Chapter 149 - Crystal and the Inhumans

After some introductions, the four of them learned each other's names, and what Pietro had been up to since he left Sokovia.

After the mind control device was destroyed by Eller, Pietro fell into a dazed state, and in this state, he met Lockjaw, an emissary from the Inhumans.

Lockjaw is a large dog that looks like a giant bulldog, with the ability of psionic teleportation, but he is essentially still a human, just an Inhuman who accepted the Terrigen Mist and activated special genes.

The Inhumans are Earthlings modified by the alien civilization, the Kree. The Kree originally intended to turn them into biological weapons and deploy them on the battlefield, but later abandoned the idea for some reasons.

So the Inhumans remained on Earth and lived a secluded life, later even relocating to the Moon, where they established a city called Attilan on the dark side of the Moon.

However, some Earthlings have latent Inhuman genes, and certain individuals may awaken under special circumstances. Pietro was taken to the Moon after being mistaken for an Inhuman by those left on Earth by the Inhumans, and there he met the girl by his side.

The full name of the girl beside Pietro is Crystallia Amaquelin, Inhuman codename 'Crystal'. She is considered nobility within the Inhumans and doesn't look much older than Peter, but she should be an adult.

"So why did you leave that Moon city?" Eller asked Pietro in confusion, "It's probably not just because you wanted to find Wanda, right?"

"You're right," Pietro nodded, his gaze helplessly falling on Crystal.

"They want me to marry someone I really dislike!" Crystal said angrily, her face slightly flushed, and her fists clenched tightly.

"Stop, stop, little girl, calm down. Explain it clearly so we can help you," Wanda advised her future sister-in-law.

Pietro massaged his forehead and said, "Here's how it is: the Inhumans prioritize pure bloodlines, so they arrange marriages, saying that the purer the bloodline of the child, the fewer side effects there are after awakening their abilities."

"I see, inbreeding," Eller realized.

As an artificially created superhuman race, the Inhumans are not perfect; most of their people suffer from various side effects. Some cause physical deformities, while others can even transform a person into another animal.

Due to the existence of mutation side effects, the Inhumans began to advocate 'purity,' which refers to people with fewer side effects. When Pietro arrived at Attilan, he was almost recognized as royal offspring because of his good abilities and lack of deformities.

Crystal seems fine, but her own immune system is actually very weak, making her prone to various illnesses if she leaves Attilan.

"Yes, they want to marry me to my sister's husband's brother." A tear even streamed from the corner of Crystal's eye as she spoke, giving her a delicate, heartbroken appearance.

"Your circle is really messed up," Wanda complained.

"So I brought Crystal out," Pietro said, scratching his head. "Although you might find the Inhumans a bit unfriendly, there were still some more open-minded people who helped us."

"What are you going to do next? Your girlfriend doesn't seem like someone who can stay away from a comfortable environment for long," Eller asked.

Pietro and Crystal's situation was a 'elopement'; it was already considered benevolent that the Inhuman royal family didn't send assassins.

Moreover, Eller still had some transmigrator stereotypes about Crystal; this girl was practically the epitome of spoiled, and she and Pietro might not actually be compatible.

Little sister, I don't quite believe you…

It's just that the two of them are currently in the honeymoon phase, and overly abundant hormones will make them overlook certain things.

Upon hearing this, Pietro put his arm around Crystal and then said to Wanda and Eller, "I originally wanted to ask Wanda for help, and Crystal's family will find us soon."

"Ha, I understand," Eller chuckled. "You want to make them accept this relationship through action."

"That's what I originally thought, because there's a rule within the Inhumans that you can change things by proving your ability, meaning through a duel, but that guy Maximus will definitely have his brother fight on his behalf."

At this point, Crystal's face suddenly turned white, and then she spoke a terrifying truth.

"If Pietro faces Black Bolt, he could very likely die."

"Black Bolt?" Wanda and Eller said in unison.

"He is the King of the Inhumans; he can blow up a building just by opening his mouth, and his speed isn't much slower than mine. If it weren't for his tacit approval, I don't think I would have been able to bring Crystal out of Attilan at all," Pietro said weakly.

"Interesting," Eller stroked his chin, pondering. "It sounds like this Inhuman King doesn't dislike you, and even wants to see how far you and your girlfriend can go. I'll help with this."

But in the end, it's the brother-in-law's love, so I have to help.

Eller understood from Quicksilver's words that Black Bolt actually tacitly approved of this relationship. Since that was the case, it would be easy; he just needed to go to the Moon and put on a show with Black Bolt.

Perhaps this King of the Inhumans also wanted Pietro to come to Earth to find help; as long as he could exchange a few blows with him, Black Bolt would tacitly approve of the existence of this relationship.

"Wanda, does your boyfriend also have superpowers?" Pietro asked, puzzled. He had originally intended for Wanda to help him find someone.

Upon hearing this, Wanda smiled slightly, "Of course he has superpowers, and he's very strong. Otherwise, how could he have easily knocked us both down back then?"

"So he's the one wearing the fox mask!"

Pietro suddenly understood, but he also felt uncertain, because both Eller and Black Bolt could instantly kill him.

"Alright, you two rest here for now. Once those people arrive, we'll make a plan," Eller suggested.

Eller's house actually has three bedrooms. Wanda used to occupy one, but now it's not needed. This empty room can be tidied up for Pietro and Crystal to stay in. Once things are resolved, Eller will have them find their own place.

With Pietro's superpowers, he could become a millionaire just by delivering takeout and packages, let alone earning a salary with the Avengers!

… … … … … … … … … … … … … …

For these two days, the four of them lived together harmoniously. Eller was quite happy to have a few days like this occasionally, as more people meant more liveliness.

But happy days always come to an end. This afternoon, two figures arrived at Eller's door.

"Are you sure this is the place?" A tall, White man lowered his head slightly, looking at the large bulldog standing beside him.

"This is definitely it," the large bulldog said, speaking in human language. "We should be gentle and not scare the Earthlings who are with Crystallia."

"I'll handle it appropriately," the tall man said confidently, then knocked on Eller's door.
