Chapter 367

"You'll protect me, right?"

Anna was both worried and relieved. If she hadn't met Su Quan hadn't left home with him, the attack by the two men today might have harmed her parents.

Su Quan reached out and pulled her over, saying with a smile, "You're mine, of course I'll protect you! However, I don't want you to just be a pretty face that I need to protect. I have higher expectations for you and hope you can grow up as soon as possible."

"I... I'm still alive?" The Nightcrawler lying on the ground slowly woke up, opened her eyes, and looked around weakly and unsteadily.

"He won't live much longer..." Su Quan sat on the sofa, gently swirling his Red Wine.

The Nightcrawler instantly snapped out of it, looking at him with a complicated expression. "Where's the Toad?"

"I sent him back to deliver a message, telling Magneto to stop trying to make a move on Anna. Do you think Magneto will listen?"

"Or to put it another way, will Magneto come to save you?"

The Nightcrawler shook her head with a bitter smile, "If I still had any value, he would definitely have saved me, but now... I only have one day left."

"It's been less than a day, and you've been unconscious for several hours."

Nightcrawler: "..."

Is this the key point?

The important thing is whether or not I'm saved. I'm going to die anyway, and I'm no longer of any use to you.

"There's always a way out. Heaven has a benevolent heart. Don't be so pessimistic. How about we make a bet? If Magneto comes to save you, I'll let you die. If he doesn't come to save you, I'll let you live!"

If Magneto comes, there might be a glimmer of hope; if he doesn't, I can survive.

And whether they come or not, it's better than just waiting to die, right?

A bet like this is impossible to refuse!

"I'll take the bet!"

"You don't understand Magneto."

Su Quan laughed, "No, it's because you don't understand Magneto!"

Magneto may be Coldblood and realistic, but he is also proud and arrogant. He has seen many enemies and difficulties, and he is a man who has experienced many ups and downs. How could he possibly back down just because of a few words from Toad?

Moreover, it concerns his most important plan, so it's even less likely that he would just give up like this.

Therefore, Magneto will definitely come!

Not only will Magneto come, but there's a high chance— the X-Men will come too!

The way Cyclops and Storm defeated Sabretooth and saved Wolverine and Anna in the movie would probably happen in real life too, with only the people involved and the details changing.

Don't ask why, the answer is simply that Su Quan's Immune to Causality, and the world corrects itself!

Su Quan neither restricted the Nightcrawler's freedom nor treated her coldly. She was also sensible and obediently waited for her fate to arrive, without causing any trouble.

Time passed slowly, night fell outside the window, and the lights were dazzling. The Nightcrawler had been quiet all along suddenly changed her expression and froze in disbelief.

"I won."

Su Quan chuckled smugly. The Nightcrawler's senses had already detected the presence of Mutants nearby.

There are two Mutants in total.

According to the usual ranking system of Nightcrawler, one is level 3, possessing a toad-like physique, agility, and long range; the other is level 4, capable of Control Magnetic Field.

These two Mutants are none other than Toad Magneto!

"Is there anything you'd like to say in your last moments?" Su Quan asked understandingly.

Nightcrawler: You call this being understanding?

Unable to believe that Magneto would actually come, Nightcrawler took a deep breath and said seriously, "I don't want to die."

Su Quan smiled and nodded, "I know."

"..."

The Nightcrawler got up and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

It was so loud—no, it was so loud!

Su Quan glanced at her knees and heard her say, "Let me live, let me work for you, let me create more value for you!"

"I'm very fast, and I can also sense the abilities and levels of Mutants, I..."

Su Quan interrupted, "You're very fast?"

The Nightcrawler was speechless for a few seconds before changing her words: "Except for you... I'm faster than anyone else!"

Su Quan curled his lip. "How about Quicksilver?"

Who is Quicksilver?

The Nightcrawler opened her mouth, then suddenly felt an urge to give up struggling.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the hotel room door was pushed open, and Toad walked in with Magneto was wearing a helmet and Cloak.

Magneto, the little old man, stood tall and proud, walking Hu Hu a powerful and imposing presence.

Seeing the Nightcrawler kneeling before Su Quan, Magneto snorted in dissatisfaction and raised his hand.

In an instant, the metal on the Nightcrawler's leather collar was controlled, lifting her up and rapidly tightening.

"Ugh... ugh..." The feeling of suffocation made the Nightcrawler, whose feet were not touching the ground, struggle painfully.

Magneto is Magneto; he's ruthless and cold-blooded.

"Bite!"

"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Control Magnetic Field (Magneto)"

I've already used up both of the Nightcrawler's abilities.

"Although I haven't accepted his allegiance yet, you're really disregarding me, aren't you?"

Su Quan smiled, raised his hand, and snapped his the Snap.

"Smack!"

The moment the Snap landed, Magneto frowned, his face showing surprise.

The Nightcrawler collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, and looked at Su Quan with gratitude on her face.

Magneto, his face grim, attacked Nightcrawler again, but the metal that had been like a part of his body suddenly stopped obeying his commands.

It felt like seeing a beautiful woman on the street, and your kidneys were telling your eyes to stop looking, but you were powerless to stop, and your eyes seemed to be already attracted to her, ignoring your kidneys' words.

"You controlled it with gravity? No, that's not right, it wasn't gravity! If it were gravity, I should feel a pulling sensation, not..."

"You can also control the magnetic field of metal?!"

Even after experiencing countless trials and tribulations and witnessing all sorts of abilities, Magneto was still deeply moved.

This is the first time he has encountered someone with the same ability as himself!

Su Quan smiled brightly, "Unexpected, aren't you? Surprised? I told you not to come, but you didn't listen. Now look what's happened, I have your only ability too, and it's even better than yours. Are you embarrassed now?"

Magneto was surprised but not flustered. He glanced at the stunned Toad and chuckled.

"You really surprised me. I've been thinking about what would happen to the Brotherhood and the Mutants if I got old and died."

"I am very happy to meet you today. You can Control Gravity and Control Magnetic Field, and you should also have the ability to Teleportation or teleport."

"You can inherit my mantle and lead the Brotherhood of Mutants continue fighting for Mutants."

"My child, I can be your father. After I die, everything I have will belong to you!"

"You can become the New Magneto!"

With great enthusiasm and deep emotion, Magneto opened his arms as if to welcome Su Quan into his embrace.

Su Quan also raised his hand, and an invisible Cisco Ramon blasted fiercely towards Magneto's head.

"Om Li!"

The helmet, which was highly symbolic and had been with Magneto for countless years, was instantly shattered into pieces, with fragments flying everywhere.

Magneto's eyes widened as the premonition of death assaulted his Mind Stone. Without time to think of anything else, he instinctively ducked downwards with an agility beyond his years to avoid the Cisco Ramon.

"Thump!"

A heavy thud resounded, and Anna, the Nightcrawler, Toad in the room were all dumbfounded by what they saw.

"Quick!"

"This is it!"

In the hotel corridor, Storm and Jean Grey, dressed in black leather X-Men uniforms, rushed into the open room.

They were stunned when they rushed in.

How should I put it? The moment they walked in, they saw Magneto looking utterly disheveled, kneeling before a young man with a horrified expression?

Are we seeing things?
