Chapter 274 Our thinking is too narrow!
As a new landmark in New York, there is only one office on the top floor of the Evernight Building!

Every decoration is extremely luxurious, and every detail exudes endless charm and dignity.

As you step inside, what comes into view is a spacious and bright space filled with carefully designed gorgeous decorations. Dazzling crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, making this already luxurious room even more dazzling.

This is totally not the place where the devil in my heart should be!

Raven also felt a little overwhelmed. Born into a common family, she had never seen such a large and luxurious room!
Through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows all around, she could clearly see the layers of high-rise buildings outside, densely and orderly arranged like a steel jungle. And here, she could look down on everything, as if the whole world was at her feet!

Looking at the man in front of him again, that warm smile seemed to dispel some of the fear in Raven's heart.

"How...how do you know me?"

Raven asked in disbelief.

He waved his hand to signal the bloodline who was imprisoning Riven to let go of the still somewhat immature guy in front of him.

"Raven Darkhor, a mutant who can change her appearance. Your ability is to completely copy someone else's appearance, even his iris, fingerprints, skin texture and even voice."

"…Have you investigated me?"

Raven widened her eyes, staring blankly at Lin Jue who walked up to her and stood less than two meters in front of her. She broke free from her restraints and subconsciously took a step back.

It was as if the young man in front of him with a bright smile on his face was a man-eating demon.

"Heh, last time I attended Tony Stark's banquet, many forces sent spies. Weren't you one of them?"

"!!!"

Raven was stunned. She knew how careful she was last time. She didn't even touch the guy in front of her, and she didn't even dare to keep her eyes on him. Even so, she was still discovered?
Is this guy a god? No! Maybe he is the devil that crawled out of hell!
Looking at the man whose expression changed from surprise to fear, Lin Jue felt helpless. He guessed that it was because Charles described his image in a too horrifying way that frightened the girl who had just reached adulthood in front of him.

When he attended Tony's dinner, the state he activated was not the Dark Lord, but the Fallen Archangel. He could capture the fleeting thoughts of all the humans around him, and his perception of emotions surpassed that of all creatures in this world.

This is also the reason why he discovered Raven. In addition to Raven, there were a lot of other well-known forces at the dinner party, including S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, the two bickering rivals!
"Maybe you should go back to your original self, Raven, and don't be fooled by Charles' words. I have no ill will towards you or him!"

Without continuing to approach Riven, Lin Jue separated his palms and signaled the two bloodline guards guarding Riven to retreat.

Hearing the footsteps behind him moving away from him, Raven stared at the innocent-looking man in front of him.

Then, she changed back to her original appearance.

The blue skin set off her curvy figure, and the astonishing proportions made Lin Jue's eyes light up. Although he had seen Raven's body in movies before, this was the first time he saw it in real life.

He suddenly understood Magneto's aesthetic taste. Perhaps it was not only an appreciation of Raven's abilities, but also an appreciation of her unique charm.

"It's beautiful..."

I couldn't help but admire it softly.

His words instantly made Raven freeze in place, her eyes fixed on Lin Jue's face, trying to find the slightest trace of disgust, but even though Raven looked back and forth several times, she could not see the trace of disgust in ordinary people's eyes.

There seemed to be only praise and appreciation in Lin Jue's eyes, as well as a hint of uncontrollable amazement.

Does he really think I'm beautiful?

An indescribable feeling lingered in her heart. Looking at Lin Jue's admiring and amazed eyes, somehow, Raven, who had just become an adult, felt a pang in her heart. At this moment, she actually wanted to rush forward and hug this guy in front of her whom she had only met twice.

In Raven's eighteen years, she had endured countless harsh and disgusted looks. Even her parents' eyes were filled with an emotion that made Raven feel suffocated.

She had no way to play with people of her own age and was locked up at home all day. Loneliness and dolls were the most things she had since she was growing up. It was not until she was able to control her own body shape-changing that she gradually got rid of the unbearable memories.

However, that was not her true appearance. Even Charles, who became her playmate, said that he didn't care about his appearance, but he left her without hesitation and started a relationship with an FBI agent. All of this left silent scars in Raven's heart.

Lin Jue was the first person to praise her original appearance. Her original unfathomable and terrifying image was intertwined with Hexi's face in front of him. The unexpected praise made Raven feel the fatal attraction!

Noticing that the girl's demeanor was a little off, Lin Jue suddenly thought that Raven seemed to have some psychological problems with his appearance. Thinking that the girl might be wrong, he quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I've always been generous in my praise for beautiful things, this isn't my flattery!"

This was certainly not his flattery. There was no other way. The original appearance of the girl in front of him seemed to be naked in order to change her body shape. Her exaggerated body proportions and amazing curves perfectly fit the aesthetic of those body lovers.

Lin Jue felt that this shape had the most exaggerated proportions he had ever seen in the world of Marvel, and it was graceful to the extreme!

With a very serious expression on his face, Lin Jue suppressed his smile and continued, "If my words have affected you, I apologize!"

Is he serious... and is he worried about my feelings? Staring blankly at Lin Jue's serious face, Raven couldn't help but feel a little flutter in his heart.

According to the rumors of X Academy, the extremely terrifying Grand Duke of Eternal Night actually apologized to a mutant abandoned by American society just because he was concerned about her feelings.

This was a feeling that Raven had never experienced before.

Somehow, she thought of Lin Jue mentioned by Eric, and compared him with Charles. She felt that maybe she had always been too biased!
……

Sitting on the soft sofa chair with her legs crossed, Raven's face felt a little hot. At this moment, she felt a little sad that her blue skin color prevented the guy in front of her from noticing her predicament.

Wow…

He poured the tea and handed it to Raven in front of him, who quickly took the cup with both hands.

Lin Jue also sat down.

"Raven, what kind of news did Eric ask you to bring me? Is that guy doing well recently? Ever since I heard from my blood descendants that he left my manor without saying goodbye, I have been trying to find out about him. I knew what he wanted to do, so I didn't stop him!"

Looking at Lin Jue with a flash of reminiscence on his face, Raven pursed his lips and couldn't help but soften his tone: "He is fine. He lost a child, but recently he has two more children..."

"child?"

Lin Jue's eyes lit up. He naturally knew what the child that Raven was talking about represented.

"Well, is it his wife? She brought the two children to him. In fact, he didn't even know he had children!"

Raven quickly explained.

"He wanted me to bring it to you. He hopes you can protect her two children because an evil guy seems to have noticed him. In order to avoid danger, he decided to leave, but he was not at ease. That's why I came here!"

"Number Four!"

Lin Jue frowned slightly, his face darkened, and he directly called in Sihao, his personal bodyguard who had been waiting outside the door.

Looking at the man in black special military uniform and carrying a long sword who flashed by in the blink of an eye and appeared in front of him in an instant, Raven subconsciously tensed up.

His heart was shaken violently, because the exaggerated speed and powerful momentum revealed the other party's identity.

This is the blood clan elder who even Charles is afraid of!
They once had a conflict with the vampire warriors. Although there was no bloodshed, they felt a power that ordinary people could not match. In the end, it was Eric, an old acquaintance of the vampires, who stepped forward to resolve the embarrassing situation in which they were almost taken away by the vampire soldiers.

As elders who are far superior to the vampire soldiers, these guys' strength is like that of demons in Charles' words.

He is really a guy who should not be messed with.

Raven subconsciously moved to the side, her eyes fixed on the man hidden under the mask.

"Go find Eric's children and protect them until they reach adulthood!"

Lin Jue shouted in a deep voice, and No. 4 immediately bowed his head and responded: "Yes, Ancestor!"

Without stopping at all, and completely ignoring Riven beside him, he flashed across the room and disappeared out the door.

Gollum~
A faint swallowing sound was heard from the side. Lin Jue looked at Raven with a look of fear on his face with some amusement.

"Don't be afraid, he won't hurt you!"

"Ah——No, nothing!"

Raven stuttered and said hurriedly. Looking at Lin Jue with a smile on his face, Raven felt a sense of shame in her heart. Subconsciously, she couldn't help but whispered, "I'm not afraid of him!"

However, as soon as she finished saying this, Raven regretted it very much. She felt that her voice was too loud just now... maybe that guy hasn't run far yet!

“Haha, that’s good! Although I don’t know whether my descendants have had any conflicts with you, which makes you so resentful of them, but what I want to say is that my will is the meaning of their lives, and they will never hurt innocent people!”

Lin Jue said solemnly.

"Sorry, our previous thinking was too narrow!"

Seeing the man in front of him repeatedly emphasize this, Raven also spoke softly.
