CHAPTER 416 ESCAPING (2/2)

…

Just as the X-Men traced Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch’s position and opened the s.p.a.ce Door again, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were hiding under a small hill to rest at this time. Indeed, as PathFinder though, Quicksilver, who has been running all the way can’t hold on anymore. His speed is fast but he can’t get rid of Blink who has s.p.a.ce jumping ability.

“Pietro, can you still hold on?” Scarlet Witch asked worriedly, looking at the gruff Quicksilver sitting on the floor.

If Scarlet Witch wasn’t injured in the fight last night, they should have escaped by now. Although Professor Charles’ mental lock is powerful, Scarlet Witch’s mental strength is also strong enough to s.h.i.+eld them from this mental lock when she is not injured.

And this escape depends on Quicksilver’s ability, which also enabled Scarlet Witch to recover some of her strength. Twelve hours had pa.s.sed, and Scarlet Witch decided that she should be able to block Professor Charles’s mental lock by now as Quicksilver really won’t last long.

“How is your recovery? I can still run for about a hundred kilometers, and then I won’t be able to run anymore.” Seeing Scarlet Witch’s worry-filled face, Quicksilver asked a question first, and then expressed how long he could persist.

“A hundred kilometers? As long as I can block this d.a.m.n mental lock, it should be enough for us to get rid of the Mutant who can see far away.” After hearing Quicksilver’s answer, Scarlet Witch seriously said after thinking about it.

“Are you confident? If you don’t make it the first time, maybe we won’t get away with it this time! I don’t know why the X-Men are after us! I thought after Red Skull died, we would really be free, but I didn’t realize the X-Men were this crazy.” Hearing the words of Scarlet Witch, Pietro asked another sentence gravely. Then Quicksilver teased them about their situation, clearly confused by the X-Men’s pursuit.

“I don’t know why they are targeting us so much. We didn’t do much damage to X-Men even when we were in Hydra. Speaking of which, they seemed to be overreacting this time!” Hearing Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch couldn’t help saying that.

The brother and sister really don’t understand why the X-Men are so desperate to pursue the two of them. Hydra has already been destroyed and the two of them don’t plan to fight anyone in the future.

Of course, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch didn’t know that Professor Charles wanted to target them because Lin Rui had talked about them. A pair of Mutant brother and sister with Level 4 Mutant ability whit one of them likely to reach Level 5 in the future, which makes Professor Charles attach great importance to them.

“No! They’re chasing us again!” Just as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch finally took a break, Scarlet Witch suddenly stood up and shouted nervously.

“Pietro, I will first s.h.i.+eld us from that strong mental power, and then we will leave. Remember, you have to take us a hundred kilometers away this time and we would be able to get rid of them.” Then, Scarlet Witch reminded Quicksilver after mobilizing her powers.

Buzz!

“Go!” She shouted sternly after a pale red light enveloped Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.

Brus.h.!.+

Then, Quicksilver picked up Scarlet Witch and silver and red light intertwined as they ran away into the distance.

Dada~

Just as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch left again, there was a roar outside the small valley. Then, a huge figure of Colossus broke in. However, by this time Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch had already escaped.
