061 Hearings

Finding a new mutant is undoubtedly a good thing for Eric. For a long time, Xavier College has been more concerned with those mutants who are cornered, and maintains a strategy of non-contact and non-interference with a large number of passable peers, and this conservative way of running has made the college somewhat lacking in students. Whenever Eric came to the playground and saw only a few seniors and a group of little furry kids training in the empty academy, he was a little worried. The foundation of the academy is not as deep as outsiders think, and this academy with very limited power is carrying the future of most mutants. He can't change the strategy of the academy, and he can't use his powerful psychic ability to actively explore a large area through the brainwave search machine like the professor, and he can only try his luck within the range of vision through his own magnetic field vision, and you can imagine how inefficient this way of finding is. Now there is a very talented little girl who is automatically packed and sent to the door by her parents, and he almost wants to sing a song to express the joy in his heart.

Declined dinner at Warren's house, and it was late at night when Eric returned to the academy, this time the students all went back to rest, and only a few professors were waiting for him in the hall.

"What's going on?" As soon as he entered the hall, Eric had a strange atmosphere, from the professor down, Hank, Scott, Jean, Auroro and others were all there, and Ms. Mora McTagort also came, the professor's ex-girlfriend and the tutors of the academy sat around the sand, whispering something, all with solemn faces, and only stopped when they saw Eric enter the door.

The professor beckoned him to sit down, and Ms. Mora spoke on his behalf.

Here's what happened: As Eric and his students repeatedly appeared in front of the public and attracted public attention, Congress finally woke up from its sluggishness under popular pressure, broke its usual silence, and decided to hold a hearing on how to deal with mutants.

Given the radical tactics of the Brotherhood in the two major mutant organizations and the fact that they are serving their sentences in a top-secret prison for their crimes, Xavier Academy, another powerful mutant organization, has become a representative of its own community---- and it is only natural that the Academy is a representative of Cheng DΓΉ, who is widely respected among the mutant community.

But there's a technical problem with that.

The issue is the safety and security of parliamentarians. As we all know, the birth of a distinguished parliamentarian was born by stepping on the backbone of many losers, and all kinds of dangers are innumerable, and once people reach a high position, the hardships they have experienced in the past become daunting, and they are more reluctant to take risks than those who are still struggling at the bottom. Now that the councilors know that the professor is a powerful psychic man, who would want to get up close and personal with this dangerous alien who can influence people's hearts?

The answer is no one.

Even if they knew that the professor could do it out of sight, they didn't want to take the risk themselves.

As a result, in the report received by Congress, Eric, who was relatively weak, received attention, and he was honored to be able to represent the mutants on behalf of the professor.

"I thought they would choose Hank, after all, he has been dealing with some departments for many years." Eric didn't object, just a little curious.

Hank spread his hands out in frustration. "Most of the parliamentarians don't know him, and some of them think Hank is more aggressive and refuse to attend as a delegate, so we have to choose someone else," Ms Mora said on his behalf. You've appeared on TV many times and been interviewed by Christine, and the outside world knows about you, and they have named you to attend the hearing, and the notice of the hearing has been entrusted to me. ”

Eric took the notice from Ms. Mora and glanced at it, it contained a few relevant matters. The hearing, chaired by the committee chair and Republican Senator Bill Stone, will be attended by a number of witnesses, and in order to ensure openness, the meeting will be made public by means of newspapers, websites, television, radio, community bulletin boards, etc., and at least three or more major newspapers and two or more television channels will be publicly reported.

"The only trouble now is that they're asking you to be restrained to reduce the risk." Ms. Mora deliberated her words and said what she was asking for. "They asked you to wear a special restraint suit and secure your position when you testified, otherwise the committee will refuse to hold a hearing for the safety of those present."

As she finished speaking carefully, everyone in the audience watched Eric's nervously, for fear that he would angrily refuse because of this somewhat insulting request, which would make all the work done undone to the will of the opponents. But Eric didn't do that, he pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement.

Everyone was relieved and finally took a breath.

"I'm going to be on time and do what they ask me to do." Eric said with a casual smile. "Some people may think that I will be provoked, but what is this insignificant humiliation compared to the suffering of my countrymen, and is it not true that we usually say that we are willing to sacrifice for our countrymen? I will not back down from their impudent demands, I will argue with them in a dignified manner, make our evidence public, and communicate our claims to the public through the hearings. ”

Eric's voice was sonorous and powerful, his attitude was righteous and awe-inspiring, listening to his words, the professor nodded frequently with emotion, he could see that Eric was not lying, Hank also came over and gave him a hug forcefully, feeling that he was not wrong.

"Are you really going to listen to them?" Amid the praise of the crowd, Auroro approached him and asked in a whisper.

Eric didn't answer, patted her on the shoulder, gave her a smile, and went back to his room.

As soon as he entered, he almost wanted to burst out laughing.

It's amazing that these politicians would come up with such brilliant ideas.

Being bound, detained---- enduring humiliation and pressure, still being loyal and unyielding under such unfair treatment, and expressing his persistent pursuit in front of tens of millions of spectators, this is by no means a shame, but a rare stage. By the slogan "Glorious sacrifice of ancient heroes is as glorious and great."

Humans have compassion for the weak, and no matter what they think in their hearts, they will weep at least superficially for the tragedy that has happened to others.

Human beings worship the strong, and they will have admiration for the warriors who conquer difficulties and laugh at life.

When these two emotions are mixed, Eric's career is much less resistant. Maybe there won't be many people helping him for a while, but they won't take the initiative to send it to cause trouble.

"I owe them a debt of gratitude." In the dark bedroom, Eric's eyes sparkled, and he said to himself, unable to suppress the joy in his heart.

He knew that from the moment he officially appeared at the hearing, no one could deny that he was a true fighter for mutant rights.

He finally has an identity that can be separated from the academy and exist alone.

The next morning, Mr. Fighter received an unexpected help.

"Medical group?" He looked at Hank suspiciously, the man of the beast had been entrusted with bringing someone over to meet with him to discuss the hearing in a few days.

"Yes." Hank nodded. "An old friend who has helped us a lot has sent a messenger who wants to meet you alone."

Eric agreed to meet with the representative of the hospital group.

Soon after, the representative came to Eric's room.

This is a gentleman in camel yellow overalls, he is about fifty years old, he is stout, his eyes are large and bright, his golden sideburns cover half of his face, he looks like a fierce male lion, but his smile is very sunny, and there is a strong contagion that you can't help but feel good about him. He walked quickly, and under Hank's guidance, he walked into the room with a gust of wind, and as soon as he saw Eric, he took the initiative to extend his hand to show kindness.

His hands are warm and powerful, giving the impression that he is much younger on the inside than on the outside.

As the two men clasped hands, Eric looked at the visitor, and the visitor was also looking at Eric, silently sketching the image of Eric in his mind. Undeceived by the outward gentleness, the experienced negotiator was keenly aware of the toughness beneath Eric's gentle exterior with a firm look and a dry, powerful hand, while subtly adjusting his strategy in his mind.

"Lynch Mograini." Visitors report their own names. "As a member of the Board of Directors of the National Medical Association and the American Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturing Association, it is a great honor to meet you."

The National Medical Association and the American Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturing Association are the two most invested lobbying groups in the medical interest group each year, and they protect their interests in the legislative process by communicating with lawmakers and petitioning members to express their demands, or by various means to convince legislators or regulators that the lobbyists are doing the right thing. There are more than 2,000 lobbyists serving the health care system each year, an average of four lobbyists per congressman, and those groups, including expenses paid to lobbying firms, spent $200 million in the first half of last year, half of which was paid by drug manufacturers.

Being able to serve as a director of two lobby groups at the same time can be imagined as having a wide range of relationships and strong capabilities.

The appearance of such a character at Xavier Academy is an intriguing event in itself.

Why did he come? Who is it coming on? Why at this time?

With a barrage of questions, Eric smiled and asked the gentleman to sit down, and they got straight to the point.
