American comics: May the Holy Light deceive you

Chapter 97 Visiting Relatives and Friends - 1

"Aww, mmm~, steamed buns are still the best."

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

At an ordinary breakfast stall on the street, Xiao Shengxi grabbed a big meat bun and gnawed on it, while Vega, looking helpless, pulled out a few tissues to wipe her mouth.

Little Shengxi: "Dad, can we go back to China to eat every day? Those awful Western foods are just awful."

Vega: "You can get a beating if you want, but don't drag Dad into it."

Little Shengxi: "Dad, are you really the head of the family?!"

Vega: "No, your mother is the head of the household."

That little brat has gone astray! She dared to sow discord between him and his beloved wife. You'll see when you get back.

"Hmph, I don't like you anymore." Little Shengxi got angry, treated the steamed bun as her father, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Vega smiled and didn't take it to heart. The little girl was just saying things in anger, and she would be a good girl again in a moment.

Besides, no daughter is as dear as a wife. A daughter will be tricked away by some scoundrel sooner or later, but a wife is the one who can stay with him forever.

"Old Li, that's not fair of you!" At this moment, Zheng Xian walked over in a flurry of activity.

Little Shengxi: "Hello, Uncle Zheng."

Zheng Xian's expression changed instantly, and he smiled sweetly at Xiao Shengxi, saying, "Okay, okay, Xiaoxi is such a good girl. Are these few buns enough for you? Do you want Uncle to buy you a few more?"

Little Shengxi: "Thank you, Uncle Zheng, I want to eat..."

Little Shengxi rattled off hundreds of dishes in a minute, just like a little machine gun.

Zheng Xian's face froze. Good heavens, this guy is going to eat him out of house and home!

He looked to Vega for help, but Vega ignored him and continued drinking his tofu pudding.

You little punk, still trying to cause me trouble? I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget.

Looking at Xiao Shengxi staring at him expectantly, Zheng Xian forced a smile on his bleeding face, gritting his teeth and saying through gritted teeth, "Uncle will buy it for you."

After saying that, he shakily took out his phone and made a call to his men, instructing them to buy a serving of the best breakfast in the capital and deliver it to the restaurant on the circular spaceship in the sky.

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng, you're so kind, mua." Little Shengxi beamed and jumped up, planting a strawberry on Zheng Xian's face with her greasy little mouth.

Vega chuckled: "Heh, you've gone to so much trouble."

Zheng Xian feigned magnanimity: "It's alright. The child has already asked, so as his uncle, I have to do something to show my appreciation."

Vega: "Looks like you really like this girl. Want to keep her for a few days?"

"No, cough cough," Zheng Xian's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "I am very willing, but I am usually too busy with work, and Xiao Xi is too young to leave her parents."

He knew some of Xiao Shengxi's exploits in the mutant world, but he couldn't afford to raise such a little glutton. Let alone a few days, he would have to sell his house, sell his car, and take out a loan in just one day.

Xiao Shengxi knew that her father was joking with Uncle Zheng Xian, so she didn't interrupt. Instead, she sat back down and ate her steamed buns faster.

A few minutes later, urged by Xiao Shengxi, Vega finished the last sip of soup, got up to pay, and then got into the car with Zheng Xian.

The car turned into a secluded alley, and Zheng Xian manipulated it, quickly transforming the car into a stealthy small aircraft, which then flew towards the huge circular spaceship high in the sky.

Two minutes later, the three successfully entered the spaceship. They asked a female staff member to take Xiao Shengxi to the cafeteria, while Zheng Xian took Vega to his office.

As soon as the door closed, Zheng Xian complained again, "Old Li, that's not fair of you."

"How am I being unfair?" Vega walked to the bookshelf, bent down to open a cabinet underneath, and reached in to take out three boxes of tea from the back.

Jung Hyun immediately panicked: "Hey, hey, put it down!"

"I'm going to see some friends later, and I need some gifts," Vega explained, before three boxes of tea disappeared with a flick of his wrist.

"You can buy any kind of tea, why are you taking mine?!" Zheng Xian's heart was truly bleeding this time. These were his three best boxes of tea, and that beast Vega actually wanted to take them all!

"Buying doesn't cost money," Vega said matter-of-factly. As he spoke, he picked out another box of tea, but this time he didn't put it away; he intended to drink it.

"You're such a bandit!" Zheng Xian knew he couldn't get the tea back, so he snatched the tea from Vega's hand and walked towards the reception area.

The two sat down, and Zheng Xian started boiling water. Vega lit a cigarette and asked again, "How was I being unfair?"

Jung Hyun replied irritably, "What do you think?"

Vega: "How should I know? Tell me or I'm leaving."

Jung Hyun: "Xiao Xi is still here, where can you go?"

Vega: "She won't be in any danger here, and I can't afford to take care of her anyway, so you can take care of her for a few days."

Zheng Xian: "Come on, who can afford to feed a little glutton?"

Vega: "She's not just a eater, she can help you with chores too."

Jung Hyun: "Using child labor is illegal."

After a few lighthearted banter, the water boiled, Zheng Xian brewed the tea, and then got down to business: "That bastard surnamed Zhang bragged to me that you helped them gather hundreds of thousands of superhumans and even made them divine artifacts for free. Is that true?"

Vega: "It wasn't creation, it was modification. Those superhumans have nothing to do with me; I just helped deliver a message."

The mutants' plan to establish a nation ultimately failed. Professor X and Magneto sent the remaining mutants to the East, while they themselves remained in the United States, hiding and continuing to help the remaining and newly formed mutants.

There are many reasons why they failed, but there are only two main ones.

One reason is that the X-Men under Professor X's leadership are too soft-hearted. They can never bring themselves to kill ordinary soldiers who oppose them, and they always target the mutants who cause trouble within their ranks.

The founding of a nation is not a dinner party; it requires bloodshed and sacrifice.

This blood isn't just their own, it's also the blood of their enemies. With the X-Men being so soft-hearted and strict with themselves, it's no wonder they failed.

Another reason is that the mutants cannot build a sound management system; they have always been a disorganized bunch, and their strength cannot be concentrated at all.

It's not that mutants lack talent in administration and military strategy, but they believe in the supremacy of strength. No matter how talented you are, if you're weak, no one will listen to you.

Zheng Xian didn't care about any of that: "We've known each other for so many years, and I've been helping you secretly all along."

Could you also forge one of those national treasures for us? We don't expect it to be free; we're willing to pay for it.

Zhang Ruixuan, that bastard, always shows off every time he comes here, which infuriates the leaders. Just now, they detected that Vega was here, and the leaders gave him a strict order: they must ask Vega to make them a national treasure as well.
