Chapter 99: An Unexpected Encounter!

  In the depths of a dark alley, two footsteps echoed, accompanied by two human figures emerging from the darkness.

  It was a man and a woman, the man wore a pair of red-framed glasses, tall and handsome, with his arms crossed and a cool expression on his face. His female companion was a beautiful Western beauty with wavy brown long hair, her glasses were very charming.

  As soon as Lin Xiao saw the two people's appearance, he had already guessed their identities.

  Scott, also known as Radium Eyes, has the ability to emit powerful radiation beams from his eyes. However, he seems to lack control over this power or perhaps it's just that his abilities are not at a high enough level, because he can't comfortably wield it on his own and needs to rely on external tools, like those strange glasses he often wears, which he isn't wearing today.

  And that woman is naturally Scott's current girlfriend, Jean Grey, who has strong telepathic and empathetic abilities. However, she had a mental cage built by Professor X in her mind since childhood, which prevents her abilities from being expressed. She is also a doctor and teacher at the X Academy, although her abilities are not strongly expressed, but because of her own affinity, she is deeply loved by the students.

  Lin Xiao didn't think that he had just arrived in this world and would meet two main characters, it's really too coincidental.

  In fact, Scott and Jean were originally experiencing the beauty of their two-person world while shopping, unfortunately, because of the commotion caused by Jam, ordinary people may not have noticed, but these two mutants did, which attracted them over.

  "Hello, sir. Can you please let him go first?" When Qin and Scott were together, it was usually Qin who took charge of communicating with others. This time was no exception. Seeing Zhan being tightly bound by Lin Xiao, Qin immediately asked Lin Xiao to release him as soon as he opened his mouth.

  "Let go?" Lin Xiao turned his head and looked at Zhan Mu, who was still staring at him with anger in her eyes. He couldn't help but smile and nod, "Since this beautiful lady has spoken up, of course I won't refuse!"

  As soon as the thought moved, the binding force on Zhan Mu's mind dissipated, and the freed Zhan Mu immediately roared and pounced towards Lin Xiao. Looking at his appearance, it was clear that he would not rest until Lin Xiao was beaten to a pulp.

  "Little guy, you're still too tender!" Lin Xiao disdainfully glanced at the Zhanmu pouncing on him, stretched out his hand and gently waved it, and saw that Zhanmu's body was like being hit by a train, suddenly flying backwards.

  Boom!

  James' body crashed directly into the wall behind him, and the massive impact force smashed a hole in the wall. The scene was instantly filled with smoke and dust, while poor James also fainted from the intense impact, his petrified skin rapidly recovering as well.

  "This isn't me trying to make things difficult for him." Lin Xiao turned his head and shrugged at Scott, with a helpless expression.

  "It's nothing." Qín smiled and shook her head, glancing at the hole in the wall and Jianmu lying amidst the pile of bricks, before turning to look at Scott beside her.

  As soon as Scott saw Qin's eyes, he knew what she wanted to say.

  "I see," he said with a nod, and Scott walked over and lifted Jam from the pile of bricks.

  "Shall we change places and talk?" Qín looked at Lín Xiāo invitingly.

  "It's an honor!" Lin Xiao smiled and nodded slightly.

  ……

  Half an hour later, Lin Xiao, Scott and Qin were already seated in a private room of a restaurant, while the fainted Jam was directly thrown onto a sofa on one side.

  "Just say what you want to say." Lin Xiao took a sip of coffee and smiled at the two who seemed to be holding back their words.

  Qin and Scott exchanged a glance, and finally Qin spoke up: "I hope I can take this child away."

  "Look at him!" Lin Xiao pointed to Jam, who was lying on the sofa. Westerners tend to look more mature, and Jam looked like he was around 20 years old, but in reality, he might not even be 17 yet. Qín calling him a kid wasn't an exaggeration at all.

  "He has nothing to do with me, if you want to take him away, just ask him if he's willing to go with you." Lin Xiao knew that Professor X's school had taken in many homeless mutant children, and there were quite a few like Jammes. If these mutant children were allowed to wander around outside, they might learn bad things, like Jammes, who had already learned how to rob people!

  "We thought you knew him." Qín let out a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, we'll take him with us later."

  "Didn't you ask about his own will?" Lin Xiao asked in puzzlement, looking at the two of them.

  "If he doesn't want to stay, we'll send him on his way." Scott said suddenly, who had been quiet all along.

  Lin Xiao looked at him and nodded slightly.

  "I'm actually quite curious, where will you take him?" Lin Xiao Ming asked with feigned ignorance, but he couldn't directly say that he knew about X Academy, or else it would be too suspicious.

  "A school, a special school for Variants, where they'll receive a good education. Scott and I are teachers there." Qin said, holding out her hand, "By the way, I'm Qin Grey, this is Scott."

  "Lin Xiao, you can call me Lin." Lin Xiao shook hands with Qin and Scott. Although Scott was cool, he wasn't unpleasant to be around. At least, if Lin Xiao didn't steal his girlfriend, he was quite friendly.

  Shook hands, exchanged names, and chatted for a while before becoming more familiar with each other.

  It was getting late, Qín glanced at her watch and decided it was time to head back.

  "It's getting late, Scott and I are heading back. Lin, would you like to come with us to visit the school?" Qin could tell that this oriental man named Lin Xiao was also a powerful mutant, judging from how easily he had subdued James earlier. If they could get him on their side, it would be a great thing; even if not, they should at least make friends, and definitely not become enemies.

  Lin Xiao had been waiting for Qin's words. As soon as he heard her invitation, Lin Xiao pretended to hesitate slightly before agreeing.

  "I think Professor X will be very welcoming of your arrival." Qín said with a smile.

  In the previous conversation, Qin briefly introduced the situation of X College. Although Lin Xiao already knew about it, he pretended to have a surprised expression as if he had heard it for the first time. As for Professor X, Qin mentioned him the most, showing her great respect for him.

  "I'm also looking forward to meeting Professor X." Lin Xiao smiled and said politely, while on the other side, Scott had already helped up the still unconscious James, and they had already walked out of the private room.

  "X Academy, I'm here." Lin Xiao thought silently to himself as he gazed out at the night sky.
