On the third day after Magneto and Professor X left the pawn shop, Ellis and Naughty sat face-to-face on the couch in the lounge area on the first floor after breakfast.

"Mary, you're familiar with the workflow in the store, right?" Ellis asked about the little mischievous guy who was holding a notebook and reciting words.

"Hmm." The little mischievous closed the notebook, turned his gaze to Ellis, nodded at him, and then took a deep breath:

"Boss, just ask, I'm ready!"

Seeing the little naughty look of hesitation in the face of the teacher's random exam, Ellis also said with a solemn face: "When I am not in the store, if someone comes to pawn items such as gold and silver jewelry or antiques, what should you do?" ”

"Call the boss!"

"What do you do if someone wants to pawn a special one like a soul, lifespan, or skill?" Ellis continued to ask with a blank face.

"Or call the boss you!"

"What if someone comes to the pawnshop while I'm not there?" Before the mischievous voice fell, Ellis quickly threw out the question again.

"Directly scold him, if I am not an opponent, I will immediately call the boss to inform you!"

"Very well, Mary, you now have a clear position in the pawn shop, and from today onwards, you will be in charge of the shop while I am away!" Ellis nodded in satisfaction and appreciatively.

can't blame the little naughty business for being unprofessional, it's not that Ellis doesn't teach her, and it's not that she doesn't study seriously, but the professional knowledge that needs to be learned in the pawn industry is too much and too miscellaneous, and it is impossible to get it done quickly, let alone let the little naughty this pure newcomer get started in just two days.

If it weren't for Ellis, who had received all the memories of his physical predecessor and gained a few years of experience in running a pawn shop out of thin air, he would have to be blind in the face of the customers who came to pawn!

As for those special guests who come to pawn their souls, lifespans, and skills, there is no way to do it if they don't have the authorization of the pawnshop system!

Therefore, 'calling the boss' is also purely helpless!

All she can do now is make coffee for Ellis, and when he goes out, she can take care of the store so that it doesn't get set on fire.

She didn't do much, but wasn't that exactly what Ellis needed?

"Boss, don't worry, I'll take care of the pawn shop when you go out!"

After the little mischievous put away the notebook, she stretched out her hands, which were not wearing gloves, white and tender: "Besides, I'm a mutant, and I have superpowers!" ”

In fact, both of them understand that as soon as Ellis leaves the pawn shop, the naughty superpowers will get out of control and must wear leather gloves, and she has not fully accepted this ability that has brought her countless nightmares in her heart.

So after thinking about it, Ellis chose a PPK automatic pistol with relatively small recoil from the pile of weapons left by Andre's gang some time ago and gave it to her.

Although this pistol, developed by Germany before World War II, has an effective range of only 50 meters and a magazine capacity of only 7 rounds, its power should not be underestimated.

It has often appeared in various blockbuster movies in previous lives, such as in 007, where it has always been synonymous with secret agent James Bond.

"Mary, take this gun, and don't use your superpowers until you have to!"

After Naughty took the PPK pistol, Ellis slipped his Colt revolver into the holster under his jacket and took a few specially printed business cards on the table.

After glancing at the rising sun that had just risen through the open door of the pawn shop, he said to the little naughty who was taking off the pistol magazine and studying: "I'm going to go out, and the pawn shop will be handed over to you for the time being." ”

"No problem, boss!" The little mischievous put the magazine back into the pistol, and deliberately played a handsome gun flower.

"By the way, boss, what should I do if the mutant brotherhood comes again?"

As soon as Ellis got up to leave, Naughty stopped him, "In the face of Magneto, I may not have a chance to call you!" ”

"Magneto shouldn't have a chance to come to the pawnshop anytime soon, Professor X must be watching his every move now."

Ellis thought about it for a moment before he walked out the door and explained, "Besides, even if he is free from the X-Men's surveillance, he will first check with my old customers Lily and Samuel before he will consider visiting us." ”

He guessed right, since that night Magneto left a check for five million, and a list of the members of the Mutant Brotherhood, some of them in New York.

Then after leaving Jiang's pawn shop with his saber-toothed tiger and toad man, he was stared at by the X-Men present.

Because the little naughty came to the Jiang pawnshop by mistake, Ellis stepped in and saved her, so that Magneto's plan to use the ability of the little naughty to transform all ordinary humans in New York into new mutants and build a mutant world died before it began.

Moreover, Councilor Kelly, who was transformed into a mutant, has not yet found Jean Grey, so Professor X still has not figured out the real purpose of Magneto's coming to New York, and he is still confused.

It is precisely because of this that without the fuse of the little naughty, the mutant brotherhood and the X-Men, the tragic battle that should have broken out at the Statue of Liberty also did not break out, and Magneto did not fall into the hands of William Stryker of the military, and enjoyed the VIP luxury cell specially made for him alone.

Now he's taking the members of the Mutant Brotherhood in New York and is busy battling wits with the X-Men led by Professor X!

Besides, after suffering such a big loss here with Ellis, Magneto will never take any more risks to come in person until he is 100% sure that the pawnshop has the ability to realize all his dreams.

As for the CP of Magneto and Professor X, it is not Ellis's concern to fight because of the mutant registration bill thrown out by Councilor Kelly, and he is not a mutant anyway.

In fact, if the mutant is really registered with the government, it will also be beneficial for him to carry out the special pawn business of the pawn shop.

When the time comes, you can easily get a list of potential customers with more detailed information and a larger number of potential customers.

However, these are relatively distant for Ellis, and the direction of events is not something he can control.

So he is now more concerned about this trip, whether he can successfully find the D(second) mutant whose body will shine at night and double his physical fitness - Anthony!

After walking out of Jiang's pawn shop, Ellis reached out and flagged down a passing taxi, and after reporting Anthony's hiding location to the driver, he headed straight for Brooklyn.

Fortunately, it was past the morning rush hour caused by New York office workers, so it only took Ellis more than half an hour to reach his destination, the corner of Oak Street.

In New York City, and indeed in the United States, there are so many streets called Oak Street that in a very painful survey showed that there are only a few streets named after trees in the United States than streets named after numbers, such as Fifth Avenue and Second Avenue.

And the name Oak Street is among the most famous and wealthy streets named after trees!

In New York City alone, there are no less than ten streets with this name, but fortunately, the addresses on the list are quite detailed, otherwise Ellis would have been confused for the first time to go from Manhattan to Brooklyn!
