Multiverse of Marvel - Chapter 504: Redemption
Chapter 504: Redemption
Xu’s home.
John was sitting with Goku still in his arms and feeding a bottle of milk which he had brought out from his vault. The family of 4 sat on the opposite looking at John. Ying Li couldn’t hold it any more and finally invited John to their home.
Of course Xu said no at the beginning as he didn’t trust him but the enthusiasm of Shang and his wife overwhelmed and so he finally accepted this and invited him in.
John took the tea pot and sipped the tea that Ying Li just served. Xu looked at John as he was a little surprised by this casual behavior of John. Though he didn’t know what kind of power John had but few minutes ago it was him who attacked John.
And now he was acting like it never happened. If anyone had done the same thing to him he would have crushed his hands for this blasphemy.
“Aren’t you worried that we might have poisoned the tea.” Xu said.
“Husband, what are you saying.. He is our guest.. You should apologize.. Ying Li said in an anxious tone as she thought his words might have insulted John.
“After so many years you are still so defensive Xu. Relax a bit. Not everybody is after you and your family. I don’t think you will go down so low as to poison your enemies. Especially someone who just has a child in his arms.” John said.
Xu got startled a bit, because it seemed like John here knew of his identity. Just that he knew that he had been living for so many years and he mentioned it casually meant he knew all along.
“Why are you here? To take me away and lock me?” Xu asked.
“Lock you? Why? Do I look like I am here to imprison you?” John was surprised by this absurd question. He was here for Goku but it seemed like Xu wasn’t going to let go of his paranoia.
“Please forgive my father’s rude behavior, he is a very old man and he still needs to learn the modern day ethics. From your words you seem to know of us and even our names but we really don’t know anything about you.” Shang said.
“With that being said can you give me your autograph and a selfie later?” Shang continued.
“Eh! Autograph.. Hahahah.. For the first time someone had asked me this. Sure after the end of the conversation I can give you one. Now can we talk about the baby here?” John said.
“What about him? It is apparent that you have powers and since the baby here is special you can take him to the Ring or whatever that is called and raise him. Our family will have nothing to do with this.”
“Uhh..” Ying Li wanted to say something but was stopped by Xu. He really didn’t want anything to do with this Saiyan child and wanted him away. His instincts told him that the child specifically landed near his home and John had some ulterior motives.
“That won’t do Mr. Wenwu. I am here to give this child for you to adopt. You have no other choice.” John said as he finished drinking his tea. He had to admit Chinese people had a different kind of talent for tea making. All the 3’s eyes shined when John said that.
They had already guessed from the previous words of John that he wanted them to adopt this Saiyan child. Though they weren’t sure why John wanted them to adopt, the whole idea of having a Saiyan sibling was a whole new matter.
“No. According to the story you created he is an alien and violent character. I admit I have tried conquering the world, but I don’t want to be the reason for the destruction of humanity here.” Xu said.
“I can understand but Goku here isn’t the same Goku in the series that I made. He is a Saiyan for sure but a calm one, not the one with the destructive mind. And you will have to adopt him no matter what. It’s your redemption arc. If you don’t, the Avengers will come and imprison you and your precious ten rings won’t be able to stop any of us. You have committed enough crimes to land you in jail till your death if not death penalty”
The rings in his hand shone when John spoke those words. Those were words of blatant threat. John had sympathy for the family but not for Xu. He was a mad man and was hell bent on conquering the world once, even conquering Ta Lo.
Those kinds of people always needed to be in check and League had done a perfect job in keeping him away.
“Are you threatening me?” Xu asked.
“Threat? Are you even worthy of that?” John said and the next moment various spears started emerging from behind him from his Gate of Babylon.
Shang and Xialing, who had been silent all this time, shuddered when they saw that. They knew what kind of power now John had.
