Chapter 377

In addition, after Jean Grey acquired her Phoenix Force, she established a Mind Stone connection with him. Whenever he wanted, he could know where Jean Grey was and what she was thinking. This connection had a wide range, covering the Multiverse.

In addition, the Phoenix Force that is distributed will continuously strengthen itself and enhance its authority. In other words, the more Phoenix Force is distributed, the stronger it will become!

This is similar to the Speed Force; the method to enhance the Speed Force is to create more speedsters!

"By the way, you and Storm... you messed with her again? When I mentioned you to her, she... she was gritting her teeth!" Jean Grey didn't dwell on her own question; instead, she was curious about what had happened between Su Quan and Storm.

Su Quan smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry about her, she's just having an impotent rage. I have to go out, do you have anything else to do?"

Jean Grey thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow is the summit. To deal with Magneto, the professor selected several students to join the X-Men..."

"Oh? Who are they?"

"Bobbi Drake, John Allardyce, Kitty Pride, Peter Rasputin, Petra."

Jean Grey mentioned a few names.

Iceman, Human Torch, Shadowcat, Colossus, and the last one, Petra, is a bit unfamiliar...

With a thought, Su Quan's Psychic Power instantly enveloped the entire school.

His Psychic Power has broken through its shackles and merged with the Phoenix Force, since the Phoenix Force is the embodiment of Psychic Power.

In an instant, the Psychic Power settled on a girl.

This is a blonde girl born in the United States. Shortly after her 13th birthday, her entire family was killed in an accident when a boulder crushed her, and she was subsequently adopted.

But her adoptive parents treated her badly because her adoptive father awakened his Mutant Genes when he tried to take advantage of her, revealing his Mutants identity.

After leaving her adoptive parents, she was destitute and made a living by developing her abilities to turn coal into diamonds and sell them to a shady merchant. However, the merchant discovered her scheme and called the police, leading to her arrest.

Upon learning of this, the professor took her back to the school.

Petra's ability is to control and manipulate the earth and rocks, and she also possesses a certain degree of material transformation, such as turning coal into diamonds!

The fact that Petra was able to do this shows that she has mastered her abilities very well. The basic teaching at school was not very helpful to her. What she lacked was combat experience!

Su Quan sensed that Petra wasn't warlike; all she wanted was a safe and peaceful life, and she only agreed to join the X-Men out of gratitude for the professor's help.

Incidentally, students can stay at the school as teachers after graduation to help newly enrolled Mutants, or they can join the X-Men to help protect the school.

Of course, you can also choose to leave school and live your own life.

In this respect, professors have no restrictions.

Petra's wish was to find a place to start a new life in anonymity after graduation.

P. S.: The picture shows Petra, a character from the comics, not the movie.

Su Quan didn't waste too much time and energy on Petra. There were many schools like her, and he couldn't possibly try to win them over one by one.

Whether you want a peaceful and stable life or to stand out and achieve great things, opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared!

If you're neither a well-established character like Storm or Jean Grey, nor someone with special abilities like Shadowcat, then you have to actively seek opportunities.

Mediocrity is the original sin!

If you're mediocre and don't even know how to take the initiative, how can you change your fate or get what you want?

Do you think you can have your cake and eat it too?

After Su Quan and Jean Grey parted ways, they returned to the bar run by the Black King. Half an hour earlier, the Black King had sent word that she had found Madame Viper.

A private room in the corner of the bar.

The Black King and a woman with long, curly blonde hair, wearing a green trench coat over a green bodysuit and leather pants, sat on opposite sides of the table.

At first glance, Su Quan sensed the alluring yet dangerous aura emanating from her, especially the direct and playful look in her eyes when she scrutinized him—she was a dazzlingly beautiful serpent!

Su Quan sat down directly next to Madame Viper, picked up the cocktail prepared for him in front of him with a smile, and drank it all in one gulp.

Madame Viper's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled sweetly, "So you're looking for me? You don't look very promising. I need to reconsider whether I should join you."

The Black King's expression turned cold, and she directly controlled the Madame Viper with her Psychic Power: "Words can be dangerous. Think things through before you speak."

Although Madame Viper couldn't move, she showed no sign of panic and calmly said, "Don't be so eager to show off. Ask your master first. My poison isn't so easy to bear."

"You dare to poison me?!"

The Black King's expression changed, and she stood up abruptly. At the same time, her Psychic Powers had already learned what she had done from the Madame Viper's memories.

The wine Su Quan drank was poisoned!

Damn it! She was clearly watching me the whole time, when did she poison me?

No, why did she poison him?

No, no, no, how dare she poison him?!

The Black King couldn't understand why the Madame Viper would risk poisoning someone knowing she possessed Psychic Abilities. Didn't she know it was pointless?

With an angry snort, the Black King controlled Madame Viper to try to cure Su Quan of the poison. Just then, her Psychic Power was suddenly severed without any warning.

The Black King paused, then instinctively looked at Su Quan. At the same time, Madame Viper, with a smug look in her eyes and a smile playing on her lips, also looked at Su Quan.

Her reason for poisoning him was simple: it wasn't because she was ignorant of her own limitations, nor because she had a grudge against Su Quan, but because she wanted to prove her abilities and incidentally sow discord among the Black King!

She knew very well what the Hellfire Club meant, and she also knew very well what it meant that they had approached her.

She has value that the other person needs!

Since it has value, we should make good use of it to gain more benefits for ourselves.

Su Quan waved to the Black King, signaling her to calm down, then smacked his lips, carefully tasted the poison in the wine, and shook his head. "The taste hasn't changed much. I thought the poisoned wine would taste better."

"A poison without a smell will go unnoticed," Madame Viper said, watching Su Quan's reaction.

Something's not right.

Although the poison she administered wasn't lethal, it took effect very quickly. He should have reacted by now, so why does he seem completely normal?

Is it going to backfire?

Madame Viper was very astute. Although she was still unsure of what was going on, she knew that her purpose in poisoning the victim was to demonstrate her abilities, not to offend anyone or become mortal enemies with the Hellfire Club.

So she cleverly took the initiative to offer the antidote, so that even if things went wrong, there would still be room for recovery.

"This is the antidote."

Su Quan pointed at her a few times with his finger, and the awkwardness of knowing she was being read made her give an embarrassed yet polite smile.

"Keep it for yourself. This level of poison has no effect on me. If I were so easily poisoned, I wouldn't deserve to be sitting here."

Su Quan is immune to toxins, as is Madame Viper, but Madame Viper's venom cannot defeat Su Quan, while Su Quan's venom...

Su Quan reached out and grabbed, Madame Viper instantly lunged at him uncontrollably, and then...

Smack!

Madame Viper's eyes widened instantly, then her surprised gaze and expression suddenly changed, becoming dazed and confused, as if she were completely captivated by Su Quan and had no other thoughts.

Su Quan released her and said with a smile, "Call me Dad."

"Dad—" As soon as she spoke, Madame Viper's muddled eyes instantly regained their clarity, and she abruptly stepped back, putting distance between herself and Su Quan.

She stared at Su Quan in disbelief. "What, what kind of poison is this?! I'm immune to all toxins, how did I get poisoned?"

Su Quan smiled without saying a word, only inwardly marveling at how effective Poison Ivy's poison was, proving she hadn't let him down at the crucial moment.

"Have you thought it through? Do you want to join us?" Su Quan asked, continuing from her initial statement, "I need to reconsider whether I want to join you."

Without hesitation, Madame Viper said, "That was just a joke, of course I'm joining."

Su Quan hummed in agreement and said to the secretly resentful Black King, "Take her out for a chat."

The Black King's eyes lit up, and she sneered at Madame Viper, "Come out with me."

How about we go outside and talk?

I think he should go out and get a beating!

Madame Viper knew that using the Black King as a stepping stone would surely incur her wrath. If she had succeeded, she wouldn't have had to worry about her revenge, but now she had failed—

The victor is king, the loser is villain; she has no regrets!

If she could do it all over again, she would still do the same thing. As long as she agreed to join, even if the Black King retaliated, she wouldn't kill her!

Madame Viper got up without hesitation and followed the Black King out.

Su Quan was leisurely sipping his cocktail when the Black King and the Madame Viper returned.

Madame Viper's face flushed slightly. One shouldn't hit someone in the face; the Black King was truly angry.

Both the Madame Viper and the Black King are villains, and they both fit the villainous stereotype. One is ruthless and merciless when she is in the right; the other remains calm and thick-skinned even when she is beaten, as if nothing has happened.

"How is the Shingen Clan doing?" Su Quan asked the seated Black King.

Black King: "I've already contacted Shingen Yashida, and he's agreed to make Cerebro for us. As for the rest..."

He glanced at Madame Viper and continued, "He needs to see hope before he can make a decision."

The news about Wolverine and the confirmed method to transfer Wolverine's Self-Healing Ability to oneself were the hopes that Shingen Yashida desired!

"As for Yukio, who you are looking for, she has been adopted by Shingen Yashida. As for Shiro Yoshida, there is no news yet."
