Chapter 550
Su Quan had accomplished several major events in succession, which could be described as rising to fame and making a big splash. His first famous battle was rescuing Polaris Lorna from the Sentinel Services, which had set a dragnet for her.
Therefore, his relationship with the underground organization was no secret.
Evangeline had thought about meeting Su Quan and had imagined the scene of meeting him, but she never imagined that it would end up happening in this way.
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Su Quan, this is our first meeting." Evangeline spoke after a moment of contemplation.
*It's our first meeting, and you opened a portal directly into my bedroom without even saying hello. Aren't you being a bit too informal?
*Good thing I've always been single, otherwise, at this hour, I might have died of social embarrassment...
Su Quan smiled and said: "Is this kind of first meeting unforgettable?"
*I thank you so much!
*It's truly unforgettable—unforgettable to the core.
Evangeline felt a lump in her throat. She took a few deep breaths to suppress her burning desire to complain and glanced at the quiet, obedient, and curious Rebecca.
"I presume you already know my relationship with Lorna. As for me, I have also heard some things about you. Your help to the underground organization and your kind is worthy of praise and thanks."
"So..."
"Speak plainly, what exactly do you want with me?"
Evangeline did not believe his purpose was to see her transform or to make her change jobs.
Especially the latter.
It was true that she was an X-Man, but the X-Men were now in name only, and the Professor and others had gone missing. Her current job, or mission, was to help more mutants.
Those mutants in need of help were her bosses.
Change bosses?
How to change?
It was impossible to change!
Su Quan smiled without answering. He took wine and glasses from his personal space, poured a glass for Evangeline first, then one for himself, and finally, under Rebecca's burning gaze, poured one for her as well.
Su Quan invited Evangeline: "Shall we sit down and talk slowly?"
"Fine."
The three of them sat on the sofa, and the portal disappeared immediately.
Su Quan had no other intentions toward Evangeline, nor was he interested in obtaining her ability, but her professional talent as a lawyer and her characteristic of transforming into a dragon were still very attractive.
First, his own forces needed a lawyer. Internally, there was the Quandou Society and Madripoor; externally, there was S. . . . . . and the U. . government. In certain specific environments, the power of a lawyer was even greater than that of a super-powered individual.
Secondly, what man doesn't want to be a dragon knight? Petting dogs, cats, and wolves—how could that be as exciting as petting a dragon?
If he put Evangeline in the small garden later, with mountains, water, bamboo forests, and a giant dragon, how exciting would that be?
Although there were dragons on the Ta Lo side, the two types of dragons were not to be mentioned in the same breath.
In the TV series, Evangeline's transformation was only touched upon, merely changing her hands into claws to indicate her identity.
But in the comics, she could turn into a giant red dragon. Besides transforming voluntarily, once she was stained with blood, even just a few drops, she would involuntarily transform into a dragon and lose control.
Su Quan was very curious if she could transform completely into a giant dragon like in the comics.
"Actually... I come from the multiverse."
Hearing Su Quan's opening line, Evangeline burst out laughing and sprayed the wine she had just taken into her mouth.
She wiped the corners of her mouth while coughing, widened her eyes, and asked blankly: "Are... are you serious?"
Su Quan shrugged and said: "Yes, if you don't believe me, you can ask Lorna and the others. We haven't been back from another world for long."
"Also..."
"After rescuing her from the Linwood Psychiatric Hospital, the other mutants were also sent by me to another world."
Rebecca was stunned upon hearing this and asked in surprise: "Void Island is in another world?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god, that's so cool!" Rebecca excitedly grabbed Su Quan's arm and pleaded: "Master, I want to go... I want to see another world."
"Wait a minute..." Evangeline asked Su Quan skeptically: "You didn't send all the mutants you've helped during this time to an... another world, did you?"
Su Quan nodded and said: "The world where Void Island is currently located also has mutants. The Professor in that world isn't bald yet, and the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters was only recently established."
"After I achieve all my goals, I will take Void Island back to the world I operate in. That world has no mutants, but it has all kinds of super-powered individuals and similar races."
"Under my protection, mutants there can live and work in peace under the sun just like ordinary people, without being oppressed or discriminated against."
Evangeline was dumbfounded; the amount of information was too large, and she needed a moment to process it.
Taking mutants to another world to live—it seemed... it seemed similar to what they had been doing all along?
The difference was...
They could only provide fake identities and help wanted mutants smuggle themselves to places where the relevant laws were not strict, carefully starting their lives over again.
Going to another world?
Although they would also have to start their lives over, that world had no mutants, and even less of a Sentinel Services. Mutants wouldn't have to live carefully and displaced, nor would they have their families torn apart and destroyed!
Taking a deep breath, Evangeline looked at Su Quan and said seriously: "As long as you can prove that everything you said is true, I am willing to help you!"
Su Quan shook his head with a smile: "Proving these things is simple, but I don't want your help; I want you to work for me."
Evangeline smiled and said: "Fine, as long as you can do it."
It was done.
The goal of having Evangeline change bosses was achieved; now only the matter of making her transform remained.
Su Quan smiled and waved his hand. With a *whoosh*, a stunned Lorna appeared out of thin air.
"Su Quan?"
"Evangeline?"
"You... how are you two together?"
Lorna looked in surprise at Su Quan and Evangeline drinking on the sofa, especially Evangeline—she... she was wearing pajamas, right?
As for Rebecca, she didn't know her, so naturally, she wouldn't have any special reaction.
Besides, wasn't it normal for Su Quan to have women around him?
Whether it was Void Island or the underground organization, were there few women around him?
"Long time no see, Lorna." Evangeline greeted her with a smile.
She didn't know yet that Lorna had misunderstood her relationship with Su Quan because of Su Quan's preferences. If she had known, it wouldn't have been a greeting, but an explanation.
Lorna nodded in response, reached out to grab Su Quan's wine glass, and drank it in one gulp: "What's the matter, calling me over?"
"I'll pass a piece of memory to you all first, and then you take them to Void Island for a tour."
After Su Quan finished speaking, he directly connected to the three of them with his psychic ability and then passed a copy of the relevant memories of Void Island and the Marvel world to each of them.
