Psylocke's imagination runs wild

The attacker was a woman with an Asian face and long black hair.

She was tall, around six feet, towering over Li Chen's two maids by who knew how much. Her face was cold, and the darkness didn't affect her.

"You know me?"

Psylocke asked in a raspy voice.

"White Queen asked me to spare your life."

"I agreed," Li Chen said calmly. "I won't kill you, but I won't let you remain at large."

"What do you mean?"

Psylocke frowned.

"You'll become my plaything."

Li Chen had no fondness for the Japanese, and he couldn't understand the mentality of Japanophiles at all.

Now that he had the chance, he had to get his revenge, even if he could only take it out on Psylocke.

Psylocke flew into a rage at his words. Li Chen meant to treat her like a pet.

No one with a normal personality could accept that.

"Then you can try!"

She spoke through gritted teeth and attacked even more fiercely.

Her mutant ability was telepathy, though it wasn't as powerful as White Queen's or Professor X's.

But she could use mental energy to create psionic weapons, like the katana she had conjured earlier. Combined with her fighting skills and ninjutsu, that made her an exceptionally powerful ninja even within The Hand.

Now she brought every skill she had to bear.

She suddenly flashed behind Li Chen and launched a sneak attack with darts.

Her darts were conjured too. They looked like a ninja's hidden weapons, but were even more dangerous.

Yet when they struck Li Chen's hand, they rang out with a metallic clang, as though they had hit metal rather than flesh and blood.

"Shit, what's going on?"

Psylocke was stunned.

She hadn't been to the movies lately. If she had gone to the cinema to see Starlight Pictures' "Superman: Man of Steel," she probably wouldn't have been so shocked.

Seeing Li Chen close in, she instinctively tried to flash away.

But she suddenly discovered that the world seemed to have slowed down.

No, the world hadn't slowed down. Li Chen was faster than she was, and the instant she moved, he seized her by the throat.

Psylocke struggled with all her might, but after a crisp smack, she immediately became obedient.

She looked at Li Chen in shame and anger. A fight was a fight, so why was he hitting her backside?

No one had ever humiliated her like this before.

She was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it. She didn't want to die.

The Japanese were all quite adept at clinging to life.

"Time to leave."

Li Chen grabbed her and sped straight outside, then shot into the sky under cover of night.

Despite such a major incident, The Hand never considered calling the police.

There wasn't even the slightest sign of panic in the hotel above. It was as though nothing had happened.

But behind the scenes, The Hand had suffered heavy losses, and its people were furious.

The potbellied middle-aged man immediately reported what had happened.

The Hand's headquarters was furious, but Li Chen had also achieved his objective.

"Don't act rashly until we've learned what we're up against."

In this world, strength called the shots. Li Chen's display of power had cowed The Hand, leaving them unwilling to retaliate rashly despite their losses.

But a grudge had been formed.

Psylocke's thoughts were in turmoil.

Li Chen had carried her out like a toy, then whoosh, flown into the sky. She had never experienced anything like it.

Under the circumstances, she began to talk herself into accepting it.

She had originally wanted to end it all, but at that moment, her Japanese nature asserted itself. She couldn't bring herself to die, so she decided to endure the humiliation and bear the burden.

No matter how Li Chen treated her, she would put up with it and find a chance to get revenge!

Just like that, she was soon brought back to Li Chen's manor.

Only then did Psylocke get a clear look at Li Chen's face. So... handsome.

No matter what kind of woman she was, she liked handsome men. That was the importance of character modeling.

Being handsome earned a man points with them.

As a result, Psylocke, who had been having some trouble adjusting, instead began to feel a faint sense of anticipation.

It was as though some attribute had been awakened.

Li Chen assigned her a room. "Stay here for now. Don't even think about running away, or else..."

Hearing Li Chen's threat, Psylocke put on an arrogant front. "I won't run. Though if I wanted to, no one could stop me."

Li Chen looked at her teasingly. With your strength, you think you could get away?

Psylocke grew angry at his look, and in her anger, got a little angry.

As she had said, she would endure the humiliation and bear the burden.

Only then did Li Chen take a look at Psylocke's outfit. It was a classic purple, skin-tight, one-piece ninja suit. He couldn't tell how she had managed to get into it.

Compared with her somewhat large frame, the ninja suit was far too small.

"Do you wear that every day, or...?"

Psylocke said in shame and anger, "Only when I fight."

"Then from now on, you'll wear it every day while you're here."

"I'll also prepare a few things for you," Li Chen declared forcefully. "From now on, I'm your master."

"What gives you the right?"

Psylocke "glared" at Li Chen, but she wasn't as defiant inside as she appeared.

"Because you're my spoils of war."

Psylocke had nothing to say, seemingly accepting his description of her as spoils of war.

As a woman from the island nation, she was quite accepting of such things.

Li Chen didn't provoke her any further, instead letting her talk herself into accepting it.

In that regard, Psylocke wouldn't disappoint him.

He shut Psylocke in the room, as though isolating her from the world. She stared blankly at the door for several minutes before resigning herself to her fate and sitting down.

From that point on, her life would undergo earth-shaking changes.

"Master."

As soon as Li Chen came out, he saw Ram and Rem waiting outside the door.

The two little maids asked curiously, "Who is that woman?"

"She's my spoils of war."

"I'll leave her to you from now on," Li Chen said with a smile. "Give her a proper education and teach her how to be a perfect maid."

Ram and Rem remained expressionless. Ram said, "If that's what you want, Master, you could just turn to Rem."

Rem's face turned red instantly, and she looked at Ram in disbelief. "Ram, Ram, what are you saying?"

Ram ignored her sister. "But your will is our direction, Master. We'll give her a proper education."

Rem had no choice but to nod, her face red.

Li Chen stroked their hair. "She might be a little naughty."

"That's all right. I'm the best at dealing with people like her."

Ram didn't seem concerned.

Many people had trouble adjusting at first, but they would soon resign themselves to their fate.

In their original world, being a noble's maid was a comfortable life many people dreamed of.

So Psylocke should be grateful to Master.

Li Chen went to prepare a few little items for Psylocke.

He wanted her to accept her new identity in both body and mind.
