CHAPTER 65: Kingpin's Fear

Xavier Institute.

Professor X watched the report on TV with a smile: "It's really interesting that someone attacked Tony Stark."

"If he's willing to hire a Mutant as a bodyguard, I believe that kind of thing will never happen again."

"Am I not right, Logan?"

Logan was also in Professor X's office, scoffing at Professor X's suggestion: "Your idea is a little too naïve, to let Mutante be the bodyguard of these powerful people?

You know, what the Mutant hates the most are those high-ranking humans.

And these people are much more afraid of the Mutant.

"I'm just casually chatting about a possible future development of the Mutants, you still have a great sense of humor, Logan."

Logan was smoking a cigar and didn't bother to pay attention to Professor X.

Suddenly, Professor X was surprised: "Logan, do you think this person is Jean?"

Logan looked at Jean suspended. Although the main character in the image was Tony, there were other people behind him.

One of the male figures had two women, one on the left and one on the right.

The one on the left is indeed Jean.

Logan remarked again that the man next to Jean was the one who had gone out with her that day.

Logan nodded, "Yes, it's Jean."

Now, Professor X couldn't sit still: "Why would Jean stand next to a man and..."

And so intimate?

Logan frowned and looked at Professor X suspiciously, "Didn't you agree to let Jean move out?"

"Isn't it normal for her to live with a man and be intimate with a man?"

Logan has lived for over 200 years, he's seen all sorts of things.

Logan has a clear understanding of the relationship between men and women.

"But, this..."

"I didn't know she had moved to live with a man, I thought her friends were women!"

Professor X was numb.

After raising Jean for so many years, he always considered Jean as a half-daughter of his.

And he agreed to let her leave the house.

Logan remembered this.

Professor X thought Jean's friend was a woman, so he was relieved to let Jean move out.

Logan shrugged, "You were the one who agreed to let Jean go there."

"I..."

Professor X was speechless.

If he had known that the other party was a man, he would not have agreed!

But now it is too late to disagree.

Just because that man somehow managed to suppress the Phoenix force, he is not comparable to that man.

Perhaps he is also a Mutant whose strength is higher than the omega level.

In Professor X's heart, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels bad.

Why didn't he ask more questions!

Suddenly, he gave Logan a hopeful look.

Logan knew immediately what he wanted to do.

He swore he would never go back there.

"Charles, I'm going to talk to Eric right now. I think we should accelerate his plan for the future of the Mutants."

After finishing speaking, Logan quickly ran out of Professor X's office.

Teacher X: "...."

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for Professor X.

Even if he is asleep, you need to slap yourself twice when you wake up.

Then ask yourself three times, "Why didn't I ask clearly!"

-----

Early in the morning...

Arthur relaxed his shoulders and woke up from the bed where the two girls were sleeping soundly.

Seeing this scene, Arthur shook his head and smiled.

It is so naïve that two people simply self-flagellate.

In the end, they both lost, and Arthur still had to give them four senzu beans.

In Gwen's case, she will be able to recover quickly when she wakes up today.

As for Jean, I think she would need to sleep well.

After Arthur washed, he went to the terrace and enjoyed a beautiful sunbath while having breakfast.

How can this kind of life not be comfortable?

A short time later, Gwen also woke up, looking at Jean next to her, she remembered what happened the night before.

She can't help but complain in her heart about how good Arthur is at this, she and Jean were defeated by him.

Gwen became more and more irritated.

Jean was still fast asleep, which showed how tired she was from being tormented by Arthur the night before.

If Gwen didn't have her powers, she might still be asleep now. After waking up, Gwen found Arthur on the roof.

She unceremoniously lay on top of Arthur and grabbed him like an octopus.

"Don't you have to go to school today?"

"You don't have to today, but there's an outdoor concert in the afternoon, and you want to watch it together with me and Jean?"

"Good."

Arthur agreed.

Upon hearing that Arthur promised so simply, Gwen nestled in Arthur's arms like a child.

The projection of the Red Queen also appeared next to the two at this time, although no sound was emitted.

But there was a touch of envy in his eyes.

It only shone for a moment, then disappeared without a trace and was not noticed by the others.

After Gwen and Arthur had grown tired of clinging to each other for a while, she got up, washed, put on her costume, and went to school.

"Next time, I'll ask Gwen to wear this costume once..."

Arthur thought so.

"That way of wearing your costume is still very problematic."

"Red Queen, I remember Skynet's data on the liquid metal, right?"

The projection of the red queen appeared again and replied, [Yes, master, now I have the liquid metal data of the T-1000]

The Terminator T-1000 is made of liquid metal, and its body can be transformed into various forms and weapons at will.

Even if it is melted at a high temperature, it can still return to its original shape after cooling.

If you use this technique to make a costume for Gwen, she will no longer have to worry about having to waste time getting dressed.

"Can liquid metal be used to create a new costume for Gwen?"

The data in the red queen's pupils flashed, as if calculating the possibility of completion of this plan.

[Yes, master.]

[And if you use a special metal, the suit's power will also be greatly increased.]

[We can even add a special ability to absorb kinetic energy to the battle suit.]

Absorb kinetic energy?

Arthur's eyes moved.

There is only one metal like this in the Marvel universe.

"Are you referring to vibranium?"

The Red Queen nodded: [Yes, I found this special metal after researching data all over the world, this metal...]

[However, this metal is very rare and can only be purchased on the black market.]

[He's also very expensive.]

"Money is not a problem."

Arthur smiled, he was not at all ambiguous about spending money on his own people.

And if he ends up not getting the vibranium, he can meet Tony at any time.

As for the black market...

Just following is no problem.

He still remembered a certain bald man, is there anyone who understands the black market better than him?

-------

In New York City, somewhere in an office building.

Kingpin was standing in front of floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking all of New York City.

He's just the emperor of the underworld of New York City, but on the surface he's pretended to be a philanthropist because of his status in the underworld.

He doesn't stand a chance in true high-level society.

For example, he wasn't among the people invited to that party of Tony's not long ago.

Because none of the above people are willing to keep him.

After watching for a long time, Kingpin sighed.

On his level, it's easy to cleanse himself, but it's hard to really integrate into the circle of the rich.

"I heard that some time ago, several of our subordinates disappeared. Did you find out what happened?"

Kingpin looked at the secretary next to her, with a beautiful figure.

"Yes."

"This man must have done it."

The secretary took a picture and made Kingpin frown, "What's that?"

"They say it was a mutant lizard, it appeared some time ago almost destroyed the whole city, but it was stopped by Spider-Woman.

"Spider-Woman?"

"Another nasty superhero."

"It's no longer enough to have Daredevil on my tail."

"Now we have it!"

Recently, Kingpin also received complaints from her subordinates about this Spider-Woman, they wanted Kingpin to do something with her.

Kingpin tried and couldn't find any information about the other party.

Just like with Daredevil.

But since his subordinates were killed by this mutant thing, there was nothing he could do.

Anyway, they are some unlucky members.

Never mind.

"Suffice it to say they were killed by Mutants, don't worry about them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in the secretary's arms rang.

Hearing the ringing of the cell phone, Kingpin frowned, it was his personal cell phone.

Few people know this number.

They were all his confidants, and Kingpin had told them not to make that call for unimportant matters.

The secretary picked it up and took a look: "Boss, it's an unknown number."

Unknown number?

This is even more wrong, all my numbers are stored.

"You answer, listen to who you are."

"If it's a wrong number, hang up and check the other person's information to see if it's really a wrong number."

Kingpin's number is extremely secret.

Even if someone makes a mistake, they have to take it seriously.

The secretary answered and said a hesitant hello first.

Then, a very familiar male voice came from the other end of the line: "Kingpin is it?"

The secretary swore that she had never heard such a sympathetic voice after following a group of bad men all day.

Hearing this voice put her in a good mood.

But when Kingpin heard this voice, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Unwanted memories flooded his mind again.

It's that man!

That monster!

Arthur Morgan

Just as the secretary was about to ask something, Kingpin pushed her and picked up the phone. Then she saw an unbelievable scene.

Your own boss.

Kingpin was adopting an almost subservient posture at this point, waving and bowing even on his cell phone.

"Mr. Morgan, may I ask what you want from me?"

"I'll cut to the chase, you know the black market."

"I need a batch of Vibranium. Can you help me get it?"

Vibranium?

Kingpin has heard of this metal.

Even on the black market, it is something that cannot be easily found.

This is definitely for the beholder.

For Kingpin, there is nothing that cannot be bought, it just takes some time.

"OK, no problem."

"Mr. Morgan, when do you need this batch of Vibranium, and where should I send it?"

Arthur's attitude toward Kingpin is nonchalant: "You help me find him first, and I'll transfer the money to you when the time comes."

"When you find it, just use your cell phone to dial this number directly to find me."

"That's fine, but you don't have to give the money."

How would Kingpin dare to take money from this plague god? If he makes the other part unhappy, the life he didn't enjoy will end immediately.

Arthur didn't bother to talk nonsense to him, so he hung up the phone immediately.

Kingpin didn't dare be annoyed when the phone was turned off on its own initiative. Instead, he regained his aura as a mob boss and looked at the secretary next to him.

"What have you seen now?"

The secretary's face immediately filled with fear, and she prostrated herself on the floor, "Boss, I didn't see anything."

"I didn't hear anything."

"Well, you can leave."

"Thank you, boss."

The secretary ran out recklessly, when suddenly she heard a shot behind her.

When she noticed, her white jumpsuit was already dyed red, and finally she passed away under bewildered and incomprehensible eyes.

The sound of gunfire immediately attracted a group of bodyguards.

Pushing the door, they saw that Kingpin was fine, only the secretary fell to the floor.

Kingpin wouldn't allow that appearance of his to be noticed by anyone else but Arthur.

Not even if they are their own confidants!

After the scene was cleared, Kingpin dialed a number on his personal phone.

A hoarse voice sounded from the other end of the line.

"Kingpin, it's very rare for you to call me."

"Do you want to buy guns with me?"

Kingpin's face darkened, "Stop talking nonsense, how much Vibranium do you have?"

The salesman wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Kingpin wanted Vibranium.

Why would a mafia boss like him use that?

The first thing that came to my mind was that Kingpin wanted to do something, and he really wanted Vibranium because he wanted to do something big.

"Do you want to get in touch with someone important? Do you want me to help you?"

This shade obviously wanted to share a piece of the pie.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you have it? If there is, I want everything."

"For sure, I think I'm the only one who can find this thing in the whole world."

"Apart from me, you won't find anyone else to buy from."

The man was extremely confident.

It is as if the Vibranium was made by him.

This kind of self-confidence made Kingpin feel disgusted, because he was like that before, until he was beaten by Arthur.

But Kingpin also knew that what he said was right, the source of the metal Vibranium was very mysterious.

He is in fact the only salesman in the world.

Where he came from, only he himself knows.

"If there is no problem with the delivery, we will send the money directly to you."

A smile crept across the face of the man on the other end of the line: "No problem, Kingpin."

"We've cooperated so many times, I definitely trust you, but you still don't want to tell me why you bought so much Vibranium?"

Kingpin's face turned black.

(You know what? I want to know more than you do.)

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, bring this to me as soon as possible."

"The sooner the better."

"No problem."

Kingpin only hung up the phone when he heard the other party's assurance.

When the telephone was turned off, the door to the room was opened and a desk, even more beautiful than before, entered.

"Boss, I'll be your new secretary from now on."

When he said that, there was obviously a touch of seduction in his voice.

She had seen the secretary who died now, so she was a little scared now.

Kingpin didn't look at her and put the phone away directly.

"Remember, be smart in the future.

"When you know you shouldn't hear something, you should leave quickly."

"Yes, boss..."

Could someone do a good deed by throwing a few stones for this poor soul? 🥹🥹
