Chapter 149: Before the Storm (I)

"What's that...... Professor, I want to go to the toilet......"

The sun has risen and its light is no different than ever.

But, last night, there must have been thousands of people in this world who prayed that it would not rise.

Because, just today, on the lawn in front of the White House, a speech about the classification of mutants into the 'hostile camp' is about to be released.

Humans have even prepared weapons to use against mutants.

And in the face of all this, not all mutants are waiting to be killed.

After almost a long day of traveling, Charles eventually found some helpers, some of whom were his old comrades, such as Alex the 'Ravage', and others were newcomers, such as black guys with 'teleportation' abilities, and veterans who could create energy shields.

…… Well, in fact, after a busy day, Charles and Logan only recruited three members.

Originally, they wanted to pull Quicksilver into the team, but considering that the other party was just a child, they didn't want him to witness blood and violence again.

…… Especially on the premise that Charles already knows who Quicksilver's dad is.

"Your sister, there's a lot of shit and urine when things come to the end!"

At this moment, the mutants have entered the press conference arranged in front of the White House, and now, it is only three or four minutes before the president takes the stage to speak.

At this time, the black guy with the ability to 'teleport' asked to go to the bathroom.

Immediately, Logan refused to agree.

He still remembers the rude treatment he received when he visited yesterday, so Logan was extra 'caring' for this newcomer.

"Logan!"

Sitting in a wheelchair, Charles stopped the argument that was about to erupt between Logan and the black guy with a soft shout.

"Go and come back. ”

He said to the black guy.

"Thank you. ”

The black guy gave a hat salute to Charles, then glared at Logan.

He turned around remarkably, and this pretended to be chic made Logan's teeth itch with hatred.

"Let him go, Rogan, how long will it take for Victor to arrive?"

Compared with the black guy who has not received any training, Charles values his former comrades-in-arms and Victor with amazing skills.

He knew what Magneto's character was, and mutants with no combat experience were just kids with kitchen knives in front of Magneto.

"I don't know, he should be there on time......

Truth be told, Logan didn't have much influence on Victor, but he instinctively chose to trust the man.

"No matter what, if something abnormal happens, take action immediately, no matter how humans treat us, stop Eric first. ”

Charles's thinking is clear, he feels that even after an accident like the one in Paris, there is still a second option between humans and mutants besides war.

"Stop? What about after stopping it? exposing our identity as 'mutants' to the world, and then being captured by humans?"

Alex stood aside, and from the beginning he didn't quite agree with Charles's alleged plan.

"Charles, now you don't want to say anything about 'stop Eric first', you should know how many human armies there are around here, we need a complete plan!"

This man can be regarded as having been in the army, and he has a deeper understanding of the military.

He knew very well that even if they rescued the entire people in the venue from Magneto's hands today, and even captured Magneto, who was regarded by everyone as a 'heinous villain' and 'executioner', those with guns and power would still not appreciate it.

Magneto is a threat, and aren't they able to take out the threat of Magneto another bigger threat in ZF's eyes?

That's how the logic of the military goes.

"Be quiet, Alex. ”

Alex's volume was so loud that one of the guards, who was three or four meters away from Charles, turned his head to look at them.

"I'm sorry, Professor. ”

Alex apologized softly, and he pretended to crouch down to tie his shoes, staggering the guard's gaze.

However, his actions at the moment were in vain, as there was soon a greater movement that diverted the guards' attention.

"Please show me your invitation!

At the entrance to the venue, a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes was stopped, and he dug left and right on himself, but he couldn't find the invitation.

"Hey, I've been friends with the mayor for many years! I invited him to dinner last week!"

Eventually, he rummaged through all the places on his body where he could hide things, and then looked helpless.

"You can't enter without an invitation!"

The guards at the entrance were very dedicated, so the two of them were at a standoff here.

"Hey, hey, hey, Frank!"

The gentleman in the suit suddenly shouted, and he waved vigorously in one direction of the venue, as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

"Yo! What's wrong with you, soldier, why don't you let him in?"

A middle-aged man with a big belly trotted all the way from the middle of the venue, and he warmly took the gentleman's hand and pulled him directly into the venue.

"Mr. Mayor...... This gentleman did not have an invitation ......"

The guard boy had a look of embarrassment on his face, and he said to Frank.

"His invitation letter was signed by me, do you have any questions?"

The pot-bellied Frank turned his head to the guard and said coldly,

"What a faux pas! Report your name! Write a letter of resignation when you go back! I will approve you!"

The dutiful guard boy bowed his head.

"Mike! My name is Mike Arthur!"

Although he was unwilling, although he was angry, he still answered the mayor's question.

Loud and accurate, like a slogan shouted during the morning exercise of the troops.

"Okay, I remember you. ”

The mayor walked away without looking back, talking and laughing with the same Mark who had invited him to dinner only the previous week.

β€œShit……”

Mike wanted to say something with the 'F word', but he just smacked it to the ground.

On the lawn of the White House, there was a puddle of stains, and Mike, who felt a little uncomfortable, stretched out his feet and silently smoothed it.

As long as he was a soldier or a guard, he shouldn't have behaved like he did.

If the guests see this scene, it is indecent......

β€œHi,if_i_may.”

When he turned his head again, Mike found a yellow man standing in front of him.

"Let's go inside. ”

The other party held the invitation in his hand, and Mike took it and just glanced at it and let it go.

Although he still stands in this position, he is no longer the one who is devoted to his duties.
