Chapter 46 Dialogue
If there was a list of fools in the world, Alex felt that he would definitely be in the top 10 of the list.
Although it was confirmed that Vanessa Amelia was asleep when she left the house last night, when Alex pushed the door in, the first thing he saw was the little girl sitting asleep on the sofa in the living room!
This little guy must have deceived himself by pretending to be asleep when he went in to check on himself, and then he sat in the living room and waited for himself to come back after he left, until now.
"What a little fool!"
Alex sighed softly, feeling pity for her and secretly blaming herself, she had just escaped from the life of being on the run, and she couldn't fully adapt to the environment here, in such a big empty house, but she was the only one left alone, she must be afraid of loneliness, so she would wait for her here.
Seeing that it was only about five o'clock, Alex stepped forward, carefully picked Vanessa from the couch, and carried her to her bedroom on the second floor.
"No, we can't let her stay at home, we have to let her meet some new friends!"
After leaving Vanessa's bedroom, Alex thought about it, then found the contact number Charles had left for him from his phone, and dialed it directly.
"Toot ~" rang a few times, and a soft voice belonging to a woman came from the phone: "Hey, hello, this is Xavier School, may I ask who you are?" ”
"I'm looking for Charles, please tell Charles, just say Alex is looking for him." Alex said politely.
"~Oh, it's President Charles, please wait a minute." When the other party heard Alex's intention, he immediately said politely, and then transferred the phone to the principal's office.
After a while, Alex's phone came out of Charles's magnetic voice.
"Alex, my dear friend, are you looking for me?"
Alex rolled his eyes here, "Could you please remove the word 'small', Principal Charles?" ”
"Hehehehehe!!"
Charles chuckled lightly, "Well, my friend Alex, what are you looking for me?" If it's for Vanessa Amelia's identification, you'll have to wait a few more days. ”
"What's wrong? Is something wrong? Alex couldn't help but raise his voice slightly.
In today's world of superheroes and supervillains, Vanessa, who has no identification, is very easy to cause unnecessary trouble, and Alex is not nervous.
"Don't be nervous, Alex." Charles spoke in time to comfort, "There is nothing bad happening here. ”
"That ......"
Before Alex could speak, Charles explained to himself: "The federal government has been in a lot of trouble lately, and the federal agents who helped me deal with the mutant problem have also been assigned to other departments. Therefore, the identity documents and placement of mutants have to be left for a while for the time being. But don't worry, after a while, the problem will be solved. ”
"I see." Hearing this, Alex breathed a sigh of relief, but then he couldn't help but ask, "What happened to the federal government, so nervous?" ”
"This time the situation is very troublesome, a male reporter told the police that a giant python was going to attack a young girl, and it was a matter of the safety of the entire universe, so the police quickly intervened."
"Are you sure he's mentally okay?" Alex was surprised.
The police thought so, but on the same day, a zookeeper sued the police that a python had devoured five elephants in one go, and almost even ate him. After investigation, the police found that five elephants had indeed disappeared from the zoo for no reason, and they also found very special scales on a construction site. So, the federal government let agents intervene. Charles explained.
"Shhh
When Alex heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, being able to devour five elephants in one go, how big does this python's body have to be!
He vaguely remembered that the largest python that scientists have verified so far is the "Titan Python" that has long been fossilized, with a body length of 15 meters and a weight of 1.2 tons, which is extremely strong. But this so-called "Titan Python" is completely trivial compared with the giant python described by the breeder, and it can't be on the table at all!
If what the breeder and the male reporter said is true, then it will be difficult for the US government not to panic!
Think about it, a giant python that doesn't know how big it is lives in the United States, and I don't know when it may swallow itself, and no one can bear it!!
After chatting for a while, Charles remembered what was going on and asked, "By the way, Alex, what are you looking for me?" ”
"Look at my head, I almost forgot about business!" Alex couldn't help but pat his head, "I called, I wanted Vanessa to go to school over there, okay?" ”
Charles immediately agreed, "Of course, mutants are welcome to come to school at any time, and I'm glad that Vanessa is here." ”
Hearing Charles's answer, Alex breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll send her over today." ”
"In such a hurry?"
"Don't worry, no!"
Alex sighed, "I don't have many people on my side who really talk to me, if Vanessa continues to follow me often, she won't want to live a normal life for the rest of her life!" ”
"Okay, we'll get ready in advance, you just come to West Chester, New York, and I'll have Jean and Scott pick you up." Charles replied.
Alex thought for a moment, then said, "OK, I'm in Flushing now, I'll be there soon." ”
"Well, I'll be waiting for you at school."
"I'm also looking forward to the school you founded, Charles, and I look forward to seeing you again!"
……
After a few more small talks, Alex hung up the phone, only to find Vanessa waking up at some point and standing in front of the bedroom door looking at herself pitifully.
"Brother Alex, you're going to send me away?"
Vanessa looked at Alex with a sad face, her big watery eyes were full of moisture, as if she could cry the next moment, and even the ponytails drooped lifelessly.
"Of course not."
Alex squatted down, keeping his eyes level with Vanessa's, and said softly, "From the time you entered this house, you were already my relative, how could I send you away?" ”
Vanessa looked at Alex with emotion, but still sobbed suspiciously: "Then didn't you just say that you were going to send me to some West Place?" ”
Alex smiled and scratched Vanessa's upturned little nose, "I'm asking you to go to school there and meet friends, but I'm not trying to give you to someone else, you'll be wrong." ”
"Really?" Vanessa looked at Alex in surprise, and the tears from the corners of her eyes were quickly wiped away by her.
Alex nodded solemnly, "Of course! I'm just sending you there to go to school, to meet some friends of the same age, and we're ready to see each other at any time. ”
"But I can't bear to leave you." Vanessa said reluctantly.
Seeing the heartfelt reluctance and attachment in Vanessa's eyes, Alex, who had been living alone since the crossing, was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help blushing slightly, and began to think seriously about the solution in his heart, and finally, he said solemnly: "...... Well! Well, since you can't bear me, then I'll buy a house near the school so that you can see me every day, how about it? ”
To buy a house in West Chester, even if it is cheaper, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, which shows that Alex has to spend a lot of money to make Vanessa feel at ease. However, as the saying goes, "if it's not your own money, you don't feel distressed", Alex's money was all robbed, and he didn't hesitate to spend it at all.
"Well, Brother Alex is the best!!"
Vanessa, who had no concept of money at all, didn't know this, she just burst into tears and laughed, rushed up and hugged Alex, and her little head was even more happy to burrow into his arms.
Although Alex, who was hugged by Vanessa, was happy, he laughed at himself slightly: "Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars just to make this little guy happy, I began to suspect that I am not Lolita!" ”
