Black Soul Invasion

Chapter 48
A week has passed since the super storm. Although the temperature is still below zero, tenacious humans have begun to rebuild their homes, and the city that was once frozen by ice and snow has become busy again.

Although preparations were made in advance, the severe cold still took the lives of nearly 500 million people. Insurance companies declared bankruptcy one after another, and a large number of enterprises were also paralyzed due to the lack of workers. Sell ​​factories and machines, but in this way, more people are unemployed and laid off, thus forming a vicious circle.

Although nothing can be seen in the short term, everyone who understands knows that a new storm is forming. This time it is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

This is a disaster for ordinary people, but it is a carnival for capital.

Stark Industries, Osborne Group, Dum Technology and other large groups have entered the market one after another, taking the opportunity to acquire land, monopolize technology, and eat a lot of money.Although Tony and others have kept their promises and released post-disaster compensation, rescue plans, special hardship allowances and many other assistance projects, the nature of capital cannot be changed. Even if they are group directors, they must abide by the rules, so in the final analysis, capitalists still eat bananas, Throw out the banana peel and let the common people grab it.

But all of this has nothing to do with Ashes. In his opinion, no matter how miserable the American people are, they are [-] times happier than the living corpses of Losric. If they feel unhappy, they try to find a way to change it. There is no point in being sad.

He's on the phone with Cassandra right now.

There was the sound of waves and seagulls on the other end of the phone. Cassandra loved the Mediterranean sun, which gave her tanned skin.

"You are really generous this time. Let me give you a score of 90. I'm afraid you will be proud if you subtract 10 points."

"The golden apple?"

"Don't worry, I've asked the courier to deliver it to you."

"express delivery?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Ashes said dumbfoundedly: "Isn't it a bit of a joke to use express delivery for such an important thing, in case it is accidentally lost halfway..."

"That's not possible." Cassandra said lightly: "The courier this time is an acquaintance of mine, and he is quite capable."

"Ah, who is it?" Could it be another demigod who lived the entire history of mankind?Ashes secretly guessed.

As a result, Cassandra said in a particularly proud tone: "I am a daughter!"

ash:"……"

"Hello, I'm Laura Crawford, the courier. Is Mr. Ashes at home? Here's a courier from him that needs to be signed by him!" A pretty little girl with the same wheat-colored skin and a ponytail was at the school gate call the door.

ash:"……"

Cassandra laughed and said, "I'm here as a daughter-in-law? Go, remember to be nice to her."

Ashes hung up the phone in a dazed state, and went to the door to sign for the courier.

The little girl named Laura glanced at the photo on the phone, and after confirming that it was Ashes herself, she opened the big box behind her, took out a small box and handed it to Ashes.

Don't tell me, you are quite serious and responsible.

Ember can feel the power of death inside the box without opening it, so there is no need to inspect the box.He asked curiously: "Is Cassandra really your godmother?"

"To be correct, it should be godmother." Laura shook her ponytail and said helplessly, "But forget it, she doesn't believe in religion, so godmother should be godmother, anyway, they all have the same meaning."

Cassandra herself is a demigod, and she slaughtered half of the Greek gods. She can only be a ghost if she believes in religion.

"Then why did you do that?" Ashes looked at the mountain bike next to Laura and the big box with "Takeaway Delivery" on it.As a person with a demigod as a mother, this mess is too miserable.

Laura frowned slightly, and said with a bit of stubbornness: "Cassandra is Cassandra, and I am me. Although she is my godmother...godmother, it doesn't mean I have to use her Money. I have my own pursuit, and I will also realize my own value, so I gave up Cambridge and chose London University. This decision made me have to pay the tuition fees by myself, so I worked several jobs, and express delivery was one of them! "

So your way of realizing your self-worth is by doing odd jobs?
Ashes couldn't understand.

Obviously there is a strong support, you can start from a higher starting point to engage in more meaningful work, why refuse?

This reminded Ashes of those salary kings who left their positions without authorization, that is, there is no need to spread the fire now, and the temper before Ashes was set aside would definitely break the legs of the little girl Laura.

"Okay, that will help you realize your dream as soon as possible." Ashes encouraged, and turned to leave, but Laura grabbed her by the sleeve.

"Give me the money!" The little girl puffed her cheeks and said, "This express delivery is payable! From London to New York, the total is 6 US dollars!"

ash:"……"

He thought Cassandra didn't care about his goddaughter, and he was wrong.Cassandra almost fell in love with her as a daughter, and even found a big job for her in order to help the little girl pay for her tuition!

Express delivery from London to New York is still paid on delivery!Do you think this is what people do?
Ashes even suspected at one point that this test was simply a cover, and that Cassandra was just doing her daughter's work for her!
"You, you don't have money, do you?" Laura asked a little guilty. After all, the courier fee of [-] dollars is so outrageous. When Cassandra told her, she was skeptical, but in the end she still Choose to believe.

It has nothing to do with the relationship between mother and daughter, it is purely because the other party has given too much!
Who doesn't love brightly colored pieces of paper? As an ordinary and weak woman, Laura is certainly not exempt.

Ashes couldn't describe his feelings in words, not only because he was cheated, but also because he really had no money.

He had borrowed all the money from Professor X, which was normal, after all, he was unemployed. Of course, he didn't just feel complacent because of it.

"Qin~~~~"

Ember releases a large summoning spell.

The reason why he wasn't called Professor X was because the old man got into trouble.He was prosecuted for a bunch of messy charges such as illegal mind control, threatening the president, mobilizing the army without authorization, ignoring human rights, etc., and is now being held in a secret base in Washington. The X-Men are actively moving around, and most of the survivors in the disaster are also supporting the old bald head, which keeps the exposure of this trial high. If the federal government still has a little brain, it will not make any extraneous tricks. So Professor X can be said to be quite safe.

"What's the matter?" Qin flapped a pair of energy wings and flew over without touching the ground.Ever since the disaster, she has fallen in love with this feeling of free release of power. Because her confidence has been built up, Qin has become more and more comfortable controlling the power of the phoenix, which in turn has boosted her confidence again. With such a cycle of conscience, her state is getting better and better. good.

"Lend me some money." Ashes said with a worried face.

"How much?"

"Six thousand."

"I'll give you [-], and ask me for it after you finish spending it."

"good:)"

Qin is a really rich woman, but Professor X raised her as his own daughter, not to mention making her the vice-principal, and let her also serve as the school's treasurer.You must know that Professor X has contacts all over the world, and whenever someone asks him for help, he must be serious. Giving money directly is too vulgar, and he can simply donate it to the Xavier School for Gifted Youth, which can also earn a good name for supporting education.

So there is a huge sum of money left in the school's books all the year round, and a bunch of VR experience halls in the football field and swimming pool have been built in the school. It's no wonder that those little mutants have been playing like crazy all day long and have no intention of studying.

Ten thousand dollars is a drizzle to Qin, giving Ashes the right to pocket money.But this arrogance surprised Laura. Although she is the eldest lady of the Crawford Group, she is angry with her family. Now she can only be a hard-working migrant worker, traveling thousands of miles from London to New York I only earn 6000 by sending a courier, but this little boy got [-] with just one mouth. Is this fair?Is it in the river?According to Laura, the proletarians of the world should unite!
The little girl glared at Ashes angrily, but Ashes returned a big smile, the little girl blushed, and quickly lowered her head.

Alice!This little boy... is really pretty!
　I didn't expect there to be recommendations, and there are still two, how should I say?It feels a little subtle. . .

　　Continue to ask for votes and recommendations~~
