"It's not fair, I also have X genes, why am I not a mutant?" An ordinary family in Boston,.

Hearing the youngest son's complaints, the Drake couple at the table looked at each other.

This is the Bobby family in the suburbs of Boston, some time ago his parents sent away their eldest son, who had returned to their hearts, and thought that life could be restored to the peace of the past, but they did not expect that the mentality of the youngest son, who experienced the prosperous world after the trip to Manhattan, had a wonderful change.

Having seen the happy life of his mutant brother, Ronnie's little friend suddenly became extremely dissatisfied with his ordinary time, and now his view of mutants has changed dramatically, from being full of hatred to suddenly taking a sharp turn, to becoming extremely envious and jealous, as if everything his brother enjoys is brought about by his mutant status - of course, it is true, if not the long-term panic before the arrival of Zài Eric. Because of this mentality, Ronnie has been complaining since Bobby left, as if his brother is capable and he is not entirely the fault of his parents, completely forgetting how he was ashamed of having a mutant brother in the first place.

His attitude was undoubtedly a great headache for his parents.

Originally, Babie's identity was already aware of the Drakes, and when they felt that they might have to face the pain of losing a child, they redoubled their love for the next generation and invested in their young son, spending money to send him to a private college instead of attending a public school like Bobby, but the change of circumstances caught them off guard, and now the abandoned Babi has left his brother Ronnie far behind.

It is conceivable that with that ability, coupled with the support of his mentor, Babi's future must be bright and smooth, and his brother is not so optimistic.

"Why don't we try. See if you can send Ronnie to Xavier Academy? Mrs. Derick tentatively asked her husband's opinion.

Mr. Drake shook his head, he had thought before, but reason told him that it was not realistic.

"There's mutants everywhere there. Ronnie is incapable, how could Dean Xavier agree. ”

"We can try. Mr. Dean seems kind, Mr. Eric is very nice, and maybe we can do something for Ronnie. Mrs. Derick tried to convince her husband that the idea had been brewing for days at Ronnie's behest. At least we can ask Tobabi and ask around than give up without making any effort. ”

This is the mood of parents, and even if there is a glimmer of hope for the next generation, you can try it.

Mr. Drake was muttering when a live local news popped up on the TV.

"Myers Rolling Mill, which has been bankrupt for five years, is finally getting a new lease of life today. The identity of the buyer is suspected to be Mr. Eric, a newly promoted honorary citizen of New York and a hero of the ranks, and if the deal is completed, it is believed that the investment amount will not be less than 200 million. On television, a reporter was flushed with excitement, while not far behind him, Eric, accompanied by several men in black, walked out of the hotel.

"Bobby?" Before he could react, Mrs. Derick pointed behind her and shouted, there was not a son of her own among the group of young people who followed Eric!

The couple looked at each other again, and soon the phone rang.

When people are on the road, Eric doesn't know what the Dericks are thinking, he cares more about whether the factory is as he wants as the brochure says.

After the meandering Charles River, they soon left downtown Boston and onto the High Highway. The area is hilly, with roads stretching through rolling hills, and trees as far as the eye can see. Pentagonal maple grows on both sides of the road. Although it is already late autumn, the trees do not look bare, there are as many as several colors on each tree, the green leaves are still very green, the yellow leaves have a kind of Yongrong delicate, the apricot yellow leaves reveal a faint redness, and the real red leaves show different levels by their color shades.

After enjoying the scenery all the way, the car finally stopped in an abandoned factory area.

"Oh hmm", Eric almost had the urge to whistle, this factory was really only out of production for five years?

Looking at the mossy steps and the grass that was too thick to walk down to, Eric suddenly wondered if S.H.I.E.L.D. had taken the bank's benefits. to sell this deserted land to himself.

"It's not like that, it's just something that happened in between. So if it is not well kept, the machine is still very complete. Coulson was a little embarrassed. He spoke a few words to the custodian who had arrived at the scene, and then the gentleman with a grim face laboriously opened the door and invited the guest in.

After passing through the silent and uninhabited open space and startling a few sneaky birds, the factory appeared in front of the guests.

"This is a steelmaking workshop with two direct current electric furnaces and two ladle refining equipment, and the construction cost of the two sets of continuous casting machines totaled 70 million yuan that year, and now as long as the price of scrap steel can be sold." The custodian said this, but Eric ignored him, and rose to the sky under the man's stunned gaze, and looked around for a moment before coming down again.

The railroad was basically intact, and the small port still existed, so he simulated the idea in his mind for a while, and finally decided to take over.

Now he can talk to Coulson.

After some haggling, Coulson sent him back to Boston with a pale face and left, and Eric walked back to the hotel alone, where he soon received the news that Babie's parents had invited the college teachers and students to dinner.

Autumn is the most beautiful season in the city and a great time to eat lobster. Unable to afford it, the Dericks chose not to choose a high-end restaurant in the city, but instead used the locals' knowledge of Boston to find a small and distinctive shop.

Under their leadership, the teachers and students of the college followed the master around the mountain col and approached the endless Atlantic Ocean, and the small buildings on the shore were full of restaurants. They chose a small shop that looked like a ship by the sea, and ordered lobsters, oysters and various mussels, all freshly caught from the sea, so delicious that the locals like to boil them in sea water and dip them in butter.

After chatting with Babi's parents for a while about local specialties, the couple began to inquire about admission requirements, consciously or unconsciously.

However, they are destined to be disappointed, now there are more new students joining the academy, they still have a bad control over their abilities, it is not realistic to recruit ordinary students, in order to avoid Ronnie being accidentally harmed, Eric can only politely refuse. After he explained, the Derek family could only express understanding.

"Now we are implementing an active participation strategy, and there is not only one channel for contact between the college and the outside world, if Ronnie is interested, he can also come with us for social practice during the holidays." Although it was impossible to enroll, Eric's words opened another window for the family.

"Is it in Manhattan?" Ronnie couldn't wait to ask, the bustling Fifth Avenue left too many memories for him.

"Boston can do the same." Eric replied with a smile. "Just south of Portland, Portland on the East Coast, of course, not the eponymous Rose City in Oregon."

"Is that the factory mentioned in the news?" Mr. Derek was also interested. "I know the factory, and even though the factory is failing, it's a good place."

"You know it?" Eric was a little surprised that the factory had been abandoned for a long time and was quite far from downtown Boston.

Mr. Derick nodded and admitted: "It was a good factory, and it used to be very profitable, but unfortunately it was brought down by cheap foreign imports and increasingly strict environmental protection requirements, and the factory owner was forced to declare bankruptcy after dismissing the workers, and the bank has not found a suitable home since it took over, until you come forward this time." ”

"It's pretty much the same as I learned, but fortunately, the reasons for these two failures have no effect on us." Eric nodded. "Actually, we also invest in companies like Osborne, which are big companies with a bright future, and generally such large companies have higher returns, but in our opinion, a hundred small and medium-sized enterprises with a combined output value of only half of it are more important than a single large company."

"Is it to promote employment, I heard Babi say that there are already a lot of people like him who have contacted you." Mrs. Derick asks curiously, she had worried about how Babi would make a living when she grew up, and now the mother could finally rest assured.

"Part of the reason is this, not everyone is suitable for our life, a large part of the people want to live like ordinary people, I try to do what I can for them, to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by some people because they have no way out, and part of the reason is that I want our compatriots to live with dignity, of course it is a good thing to have their own industry, such as this time in the factory in Boston, I will give Babi some shares to let them experience the feeling of starting a business." Eric said lightly, the students already knew this, and there was no surprise on their faces, and the Drake family was even more emotional when they saw their appearance.

Although he was emotional, he could only be happy for Bobby, his parents thought, but Ronnie did not intend to miss the opportunity.

While washing his hands, he found Eric.

"Sir, I've been reading Lincoln's biography lately." Through the mirror, the boy stared nervously at his brother's mentor.

"Which version, what do you think?" Eric asked casually.

"The Kissed version, it tells us that no matter how great a person is, there is another side to the unknown." Ronnie said, and Eric looked in the mirror, and for a moment the boy almost trembled with fear, but resisted the urge to turn and run away.

"Go on." Eric said indifferently.

"I'm different from Babi, I'm willing to do anything, as long as you're willing to help me." There was a strange power in Eric's eyes, which calmed Ronnie, and there was a glow called ambition in his eyes that was constantly expanding. (To be continued)
