Epic Quest! Unlimited Justice Points!

Pah!

If I had no morals, then morals couldn't be used to blackmail me!

At that moment, he planted a seed and quietly waited for it to grow into a towering tree.

Tony was currently letting himself go. His Palladium Arc Reactor was already close to killing him...

"19%!"

That meant he would soon be living on borrowed time. It was only a matter of time—at most, he had half a year left.

The playboy Tony always invited Chen Xi along, but Chen Xi had no interest in those parties. They were all damn trash.

That day, Chen Xi was out shopping with Jean Grey. Gwen was practicing combat with Bo Da, Wanda had gone to the company, and he was secretly holding hands and dating Jean Grey like a thief.

He had not even completely won Gwen over yet. If she discovered he was two-timing her, he would probably get his balls chopped off...

Still, he figured his were steel balls. Nothing would probably happen, right? How could mortal blades possibly hurt him?

That morning, Chen Xi had deliberately 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 simply could not understand it. If someone collected Superman's beard hairs, they could probably make an insanely powerful weapon.

Yet after only a few days apart, Jean Grey seemed much more haggard, and the exhaustion in her eyes was obvious.

"Did you run into some kind of problem?"

"Isn't it because of the Mutant Registration Act? We only want a little basic human rights. Why do they have to keep us under watch like beasts...?"

Jean Grey murmured sorrowfully. Only before the man she loved 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 a Ferrari one-handed?

When a woman was at her most helpless, what man would not 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 touched that she was a complete mess. How could her heart not blossom with joy?

"Shh! Don't say anything. We don't need words 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 possibly want?

In truth, being superheroes was exhausting for them. Charles's compromises and appeasement had not earned them any goodwill. They were merely being exploited.

Sometimes, Chen Xi had considered making her leave the X-Men.

But after thinking about it, he decided against it. He could not casually interfere with everyone's fate as though he were some god above them, toying with the destiny 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 always felt that having a superhero cause they could fight for made life more meaningful.

At present, he did not seem to have anything urgent to handle. Aside from funding Ivan Vanko, everything else had settled into place.

The road had to be walked one step at a time, and meals had to be eaten one bite at a time.

"Host, a big job just came up. Do you want to take it?"

At that moment, 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 standing and allow them to receive treatment as human beings."

"Ding! Quest rewards are pending. Justice Points will be awarded based on the scale of the host's completion. Upon meeting the minimum completion requirement, the reward will be no less than five hundred thousand. There is no upper limit for the maximum reward!"

Holy shit! Awesome!

This was like a cow doing a handstand—utterly sky-high!

Screech!!!

In his excitement, Chen Xi suddenly slammed on the brakes without warning, bringing the car to a stop right in the middle of the street...

He had truly been stunned by the generous reward. This was an unprecedented, explosive reward!

"Y-you... why did you suddenly get so excited?"

If Jean Grey in the passenger seat had not been wearing her seat belt, she probably would have been flung out by his abrupt stop. Even so, the belt had painfully dug into her ample chest.

"Ahem, it's nothing. I suddenly thought of a way to help you get out of your current predicament. Hahaha."

Chen Xi laughed loudly and blurted it out casually, without telling her the truth.

But the others did not care about that. They immediately started laying on their horns, hurling all kinds of trash talk...

"Fuck!! You think driving a Ferrari makes you so great? Fuck!"

"Fuck you!! Just because you drive a Ferrari, you think the road belongs to you? Fuck!!"

"Oh! Shit! I hate rich people the most! Fuck!"

"..."

Watching those people spit everywhere, their enraged faces twisted as they cursed without restraint, Chen Xi shook his head.

Poor idiots. The barren culture of poverty—when they cursed, they could not even come up with anything creative. So damn pathetic...

Look at us instead. A badass could curse for ten minutes without repeating a single line.

So, to save them from embarrassing themselves anymore, Chen Xi decided to help them. From now on, they would not be able to curse again. His telekinesis formed fists and smashed every last tooth in their mouths, one punch each...

In an instant, the group fearfully squeezed their eyes shut, clutched their heads, and rolled around on the ground. Terror filled their hearts. Had God punished them because their insults were too nasty???

"You violent maniac..."

Jean Grey rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. They had only cursed him a couple of times, and it had been his fault in the first place. Yet he had knocked out every single one of their teeth. How much would that cost?

Did he know that getting even one dental implant in New York could cost as much as a BMW 5 Series?

"No, no, no. It wasn't me. It was God."

Chen Xi shamelessly shifted the blame with a straight face. There was no God in this Marvel universe anyway, so he could blame whoever he wanted. If God had the guts, he could cross universes and come hammer him!

Then they would see whether old man OAA would deal with him!

"You are such a bastard..."

Even the system could not stand watching anymore.

"Get lost!"

After snapping at the system, Chen Xi immediately put on a beaming smile and invited Jean Grey. "Want to go to an amusement park? The carousel or the Ferris wheel?"

"The carousel and the Ferris wheel?"

The moment Jean Grey heard that, her vision blurred...

What a distant memory that was.

The last time she had ridden a carousel and Ferris wheel, she had been ten years old.

Back then, she had been so carefree. If that accident had never happened, how wonderful would that have been?

"The carousel and the Ferris wheel."

Chen Xi nodded. Gazing deeply into her eyes, he said each word distinctly:

"Don't regret the past, because it has already passed. Don't worry about the future, because tomorrow has not yet arrived."

"The only thing we can grasp is today!"

"Do not dwell on the past, do not fear the future—live in the present!"

He knew Charles had used a psychic prison to lock Jean Grey's negative emotions deep within her heart. Did that old man not understand that blocking something forever was worse than guiding it out?

When Dark Jean Grey erupted, the dark negative emotions she had accumulated for years would directly crush him to death...

"Do not dwell on the past, do not fear the future—live in the present..."

Jean Grey murmured Chen Xi's words. The light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter. His words had awakened her from a dream!

"Let's go. I haven't relaxed in a long time."
