Chapter 60: Parting on Bad Terms

Jean Grey is not the kind of young person who doesn't fight back when scolded, she said angrily: "As long as what we do brings good results, what's wrong with that?"

"Even if it violates the person's own wishes?" Henry asked back.

Jean Grey's words stalled. She said reluctantly: "We are doing it for his own good."

"Heh." Henry went further: "Suppose there is an old lady whose most beloved child died in an accident, so she is immersed in sad emotions all day, even affecting her health and daily life.

"Do you think it's better to take it upon yourself to erase the memory of the child's accident from the old lady's memory. Let her change from knowing the child is dead to the child being missing, from sad to worried, is that better?

"Or simply erase the memory of this child from the old lady's brain entirely. Let her forget that she once had a child she loved incomparably, so she doesn't need to be immersed in sadness, and it won't affect her health.

"Is this also a good thing, is it the right thing to do? She doesn't have the memories of that child, indeed she doesn't have sadness, but the memories she cherished most are also gone.

"Without sadness, and without love, her life was dug out by you, probably the most important piece. Is this kind of thing something you can decide on your own without passing through that old lady?"

"I..." Jean Grey, who was asked to be dazed, seemed a bit at a loss.

Henry used his final strike, pointing at Jean Grey and saying: "If the protagonist in this tragic story is yourself, can you still agree that the person who did this is right?"

Although he didn't know which version of Phoenix this was, looking at this silly, sweet, pure appearance... oh, no, it's pure appearance, he could probably guess that the mental shackles set by Professor X in her brain were still there.

Of course, Henry didn't say these things because he wanted to expose the facts for anyone, he just couldn't help but want to mock a few words.

It was Mystique who came out to hug her student and said loudly: "Don't listen to his rhetoric. He is just swapping concepts and confusing your judgment."

"Aha, there are still smart people." Henry laughed. The mouth-cannon skills of a professional keyboard warrior for decades, although there was a blank period in the middle, that was not something a little girl without hair on her mouth could win.

This version of Phoenix looks like she hasn't been an adult for long, at most the age of just graduating from college. With Professor X's way of pampering education, she probably hasn't seen much of the world, so it's especially easy to play with. Not playing with her is simply sorry for himself.

This is like seeing a kitten and always wanting to pull its whiskers. Hand-itch is nothing more than this.

However, Mystique is an old oil stick who has seen the world, and she hasn't studied less psychology knowledge.

She pointed to the direction of departure and said: "Get out, alien. I think we have learned our lesson from the offense against you today. You don't need to stay and continue to play your glib tongue."

This is an order to evict guests. Henry laughed: "Oh, is this considered an apology?"

"I, a tasteless woman, would apologize?" Mystique grabbed the evaluation Henry had secretly mocked before and fiercely counterattacked.

"Hahaha. I express my sincerest apologies for the trouble we have brought you. I am very sorry. It's okay, I forgive you all."

Although this passage sounds like the content of an active apology. But when Henry said it, it sounded more like he represented the X-Men, letting them apologize to himself, and then he forgave the other party.

Without waiting for Cyclops, who brought back the visor, to get angry again, Henry stepped away with a relaxed pace.

On the way away, he evaluated this accidental exchange. Although he won a small victory against the X-Men, Henry was not complacent.

Rather than saying that the Kryptonian's ability after being irradiated by the yellow sun was too powerful, it was better to say that the gap in intelligence allowed him to catch his opponent off guard, laying the foundation for victory.

Although he couldn't recognize who was who at first glance, he could still judge the other party's identity from certain characteristics, thereby knowing the other party's ability.

Plus the most troublesome Omega-level mutant, Professor X, was ruined in the first place. Before his intelligence was fully exposed, calculating the unintentional with the intentional, achieving such a record was not surprising.

Moreover, this was just a small test, both sides hadn't started fighting for their lives yet.

The most troublesome trait of superheroes is the indomitable resilience. The Japanese way of saying it is 'small universe explosion', the local Marvel way of saying it is 'I can play with you all day'.

Moving and then reviving with full blood on the spot, I really doubt if these people are really Earthlings.

And when everyone really fights for their lives, the fighting style won't be like the house-playing style before.

This is also why Henry only thought he won a small game, not some big victory or crushing worth being proud of.

Actually, if he could, he wouldn't even want such a small victory. Exposing his abilities for nothing, and didn't get any benefits.

He didn't want to apply for the X-Men, and never thought about becoming a member of the mutants. What's the point of exposing his abilities?

This is not like last time, wanting to apply for Ms. Audrey Hepburn's driver and bodyguard, so he didn't hesitate to expose his steel body ability, just hoping to increase the chance of successful employment. This time it was really forced.

As for the problem of the mutant group, it's still the old saying, he is an alien, why mix with them.

It's thankless, and the main thing is that even if he makes some achievements, he won't necessarily receive the gratitude of all mutants.

There will always be opposition factions singing the opposite, traitor factions dragging their feet, speculative factions only wanting to get benefits, and Virgin Mary factions wanting him to pay more. More are surrender factions and reality-avoidance factions, always thinking they can live the same ordinary life as before.

Seriously, the black group is not that hard to deal with!

Anyway, Henry, who returned to Manhattan, still positioned himself as a little assistant to an over-the-hill big star, and didn't want to care about the life and death of those mutants. He still has work to do.

Going out today can only be considered snatching leisure from a busy schedule. It's a pity that this beautiful time was disturbed by a group of blind uninvited guests, and the passing time won't come back.

So Henry had to use his super ability to compress the things he wanted to do, and handle them as much as possible. He had to drive to pick up Ms. Audrey Hepburn and her family before dinner, and go to the reserved restaurant for a meal.

Speaking of which, Ms. Hepburn's eldest son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, entered the film industry after graduating from college, relying on his parents' connections.

This year, he even served as an executive producer for the first time and participated in the production of a movie. His father, Mel Ferrer, this old-school star, even made a cameo in the movie.

The lady's younger son, Luca Dotti, is still studying in college and specifically asked for leave to come to New York to see his mother.

It's ironic to say. Although Audrey Hepburn attaches great importance to family, her family, except for her, has no other ties, and they are not close to each other.

After this meal today, except for Robert Wolders, the current boyfriend, who will stay, the two children will also return to their respective lives.

Just like the suffering of 'not getting what one wants' in the eight sufferings of Buddhism.
