Chapter 437
"You will protect me, right?"
Anna was a bit worried, but also very fortunate. If she hadn't met Su Quan and hadn't left home with Su Quan, today's attack by these two people might have harmed her parents.
Su Quan reached out and pulled her over, saying with a smile: "You are my person, of course I will protect you! However, I don't want you to just be a vase that needs my protection. I also have higher expectations for you; I hope you can grow up as quickly as possible."
"I... I'm still alive?" Psylocke, lying on the ground, woke up leisurely, slowly opened her eyes, and looked around weakly and dazed.
"You won't live much longer..." Su Quan sat on the sofa, gently shaking a glass of red wine.
Psylocke woke up instantly, looking at him with complex eyes: "Where's Toad?"
"Let him go back to pass on the message, tell Old Wan not to mess with Anna's ideas anymore. You tell me, will Old Wan listen?"
"Or to put it another way, will Old Wan come to save you?"
Psylocke shook her head with a bitter smile: "If I still had value, he would definitely save me, but now... I only have one day left."
"Less than a day, you've been unconscious for a few hours."
Psylocke: "..."
Is that the point?
The point is whether he saves me or not, I'm going to die anyway, I have no value anymore.
"Heaven never closes all doors, and heaven has the virtue of loving life, so you don't have to be so pessimistic. How about we make a bet? If Old Wan comes to save you, I'll let you die; if he doesn't come to save you, I'll let you live!"
If Magneto comes, there might be a glimmer of hope; if he doesn't come, she can survive.
And whether he comes or not, it's better than just waiting to die, right?
Anyone who doesn't agree to such a bet is a fool!
"I bet!"
"You don't understand Magneto."
Su Quan smiled: "No, it's you who don't understand Magneto!"
It's true that Magneto is cold-blooded and realistic, but at the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person who thinks highly of himself. He has seen many enemies and predicaments, big and small; he is someone who has seen it all and experienced great storms and waves. How could he retreat just because of Toad's few words?
Not to mention that it concerns his most important plan, it's even more impossible to just give up like this.
Therefore, Old Wan will definitely come!
Not only will Old Wan come, but nine times out of ten—the X-Men will also come!
How Cyclops and Storm repelled Sabretooth and saved Wolverine and Anna in the movie, it should happen the same way in reality; at most, the people involved and the details will change.
Don't ask why, if you ask, it's because Su Quan is immune to causality, and the world corrects itself!
Su Quan didn't restrict Psylocke's freedom, nor did he treat her coldly. She was also very sensible, waiting honestly for the arrival of fate, and didn't pull any tricks.
Time passed bit by bit. Night fell outside the window, the lights were dazzling, and Psylocke, who had been very quiet, suddenly changed her expression and was stunned in disbelief.
"I won."
Su Quan smiled triumphantly. Psylocke's sensory ability had already sensed that mutants had appeared nearby.
There were two mutants in total.
According to the level standards Psylocke was used to, one was Level 3, possessing a toad physique, agility, and a long tongue; the other was Level 4, capable of controlling magnetic fields.
These two mutants were exactly Toad and Magneto!
"Any last words, anything you want to say?" Su Quan asked understandingly.
Psylocke: You call this understanding?
Psylocke, who couldn't believe Magneto would really come, took a deep breath and said seriously: "I don't want to die."
Su Quan nodded with a smile: "I know."
"..."
Psylocke stood up and collapsed to her knees on the ground with a thud.
That was loud—no, wait, that was loud!
Su Quan glanced at her knees and heard her say: "Let me live, let me work for you, and create more value for you!"
"My speed is very fast, and I can also sense the abilities and levels of mutants, I..."
Su Quan interrupted: "Your speed is very fast?"
Psylocke was choked, silent for a few seconds, and changed her words: "Except for you... I am faster than anyone else!"
Su Quan curled his lips: "Ever heard of Quicksilver?"
Who is Quicksilver?
Psylocke opened her mouth, suddenly having the urge to give up struggling.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the hotel room door was pushed open, and Toad walked in with Magneto, who was wearing a helmet and cloak.
Magneto, this little old man, held his chest high and head up, walking with a vigorous and majestic stride, full of aura.
Seeing Psylocke kneeling to Su Quan, Magneto snorted with dissatisfaction and raised his hand.
In an instant, the metal on Psylocke's leather choker was controlled, directly lifting her up and starting to tighten rapidly.
"Uh... uh..." The feeling of suffocation made Psylocke, whose feet were not touching the ground, struggle painfully.
Old Wan is Old Wan, his actions are cold and ruthless.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Control Magnetic Fields (Magneto)"
Psylocke's two abilities had already been farmed previously.
"Although I haven't accepted his allegiance yet, but... you are taking me too lightly, aren't you?"
Su Quan smiled, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers.
"Snap!"
The moment the snapping sound fell, Magneto frowned, his face showing surprise.
Psylocke collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, looking at Su Quan with gratitude.
Magneto's face was gloomy as he attacked Psylocke again, but the metal that had originally been like a part of his body suddenly stopped listening to his commands.
That feeling was like seeing a beautiful woman on the street; the kidneys tell the eyes not to look, having the heart but not the power, but the eyes seem to have already been attracted by the other party, ignoring the kidneys' words.
"You used gravity to control it? No, that's not right, it's not gravity! If it were gravity, what I should feel is pulling, not..."
"You can also control the magnetic field of metal?!"
Even though he had seen all kinds of storms and waves and seen all kinds of abilities, Magneto still couldn't help but be moved.
This was the first time he had encountered an ability identical to his own!
Su Quan smiled brilliantly: "Unexpected, right? Surprised, right? I told you not to come, but you didn't listen. Now it's fine, I have the only ability you have, and I'm stronger than you. Isn't this awkward now?"
Magneto was surprised but not panicked. He glanced at the dumbfounded Toad and laughed.
"You really surprised me. I've been thinking, if I get old, if I die, what will happen to the Brotherhood, what will happen to mutants."
"I'm very happy to see you today. You can control gravity, control magnetic fields, and you should also have the ability of teleportation."
"You can inherit my mantle and lead the Brotherhood of Mutants to continue fighting for mutants."
"Child, I can be your father. After I die, everything I have will belong to you!"
"You can become the new Magneto!"
Passionate and sincere, Magneto opened his arms as if to welcome Su Quan's embrace.
Su Quan also raised his hand, and an invisible shockwave blasted fiercely toward Magneto's head.
"Buzz!"
Highly symbolic, the helmet that had accompanied Magneto for countless years was instantly shattered into pieces, with fragments flying everywhere.
Magneto's eyes widened, and the premonition of death frantically impacted his mind. Too late to think of anything else, with agility inconsistent with his age, he instinctively moved downward to avoid the shockwave's attack.
"Boom!"
A heavy impact sound rang out, and Anna, Psylocke, and Toad in the room were all dumbfounded and stunned upon seeing this scene.
