Councillor Freeman has a quiet estate in Brooklyn, near Ocean Park.

His youngest daughter, Lily, has been living here since she awakened the X gene in her body, and is closely guarded by a security team of veterans.

When time permits, and government affairs are not particularly busy, he will return to the manor to accompany Lily, who is becoming more and more autistic.

It's just that every time Freeman sees his little daughter driving away the maid who took care of her, sitting alone in the house and crying silently, he is particularly distressed.

After half a year, even Freeman himself could no longer get close to Lily, and only when she was asleep could he stand beside her and look at her quietly, as she had done when she was a baby.

Freeman felt that he was a failure, because as a father, he could not help his daughter at all, and could only watch this child, who was only in junior high school, bear all the negative effects caused by the red skin all over his body.

You can't go to school, you can't go out, you can't take off the robe that wraps your whole body, and you can't go to the beach by the sea to play in the water......

"Boss, Samuel has returned and is waiting for you in the study!"

As Freeman watched his daughter fall into deep thought, the manor's maid tiptoed over and whispered in his ear.

"I'll go over now, you take care of Lily!" After taking a deep look at his sleeping daughter, Freeman turned and left Lily's room and went to the study on the top floor.

When Freeman pushed open the door and walked into his quaint study, he saw something unbelievable!

Samuel, who has followed him for more than 20 years and has always been extremely normal, actually held a fireball with his bare hands and threw it between the palms of his hands!

"Samuel...... you...... Also awakened...... X gene? ”

"No, boss, I didn't awaken the X gene, you look at my body, there is no abnormality at all!"

When Samuel heard Freeman's voice, he hurriedly pinched the fireball he threw around with his right hand, and only after the small fireball had completely dissipated did he turn his head to look at Freeman, who was stunned.

"Boss, this is all the power given to me by the person behind Will, he is simply a god!"

After Samuel briefly explained to Freeman, he looked at his boss who was still in a daze, and continued: "Boss, Miss Lily is saved, this time it is really saved, Jiang's pawn shop ......"

…………

Ellis didn't expect Samuel, who had only been away for only three hours, to come back so soon!

It also brought him another potential customer, a teenager with his whole body wrapped in a robe, or a young girl!

Although Samuel brought himself business, Ellis still frowned, because this time there were too many people, all of them muscular and strong men.

It's not that Ellis is afraid of accidents, it's that he doesn't like trouble.

According to the concept of running an inn in his previous life, all the people who entered the door were guests, but there were many guests, and they were all pot-bellied men, which was not a good thing, at least he couldn't make coffee!

Fortunately, Samuel has been Freeman's administrative assistant and chief butler for many years, and he is very good at observing words and feelings, and after finding that Ellis is a little dissatisfied with the bodyguards brought by his boss, he quickly glanced at this strong man and asked them to wait outside the pawn shop.

Then, in a somewhat humble and somewhat platter tone, he introduced to Ellis, who came over with a pot of coffee:

"Mr. Jiang, this is my boss, Mr. Freeman, the New York State Assemblyman, and this is Mr. Freeman's daughter, Miss Lily. We came here this time to ask Mr. Jiang to help solve a little trouble that has been bothering Miss Lily! ”

"Samuel, you still call me Boss Jiang or Ellis, call me Mr. Jiang, it sounds weird!"

Ellis poured coffee for both father and daughter sitting on the couch, and then poured a cup for Samuel, who was standing behind them, and then sat down across from them and savored Samuel's words.

It's kind of interesting, but there is a New York State legislator, no wonder he has to bring a bunch of bodyguards! ’

In fact, Ellis not only found Freeman's arrival interesting, but he also found Samuel quite interesting.

On the one hand, although Samuel has superpowers, his soul value has not increased, and it is still only worth 100 profit points.

Of course, after his soul was pawned, it had already been marked with the Jiang pawnshop, and it would be owned by the pawnshop after his death, so Ellis would pay special attention to whether the value of his soul had changed!

On the other hand, when he obtained superpowers (although only E-level superpowers), he could continue to be Freeman's assistant, and this open-mindedness and loyalty were precious.

At least it's much better than many people who have just acquired superpowers and think how extraordinary they are and how they can turn the sky (such as the protagonist himself!). ）。

Thinking of this, Ellis was a little envious of Freeman, and only hoped that the job posting posted outside the door could also recruit such a loyal assistant for him.

But this is just Ellis's speculation, in fact......

Samuel was not as open-minded and loyal as Ellis thought he was, but he had been with Freeman for a long time and understood one thing, that is, in the absence of absolute power, official power was important.

And before he left Jiang's pawnshop and returned to Freeman's manor, he couldn't hold back his inner eagerness to try, and tried his fire control ability on the way, and found that he was not as perverted as he imagined, so he gradually adjusted his mentality.

"Mr. Jiang, don't be surprised to visit this time!"

What Ellis didn't expect was that Freeman, a man with great power, would learn from Little Japan and bow to himself before the topic began.

"Don't, Mr. Freeman, Samuel should have told you all the rules in my shop, we don't have anyone to help whom, this is just a pawn that you want me to do, you take out a pawn of enough value, I will fulfill your corresponding wishes, it's as simple as that!"

Ellis grew so big, it was the first time someone bowed to him, and after all, his heart had not been tempered as hard as iron by the pawnshop system, for fear that Freeman would take the opportunity to make him unable to refuse the request, so he hurriedly refused.

"Let's talk about what you want to do and what you plan to pawn!" After Freeman sat down again, Ellis quickly cut the topic to the point.

"Mr. Jiang, that's right, my daughter Lily awakened the X gene half a year ago and got the ability to breathe freely in the water, but this awakening has brought a terrible sequelae, that is, the skin of her whole body has turned red."

When Freeman said this, he looked at the little girl sitting next to him lovingly, sighed, and then continued: "I hope that Lily can return to her normal appearance and enjoy the happiness that she should have at her age, instead of hiding at home and washing her face with tears as she is now." ”

"Mr. Jiang, if you can get Lily back to normal and live a normal life, I am willing to give anything, even if it is to pawn my soul to you!"

"Mr. Freeman, I see what you mean."

After listening to Freeman's words, Ellis nodded to him, then turned to look at the little girl who hadn't said a word since she entered the room, "Lily, what do you think?" Do you want to get rid of the X gene in your body completely, or do you want to retain the ability to breathe freely in the water and just turn your skin back to normal? ”

In fact, according to the normal pawn procedure, Ellis does not need to ask Lily for his needs, because he only needs to be responsible for the customer who pawns it, that is, Freeman.

This opening is also because Lily's situation is more troublesome, her superpower is not just as simple as breathing freely in the water, if you only pawn Freeman's soul, this deal, Ellis will not be profitable.

"Can you really cure my red skin?"

After listening to Ellis's questioning, Lily, who had never spoken since entering the store and had not taken off her robe, finally took off her gloves and mask, revealing a red face that was still a little immature.
