Starting Today, I'll Be a Big Shot

Midtown Police Station.

Sean's face was as dark as it could get.

Yuriko had paid $4,000 in compensation before she could get Polaris out. There hadn't even been any bail involved, yet $4,000 had gone down the drain for nothing!

Wouldn't it have been better to spend it on themselves?

And all the officers at the station were talking about Polaris being a mutant. They suspected this woman had something to do with the infamous villain Magneto.

Polaris felt a little guilty when she saw Sean. Getting drunk and causing trouble was hardly something to be proud of.

"What did you do with Elektra?"

"N-Nothing... I just... got into a fight."

She said it without the slightest confidence.

Sean figured the people whose place had been trashed hadn't dared to report it, or $4,000 probably wouldn't have been enough!

He shot her an irritated glare and led the way outside.

Polaris followed behind him like a quail.

No one would ever have guessed that Magneto's famous daughter, Polaris, who possessed the power to control magnetism, could be like this.

"When we get back, wash that green hair of yours. Of all the colors you could have chosen, you picked green~"

Sean was especially sensitive about anything green on someone's head. Just looking at it made him uncomfortable.

"Mhm~"

"And don't hang around with that girl Elektra. You won't learn anything good from her~"

"Mhm~"

Tsk~ Why did her timid, obedient behavior make him want to bully her so badly?

Only after getting into the car did Sean ask what exactly had happened the night before.

"I-I accidentally... pulled down a streetlight pole~"

"..."

"I was drunk..."

Had her X-ability gone out of control after getting drunk?

Or had she simply used too much force?

But since she hadn't fought the police, it was probably just that she'd overdone it~

While they were still on the road, Linda Carter called~

"Doctor White, someone came here to cause trouble!"

The anger in Sean's heart flared up at once.

"Who was it?!"

"They said they came for compensation. Doctor Ava... um... calmed them all down~"

"I'll be right back."

After hanging up, Sean took a deep breath. When he caught sight of the cowering Polaris, he couldn't suppress the anger in his chest no matter what.

I really fucking want to teach this girl a lesson!

"Causing trouble! After causing trouble, you should at least clean up your own mess!"

Polaris lowered her head and curled up in the corner of the seat, looking as though she would not resist no matter what he said.

That only made Sean even angrier.

"Aren't you going to say anything?"

Polaris secretly glanced at Sean but still said nothing.

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

"I told you not to stay silent! I told you not to stay silent! Hm? If you dare damage the car, I'll make you build me a new one!"

With a face full of humiliation and resentment, Polaris withdrew her power. Once she was out of Sean's control, she tugged hard at her clothes, then shrank back into the corner of the seat and glared at Sean with cold eyes.

Having vented, Sean immediately felt like the world had become beautiful again.

Tsk~ Was stress relief really this simple?

The moment he returned to the clinic, Sean frowned.

The glass door was shattered~

The reception desk's contents were scattered all over the floor~

"Where are they?"

Linda pointed anxiously at the separate examination room.

Inside, seven burly men lay in neat rows. Every one of them looked terrified, their eyeballs darting wildly, but the rest of their bodies could not move at all.

Ava Ellis sat cross-legged on a chair, swinging one leg back and forth.

The moment she saw Sean enter, she stood up, straightened her sexy doctor's coat, and gave him a seductive smile.

"They're not dead?"

"...Do they need to be?"

Ava Ellis asked tentatively.

"We'll see later."

Their exchange sounded completely ordinary, but to the seven burly men, it meant something entirely different~

What the fuck kind of clinic is this?!

They had only smashed a door to intimidate them, and then they had somehow been taken down~

That female doctor had dragged them into this room like pigs, arranged them neatly in rows, and had even seemed to be debating whether to cut them into equal lengths~

Then, not long afterward, this man came in and was actually surprised they were still alive!

God! Can anyone save us?!

Sean turned the chair Ava had just been sitting in around to face the punks, then sat down in it with an imposing posture.

Ava Ellis obediently stood behind Doctor White and massaged his shoulders.

"Tell me why you came here to cause trouble~"

"Don't want to talk? Interesting."

The punks' eyes grew even more terrified~

"They can't speak~"

Ava whispered into Sean's ear.

"What did you do to them?"

"I blocked their brain signals from being transmitted out~"

"..."

"I paralyzed their central nervous systems~"

"You even know medicine?"

Sean found that strange. He remembered that this she-devil had no medical knowledge at all.

"That's what Doctor Palmer said. He said those were the symptoms of central nervous system paralysis~ How would I know what it was called? I just made it so they couldn't move or talk~"

The she-devil hurriedly explained herself. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if she were forced to take a medical licensing exam.

"Hmm... Did these guys hurt our new employee?"

"Doctor Palmer was a little frightened, I suppose~"

The she-devil sounded somewhat uncertain, feeling as though she had misunderstood something.

When Sean heard that, the corners of his mouth split into a grin~

Revealing gleaming teeth!

"My clinic only opened today. I finally found a new doctor, and then you came here to cause trouble and frightened my new doctor..."

"If you had some legitimate reason to come looking for trouble, that would be one thing. But why did you come? You started trouble for no reason. You deserve to die!"

Sean hated these guys a little. Forget the clinic's losses—those were unimportant.

What mattered was the way these people behaved. Polaris and Elektra had trashed his place, yet they came to make trouble at his clinic? Did that make any sense?

With the way they acted, who knew how many innocent people had been dragged into their mess before? People like them existed in this world only to cause trouble~

"I'm done talking. Um... Ava, either you or something you summon can eat them all~"

Ava Ellis blinked a few times. Doctor White's train of thought left her speechless. What did he mean, summon something to eat all these people?

It was true that she was a demon, and sinful souls were delicious, but that did not mean she had to eat their flesh too!

Sean did not care how she handled them. He only tossed out a, "You deal with it," before turning and leaving.

Only after leaving the examination room did he realize that he had just decided the fate of seven people. He felt some hatred and some reluctance, but keeping them alive would only cause trouble~

Tsk~ He was starting to feel like an iron-blooded big shot.

Sean considered himself a very fair person. If someone came looking for trouble with him and he killed them, that was perfectly fair. These punks were not the X-Men—there was no reason for him to hesitate~

Under normal circumstances, he might have turned a few of them into debtors, but his ambitions had grown now. He could not be bothered with such scraps anymore. Cleaning them up completely was less troublesome.

Besides, he did not have to do it himself, so his hands would not feel dirty~

Sean: Have you finished eating?

Ava: Only a ghost would eat that stuff!

Should I give a bow?
