Bah!
If I have no morals, then morals can't hold me hostage!
He planted a seed now, waiting for it to grow into a towering tree.
Tony was currently letting loose, his palladium arc reactor was slowly killing him…
"19%!"
This meant his days were numbered, a matter of time. He probably had at most half a year left to live.
The playboy Tony always invited Chen Xi, but he had no interest in those parties, they were all trash.
One day, Chen Xi was accompanying Jean Grey shopping, Gwen was practicing fighting with Boda, and Wanda went to the company. He was secretly holding hands and dating Jean Grey, as if he were a thief.
Now, he hadn't even completely won over Gwen, and if anyone found out he was two-timing, he'd probably get… well, you know.
But he figured he was practically a steel egg, so nothing too bad could happen to him, right? After all, how could mortal blades harm him?
Chen Xi had used his Heat Vision to shave this morning, and then he'd put on a sharp suit, styling his hair in a mature way.
Why does Superman have a beard? He couldn't understand it. If he could collect Superman's beard, he bet he could make a super awesome weapon.
It had only been a few days, but Jean Grey seemed much more haggard, and her eyes showed her exhaustion.
"Are you having trouble?"
"It's still that Mutant Registration Act. We just want basic human rights, but they want to treat us like animals…"
Jean Grey murmured sadly. Only in front of her lover did she dare to show her vulnerability. In front of others, she had to pretend to be strong and brave…
"Leave everything to me."
Chen Xi tightly held Jean Grey's small hand with his right hand, while his other hand firmly gripped the Ferrari's steering wheel. Isn't that how you drive a Ferrari, one-handed?
When a woman is at her most vulnerable, what else is there to say?
And Chen Xi's words, "Leave it to me," instantly crumbled Jean Grey's fragile psychological defenses.
"I…"
Jean Grey was moved to tears, how could this not make her heart blossom?
"Shh! Don't speak, we don't need to."
Chen Xi quickly covered her mouth with his hand, swallowing the words Jean Grey wanted to say.
"Mmhmm."
Jean Grey finally revealed a captivating smile. At this moment, she completely let down her guard. What more could she want when she had her man to protect her?
Actually, as superheroes, they were really tired. Charles's compromises and appeasement hadn't earned any goodwill; they were merely being used.
Chen Xi had sometimes thought about having her quit the X-Men.
But on second thought, he decided against it. He couldn't arbitrarily interfere with anyone's destiny, like a god high above, manipulating their fate.
He not only wanted to decide the life, death, and fate of every character in the movie world, but he also enjoyed stirring up trouble in Marvel.
However, for his woman, he felt that having her own superhero career to strive for seemed more meaningful.
Currently, he didn't seem to have any urgent matters. Apart from funding Ivan Vanko, everything else had settled.
Roads are taken one step at a time, and meals are eaten one bite at a time.
"Host, a big job has come up, do you want to take it?"
At this moment, the System suddenly spoke.
"Oh, what a big job?"
Chen Xi was curious. Even the System was calling it a big job?
"Ding, Epic-Level Mission triggered: Help mutants completely change their social status, allowing them to enjoy the treatment of human beings."
"Ding, mission rewards are to be determined. Justice Points will be awarded based on the size of the Host's completion of the mission. The minimum reward upon triggering the mission's completion condition is no less than five hundred thousand, and the maximum reward has no upper limit!"
Wow!! Awesome!!
This is like a calf standing on its head, incredible!
Screech!!!
Overwhelmed with excitement, Chen Xi slammed on the brakes without warning, screeching to a halt in the middle of the street…
He was truly stunned by the generous reward; it was an unprecedented, explosive reward!
"You… why are you so suddenly excited?"
Jean Grey, in the passenger seat, would have been thrown forward if she hadn't been wearing a seatbelt. But even with the belt, it still squeezed her assets uncomfortably.
"Cough, cough, it's nothing. I just thought of a way to help you all escape your current predicament, hahaha."
Chen Xi laughed heartily, making up an excuse.
But the others didn't care at all, immediately laying on their horns in a cacophony of sound, spewing a torrent of trash talk…
"Fuck!! So what if you're driving a Ferrari! Fuck!"
"Fuck you!! Does driving a Ferrari mean you own the road, fuck!!"
"Oh! Shit! I hate rich people the most! Fuck!"
"…"
Watching these people spit and froth, their faces contorted with rage, their mouths running wild with insults, Chen Xi shook his head.
Poor sand sculptures, the desert culture of poverty! They can't even vary their insults, truly pitiful…
Look at us, our insults are top-notch and never repeat in ten minutes.
So, to stop them from embarrassing themselves further, Chen Xi decided to help them. After that, they wouldn't be able to curse anymore. He used his telekinesis to form fists, and with each punch, he smashed their teeth to pieces...
In an instant, the group of people, terrified, squeezed their eyes shut and clutched their heads, rolling around on the ground. They were extremely frightened. Were they being punished by God for their offensive language?
"You're a violent maniac..."
Jean Grey rolled her eyes at him, speechless. They'd only cursed at him a couple of times, and it was even his fault. He'd smashed all their teeth. How much would that cost?
Did he know that getting a set of dental implants in New York would cost the same as a BMW 5 Series?
"No, no, no, I didn't do it. It was God."
Chen Xi seriously passed the blame. Anyway, there was no God in the Marvel universe, so he could blame whoever he wanted. If they had the ability, they could cross the universe and come after him!
Then, he'd just watch and see if One-Above-All would deal with them!
"You're such a jerk…"
Even the System couldn't stand it anymore.
"Get lost!"
After telling off the System, Chen Xi immediately flashed a smile and invited Jean Grey, "Want to go to the amusement park? Carousel or Ferris wheel?"
"Carousel and Ferris wheel?"
Jean Grey's vision blurred for a moment upon hearing this…
How distant was that memory?
The last time she rode a carousel and Ferris wheel, she was ten years old.
Back then, she was still so carefree. If that incident hadn't happened, how wonderful it would have been!
"Merry-go-rounds and Ferris wheels."
Chen Xi nodded, his gaze intense as he stared into her eyes, speaking each word deliberately:
"Don't regret the past, because it's already gone. Don't worry about the future, because tomorrow hasn't arrived."
"The only thing we can grasp is today!"
"Don't dwell on the past, don't fear the future, live in the present!"
He knew that Jean's negative emotions were locked deep inside by Charles's mental cage. Didn't that old man understand that it's always better to guide than to block?
When Dark Jean Grey erupted, the dark, negative emotions accumulated over many years directly crushed him...
"Don't dwell on the past, don't fear the future, live in the present..."
Jean Grey murmured Chen Xi's words, the light in her eyes growing increasingly bright. It was a wake-up call!
"Let's go. It's been a while since I've relaxed."
