Chapter 78: Buying Professor X's Castle
During the trip, Loser explains the meaning of his name, and David tells him that he is his mother's surname and Charles is his father's name.
Here, David Haller is an ordinary man, with scorched yellow hair, driving an old Chevrolet, and completely dressed as a loser.
However, in the X-Men world, he is one of the few omega-class mutants with thousands of superpowers, and has fought against superpowers such as Shadow King and Monk.
"My father, Charles Xavier..."
"It's Charles Francis Xavier, I know him, he's a geneticist, he's done a lot in biophysics, genetics, and so on."
Anna thinks it's normal, the circle of creatures is so small, and with Maya's current network status, they all know each other.
Unfortunately, Professor Charles died at the beginning of '07, fell down the stairs, fell under the stairs, and never got up again.
Anna felt embarrassed, this Professor X, who was also one of the best people in the parallel universe, went to this universe and died of cerebral hemiplegia due to a stroke.
Anna then watched Maya and David talk about Xavier Castle.
When Maya knew that Xavier Castle was in Westchester County, she felt bad.
Anna knew that Maya was expecting Manhattan, just like on Madison Avenue, and if it weren't for the RAND Group's involvement, Maya would have moved in at the end of the previous year.
Westchester County doesn't even belong to New York.
New York City includes five boroughs, Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the Bronx.
Manhattan is the heart of New York.
In the eyes of Manhattans, New York City is Manhattan, and others like Queens and Brooklyn are later, not to mention the Bronx, ghettos.
Westchester County, on the other hand, is not even New York City, but an administrative unit that runs parallel to New York City.
In particular, Westchester County is bordered by the Bronx, a slum in New York.
Maya's attitude was not good all of a sudden.
She felt that Westchester and Manhattan were like the difference between the countryside and the city center, one was still herding cattle, and the other was already doing the subway.
In fact, Anna felt that Westchester County was not as bad as Maya imagined, and compared with Anna's capital in the previous life, its geographical location was almost the difference between inside and outside the Second Ring Road.
Isn't it out of Haidian District?
But Maya has been used to vanity all her life, so she fights with Zhao Helen non-stop for the sake of being a world-class geneticist.
Take a look at the place where you have stayed in these days, One Central Park, the address is called Midtown Manhattan, referred to as Midtown.
It's one of Manhattan's most crowded and bustling areas.
The curtain is open to the Stark Building, a little farther away, is the Empire State Building, known as the symbol of the United States, that is, the legendary place where King Kong climbed up to take a plane, and a little further away is the famous Rockefeller Center, in addition to the United Nations Headquarters and other famous buildings.
Just these few days, it's called refreshing, take a run, and the hotel is out of the hotel, which is the largest park in Manhattan, Central Park, and near the famous Hell's Kitchen. Take a boat next to the Hudson River, where the aircraft carrier Intrepid stays.
In the Mayan concept, this is the city center.
What is Westchester County in comparison, the yellow earth that comes out of the middle of nowhere?
David Haller, the son of Professor X, was in a hurry, and Anna felt that he should have finally found a wronged man, and then the wronged one was ready to run away, and he was going to cry.
David kept instilling new ideas with Maya, who lived in Manhattan, those middle-class and nouveau riche who worked, and couldn't choose this congested and noisy place in order to get close to work.
Where the real upper elite lived, Long Beach, Long Island, yes, that's where Doctor Octopus once lived.
In David's explanation, the upper elite don't need to work from 9 to 5 at all, and they don't need to catch the subway, so they are looking for a house where the scenery is beautiful and the air is good and you can see the beach.
Then he fooled Maya and said that Westchester County is now the second in Long Beach, and in the future it will be beyond Long Beach, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is still a big castle, even if 100 people move in, they will not feel congested.
Maya was moved by this.
Then David, this guy, didn't wait for Maya to reply, stepped on the accelerator, and drove directly on the highway, which was to buy and sell.
Westchester County said that it was not close, and it was necessary to drive through the Upper East Side, over Harlem, through the Yanks, and finally beyond the Bronx border before reaching its destination.
At high speed, it is full of greenery.
This is the boundary of New York City, which is already a suburb.
The lane is a dual carriageway, there are only two lanes coming and going, and there are trees on both sides, and the taste of the trees is still good.
All the way, through the forest that covers the sky, and finally came to a square, and the vision suddenly opened up.
Xavier Castle has arrived.
Seeing the castle, Maya's only remaining doubts were gone, and her attitude took a 180° turn, and she felt that 80 million euros was too much worth it.
It is a square castle with an extremely rich history.
The spires of the towers appear and disappear in the wind-swept forest, and the crystal clear water of the lake is behind them. The surface of the lake is as flat as a mirror, and there are swans swimming in the lake. The garden is well manicured and there are peacocks walking on the lawn.
Maya's attitude towards David was noticeably better.
Anna watched Maya's eyes glow, and she sensed something was wrong.
Sure enough, Maya stabbed herself.
"Credit card."
Anna was very aggrieved, wasn't it just a deposit of 50,000 US dollars, she felt that Maya had searched to the extreme, and she was grinding.
"Do you bring it or not?"
Anna wanted to say that she didn't bring it, but she also pretended to look for the satchel again, spread her hands, and said that she had forgotten it at the hotel.
But Maya is not such a foolish lord, she knows the nature of her daughter, she will forget everything, how can money be forgotten.
Seeing a piece of Anna's belly in front of the small pocket, he poked the card: "What's on this." ”
She can touch the Bank of America logo.
Then, with a hand, he pulled his bank card out of his pocket, despite Anna's opinion.
Anna wanted to delay for a while.
"Don't bother, I brought a pos machine."
Anna looked at David coldly, she felt that David was really cheap, carrying a pos machine with him, and he could sell his ancestral home.
I just don't know if Professor X will hunt down across dimensions and stuff David back to where he came from.
