Chapter Ninety-Six: A Strange Reward

"Director, the sea area where the golden sailboat was discovered for the first time, except for some fragments and traces left by the military fighter jet that was crashed and exploded.

There was no trace of the golden sailing ship, not even a small patch of golden paint, let alone other more valuable clues......"

"So, you ran away for nothing this time?" Through video communication, seeing the U.S. fleet cruising behind Hill and a few warplanes flashing by, Nick Fury frowned, and then asked straightforwardly: "Can't you even detect what fuel the golden sailboat uses as power?" ”

Nick Fury's focus is simple and practical.

Because whether it is gasoline and nuclear fuel used on a large scale on Earth, or the cosmic cube with infinite energy that S.H.I.E.L.D. took from Hydra, when they release energy, they will always leave traces of one kind or another.

So normally, as long as you search for similar traces, you won't find nothing.

But after hearing this, Hill glanced down at the search results in his hand, but said helplessly: "Yes, Director!" ”

"In that case, you should withdraw first and let the military toss it by itself!"

After ending the video call with Hill, Nick Fury turned his head to look at the satellite surveillance footage of New York City in the war room, and then was silent for a while before instructing the secretary who was following him: "Go and call Melinda!" ”

…………

Before the second group of fighters dispatched by the military arrived in the area, Ellis had already returned to Jiang's pawn shop, and was now sitting opposite Wolverine, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

And because of the little naughty, the atmosphere between the two sides is relatively harmonious.

"So, even if Professor X is willing to pay a lot of money for storage, wouldn't he consider pawning the 'brainwave boosted helmet' directly?" After hearing the purpose of Wolverine's visit to the pawn shop, Ellis took a sip of coffee and asked lightly.

Wolverine smiled and said, "The 'Brainwave Boosted Helmet' is important to the professor, and even to all mutants, so it can't be pawned to you directly." ”

After vaguely explaining the reason for not pawning, he said, "Why don't you hear about this storage fee first, what is it?" ”

"You say, I'll listen." After putting down his coffee, Ellis made a deaf look.

He was really curious about what Professor X would pay for the storage of the 'brainwave enhanced helmet', because as soon as he returned to the pawn shop, he controlled the Absolute Realm and conducted a sort of body search on Wolverine.

I didn't find that Wolverine had items on him that could be pawned, or that could be used as storage fees, so it was rare that he didn't say it directly, if he didn't pawn, he didn't talk about everything!

And from the perspective of maximizing profits, not all people who come to the door will pawn them invariably.

If some pawn goods are used for pawning, Ellis urgently needs.

It happens that the other party wants to get it, and he has the ability to do it, and it may not be impossible to trade directly without pawning.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that he can bypass the lottery system, save time, and get what he needs directly.

After all, the lottery involves probability, and you may be lucky enough to draw it in one go. It is also possible that like the A-class Inhuman bloodline, there is no hope of winning the lottery so far.

Of course, there are pros and cons, and the disadvantage of this is that you can't accumulate the number of draws, and you can't make profit points to upgrade the pawnshop system, and it's also very troublesome.

What's more, to this day, Ellis really hasn't found out what he urgently needs from the pawn goods brought out by the pawn guests who came to pawn.

"If you promise to help keep the 'Brainwave Boosted Helmet', Professor X is willing to pay for the location of the New York Temple, and keep silent about it!"

Although Wolverine didn't think that this so-called reward would impress Ellis, it would backfire and anger him.

But Professor X asked him to say this directly, so considering that his role this time was just an intermediary responsible for passing the word, he said it generously.

Sure enough, as he thought, after hearing this, Ellis's face turned cold directly, "Does Charles want to start a war with me?" ”

Ellis didn't think it was strange that Professor X knew the location of the New York Temple, after all, Xavier's School for the Gifted and Talented was in the greater New York area, and it was normal for him to use telepathic ability to find out the various forces in New York.

But he was upset that Professor X knew he was looking for the New York Temple.

Because there is only one explanation for this situation, that is, Professor X used his telepathic ability to invade Jiang Feng's brain.

Otherwise, if he didn't have the whole world shouting, how could Professor X know that he was looking for the New York Temple.

And with the IQ of Professor X's old fox, combined with the last time Jiang Feng disappeared, he personally went to Los Angeles, and he must have guessed that he was not God, at least not omnipotent in the absolute sense.

If the thinking diverges a little deeper, it is not possible to guess even his biggest reliance, the absolute realm.

Of course, it is impossible to guess the absolute realm directly, but it is possible to guess an approximate one!

So in that moment, Ellis had the idea of killing Professor X.

But after thinking about it again, I realized that things are not so simple.

Because with Professor X's IQ, he shouldn't be stupid enough to directly prescribe this kind of provocative 'reward', even if he guessed something because of invading Jiang Feng's brain, he would only bury this matter in his heart.

And unless you are outside the pawn shop and never do anything with others, sooner or later you will be seen through by someone with a heart, and there is a huge gap between yourself in the Jiang Pawn Shop and outside the pawn shop, so even if you kill Professor X, it will not help.

But even so, Ellis's anger did not decrease at all, because Professor X's act of invading Jiang Feng's brain crossed the line!

Even if you don't have to go to the point of dying, you have to make him pay a heavy price!

"At war?" After Wolverine listened to Ellis's words, and saw his expression of being about to flip the table at any time, he said helplessly: "The professor also knows that what he did was a little inappropriate. So in order to apologize, in addition to giving you the specific location of the New York Temple, he promised that he would never use telepathic abilities on people related to you in the future, and was willing not to stop the teachers and students of Xavier's Genius School from volunteering to come to Jiang's pawnshop to pawn. ”

Hearing this, Ellis sneered: "No longer prevent the teachers and students of Xavier School from coming to Jiang's pawnshop to pawn?" The real reason why he did this was that he was worried that if he didn't come to me to pawn to improve his strength, he would be completely suppressed by the mutant brotherhood led by Magneto, right? ”

Hearing this, Wolverine didn't know what to say for a while.

Because Ellis is right, now it's not the Jiang Pawnshop that needs customers, but the X-Men who need to improve their strength to compete with Magneto!

"Logan, go back. For Mary's sake, I won't embarrass you today, but as a punishment for Charles crossing the line, don't even think about taking the 'brainwave enhanced helmet' back! ”

Ellis passed through the Absolute Realm, glanced at the three people who had passed through a large circle of fire and appeared very abruptly on Hotston Street, and gave Wolverine an eviction order: "And I don't need him to give me the specific location of the New York Temple, let alone keep him silent, even if it is preached to the whole world!" ”
