"Ahem, Wanda? Lorna?"

Seeing his two daughters staring blankly at the other person, Old Wan felt a little embarrassed and whispered a reminder.

He could understand that young girls of a certain age would naturally be curious about and want to get closer to good-looking men, especially if they hadn't met any outstanding men their age before.

But he should at least maintain some composure. He, Old Man, was once incredibly handsome, perhaps only slightly less so than Wayne, but he never encountered this situation.

Magneto attributed the current situation to "his daughter not having seen any handsome men," never considering that "he wasn't handsome enough when he was young."

Before doubting yourself, try to doubt others first—that's Magneto's life motto!

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Coming to her senses, Wanda immediately regained her composure and extended her right hand to Wayne with utmost propriety. "In any case, Mr. Scott, thank you for choosing to believe us."

She knew how the world viewed her and Kenosha, and she also knew what it meant that Wayne chose to come here without hostility when most people wanted to kill her.

"My name is Wanda Maximov, and I am..."

I don't care who you are.

Wayne shook hands briefly with Wanda. "You're a good person, that's all I need to know."

"So don't worry, there's no need to worry about anything unexpected happening before you choose to be the bad guy."

Wayne's message is simple: whether you're a normal human or a mutant, Superman will stand by you as long as you're right.

But Wanda heard it in a completely different way. The only men she had ever been in contact with were her older brother Pietro, Magneto and her stepfather. Apart from that, she hadn't had much contact with men.

But now, an incredibly handsome man of the opposite sex your age, with the whole world wanting to kill you, tells you, "It's all over now, leave the rest to me"...

"Wanda? Wanda?"

"Ah! I think a son and a daughter would be best... No! I mean... Lorna! How can you not greet the guests!"

Wanda immediately pulled her good sister Lorna to her side as a shield, preventing others from seeing her face, which was burning hot and steaming.

Lorna, who was pushed out, immediately blushed deeply, her face flushing hot – clearly she had also recalled her rude behavior just now.

Lorna had no choice but to force herself to remain calm, take two steps forward, hug Wayne, and awkwardly greet him.

"Actually, a handshake would have been fine."

Wayne instinctively gave a warning, and then felt Lorna in his arms spring away as if she had been electrocuted, before hiding behind Wanda, who was still trying to use her as a shield.

Old Wan stroked his chin, looking at his two daughters, then glanced at Wayne without making a sound. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a glint of light appeared in his eyes.

"She's running faster than usual, and her reactions are abnormal. This isn't the usual Lorna!"

"And then there's Wanda. She's always so calm and collected. If you didn't know better, you'd think I was the one who was born later. But now it seems I really am the more mature older brother."

Pietro looked thoughtful, as if he had entered "detective mode".

Wanda gave Pietro a disapproving look, while Lorna, behind her, peeked out and glared at Pietro. Pietro, who was at the bottom of the family hierarchy, awkwardly shrank back.

"Children, you can't be so rude."

Magneto gently scolded his two daughters, not because they were bullying their useless brother, but because he wanted them to be mindful of their image in front of the important guest.

"Hmm~"

Lorna pouted, feeling utterly humiliated. All she wanted to do was leave, but her father's serious expression reminded her that she couldn't act as recklessly as usual.

After hesitating for a moment, Lorna finally stepped out from behind Wanda with difficulty, but kept her head down, looking at the toes of her shoes that were showing in front of her.

Lorna felt like she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of her toes, her mind a complete mess, but then all those chaotic thoughts were suddenly cleared away.

A warm and reassuring hand patted her head and gently rubbed it. "I don't dislike a warm welcome, I'm just not used to it."

Lorna looked up in a daze, her beautiful emerald green eyes trembling slightly—reflecting a perfect face that was even more handsome and alluring than the one seen on television.

Wayne calmly withdrew his right hand, giving the other party a way out. He didn't care that Lorna was staring at him, nor did he care to guess what she was thinking.

Because at that moment he was thinking about something else—it seemed that none of Lao Wan's children had his surname.

After all, Magneto's real name is "Max Eisenhart," while his alias is "Eric Lansher." However, Wanda and Pietro both have the surname "Maximov," and Lorna has the surname "Dane."

But thinking about it carefully, it's not that strange, since Wanda and Pietro's mother isn't Lorna's mother, and Wanda and Pietro's father isn't Lorna's father.

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver take their mother's surname, while Polaris takes her stepfather's surname.

They all have more than one father; one of them is Lao Wan, and the other is his stepfather.

Moreover, their stepfathers are not the same person, and their mothers are not the same person either.

They were not raised by Magneto in the first place, and even though they have been brought back by Magneto, they still retain their original surnames.

"Perfect timing, since you're all awake, why don't you come with us and take Mr. Superman for a walk?"

Magneto was pleased that his two daughters were still able to maintain their habit of going to bed early and waking up early, since it was still very early.

Unlike his eldest son, who is nimble but simple-minded, he didn't get out of bed at all today.

As Wayne was being led around the palace by Magneto, Lorna heard a voice in her ear, "Stop looking, he's already far away."

Lorna was startled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, looking as if "her little secret had been discovered."

But then, as if realizing something, she looked at Wanda beside her with a strange expression.

Wanda felt uneasy under Lorna's gaze, a surge of annoyance welling up inside her. She didn't know what was wrong with her; she just suddenly felt irritable and couldn't help but...

Eager to change the subject, Wanda blurted out, "By the way, Lorna, what did it feel like when you hugged her just now?"

However, Wanda regretted it as soon as she asked the question. What's the difference between this and self-incrimination?

Lorna won't tell anyone, will she? Wayne won't think she's a pervert, will he?!

"How should I put it? Well... the muscles are very firm, the lines are perfect, and they feel great to the touch."

Looking at her own sister, Lorna's eyebrows curved into a smile, her tone carrying a hint of smugness.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Wanda forced a smile through gritted teeth, finding it impossible to look genuinely good. For some reason, she suddenly felt that her dear younger sister looked incredibly irritating.

Noticing her older sister's expression, Lorna paused for a moment, then, as if remembering something, her cool face flushed red, and she casually remarked, "It's like something's holding me up."

"..."

This not only infuriated Wanda, but also stunned Wayne and his two companions who hadn't gone far.

Pietro's mouth formed an "O" shape as he looked at Wayne along with Magneto, who was still somewhat bewildered.

"..."

Wayne frowned slightly. "Why are you all staring at me like that?"

As a seasoned and undefeated warrior, Wayne was no innocent Chu Nan. He was certain that he had not reacted at all; at most, he was just exceptionally gifted. So he would never accept being accused of anything!

"Well, young people, this is all normal, I understand, I understand."

You don't understand anything! I'll pull it out and scare you to tears!

Wayne couldn't be bothered to explain to this old man who wet his shoes in the wind what it meant to be a "man among men".

Pietro wanted to say something more, but Magneto stopped him.

After all, in Magneto's view, everything was developing in a positive direction.

His youngest daughter is about the same age as Superman, and his eldest daughter is only slightly older than Superman—isn't this the best way to win him over?

There's no better son-in-law than Superman, so no matter what his eldest son says, Magneto won't let him interrupt these young people's relationship development.

"Hey Superman, you've pretty much seen the palace."

A sly glint flashed in Magneto's eyes. "How about I have Wanda and Lorna show you around Kenosha?"
