.
“That night, I almost died at his wife’s hands. Clara thought that she had successfully killed me, but she didn’t know that I had been guarding against her and Shaun. I had a friend secretly watching over me at all times. That night, after Clara left, my friend immediately appeared and saved me.
“Ever since then, I’ve pretended to be dead and disappeared from the world. I wandered around, preparing to find a random woman in the countryside to live an ordinary life and be a person with no worries…”
Victoria also knew that Randall had been in a very intense “power struggle” with his brother, Rowan, who was also Jordan’s father. Jordan also said before that his uncle was a very ambitious person.
She guessed that after Randall almost died at Shaun’s hands, he had an epiphany and stopped pursuing fame and fortune.
Actually, in Victoria’s opinion, with Randall’s impressive capabilities, his outstanding family background and handsome face, it would be a pity for him to marry an ordinary country girl.
Randall continued. “But somehow, I ended up at Mount Denali after traveling to the north region, and ended up discovering a shocking secret! There’s an immortal lake in Mount Denali. It’s really not an exaggeration to call it an immortal lake. It really seems to have immortal techniques that can give ordinary people extraordinary abilities! Shaun’s father and uncle obtained their spell abilities by bathing in this immortal lake!”
Victoria looked a little incredulous after hearing this. Could there really be immortal techniques in this world?
However, judging from Shaun’s abilities, their Handley family’s spells were not immortal techniques. Immortal techniques were probably more powerful and profound. The Handleys just had some special abilities.
Victoria asked curiously, “Can everyone obtain superpowers after bathing in the immortal lake?”
Randall shook his head. “No, the lake will determine if the person is qualified to obtain superpowers. If so, it will give the person a special ability exclusive only to him. If not, it will devour the person alive.”
Victoria covered her mouth. “If one enters this lake, they will either obtain superpowers or die?”
Randall nodded. “Yes, either become extraordinary or end up dead. However, with the help of my powerful team, we can save the person before the lake swallows them. You don’t have to worry about that.”
Victoria was stunned. “Me… worried? Uncle Randall, I… I didn’t mean that.”
Randall smiled. “Victoria, you don’t have to hide your desire. Anyone who knows such a magical place will want to try and see if they have the luck to obtain superhuman abilities. I’m the Chief of the Mutant Tribe. That immortal lake is completely under my control. You’re my nephew’s wife, so of course I have to give you this opportunity.”
Victoria was very grateful. She knew that such an opportunity was something that countless people fought for. It was something that countless rich people in the world were willing to pay for even if they had to sacrifice all their a.s.sets.
“Mutant Tribe? Chief?”
Randall smiled and said, “Yes, I call the people who obtained extraordinary abilities after being recognized by the lake as mutants. They are all extraordinary. I’ve established and expanded the Mutant Tribe. My goal is to let the Mutated Tribe rule the world. We should be the most n.o.ble people in the world. Those who have not received the approval of the immortal lake are mere mortals. Ordinary people are not worthy to lead this world!”
Victoria finally understood why she felt that Randall had a domineering aura that she had never experienced before.
So, Randall wanted to rule the world!
Moreover, he had the ability to do so now!
Since she was a young girl, Victoria had always admired capable men. Now, she admired Randall even more.
Victoria asked, “Uncle Randall, are you also a mutant? Do you have superpowers too?”
Randall smiled. “Of course. If I were an ordinary person, how could I have jumped down more than 10 stories with you and still be safe and sound?”
Victoria said, “I thought you were injected with my husband’s Mirakuru serum.”
Randall laughed. “Haha, I don’t need that.”
After knowing that Randall also had superpowers and was the Chief of the Mutant Tribe, Victoria became even more respectful of him.
Victoria asked, “Are your subordinates all mutants with superpowers?”
Randall nodded. “Yes, they all have extraordinary abilities. They’re all upper-cla.s.s people chosen by the heavens. Other than those from yesterday, there’s another person you should know. She also awakened her superpower at the immortal lake. She’s your ex-sister-in-law, and Jesse’s ex-wife, Yumi.”
