Early the next morning, Professor Charles, Gray Jean, and the Beast Hank McCoy got on the bus to the Leaders Conference and left Xavier Gifted Junior Academy, where they were present as security directors of the meeting, and one of the sessions was dedicated to mutant affairs, and Professor Charles would not want to miss it, and it would be more conducive to his advocacy to explain his plans for the future of mutant society in front of so many leaders.

Auroro remained at Xavier's Gifted Youth Academy as the interim host, and Professor Charles was very relieved about his disciple.

In fact, it was a very good day for the children in the castle, the substitute teachers were gone, and they could play to their heart's content, which was almost irresistible for these children, who were mostly thirteen or fourteen years old, these energetic children jumped up early in the morning and played all kinds of games on the lawn, and the older children went out of the academy in groups to go shopping, watch movies, eat, and so on.

This is a school, not a prison, after all, and the children here are free to roam the city for four days a month, and since Xavier Academy is at least gamma-level mutant children, they don't have to worry about being recognized by ordinary people because of their appearance.

Of course, Catherine is not counted, this child has a godfather and godmother in New York, and a house of his own, plus Cyber's entrustment, when Catherine entered the academy 3 years ago, she has been living outside the academy, as a little princess who will inherit the huge estate of the Devil Gang in the future, Catherine has a lot of funds in her hands, so every time she goes out, she basically arranges the itinerary, and the children have no objection to this.

"Now, let's go to Times Square today to listen to the concert, then go fishing, and finally... Well, there is a party in my house at night, organized by my brother, you must participate!"

Catherine sat in the luxury car, telling the other girls about today's plans, driving Santals, and Barbby was a little uneasy in the passenger seat, except for the surprise of Catherine's luxury car, the big boy always felt that there was something strange from this morning, as if something bad was about to happen.

This strange feeling made him fidget.

Santals, who was driving, noticed that Babi was uncomfortable, he reached out and took out a pack of chewing gum from the cabinet next to him and handed it to him, smiled and patted Babi's shoulder,

"Don't be nervous, kid, Boss Cyber is a nice guy to get along with, and he's very optimistic about you. ”

Babi looked at Santals's smile and felt a lingering coldness in this young man who was 2 years older than him, he stuffed the gum into his mouth and whispered as he chewed,

"No, it's not actually this, I feel... Something weird, my thoughts seem to be telling me to run now, the farther away the better... Uh, maybe I didn't sleep last night. ”

On the other side, in the office of Xavier's Talent Youth Academy, Auroro welcomed a special guest, she looked at the person in front of her with some confusion, and she whispered,

"Councillor Kelly, if I'm not mistaken, you should be in that room right now?"

Councillor Kelly still looked serious, he coughed lightly, and said,

"Yes, Auroro, but I received a temporary request from S.H.I.E.L.D., who are also responsible for maintaining law and order over there, and Director Fury asked me to take the place of those busy agents to escort the two mutant brotherhood "criminals" who were held here with you a few days ago to Bahrain Island, so that those criminals can stay with these children, which is dangerous. ”

He glanced at Auroro and pulled out a smile with some embarrassment,

"As you know, my other identity is that of the director of the National Security Agency, which is also my part. ”

"Okay, that's no problem. ”

Auroro didn't feel that something was wrong, Councilor Kelly had performed the same duties before, and in the current Congress, the affairs responsible for docking with Xavier College were also done by Councilor Kelly in front of him, and the professor didn't like agents entering the academy, so Director Fury's arrangement seemed reasonable.

"Please come with me, they're being held in the academy's activity room, what do you say... They behaved calmly, and I think there was a rescue plan on the Brotherhood's side, so Mr. Councillor must be careful. ”

Auroro explained intimately while leading the way, Councilor Kelly nodded frequently, and when passing by the grass in front of the castle, Councilor turned his head to look at the children who were playing, and there seemed to be a smile on his face, and he asked easily,

"Miss Auroro, why didn't you see those older kids? I heard you saved a girl from Magneto this time? Can you let me meet them?"

Auroro shook his head a little embarrassed,

"I'm sorry, Mr. Councillor, but Naughty and Catherine are out shopping, and they may not be back until evening. ”

"Oh, that's a shame. ”

Councillor Kelly's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he smiled helplessly, "I also want to see what difference is made about the child who was valued by Magneto." ”

After a moment, he looked at the Salvadoran Angel and the plaice escorted out by the heavily armed soldiers, and he gave Auroro a gentle smile,

"Alright, I'll go to Bahrain, the meeting will start in the afternoon, I don't have much time to delay, get some rest, Miss Auroro, your spirits look terrible. ”

Today's somewhat eccentric councillor quickly left Xavier's Talent Junior Academy with two prisoners, but less than 10 minutes after walking out, the truck stopped in a remote corner, and a line of soldiers walked down, instantly turned into a person, carrying a gun and guarding the alley not far away, while Councilor Kelly jumped into the truck and reached out to untie the special handcuffs to the bewildered plaice and Salvador Angel.

He Shi Shiran sat opposite the two of them, looked at them, and whispered,

"You made a mistake... But you still have a chance to make amends, I'll give you 2 hours to get that girl back! The Brotherhood forces in New York will cooperate with you... If it fails again this time..."

He paused deliberately, Salvador Angel and Plaice shivered in unison, Eric's way of ruling the Brotherhood was rough, and it was difficult for him to accept defeat as a man of power, even if he wouldn't kill any mutants, but banishing him to some inaccessible places to help the Brotherhood guard some secret strongholds was definitely not a good thing.

They are also human beings, and they also need their own lives, not to live like a wild man, and in comparison, even the snowfields of Quebec are much better than those hellish places.

Councillor Shi Shiran took out his mobile phone and pressed a string of numbers,

"I need to look up someone's information... My verification number is 51465154X4154!"

A moment later, the voice from the other side sounded,

"Honorable Councillor Kelly, whose information do you need?"

"Little naughty... Anna Marie, a Canadian, entered New York four days ago and is part of Xavier's Gifted Junior Academy. ”

"Please wait. ”

A few seconds later, the voice sounded again, like metal, "Three minutes ago, Miss Anna showed up on Fifth Avenue near Times Square, where there was a rock concert. ”

Councillor Kelly closed his phone and glanced at the Salvadoran Angel and the Floice, he waved his hand,

"Go, 2 hours, not sooner, not late, remember! After catching people, warehouse No. 13, 200 meters north of the Hudson estuary, someone is waiting for you there, and when you're done, leave New York, go wherever you want, don't make trouble for yourself, report to your original branch in 3 months, understand?"

"Yes! We know!"

Twenty-five minutes later, at the venue of the World Leadership Conference, the distinguished guests had entered one after another, Congressman Kelly and the Minister of Defense chatted and laughed, and walked into the venue, and after a while, he found Professor Charles and others sitting on the side, he sat next to the professor and whispered,

"There are also some mutants who serve the government in the entourage of the leaders who come this time, in order to avoid a bad situation, professor, I hope that when you scan the venue with your mental power, you will not attract their attention, and limit your mental power to this venue, there may be some secret conversations between countries that are not suitable for you to be known, I hope you can understand, and I believe that this is not a difficult thing for you, right?"

Professor Charles nodded, he expressed his understanding, Councillor Kelly patted him on the shoulder, turned to leave, at this moment, his eyes narrowed, Charles's mental power is strong, he can be said to be the strongest willpower in the world, but he is not without weaknesses, when he confines his spirit to a certain area, he will lose his mental power for the whole New York, even if something terrible happens, the professor will not be able to know at the first time.

This is equivalent to a radar that is turned on all year round and is abruptly turned off at this moment, which is simply a good time for infiltration operations.

But that's a reasonable request, isn't it?

After Councillor Kelly left, Hank's face changed slightly, he looked at the departing Councillor suspiciously, his head slightly tilted towards Charles,

"This request... It's kind of weird, right?"

Charles nodded, "But it makes sense... I know what you're worried about, Hank, but I personally have confidence in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance work, even without me, I'm sure they can maintain order, and most importantly, Eric won't choose to go crazy at such a time, he's only doing it for the good of mutants, but he's not a madman, he knows what it would lead to if he ruined this meeting... Thousands of mutants will die from it..."

The professor's fists clenched,

"I believe he won't do this, he still has a conscience and a bottom line..."

"Charles, this is not the time for you to bet on Eric's bottom line... I think we need to take a little precaution. ”

The beast took out his mobile phone, and at this moment, the ringtone of his mobile phone suddenly rang, and the beast was stunned for a moment and put the mobile phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Secretary McCoy, I'm Nick Fury, and I'm asking Professor Charles, who is next to you, why did he suddenly remove the mental barrier that hung over New York?

Hank's eyes narrowed, and he replied in a deep voice,

"Of course not, this is what Congressman Kelly requested, he said it was to prevent the secrets between countries from being overheard by Charles, do you have anything to say about his request?

There was silence on the other side of the microphone for a few seconds, and Fury's characteristic voice sounded again,

"Well, this request is reasonable, okay, then we will take over the defense of New York, and I hope that Professor Charles will protect the leaders attending the meeting, and that's it. ”

Hank looked at his phone, his face full of disgust,

"Nick Fury, what a disliked bastard, arrogant, rude!"

"His profession is not to be liked, Hank, and since Director Fury has made a package ticket, let's wait and see what happens. ”

Charles's attitude at this time suddenly calmed down, and he closed his eyes, "Since S.H.I.E.L.D. is so confident... Then let them come, and if they think Eric is the bug they can put down at their fingertips, then let them come. ”

"Maybe there's some truth to what Cyber says... Put down the knife, where does peace come from?"

"Charles, you?"

Hank looked at Charles in disbelief, he couldn't believe it was coming from Charles's mouth, but Grey Jean understood her teacher very well, and she spoke,

"Minister Hank, no matter what Magneto designs, this place is the last priority, as long as we protect this place, he will eventually fail, there is no doubt about it. ”

Hank thought about it, and when he turned his mind, he suddenly realized that what Jean said seemed to make sense... Unless Eric is really crazy enough to destroy the whole of New York, he can only make this leadership meeting a focus that he absolutely cannot give up, and he always can't avoid standing in front of Charles, and in the head-on confrontation, Charles and Eric... But there has never been a winner or a loser.

"Inform Auroro... Let her come over, and Cyber, by the way, Logan is back in the U.S. today, right?"

Charles whispered, "Call them all... We have to fight Eric with the strongest force, I have a hunch that he will be here today, you are right, Hank, I can't bet everything on Eric's bottom line. ”

A smile also appeared on Hank's face, and he whispered as he dialed,

"Now let's hope Eric can punch Nick Fury in the face and knock him to the ground so he knows where his real place should be... Alas, how do I feel like a villain when I say this, forget it, I still hope that the weather will be calm today. ”

Charles was silent, he turned his head to see Gray Jean's worried gaze, he smiled at his disciple, and didn't speak again, Hank's words were a little unserious, but they did say the current predicament of the X-Men... Nick Fury doesn't believe them, Eric rejects them as traitors, and Professor Charles' willingness to live in peace with humanity is not officially accepted and not respected as it deserves.

Professor Charles didn't have fire in his heart? He used to be so proud, and his willingness to sacrifice for the race was his own business, but that didn't mean that anyone could ignore his sacrifice.

In fact, at some point, being a savior in public is often more impressive than dealing with crises in advance, and since Fury thinks they can handle the fraternity without the help of the X-Men, let them get a feel for the pressure that Professor Charles is under on a daily basis.

Perhaps, this will allow some people to really recognize the reality and be more calm when thinking about problems.
