Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 59 Conversation and Choice

Why bother talking to this slovenly man?

Little Mischief looked down at the saber-toothed tiger at Bai Ye's feet. How could this person still be alive despite being so badly injured?

The little rascal nodded obediently, asked no further questions, and walked out of the alley to wait at the entrance.

After the little rascal had gone far away, Bai Ye released his foot from the saber-toothed tiger's head, allowing its head to be lifted out of the ground again.

"Kid, do you know who you've messed with?" Sabretooth got up from the ground, his shattered bones and other wounds long since healed. "We're from the Brotherhood of Mutants."

"I know, you're the ones I'm looking for."

Faced with Sabretooth's self-deprecating behavior, which resembled that of a street thug, Bai Ye rolled his eyes: "I asked you to pass a message to Magneto. I know he's researching a machine that can transform humans into mutants."

"However, the machine he built has major flaws. Let's not rush into testing it. I'd like to have a good talk with him three days from now."

Seeing the saber-toothed tiger's wide, incredulous eyes, Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you have a problem right now? If not, then you'd better get lost."

"How did you know about our plan?" Sabretooth asked.

Only a few people, including Magneto, knew about his own plans. How did this guy find out?

"You don't need to worry about that. Just obediently pass on my message to him." After Bai Ye finished speaking, he turned around, ignoring the saber-toothed tiger behind him, and slowly walked out of the alley.

Behind him, Saber-toothed Tiger, whose mission had failed, hesitated before preparing to report the outcome to Magneto.

Outside the alley, Little Rascal watched the endless stream of people on the street, her heart pounding and her mind filled with all sorts of thoughts.

"Who is that disheveled man, and why did he kidnap me...? And why did Bai Ye know I was here and want to find me too...? And regarding his healing ability on my hand, is Bai Ye also a mutant?"

A flurry of thoughts rushed through her mind, making the girl feel somewhat flustered. She felt as if she had been caught in the vortex of some conspiracy, but when she recalled the continuous power that Bai Ye had transmitted when she shook hands with him, her fluctuating emotions calmed down again.

"If I were with Bai Ye, there would be absolutely no problem." Little Mischief thought to himself as he stroked his healed hand.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." At that moment, a calm voice came from behind the girl.

Bai Ye took out a mask and put it on. He walked out of the alley and looked at the girl, saying, "You must have a lot of questions right now. Don't worry, I remember there's a Burger King nearby. Let's talk as we walk."

"Mm." The girl nodded heavily and followed Bai Ye toward the fast food restaurant.

A few minutes later, the little rascal looked at the pile of food in front of him and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"You eat, it's not convenient for me to show my face in public." Bai Ye tugged at his mask and said, "I'll take this opportunity to tell you about the current situation."

"First of all, there's your ability, which is the superpowerful ability to absorb other people's power, life force, and even mutant abilities through physical contact, and it has a lot of room for improvement."

"That's why that mutant wanted to hunt you down; your abilities are extremely tempting to them," Bai Ye said slowly.

He didn't want to reveal Magneto's true purpose for the time being, since it might cause trouble if the X-Men found out.

"As for me, the reason I found you by chance is that I was entrusted by another mutant to escort you to a school where all the students and teachers are mutants."

"A mutant school? Are there places like that?" Little Rascal stopped eating and stared wide-eyed.

"Of course, after all, you know how society treats mutants these days. In normal schools, it's not good for either mutants or humans."

"So are you a mutant too?" Little Rascal asked, looking at White Night.

She has always been quite insecure about her mutant identity; ever since she awakened this ability, nothing good has ever happened to her.

"Not at the moment, you can only be considered a superhuman. However, everyone has mutant genes in their body, and it's not impossible for them to awaken their genes and become a mutant in the future," Bai Ye said meaningfully.

Upon hearing that Bai Ye wasn't a mutant, Little Rascal's head immediately sank, and he continued to silently chew his food.

"Now you have two choices. The first is to stay at my house for the night, and then I'll take you to the mutant academy tomorrow morning."

"As for the second one, you can choose not to go to that mutant academy. I won't stop you from going home or wandering the streets afterward," Bai Ye said slowly.

At this moment, faced with Bai Ye's choice, Xiao Taoqi pondered for a long time before slowly raising his head and asking, "May I follow you?"

"Follow me..." Bai Ye fell into deep thought.

Bai Ye didn't really have any intention of subduing the girl in front of him who had the ability to absorb things. After all, apart from the pain that came when he touched her, which was comparable to the feeling of being electrocuted, she had no effect on his training.

Bai Ye's first talent is that there are no bottlenecks, and she can become stronger indefinitely.

In other words, the training effect of 100 tons is 10 times that of 10 tons, and there is no situation where the more you train, the slower the improvement speed becomes.

If that's the case, why make the girl absorb his power, and then reduce the power to 10 tons before subjecting her to 10 tons of weight training? Isn't that counterproductive?

If the girl's absorption ability can only absorb physical energy and has no effect on strength, then it will be quite useful to him, since the training effect is doubled when physical strength is at its limit.

However, the girl herself couldn't control her abilities. Whether it was strength, stamina, or superpowers, she could absorb them with a single touch, which made them useless to her. Apart from being pretty and a decorative vase, they were of no use at all.

However, he is not short of money now, and supporting a mutant is a piece of cake. What if he needs her in the future?

So when faced with Xiao Taoqi's request, Bai Ye hesitated for a moment before quickly smiling and saying, "Of course, no problem. But to prevent you from regretting it later, I'll take you to the mutant academy first, and then we'll make a decision."

"No... I won't regret it." The little rascal shook his head vigorously, then realized that his intentions were a bit too obvious, blushed and buried his head in his food.

After a peaceful and uneventful night, early the next morning, Bai Ye, following the address left by Charles, took Xiao Taoqi to the Wizel Academy for Gifted Young People.

Looking at the beautiful manor in front of him, even Bai Ye's eyes flashed with curiosity about this mutant academy.
