Pah!
If I had no morals, then morality couldn't hold me hostage!
At that moment, he planted a seed and quietly waited for it to grow into a towering tree.
Tony Stark was currently letting himself go. His Palladium Arc Reactor was about to kill him...
"19%!"
That meant he would not have long to live. It was only a matter of time; at most, he had half a year left.
Tony Stark, always indulging in wine and women, often invited Chen Xi along, but Chen Xi had no interest in those parties. They were all fucking trash.
That day, Chen Xi was shopping with Jean Grey. Gwen was practicing combat with Bo Da, Wanda had gone to the company, and he was secretly holding Jean Grey's hand and going on dates with her like a thief.
He had not even completely won Gwen over yet. If she found out he was two-timing her, he would probably get his balls chopped off...
Still, he felt his were steel balls. Nothing would probably happen, right? How could mortal blades possibly hurt him?
That morning, Chen Xi had specifically shaved with Heat Vision, changed into a handsome suit, and combed his hair into a mature style.
Why did Superman even grow a beard? He truly could not figure it out. If someone collected Superman's beard clippings, they could probably forge some insanely powerful weapons.
However, after not seeing her for just a few days, Jean Grey seemed much more haggard. He could see the exhaustion in her eyes as well.
"Did you run into some trouble?"
"Isn't it all because of the Mutant Registration Act? We only want a little basic human rights. Why do they have to keep us under watch like we're Beasts..."
Jean Grey murmured sorrowfully. Only in front of her lover did she dare reveal her vulnerable side. Before everyone else, she had to pretend to be strong and brave...
"Leave everything to me."
Chen Xi tightly held Jean Grey's little hand with his right hand while firmly gripping the Ferrari's steering wheel with the other. Didn't everyone drive Ferraris one-handed?
When a woman was at her most helpless, who wouldn't say something like that?
And Chen Xi's words, "Leave it to me," instantly shattered Jean Grey's fragile psychological defenses.
"I..."
Jean Grey was so moved she was a complete mess. How could her heart not bloom with joy?
"Shh! Don't say anything. There's no need between us."
Chen Xi quickly covered her mouth with his hand, making her swallow the words she wanted to say.
"Mhm."
Jean Grey finally revealed a captivating smile. At that moment, she completely let down her guard. With her own man shielding her from the wind and rain, what more could she ask for?
In truth, being superheroes was exhausting for them. Charles Xavier's compromises and concessions had not earned them any goodwill. They had merely been used.
Chen Xi had sometimes considered making her leave the X-Men.
But after thinking about it, he decided against it. He could casually interfere with anyone's fate, like a god looking down from above and toying with the destinies that belonged to them.
Not only did he decide every character's life, death, and fate in movie worlds, he also enjoyed stirring up the winds and clouds in Marvel.
But when it came to his own women, he felt that having a superhero cause worth fighting for seemed more meaningful.
At present, he did not seem to have anything urgent to do. Aside from funding Ivan Vanko, everything else had settled into place.
The road had to be walked one step at a time, and food had to be eaten one bite at a time.
"Host, a big job just came in. Do you want to take it?"
Just then, the system suddenly spoke.
"Oh? What kind of big job?"
Chen Xi was curious. Even the system called it a big job?
"Ding! An epic quest has been triggered: Help Mutants completely change their social status and allow them to be treated like human beings." "Ding! Quest rewards are pending. Justice Points will be awarded based on the scale of the host's completion. Once the minimum completion requirements are met, the reward will be no less than 500,000. There is no upper limit for the maximum quest reward!"
Holy shit!! That was awesome!!
This was like an upside-down cow—unbelievably fucking impressive!!
Screech!!!
In his excitement, Chen Xi suddenly slammed on the brakes without warning, bringing the car to a dead stop right in the middle of the street...
He was truly stunned by the generous reward. This was an unprecedented, explosive reward!
"Y-you... Why are you suddenly so excited?"
If Jean Grey in the passenger seat had not been wearing her seat belt, she would probably have been flung out by the sudden stop. Even so, the belt painfully squeezed her ample chest, okay?
"Ahem, it's nothing. I suddenly thought of a way to get you out of your current predicament. Hahaha."
Chen Xi laughed and casually blurted it out without telling her the truth.
But the others did not care. They immediately started hammering their horns, unleashing all kinds of trash talk...
"Fuck!! You think you're so great because you drive a Ferrari? Fuck!"
"Fuck you!! Just because you drive a Ferrari, does that mean the road belongs to your family? Fuck!!"
"Oh! Shit! I hate rich people the most! Fuck!"
"..."
Watching their spit fly, their furious faces twist, and their unrestrained curses pour out, Chen Xi shook his head.
Poor idiots. Their impoverished desert culture could not even come up with creative insults. So fucking pathetic...
Now look at us. A badass could curse for ten minutes without repeating himself.
So, to save them from embarrassing themselves again, Chen Xi decided to help them. From now on, they would not need to curse anymore. His telekinesis formed fists and smashed every single tooth in their mouths...
In an instant, the group squeezed their eyes shut in terror, clutched their heads, and rolled around on the ground. They were terrified. Had God punished them because their insults were too vicious???
"You violent maniac..."
Jean Grey rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. They had only cursed at him a couple of times, and it had even been his fault. Yet he had knocked out every single one of their teeth. How much was that going to cost?
Did he know that getting a full mouth of dental implants in New York could cost as much as a BMW 5 Series?
"No, no, no. I didn't do it. God did."
Chen Xi immediately passed the blame with a straight face. Anyway, there was no God in this Marvel universe, so he could dump it all on him. If he had the guts, he could cross universes and come hammer him!
Then they would see whether old man One-Above-All would deal with his ass!
"You really are shameless to the core..."
Even the system could not stand watching him anymore.
"Get lost!"
After snapping at the system, Chen Xi immediately put on a bright smile and invited Jean Grey. "Want to go to an amusement park? The carousel or the Ferris wheel?"
"The carousel and the Ferris wheel?"
At those words, Jean Grey's vision instantly blurred...
What a distant memory that was.
The last time she had ridden a carousel and a Ferris wheel, she had been ten years old.
Back then, she had been so carefree. How wonderful it would have been if that accident had never happened!
"The carousel and the Ferris wheel."
Chen Xi nodded. Staring deeply into her eyes, he said word by word:
"Don't regret the past, because it has already passed. And don't worry about the future, because tomorrow has not yet come."
"The only thing we can grasp is today!"
"Let go of the past, fear not the future, and live in the present!"
He knew that Charles had locked Jean's negative emotions deep inside her mind with a psychic prison. Did that old man not understand that blocking things forever was worse than letting them out?
When Dark Phoenix erupted, the dark negative emotions that had built up over the years would crush him to death...
"Let go of the past, fear not the future, and live in the present..."
Jean Grey murmured Chen Xi's words, while the light in her eyes grew ever brighter. His words had awakened her from a dream!
"Let's go. It's been a long time since I relaxed."
