Chapter Ninety-Nine: Another Purpose?
For days, Charles waited for the upcoming Rune.
As the days passed, Charles became more and more panicked, and he found that he could no longer detect the Hydra's mind, not just this one, but almost all the Hydra who knew what was going on.
This made Charles more and more restless, and he felt as if he had done something wrong.
Unable to sleep for more than half a month, Charles was visibly emaciated, his eye sockets were deep, and his face was haggard.
******
New York, Headquarters of the Bureau of Strategic Scientific Investigation.
Fury hurried into the director's office.
"Director, Luska is getting started."
Standing up from his seat for a moment, Carter looked serious: "What did they do to those mutants?" ”
"Yes, Director, last night, Luska's men launched an attack on the students who had left Xavier Academy." Fury nodded with a heavy expression.
Fury's expression gave Carter a sense of foreboding, and he immediately asked, "What about the casualties?" ”
After a pause, Fury replied, "Luska seems to have a weapon in his hand that suppresses mutants, and those mutants have almost no power to fight back. ”
Carter's face turned extremely ugly.
She has been trying to pit Charles and Luan against each other, so that Charles can test Lune.
But when the two sides were really opposed, she realized how stupid everything she was doing, Charles and Luan were not on the same level at all, and the so-called provocation and temptation were simply a joke.
"Did Charles know that his student had been arrested?"
Carter had a hint of luck in his heart, after the evaluation of experts, Charles has the power to destroy the world, once Charles knows that his student has been arrested, he will definitely not let go of Lune.
Fury shook his head with a wry smile.
"Charles doesn't know yet, but I think he'll find out soon."
Kindness? Carter looked at Fury with a puzzled look.
"Luska's men have already taken the captured mutants to Xavier's Manor, and they may have arrived now."
Hiss~
Carter took a breath of cool air, unable to hide the shock in his heart.
Was the man trying to take the initiative to stir up a dispute?
What the hell is he trying to do?
******
Rune knew he couldn't hide Carter's actions, and he didn't want to.
In the next time, he will start the "Imperial Project" with all his might, and he has no time or mood to play intrigue with those rats in the gutter.
As the saying goes: only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves.
In order to ensure that he can start the "Imperial Project" without distractions, Lune plans to solve the mutant problem before the plan begins, and at the same time, by the way, show his muscles to some people and deter those with bad intentions.
The sun is rising, and today is a rare good weather, with clear skies and fresh air.
It stands to reason that such weather can make people feel a good mood, but Charles doesn't feel it at all, and his mood is becoming more and more restless.
Last night, as usual, he went into the underground base to search for Rune's men, but found nothing.
Just as he was about to finish, he stumbled upon the students who had left and suddenly disappeared from his perception, not just one, but all of them, including Hank and Raven.
This discovery shocked Charles, and he guessed Lune's purpose.
So he had been in front of the castle since last night, and waited quietly for Rune's arrival.
Towards noon, dozens of cars arrived at Xavier's Manor, where the gates were open.
Dressed in a black trench coat and wearing black leather gloves, the domineering and awe-inspiring Lu En took the lead, and behind him, there were black men pushing the mutants who disappeared yesterday and getting out of the car.
Looking at Charles's haggard, blue face, there was a mocking look in Lune's eyes.
"Charles, it looks like you haven't had a good rest during this time."
Seeing the mutants who were tied up one by one and wore an unknown collar around their necks and were ashamed to look at them, Charles's uneasy heart calmed down.
The unknown is the scariest thing.
Although his students have been arrested, they are all alive and well, at least for the time being, and everything depends on what the man wants.
It was useless to argue with the man over words, so Charles asked straight to the point, "Mr. Lune, what do you want?" ”
"Surrender." Rune was also very simple, he just wanted to solve the mutant matter as soon as possible, "or die." ”
Charles's face changed, he didn't expect that Lu En would not leave a way to live at all, he also thought that Lu En could remember the little help he had at that time to give them a glimmer of life, it seems that their escape made Lu very angry.
Lune didn't know about Charles's mental activity, and if he did, he would have scoffed.
Escaping only gave Lune an excuse and did not affect the final outcome.
"Charles, don't promise him, we won't surrender to this executioner even if we die."
Before Charles could speak, Raven, who was being held by several big men, struggled and screamed, and stared at Luan with angry eyes.
Rune's expression remained unchanged, and he only raised his hand slightly.
Charles was shocked in his heart and shouted, "Don't." ”
It's a pity it's over.
Card rub~
Two mutant students in the crowd tilted their heads and fell limply to the ground.
Raven watched in horror at the blood gushing out of the necks of the two mutant students, and a strong murderous aura welled up in his whole body, and he struggled frantically.
"I'm going to kill you bastard!"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
Card rub~
Overlapping with the hysterical roars of Charles and Hank, two more mutant students fell to the ground in limp.
"You idiot, are you trying to kill everyone?"
Hank's face was hideous, angry and disappointed at the woman he admired, he knew that Raven was impulsive and stubborn, but he didn't expect this woman to be so stupid.
Hank and Charles' expressions made Reven thunder, and her mind went blank as she stared blankly at the four young mutants on the ground.
A dull gaze swept across each mutant student's face, responding to nothing but fear, disappointment, and disgust.
"I ...... I ......"
When the words came to his lips, Raven couldn't speak.
At this time, the sound of the ancient well of Lu Ne sounded in my ears.
"Next time, she's the one who dies."
A mutant girl handcuffed by her backhand is pulled out of the crowd by an invisible force.
The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, very young, with beautiful blonde hair.
But now there was only fear left on that young and immature face, and the eyes that looked at Raven were full of hatred.
The girl's eyes were like a sharp knife plunged directly into Raven's heart, and the stubborn heart seemed to be blown into slag by a bomb at this moment.
All the pride, stubbornness, and anger in her heart turned into fear of that man at this moment.
At this time, she fully understood why Charles turned a blind eye to the mastermind behind the scenes, and instead tried to ease the relationship between the two parties.
"Hey, you really don't have to do that, tell me your real purpose."
Charles said with a sad look and a hint of pleading.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Lu En said in his heart, it is convenient to talk to smart people.
