Aaron said meaningfully, "Although this place is good, it is not my home. To this place, I am merely a passerby after all."
"I've always wanted to take something away, a treasure of great commemorative significance, perfect, and unique."
"Peggy, can you tell me what I can take away?"
Peggy's heart trembled.
Could it be me?
Am I that outstanding?
Peggy hesitated for a long time.
After thinking carefully, she whispered, "But the war is still going on. I want to end the war and bring peace back to the country."
"Perhaps... that will still take a few years?"
As Peggy spoke, her voice grew softer and softer. Her heart grew even more melancholic and sadder.
Meeting Aaron would ruin her for life.
For some reason, she felt that Aaron was her true love, her Prince Charming.
Aaron was the first, and absolutely the only man who had ever made her feel this way.
She felt that if Aaron suddenly left...
Perhaps... her entire life would lose its color.
However, Aaron was a passerby not from this country. He would eventually leave.
And the treasure he would take away... would be another woman willing to leave with him.
Thinking of this, Peggy's heart tightened.
It couldn't be like this!
She absolutely could not let Aaron leave without doing anything.
"There are still two years until the end of the war, that is a considerably long time." Aaron nodded.
He naturally wouldn't truly stay in this world for so long. There were still many beautiful sights along the way. They were all waiting for Aaron to enjoy and appreciate them one by one.
Moreover, this was just a small experiment. He didn't want to stay for decades for one experiment.
He was about to say something when Peggy bit her lip and said, "Tonight there's a World of Tomorrow Exposition, and afterwards, there's a dance. May I invite you to dance?"
Night? Dance?
Aaron automatically extracted the keywords in his mind, and looking at Peggy's expression, he suddenly felt that his first day in World War II would be wonderful.
"Of course, I've never danced with anyone else before, so I hope you won't mind tonight."
"Absolutely not."
Peggy secretly rejoiced, 'Yay, I am Aaron's first dance partner.'
Aaron reminded her, "I saw what you were looking at just now. Do you have something you need to attend to?"
Peggy instantly came back to her senses. "Oh no! I still need to submit documents."
"See you at the Exhibition tonight!"
Peggy waved, feeling a sense of loss as she quickly departed.
Aaron watched her leave, pondering what he should do next.
His gaze swept the surroundings and he saw a little girl in a white dress, blinking her eyes while looking at him.
Aaron smiled at her.
The little girl was not scared at all.
She quickly walked over. "Brother, you're so handsome."
The little girl's eyes sparkled as she looked at Aaron.
"You are also very beautiful and cute. By the way, I am Aaron. What's your name?" Aaron rubbed her small head.
He sensed the presence of the X Gene component in her body. Moreover, it was in an activated state.
Aaron glanced casually, then froze slightly.
Mystique?
Upon hearing Aaron's praise, the little girl first smiled happily. "I am Raven."
Then she seemed to remember something and shook her head.
"I'm not like you. You are truly handsome."
"But me... I am very ugly."
"Because of my ugly appearance, I was immediately abandoned and seen as a demon. Nobody thinks I look good."
"When you see the real me, you will definitely think I'm ugly."
The little girl raised her head, speaking strange words.
She was still very young, but she felt an inexplicable closeness to Aaron. She didn't want to show her bad side in front of him.
Aaron patted her head, "Raven, don't worry about those things. Perhaps your ability is fantastic?"
"When you grow up, you will find that no man will refuse someone like you."
Marrying a Mystique is equivalent to marrying all the women in the world.
Playing with a different one every day.
You could even switch every hour and never run out in a lifetime.
Mystique didn't understand. She looked at Aaron blankly. "Big Brother, what are you talking about?"
"Am I really that amazing?"
"Don't doubt yourself, you are that amazing."
"You'll understand what I mean when you grow up."
Aaron looked completely serious.
Raven was indeed very young now. Even though she started fending for herself early, she still didn't understand what Aaron meant.
However, at this moment, she started looking forward to her grown-up self.
Aaron is so handsome, he definitely wouldn't lie.
Wait... he didn't see the real her, so why is he so certain?
After thinking for a moment, Mystique suddenly ran off again.
Aaron was momentarily stunned.
But then, an adult version of "Raven" walked out from the corner.
"Sir, have you seen my daughter? She looks just like me."
Raven looked at Aaron expectantly. Was she really that amazing?
If that's true, then Aaron wouldn't be able to refuse her?
Would he also hit on her, just like he hit on that older sister just now?
Aaron, having eavesdropped on her thoughts, twitched his lips.
Little girl, you got the wrong idea.
Raven was disappointed.
She found that Aaron's eyes held neither expectation nor light.
He seemed indifferent to her current appearance?
Why?
Did he deceive her?
So even handsome men can lie?
Raven became unhappy.
"Raven, don't do that, I know it's you."
Aaron patted her head, and Raven was instantly reverted to her original form. She transformed into the blue-skinned little girl.
Raven was stunned, looking at her "true colors" revealed, and then at the surrounding crowd.
Instantly, she felt a wave of fear. She was certain people would point and scream "Demon!" at her.
"It's alright, Raven. They can't see you. Right now, in this world, there are only the two of us."
"We are located within the world's Interstice. No matter what we do, the people outside won't know."
Aaron knew Mystique was very insecure, so he reminded her kindly.
Raven looked up in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and walked into the middle of the crowd. Yet, everyone ignored her, walking right through her.
"You also have special abilities?"
Raven understood. "You're not afraid of me?"
"In this form I have now..."
Aaron shook his head. "Don't be insecure. This is your ability. You should be proud of your ability."
Raven shook her head. "But everyone else is afraid..."
