Chapter 067: Dialogue (Part II)
"Eric ......"
As soon as Professor X spoke, he was forcibly interrupted by Magneto, "Charles, even if I wear this helmet, you can convince me of anything, I have no doubt about it...... But only if you are 100% sure that what you say is true, don't you think? ”
Magneto's words made Professor X smile bitterly, "Old man, you have calculated that I will definitely cooperate with you in the end, right-"
"Because I know you too well, just as you know me." Magneto said.
"So even if I don't say it, you should know what I'm going to offer?"
"When I find that little guy, it's yours, I'm just going to make sure he doesn't fall into the hands of the U.S. government, or some other guy who has a problem with mutants."
"I hope you remember what you said." Professor X gave Magneto a deep look.
But Magneto seemed to be at ease, without the slightest sign of weakness.
Professor X retracted his gaze, looked at Evelyna again, and said, "Eve, now you can contact that friend of yours to confirm the whereabouts of that child...... He's in a dangerous situation right now, and only we can help him. ”
"Yes, Professor." Everea didn't hesitate to hear Professor X's orders.
She walked over to Professor X's desk, picked up the phone, and began dialing.
While Evereya was calling, Magneto suddenly looked at the air currents that were staring at him, "Little one, what are you staring at me like this, is there anything strange on my face?" ”
The air flow was suddenly questioned by Magneto, and he just wanted to speak, but he quickly stopped because he didn't know how to express it.
Professor X on the side glanced at him, and then said to Magneto with a smile, "He didn't expect that the legendary Great Demon King who dared to fight against the state apparatus alone and founded an extreme organization like the 'Mutant Brotherhood' would be such an inconspicuous-looking old man......"
"Do I look old?" Magneto looked slightly surprised, and turned his head to look at the Nightcrawler.
The Nightkin shook his head wildly!
Professor X couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he saw this, and was about to continue to say something, but when he swept over to Evereya, he paused.
He pressed his fingers to his temples, then frowned.
"I'm in trouble—"
"What's going on?" The Shapeshifter notices that something is wrong with Professor X.
When the Shapeshifter asked, Evelya had already hung up the phone and walked over with a worried expression.
"I'm afraid that kid has fallen into the hands of the U.S. government." Professor X sighed.
Seeing that Professor X already knew the situation, Evereya did not continue to explain, but it was not difficult to see from her expression that she was very worried now.
"Charles, finding people is your specialty, this time...... There's no reason for you to refuse me. When Magneto heard the news that Jimmy the Leech had been acquired by the U.S. government, he didn't seem to be surprised, but just looked at Professor X and asked.
"Let's go—"
Professor X flipped the wheelchair control knob and headed for the door of his office.
He is really good at finding people, but only if he has to use some tools.
*************
The matter of leech Jimmy is indeed a big deal for mutants, but it is just an inconsequential episode for Zhang Taibai.
As the saying goes, it's none of your business, hang high.
He's not a mutant either, so there's no reason to worry about it.
After calling once to confirm the safety of Evereya's new friend, he completely forgot about it.
Life, too, is back on track.
Jingle Bell Bell ~~~~~!
The familiar alarm clock sounded, Zhang Taibai lifted the quilt, and a carp rolled up from the bed, and the whole person looked energetic, not at all like he had just woken up.
However, he did just wake up, and he only slept for more than four hours, but his spirit was far better than the original eight or nine hours of sleep, which was probably another benefit brought about by the transformation of his physique.
After getting out of bed and washing up quickly, he went straight downstairs.
"Morning, boss—"
Coming down from the upper floor, he was soon spotted by the staff who were cleaning.
"Good morning, Amy." Zhang Taibai also greeted with a smile.
He was greeted by the bespectacled Asian face named Amy, one of only three part-time employees at the store.
Like Zhang Taibai, she is also a Chinese who grew up in New York, but she is much luckier than Zhang Taibai, she is not an orphan, and she has parents and siblings around her.
She is in college and comes to the Rainforest Cafe every weekend to work part-time.
"Boss, you really look younger and younger lately, are you using any magical skin care products, and recommend them to me." Old Earl was still out of shape.
"Why, do you want to be eighteen again?" Zhang Taibai said with a smile.
"Even if you can't go back to eighteen, it's okay to go back to fifty-eight, and if you can go back to forty-eight, it would be even better, I have absolutely no opinion." Old Earl had a nonchalant expression.
"When you fall asleep at night, you can become as old as you want in your dreams, and even if you want to become a baby, it is not impossible...... As for now, wake up and stop daydreaming. Zhang Taibai smiled and hit Old Earl as she opened the door of the café.
It's also just time to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a hurried figure ran in.
"Maitherine?" Zhang Taibai was surprised.
I didn't see Maitherin just now, he thought he was in the back kitchen or something, but he didn't expect to be late, which is rare.
"I'm sorry boss, there's something going on at home, I'm late." Maitherine said breathlessly.
"Is there any trouble? If there's anything you need me to help with, just let me know. Zhang Taibai asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's just a small problem, thank you boss for your concern." Maitherine hurriedly shook his head, and then said, "Then I'll go change my clothes first." ”
With that, Maitherine hurriedly trotted over to the toilet in the back.
Looking at Maitherine's back, Old Earl suddenly sighed and asked, "Boss, have you already rejected this little girl Maitherine...... Or is it something that has already happened? ”
"What nonsense, nothing has happened at all." Zhang Taibai denied.
"Hehe, I'm old, but I'm not confused." Old Earl smiled and said, "Men and women are such things, it's nothing more than that, this little girl Maitherin seems to have dispelled her thoughts about the boss, I don't believe anything has happened......"
"You still care about the current news, don't think about these useless things all day long." Zhang Taibai said angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes." Old Earl didn't talk back, and replied with a smile.
While teaching Old Earl a lesson, Zhang Taibai was also relieved in his heart.
He really didn't have that kind of idea for Messerline, and he didn't want to play ONS with his employees or anything like that, which was probably the best outcome.
"Good morning, Zhang—"
A familiar voice with a smile came from the door behind him, interrupting Zhang Taibai's thoughts.
