Chapter 740

~7 min read 1,259 words

It is not easy to make old hands like Azazel and Riptide follow you wholeheartedly.

You either move them with emotion or promise them benefits.

Su Quan did not want to move them with emotion, so he could only promise them benefits. As for the effect, it looked pretty good so far!

Angel Salvadore, who could only spit and flap her wings to run away, suddenly gained ice and fire energy, which made the loyalty of Azazel and Riptide soar, almost overflowing.

Although their treatment was not bad when they were with their previous boss, the Black King, it was only "not bad." With their abilities, they could do well no matter who they followed.

Oh, except for following the "man of the scene," Wan Ciwang.

Angel Salvadore, Azazel, Riptide, including the White Queen—one by one, they were all eventually dissected. Their end was truly miserable!

What do you get by following Su Quan?

Nothing else can be seen for now, other than knowing Su Quan is very strong, has many abilities, and has this uninhabited island called Void Island as a base.

And then?

He can enhance the abilities of mutants!

This point alone is enough to make 99.9% of mutants follow him wholeheartedly and work for him!

To put it bluntly, following the Black King, Wan Ciwang, or Professor X, no matter how good the treatment is or what you can get, it is all temporary.

But following Su Quan, the enhanced ability is your own.

Anyone with a brain should know how to choose!

Su Quan did not help Azazel and Riptide enhance their abilities, and they didn't feel it was unfair; after all, their status and position were different.

It was just made very clear that the two of them would be responsible for the affairs of Void Island in the future.

And Angel Salvadore?

There were no arrangements or tasks at all!

Everything has two sides. No arrangements and no tasks mean either one's status is transcendent, or... one has no status.

Obviously, Angel Salvadore was the latter!

Su Quan enhanced her, on one hand, to tell them that he possessed such means, so they should work hard in the future.

On the other hand, it was also because Angel Salvadore was insignificant!

They were different. Since the boss—oh no, the employer—had already handed the base over to them to be responsible for, he naturally had to examine their loyalty and ability!

So Azazel and Riptide didn't feel it was unfair; on the contrary, they were full of energy!

Although this team on Void Island had just opened for business, the boss had such abilities, and there was a foundation like the White Queen and them under his command. The future development was bound to be limitless!

"Boss, we want to go back to the Hellfire Club first. It's still in time; we can get the Black King's legacy to use for future construction and operations," Azazel suggested.

"Handle it yourselves."

Su Quan didn't care much about the Black King's legacy. He could turn stones into gold and had countless worlds as support; he really didn't care much about money.

Azazel had just joined him and volunteered, so it wasn't good to refuse. He let them go for such a small matter.

Moreover, Su Quan wasn't afraid that they wouldn't come back.

Azazel took Riptide and teleported away. Su Quan glanced at Angel Salvadore, who was still excitedly studying the ice and fire energy, and spoke indifferently.

"You were persuading me to defect to the Black King earlier, and now it's 'really fragrant'?"

Angel Salvadore didn't take it to heart; all her dissatisfaction and embarrassment were washed away by her enhanced strength.

"Boss, your ability is too powerful, too magical. I... I don't know what to say. Let me dance for you!"

Angel Salvadore's only skill was dancing, and she also knew that this was what Su Quan liked about her.

All her excitement and gratitude were in the dance!

Angel Salvadore used all her skills, dancing even more seriously and focused than when she performed on stage before.

And don't say, although her looks and figure were average and couldn't be presented on any big stage, in her area of expertise, there was indeed a feeling of shining and radiating, a kind of unique charm.

Su Quan was very satisfied watching, wanting to wave his hand and shout: "Good work, reward!"

Just as Azazel and Riptide were scavenging the Black King's legacy, and Su Quan was stealing a day of leisure on Void Island enjoying the dance.

Because of the mutants, the relationship between the US and the Soviet Union had completely eased, and the war that might have been triggered had completely become history's dust.

Although the existence of mutants was not exposed on a large scale, some high-level officials already knew of their existence. Although the opinion on how to treat mutants had not yet been decided, the X-Department was considered completely disbanded.

Charles Xavier, who was paralyzed after being shot, led Beast, Banshee, and Havok to open the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters after being discharged from the hospital, becoming the true Professor X.

But... Raven had left.

Also leaving was Moira MacTaggert, who had helped establish the school.

Then, the two came to Void Island together.

Walking in the palace, the bursts of dynamic music made the two somewhat surprised. In their impression, it seemed Su Quan didn't like listening to music, especially this kind of dynamic, noisy music.

Pushing open the door, the noisy music was deafening, and their expressions became strange.

Su Quan was leaning on the head of the bed in a bathrobe, drinking wine. Directly in front of him, Angel Salvadore was like a butterfly, flapping her wings and dancing gracefully to the music.

If—and that's a big if—she hadn't been so "candid" while dancing, or rather, not so thoroughly candid, it would have been even better.

Angel Salvadore was also an old hand. She glanced at Su Quan without changing her expression, and seeing Su Quan nod slightly, she turned off the music, put on her things, and flew away past the two of them.

Su Quan's mood seemed very good. He took a sip of wine and asked the two with a smile: "Come to have your abilities removed?"

Moira MacTaggert looked at Raven, and Raven nodded hesitantly.

"Do you need to make any preparations?" Moira MacTaggert asked Su Quan.

Su Quan shook his head: "The one who needs to make preparations is her. Now that the ability is removed, it won't be so easy to recover it."

"Without your ability, you will no longer be the Mystique of a thousand faces. Once someone knows your ability has been removed, your days probably won't be easy."

"At least those guys who want to deal with mutants won't let go of such good research material."

Raven and Moira MacTaggert were both silent.

Indeed, even if the ability was removed, it didn't mean Raven could wash her hands of it and retire from the world.

It could even be said that if the ability was really removed, that would be the beginning of danger and trouble.

Moira MacTaggert didn't express an opinion. Being in the system, she knew very well that the possibility of this happening was very high.

However, if Raven didn't remove her ability, the dog-blood misunderstanding of the three of them would be hard to resolve, so she didn't say anything and let Raven make her own choice. ===== CHAPTER 742 =====
