Chapter 373
It's called going to school, but it's really no different from being in prison. However, they are eager to go, since these young Mutants have no ability to deal with unexpected events, let alone honestly hide their abilities and identities.
Without restraint, they're likely to get into trouble!
P. S.: Here's a picture of Kitty.
Tokyo, on the street.
Kitty was carrying several bags filled with her shopping spoils.
She never expected Su Quan to take her away from school, let alone go abroad directly to a country where she was living a good life.
This was her first time going abroad, and also the first time she had left school without permission. The romance of a foreign land, coupled with the rebelliousness of skipping school, made her and Su Quan quickly become familiar and intimate.
"We've been out for a long time, when are we going back?" The little girl was still aware of the situation and hadn't forgotten about going home as soon as she came out.
Su Quan glanced at the bar not far ahead and asked with a smile, "Want to go to a bar?"
"A bar? I... I'm not old enough to go to a bar yet," Kitty said hesitantly.
"Just tell me if you want to go or not?"
Kitty made an "uh" sound, then nodded curiously and said, "Yes."
"That's fine then."
Su Quan smiled and led her into the bar.
There weren't many customers at the bar at this time; people were drinking and chatting in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was relatively quiet.
Inside the character booth, a woman dressed in a long black dress, with long, glossy black hair, and an extremely cold and aloof appearance and demeanor, gave a speechless look, then got up and walked into Su Quan and Kitty's booth.
Kitty was a little nervous since it was her first time at a bar. When she saw someone walking towards them, she nervously moved closer to Su Quan.
"Why are you here? Is there anything I can do for you?" The woman stopped in front of Su Quan and asked with a mixture of respect and curiosity.
"I have something for you to do."
"Come with me."
The woman turned around and led the way.
Kitty realized that this woman must be from the bar and knew Su Quan. He brought her here not entirely to broaden her horizons.
Back in the corner booth, the woman glanced at Kitty, Su Quan immediately said, "Her name is Kitty, she's a student at the X-Mansion. I brought her out for a stroll and also to tell you a few things."
Su Quan didn't explicitly say that Kitty was also one of his people, but the woman already understood that their relationship was quite close. She could just say what she meant without any reservations.
Two things.
"First, there is a Mutants named Ophelia. She may have an alias Dr. Green, codenamed Viper or Madame Viper. Her abilities include toxin immunity, releasing toxins, and the ability to shed her skin to heal injuries."
"Find her and get her to join us."
The woman remembered the message and nodded.
Su Quan didn't continue with the second matter, but instead asked, "Do you know anything about the Shingen Clan?"
The woman thought for a moment and said, "The Shingen Clan is an extremely influential family in the area. They have controlled the lifeline of many industries in the area for generations, and they have connections everywhere, both in the legal and illegal worlds."
"The current head of the Shingen Clan, Shingen Yashida, is a member of the club, and many of the club's Southeast Asian businesses are conducted through him."
"He has a son named Shingen Yashida, Shingen Yashida has a daughter named Mariko Yashida, who is currently thirteen years old."
Su Quan said with a smile, "It seems that Shingen Yashida is very important to the club. No wonder they sent you here."
The woman smiled faintly and did not reply.
We've been meeting for so long and I still haven't introduced her. Her name is Selene Gallio, the Black King, one of the Three Queens of Mutants!
"Since Shingen Yashida is a member of the club, the second thing is much easier to handle. Regarding the Hiroshima Nuclear Bomb incident, a Mutants with Self-Healing Ability saved him. This Mutants is called Wolverine, and he has some connection with me."
"Shingen Yashida is old, and he will get older and older. He doesn't want to die, so he will definitely think of his savior and use Wolverine as bait to get him to build this equipment."
Su Quan reached out and the blueprints for the Cerebro appeared in front of the Black King.
The Black King flipped through the documents, somewhat puzzled. "Excuse my bluntness, but since we have the complete blueprints, building the equipment shouldn't be difficult. It's not worth sacrificing a Mutants, is it?"
Su Quan shook his head. "Who said we had to sacrifice Wolverine? I just said we could use him as bait to settle old scores. The Cerebro is just one thing, also bait. What I want is Mariko Yashida, and the Shingen Clan's money!"
"Wolverine has been modified and his entire body is made of Adamantium. Even if Shingen Yashida catches him, it won't work. He still needs two things."
"The Venom created by Madame Viper can be used to suppress Wolverine's Self-Healing Ability."
"And... Adamantium armor and weapons."
"I still have a batch of Adamantium. I'll sell it to him at a high price so he can use it to forge armor and weapons. We'll buy it back after this is over..."
They sold him Adamantium at a high price, letting him spend money and effort to turn it into a finished product, and then recycled it. In essence, they refined Adamantium into a finished product without spending a penny, and then made a huge profit!
The Black King nodded, and at the same time understood why she needed to find Madame Viper, because she was also part of the plan.
"There are two more people..."
Su Quan pondered for a moment and said, "One of them is named Yukio. She is a Mutants with the ability to foresee the death of others. She should have been adopted by Shingen Yashida and become Mariko Yashida's playmate and bodyguard."
Got it, I want this one named Yukio too!
"There's another one named Shiro Yoshida, who is also Mutants. His code name is Sunfire, and he has the ability to create solar flares. He should be Mariko Yashida's cousin."
"However, I'm not sure if this information is accurate. It might not even be from this world. You can try looking for it, and if you can't find it, that's fine."
Sunfire is a relatively famous and powerful Mutants in a country where life is good. I just don't know if he exists in this world. Anyway, it's just a side effect.
"I understand, I will make the arrangements as soon as possible," the Black King replied.
Su Quan said with a smile, "After you've accomplished these two tasks, I will enhance your abilities."
The Black King nodded emphatically, her face filled with excitement.
"Alright, get her something to drink. Oh, and give her some juice. You can go about your business now."
"Yes."
The Black King rose and withdrew, then shortly after brought over juice and cocktails before leaving again.
Su Quan tasted the cocktail; the flavor and texture were quite good. "Drink up! What are you standing there for? You should go back after you finish."
"Oh, oh." Kitty, who had been seemingly invisible for a while, picked up the juice and drank it down in big gulps without really understanding what was going on.
Although she didn't know many details of Su Quan's conversation with the woman, she could still vaguely guess the general idea!
Well, they don't sound like good people...
PS: The image shows the Black King.
After searching for a long time, I found that the designs of female characters in American comics are too revealing, and most of them would be censored if posted.
Back at school from the bar, Su Quan looked at Kitty, who had become depressed and silent, and asked with a smile, "What? Do you think I'm a bad person?"
Kitty, her thoughts exposed, hesitated, opening her mouth as if to say something but then stopping herself, "You, you're going to trick the Shingen Clan?"
Su Quan chuckled and ruffled her hair, "Don't you think it's a bit unfair that I Shingen Clan into this mess for no reason? Let me ask you, if you knew someone would become a world-destroying demon king, would you pretend you didn't know and still be friends with him?"
Kitty hesitated and shook her head. "Probably not."
"Why? He hasn't done anything wrong yet. You're judging him based on what hasn't happened."
Kitty didn't know how to answer, but she somewhat understood what Su Quan meant by asking the question.
Will the Shingen Clan destroy the world in the future?
"Won't."
"That..."
"You're still too young, and there are many things you can't control, so just remember one sentence."
"What did you say?"
"Don't ask me who I am. As long as I don't harm you, I'm a good person!"
Kitty nodded subconsciously. Although something about what he said seemed off, from her perspective, Su Quan was indeed a good person.
"Don't overthink it, go back and rest."
"Well... goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Su Quan waved goodbye to Kitty as she left, then turned to look at the large tree not far away. "Come out."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jean Grey, dressed in casual clothes, emerged from behind the tree, her face showing the embarrassment of being caught red-handed.
"Did you need something?" Su Quan asked with a smile.
Jean Grey shook her head. "No... yes... I don't know either. I just felt that you were back, and subconsciously... I just wanted to come and see you."
"It sounds like you have a crush on me."
"I don't!"
