[Congratulations, Host: Acquired Omega-Level Mutant Power — Flame Emperor.]
[P.S. You do not merely manipulate fire. You create it.]
[Congratulations, Host: Acquired "X-Gene Training Method."]
[P.S. A Mutant who can train and grow stronger… scared yet?]
Holy crap!
Lynn nearly laughed out loud in disbelief.
He had used his points on two consecutive draws—
And both were absolute jackpots.
An Omega-level Mutant power.
There was no need to explain what that meant.
Limitless growth. Endless possibilities.
As for the X-Gene Training Method, it looked plain and unassuming—
But in reality, it was priceless.
Normally, once a Mutant awakened, their talent and X-gene ceiling were fixed.
The amount of X-gene determined everything.
For example—
A Class-Two Mutant, no matter how hard they trained, could never surpass Magneto.
That was the cruelty of birth.
Harsh.
But real.
The X-Gene Training Method shattered that wall completely.
That alone was enough to drive countless Mutants insane.
Even more terrifying—
The X-gene enhanced the body itself.
That was why Mutants were naturally stronger and tougher than ordinary humans.
If this method were ever exposed to the world—
It would plunge the entire planet into chaos.
Magneto would be the first to hunt him down.
Then there was the X-Mansion.
Based on Lynn's estimation—
Every Country would do anything to seize it.
This was truly a god-tier reward.
"I can teach this to Wanda and Pietro."
Lynn's mood soared.
He'd been worrying about how to strengthen Wanda recently.
With this method, her physical fitness would improve drastically.
This squishy mage—
Would no longer have to fear assassinations or sneak attacks.
As for Pietro…
With proper training, he wouldn't end up getting riddled with bullets like in Avengers 2.
"Lynn, did you think of something happy?"
Mei's gentle voice pulled him back to reality.
"Yes." Lynn nodded casually.
"Hurry and eat. After that, I'll take you home."
Mei froze.
Her cheeks flushed instantly.
Her breathing unconsciously quickened.
Take me home… together…
Just the two of them in a room.
Her heart began pounding wildly.
Her shapely legs rubbed together without her even realizing it.
Less than fifteen minutes later, they finished eating.
When Mei glanced at the bill, she couldn't help but gasp.
Several hundred U.S. dollars.
Even if she emptied her pockets, she wouldn't have enough.
"The order's already covered," the cashier said with a bright smile, admiration clear in her eyes.
"Hehe, it's fine." Lynn chuckled.
"It's on the public tab anyway—just add it there."
Only then did the cashier put the money away.
Edward hurried over.
"Master, are you coming back for dinner tonight? I bought two king crabs this morning."
"No." Lynn refused without hesitation.
Right now, all he wanted was to go home—
And properly research his newly acquired Mutant power and the X-Gene Training Method.
Lynn and Mei soon arrived downstairs at his apartment.
As Lynn unlocked the door, Mei's breathing grew faster and faster.
Her heart was pounding violently.
Her tongue peeked out, lightly licking her red lips.
Her mind was filled with wild fantasies of what might happen next.
Just thinking about it made her legs weak.
"Lynn, you're back!"
Wanda was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
The moment she saw him, she jumped up and ran over excitedly.
She was about to hug him—
Then her gaze landed on Mei.
She froze.
"…Who is this?"
Lynn briefly explained the situation.
"So that's how it is!"
Wanda immediately understood.
The way she looked at Lynn grew even brighter.
This man was truly too kind.
At the same time, she felt sympathy for Mei.
In a way, they were the same—
Both crushed and tormented by this society.
"It's cold outside. Come in quickly," Wanda said warmly.
"I'll make you some coffee."
Cold.
It was truly cold.
Mei felt as if her heart had been plunged into ice.
Her already damp underwear suddenly felt absurd.
Looking at Wanda—
So natural.
So composed.
Like the lady of the house.
Mei's face turned pale.
Her mind went blank.
She didn't even remember when she stepped inside.
To be honest—
For a fleeting moment, she wanted to turn around and run away.
Before long, Peter Parker and Pietro returned as well.
Both were carrying large shopping bags.
They seemed to be getting along surprisingly well.
"Hey, Aunt Mei, you don't know—Mr. Lynn is really too kind!"
"Pietro said he almost starved to death back then…"
Peter's chatterbox mode activated immediately.
Words poured out like beans from a sack.
The more Mei listened, the brighter her eyes became.
So…
She still had a chance.
She no longer dared to hope to be Lynn's girlfriend.
As long as she could roll around in bed with him—
Even a few moments of happiness would be enough.
