Chapter 8: Chapter 8: The opposite effect

????A round of applause for the new patron:

•Joe Thigpen

"Dependents...? More dignity?"

Jean was surprised by what Arthur just said.

Under Arthur's explanation, Jean also understood what he meant and immediately replied: "Mr. Morgan, please don't say that about Professor Xavier."

"He is a great man who dedicates his life to the future of Mutants."

"And I don't deny that."

Arthur raised his glass and took a sip.

To some extent, Professor X is indeed a respectable person, but the way he does things is not flattering.

"I also think he is worthy of respect, but that doesn't stop me from thinking that he is very dependent and has little dignity."

Arthur said so.

"You..."

Jean stood up a little irritated. Professor X is the person she respects the most. If someone else had said that about Professor X on other occasions, they would have already done something.

But this time, for some unknown reason, Jean did nothing.

Maybe it was the special feeling Arthur gave him, or something else.

In short, there seemed to be a voice deep in her heart telling Jean not to do anything.

When Jean stood up with anger on her face and immediately attracted most people's attention.

Everyone unconsciously took half a step back.

Everyone was afraid she would get angry.

"Look, Mr. Morgan seems to have pissed off that Mutant."

"Should we call the police?"

"But she's a mutant, is there any use for the police to come?"

Someone had already picked up the phone, ready to call the police.

Hearing the whispers of the people around, Jean gradually felt a bit of anger rising in her heart.

She can't even be angry anymore just because she's a Mutant?

At that moment, Jean felt someone grab her hand, the warmth of the hand that was touching her somehow calmed her.

The anger she felt also gradually subsided.

Jean looked at the owner of the hand: "Mr. Morgan, I'm sorry for my outburst just now."

"It's okay, sit down first."

"Calm down, most people here have some kind of Mutantptsd, they are afraid that you will get angry and do something."

In the crowd, Pepper also felt that the party atmosphere was getting a little off.

She immediately walked onto the stage, and tapped the microphone to get everyone's attention, "Ladies and gentlemen, please give me your attention."

After speaking, Arthur opened the balcony door and came back.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Morgan."

"You did not answer me..."

Just when Jean wanted to run and continue asking Arthur, a voice came from the back of her mind.

This caused her footsteps to stop abruptly.

(Jean, did something happen at the party?)

(I feel like your mood has fluctuated, are you okay?)

(I'm fine, teacher)

Jean also used her telepathic powers to answer Professor X's question, and when she looked at the people at the party, Arthur had already disappeared.

(It's okay, you can go back first.)

(Today's goal was just to show our presence. As long as the effect is achieved, everything is fine. At least let them know that we are different from Magneto.)

If it were before, Jean would follow everything Professor X said.

But this time there was silence.

(Just show our presence?)

These people just wanted to stay away from her, as if they had met the plague god.

It was the opposite effect of what Professor X wanted.

Was it really like Arthur said?

(Jean, what happened?)

Jean didn't respond to Professor X's words, it made him a little nervous.

After all, there is still a powerful force hidden in Jean's body, if it gets loose, it could end up destroying the world.

(I'm fine, professor.)

(I drank a lot of wine just now and I'm a little dizzy.)

When Professor X, who was at the Xavier Institute, heard this sentence, his face suddenly showed an expression of joy.

If anyone was willing to drink with Jean, it seems to have worked out well tonight.

(So how are you feeling now?)

(It's okay, I'm ready to go back.)

(Okay, I'm waiting for good news at the institute)

Jean looked at the people inside and didn't choose to go out the door, but jumped off the balcony.

At the same time.

Gwen had her feet up on the ceiling, perplexed by what she was doing.

"Oh my God!"
