Chapter 568

Su Quan and Jean Grey teased each other for a few moments, which gave Ororo Munroe more time to consider.

However, no matter how she considered it, the result was actually the same.

She had no room to refuse.

It wasn't that Su Quan was small-minded, but everything is afraid of comparison!

What did Apocalypse do?

He killed the stall owner and those people, saved her, enhanced her abilities, and then she became one of Apocalypse's Four Horsemen.

Apocalypse could be said to have recruited her without any effort.

He had also had people save her, and although he hadn't enhanced her abilities, considering the comprehensive wealth and influence, wasn't he just as good?

Besides, she didn't even know about things like ability enhancement.

So, if she, who had easily surrendered to Apocalypse, refused his invitation, heh...

Having grown up safely on the streets and being able to take care of so many stray children, Ororo Munroe obviously wasn't naive enough to think Su Quan had really given her a choice, so after a moment of thought, she had already made her decision.

"I am willing to join you," Ororo Munroe said, slightly lifting her head.

"A smart choice!" Su Quan raised his lips in pleasure and casually picked up an unused plate from the table, activating his ability.

"Swish!"

In an instant, the material changed, and the ordinary plate turned directly into a pure gold plate!

"A welcome gift for you; you can keep it for yourself, or exchange it for money to leave for those children." As Su Quan finished speaking, the gold plate flew on its own to Ororo Munroe.

Ororo Munroe caught it blankly and instinctively put it to her mouth to bite it gently.

It was gold!

This... what kind of ability is this? It's literally turning stones into gold!

Su Quan didn't mind her shock and smiled, pointing at Big Blink: "Her name is Clarice Ferguson, codename Blink; we all call her Big Blink, and she will wait for you here."

Ororo Munroe looked at Big Blink; although not obvious, she was indeed older than her.

"Is she not coming with me?" Ororo Munroe asked hesitantly.

Su Quan smiled and shook his head: "No need, I'm not afraid of you running away."

Ororo Munroe asked in confusion: "Why? I'm a thief, after all."

"No one wants to live in darkness, unless their world has no light at all." Su Quan stood up, looked at her, and asked: "Do you believe in the light?"

Ororo Munroe's eyes lit up: "I didn't believe in it before, but now... I am willing to believe!"

"I am that light in your life!" Su Quan patted Ororo Munroe's head and snapped his fingers.

"Snap!"

Su Quan disappeared, and Jean Grey and the others disappeared too; only Ororo Munroe and Big Blink remained in the restaurant.

Ororo Munroe was stunned for a moment, hid the gold plate, and said solemnly to Big Blink: "I will definitely come back, wait for me!"

Big Blink smiled sweetly: "Okay."

Ororo Munroe turned and walked out of the restaurant, soon disappearing into the crowd at the market.

She first went to a reliable second-hand shop to sell the gold plate, exchanging it for a large amount of small-denomination Egyptian pounds.

Then she found all the stray children, returned home, told them the news that she was leaving, and divided the money among them.

Having arranged everything, she gave a few final, worried instructions before leaving with reluctance.

Returning to the restaurant, Big Blink threw out a teleportation crystal, and with Ororo Munroe, who was alone and full of longing for the future, they arrived in a magnificent hotel suite.

"Where is this?" Looking at the environment and style, which were clearly different from Egypt, Ororo Munroe asked curiously.

Big Blink smiled and said: "The United States."

"Th-this is the United States? We... we just went from Egypt to the United States?" Ororo Munroe exclaimed in wonder, saying enviously: "Your ability is so magical."

Big Blink shook her head: "My ability is nothing; you'll know later. The abilities on Void Island are strange and varied; there are all kinds of magical powers."

"And... if you want to talk about the most magical and powerful one, it's definitely the Master!"

Ororo Munroe nodded repeatedly, then asked in a confused, low voice: "M-Master doesn't seem to be here?"

"Pfft..." Little Mystique laughed and introduced herself, answering her own question: "Do you know our status? We are the Void Guard, and our main duty is to protect the Master, although the Master doesn't need our protection at all."

"Void Guard?" Ororo Munroe murmured.

"Where the Master is, we are! Conversely, where we are, the Master is!"

Little Mystique pointed at the closed suite door with her chin and said with a smile: "The Master and Phoenix are inside."

Ororo Munroe's face turned red instantly, and then she asked in a hesitant, low voice: "Is... is everyone... supposed to..."

Little Mystique understood and said with a light laugh: "Theoretically, everything we have belongs to the Master, but even if you wanted to, it might not be your turn, heh, there are many people waiting."

Big Blink patted Ororo Munroe and said with a smile: "You go take a shower first, and then I'll take you to buy some clothes; the rest can wait until the Master arranges it."

"O-okay, thank you!"

At this moment, Ororo Munroe was a bit like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden; everything she encountered made her feel curious and uneasy.

Regardless, the United States at this time was indeed the most developed and advanced country in the world; to say that she, coming from Egypt, was a country bumpkin was not an exaggeration at all.

After all, Egypt itself wasn't known for being developed and advanced, and the wealth gap was huge; Ororo Munroe, coming from the streets, had very little knowledge outside of survival experience.

The moon set and the sun rose.

A new day began.

Ororo Munroe woke up from the clean and comfortable bed, the warm sunlight shining on her, giving her a sense of unreality as if she were in a dream.

"Awake?"

"Then get up, tidy up, we're getting ready to leave."

Big Blink pushed the door open and said with a smile to the dazed Ororo Munroe.

Ororo Munroe hurriedly sat up, and while getting dressed, asked curiously: "Where are we going?"

"Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters."

The sun was bright, and the grass was lush.

On the lawn of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a purple portal appeared out of thin air, and Su Quan and his group walked out.

"Who are you people!"

As soon as they walked out, they heard a vigilant question.

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a red-haired girl holding books.

And then...

One by one, they revealed smiles that were hard to describe.

Those were smiles ready to watch the drama!

"Is it her?"

"Judging by the hair color, it should be."

"She seems a bit... sturdy, and the scale is quite large; just based on this scale, it doesn't look like her!"

The group whispered, looking at the red-haired girl in front of them while glancing at Jean Grey beside Su Quan.
