The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 605 A Firm Heart
Mysterious Guest stood on a high wall of trees, the gentle evening breeze ruffling her waist-length hair, her golden hair still sparkling even in the moonlight.

The broad soul blade was stuck right beside her. It was obvious that the tree wall, which was as hard as metal, could not withstand the sharp soul blade, but her master had no intention of paying attention to it at this time.

Normally, the mutants arranged by Magneto are in groups of two or three to facilitate their support for each other, but Iliana's situation is somewhat special.

This is not only because of her powerful strength, but also because of her ability of teleportation. With this ability, she has become the most flexible mutant. As long as she wants to escape, few people can catch her.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that, at her request, Magneto allowed her to guard a small area alone with the help of Stark Industries' drones.

The reason Iliana gave was that she would be more flexible on her own, but in fact she just wanted to be alone and quiet. What Yang Le said to her last night, combined with what she saw and heard today, had made her mind very confused.

She was afraid that others would notice something was wrong, so she took the initiative to request to act alone. Fortunately, no one was familiar with her and she did have a lot of things to do, so few people noticed that something was wrong with her.

However, there were not many people, and the fact that nothing was said definitely meant that there were more. In addition to Yang Le, who had been observing the Mystic from the beginning, there were a few other people who noticed that something was wrong with the Mystic, such as the person who was flying towards her now.

Looking at the elf Megan with wings fluttering in the air, Iliana gradually came back to her senses.

"What's wrong, Megan?" Iliana picked up the Soul Blade beside her. "Did something happen to you? Where are my brother and Teacher Qin?"

"They're fine, Iliana. Nothing happened." Megan landed slowly. "The tree wall built by Mr. Habib is very reliable. No one can break it in such a short time."

"Then why did you come to see me?"

"Of course I can see that you're worried, Iliana." Megan glanced at the ground beneath her feet and then sat down. "Can you talk to me?"

"You figured it out?" Iliana looked at the girl sitting in front of her in disbelief.

"Of course." Megan swayed. "Not only me, but Teacher Qin and your brother noticed it too. As for others, maybe they didn't?"

"Even you noticed it, so it seems that everyone probably knows it."

Iliana smiled bitterly and inserted the Soul Blade behind her. Then she followed Megan's example and sat on the ground, leaning on the blade of her giant sword.

"I always feel like I'm unreliable in your heart." Megan frowned slightly. "Teacher Qin's ability, telepathy, makes her more sensitive to the emotional changes of those around her. Piotr is your brother, so he naturally cares about you. And I..."

Meghan buried her head between her knees and said in a muffled voice: "I am your subject. Isn't it normal for a subject to notice the Queen's emotions?"

Iliana laughed. She didn't expect Meghan to still remember what she said casually. She just wanted to comfort Meghan at that time. She was afraid that she would collapse, so she made herself a strong person for her to rely on. The queen just said it in a hurry.

After all, she had just returned from Limbo not long ago, and there were still many habits she hadn't changed.

But seeing Megan's serious look, Iliana didn't feel comfortable correcting her. She just thought of it as playing a game with a child. When Megan grew up, the relationship brought about by this joke would naturally disappear.

"Thank you for coming to care about me, Megan. I'm feeling much better now." Iliana ruffled the little girl's hair. "Now you can go back and report to my ministers. The Queen has regained her spirits."

Megan shook her head and said, "I came here not just for my own idea, but Teacher Qin and your brother both agreed with me coming here. They thought you might need someone to talk to, so they asked me to come here."

"But I'm fine now." Iliana wanted to persuade Megan to go back, but gave up after seeing her stubborn eyes. Maybe she really needed someone to talk to.

Iliana licked her lips and was about to speak when she felt something touching her Soul Blade. She instinctively turned back to draw her sword, but she felt the ground beneath her shift slightly. The once solid tree wall softened slightly, a slight change that was noticeable enough for her to notice. Thinking of Yang Le's abilities, Iliana immediately understood what he was trying to remind her of.

Had he been keeping an eye on her? Reminding her? Reminding her of what? Why now? Why not just show up?

Is it because of Megan? Probably not, it must be someone who makes him afraid.

In just a second, Iliana went from asking the question to getting the answer, and she knew she should shut up or change the subject.

"Maybe it's because of the crying of those children." Iliana said half-truthfully.

"When I look at those children, I am reminded of myself as a child. I was so helpless when I was caught in hell."

What is the difference between here, now and hell?

Megan also showed an expression of empathy and muttered, "Me too. When I think about those children not even having enough food to eat, many people feel that it's cruel. But the principal also arranged for Mr. Habby to send some supplies in."

"For the sake of the future, we have no choice but to endure, and so do they. That's what the principal said."

There is nothing that should be obtained at the expense of children, ever!
The confusion in Iliana's eyes disappeared. Perhaps she should do something. The things in front of her made her sword dull, and leaving hell made her bloodiness disappear.

The evening breeze continued to blow, sweeping away the leaves on the top of the tree wall, stirring Iliana's troubled hair, and also taking away her confusion.

The new green leaves floated farther and farther away, until they disappeared beyond the limit of human vision, and finally fell slowly to the ground.

"clatter."

Magneto looked at the leaves at his feet, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

...

"Is this the one right here, Jimmy?"

"Wasn't this house empty before? You're not taking the wrong path, are you, Jimmy?"

Facing his companions who did not trust him, the young man named Jimmy blushed, but still spoke in a low voice.

"I can guarantee on my honor that someone moved into this house a week ago. I've seen people coming in and out before, but no one has left since the registration."

What Jimmy didn't say was that the reason he remembered it so clearly was because he had seen that the residents of the house were two very beautiful girls.

Seeing that Jimmy was so confident that he didn't seem to be lying, everyone temporarily believed him and then discussed who would go and knock on the door.

After all, there is a bonus for reporting superhumans, but you only get the bonus if it is correct. If you are wrong, the sentinel robot will not use your information next time, so no one dares to mess around even if they have money.
