Chapter 485
They're both singers, I wonder if Ellie knows her?
Forty minutes later, Ellie's concert, which was largely overrated but received a good response, came to an end.
Watching Ellie walk off the stage and into the bar's backstage area, the young Jean Grey asked in a low voice, "When do we make contact with her?"
Since Su Quan made a special trip to see her concert, he must want to recruit her. Now that the concert is over, it's a good opportunity to get to know her.
"Now then." Su Quan smiled as he stood up and walked towards the back of the bar.
Just as he arrived at the backstage entrance, a burly man with tattooed arms blocked his way.
"Backstage area of the bar, no unauthorized personnel allowed."
Su Quan smiled and reached out, pulling out several hundred-dollar bills. "I want to see that singer who just went in, understand?"
The tattooed man paused, glanced at the girl, Jean Grey, behind Su Quan, a fleeting look of envy crossing his eyes before revealing an expression that every man understands.
"I understand, but..." The tattooed man looked at the US dollar and raised an eyebrow. "You know, if the boss finds out, I'll be in big trouble."
"So..."
"You need to pay more!"
Su Quan chuckled and quickly pulled out a few more bills, "That's enough."
The tattooed man snatched the US dollar in a flash, stuffed it into his pocket, and then turned and left as if nothing had happened.
"Boss, another drink!" a customer suddenly called out to him.
"Here you are."
The tattooed man remained expressionless, showing no embarrassment at being caught lying, and continued pouring drinks for his guests.
"Is he the boss?"
The young girl, Jean Grey, looked utterly bewildered, while Su Quan thought that this boss was a real talent, thick-skinned enough, and deserved to earn extra money!
Push open the door and step backstage.
It's called a back-end system, but it's actually just a messy warehouse.
Su Quan had just entered and hadn't even had a chance to get a good look at his surroundings when he was hit in the face by a blinding light.
"Get out!"
A sharp shout followed.
It's Ellie!
Goodness, he's got quite a temper, and he's so decisive in his actions!
The question is... why?
The instant the bright light hit their faces, Su Quan and the girl Jean Grey instantly appeared inside, and he also learned why Ellie had acted so violently.
Uh, she's changing her clothes.
The white dress she wore earlier wasn't extravagant, but it was more or less a stage costume. After the performance, she naturally had to change back into casual clothes.
"You...you two..." Ellie said, buttoning her clothes as she looked in surprise at the man and woman who should have been at the door but had suddenly appeared near her.
She initially thought it was a customer or a bar employee who had barged in recklessly or with ill intentions, but now it seemed that things weren't so simple.
Ellie had already recognized the man and woman as the guests who had been watching the stage intently. She had initially been secretly pleased that her performance had been recognized, but now, she suspected there was another reason!
PS: This is a comic version of the image of Xuan Yin.
Ellie is young, beautiful, and has a graceful figure. She dares to perform alone in a bar where all sorts of people mingle and there is no place like it. She must have been mentally prepared for the consequences.
So what if my Mutants identity is exposed? My safety is the most important thing. At worst, I can just find another bar or city to perform in.
Fire and run?
Her path to becoming a singer is likely to be long and arduous.
Ellie stared warily at the two uninvited guests before her, and said quite bluntly, "No matter who you are or what your purpose is in seeking me out, I have no interest in you. Please leave immediately!"
Su Quan raised an eyebrow. "Let's go our separate ways, shall we? Our perfumes don't interfere with toilet cleaners, do they?"
Does perfume not interfere with toilet cleaner?
Ellie glared at her. "How dare you call me a toilet cleaner?"
Believe it or not, I'll blind you.
You won't need it anyway!
"Don't go too far, I don't want to fight you!" Ellie warned coldly.
Su Quan said with a smile, "Sorry, what I said just now was just a joke. It was mainly your context that made me a little unable to control myself."
"But..."
"If what you mean by taking action is true, then it's definitely unnecessary, because whether we take action or not, the result will be the same!"
Su Quan waved his hands lightly, and with a hum, colorful light spots appeared around him in an instant.
The stars are twinkling, it's truly magnificent!
Ellie stared in disbelief and staggered back a few steps. "You... how do you know that too?"
Su Quan's move was a testament to her abilities!
"If others don't have it, I have it; if others have it, I have it better—you're far behind in the same ability!"
Su Quan chuckled and flicked his fingers slightly.
In an instant, the colorful specks of light transformed into a sun radiating blinding light.
The blinding sunlight illuminated the otherwise dimly lit backstage area as if it were daytime.
"Ah..."
Ellie screamed and instinctively covered her eyes with her hands.
Although she closed her eyes immediately, she could still feel a white blur, and the indescribable stinging pain made her burst into tears, and she was terrified.
So strong!
His light energy was several times stronger than mine. Just who is he?!
"Don't panic, it's just a matter of reciprocity. You're not blind," Su Quan said calmly.
You shine a bright light on my face, so I'll shine a bright light on your face. It's a matter of reciprocity, no problem!
Ellie tensed up, covering her eyes and waiting for a moment. As expected, the other party did not make any move. Feeling that the stinging pain in her eyes had eased, she tentatively opened her eyes.
All that met my eyes was a blur, and I could vaguely make out the figures of the two people standing in the same spot.
Blinked, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his vision gradually returned.
"What... what do you mean?"
After this experience, Ellie dared not issue any more warnings.
The opponent is clearly stronger than me, much stronger!
The young girl, Jean Grey, glanced at Su Quan, who was smiling, and said reassuringly, "Ellie, we mean no harm. My name is Jean Grey, and I am a student at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters."
"Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters? You...you're X-Men?" Ellie asked in surprise.
The young girl, Jean Grey, smiled and nodded, "Originally, but now I've joined the Void Island."
The words "Void Island" instantly caught Ellie's eye.
If Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and the X-Men are well-known in the Mutants community, then the Void Island are practically a household name.
She had always dreamed of joining the Void Island.
Suddenly, Ellie's expression changed, and she stared at Su Quan in astonishment.
"I've heard that the master of Void Island, the Lord of the Void, is very mysterious and rarely leaves Void Island."
"Rumors say that the Lord of the Void is an Asian, immortal, possesses countless abilities, and is an omnipotent Mutants god."
"You, you wouldn't happen to be the Lord of the Void, would you?"
Su Quan showed his approval. As expected of Mutants could join the Arcadia Team and S.H.I.E.L.D.. in the comics, he reacted quickly and was indeed quite capable.
You have to understand that the world of comics is a hodgepodge, with thousands of characters crammed onto Earth.
S.H.I.E.L.D.., as one of Earth's official organizations, is far more powerful than the Serpent Shield in the movies.
Ellie's ability to join the X-Men, then S.H.I.E.L.D.., and even the Arcadia Team, cannot be solely attributed to her mutant abilities and Mutants identity.
Her personal abilities and talents must also be outstanding.
One leaf falling heralds the coming of autumn.
The young Jean Grey only mentioned that she had joined the Void Island, Ellie immediately connected it to Su Quan's identity, demonstrating her remarkable abilities!
Su Quan neither admitted nor denied that he was the Lord of the Void.
The absence of denial implies tacit agreement.
