Chapter 24: Aftermath

"It looks like there won't be any business coming to you today!" Ellis muttered to himself as he turned his head to look at the pawn shop's hidden door.

After a few passers-by who flashed past the door through the crack in the door, like a lookout stone, without even glancing at the pawn shop, Ellis put down the coffee in his hand and picked up a long list from the table to look at it.

Jetton, a first-class (E) mutant, has a superpower of invisibility, because the awakening X gene is incomplete, his stealth ability is uncontrollable, and he often hides in front of people for no reason, and is now hiding at 1751 Second Avenue on Long Island......

Li Yang, suspected first-class (E) mutant, has the ability to be the yin and yang eyes of Chinese legends, the defect has not been discovered, and he is studying at Columbia University in New York City (Chinese student......

Anthony, a Level 2 (D) mutant, has the ability to emit bright light in the dark (the darker the sky, the brighter the light emitted), and at the same time, his physical fitness will be enhanced by seven or eight times to ten times according to the brightness of his body.

Except for the dazzling light, no other defects have been found for the time being, and he lives at 55 Oak Street in Brooklyn, New York City......

When Ellis sees the third mutant on the list, he knows that this mutant must be the next customer of the pawn shop!

Compared with Jetton's unstable stealth and the yin and yang eyes of Li Yang, an international student's 'fellow countryman', Ellis believes that Anthony, whose body glows like a light bulb at night, must be more distressed by his broken ability.

Although when his body is glowing, his physical fitness can also skyrocket to seven to ten times, allowing him to try the feeling of a super man, but the ability to shine in the dark night is really nonsense, not only will he not sleep well, but he will not be able to make love with his girlfriend.

Unless his girlfriend was born blind, the average person simply can't stand sleeping at night with an incandescent lamp next to it!

Of course, Ellis wouldn't be stupid enough to go to Anthony at night and instill in him the greatness of Jiang's pawnshop.

After all, his own physical fitness is only E-level, his strength and speed are only five times that of ordinary people, and at night and his physical fitness can skyrocket by seven or eight times, or even ten times more than ten times Anthony's toughness, that is, looking for abuse, and he can't get along with himself.

In order to be more secure, Ellis put away the list and pinned the system's C-class weapon, the Colt revolver, in the holster on the back waist, and then covered it with a long coat.

Just walked out of the pawn shop in the middle of the noon sun, and muttered in his mouth:

"Anthony, an outstanding man like you, no matter where he hides, he is like a 'firefly' in the night, the bright stars, the bright dazzling, your melancholy eyes, and the embarrassed chatter, all deeply attracted me who opened the pawn shop.

I swear, no matter where you hide, I'm going to find you! ”

That's right, the list in Ellis's hand was given to him by Professor X the day before yesterday, and along with this list, he was given a check with a face value of one million dollars.

In order to thank Professor X for his strong support to Jiang's Pawnshop, or to let Professor X think of Jiang's Pawnshop for the first time when he doesn't want to be in a wheelchair one day.

Ellis also generously gave him a black membership card produced by the system, so that this old man could enjoy the VIP treatment of pawning at Jiang's pawnshop once.

Don't think that Ellis is stupid and doesn't want to make a profit point on Professor X, he just fell in love with Professor X's prestige and popularity among mutants, and held the mentality of inviting big-name stars to advertise, so he gritted his teeth and gave this membership card.

At the end of the day, it's just an advertising investment!

As for whether Professor X will come to him for pawning, thus producing the so-called star effect, let the big guy of the system worry about it!

…………

Ellis didn't know that after Professor X returned to Xavier's Genius School with Jean Grey the day before yesterday, his Jiang pawnshop would inevitably spread among the students - although it didn't have a good reputation!

Of course, Professor X and Laser Eye, a few teachers who have lost their old faces in front of the absolute realm, will never say anything about Jiang's pawnshop.

On the one hand, Professor X has issued an injunction to all those in the know, not to mention anything about Jiang's pawnshop in the school.

On the other hand, it is also worried that because of the growing hostility of ordinary people towards mutants, these immature students, after knowing the existence of Jiang's pawnshop, will be irresistibly tempted to fall into the hands of Ellis's mysterious and greedy guy.

It's a pity that I have seen Ellis or Jiang's pawnshop mysterious and powerful, in addition to the teachers who know how to measure and reason, Laser Eye and Storm Girl, there are also two students who are in adolescence and full of rebellious emotions, Iceman Bobby and Burning Man John.

Even with Professor X's ban, the Burning Man still quietly spread the existence of the Jiang Pawn Shop in private.

Everyone knows that the fastest circulating thing in the world is not the flu virus, but the gossip-like gossip, so what Ellis dreamed of, the Fire Man easily did it unintentionally!

Of course, his original intention was not to help promote the omnipotence of Jiang's pawnshop, but to lash out at Ellis's disrespect for Professor X, and by the way, he also fabricated some trumped-up charges that Ellis committed against mutants, hoping to provoke all the mutant students in the school to hate Ellis.

It's best to have a few hot-headed students who go to him for trouble under impulse, and finally fall into his hands, so that the X-Men can be completely forced to the opposite side of Jiang's pawnshop.

Because he didn't believe at all that the powerful Professor X would also be restrained by Ellis at that time, he just stupidly thought that it was Professor X's good old man mentality that had an attack, and he was unwilling to activate his telepathic ability and destroy Ellis, a powerful new mutant, so he pretended to admit defeat!

And in the eyes of Jean Grey and even Professor X, Poppy, the Iceman, who has always been sensible and reasonable, did not let them worry.

Uh......, to be precise, it should be Bobby, the iceman transformed into a demon girl, who stabbed them in a big way!

After the X-Men put Ellis and his pawn shop aside for a while, they began to stir up trouble for Councilor Kelly, and went all out to prepare for Magneto, who could come out and do something at any time.

Even Professor X spends time in the basement, using a brainwave intensifier to monitor the members of the Mutant Brotherhood in New York at all times, and wondering why Magneto sent someone to Canada to deal with Wolverine.

Bobbi the Iceman (Magic) has a surprising conversation with the mischievous little who almost killed Wolverine last night on a bench in the school playground.

Sitting alone on a bench, Naughty is feeling guilty that she almost killed Wolverine, and because of her ability, the students in the school are inevitably terrified, and everyone is reluctant and afraid to approach her for a while.

For Bobby, the most popular male classmate in the school, he will take the initiative to talk to her, and she will be really moved. Poppy's behavior is like handing her a life-saving swimming ring when she is drowning.

It's a pity that she guessed the beginning correctly, but guessed the ending wrong!

Because this swimming ring is solid, and the material of the production is iron......

"They say, you steal someone's superpower?"

"No, it's just borrowing, not stealing!"

"You shouldn't use your superpowers against your peers."

"You see, I had to ...... at that time."

"If I were you, I'd get out of here."

"What do you mean?"

"All the students are terrified, ...... with Professor X's irritable temper, so you'd better get out of here!"
