Another nearly five-hour journey.

Wait until Mark gets into his used Chevrolet car and drives to the Federal Building.

"Where have you been?"

Jack and Debbie, who were waiting at the door, walked over in an instant and said, "The minister has just arrived from Washington, and if you come a little later, Debbie and I won't be able to bear it." ”

Mark smiled slightly, pulled out two Sutton Town specialty gift bags from the trunk and stuffed them into the two of them, and said, "Here you are." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the two to reply, Mark continued: "I'll go up and have a look first." ”

After passing through the security machine, Mark noticed that something was wrong.

Although the FBI is a law enforcement agency, the atmosphere inside the building seems to freeze at this time.

It makes you want to suffocate.

As soon as I got out of the elevator and walked to the door of the conference room, I waited for the roar of the current forty-five-year-old Attorney General Justin Olen:

"Damn, those mutant mongrels poisoned Federation Square, crazy to do it, do they want to go to war with the federal government......"

Mark was slightly stunned.

Poisoning? Mutants?

As soon as he pushed open the door, he instantly saw five or six eyes falling on his body in an instant.

Justin Oren on the stage looked at Mark and said very unkindly: "Director Louis, you'd better give me a reason why you're not in the bureau these days." ”

Byron, who was sitting in the first row, gave Mark a hard look and shook his head very covertly.

Mark smiled slightly and said, "Rain Man Case!" ”

Oren was slightly stunned and said, "It's not over yet?" ”

Mark shook his head, and Oren saw this, waved his hand, and motioned for Mark to take a seat.

Mark smiled and nodded to Agent Teresa, the second row, the only female field supervisor in the New York branch, and sat down next to Byron.

was interrupted by Mark like this, and Oron on the stage rubbed his eyebrows.

Mark and Byron, who were in the first row, said in a deep voice: "Thirty-two people died on the spot, twenty-six died in the hospital, and the White House has ordered us to solve this case within a time limit......

"Louis ......"

"In!"

"You're a field agent, and you've cracked several federal cases related to those mutant mongrels, and I'm asking you now how much time I need to give you."

Mark narrowed his eyes, ignoring the look handed to him by Byron next to him, and said lightly: "Three days!" ”

"Good!" Oron raised an eyebrow, looked at Mark and said, "I'll give you three days to get the whole damn bed bug out of the stinking gutter." ”

Half an hour later!

When Oron walked out after the guard, everyone in the conference room immediately looked at Mark.

Byron turned sideways and said with a headache: "Do you know how dangerous it is to deal with those mutants? ”

"Last month, three field agents were assassinated by a stealthy mutant while on duty......"

Mark glanced at Teresa, who stood up behind him and said quietly.

Looking around at the people in the conference room, he smiled slightly: "He wants a murderer, it's a big deal that we give him a murderer." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Teresa put away the information in front of her expressionlessly, and walked out of the back door without squinting.

The other five people did the same.

It seems that the crowd was excited just now, but it wasn't them at all!

After everyone walked out, Byron shrugged his shoulders, sighed and said, "Anyway, you are the field director, and you make your own decisions." ”

After speaking, he also patted his thigh and walked out of the conference room door.

Seeing this, Mark couldn't help but show an inexplicable smile!

I want credit, but I don't want to take risks, and I'm talking about these people who just left.

Still, Mark can understand.

Cases involving mutants are almost always referred to military law enforcement agencies.

After all, it is clear that the average law enforcement officer will have a hard time competing with the increasing number of mutant crimes.

Maybe when you get there, you won't even see anyone, and you'll go straight to Hell to report to Mephisto.

Inside Mark's office!

"Boss, you took this case?"

"Yes!"

"There's mutants involved."

"I know!"

Jack and Debbie, who got the news, glanced at each other, and looked at Mark sitting in the office chair with a faint smile.

Mark signed his name on the few documents on the table that needed to be processed.

stood up, looked at the two who didn't speak, and smiled slightly: "Take it easy, after graduating from the academy, have I ever cheated you?" ”

"Nope!" Jack said.

Although Debbie didn't speak, her eyes were full of trust in Mark!

In the academy that graduated at the same time, most of the students were still hovering in the position of first-class agents, and the two of them were assigned to a group because of Mark.

I realized what it means to be promoted, like taking an elevator!

In just six years, the two have risen to the position of senior agents.

And Mark, even more, sat in the position of the chief agent together.

The speed directly made other students in the same period shout that there was a shady scene.

But!

Mark's team showed a record that was enough to silence everyone, including the group of bureaucrats sitting in the office in Washington.

With a slight smile, Mark opened the drawer, took out the documents and pistol inside, and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Visit our old friends."

……

Xavier Academy for Geniuses!

This academy has no reputation among ordinary people.

But in a particular group, the academy is like the Vatican in the hearts and minds of the faithful!

Thirty-five miles north of New York City!

Westchester County!

As they drove through the thick woods, the eyes of the three of them suddenly brightened.

In the distance, an ancient castle that seems to have survived endless wind and rain rises in the thick of the woods!

After Jack and Debbie looked at each other, Jack said to Mark who was driving the car with some hesitation, "Boss, are you sure you want to visit here?" ”

Mark glanced at Jack and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Jack opened his mouth and said, "I remember that you and the red-haired lady didn't end up very well. ”

Debbie couldn't help covering her forehead, and said with a somewhat painful expression: "How bad, I still remember that time it was directly thrown out by the people inside." ”

Three years ago, no, it should have been five years ago!

The trio's first case was about mutants, and under Mark's leadership, Jack and Debbie learned about Xavier's existence for the first time.

Subsequently, as long as it was a federal crime case involving mutants, all three would come here to get Xavier Academy's help.

But......

One afternoon three years ago, Jack and Debbie, who were dining, heard a roar.

Immediately, they saw their team leader, Mark, being thrown out like a broken sack by a long-haired blue monster.

It's like throwing garbage!

The two of them also experienced the feeling of trapeze.

After leaving Xavier Academy, the two of them asked in a circle.

Mark said with a melancholy and sighing face:

"No way, the relationship is broken......"
