The ground in front of Cyclops exploded instantly. Cyclops, in his panic, didn't have super speed and could only barely dodge the attack.
But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, a second wave of attacks descended. Cyclops rolled and scrambled, dodging it in a rather undignified manner.
The third wave of Heat Vision whistled past, narrowly missing the slick, shiny hair on Cyclops's head, giving him a new hairstyle.
"Chen Xi, stop! You're about to kill him!"
Jean Grey shouted at Chen Xi, full of joy and pride.
Look! This is my man!
About to kill me?
I... I... damn it...!!
Cyclops felt the humiliation of a rival and the double blow from his goddess. Am I really that bad?
Shame and anger mixed together, Cyclops simply pretended to faint. At least he could salvage some face, right? Just standing there waiting to be publicly humiliated?
"Alright then."
Chen Xi shrugged and retracted his Heat Vision. After such a blow, he believed Scott wouldn't shamelessly pester Jean Grey anymore.
Watching Chen Xi easily defeat Scott, many Mutants were like they were dreaming. Who would have thought that Chen Xi, who was active in front of the whole world, was a Mutant?
And he was so powerful that they didn't even understand how strong he was. They could only describe him as unfathomable.
People of great strength are respected wherever they go. Chen Xi had already earned the respect of all the Mutants at this moment.
Their gazes towards Chen Xi were full of awe, and also a sense of pride. After all, the greatest screenwriter of this century was actually one of their own!
This was a dream come true, and they were beyond thrilled. The outcome also greatly excited Charles, who was well aware of Chen Xi's influence.
Thinking about this, he quickly invited Chen Xi to visit the Mansion.
Chen Xi couldn't refuse such an invitation and followed Charles to the Meeting Room. The other Mutants who wanted autographs were glared at by Charles.
"You can get autographs anytime! Why are you causing a ruckus at a crucial moment like this?"
Shadowcat and the others stuck out their tongues and quickly left. They respected the Professor immensely and always listened to him.
In the Meeting Room, Charles, Beast, Jean Grey, and Chen Xi sat down. The entire room was classically decorated, understated, and luxurious. Even the sofas were antiques.
That's how you knew Charles was wealthy. If he didn't have a substantial fortune, how could he support so many Mutants and even fund technological advancements?
When Jean Grey brought over the coffee and slowly sat next to Chen Xi, looking like the perfect wife, Charles couldn't help but feel curious.
"Jean, when did you two get together? You kept this really well hidden!"
In his opinion, this whole thing was just a fantasy. The vast difference in their statuses meant they were practically from different worlds.
Hank was also staring at the two of them, his face full of curiosity, trying to figure it out. Something just didn't seem right.
Jean Grey's face immediately turned red at the mention of this.
She couldn't possibly say it was just now, right? Wouldn't that make her seem too eager, or rather, not demure enough?
"Ahem, it's like this. I met Jean at a Fan Meeting a long time ago. Then I started following her and it took me a lot of effort to finally win her over."
Chen Xi, who was always aware of everything around him, immediately grabbed Jean Grey's restless hand and began his blatant lie...
Wouldn't he have to give his woman face? Of course, he had to protect his woman.
Lying through his teeth was his specialty, and this whole deception thing was really addictive!
"Oh, I see, haha, congratulations, Jean, on meeting such an outstanding man."
Charles also realized, no wonder she never showed interest in Scott, she already had someone else in mind.
"Jean, congratulations."
Hank also offered his sincere blessings from the side. It was difficult for a Mutant to find their true love, and it could only be found within the Mutant community, like picking the lesser of two evils.
"Thank you."
Jean Grey nodded demurely, and at the same time, turned her head gently to glance at Chen Xi, who wouldn't love a man with such high emotional intelligence?
"Oh, right, Jean, how is the investigation into John's disappearance going? Any progress?" Charles asked.
"Uh..."
Jean was a bit speechless. How was she supposed to explain this?
"Professor, John was killed by a mysterious person. I pulled some strings and only found a video of the incident. Wait a moment, I'll go to the car and get the video for you."
Chen Xi quickly took over the conversation. He would take responsibility for this.
As a good man of the new era, how could he let his woman be caught in a difficult situation because of him?
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Chen Xi."
Charles nodded happily. That's why it's important to have connections.
Jean Grey also quickly got up and followed. Only when they were outside did she whisper in disdain, "Are you trying to run away, I'm saying? Where did you even get a video?"
Slap!
Chen Xi immediately raised his hand and slapped her playfully.
"Daring to doubt your man, you deserve it!"
"Ugh! I wouldn't even hit myself."
Jean Grey immediately pouted coquettishly, lightly hitting Chen Xi in return...
"Hehe, so, do you want me to hit you?"
Chen Xi immediately became interested, and asked with a mischievous look.
"Go die, you pervert! Always thinking about bad things."
Jean Grey blushed and retorted, "Aren't you just pretending not to know? Could I even resist?"
"Haha, got it."
Chen Xi laughed triumphantly. Not denying it meant she agreed. It was really interesting to bully a woman as intelligent and mature as her.
After getting into the car, Chen Xi immediately instructed the Red Queen to restore the previously deleted video, then he and Gwen swapped faces.
"You're trying to deceive people again, aren't you? Won't the synthetic video be discovered?" Jean Grey rolled her eyes at him. Could Hank be fooled by such a petty trick?
"Don't worry, the Red Queen is decades ahead. He won't be able to tell the difference with this AI face-swapping technology."
Chen Xi confidently assured her, relying on the fact that they were still in the standard definition era; how could they understand Blu-ray?
"Alright."
Jean Grey also nodded helplessly. She wondered if she had gone mad, actually helping him deceive people. Did women really follow their husbands' lead, no matter what?
