Chapter Twenty-Four: The Nameless Man
After hearing Charles's answer, Lorna didn't seem satisfied, and continued to look at Charles seriously and asked. "Charles, what the hell are you doing now, and it's completely different from what you planned to do at the beginning, why are you doing that?"
"Do you mean that I have turned myself into a mutant representative? What do you think I'm doing?" Charles asked rhetorically.
"I don't know, the plan you told us at the beginning was that you were going to use your identity as an alien ambassador to solve this matter, so we followed you here, and suddenly told everyone that you were a mutant, and even said that you started to fight for the rights and interests of mutants, why? Or is it all false that what you told us before?
"Hey, I'll swear first, what I told you before is true, but I suddenly discovered one thing just now, I don't seem to have asked the earth I came to if I want to start formal contact with the government here, if I don't know the purpose of telling my information without authorization, it's not a good idea, then they blame me, I don't feel good, so I changed my plan a little at the last minute, sorry, I didn't notify you in advance, and asked you to cooperate with me in acting. Indeed, although the Avengers already knew about this Earth, and even said that they were ready to make contact, Charles never cared about it, if their plans conflicted with their actions, and there was an unknown situation at that time, Charles didn't want to bear any charges.
"That's it, but you've told us the truth, aren't you worried that I'm telling those people that you're not some mutant, you're from another Earth? And what you're saying to the media is a lie. Lorna asked, with a serious expression.
"Will you?" asked Charles as he looked at Lorna and smiled, and before Lorna could continue to ask why, he began to speak to himself.
"Do you know why I was able to solve that ambush just now? because those ambushes were for X-factor carriers, that is, for mutants, you know, I don't have any X-factors on me, so their ambush didn't work.
Well, now that I am considered by them to be a special mutant with great ability, this will make them start to fear you mutants, because their means against mutants have failed, so in my opinion, if you choose to tell them my true information, then you will not gain a single benefit, they will negotiate with me amicably, and then continue to oppress you, your situation will not change anything, will it?"
"So what is your purpose, to lead the mutants in a rebellion, to prepare the ground for your invasion of this Earth?"
Although Charles's words are very convincing, Lorna still doesn't dare to fully trust Charles, she belongs to this earth, and she recognizes herself as a mutant even more, and she doesn't want to cause aliens to use their compatriots against her hometown because of her own reasons.
You know, just now Charles was talking in front of the camera with the attitude of a mutant leader, those gestures, as long as Charles can escape from here, he can immediately gather a large number of mutants to do anything for him, if it weren't for the fact that Lorna couldn't determine Charles's true purpose at that time, she would have exposed Charles's lies a long time ago, and even Lorna has begun to suspect that Charles's contact with his own people was planned by him a long time ago.
"Alas, I won't do such a tiring thing if you kill me, forget it, it seems that you don't plan to fully trust me, and I don't plan to explain anything, and after I finish talking to the president, you will find that I have no intention of leading the mutants to counterattack the human race, if you find a little problem, you can tell the other party my true information yourself, okay?"
Charles looked at Lorna's skeptical eyes, and couldn't stand it anymore to convince her, and when she heard her conversation with the president, she would naturally find out that she was indeed helping mutants, not harming them.
"If you're really going to help mutants, then I'll apologize for the suspicion of you just now. Lorna looked at Charles's real eyes, and didn't continue to ask, if Charles really planned to do something, then he would definitely find out, in the current situation, Lorna still didn't find out Charles's purpose, so naturally she couldn't make a final decision.
"Okay, the other party is here, it's time for us to do what we have to do. Under Charles's perception, the president had already come to Charles with a bunch of staff, and Charles once again put on a grinning expression and waited for their arrival.
After Charles made a good expression, the president entered the office with his staff, and when he saw the casual state of the three of them, the president did not express his feeling that he was not respected, but sat down at his desk very formally and began to talk to the three of Charles.
"Hello, Lorna Dane, Marcos Diaz and this unknown Mr. mutant, can you tell me how you managed to be so untraceable in this world?" the president asked Charles curiously as he spoke, how he managed to find out even a little bit of information about Charles.
"Superpowers, I can make anyone think that my existence is reasonable, and then ignore it, it is the ability that can be born undetectable, it is not easy for my mother to bring me up, I had to tie me to my body since I was a child so that I didn't get lost, this situation didn't improve until I knew how to get home, but at that time, everyone forgot to let me register my identity information, so there was no more. Charles casually made up a reason and dismissed the president's question.
"So you have a superpower similar to stealth, right?" the president asked, seemingly believing Charles' reasoning.
As for why he believed it, it was naturally the Sentinel Secret Service who told him that Charles was the multi-capable person they had discovered, and this multi-capable person should also have an ability that is stealth.
"Yes, in fact, no one would have noticed that I had been here if I had come here incognito, and I had been here a few times, but it was boring, so I didn't come again. Charles confirmed the president's guess and said with a grin.
"Got it, so what should I call you?" the president confirmed all his speculations from Charles's words, and asked about Charles's official title.
"Nameless, I prefer that title. Instead of introducing himself, Charles took a pseudonym again.
