Chapter Forty-Nine: Angry Trask

In the Situation Study Room under the White House, all the high-level people gathered.

The elongated, windowless room was illuminated by fluorescent lights from the ceiling, but the gloom that permeated the air did not disappear.

There is a lack of color in every qiē here, a mahogany conference table, black leather chairs, a seated executive and Trask in black suits, everyone and everything in the room is gray, and the silhouettes of individuals penetrate each other, filling with a gloomy feeling.

As the main target of the meeting, Trask was unusually irritable.

"Have you found the cause, Mr. Trask?" President Nixon, who was seated up, asked Trask, who was sitting across from him.

"The Algai base has been completely destroyed, and the billions of dollars we have invested have been wasted, and I can't account for it to the people."

Trask wiped his little eyes behind his glasses, got up from his chair, took out a book, and said in a loud voice: "It shouldn't be our intelligence leak, this is the information recorded by Mr. Cole who escaped, according to his dictation, a mutant with an Asian face appeared, where was destroyed, I retrieved all the records about mutants in the last ten years, and finally found this." ”

As he spoke, Trask distributed the information he had found to all the high-ranking officials, and the sound of flipping through the leaves began to be remembered throughout the conference room.

After a while, Nixon frowned as usual and said, "What is this, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with my question, what I want to know is how he knows about the existence of Algai." ”

The vice president said in a reproachful tone, "Is it that you have been too careless in your recent actions?" Trask, the leak of intelligence of the director. ”

Trask glanced at the vice president, his eyes narrowing slightly. The emotion on his face changed wonderfully, but soon, he immediately retorted: "No, I don't have any mistakes here." ”

"But that's not what I know, Trask." It was the director of the CIA, who had been silent, with a mustache all over his head and a certain mysterious air when he spoke.

"My intelligence officer sued me. On the day of the accident, you went to the base of Agueda, and beyond that. You've gone somewhere else. ”

Trask's pupils shrank instantly, and everyone was keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere on Trask's body.

"I don't think this is the time to think about these things, Mr. President." Trask interrupted, "And, if it's really me who leaked it." So. If he could easily spy on me without me noticing, then surely he must be able to approach you, and I don't know what terrible things those angry mutants would do, or, perhaps, like President Kennedy......"

"Watch your words, Trask." The director of the CIA roared angrily that Kennedy had been assassinated. It's the CIA's eternal pain, it's a serious mistake in their work. It's a shame that can't be washed away.

"I'm not making a big fuss, Mr. President." Trask, who had regained the initiative, regained his confident look, looked at President Nixon with small eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Don't forget, Magneto is still alive. ”

In an instant, there was an exclamation in the entire conference room, and everyone began to communicate carefully, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

"Quiet, gentlemen." President Nixon frowned and shouted, and in an instant, everyone fell silent, and Nixon reluctantly nodded and said to Trask: "Anyway, Trask, what do we need to do to completely solve those dangerous guys." ”

Trask, who had regained his grasp of a qiē, smiled slightly, and then said loudly; "Actually, right now, I don't know exactly what their purpose is, but what is certain is what they are planning, either their purpose is those imprisoned mutants, or, even more terrifying, they may directly provoke a war."

"So, say what you ask, Trask." Nixon said with a smack of his mouth.

"First of all, I need to have enough access to some CIA materials." After Trask finished speaking, he saw the CIA's face change greatly, and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not trespassing, I just remember that more than ten years ago, those mutants worked in the CIA, and they left some very interesting things there, I need to refer to it." ”

After speaking, his eyes looked at the director of the CIA without fear.

"Promise him." President Nixon's words put an end to the fight.

"Thank you, Mr. President." Trask bowed gentlemanly as a thank-you, and then said, "I don't mean to offend, because this enemy is probably the most terrifying mutant we've ever seen, so I have to build an even more terrifying sentry to protect us." ”

"Alright, Trask, we'll give you what you want, but I hope you don't disappoint us, alright, that's the end of the meeting."

After finishing speaking, Nixon and a kind of executive passed by Trask, and left the conference room, leaving only a gloomy Trask, holding the text in his hand tightly, there was a picture of an Asian on it, if Li Yi could see it, he would find that the photo on it was really himself, and his ability was clearly described......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Honey."

Someone called out to him in a gentle tone, and Li Yi came back to his senses, looked up, and saw Emma walking in front of him.

"How's it going, are the five kids resting?" Li Yi asked, he had been thinking about a problem just now, that is, how to completely solve the contradiction between mutants and humans on this planet, after the incident of the five cuckoo sisters, Li Yi found that he could no longer seem to stay out of this problem, he was now caught in it.

The two sisters, Amy and Gami, rested, but the other three children did not want to rest. No matter how much they are persuaded, they still seem to be very restrained. ”

"It's okay, it's going to get better slowly." Li Yiwei smiled, then collected his feelings, and said, "Come with me, Charles, they have been waiting for a long time, and Eric is also here." ”

"Hmm."

Emma nodded, and then came to the living room with Li Yi, and saw Charles, Raven, and Eric sitting on a sofa very isolated, and the atmosphere in the room was very awkward.

Li Yi couldn't help but sigh, these three are really difficult to recognize each other now.

"Okay, let's put a smile on our faces, and I'm going to talk about something very interesting, but I only found out about it after following Trask for a long time, and everyone cheered for it." Li Yi did the opposite side of them and said with a smile.

Emma sat down beside her.

"Okay, Li Yi, let's just put it bluntly, my time is very tight." Eric said with a look of reluctance to stay for a second longer, and Raven and Charles were also on the same expression.

"Okay." Li Yi shrugged helplessly, and could only speak: "I've been following Trask for the past few days, and as long as he appears in the place, I've placed a monitor, so I won't talk about these useless things, I'll say something interesting." ”

Speaking of this, Li Yi glanced at everyone, and in everyone's strange gaze, he slowly said word by word: "Trask has a child." ”

“……”

Everyone was black-faced, and Eric frowned and said, "Are you sure, you asked me to come all the way here just to listen to nonsense." ”

"Of course, that's not all." Seeing that everyone's appetite was satisfied, Li Yicai opened his mouth and said the most explosive words: "His son is a mutant......"

If what he said just now was just a nonsense sentence, then everyone was stunned by this sentence.

"Are you kidding?" Eric said in disbelief.

Trask, who has been brutally killing mutants, is actually the father of a mutant.

"I know it's ironic, but it's true." Li Yi was also a little speechless and said: "I looked at the medical records, and Trask seems to be very worried, his child's affairs are known, so he has been locking up his child." So, the kid is weak now. ”

At this time, Eric said: "This is a good opportunity, perhaps, we can use this to completely break down the trust of the US government in Trask." ”

"It's useless." Li Yi shrugged his shoulders and interrupted Eric's conjecture and said: "Trask is definitely a guy who can give up anything for the sake of what he has now, so if we break the news, it will only make Trask troublesome, but it will not shake the trust of the U.S. government in Trask, but it may cause a child to lose his life." ”

Li Yi's words made everyone frown, and Charles also nodded and said, "Li Yi is right, we can't do this." ”

Seeing that Li Yi and Charles both vetoed his proposal, Eric could only say helplessly: "Okay, you are all gods, then, what's the use of this news." ”

"Of course it works, otherwise, do you think I'd come all the way to let you come here?" Li Yi's treacherous smile instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"I've made a deal with that kid." Li Yi said lightly, but it was like a bolt from the blue, "He will mislead his father as much as possible, and then buy us enough time." ”

Everyone hesitated, and it was a long time before Eric asked, "Do you think his words are credible?" ”

"Don't worry, all I see in that kid's eyes is hatred for my father, it's a poor fellow......" (To be continued......)
