Chapter 399: He's Simply a God-like Being!
"Someone's hijacking the plane!" The moment the cabin door detached from the fuselage, one of the SWAT officers wearing a steel helmet immediately roared, and bracing against the howling gale rushing in, quickly turned his gun muzzle, aiming at the right side where the cabin door was missing.
"Before I leave, I'll give you a gift."
Xia Shang sneered, using psychic power to grab Mystique, then dragged her into the air beside him. Next, he raised his hand and lifted the several-ton heavy helicopter, and under everyone's terrified gaze, suddenly threw it towards Nixon! The huge force, combined with the invisible psychic power, caused the entire fuselage to fly towards the ground like a missile at astonishing speed.
"Shit! Who the hell did I piss off to always be the target? Can't you pick someone else?" Looking at the helicopter flying towards him, Nixon couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Seeing this scene, almost everyone on the scene held their breath, their pupils dilating, and their heartbeats quickening.
Just then, a towering figure shot up from the ground.
"It's another mutant!" Everyone cried out in surprise, seeing the mutant extend his hands, seemingly intending to intercept the charging helicopter.
"Holy crap, my God!"
Nixon and the others actually saw Homelander holding the helicopter's head with both hands, and even under the huge impact force, he didn't retreat half a step.
"He's simply a god-like being." Camille, with a shocked expression, spoke everyone's inner thoughts at that moment.
In the sky, after seeing his attack intercepted by Homelander, Xia Shang didn't speak, but took Mystique and left directly.
"That guy finally left." Nixon looked at the departing Xia Shang and let out a long sigh of relief. Damn! Being the President of the United States is indeed a high-risk profession. After lamenting his difficulties, he immediately looked towards Homelander, who was holding up the helicopter.
Under everyone's reverent gaze, Xia Shang slowly descended to the ground with the helicopter. Afterward, he first pulled out his hand, which was stuck in the steel plate, and then walked to the cabin door to check the injury of the SWAT officers inside.
Although the helicopter was intercepted by him in time and didn't crash, the SWAT officers were still knocked unconscious by the impact force. Fortunately, they were wearing helmets, otherwise, they might not have survived the collision just now.
After checking the injury, he nodded towards Nixon, "They're still alive, quickly take them to the Hospital."
After speaking, he looked up at the sky, then his leg muscles instantly tensed, and he suddenly stepped towards the ground. Bang! With a muffled thud, he seemed to carry a powerful airwave, rushing towards the sky at a speed difficult for the naked eye to capture. Soon, his figure streaked across the sky, like a streak of lightning, leaving a straight white wake in the air.
The scene fell silent for four or five seconds. The reporters stood up one after another, looking at each other. Well, now they had no mind to pay attention to Nixon's trivial old matters. Compared to the eavesdropping incident, the two mutants who just appeared were the big hot topic and big news for the United States next!
…………
Ten-plus minutes later, Xia Shang arrived above a bar in Las Vegas with Mystique. This place used to be the base of the Hellfire Club, but ever since the Black King died, the Hellfire Club was handed over to Magneto by the White Queen. However, not long after, Magneto was arrested and taken to The Pentagon for allegedly attacking the President of the United States.
As for the other mutants under his command, except for Mystique, they were all arrested and turned into experiment consumables.
As for Mystique, she was on the run across the United States for a period of time. Due to the special nature of her ability, the US Government had launched multiple capture operations, but none were successful, until last year when she publicly assassinated Dr. Trask at a press conference and was caught on the spot. Since then, she became a living specimen at the mercy of others.
According to the development of the original plot, Mystique only escaped from the US Military Laboratory twenty-plus years later and was preparing to kidnap a Representative from the "anti-mutant faction".

"Half a month ago, I bought this place for three million US Dollars and renamed it Vought Club." Xia Shang reached out and pressed on Mystique's shoulder, and with a teleportation, appeared in the corner of the bar.
Then, he looked at the handcuffs on Mystique. The steel handcuffs instantly tore open from the middle, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
"Who exactly are you? Why did you save me?" Mystique swept a glance over the bar. The surroundings were filled with rock music and the noise of the patrons. In addition, a thick smell of tobacco permeated the air, a very familiar feeling, because she had been to this bar many times before being caught.
"Guess?"
Xia Shang smiled slightly, took out a vinyl record from the cabinet beside him, and placed it on an old-fashioned music player. Not long after, a relatively melodious country music gently flowed out from it.
Mystique slightly frowned, thought for a moment, and soon, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She said excitedly, "Did Magneto send you?"
"Why not Charles?"
As soon as Xia Shang's words fell, Mystique shook her head, "Anyone is possible, except him."
"You seem to understand Charles quite well." Waving to call over a waitress, Xia Shang ordered two cups of free purified water.
"Charles wouldn't choose to be an enemy of the US Government, so it's impossible for him to send someone to save me." Mystique asked for a cup of whiskey and took a sip. The clearly spicy and smooth wine became exceptionally bitter in her mouth.
"Thank you." Xia Shang took the glass from the waitress's hand and nodded with a smile.
"Hope you enjoy your time."
The hot-bodied waitress glanced at Mystique. Seeing that the other party had a female companion, and a quite pretty one at that, she wisely turned and left.
"Now can you answer my previous question?" Mystique drank the alcohol in the cup in one gulp, then stared intently at Xia Shang.
She didn't believe the other party would save her for no reason.
"Firstly, your previous boss, Magneto, is currently imprisoned at the bottom of The Pentagon. Unless someone goes to save him, he'll be locked up for at least ten or twenty years. Secondly, the reason I saved you is because, in my opinion, you barely have some use value. Although your ability is very weak, it can occasionally be of some use."
After hearing Xia Shang's words, Mystique vaguely felt that the other party was not a good person, so she asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Help me steal the experiment data and related documents concerning the Sentinel Program, or directly destroy them."
"Of course, I will send someone to go with you." Xia Shang put down the water cup and clapped his hands.
Only to see a black person wearing blue goggles walk out from the shadows and come before the two of them.
