White Queen's Submission

Once he had made his decision, Xu Mo no longer hesitated.

Judging by the situation in the clearing, White Queen could have died at the hands of those Sentinel Robots at any moment.

In the clearing.

Although Diamond Form had greatly enhanced her defenses, she still could not withstand the attacks of Sentinel Robots more than ten times her size.

After another collision, White Queen finally could not hold on any longer and was sent flying backward by the tremendous force.

At the same time, the right arms of the two Sentinel Robots behind her transformed into enormous cone-shaped weapons.

They stabbed toward White Queen's body.

White Queen, still suspended in midair, noticed the situation behind her as well.

But after repeatedly colliding with the robots, her body had already gone completely numb.

She had no way to control her body as it flew backward.

"It's over!"

At that moment, this thought flashed through White Queen's mind.

Her most powerful ability was Telepathy, which was no weaker than Professor X's, but unfortunately, it was utterly useless against these robots.

And since they had copied her Diamond Form ability as well, she had no chance whatsoever of defeating them.

Resigned, she simply closed her eyes.

Yet a full five or six seconds passed, and she felt no pain anywhere on her body.

She slowly opened her eyes.

She immediately saw a figure clad entirely in black Powered Armor standing beside her.

The arm a Sentinel Robot had thrust toward her was gripped in that person's hand, utterly unmoving no matter how hard the robot struggled.

As Xu Mo brought his hands together around the pointed weapons.

The two Sentinel Robots in Diamond Form slammed into each other and shattered into fragments across the ground.

Then Xu Mo's figure flickered continuously across the clearing.

In less than half a minute.

The dozen or so Sentinel Robots in the clearing had all been smashed into piles of scrap.

At the sight of this.

White Queen's eyes lit up.

The Sentinel Robots that had driven her into a desperate corner were like children in his hands, completely unable to fight back.

She had been saved!

As the tension left her, the Diamond Form skin White Queen had sustained through sheer willpower returned to normal.

Her body suddenly dropped.

Only then did she realize that she had been floating in midair.

Once her body returned to normal, she crashed hard onto the ground.

The movement tugged at the wound on her shoulder, and a low cry of pain escaped her lips.

After dealing with the robots, Xu Mo turned around. Seeing White Queen gritting her teeth in pain, he retracted his helmet.

It was not as though he had done this deliberately.

His Psychic Force could support her body in Diamond Form without issue, but after she exited Diamond Form, it could no longer hold her up and passed straight through her body.

When White Queen saw Xu Mo's face, surprise appeared on her face.

She had never expected that someone capable of utterly crushing those Sentinel Robots would be such a young man in his twenties.

Forcing herself upright from the ground.

She looked at Xu Mo and spoke seriously.

"Thank you!"

"Thanks aren't just words!"

"Can you stand?"

After saying that, Xu Mo watched as she struggled to prop herself up with both arms, but she failed both times.

Xu Mo sighed.

He stepped forward, picked White Queen up from the ground, and shot into the distance.

New York, Brooklyn.

Inside a seaside villa under Xu Mo's name.

"Mmgh!"

With a muffled groan from White Queen, the bullet lodged in her shoulder flew out through the wound.

"Tear open the clothing around the wound!"

Xu Mo opened the medical kit and took out medicine and bandages.

"I don't think we need to make it so troublesome!"

As she spoke, White Queen directly took off her top, leaving only her bra.

"Isn't this more convenient?"

Xu Mo froze for a moment, then gave her a long look before shrugging.

"Whatever makes you happy!"

Seeing Xu Mo's expression, White Queen smiled faintly.

After bandaging her wound, Xu Mo sat down across from her.

"You were lucky. It didn't damage any internal organs, but you'll need to rest for a while!"

White Queen lay weakly on the sofa, tilting her head as she studied Xu Mo across from her.

"You seem to know me?"

As a Mutant with Telepathy, her grasp of microexpressions was stronger than that of even veteran psychologists.

Although she had been unable to sense his thoughts from beginning to end.

Just from the way he looked at her, she had concluded that he must know who she was.

Xu Mo did not answer. Instead, he gave a light wave of his hand.

A bottle of whiskey and two glasses flew out from the wine cabinet nearby.

He caught them and poured a glass for each of them.

"That isn't important. I saved you only because you're of some use to me, nothing more!"

White Queen's expression did not change much after hearing this.

As someone who had once ranked second only to Black King Shaw in Hellfire, she naturally understood that he would not risk himself to save her for no reason.

If he had saved her, it was naturally because she was worth his effort.

By now, after the medicine had been applied, the pain in her shoulder had subsided.

She rose from the sofa and walked over to Xu Mo.

"Useful?"

White Queen lightly brushed her hand over Xu Mo's face, a seductive smile appearing on her lips.

"Useful in the way I'm thinking?"

Half an hour later.

After telling White Queen to recuperate at the villa, Xu Mo shot up into the sky.

White Queen stood before the villa window, watching Xu Mo disappear into the sky.

Back in the forest, her Telepathy had already been unable to sense his existence.

And just now, she had tried twice more, with the same result as before.

It was not like Professor X, where she could sense the other person but was unable to penetrate their mental defenses.

With Xu Mo, she simply could not sense his existence at all.

By comparison, his ability was even more terrifying than Professor X's.

Moreover, judging from their recent encounter, he not only possessed an extraordinarily powerful physique but also the ability to manipulate things with his mind. Among all the Mutants she knew, there seemed to be no one more terrifying than him.

That was also why she had decisively chosen to submit.

Xu Mo flew through the sky, recalling the information White Queen had given him earlier.

A few years ago, White Queen, Emma, had been targeted by Bolivar Trask's Mutant research company.

After clashing with them several times, she realized that she could not contend with their Sentinel Robots, so she chose to live in seclusion and constantly evade the robots' pursuit.

But unexpectedly, an accidental incident some time ago had caused those robots to target her again.

That was what had led to the scene in the forest earlier.

Xu Mo understood that the main reason she had so readily agreed to stay was the pressure the Sentinel Robots had placed on her.

Without his protection, Emma would likely become a member of the Mutant research laboratory before long.

Of course, she would undoubtedly be there as a research subject.
