Three days later, Tony couldn't wait to arrive in New York, wearing a bandage and driving a limited-edition sports car with one hand, speeding all the way from the New York airport to the suburbs under the guidance of Pepper Pepper.

Standing in front of the quaint and heavy gate, Tony looked sideways at the sign that was almost obscured by vines.

【Xavier Academy for Gifted Talents】

Got it.

Tony couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and he stepped forward to push the door with his legs.

Pepper grabbed Tony.

"Tony, this is private territory, and it would be troublesome to enter without the owner's permission."

Tony was stunned: "Didn't you tell the owner that it was me Tony Stark who was coming?" ”

Xiao Pepper looked at him speechlessly: "I have been contacted, but I have not been contacted, I heard that the owner of this house is over seventy years old, and his health is a little bad, and he hardly accepts outsiders." ”

"Then why didn't you say it earlier."

Now it was Tony's turn to be speechless.

He has a poisonous mouth and a bad personality, but he is not bad enough to be disrespectful to an old man in his seventies.

Pepper gave Tony a blank look, "Did you give me a chance to speak?" Boss. ”

Tony choked up, and when he thought about it, he didn't seem to give Pepper a chance to speak since he got off the plane, interrupting her every time.

Tony wouldn't be embarrassed, though.

"So what now?"

Tony's eyes rolled, and he had an idea in an instant.

"Why don't we go over the wall and go in?"

Pepper only feels tired now, and Tony is like a big kid who keeps getting into trouble, wiping his ass by himself every time.

"Tony, you're here to ask for someone this time, can you look like you're begging?"

Tony spread his hands, "I'm not sure if I'm going to beg him." ”

Ask?

When Tony Stark begged someone, only when others begged him.

Although this manor looks luxurious, it looks a little dilapidated in Tony's eyes, and it looks like life is not easy.

He had already figured out how to get the owner to speak.

Not knowing what Tony had in mind, Pepper straightened his shirt and walked to the gate of the manor, raising his hand to press the doorbell.

At this moment, the quaint gate of the manor opened a crack in the creaking.

Then, a mild-mannered young man stepped out of it.

"Mr. Stark, the professor is waiting for you, please come with me."

Tony and Pepper looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

The young man didn't seem to be in a hurry, just stood quietly at the door.

Tony groaned, a little shocked that the professor knew he was coming, and he knew his name, but he couldn't care about anything else when he was desperate to know the truth of the matter.

The mysterious professor didn't know if he was friend or foe.

But even if it was Longtan Tiger's Den inside, he had to break in.

Determined, Tony turned around and got into his sports car and drove into Xavier Manor.

The environment in the manor is very different from what Tony imagined.

Unlike the outside, which is slightly dilapidated, the manor is very neatly kept, and at first glance it is often cleaned, and there are no dead branches and leaves on the road.

The castle in the distance is as shiny as new, and if it weren't for the quaint atmosphere that has lasted for many years, it doesn't look like an old building that has existed for an unknown amount of time.

The mild-mannered young man drove the car to lead the way, and in a short time, they came to the gate of the castle.

As soon as they got out of the car, the young man who looked like a butler led Tony and Pepper into the castle.

As soon as he walked into the castle, Tony felt something else.

Deserted~

The huge castle smells of dead leaves, and it seems that it has not been inhabited for a long time.

However, the castle was very clean.

This makes Tony more and more curious about the mysterious professor.

The young man took Tony through the castle for a while, and finally came to a room with a wide open door.

There were seven or eight people sitting in the room, three young men in their twenties, and four weird-looking weirdos who scared Tony.

Finally, an old man in a wheelchair.

"Professor, Mr. Stark has arrived."

"Welcome, Mr. Tony Stark, and this beautiful Miss Pepper Potts, I am Charles Xavier."

The old man in the wheelchair had a kind smile on his face, and his voice seemed to have a kind of power to wash people's hearts, and just saying hello made Tony's impetuous heart gradually calm down.

"Hello, Professor Charles."

Tony's rare respect for a person made Pepper on the side stunned.

When did Tony Stark, who didn't know what politeness was, learned to be polite?

Not to mention Pepper, even Tony himself thinks it's incredible, he obviously wants to get straight to the point.

As soon as his heart moved, a spiritual light flashed in his mind, and a hint of realization flashed in Tony's eyes, and he blurted out: "You are a mutant." ”

"Yes, I'm a mutant, and all the people in this room, except for you and Miss Bolts, are mutants." Charles laughed, "Aren't you just here to find mutants?" ”

"How do you know?" Tony's eyes widened, surprised.

Charles pondered for a moment, "It may take a long time to explain this question, to put it simply, mutants have some more strange abilities than ordinary people, and I~"

Charles pointed to his head, "You can see the hearts of others." ”

"Mind reading?" Tony was shocked.

"Yes." Charles smiled and nodded.

"No, no, no, it can't be." Tony shook his head, his eyes wandering around the room, "The so-called mind reading is simply impossible, I guess you just used some special means to achieve the same effect." ”

"What is it?"

"Mr. Stark, I don't think you're here to study this." Charles didn't seem surprised by Tony's reaction at all, and said unhurriedly, "Don't you want to know about Mr. Howard Stark's disappearance?" ”

"You~"

Tony looked at Charles in shock.

What he's doing here no one knows except Pepper, if Jarvis counts.

Now, Charles has revealed his purpose, and he can't believe it.

The current Tony is just Tony, who has just experienced the kidnapping, and he is not the Iron Man in the future, and he still believes in science.

If Rune had been here, he would have scoffed at it.

Science?

There is no such thing as science in the Marvel world.

That's called science fiction.

Not to mention how to be the protagonist?

After the shock, it only took Tony a short time to recover.

Others already know their purpose, so get straight to the point.

"Since the professor knows the purpose of my visit, I wonder if you know why my father Howard disappeared and where he went?"

"I know." Charles nodded.

"What? You know. Tony was stunned for a moment, and then his body suddenly began to tremble with excitement, "What happened?" Where did he go? What exactly did he go through? Who did it? ...... Is he still alive? ”

Tony's mouth erupted like a machine gun with a barrage of questions, and then he looked at Charles with hope.

"I can't tell you."

Burst~

Tony almost got out of his internal injuries.

If he could, he really wanted to punch the old guy in the head.

But he's Tony ~ the future Iron Man, he can't do it.

"Old man, do you have any conditions?"

"It's okay, you can mention it, you can do whatever you want."

"If you want money, you just have to make a price, I will never make a counteroffer~"

Charles's answer made Tony break the defense directly and become the foul-tongued playboy again.

"Tony~"

Pepper hurriedly stepped forward to stop Tony, but was stopped by Charles with a look.

Turning his head to look at Tony, who looked unruly, Charles smiled.

"Is it really okay?"

Tony's eyes lit up and he said proudly, "Of course, I will never bargain." ”

Seeing that Tony was so confident, Charles seemed relieved and nodded to Hank on the side.

Hank then pulls a stack of photos out of his arms and hands them to Tony.

Tony took the photo and looked at Charles suspiciously.

"What does this mean, old man?"

Charles laughed: "That's my condition, help me get them out." ”

Tony glanced at the photo in his hand and found that it was nothing special, so he patted his chest and said confidently.
