Chapter Twenty-Three: Ambush

Outside the birdcage, a large number of troops surrounded the Capitol Hill, analyzing the situation and trying to enter the Capitol by various means.

Above the cage, several helicopters are also circling, and countless news outlets are intending to enter the cage before the military in an attempt to get first-hand information.

The New York Times reported that a total of three mutants, two men and one woman, stormed the Capitol today, demanding direct dialogue with the president, and after a simple communication, they brutally restricted the access of all personnel in the Capitol, nearly 100 senators and a large number of media staff were restricted to it, and their request was to give mutants a legal identity, and now the White House is discussing a plan of action for this incident, please wait for follow-up reports for details. ”

Compared with the helicopter in the sky, some large media are naturally more convenient, because they have already arranged personnel to follow up because of the previous meeting, and now they are in the birdcage, Charles has not isolated the internal and external information communication, so they are just routine media immediately stood on the front line of this incident.

"May I ask this gentleman, in the previous operation, even if you were attacked, you controlled the strength of the counterattack, and did not take the initiative to attack, why did you suddenly restrict everyone's freedom now, did you plan to restrict everyone's freedom in the first place?

The soul of the media workers is strong, and after discovering that Charles's birdcage only restricted their freedom of entry and exit, but that they were safe for the time being, they began to run to Charles who was heading towards the conference room and began to conduct their own interviews.

"Of course not, the first reason why I restrict everyone's freedom is because I found out about the proximity of the national army, and I have no intention of fighting the military until the result is officially discussed, after all, this is an important place, and I don't want the two sides to start an armed confrontation because the final result has not been negotiated.

The second reason is because I want the U.S. government to understand that mutants are reluctant to rebel against the so-called Mutant Act only because we trust the government to keep us safe, not because we are afraid of government sanctions.

Powerful mutants don't exist in this world, it's just that we have always thought that we are still American citizens, but the facts I found tell me that mutants are being enslaved, persecuted, and even rewarded, these things tell me that I have to speak up, and before the government of my country does something devastating, warn everyone, don't think that mutants are really managed, and think that we are the weak side, if you continue to choose to ignore the problem of mutants, then the final consequences may be very huge。 ”

Hearing that the media began to interview him, Charles was very happy to walk in front of all the cameras and began his speech work.

"Excuse me, what will be the consequences, can you elaborate?" the media naturally followed suit, excitedly asking Charles a question.

"The most direct consequence would be a large-scale war between mutants and humans, which would be a sorrow for the entire human race, because this kind of battle will never end, and it can even be said that it will lead to the self-destruction of humanity. Charles looked at the media worker who asked the question and happily answered the question.

As far as we know, the number of mutants is extremely rare, why do you think ......" The reporter just now began to continue to ask, and then a large number of men in black pushed away, the White House had already made a decision, they were ready to make official contact with Charles, and immediately arranged for someone to expel the media. ‘

Naturally, those media workers would not let such a big piece of news run away from their hands and began to ask for an interview, but this request was again savagely rejected, joking, such a thing as freedom of the press, no matter in that country, will not really exist, and no one wants to let the media hype up the wrong information before there is an official result.

"The White House wants to talk to you individually. After driving away all the media, the leader of the men in black walked up to Charles and spoke.

"If you can't ask for it, lead the way. Charles said with a smile, letting the men in black lead the way.

"Charles, we need to be careful to prevent an ambush. Marcos tried to block the intimate meeting, but was blocked by Lorna.

"You're saying this too late, we can only trust him to do this well, and he can get us out of here. Lorna looked at Charles's back and spoke.

As if he hadn't heard the conversation between the three of them, the leader in black took Charles and the three to the president's office, but in the process, the leader in black stopped from being relaxed at the beginning to suddenly nervous, and then confirming that nothing had happened around him.

Marcos and Lorna also noticed that something was wrong with the man in black and immediately became vigilant.

"Is there something wrong?, or are you taking the wrong path?" and Charles looked at the man in black and stopped, and just asked innocently, as if he didn't notice the strange atmosphere of the scene at all.

Looking at Charles's innocent expression, and then looking at the pre-prepared ambush personnel around him, none of them appeared, everything in front of him made the man in black finally understand one thing, this mutant in front of him was very powerful, so powerful that it was unreasonable.

"It's nothing, just worried about going too fast, let's move on. The man in black, who found this, immediately put away his emotions and led the three Charles forwards again.

"Hey, are you really calm and don't care about the safety of the people behind the walls? I didn't expect you to be so cruel not only to mutants, but also to your own people. After hearing the words of the man in black, Charles asked with a smile.

"My job is to bring you to the president, and as for other things, it's not my concern, please. The man in black didn't mind Charles's taunt, calmly opened the door of the president's office, and invited Charles and the three to enter it again.

Charles entered the president's office again, the furnishings inside were still so familiar, Charles had come here to see it a few times in the past three months and a half, but it was boring, so he left.

Of course, it was still empty now, and since they planned to ambush Charles, they naturally wouldn't really let the president wait here, and the man in black just said a word to ask Charles to wait for a while, and left directly.

"What the hell are you going to do?" asked Lorna, who looked Charles in the eye as the man in black closed the door.

"You should have guessed it, the other party arranged an ambush, and then I solved it casually. Charles also found a chair and sat down, and replied in a non-questionable answer.
