Villain in MCU- CH-94. Power for Christine

He went back to the car, got two bottles of good wine, pushed the door open, and walked into the villa.

Six people were sitting around the oval wooden dining table.

Jason sat at the head of the table and looked at him with a smile, "Stan, after receiving the Medal of Honor from the President, you have become much more arrogant. You even dared to be late for my welcoming party."

"I'm sorry, I've been too busy at the bureau. I hope the two bottles of good wine I brought can make up for my mistake."

In each hand, Stan held a bottle of aged Scotch whisky.

Jason said, "Okay, I'll forgive you this time for the sake of Scotch whisky. Come sit down, or the steak will get cold."

Stan looked up and saw Harley Quinn, Franklin, and John Wick sitting on Jason's left.

On his right sat the famous movie star Christine Wynyard and an unknown Asian man.

Stan was more familiar with the three people on his left, but his plate had already been placed on the third seat on his right, so he had no choice but to walk over and sit down.

There were various delicacies on the table, including turkey, pizza, steak, salad, and more.

These were all made by Robert and his wife, who had spent many days studying food books and putting their heart and soul into making them.

Harley suddenly held out her hand to him and smiled.

Stan looked confused, "What?"

Harley kindly reminded him, "Where's the Medal of Honor? Show it to me."

Stan shook his head helplessly and smiled, then took out the Medal of Honor, the highest distinction in the United States, from his pocket. It was treasured in a genuine leather wooden box.

Harley took the box, removed the medal, and put it on her chest. Then she said proudly, "Look, does this medal match my skirt?"

Everyone nodded in flattery.

Stan's right eyelid twitched wildly. Was she not going to give it back to him?

Seeing that all six accomplices had arrived, Jason took out a spoon and tapped it gently on his glass.

Everyone put down what they were doing and turned to look at him.

Jason said, "Everyone here is a core member of the Midnight Organization. Some of you already know each other, but for others, this is your first meeting. Let's introduce ourselves."

"I'll go first!"

On the left, Harley was the first to raise her hand.

She started, followed by John Wick, Franklin, Stanfield, David, and Christine.

When they learned that Hollywood star Christine Wynyard was actually Jason's ex-girlfriend and the former leader of a criminal organization, Stan and the others who didn't know her identity were really surprised.

After a brief introduction, dinner began.

The seven of them clinked glasses and talked about all sorts of topics.

Under the illumination of the golden chandelier, the scene was lively and cheerful.

After three rounds of drinks, the dishes had a rich variety of flavors.

Everyone, including Jason, had a rosy complexion. The alcohol quickly turned unfamiliar relationships into familiar ones.

At this time, Harley suddenly interrupted a new topic and started talking about Jason's superpowers.

Suddenly, everyone joined in the discussion.

Christine remembered something, lifted her long hair, supported her charming face with her right hand, looked at Jason with a dazed expression, and asked, "The 500 million dollars I transferred to you has arrived. Tell me quickly, which superpowers can I choose?"

Hearing this, everyone stopped talking and looked at Jason eagerly.

Jason remained calm. After all, how many people in this world could resist the temptation of superpowers?

Jason said, "Since you're all interested in superpowers, let me explain."

"Don't worry, everyone here can get one or even several superpowers, but there's no free lunch in the world. Superpowers come at a price. The cost of a level-one superpower is 500 million US dollars."

Everyone present became excited upon learning that they, too, could gain superpowers.

"Next, I will tell you which superpowers you can buy."

Jason opened the system screen and read to them all the superpowers and their descriptions from the superpower mall.

"Telepathy, telekinesis, healing, freezing, fire, lightning, weather control, cyclops, biological transformation, Colossus, virtual penetration, instant movement, angel wings, earth control, ultrasound, X-ray vision, invisibility, diamond form, shockwave, elasticity, magnetic field control, electricity manipulation..."

There were more than a hundred different superpowers available, and Jason kept reading until his mouth was dry.

He took a sip of ice water, looked at Christine, and said, "That's all the superpowers I have for now. Go back and decide which one you need, and then tell me."

As Jason listed the powers, Christine was already deep in thought about which superpower she wanted.

By the time Jason finished speaking, she had made her decision.

Christine said, "No need. I've already thought about it."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to her again.

Jason smiled and asked, "What do you want?"

"Healing!"

Jason was slightly surprised.

Given Christine's tough personality, he had expected her to choose a more offensive superpower.

For example, fire, lightning, or even biological transformation.

But Jason hadn't expected her to choose healing.

"I need to remind you that healing abilities have absolutely no offensive power. Are you sure you want to choose this?"

Christine nodded seriously and said, "I'm not interested in superpowers that cause violence. As the healing ability reaches its highest level, it can keep you young forever or even grant immortality. This is what I want."

Jason suddenly understood. Eternal youth was indeed a great temptation for a woman who loved beauty.

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say any more. Anyway, you can always buy more superpowers later. If you want another one next time, feel free to come to me. I won't overcharge—500 million per power."

Christine laughed and said, "Got it, profiteer!"

Jason felt wronged.

As a middleman, he didn't make a single cent from the transaction when helping his accomplices purchase superpowers.

[Ding! Do you want to spend 50,000 points to buy the superpower 'Healing Level 1' for your accomplice 'Christine'? Current points: 106,250]

Yes!

[Ding! Purchase successful! Remaining points: 56,250]

Christine's whole body shook, her back straightened, and her eyes widened.
