Chapter 473

As soon as she entered, Ororo Munroe was stunned.

Several young, beautiful, and elegant women in the restaurant were looking at her with all sorts of strange expressions.

It made her feel uneasy, and she became even more reserved.

Su Quan was the only man in the restaurant. With the keen eye that Ororo Munroe had developed through years of thievery, she immediately guessed that this man was the master they were talking about, and the person who wanted to see her.

Ororo Munroe approached Su Quan's table nervously, feeling somewhat inferior, lacking confidence, and puzzled. She said, "Thank you, thank you for letting them save me, but I don't understand, why... why?"

Su Quan turned his head to look at her, and asked with a smile, "Why do you think that is?"

Ororo Munroe shook her head and said, "I don't know, I... I'm just a thief."

Jean Grey smiled and said, "You're more than just a thief; you're a Mutants!"

"We are all Mutants!"

Ororo Munroe asked tentatively, "So you want me to join you?"

Su Quan asked with a smile, "Are you interested?"

Ororo Munroe never imagined she would meet someone like her, let alone be with someone like her. The sudden invitation left her completely at a loss for what to do.

Agree?

Who knows who they are or what they'll make you do?

But what will happen to those children who have no one to take care of them if I leave?

A large part of the reason she became a thief was for the sake of homeless children who had no one to care for them and no ability to survive on their own.

Disagree?

Since they approached me and even saved me, they were clearly prepared and determined to succeed. Would they allow me to refuse?

Having grown up on the streets and made a living by stealing, she knew very well that the rich and powerful were not to be offended; they could crush her as easily as crushing Ant-Man!

Ororo Munroe was caught in a dilemma. Su Quan did not disturb her thinking, but instead leisurely drank his wine and ate some unknown snacks.

Su Quan wasn't in a hurry, and the others were even less so, since they were all familiar with 'Ororo Munroe,' even if it was a different version.

But that's precisely why they're even more eager to follow this gossip!

Especially Jean Grey, who comes from the same world as Storm, has spent the most time with her, and is the closest to her, so she's even more eager to hear another version of her best friend's gossip!

"The others are one thing, but have you forgotten that we'll be going to the professor's place later?" Su Quan teased with a slight smile, seeing Jean Grey's enthusiastic expression.

No one else in this world has a 'Doppelganger', but you do!

Now you're eating other people's gossip, and in the next minute someone else will be eating your gossip too!

Jean Grey's expression froze instantly; she realized she'd been caught in the crossfire of gossip.

The professors in this world are not much different from those in other worlds; they are also lame and founded the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

And also...

They also took me in as a student.

The only difference is that the professors in this world aren't bald yet!

Jean Grey winked at Su Quan: "You're not going to ask Ororo to come along, are you?"

Caught in a dilemma, Ororo Munroe heard her name called and instinctively asked, "Where to?"

"I wasn't talking about you!" Jean Grey shook her head.

You weren't talking about me?

You clearly said Ororo, didn't you? Did I hear you wrong?

Ororo Munroe looked confused, so Jean Grey explained, "I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about another Ororo Munroe."

Another Ororo Munroe?

Well, now Ororo Munroe is even more confused.

Su Quan shrugged at Jean Grey, then, seemingly enjoying the drama, said, "You and she are both my people, and I'm closer to her, so... you know what I mean!"

Jean Grey rolled her eyes at her, somewhat speechless. "Are you kidding me? I never rejected you. You were the one who didn't take the initiative, and now you're using that as a condition?"

Su Quan smiled noncommittally and explained, "Well, it's because we didn't have a proper, natural opportunity before. I couldn't just suddenly find you and make that kind of request, could I?"

"That's so disrespectful to you."

Jean Grey twitched her lips. "You might as well be more direct. Making demands like this doesn't feel like I'm being respected at all."

"That's not important."

"The important thing is that it looks much more natural this way."

Su Quan joked with a smile, not worried that Jean Grey would be angry. After all, they had spent twenty years together on Void Island. Although they hadn't done anything, their emotional foundation was very deep, and they were already like family.

Not just Jean Grey, but everyone else too.

Having been together for twenty years, whether or not they did that kind of thing wouldn't affect their relationship and feelings for Su Quan.

Twenty years is a long time; even the most indifferent person could develop feelings over that.

Of course, the feelings have deepened, but there are some things that are not easy to do directly.

There's a saying, "It's hard to make a move on someone you know!"

The more familiar you are with something, the less likely you are to rush into it.

"Whatever you say, but you can't call her here until I've seen her," Jean Grey said.

The two "her"s confused Ororo Munroe, but Su Quan and the others understood who the two "her"s referred to.

The first "she" refers to Jean Grey's Doppelganger, the younger version of Jean Grey; the second "she" refers to the older version of Ororo Munroe.

Of course, this old version doesn't refer to age. Well, although Ororo Munroe is indeed older than the one in front of us, it mainly refers to the old timeline.

Alternatively, size can be used to differentiate them.

Storm and Storm.

Big Phoenix and Little Phoenix.

This can be considered a bittersweet experience in the Multiverse; to experience multiple times the joy, one must be able to distinguish between them.

Currently, two names are fine, but if there are three, four, or even more, you'll have to put a lot of thought into just the names to distinguish them.

Su Quan and Jean Grey exchanged a few jokes, which gave Ororo Munroe more time to consider.

No matter how much she considers it, the result is actually the same.

She had no choice but to agree.

It's not that Su Quan is petty or narrow-minded, but rather that everything is afraid of comparison!

What did Apocalypse do?

They killed the stall owner and his men, rescued her, enhanced her abilities, and then she became one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

It was effortless for Apocalypse to recruit her.

She was rescued by someone, and although her abilities weren't enhanced, considering the financial resources and influence, it wasn't bad, was it?

Besides, she didn't know anything about enhancing abilities.

So if she, who so easily surrendered to Apocalypse, were to refuse his invitation, well...

Having grown up safely on the streets and taken care of so many homeless children, Ororo Munroe was obviously not so naive as to think that Su Quan had really given her a choice. So after thinking for a moment, she made her decision.

"I'm willing to join you," Ororo Munroe said, raising her head slightly.

"A smart choice!" Su Quan smiled with delight, picked up an unused plate from the table, and activated his ability.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, the material changed, and the ordinary plate was transformed into a pure gold plate!

"This is a gift for you. You can keep it for yourself, or you can exchange it for money and give it to the children." As soon as Su Quan finished speaking, the golden plate flew to Ororo Munroe's front with a whoosh.

Ororo Munroe caught it in a daze, and subconsciously put it to her mouth and gently bit it.

It's gold!

What... what kind of ability is this? It's practically turning lead into gold!

Su Quan ignored her shock and smiled as he pointed at Big Blink: "Her name is Clarice Ferguson, codename Blink, we all call her Big Blink. She'll be waiting for you here."

Ororo Munroe looked at the Big Blink, which, though inconspicuous, was larger than herself.

"Isn't she coming with me?" Ororo Munroe asked hesitantly.

Su Quan shook his head with a smile, "There's no need for that. I'm not afraid you'll run away."

Ororo Munroe asked, puzzled, "Why? I'm a thief."

"No one wants to be in darkness unless their world is forever devoid of light." Su Quan stood up, looked at her, and asked, "Do you believe in light?"

Ororo Munroe's eyes lit up. "I didn't believe it before, but now... I'm willing to believe it!"

"I am the light in your life!" Su Quan patted Ororo Munroe's head and snapped his the Snap.
